Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Just a comment from my side. iPeng is still my reference SB control from a functionality perspective. I don't think it has to fear any competition, neither from Squeezepad nor from Logitech. Those are just copying that IMO basic feature set, which is all but user-friendly, especially if your collection approaches a certain size. If you'd ask me. I'd say. No I wouldn't need those social media functions. Probably I'm not in that addressed target group though. Lot's of programming effort and money goes into those from my perspective rather questionable features. What I'd like to see: I hope that we see one day a better consistant (dark) theme on the iPeng interface. I know, that this is ususally said to be a matter of taste. I wouldn't agree at this point. GUI style mix is not considered the most successful strategy for applications to make its users feel well. Yep there's IMO quite some space for improvement. The mix up of blue-white, black screen designs and those old style blue framed pop-ups (taken from 1st generation iPeng I guess), i'd consider all but consistant. I assume you had a chance to look at SqueeezPad, it looks really good and consistant - it just lacks iPeng functionalities. ;) I keep the fingers crossed that you gonna do something about it. Obviously a lot of time goes into programming of new iPeng features, which do not relate to playback and database management anymore. That I consider a pity. Bottom line. I don't think those social media things will keep you in the lead. The wikipedia thing is not bad. Still, fighting the Googles/browsers etc. won't work out on the long run I guess. I find myself using very often the browser to enter the html-based setup dialog of the SB server. Would be great if I could do all that from iPeng. That's what I also consider very useful. I could change plugin parameter settings and advanced settings, asf from inside iPeng. No need to switch apps. Off-topic wish: I'd find it nice if the push2play function of iPeng as it is done on the iPhone would also be made available on the iPad. By pushing the album art from the collection-overview layer to start immediate playback, should also work on the iPad - it could be introduced as a new feature to be activated under settings. (Shouldn't be such a big deal) Anyhow. Keep up the good work. I recommended your App more than once and keep doing it. ;) Cheers -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 2.0 and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Problem: Cannot resolve IP address
Hi, Having a few problems with my current setup and wondered if anyone had any experience with this. Basically, my setup comprises two SB3s accessing the Squeezebox server running on a ReadyNAS duo. Until last Wednesday (the day we moved), the SB3s were wirelessly connected to the ReadyNAS via a Netgear DGN2000 router (the NAS was wirelessly connected to the router via a Buffalo N ethernet bridge). I had BT (ADSL) broadband. Each device took a fixed IP address from the router. Everything worked a treat. Since then, I have moved house and now have a Virgin Media Super Hub. Each device seems to take the fixed IP addresses ok again. I can access the NAS, and the SB3s can play music from the server. However, I cannot access any internet functions (radio, favourites, apps, iPlayer) from the SB3 as I did before. Instead, it sits there trying to connect, and all I get is the error message given in the title. I suspect it's some kind of port problem on the router, but I don't know how I can trace this or what I can do about it. Anyone have any nuggets of adivce?

