This is a nice feature. The remote streaming is nice. I already have
similar apps that do this, Zumocast (which everything passes through
their server, so you're always dependent on it being up), Subsonic
(which is nice, unless you want to fast forward through a song), and
Audiogalaxy (which was crap). This would be a welcome alternative,
especially considering that I already have three Squeezebox's and their
would be no additional overhead as I load the Squeezcenter software
anyway. 

So, I splurged and paid the $5, and have to say I'm very disappointed.
It seems buggy as hell. I am using this on an iPhone 4. I had to close
out iPeng three times by double clicking the home button and holding
down the icon and closing it. When it did play, it was okay, but the
screen kept blinking on me, and the WiFi selection would constantly pop
up, (I was at work, and can't use their WiFi despite the fact it was
detected). I paused it to make a phone call, but when I switched back,
it did not keep my place in the song, instead I had to start all over
(and of course it didn't play the first time, requiring me to close out
the app again). What happens is it looks like it is playing for about 30
seconds, but no sound comes out, then it just stops.

I also have a general question about which ports need to be forwarded.
Both the 3483 and the one I have for the interface xxxx? I'd rather
change the external ports, and map them to the 3483 and xxxx. But it
looked like in the app I could set the server address, but there was no
way to reassign the xxxx. Am I missing something? Some detailed
instructions on how this all works would be welcome. Also, is there a
way to secure the connection. I read something about setting up a
password, but would that be for all the Squeezeboxes?

I understand this is your first shot at this, but since you are
charging actual money for this feature, I shouldn't have to be a beta
tester. The streaming is very buggy, and at this point in time,
unusable.
