Some initial feedback (sorry been busy last few days).
- Upload firmware, no issues, upgraded from 1.2.1 on Intel NUC. Home, ? not working on top right corner.
- Networking OK
- On system, poor contrast in colours (see above), buttons appear to be ok, but not tested systematically
- Browse. Buttons at bottom lose icon before word, when firefox on laptop not in full screen mode (e.g. 2 Ram buttons). + Ram makes sense, but tick ram does not. + folder, +file sort of make sense as does delete. Need to rethink buttons, not intuitive enough? Quick test of load a track to Ram and can play music
- SnakeOil. Not sure I like 2 layer approach, having to click another icon to get to say system services, and then have to double click back to Dashboard.
- Music player needs more work; initial impression is that it has gone backwards. Suggest putting legend up page, quite easy to miss.
mympd working with MPd 0.22.9 No check on SQ
plus, minus buttons, overlap with available music players
Confused by "Selected Software to Start"; are you suggesting that this is what we should start as a player? Confusing that I can add Mpd and LMS at the same time? There are no rules behind it. I need to spend more time testing the players.
I am not thrilled on the looks and not convinced that the navigation is better, will post more when I am satisfied that functionality is all there.
Overall, a good start, at least we have something to play with. Good that the technology behind is up to date. I have yet to find a compelling reason to go back to 1.2.1 (fingers crossed!).
