Description Barry Gordon 2008-09-15 07:37:17 UTC

As per Michael Herger's suggestion to request this as an enhancement:

There is significant overhead in all aspects of a system to make a TCP/IP request so it is best to get as much as possible in a single request. Rather than do 5 seperate TCP/IP requests I would much rather do one of the form:
ID playerpref prefname: prefname: prefname: ...
or specifically for the alarms
ID playerpref alarmSnoozeTime: alarmFadeTime: alarmTimeoutTime: alarmDefaultVolume: alarmEnabled:

similarly to set a bunch of prefs 
ID playerpref prefname:value prefname:value prefname:value ... 
which just looks very similar to a set of tags on the request

This would be a very good general capability for all prefrences, server or player based. My 2 Cents.

Isn't this what you filed as bug 9448?

Yes. Obviously a Senior Moment

Getting old really does draw down the memory capacity