Lot's of programming effort and money goes into those from my perspective rather questionable features. Well, that kind of depends on the user, doesn't it? I wanted it a lot for the reasons I stated and on facebook I can see that it's indeed being used. What I'd like to see: I hope that we see one day a better consistant (dark) theme on the iPeng interface. Consistent with what? Right now it's consistent with Apple's Apps and Apple's interface guidelines. Dark background may look cooler but it's really bad for the eyes if you have small print. That said: it's coming, I have to develop a dark interface now for the upcoming iPeng redesign and will probably make that an option. I know, that this is ususally said to be a matter of taste. I wouldn't agree at this point. GUI style mix is not considered to be the most successful strategy for applications to make its users feel well. Yep - there's IMO quite some space for improvement. The mix-up of blue-white black screen designs and those old style blue framed pop-ups (taken from 1st generation iPeng I guess), i'd consider all but consistant. With blue pop-ups I assume you mean the context menus? That's actually not old but the newest addition to the interface. The idea is to show the difference between a normal menu and a context menu because they are functionally different. It's an important distinction because in a context menu you can destroy a playlist with a single tap, like in an album menu, which is why these are distinct, too. The dark cs. light scheme is the same one Apple uses:dark means NowPlaying functionality, light means library. The only exception is Settings-Player Settings if you use that. I assume you had a chance to look at SqueeezPad, it looks really good and consistant - it just lacks iPeng functionalities. ;) I keep the fingers crossed that you gonna do something about it. Well, SqueezePad allows itself the luxury of wasting 50% of the screen for visual effects only, it's content area is just a little bit bigger that iPeng for iPhone's. You can of course do that on iPad (and I always said I'm not happy with iPeng for iPad's overall layout) but you can't do it on iPhone. It's easy to make a playlist look the same way as a stored playlist if they are always in different places, you can't mix them up, on a small device you need to create visual clues. Also, regarding the functionality: One of the reasons SqueezePad has a somewhat cleaner design than iPeng is that bluegaspode refuses to add functionality at the price of simplicity. Obviously a lot of time goes into programming of new iPeng features, which do not relate to playback and media-/database management anymore. That I consider a pity. Wikipedia was something like a 1h hack, really not a lot. Facebook and Twitter for me are absolutely playback and media management features because it's for me a way to be finally able to play music I could not play on my Squeezebox at all so far - a growing pain (see my comment above). On library management the situation is simple: I can't do anything more before Squeezebox Server 7.6 is out, the performance for a significant part of iPeng's user base would simply suffer too much. Even now, the things iPeng does in addition to standard Squeezeplay hurt performance and I'm frequently getting complaints to that respect, it's simply not an option. Bottom line. I don't think those social media things will keep you in the lead. The wikipedia idea is not bad. Still, fighting the Googles/browsers and other spezialized apps etc. IMO won't work out on the long run. That would be a pity because it would mean that the Squeezebox will die out because that will be where the music will come from in the long run. Via a web-browser you get to artist homepages, Amazon reviews and asf. in a very flexible way. Yes. But without iPeng you can't actually PLAY that music. It's still an issue for me because two of the most frequently used services among my friends (rd.io and SoundCloud) are not supported at all by the Squeezebox. I do and will keep doing my research-while-listening with my bowsers. Maybe we are different, but I'm not prepared to try to find out for half an hour how I can actually play that link somebody sends me, it has to be faster and if faster means I have to use something else than the Squeezebox this is going to be an issue for my Squeezebox. I've caught myself playing music through AppleTV! Idea: I find myself using very often the browser to enter the html-based setup dialog of the SB server. Would be great if I could do all that from iPeng. That's what I also consider very useful. I could change plugin parameter settings and advanced settings, asf from inside iPeng. No need
Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
No need to defend anything. ;) I guess I spreaded my message. I don't see any arguments from your side which would change my mind. Good to see that you're working on a GUI redesign. On an iPad you don't want to see a boring blue-white PC like surface. You want to see a cool shiny control panel. A mix of squeezepad and ipeng plus a little more coolness or call it innovative control functions. P.S: The tap on album works on the iPhone extremely well for me. I don't see any reason not having it as configurable option on the iPad. I'd really prefer a kind of consistent usability of both programs.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback arrives on iPad: SqueezePad 1.7.0 released
Just wanted to chime in with my appreciation for both the sale you are currently conducting and the quality of your app. Just purchased squeezepad yesterday and spent a good part of the day playing with it. I should start by saying I have had ipeng on my iphone for quite some time now and have used it exclusively to control my squeezebox. It too is a very good app and I considered purchasing it for my ipad also but when I saw your sale I could not resist. Glad I didn't. Both apps have their strengths and I am happy to have one on each device. The speed and simplicity of squeezepad is certainly very much appreciated. Essentially involved zero learning curve for myself and the rest of the family. Within 5 minutes of looking at the app my 10 year old son had mastered it and was rocking the house with his favorite classic rock. One question I have (and I asked of Pippen of ipeng fame also) is a limitation that I think is on Rhapsody's part and not the app but I will ask anyway. I have a great deal of playlists already composed in my Rhapsody library. Is there anyway in squeezepad to take individual songs off those playlists and add them to my queue? Currently I can get the whole list to display but holding down on an individual song does not present the option to do anything with it. I realize I can load the whole playlist and then delete what I don't want to hear but some of my playlists are quite long and removing 50 or 100 songs is quite tedious. Thanks for any help you can give me and once again job well done. I hope a large number of people take advantage of your sale making a well priced app a great priced one. -- gtcharlie gtcharlie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84100 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

But if you have a Squeezebox Touch, why don't you just plug in a USB drive and run the tiny server built into the Touch? -- TiredLegs TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88805 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

They want you to list all your CD and LP titles on the claim?!

