I have a set-up consisting of all android devices acting as squeeze boxes using Squeezeplayer and a linux SqueezeServer. This works very well (thanks!!), except on 2 devices which would disappear from the list of available players. As soon as I went to the device the player would reconnect. I've tried all sorts of fixes including tasker, and other apps which keep services alive, but this has not worked.
Eventually I realised that these were the 2 devices which are not always running on mains power, as I had put them on a timer to top up the batteries (they are tablets, + rechargeable speakers) every few hours, as they do not need a constant power source. After removing the timers, and giving the devices constant power the problem disappeared..... So my question is, is there anyway to stop this behaviour other than supplying a constant power source? Could this be a wakelock flag in the program which stops android hibernating the service on battery power? Or by setting a flag like "START_STICKY"? I appreciate its a small thing, but I hate to waste power when its not needed!! Many thanks!! NB: Thanks to this great app, I have multi-room audio running built from retired android devices, at zero cost... Awesome! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MintyTrebor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
