now playing view, layout configuration, play to [5.0.02064]

Post by BMF »

Hello MM(5)-Team,

after testing two or three alphas now here some hints from my side.

Now playing:

In this view i cannot delete highlighted tracks with DEL

Highlighting tracks with the keyboard (Shift & page down) in the playlist iiiis veeery sloooow :-? . In general the program often reacts wit a certain delay. but developing the alphas there are less crashes.

In the previous version of MM i liked that i could customize the playlist with the culumns i like to see. In MM5 they seem fixed. Do i oversee something? if not ... i like it back :-)


Layout configuration:

In the configuration dialogue there is written: Drag available elements to a panel to be displayed or to re-order them.

Mmmh. There are no available elements in the list "available elements". I only see the activated or deactivated element for each panel. Sometimes i can move them sometimes i can't. Up to now i cannot reproduce when and when not.

Changing the layouts is not possible. I created a few and give them names to distinguish, but i fail to change between them.


Play to:

That' s a wonderful innovation. I can use it with my Sonos system. Multi zone does not work in my environment though. I have to create such zones still with the Sonos app.

It's an alpha ... so ... i like the new possibilities that i dare to foresee :).

You can do this in MM4 as well (except for multi-zone - which as you point out doesn't actually work). Do exactly as you do in MM5 - right-click on the player; instead of Play To it is called Choose Player, but as far as I can tell works just like Play To.

Update: Well, Multi-zone does work, but it requires very delicate mouse control to click in JUST the right spot to do so.
