Sorry for the delay since your reply, the iPod 5 I'd got on eBay was faulty so I had to return it & get another one. I'm still using iPeng Classic both on an iPod 5 with the lightning connector in the Sony dock and also on an iPhone 5 as the remote controller, I noticed another odd thing. The volume slider on the iPod still has no effect on speaker volume, but if I adjust the volume using the slider on the remote device then the volume does change (up/down within the max of the current setting on the player), but then after a few seconds it jumps back to original setting. Odd. I came across this first while playing with Orange Squeeze running under BlueStacks, which does the same thing, changes the volume, but the volume resets when the volume control disappears. I got Orange Squeeze 'cos I wanted something better on my PC than the Logitech app and figured trying the various Squeeze apps under BlueStacks might be the way to go. Works great though. I tried Squeeze Commander first but for some reason it wouldn't connect to my LMS so I returned it. Out of interest, do you know what's happening with Squeeze Commander? You (or another guy called Pippin) seem to be handling support for it but it looks like the app has become defunct. You can still buy it but the Developer seems to have walked away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ianto39's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17079 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
