You can configure a MAC address on the settings screen of SqueezePad (small button on the lower left). Then it will send a WakeOnLan-packet to your Vortexbox to wake it up, when SqueezePad starts. You cannot start a rescan of your music library from SqueezePad. Up until now I thought this is not needed - as when one copies new songs to the vortexbox or any other server one typically does not have the iPad in it's hand but works on that particular machine. Starting the Squeezebox-Server Web interface to trigger a rescan from there is easier than grabbing the iPad and starting SqueezePad (I think/thought). Why would you want to start a rescan from SqueezePad (it's a very easy feature, but as can be read everywhere else I'm a bit reluctant to just put everything into SqueezePad, thus sacrifizing it's clean user interface) ? -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
