NEW: Panel -- A Built-in Web App for MC and Engen
tyler69:
I was using Panel just now for a few minutes and would like to share 2 thoughts:
1. When I scroll through my library (albums) and click on an album, the view changes to track view. Then if I hit the "back" button, I am brought back to the album view. However: the view does not remember where I left it. That can become tiresome to the user, since one has to scroll from the top to where-one-left. Especially in large libraries. Can the behavior be changed?
2. Scrolling through libraries might benefit from a vertical scrollbar "thingy" on the side of the screen that has a clickable alphabet on it.

Well, after much work I have Idpi working and serving music up to dsd64 to my dac. I have found, however, that JRemote is extremely unresponsive in selecting albums and then starting to play music.
I have changed to Panel, which is much more responsive, although there are problems with track order sometimes. I am also able to shut down MC from the remote.
Question: Is it possible to restart MC without physically rebooting the pi? Certainly Panel is not accomplishing this. It cannot log in because MC is not running.
The help on this forum is awesome.

MC will restart on its own. It takes about a minute.

Thanks Jim, but it doesn't happen for me. When I shut down MC, the pi keeps powered but will not connect to vnc viewer of pc, nor to Panel or JRemote.
Or should I not be pressing the "shutdown" button in power options on Panel?
There is also a reboot option to headless text only, but I am loth to do this as I don't know where it would leave me.
Still these options are unavailable if I have shutdown power, as I cannot connect to MC nor to the pi unless I physically remove the power lead and reattach it. Then it automatically reboots.
I am sure I am doing something wrong!
On another matter, I cannot find assets nor lyrics on Panel. Is this planned for the future?
Thanks for your help.
JimH:
Shutdown turns the IdPi off. It could take a few minutes.
There's no reason to shut it down though. It uses very little power.
The Raspberry Pi has no power switch so you'd have to unplug the power after shutdown. You could put a switch in front of it though.
