From my testing, the player settings (brightness, text size, etc) must be configured on the server to which the Squeezebox device is connected - SBS or MySB - regardless of whether the integration status between the SBS and MySB (enabled or disabled). And that's exactly what is so confusing. The integration should mean that all these settings are synchronized: you make a change in MySB and it should propagate to SBS and vice versa. But none of these settings is currently synchronized. The integration between SBS and MySB works only for apps, but again, the Podcast Player app installed in MySB and showing in iPeng does not show up in the My Apps list in SBS. Finally, when the Squeezebox device is connected to the SBS, the integration between SBS and MySB results in the Podcast Player's podcasts added on MySB showing in the iPeng Podcast Player app, but not visible anywhere in SBS; therefore, SBS acts as a proxy between the Squeezebox device and MySB in this case. The SBS's Podcast plugin seems completely useless if you want to use iPeng to control your Squeezebox device. You can uninstall it and the SBS continues to proxy the podcasts added in MySB to the Squeezebox device, and iPeng can see and play these podcasts. -- sirozha sirozha's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71343 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox receiver + iPeng - reliable?
Well, my experience is that most of the potential issues you could be seeing are between the server and your Receivers. If you've got a stable setup there, iPeng should work pretty solid. I'd recommend a decent NAS or small media server with SBS on it and to wire the Receivers wherever possible. However _my_ Receiver is on WiFi and I'm having zero issues. One thing you should be aware of is that you cannot setup a receiver with iPeng, you need a Controller or Net::UDAP for this so I would add a few more considerations: 1. Is a Classic an option instead of the Receiver? It can be configured using the IR remote 2. If you configure it using Net::UDAP I would recommend to have a stable configuration using a 24/7 server so you run low risk of losing a connection. Also the Receivers should stay powered. -- 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=71351 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Dear all, I hadn't consulted this website for a few months and recently updated to the latest SqueezeCenter (after a new Vista install). I was used to running SoftSqueeze and remembered I could install it straight from SqueezeCenter. However, I could not find info on this in SC anywhere. So I searched this forum ... HUGE problem. Enetering Softsqueeze gives a vast number of hist with the top threads running for many pages and apparently not dealing with Softsqueeze at all. I just don't have the time to go though all of them!! I diod discover that SoftSqueeze has now apparently replaced by SqueezePlay and consulted the WiKi. The download given, however, is the SC download. I have now gone full circle. SqueezePlay is apparently integrated in SC but SC doesn't reveal this secret. The help option is no help either since it just sends me to the general Logitech web pages. This site is no good either since a search for SqueezePlay gives mne a vast number of hits in threads taht aren't devoted to it at all. Sorry, but that is not the way to get people to use something that is new. I am desperate and quite annoyed that there is no way of getting quick info on a basic question ... how do I play music on my PC using SC?

Re: [slim] iPod / iPhone as a receiver
I am in the same boat as most posters in this thread, looking for a way to stream my 1TB collection wirelessly to the iPhone. I tried iPeng dance and Squeeze Mobile but unfortunately neither worked for me. Good attempts though. So I consider writing and publishing my own iPhone app which will not rely on QuickTime to playback Squeezebox stream. It's doable in 1-3 months. I am not looking to make big money, just to do myself and a community a favor and recoup time stolen from family. The question is, how much demand is there? Would you use one? Would you pay $9.99 price point for it (provided it is 100% reliable?) Let me know what you think. Or, maybe there's another solution that I should try instead? -- andrei_c andrei_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66511 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

How are users who do not (habitually) follow the forum ever going to find out about SqueezePlay? And more generally, even if they do use the forum, how can they find help without having to wade through vast numbers of pages? My opinion, as just another user, is that users will find out about SP when it is released, because then Logitech will make it easily accessible via the main download pages. Until then, I think it's safe to say that Logitech only wants the more interested users (who may frequent the forums) using SP. A main reason for having a public beta is to get bug reports from users in the field. If the user doesn't come to the forums, he/she is unlikely to file bug reports. But they might try to contact support, which is not equipped to support beta products. If you only search on one keyword (eg, SoftSqueeze) you're going to get tons of irrelevant results. If you do a better search -- eg, using both the words 'Squeezeplay' and 'download' -- you'll see something useful in the top few results, such as the thread '7.4 Desktop Squeezeplay builds with Radio/Touch/new Controller UI now available' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67760highlight=squeezeplay+download). Btw, while SP should not go silent when you try to sync with SB, you should be aware that sync with software players like SoftSqueeze and SP is not guaranteed. There are too many factors that SBS cannot control, like sound card drivers, for sync'ing of software players to be reliable. You might be lucky and get good sync with SP, but don't count on it. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71355 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

SoftSqueeze and SqueezePlay aren't products, per se. They are free software. Why does a company need to support software that doesn't make them money? SBS is free, BUT it is required for use of their Squeezebox products. SqueezePlay is a nice add-on, but not required. In fact, from a business sense one could argue that it might hurt sales. I have 6 PCs with Squeezeplay - maybe I'd buy more Receivers if Squeezeplay didn't exist? It's clear that Logitech SBU - like most companies today - are pretty resource-constrained and need to focus their attention on things that will strengthen their business. As much as I want them to fix and release Squeezeplay, I'd rather see them fix the remaining issues with SBS. -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.5 beta + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet Squeezeplay on all PCs gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71355 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Furthermore, SoftSqueeze isn't even Logitech software. It was written by Richard Titmuss back when he was just an SB user. Now that he's employed by Logitech to do much more mission-critical work, the community has picked up the ball for continued SoftSqueeze development. What obligation does Logitech have to make such 3rd party software an integral part of the SBS package? None that I can see. Also, if I recall correctly, part of Logitech's abandonment of SoftSqueeze is that at some point the existing versions stopped working with newer versions of SC/SBS. They weren't going to hold up development of the server software to deal with a software player that they are sunsetting anyway. And it certainly wouldn't help anyone to package a SS that doesn't work. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71355 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezeslave and 2 soundcards
As I mess around with the htpc, i figured I'd give squeezecenter another chance (been using winamp) since my buddy got a transporter I needed to set up for him and I started dreaming of buying one of my own...or at least a touch when they're available. The computer has onboard audio with as part of the HDMI out that I use for watching netflix on demand, etc on the TV. For music, I use an e-mu 1212m soundcard which has asio drivers going to my stereo's preamp. When I try using squeezeslave either with or without asio, I get no sound from the stereo. When I disabled the onboard sound, I got music. How do I use squeezeslave for music through the e-mu card without disabling onboard audio? Can it be done?
