Re: [slim] Digital output level for Duet and Touch
There is no level in the conventional sense. There is just the bitstream - the sample value numbers ripped from the CD. At max vol (and no replaygain) all units simply send the numbers. The DAC interprets the numbers. level and replaygain simply alter the value of the numbers. So yes they will be identical level into the same DAC - and the cable is irrelevant. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
This is great!
I realized you were up to something when I saw the thread in the 3rd
party plugins section earlier but I didn't expect something like this.
Really great work, a lot better/more than I expected for an initial
release.
I'm going to create a longer list of enhancement requests (and maybe
some bug reports) a bit later, I just need to use it a bit more first.
Some bugs and other things I noticed immediately:
- Would be great to have a back button on the navigation menu, will
make it more similar to other apps. I realized pretty fast that I have
to be able to slide back but making the title as a back button can't
hurt. I also think it would be a bit user friendly as sliding back
sometimes misses, especially in lists which can be scrolled
vertically.
- There seems to be some issues with the Custom Browse menus regarding
album art that isn't perfect yet, have to investigate a bit more what
differs compared to SqueezePlay and iPeng. I really happy they are
working as good as they are though. The problem I saw was that I got
album cover icons on track level but it showed the default album cover
and not the real one. The standard browse menu track menus doesn't
contain any album cover.
- Is there some way to show current playlist ?
- I'd love to have a portrait mode that showed big album cover and a
bit larger text so it's visible from the couch 2-3 meters away.
Anyway, really great work, it's worth every cent, I'd definitely
recommend this to anyone having an iPad. Just have to decide if I
should give it a 5 or 4 star rating in the AppStore, I think I'll wait
a bit to give you a chance to convince me it's worth a 5 through some
bug fixing and enhancing it even further :-)

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
Very nice! I've been waiting for something like this since the iPad was announced. I find it quite fast and responsive. I've tried it controlling a Receiver, Boom, SB3, and SqueezePlay/Mac, playing from My Music, Pandora, Rhapsody, Slacker, and Radio Paradise. Everything works great. Here are my comments and suggestions so far. I'd like to see the following options: Prevent display sleep when playing. Darker background (perhaps with a texture). The icon looks a little ratty on the iPad screen (the frame border is jagged). I'm also not a fan of lilac, or whatever that light purplish color is that's all over the place. :-) I agree about using a consistent font size in lists, as suggested before. This bugs me on the Controller as well. It would be nice to see the playlist count when relevant (X of YY). In long alphabetized lists it would be handy to be able to jump to a given letter, as you can in the iPhone's iPod app. I agree about providing an arrow for moving back on menus, as suggested before. The backwards swipe is not so obvious because the menu window doesn't move horizontally as you're starting to swipe. I like the behavior of the article window in Reeder, for example, where the window starts to move as you swipe back, but there's also a back arrow if you don't want to swipe at all. I think it would be nice if the control buttons mirrored those of SqueezePlay. Whether or not you do this, it could behave like SqueezePlay and provide buttons for Shuffle and Repeat, except when using Pandora where these buttons are Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down, or when using Slacker where these buttons are Add Favorite and Remove Favorite. SqueezePlay also dims the Next and Shuffle buttons when there's only a single song in the playlist. The little i could go in the bar across the top to make room. This is a real nitpick, but I think it would look better if the control button panel didn't run off the bottom of the screen. The volume slider can be adjusted on a player where the digital output is fixed at 100% (but the slider of course has no effect). And speaking of SqueezePlay again, it has icons for the top-level menu items that perhaps you could use. If you hit search but don't enter anything and then press the button to hide the keyboard, I think the menu should go back instead of forward. I'll certainly vote in any feature polls you post.

Not very complicated. I am probably missing some stuff, I am at work,

to sniff my home network from here. (And, yes, my radio is next to me
at work, but on a different
network where bandwidth is cheaper and since that is on a cable modem,
as is my home system,
the latency is virtually nothing.)
If I was syncing, there would be more complexity keeping track of where
multiple
players were in the output stream, but I'm not at the moment.
The newer players 'mostly' use HTTP with some low level stuff passed
back as slimproto,
(which is documented in the server docs). The stream, however, was
your question, and that is
just HTTP.

From my duet handset I try to access My Apps but get the following message: A mysqueezebox.com account is required for this service.

