Bluegaspode, Actually, the syncing of the Droid was entirely by accident. It took me a while to get used to the interface for SC -- there's a few things I don't think are intuitive. (Like having to know to slide the window to the left for edit mode or to the right to get out of it -- it seemed to me I got in edit mode with a long fingre press, not a swipe.)
I reset my phone (as in power-down, remove battery, wait, replace, power-up) and it didn't help. Then I finally went back and powered down my phone and stopped SBS. Then I brought up SBS, powered up my phone, and ran SP then SC and the player (my phone) showed up. I did try, at one point, to rename it, but I see that ever time the connection is broken, then reconnected, it's seen as a new player. Before I got this working, I had the web UI up to see what it had (and to confirm what I had on SC) and was working from SC, but didn't see HTC Eris on it at all. But the full power-cycling and restarting thing changed it all so it's working now. I do notice one thing I find interesting: When I accidentally synced my Droid to my home Squeezeboxen, it played the same stream from RadioIO that the other players were playing. Later, when I tried to get to my apps, to see if I could play Pandora or RadioIO back through this setup, I got an error message (that the current device was already registered to someone else). So it looks like if I try direct playback of some apps, I'm blocked (probably due to licensing), but if I play those apps through a synced group, then add my Droid, it plays fine. Also, I'd never use sync for the Droid with the Squeezeboxed in my house (which are all hardwired in) due to latency, as you mentioned, and other considerations. But, on the other hand, you can use that if you're at home and listening to music and enjoying it and you have to leave in a car -- you can use it to transfer your current listening choice from home to mobile. There is one other issue -- I noticed it while writing this post. All my music is in FLAC files, with old time radio shows in MP3 files. When I play FLAC files, I get pauses and breaks where it stops, then it starts again soon. That doesn't seem to happen with MP3 files. Can I assume this is due to the amount of data being streamed? And can I change that setting without it affecting my home Squeezeboxes? -- HalNineThousand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HalNineThousand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87617 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
