Description Wadzinski Tom 2008-11-10 14:09:03 UTC
Currently if you have more than one squeezeplay running on a network (on a controller or desktop), unless you have changed the name it would be pretty easy to not know which player in the choose player list is the local player. For hardware devices (other than the receiver), you can use the remote to find out what the player name name is, but there currently isn't a way that I know of to know who you are player-wise in squeezeplay.

My suggestion is to have the Choose Player list look like the following to make it clear which is the local player:
-Office Boom!
-Grrls Boom
-SqueezePlay 7 (This Player)
-etc...

For screen size reasons the following might be better:
-Office Boom!
-Grrls Boom
-(Local) SqueezePlay 7

Moving SqueezePlay bugs to 7.3.1

fixed in r3403 - the current player is always at the top of the "Choose Player" list.
