The volume control seems to change the track! Well in iPeng playback anyway, not tried other players. Maybe is because I haven't upgraded to ios6.

The skip happens when you change the volume fast, yes. That's a bug. Will get fixed in 2.0.1 which is already on the way (but will probably still take more than a week, due to Apple's current review times). Lyrics: are you using SqueezeCenter 7.3.x?

Pippin This is a nice update. I'm using an iPhone 4, still on iOS 5.1.1, and so far I haven't seen any problems. I particularly like the lyrics page - something I've missed on the iPhone version since seeing it on an iPad. I'm sure I'll eventually train my brain not to try and swipe to the other screens in landscape mode :) And the drop down tab to get to the multiplayer control is much more convenient. For some reason I often struggled to swipe sideways off the old version of this screen, but now it's a simple tap to get rid of it, and it's available all the time.

No, you can still restore it within the App for free. Just make sure you purchase it in iPeng for iPhone, not the iPad App because you can only restore it within the same App (and you can install the iPhone version on iPad but not the other way around). Once activated on one device it will work in both Apps. Also make sure to read the part about the discount in the App if you own both iPengs.

Re: [slim] iPeng 2.0 Teaser Thread
Great set of changes - thanks Pippin. The player control is much better now, before I had was sometimes confused as to how to associate players with sources (as for complex reasons I've got multiple servers). Two comments though - I find the fact that some screens are mainly a dark blue/black theme and then the 'Home' screens a very pale blue a little bit jarring. Second, and only a minor ui feature request is that when editing current playlist maybe you should 'grey-out' the trashcan slightly until at least one item has been selected, to direct users?

Re: [slim] iPeng, your iPhone Squeezebox Remote, gets even better with version 2.0!
(iPhone 4/iOS5, here) Same screen size, more features, greater usability: Coolio deserves an extra sardine today. Lyrics in screensaver: great addition (I can expect a new iPad exclusive feature, right? ;)) Perhaps it's not new, but I've just seen the Popup notifications preference. Off, thank you very much. I also tried again the Proximity sensor. It cuts the screen often when I approach my finger to hit a button on the screen. I've set it off again. I've seen one pixel defect: 13767 I didn't use much landscape mode on iPhone. I like very much the new next/prev gesture. If the image would bounce or animate a bit it in response, that would be awesome. Menu browsing in landscape mode: why not. I've seen one defect on the players drawer in landscape mode, perhaps you can reproduce: a. sit the iPhone on a table, upright on one of its longer sides: iPeng turns to landscape mode (ok) b. pull the players drawer handle: it slides to the bottom of the screen (ok) c. now push the iPhone so that it lies flat on the table instead of vertical: the drawer extends beyond the screen, and I can't get the handle back (bad) You can also go from a. to c. and then extend the drawer. It will overflow the same. (BTW, I *love* the stop you've added to the slider to show only play controls in landscape mode. It is redundant when in screensaver in portrait mode, but I am glad you kept the large combo.)

Maybe that's what I add in the next version: if nothing is selected, I open that do you want to clear the whole playlist thingy... or maybe not. That might be too confusing because people might think they always get a confirmation first and tapping select all at the bottom left is the same number of taps to clear your playlist.

It cuts the screen often when I approach my finger to hit a button on the screen. I've set it off again. Yes, that's one of those features where I keep wondering whether I should remove it. The idea was to allow iPeng to run in the foreground so that it's quickly accessible but save some power by turning off the screen if you put it face-down on the table. Now that we've got lock-screen access that might no longer be required. I've seen one pixel defect: 13767 Oh, indeed, didn't catch that one. This looks like a retina screen, is this an iPhone 4S or so on iOS 5? Seems like it gets wrongly positioned in iOS 5, can see it on my iToucg 3G, too, but that's non-retina.

