Snakeoil Firmware 1.2.2 Testing Builds

[Snoopy8]

What do you mean tab is inefficient use of space? Do you mean the zones? or the flip between running software & output devices?

The logs should say "Coming soon"? Is that text showing up in your setup?

When I say inefficient, most of the real estate on the right in not used (on a PC). Yes, coming soon is showing up.
 

Unfortunately, the old layout with fixed player combinations can't do what most people want these days. The problem is really the backend, not the webapp. De-coupling everything and just run a list of software is more scalable. This is an alpha build, basically to get everything "linked and hooked up". Once the big things are working, the GUI will be cleaned up to be more intuitive. Already have some ideas how to clean this up.

As for that information blob, personally I do not read that at all, because I am well aware of what the players are capable of, and how to set it up. Also, more importantly what works with each other.

However, most users today only want to spend 10 seconds to use something, if the information is not presented to them now, they will  claim the software isn't working. This is why that information panel is so prominent, and it will link back to the Wiki with even more information (in the future). Despite all this, I'm sure 95% of these same folks will not bother to read it anyway. So, .

Maybe it is me???  The new Music Player is not easy to use.  Does not help that legend is at bottom.  Most people have no idea what "Gui available in VNC mean" (and I am not sure that I really know!).  Yes, information blog should help a new user.  But it drifts into SnakeOil philosophy.  p/s never read that blog either, until now. 
 
So, is this for the few people who use VNC and want multiple servers, players etc?  Or is it for the many users we want to attract because it is easy to setup?

Please note that I am only 1 voice.  I do wish others can contribute their opinions.
