Regarding multiple similar devices and an earlier question that got
overlooked: While your suggestion to switch IP addresses on the fly is
valid, this is a media server that builds up data when it connects. I'd
rather not have to do that each time I connect so we will have to assume
I will have multiple objects representing my multiple servers.
If each button on subpage is connected to one object, I'm assuming the
only way to connect them to another object is to manually go through and
adjust the JS on each buttons action. Yuk (There is no "F9" in Gui
Designer...)
OR, I point the buttons at an object that in itself acts as a "router"
that directs the command at the currently-selected object.
Make sense?
