Actually I'm a bit confused by what you are seeing. iPeng is not supposed to switch servers when it's in the background. Never. So something seems to be going wrong here. Are you sure you didn't switch when the App is open (in the foreground)? This can happen automatically if your server is not reachable, but usually only after a minute of use, unless you actually have a player connected to MySqueezebox.com in which case iPeng follows immediately. Where are your players, still connected to your local server? The message you are seeing comes up if MySqueezebox.com is the selected server but iPeng doesn't have username/password for it stored so the widget can't use it.

The main App is usually suspended in the background (unless you use the setting mentioned above or unless you play audio in iPeng in the background). That means it does nothing (and doesn't switch the server) but also continues from where you left it when it's being brought to the foreground again. Apps themselves have no direct influence on this, it's the OS killing the App in the background if it needs the memory they still use. > > Can you elaborate, please? How do I register iPeng to MySqueezebox.com? > Tap the "i" behind MySqueezebox.com in the list of players and music sources like shown in your screen shot. There's supposed to be some text associated with this, I'll have to investigate, why it's not being shown. The problem is if you registered iPeng with MySqueezebox.com before the update to iPeng 9.1 that introduced the widget. Before that, iPeng never stored your MySqueezebox.com username/password so while the main App could use MySB (because MySB remembers your iPeng device is registered) the widget could not. Which is when it shows this message. > > Any chance of adding a setting to disable MySqueezebox altogether? :) Not really, what you are seeing is not really supposed to happen. --- 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 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