Thanks for the pointer (BTW, I *love* the stop you've added to the slider to show only play controls in landscape mode. It is redundant when in screensaver in portrait mode, but I am glad you kept the large combo.) You can use that in portrait mode in the library as well. You can then fully navigate the App with left- and right swipes even though the top bar is hidden and have permanent access to your player controls. UPDATE: Alert, baby blue on approach! Editing the bottom shortcut buttons brings a metallic light blue top bar#8230; Could you make it plain white instead ? 13768 No. Some of the icons are barely visible, too. I have zero control over that view, though. It always uses the default iPhone header scheme (this is NOT iPeng's blue, but iPhone's grey) and picks whatever text color it thinks was the last one used. Same with the mail composer view.

Osamede wrote: True that the server support needs for 3rd party would have been massive without better software. But ultimately integration into AV/Audio hardware should have been the vision, not selling standalone boxes Put it this way: even 10-15 years ago selling standalone radio tuners was a dead end market. integration had to be the game. And as the previous poster said, at reasonable price point. I'm not so sure the timing of the Fusion Research product offering is an unfortunate coincidence for Fusion Research. Maybe their offering and the cancellation of the SB lineup are related. Consider. Logitech may have had some strategy of unifying their media offerings. At least re-naming the server to LMS suggests that, as does their investment in the Harmony remote control line. The Revue may have been part of a strategy to unify electronics in the living room. Its a logical extension of the idea of peripherals from the PC world to home theater. They apparently lost a great deal of money on their Google TV offering (the Revue) and may have been forced to re-focus and sharpen their product lines to shore up their balance sheet - that is, to cancel their grand vision. At the time they canceled the Revue, I was a bit surprised how bitter their execs sounded (I have a Sony Google TV and think its an OK product) maybe they were bitter because they felt GTV's failure killed the cornerstone of their plan to take over the living room. Its not too hard to imagine a business consultant making the following observations: * The traditional SB devices rely on customer integration of complex systems. This will always be a small market, and with the exception of the Transporter (which wasn't refreshed during its product lifecycle, was it?), a market space with thin margins. * There is some reason to think that sooner or later the traditional SB product line might be overshadowed (in the public's mind) by a device from Apple at least, this would certainly seem like a risk to a consultant. To put it another way, even a profitable niche is a risky place to be. You have to be a substantial player or risk loosing the market. * The SBR is undoubtedly the most popular SB, and could be more popular if simplified. So the strategy might be this: * Re-deploy the traditional SB product line for PROFESSIONAL integration. Logitech doesn't play in this space, which would mean selling support and intellectual property to the likes of Fusion Research is the best way of moving their IP (intellectual property) into this other market space. This could explain why the Fusion devices come out the same month Logitech announced EOS (end of sale) for the traditional SB. * Distance the SBR from the SB lineup and simplify it - hence the UER. The one thing that doesn't make sense is that the Fusion boxes use mysb.com ... they could easily have supported another domain using the same backend s/w and h/w. wuffles's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32915 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96231 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi Pippin - Superb update, I am thoroughly enjoying it, thank you! Quick question: how do you clear the current playlist in v2.0? I believe that before you could click on the trash can and clear the playlist in 1 click, the trashcan was always displayed at the bottom. Now it seems you hit the edit playlist button, select all, click trash can, then hit edit/done again to get out of edit mode - that's 4 clicks. Am I failing to see a better way? Minor suggestion: might it be possible to make it a little more visible when a player is on in the multi-player tab at top/center (and the pull-down screen)?

Yes, I know that's something that got more difficult but it's actually just one tap more (before it was trash-confirm) and I figured it's something rarely used because the only reason I can find for it is when you start a new playlist and then you probably add tracks for quite a while later on.

My designer and me have literally spent MONTHS trying to come up with good solutions for that one. My harddisc is full of failed design approaches. As it turn out, there are three alternatives: * Spend a separate button for Power (independent of the icon) - more space used and more clutter on the NowPlaying screen * Use abstract icons instead of the player artwork - that's what we did in iPeng 1.2 and it turned out that everybody hated it * Use player icons and accept it's a bit hard to tell - the current solution. It's the reason why I resisted for so long to have real player icons for the power buttons (this, and the fact that the volume sliders are now smaller) but it just looks better.