Ok, the big problem with a computer and high quality audio as I've

results in various kind of interference. Less electronics results in
less risk of interferences between the circuits. I'm no expert at this
so I really don't know what causes the interference but I suspect
things like the power supply unit and any fans or hard drives are good
candidates. I'm guessing it might also be possible to somehow shield
the audio circuits to minimize the risk and high quality audio circuits
are probably better than low quality. I'm sure you are already aware of
most of this and you are probably also aware of that it's not that easy
to design a computer with high quality audio output. Just getting a high
quality sound card is usually not enough.

[slim] What should be in the next version of SqueezePad ?
Now as SqueezePad has been officially released there are sooo many directions on could go for improving the user experience. Of course not everything can be done at the same time in an one-developer-shop, so things must be prioritized. As I'm already very happy with the current set of features, I decided to start a poll to find out what feature would make most of the user-base happy. So take your time and vote for the thing you want me to start at next. MORE IMAGES OF YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION Right now there a different ways to find more images matching your music collection/the current playing song. One of them is the Flickr-App who searches for images and erland's 'Song Info' plugin who does a very good jobs at finding images on Last.FM. I always enjoy watching them on the Radio, but the display there unfortunately is sooo small. Now with the iPad why not browse all these images like in the 'Photos' App ? Fullscreen, with scaling, as a slideshow ... So lets just tap the image of the current song and start such an image viewer ! BETTER PLAYLIST MANAGEMENT While the current/to be released version of SqueezePad has some basic playlist features via the context-menus (all those that logitech provides on their SqueezePlay devices) I guess people heavily using playlist might find the possibilities a bit limited. The lets have a custom playlist editor which optionally appears on the right side (overlaying the 'Now Playing' part of the app until dismissed) where you can reorder tracks with drag and drop or delete single items. If you are in the albums/titles/artists menu on the left one could even think of drag'n'dropping them from left to right (I'm not sure yet how complicated this could get for me). Remember: touching a song already changes the menu or presents the context-menu so I still have to think how to best avoid confusions. SYNCING PLAYERS (VARIATION A) Syncing players is available in the current version of SqueezePad via the default logitech menu. But again: if you do it often, the Logitech way (select a player, sync it to another player, switch to the next player ...) might not be the most comfortable one. So lets improve the popup for choosing players with options to group players with drag'n'drop as you might already know it from another iPhone App for Squeezeboxen. SYNCING PLAYERS (VARIATION B) But is this the right way to do syncing ? Some time ago someone posted the following idea: Why not define named Sync-Groups like 'Party Backyard', 'Party Frontyard' where players are assigned (again with drag and drop). You then can easily activate certain preconfigured Sync-Groups which might be very handy if you often need different Sync-Groups. Players would be allowed to be assigned to multiple Sync-Groups in the configuration by the way. (I'll add the votes of 'Variation A+B' together, to get an overall count for a syncing feature) MYSQUEEZEBOX.COM - INTEGRATION Currently you need a local server for running SqueezePad. Do you want me to add mysqueezebox.com support so that it works also without a local server ? TRACKSTAT RATINGS Never used this feature myself - other Apps have this feature so it might be important. Tell me with your votes ! CACHING OF ALBUM + ARTIST LISTS Like on your real Logitech Devices Album and Artist lists are fetched from the server each time you enter the menu. This might be annoying for large libraries - so why not cache the list (until the server does the next rescan possibly finding new albums/artist). The list could be presented much faster then ! ALBUM ART ONLY SCREEN A screen filled with the cover art of your library. Sorta like the example posted here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=560429postcount=202 BETTER SEARCH Enter a search term and get a combined search for artists/albums/titles. SOMETHING ELSE If you think your most important feature is not in the list, vote here and comment in this thread. If this point gets enough votes I'll start the poll again with different options :D -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
