Hi all,
thanks to Barry and Craig nagging me regularly ;) SqueezePad is
available with a new feature today: advanced launch URLs.
Those of you doing home automation, typically use a different App as
their main remote control App like CommandFusion , iRule, iRemoteControl
.
These tools often allow you to start a different App with a short URL,
so you are able to directly start SqueezePad from them (with the
squeezepad:// URL)
Unfortunately there are some problems with this approach (well not
anymore with SqueezePad):
- your home automation tools are typically centered around rooms, so
just starting a Squeezebox Controller with an arbitrarily selected
room is confusing
- at some point you want to get back to your Home Automation App.
Pressing the home button of your iPad and selecting the App on the
iPads main screen is inconvenient.
When you youve done everything right, you will be able to have the
following new icon in SqueezePad:
15152
Typical URLs you can use now look like the following
CommandFusion:
squeezepad://?return=iviewer://&defaultPlayer=00:04:20:27:91:1f
iRule:
squeezepad://?returnURL=irule%3A%2F%2F&defaultPlayer=00:04:20:27:91:1f
More details about these URLs can be found on my website:
