Bugzilla – Bug 6597
player name text entry issues
Last modified: 2008-05-15 12:27:00 UTC
r1404 (from 12 Jan SC 7 nightly) If you pick the Settings/Advanced/Player Name option you cannot cancel your choice. You have to enter a name or the player will be renamed to zero(0). This is particularly bad because the Player Name text entry functionality has many quirks in it as well. Please let me know if these need to be reported separately. 1) Can't scroll from the end of the characters to the front - it cycles on the last 2 special characters. 2) No Space character 3) Hitting the Insert key at the end of the text (to add a space) seems to turn off the letter scrolling. Question - WHY would you want to enter the player name from the controller anyway? Unless you are thinking of a completely computer-less installation player naming would almost certainly be done inside of the SC web interface, etc. Just remove the option for the sake of simplicity???
Dang, I missed 6384 the first time when entering this. I didn't see the other text keying stuff anywhere, though, so I didn't mark it as a duplicate.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6384 ***
The other bug 6384 was only partially fixed (on the SC side) and didn't address any Jive issues. It was stated that a different bug was going to be opened for the jive side of that problem. It wouldn't have addressed any of the actual text entry issues noted here so I'm unflagging this one as a duplicate. I suppose it could be flagged as a duplicate of the new one (or is this the new one?) to correct the jive side issues.
on the quirks-- 1) I'm unsure why this is occurring, but it does eventually "recover" if you scroll a couple extra turns. 2) fixed in SC change 16473 3) I don't see this behavior, but if it's still there we have a space key now, so that's at least a decent workaround on the question-- yes, it's valid to change a player name from the controller, esp. for those connecting to SqueezeNetwork instead of SqueezeCenter. There are going to be those that don't want to go to a web browser for something like this. leaving this bug as reopened, due to problem #1 above. setting target milestone to 7.0.1, priority to P3, severity to minor
Fixed in SC 7.0.1 change 17863. Reassigning to Michael to check if the localization scripts caused this problem.
Verified fixed in 7.0.1 - 19422
This bug has recently been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 Please try that version, if you still see the error, then reopen this bug. To download this version, please navigate to: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html