Hi SqueezePad Early Adopters :D I'm very enthusiastic that you seem to like the App and didn't find any severe issues yet. Thanks a lot for all your valueable input that I'll comment on in this posting. In the meantime I set up a bug-tracking system (www.stagessound.de/squeezepad) where you can see progress on different parts and have a preview on fixed issues of the next version. The following issues are fixed in version v1.2.0 already submitted to Apple for review. This typically takes about 10 days currently. - There seems to be some issues with the Custom Browse menus regarding album art that isn't perfect yet, have to investigate a bit more what differs compared to SqueezePlay and iPeng. I really happy they are working as good as they are though. The problem I saw was that I got album cover icons on track level but it showed the default album cover and not the real one. The standard browse menu track menus doesn't contain any album cover. - Is there some way to show current playlist ? - I cant find the current playlist - In long alphabetized lists it would be handy to be able to jump to a given letter, as you can in the iPhone's iPod app. - an Index as scrolling bar, for fast jumping to letters (like iPhone adressbook, a..b..c..d..) I added a playlist menu item in the 'my music' menu. Its the menu you know from the Squeezebox Touch. Also in album and artists menu (and all other that provide index information) you'll get section headers and a ribbon for fast navigation to any place you like. Along with this there will be support for context menu (i.e. for basic playlist management). The context menus also give access to many of the features from erlands plugins. I'll try to address the following issues in a v1.2.1 release. - Would be great to have a back button on the navigation menu, will make it more similar to other apps. I realized pretty fast that I have to be able to slide back but making the title as a back button can't hurt. I also think it would be a bit user friendly as sliding back sometimes misses, especially in lists which can be scrolled vertically. - I agree about providing an arrow for moving back on menus, as suggested before. The backwards swipe is not so obvious because the menu window doesn't move horizontally as you're starting to swipe. I like the behavior of the article window in Reeder, for example, where the window starts to move as you swipe back, but there's also a back arrow if you don't want to swipe at all. - Prevent display sleep when playing. - The volume slider can be adjusted on a player where the digital output is fixed at 100% (but the slider of course has no effect). - If you hit search but don't enter anything and then press the button to hide the keyboard, I think the menu should go back instead of forward. - Spotify plugin browsing is OK, but will not play on any of them. - Did I mention you can't change the alarm volume? I plan to finish this v1.2.1 release first week of august (so in two weeks). Add again 10 days for apples review and if everything works out it will come out around 19th of august. You can watch the progress of this release here: http://www.stagessound.de/squeezepad/roadmap_page.php?version_id=1 Some comments though to the Back Button: I don't want to spoil the interface with too many buttons here and there (yet). I'll implement that tapping the menu-title will go one level up. Along with the swiping (which can be done on the title as well if one gets in trouble with the table scrolling) this should give enough options for easy navigation. The following issues I put in the backlog for later evaluation so that I won't forget these things. All backlog items are tracked here: http://www.stagessound.de/squeezepad/roadmap_page.php?version_id=2 - Not too fond of using different font sizes in lists - kind of disturbs the clean user interface. - I'd love to have a portrait mode that showed big album cover and a bit larger text so it's visible from the couch 2-3 meters away. - Darker background (perhaps with a texture). - Oh - and please lose that gradient background for something solid or greyish (or make it user configurable)... - can i Change the Background in the Future? I would like black (like iPhoto) - I think it would be nice if the control buttons mirrored those of SqueezePlay. Whether or not you do this, it could behave like SqueezePlay and provide buttons for Shuffle and Repeat, except when using Pandora where these buttons are Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down, or when using Slacker where these buttons are Add Favorite and Remove Favorite. SqueezePlay also dims the Next and Shuffle buttons when there's only a single song in the playlist. The little i could go in the bar across the top to make room. Just one further comment: Shuffle + Repeat options are available in the settings-menu already. But having extra icons of course would be a nice to add. For some reasons most

