Remote Now Playing Cover

Post by maggio »

Hi, I am using an Ipad as remote.
In Now Playing the cover is too big in landscape.
Great software!

Hi Maggio.

I've split this out into a separate thread.

Yes I intend to look at the cover sizing on the NP view. Thanks.

Maybe the cover should be smaller.
Five star, start, pause and so on are partially over the cover.

P.S.1 Is it possible to have a full playlist view?
P.S.2 is it possible to have shortcut to artist (A, B, C, etc) in artist view?

Cover is actually a bit small on the iPad. Ideally it should fill the space between the top bar and the bottom bar. On my iPod the cover fits but the volume controls etc are over it, which I'm fine with. On the iPhone 4 it is bit big as (curiously) the space is smaller owing to the header bar. Sorry no more iThings to test with. Bottom line - it is better, but ideally could be more "responsive".
I now have a different problem in that no Album pages will display (whether selected directly or from NP page) [EDIT - see post under bugs].
P.S. I second PS2 above. Not fussed about PS1 so much as I tend to play whole albums and so the album view (when it works) gives me the playlist and swapping between the views is a breeze.

I do play whole album but if I create a playlist with more albums I would like to be able to jump through tracks.

P.S.3 Is it possible to have shortcut to home position instead to press Back several times?

The player controls are intended to overlay the bottom of the album cover where necessary, it's semi-transparent so the cover shows through. Tap the album cover to remove the overlay.

PS1: Possibly for LMS player yes, I've added it to my list for investigation.
PS2: I don't understand, could you elaborate?

Re PS2: the list of composers/artists is quite long and you have to scroll through them all. An a.z somewhere would help find them quicker. Either down the side Rolodex-style, which we discussed a while back and is a bit tricky, or maybe across the top.
