Well, after a few days of reading and sampling I'm getting to like what I see :D

There are a few small issues though with MediaBridge:

1. It seems that the media library section (even when using the default "new-pro" CCF doesn't scroll properly. If I expand either albums or genres, I get a nice and long horizontal scroll area. However, if I expand artists, the horizontal scroll is very short.

2. My playlists are not expanding (I didn't notice anything about that in the "known issues").

3. I've searched and noticed in another thread that although you can click on an artist and be presented with a menu, you can't actually add/play through that menu. That's fine for me since I know, but other users won't. They'll think they're adding music only to find their work was for not. Is there a fix for this?

All of this is using the latest trial versions of NetRemote/MediaBridge (no girder) and winamp 5.08d.

Thanks for the help!

Hello. Thanks for your comments.

Can you reproduce all 3 issues in the windows version of NR and send me screenshots? I'm not sure I fully understand issues 1 and 3.

Thanks!

Attached is a screen shot showing issue #3. Selecting this menu will not do anything.

Issue #1 was not able to be reproduced in Windows. Looking deeper it seems that the text would fit IF the vertical scroll bar was not there. Meaning the window is allowing the text to be fully displayed, but the scroll bar is blocking the last portion of it. I hope that helps.

Issue #2 cannot be shown because all that happens is a quick display of "loading..." on the screen. Maybe I'm not loading them correctly to be found?

Thanks for the support.

Hi. That should definitely work (choosing an artist and hearing all albums by that artist).

What media player are you using?

I'm using winamp 5.08d. That menu selection doesn't work in either windows or the PPC version.

Okay, thanks. We'll attempt to replicate the issues using that version of WinAmp.

Note that playlists are not surfaced from WinAmp to MediaBridge, so effectively that should be hidden. Unfortunately WinAmp's media library controls are a bit basic compared to the other 4 media players we support.
