Bugzilla – Bug 5543
need a way to disconnect from a given slimserver.
Last modified: 2007-10-30 09:37:02 UTC
the current bug where the home page is blank shows a weakness in our system, that is, you can't switch to another server/player without a working server. Let's add press-and-hold the back arrow button to disconnect and return to the built-in jive home menu that has settings and choose player.
might it not be better to simply show the built-in home menu items regardless of a response from any slimserver? This way it's seamless for the user, and they can get into settings and hunt for a slimserver.
Adding a press and hold left is the wrong thing to do here, really the slimserver menu should only be pushed on stage when we have content. So this bug does need fixing, but not in this way.
I'm suggesting that we need a way to forcibly disconnect from a given server in the case that it's impossible to get to settings, etc. This is not a common user feature, rather a failsafe.
Yes, but you should always get to the built-in menus, settings and choose player. It's a bug that you have a window pushed to the screen with no content. Once that bug is fixed, then you won't need a push and hold left.
Created attachment 2161 [details] Move menu merge into if clause What if we just moved the code that merges in the SS data into the "if data" clause...wouldn't that do it?
Can anyone comment on the patch I have attached in comment #5? I have run with that change for a day or so with no issue, but I don't think I've reproduced the failed SS data retrieval issue, so that's not really a test. Is moving the notify and _browseSink into the IF clause enough to fix the blank menu issue?
The correct fix is to display a popup while switching players, as in bug 5322. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5322 ***
