Bugzilla – Bug 5366
Should be able to customise the top-level player screen
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:31:41 UTC
It should be possible to choose what items appear at the top-level player screen as you can on Squeezeboxes. For example, I should be able to choose to have Albums appear at the top-level, rather than having to go through My Music.
I agree, and I think it is planned, but I don't necessarily see this required for launch.
Yes, it is. Ben has this on his plate.
Ben: What's the status of the Home Menu?
anything with Severity "enhancement" is getting a milestone tag as "Future"
I want to talk about the importance of this feature.
Ben proposes a two-phase approach where for "first gen", we just have a list of the default home menu items with checkboxes for viewing them/not viewing them. Settings would not be allowed to be "unviewed", the rest can. The second phase would allow the addition of items to the home menu that are otherwise in lower levels of the hierarchy like (but not limited to) all the items under Music Library, Internet Radio, Music Services, Favorites, etc...
I don't think this is needed for 7.0, it would be better for 7.0.1.
This is an essential requirement for 7.0.1
*** Bug 7280 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
per discussion today, bug fixes are targetted for 7.0.1, new features for 7.1. This is the latter.
This is pretty much fixed in 7.1 trunk, r2419 and r2420. I have some SC-side enhancements that I want to do yet, so I'm going to leave the bug open, but the applet is now functional. User is presented with a list of items they can either add/remove from the top-level menu. - If the item's default location is the top level menu, unselecting the item from the Customize Home Menu applet will result in it being hidden from view - If the item's default location is a sub menu, unselecting the item will remove it from the top level menu but leave it in it's default location - Item's whose default location is a sub menu are never removed from their default location
7.1 trunk SC change 19469 sends individual OPML-based items (Rhapsody, Pandora, Staff Picks, etc.) for use by the selection list in CustomizeHomeApplet. By default these items are hidden. If the checkbox is selected from the list, the item is added to the top-level menu. I'm still working on the sort routine on the list, but for all intents and purposes, this bug is now fully fixed.
Verified fixed in 7.1-21608 r2551
