Snakeoil 1.2.2 Beta 1

Further thoughts on Expert Player setup.  I revisited the CamiilaDSP setup and I am not sure I could have set it up with the new GUI.  In the old GUI, things were more logically laid out, no need to click on anything to see how to set things up.  There was a top to bottom, left to right flow.

As a refresher, CamillaDSP uses a loopback to intercept the audio signal and apply the filters.

In the new GUI, have to click on custom audio output to bring up config (click on left of screen), then have to switch software status to output devices to see loopback (click on top of screen). 

I'll try and setup CamillaDSP and see how it goes. Will get back to you soonish. Are you saying the Loopdevice device didn't show up in the DAC Output drop down box?



Output devices in this dropdown box should mirror the old UI.

The new GUI was meant to make things easier?  I have my doubts that I could have set things up without needing to read the Wiki.

It makes it easier for me, not really the user per se . As in this new architecture makes it a lot easier to chain different player combinations. In the old instance everything is kind of hard coded. E.g. folks cannot use upmpdcli with different versions of MPD, they can only use the latest. Folks also have to pre-configure MPD first.

So this new one scales better.

Having said all that, I do not want the Expert Player setup to hold up release of new GUI.  Not sure how many people will use Expert Player setup nor go into the complexity that I have.  So suggest releasing the new GUI with Basic player setup, while we discuss improvements to the Expert Player setup.

Eventually I will add more stuffs to the basic setup (e.g. if you install HQPLayer or Roon, that will be shown in the list). That should cover +90% of the use case, and will kind of make documentation easier too.
