I don't know, it should be enough to start the playback once on the device. The problem is, that iOS sends to the App it deems the "playing" App. Until iPeng starts to play the first time, this will be the built-in iPod App. I'll have to see whether I can do something about this. Maybe iPeng could just start playback with a silent track when it's first being started but then this would disable any playback through the iPod App.... not so easy.. Also, it can definitely not work whenever iPeng is in the background and playback has been off for longer, iPeng then stops to run in the background, everything else would just consume too much power. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, 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
