I have downloaded mjcumming's volume slider from his MC CCF/GML combo, but I'm getting nowhere fast. The first time I tried it I could control wave volume, but when I tried to change it to master volume (which is what I want to control) I just got stuck. The thing is that I want to be able to control the volume on all of my zones, and then I need to be able to assign several different sliders to different volumes. That should be possible, right? I hope somebody can help me out here!

Also is it possible to have feedback from more than one Girder instance now? I need that to be able to use all the volume sliders the way I want. Or maybe it's only possible to use sliders/feedback with one instance? In that case I'll have to settle for old fashioned volume buttons for the other compuer, which will be a great defeat...

I'm not sure what's going wrong in the first part, Mastiff.

You can get feedback from multiple girder instances. Just make sure the variables are named differently. You can use sliders/feedback with more than one instance, just make sure and set the ID's of the buttons appropriately (-1 for the first one, -1000 (default) for the 2nd, etc.)

Thanks! I'll try to solve it. And finally use Girder on several instances. It's going to be interesting, I think. 8)

As I posted elsewhere -

Feedback from multiple drivers is possible. Make sure and set the different drivers to different listen ports, though. If both are 1023, only one will work.

This is changed with the next rev to be released, but for now you can do it.

Sounds very logical! But since you're so close to releasing the new version that does not need to define a listening port I will wait. Because you did mean that it will be out this weekend with that function, right?

It will be out with the next release, yes. Which I was hoping to have this weekend.

Unfortunately to help fight some of the TCP/IP issues I've been moving to adopt a new Socket library for all drivers that Dave is writing. It will be -very- clean when done but we've had a few hiccups.

I hope to have something for you guys to play with while I'm gone. Hopefully Tuesday night, Wednesday morning.
