I have 3 Slingboxes now (2 Origional and 1 Pro)

I have a few questions about the pro and the pro software.

[quote]Audio Visualizations added to Audio-Only mode. WinAmp AVS support means that users can add their own visualizations. [/quote]

How do I turn on these Visualizations in Audio Only Mode?  The only thing I see is a picture of a speaker in Audio Only Mode.

[quote]Physical remote controls: SlingPlayer now works with remotes that support Microsoft Application keys.  Now you can sit back and click on a real remote control to control SlingPlayer. [/quote] What does this mean?  If my PC has Windows Media Center can I point a real remote at it and change the channels on my equipment at home? 

Can this also be used to learn IR codes in the future?

[quote]SlingPlayer has a whole new look with the RedLine skin—just one more way to change the SlingPlayer to suit your tastes.  With SlingCentral and other user contributed skins there are over 30 different skins available and more coming every month.[/quote] When I go to the link for the skins I only see 2 more skins, where do I find the other 28?

Thanks!

Scott: a few answers.

Go to Player/SlingPlayer Options/Preferences and there is a audio visulaization drop down that allows you to select which one you want to use. The selections are just none(default), blank, and advanced Visualization studio at the moment. If you want more then go to winamp site and put in Slingplayer plugins directory(Not all will work).

 On the physical remote we have mapped most of the buttons from the microsoft standard for remote controls, which most PC IR remotes use to the player. You will need a standard microfot remote say from media center or dell for this. So if you use FFW,REV,PLAY,SKIP etc they should drive the buttons on your remote if you have one selected for your current input. Channel Up and down are special in that if you have tuner only they will change the channel up and down. If you have a remote with Channel Up and Down it will change that. Note there are some buttons that don't work on the remote like the media center buttons etc that still map to media center.

On the skin front, I think the 30 skins includes some of the skins here on slingcommunity(Mainly from our very busy friend Jesus).