Re: [slim] 1000000 people for static IP support!
Static in my house is not an issue. I have ONE DHCP server. Static is assigned on the SBS server. Everything else works fine since a previous address is the first one requested under DHCP.

Re: [slim] Native client for SqueezeServer?
starcat;563007 Wrote: Is a Celeron 1.6Ghz with 4GB and teamed dual GigE NICs on a full switched Cisco GigE network a slow system? If I am to get more performance I would immediately change to C2D or i5 with 8GB, is that your suggestion? Regarding cover art size, just take a look what iTunes does - would like the same. Everything else with SBS is almost perfect, but forgive me, using a Web interface instead of a local GUI is just, well, very flexible and ok for general mobile access (still prefere iPeng anytime) but nothing, really unusable if you sit in front of a laptop client and try to dig through a very large library just with the web GUI. Not to speak about lib re-organisation, drag-and-drop, playlist management, etc... just really unusable. And yes, I would even pay money for a native client like iTunes that accesses SBS directtly and *not* trough some Ajax, Flash or anything like http. Just my 0.02 for anyone spending his time on development. So, I see iPeng for iPad to some extent as a solution to the native client dilemma, hopefully it will be as instant and full hi-res as the underlying technology allows, but it probably still won't be a full featured native client. Celeron is one of the two rons to avoid. I have dell inspiron 5150 (not one of the rons)with 2.8 core 2. The only disadvantage is they take more power than the current dual core or amd x2 machines. A Celeron at 1.6 (with a single processor) is relatively retarded. It will work quite well with only Vortexbox installed but winders is out of the question.

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
I bought the app today and cannot connect to my squeezebox server. My IP is a local address (10.0.1.11) instead of the typical 192.xxx.xxx.xx and wonder if that's the problem. I'm running Win XPx32 and Squeezeserver 7.5.1 Would really appreciate some help. I can use iPeng just fine (it doesn't even ask for IP addresses, it just finds the players on the network).

I have yet to stubmle accross a device that doesn't have a simple menu to type in the address manually other than the Squeezebox series. Your request isn't unreasonable, but your argument is. Hyperbole doesn't help your cause. Your first point about needing to ssh into ANY of the SB devices is simply wrong. Static IPs are easily set directly on the player menus of SB2, SB3/Classic, and Boom. They are probably settable on SliMP3, SB1, and TP as well, but I don't know for certain. On your latter point, it seems you've never stumbled onto a Palm Pilot or Blackberry. For me the various methods currently available for setting a static IP are perfectly adequate -- even on the SBR, SBC, Radio, and Touch. I can see how some people would want it to be easier, but I can also think of enhancements that I believe deserve higher priority. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80577 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 1000000 people for static IP support!
+1 I have to agree, that it is a major design flaw to not have static ip settings in any ethernet device, should not have passed alpha trails. So it should not even be a bug for it. Having said that, the device where this is really bad is the reciever, net::udap is *not* perfectly adequate for a consumer device . SSH is that perfectly adequate for a consumer device ? maybe for linux and mac users, as you use any terminal for it, for windows user this is not perfectly adequate as you have to install third party software to be able to SSH, for example putty . But SSH it's not hard to do and fulfills another glaring omission in the setup menu available in some products. Namely that you can not simply edit the network-settings as you see fit, you have to reset the device and do the setup wizard again !? This is also an obvious design flaw, this is maybe the real problem as static ip is a special case of this. But really it should be an advanced menu option on a squeezeplay product. But as they missed these self evident things in the design phase ,and now they are with us as bugs, it is so that there is probably 100's off other bugs that's needs more attention than this. Why ? a tinkering user can actually fix static ip settings with some workaround , some of the more serious problems can only be fixed by the developers. But I'm all for real static ip support, as the OP wanted to collects such opinions in this tread.

Doesn't it support static IP's if there isn't a DHCP srver available on
the network?
While I'm not against this there are a lot of other bugs that's more
important and with the limited amount of development resources Logitech
has dedicated to Squeezebox development, it's important to prioritize
the most important bugs. If development resources was unlimited or
there wasn't a workaround, the situation would be different. People
with static IP's knows what they are doing so some additional hassle
should be acceptable.

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
your ip shouldn't be the problem. Please try to contact your server with safari (from the iPad). Does it show the home page if you surf to 10.0.1.11:9000 ? If not check the following: - is your iPad connected via Wifi right now (mine is dropping the WiFi connection every two hours, that's the main reason when I cannot connect). Guess this should improve with the new iPad firmware, which I didn't install yet - if your iPad is connected via 3G I guess it also can't connect to your local server - but you would find it with the safari trick mentioned above. - don't forget to configure the ip together with the port -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

As I wrote in my post, it is perfectly adequate _for_me_. I'm not speaking for others, though I recognize that many want an easier way to set a static IP. If so, they can support/not support this thread as they see fit. From my point of view there are other more pressing bugs and enhancements, such as customization of menus for SP-based players (beyond the simple Home menu options). As erland points out, development resources are finite, and I don't see this one as a priority, especially as there are reasonable workarounds available (especially for anyone with enough know-how to be setting static IPs). -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80577 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
