You use it, when that information gets out of sync with the server. The only case where this can happen is usually if you do a "Clear and Rescan" on the server without changing anything WRT your library so the numbers stay the same and you then restart the server before starting iPeng the first time. There are users who do this on a daily basis. > > Using ipeng lately has been irregular and many times I would have to > exit ipeng and re-connect to get the proper indications of the players > status. This has nothing to do with the cache. It sounds more like you are having trouble with the connection to the server breaking down. I know of a few scenarios where this can happen:
1. First and most common: There seems to be an issue with certain routers ans WiFi connections to iPhone. I have a number of users reporting similar things where these did go away when they changed the router. This seems to be more common on iPhone and I suspect is has to do with the iPhone trying to use the 3G network instead of WiFi. 2. You simply have an unstable connection to the router. I have trouble like that with one of my devices although Safari seems to be more affected. It's easy to identify since iPhone/iPod doesn't show a "Wifi enabled" icon in the status bar. 3. iPeng's NowPlaying screen seems to sometimes lose the connection to the underlying player object when you switch between different music sources and the player is visible in both configurations (this can happen if all servers are on the same network where players on other servers are shown, too). I'm investigating this one. 4. iPod/iPhone can sometimes be slow to reconnect to the WiFi network after a wakeup from sleep mode. In the cases of 1. and 4. it can help to use the "keep connection" option in the iPeng settings. This will keep iPeng running in the background and iPeng will keep the connection. On iPod touch 3G (and only on that one) I still see occasional WiFi shutdowns even though the App itself is still running, which should not be the case. Hope this helps a bit. -- 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
