Description Mickey Gee 2008-01-26 21:24:31 UTC
I was using the beta.squeezenetwork.com and creating an account. I got to the "Add Player" screen and I went about finding the PINs for my existing Transporter. I couldn't find the PIN. 

Could we add some helpful information on this screen for people to look for PINs on SB3 or Transporters or whatever equipment you already have or what to do with such equipment?

Adding screenshot.

Also remember that the new SN requires you to enter a PIN, you can't get past the screen on your player without entering it.  So it should be easier to find.

Will review the outstanding SN bugs after 7.0 ships.
Comment 4 Matthew J. Martin 2008-02-08 10:21:33 UTC
need copy / graphics for this screen
Comment 5 Michael Herger 2008-02-15 23:17:14 UTC
Dean/Brian/marketing/whoever: could somebody please offer some wording?

Unassigning to get more attention. This bug doesn't need to be assigned to Matt as long as there's not solution to be implemented.

Ok, this is messed up.  :)

Let's kill the separate "Add a player" screen and just have the "My Devices" screen.   Attached is how it looks now, and how it _should_ look.

What the screen should look like

The text is this:

Use this screen to add a new Squeezebox, Transporter or Controller to your account or adjust the settings on your
device.  You can also delete a device from your account if you are no longer using it.

To add a device, choose SqueezeNetwork during setup, from the Home menu or in Settings under Music Sources. 

If your device hasn’t been connected to SqueezeNetwork before, your Player Idendification Number or PIN, will be 
displayed.  If your device has been connected before, look for the PIN in Settings.

Enter the PIN in the box to the right and choose a name for your player, such as Living Room, then click Add.

BTW:  The player name should also be a link to its settings screen.
Comment 10 Michael Herger 2008-02-19 05:15:17 UTC
change 2612 - please test! Thanks!
Comment 11 Blackketter Dean 2008-02-19 21:12:13 UTC
Great, thanks.  

Couple of minor tweaks:  

-  Make "Players and Controllers" instead "My Devices" in the top bar

-  Make the title of the top left area also "About My Devices"

- Make the title of the top right area "Add A Device"

Finally, make the name of the device also a link to its settings.
Comment 12 Michael Herger 2008-02-20 02:09:15 UTC
change 2650 - time to test again...
