Dream web interface - 13/02/2002 00:36
While we're waiting for the XML setup, what would you like to see in the ideal web interface?
Attached is not the ideal interface. But it's a sketch that shows how to wrap Hijack's playlist interface with some transport controls. So you can pause and skip through playing playlists.
Ultimately, we need a different interface for the web than the menus and buttons of the empeg and remote. For example, searching is tedious with the remote; the web interface should have a text field to type search terms into and a 'Go' button.
What else? How about Visuals selection via thumbnails? Single button presses for most commands? How should such an interface be organized?
