Adam, iPhone will shut down WiFi after a while when the screen locks. It can then take a few seconds until the connection is re-established but then iPeng should work fine. An exception is if your server's IP address changed while the device is in sleep mode and also I did have some similar reports in the past, but we were never able to reproduce this. Do you _always_ get this and does control never come back? You can see whether WiFi is on through the "WiFi" icon on the iPhone status bar. One more thing is: this can indeed take a bit longer on iPhone because iPhone doesn't completely lose the connection (3G stays on) so iPeng may take a bit longer to find out that now it can indeed use WiFi again. You are correct, "Preserve connection" will keep WiFi enabled. This costs battery life (around 12-15h with iPeng running) but will give immediate control when it comes back. Plus, this way you can use the volume keys to control the volume on the currently selected Squeezebox (or group) while the screen is still locked. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
