Title: MC 24 Panel
Post by: jackpod on May 28, 2018, 07:25:17 pm

I have a single playlist that I shuffle, it contains about 35,000 tracks. I have a distributed audio system. I use the list in panel from whatever room (or rooms I have turned on) Each room has either a PC or thin client that I display the list on. The album coverart changes with each track but the actual list does not. Maybe this feature already exists and I don't know about it or maybe it can be added, but can the list be configured to dynamically show which track is playing or maybe artist title could be added like below the coverart. I find I am constantly trying to keep scrolling to keep the list current. Is there another way I can do this

It does not exist but JRiver staff is working on it if I remember correctly.

Thanks! I hope they are working on it. I have been with MC since MC11. Was Gizmo removed from MC 24, that is what I used to use. if Gizmo is still valid, then I need to figure out why it does not work

Ok, so I just tried something I went to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52199/gizmo/#/playing I get a blank screen, if I go to setting and select the zone and then select list. I get almost the same screen as in Panel, no coverart but in the lower right there is Title and Artist along with the controls. I am a happy camper, the combination of being retired (old) and too many tracks nothing is worse than not being able to remember who or what I am listening too :)

Panel has replaced WebGizmo.  Gizmo, the Android app, is still available.

Thanks for the info. I know I am old school and I guess the operative here is old. I have an android phone and I use it to make calls. I don't stream or control anything with my phone. My old school technology still works and no need to change. I know the world has left me behind, but retiring from 40 years of technology (I started with mainframes), time to get out of the latest greatest. MC is the greatest media app out there, hopefully MC doesn't progress to the point of not doing the simple things.

Thanks for a great product
