Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
Bluegaspode and Pippin, your comments about the financial aspects of the app are irrelevant. Who cares what the tax rates are or what other expenses he has? People are buying an app, not a share of his company. How much or how little money he makes is his issue. Businesses fail all the time, just usually not in this way. I'm sure a big part of his starting the project was, like you guys, the challenge/fun of it. But whether it's been a great success or a dud is nobody's concern. The people this guy is screwing are the ones who paid to contribute to his success. I think this guy's disloyalty to the community that supported him is sad.

Writing stuff in the community is fun/marketing/service but it's not part of the business he's doing there.

[slim] Unable to install any Android controller apps
Hi. I've bought a cheap (£70) 7 inch tablet running Android 2.2. In general, I've found it to be a nice little toy and I can surf, check my e-mails, install apps, and that sort of thing without any problems. What I can't seem to do, however, is to install any of the Squeezebox controller apps which is really the reason why I bought it. On the Google Market, I can find the apps but I'm told that This app is incompatible with your Unknown Generic. I guess that this is the price I pay for buying an unbranded tablet. Why does the app show up as being incompatible? Is there any voodoo that I can do to download Squeeze Commander, Logitech or any other controller? I've also tried on SlideMe which shows no compatibility issues for Squeeze Commander but, having never done this before, I don't want to pay for something which might not work. Any suggestions, anyone, please?

This maybe the reason the Boombox was discontinued as more and more stations are changing transmission methods. Hello, Thank you for contacting us to let us know that you're having trouble accessing a stream through TuneIn. The stream that you're trying to access uses a format that's not compatible with your operating system and/or device. You can ask the broadcaster to provide TuneIn with streams that are compatible. We suggest an mp3 stream for digital home products and an AAC stream for mobile users.

Re: [slim] KFI 640 AM Los Angeles
JiminPT, Thanks for sending the enhanced link to KFI. I'm sorry to report, though, that like my own original link, it's non-responsive too. :-( For now, KFI (as well as KNEW) remain streamless. :-( :-( Cez. -- SaharaCez SaharaCez's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50222 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

mherger;661294 Wrote: The so-called scrolling bug on the free app isn't a simple inconvenience, it's debilitating. To be polite, it makes the free app completely useless on some hardware. There doesn't seem to have been an update in 6 months, notwithstanding numerous complaints about it being broken. Please test the pre-release build you can find here: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17528 I'm trying to get this out asap. -- Michael The scrolling function seems to work properly now. I tried it on various screens - Albums, Genres, Playlists, Music Folder, current playlist, all the places where before it was unreadable worked normally. I'm very pleased, it should be quite usable and useful now. (Thanks to Jeff for answering what I guess was a dumb question, on how to install it) I did find one bit of erratic behavior. What I did was to scroll through different listings, as above, and then added various things to the current playlist. I then attempted to save that new current playlist, as a playlist, using the command to do so at the bottom of current playlist. The screen changed properly, but when I touched the input field for the keyboard to appear, the input area at the top started dancing up and down. It disappeared into the upper edge of the display, then dropped down to reappear, then back up, etc. The keyboard didn't move. I was able to enter the new playlist name. When the keyboard was retracted, the dancing stopped. The Playlist was saved in the proper folder on the Win XP PC running SBS. My phone is an HTC Incredible 2. Thank you for your work on this. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You would also see it in the search screen etc.. I'm tempted to still release this build, as at least it does work again on HTC/Gingerbread devices. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17575 -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
Hi Stefan, Congrats on this app it is the most used one I own, just wanted to know if there was a way I can keep service running - I have a damaged android 2.2 phone which I want to setup and leave as a 'cheapy' squeezebox but the timeout means i have to keep activating it. Would be great if there was an option to just keep it running... Thanks again for the best app out there... -- drnackers drnackers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50244 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
