A few minor bugs/suggestions to report

[oviano]

1) If the remote box is powered off then it correctly displays "No Signal", however upon powering on the box the "No Signal" banner has a habit of remaining in the top left hand corner indefinitely - or at least until I choose to show the stream info in the same location, after which it disappears.

2) when you choose Settings -> Edit Slingboxes -> <Slingbox Name> and then hit Back, you are taken right back to the root menu. I would find it more logical for it to return you to the previous menu. A few times it has caught me out and I have instinctively click on the Exit button at the bottom and this of course quits the application as I'd forgotten I'd been taken back to the highest level menu and was anticipating this button taking me back one level.

3) in the settings for a particular Slingbox, adjusting the framerate to 20, 25 or 30 seems to have no effect - the framerate always seems to be that chosen by the Slingbox. Also, 50 and 60 fps are valid framerates for the new Slingboxes too (well, see my other bug post regarding not being able to actually get 60fps in Slingfront, but I can certainly get 50fps).

4) I don't know why, but sometimes it takes a long time at the "Loading Slingboxes" stage. I just did a test and simultaneously launched the regular web player on one machine and hovered the mouse over "Directory" and launched Slingfront on another - the directory on the web player appeared listing my Slingboxes within a couple of seconds, whereas it took ages for Slingfront to bring up the main menu. In fact, quite often I find it times out or something and doesn't even produce a list at all - in which case the main menu consists only of "Settings" and "Exit".

Could it cache this list or something? Is the delay because Slingfront is waiting for a response from each Slingbox or something whereas the webplayer isn't? I suggest this because in the WDTV player you get the directory displayed first and then beneath each Slingbox in the directory it initially displays "Waiting for answer..." until the Slingbox replies at which point it changes to something like "Remote - available" or "Busy" or whatever state the Slingbox is in. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree but there does seem to be a difference in behaviour.

5) a really minor graphical glitch; from the main menu, click on "View Slingboxes" and keep the mouse positioned where you clicked it. On the next menu (the one listing the Slingboxes), focus your eye on the "Back" button at the bottom and watch how it's colour increases brightness slightly as you move the mouse down onto the second slingbox down in the list.

I did say "minor bugs" in the topic
