The reason is simple: iPeng doesn't know. That's the big difference between the full iOS App and the Watch App. The iOS App - while it's running - has a full connection to the server and monitors the full state of all players. But to set that up takes 7s and causes quite a bit of load on the server (meaning it also holds up everything else) so it's not an option. The Watch extension gets the state for the current player but not more. > > Secondly, the power control screen doesn't always provide appropriate > options.

This should not be, the _current_ player should switch to turning on. For Group and "All" there's only "Power Off" because the state of the other players is not known. I think for more complex operations like turning on several players and so on... that's probably something you want to do on the phone. This function is there to quickly silence a group or - more importantly - everything if you leave the home so that you don't have to pull out your phone for that. > > Otherwise this is a great first version for the watch.

Yes, that's a plan. I'm probably going to introduce a 3rd page for that to get around the limitation of 4 items for the context menu. We'll see how well the full text search in LMS 7.9 does in connection with the Voice Recognition (this is not Siri, it's actually Dictation, you can't access Siri from an App). --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103693 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