DOS prompt (assume you are using windows), navigate to the root of your music collection (i.e. d:\music\albums) type dir *. collection.txt /b /s Creates a text file with the list of albums, again assuming you have them in folders with the album name as the folder name.

Re: [slim] Squeezeboxserver on Linux broken
I have the same problem. Currently, I'm trying out Funduntu Linux, which is based on Fedora 14. (Not the latest Fedora, which is 15.) I downloaded three .rpm packages, all with the same issue. In order: - Latest 7.6 nightly build, -squeezeboxserver-7.6.0-0.1.32741.noarch.rpm- - Latest 7.5 nightly build, -squeezeboxserver-7.5.5-0.1.32671.noarch.rpm- - 'Recommended' download from mysqueezebox.com, *-squeezeboxserver-7.5.5-1.noarch.rpm-* I figure the 'recommended' download is the safest and most stable choice. I usually try the latest SBS version first, however. Just to see where things stand. -I'm curious why the 'recommended' download from the main user page appears to be a newer version than the nightly 7.5 build.- I did not look into this too closely (cannot start the server). I'd appreciate a comment if anyone else noticed this. I'll just find a .deb package for a previous version that works and revert until the bugs can be fixed. Thanks. I might do the same, if I find one on my hard drive. I don't usually dig into the subversion repos just to get a working version. My next move is to boot a different Linux installation and see if that SBS is still working. -- Danny8 #8194; Heh, heh.

Re: [slim] Squeezeboxserver on Linux broken
If you want a working SBS 7.5.5 rpm for Fedora 14, try the VortexBox rpm: http://yum.vortexbox.org/releases/14/i386/RPMS/squeezeboxserver-7.5.5-1.fc14.noarch.rpm Andrew Gillis rebuilt this rpm with working CPAN libraries. It's designed for use on VortexBox, but it should work on other Fedora 14 systems as well. -- Ron Olsen Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Please check whether you are using Perl 5.14. Squeezebox does not work with Perl 5.14. I have had to hold Perl updates on my Archlinux box for some time now.

Thank you, Ron and Pank. My Fuduntu setup has Perl 5.12.3. I'll install the 7.5.5 download Ron suggests. I'm leery of installing Vortexbox itself, but hopefully that download contains just the SBS portion. Again, thanks. I'm curious about the version numbers. I'm probably missing something.

[slim] 7.6 and MusicIP: empty mixes?
Well, I decided I'd try 7.6 yet again. Having learned from the last attempt, I uninstalled the previous version, made sure all caches, conf files, etc. were removed, then installed 7.6. Scanning was... a bit balky. the first time the scanner found only around half the files (25K of 70K). Scanning again find new found the rest of the files. The 'M' mixer icon shows next to tracks, but when I click an 'M' I get an empty MusicIP list. MusicIP was working just fine with 7.5 (and 7.4, etc on down. Any ideas?

Re: [slim] Jailbreak my squeezebox?
erland;641232 Wrote: I'm not sure I understand what you like to accomplish ? Are you having a Touch with a USB drive but want to be able to use it without having an Internet connection/mysqueezebox.com account, or ? Yes, the objective is to use a USB (no external server) with the Touch. Strangely the menus on the Touch give the option of being connected to local -OR- being connected to Mysqueezebox.com but not both. If Touch is connected to Mysqueezebox you can use the remote control function on that site but because the touch is not connected local you can only play internet radio, not the files on the USB. Pretty pointless really. Anyways, I made the invalid assumption that this also applied to the remote app(iphone). This assumption was reinforced by the fact that the remote app was trying to force me to login to Mysqueezebox(why?) and would not see the Touch on the LAN, although it eventually did (see above).
