Hi mate looking good
This is that idea i had for the power button menu screen that I was telling you about in are emails and it uses your template you have now and was a quick mock up to show how it would look and works
if you like to add it I will clean it up it was a quick test template
as you can see in the template lets say you have one system only when you hit the power button it does not go to the screen template above it just wakes the system up as there is no point in the power menu popping up if you only have one system. when you want to turn a single system off you hit the power button and then the template pops up as in my screen shot but would only show one system icon and set of buttons.
Now lets say if you have more than one system like me and you hit the power button the template pops up and then gives you a selection of systems to wake like in the picture above. now lets say you wake one system up and you start watching a film but someone in another room wants to watch something and takes the only ipad you have they hit the power button again and the menu pops back up and tells that person that there is one system on indicated by the green light and two systems off indicated by the red light, they then can wake another system up and take control of that system once it wakes up. The tick means that the remote is been controlled on that system at that time, so when I get the ipad back I can hit the power button again and select a already powered up system and the tick will move to that system and then connect the ipad so I can gain control again and now we have two systems on and you are now able to control a lot more systems by 1 ipad.
if you want to shut one system down but keep another system on you can see each host has its own buttons for turning them off so one can just hit shutdown using the button below that system as the other person can still watch a different system.
what you think ? I posted on here to see what people thought of that as this would make this app a lot more multi system friendly
cheers mate