Re: [slim] iPeng, your iPhone Squeezebox Remote, gets even better with version 2.0!
Pippin - Regarding your reply re. the on/off visual indicator: OK, no worries! Didn't realize it was that challenging, certainly not worth the headache, works well as it is! Another thing I noticed regarding on/off: the on players jump to the top of the list on the multi-player screen, and the off ones bump to the bottom. Can't recall if it was like that before or not, my preference would be to make list of players not re-sort based on on/off, so that a particular player is always in the same spot you expect it to be within the list. Again, not a big deal either way. Thanks again, 2.0 is excellent.

pippin wrote: Good point. Actually when testing a few days ago I got confused, too, because I thought just tapping that would clear the whole playlist with a confirmation popup like it was on the old trash icon on the NowPlaying main screen. Maybe that's what I add in the next version: if nothing is selected, I open that do you want to clear the whole playlist thingy... or maybe not. That might be too confusing because people might think they always get a confirmation first and tapping select all at the bottom left is the same number of taps to clear your playlist. So maybe I do indeed just grey it out. I'm confused with the playlist. I don't see any trashcan icon or anything on the playlist screen. I can add or delete songs from the playlist by pressing on songs and using menu. But I'm confused about how I simply clear the playlist completely (or SAVE the playlist with a name). garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96679 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iPeng, your iPhone Squeezebox Remote, gets even better with version 2.0!
That re-ordering is partly caused by the server, partly on purpose. What happens is that the Master in a synced group changes, if at least one player is playing, the master will always be a player powered on. This is independent of iPeng, it's what the server does, but there's also an iPeng-related aspect: if you have a group of syncs players, then outside the NowPlaying screen iPeng will always use he Master for everything you do, so it will be the master's menus being shown (Unlike iPeng's own ones, Squeezebox menus provided by the server are per-player). This is something you barely notice unless you have different App settings for different players but it might still be valuable to know this. So the top player in a group is always the master. The reason why iPeng always uses the master in a group is a bit difficult to explain but it solves a number of issues you can otherwise easily have in a Squeezebox system. For example, I bet that a frequently reported bug where synced players powered up on their own annoying people in other rooms or waking them up, mysteriously disappears when using iPeng :) It's the right thing to do, even if it sounds a bit strange pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96749 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I used the same symbol for the edit mode on the MultiPlayer control back when I still lacked space there. It's supposed to be a re-order rows symbol.

Re: [slim] iPeng, your iPhone Squeezebox Remote, gets even better with version 2.0!
OK, that makes total sense: It has to do with whether the players are synced or not. If I unsync the players, then the sort order seems unaffected by turning a player on/off. The behavior of a master in a sync group helps to exlain it, got it. Thanks again.

Re: [slim] [iPeng Announce] Easier to share, lower price (iPhone)

Just make sure you purchase it in iPeng for iPhone, not the iPad App because you can only restore it within the same App (and you can install the iPhone version on iPad but not the other way around). Once activated on one device it will work in both Apps. Also make sure to read the part about the discount in the App if you own both iPengs. As always: you do of course have to use the same iTunes account on all devices. Thanks for getting back. I couldn't resist a deal, so I bought ipeng for iPad and then went into the iPhone version and bought the discounted playback. So far so good.

Hi, Ipeng 2.0 is presenting a very weird behavior on my device (iphone 4 5.1.1), whenever I slide the volume on now playing screen, ipeng execute actions like restart the song or go to next song and sometimes the numeric volume indication stays on screen. If I change the volume via buttons or the slides on multiplayer control this problem doesn't happen. I'm controlling a squeezebox radio by the way. Previous versions did fine on my device. Any clues?

Re: [slim] [iPeng Announce] Easier to share, lower price (iPhone)
F That's bad. Couldn't you have done this one day earlier? This is an App Store problem, a broken certificate blocking the purchase queue. I implemented a workaround together with Apple four month ago and until yesterday I would have said: update iPeng. The problem TODAY is, that iPeng 2.0 is out which doesn't support your device anymore, Apple dropped the support for the ARM6 processor it uses. You don't happen to have a copy of a newer iPeng version? Now, theoretically this can get fixed with your version of the App, too, you just have to somehow get this stuck certificate cleared. The problem is, it's not stuck in iPeng but the App Store App. For some people, it has helped to log out of the App Store App (on the first tab, bottom of the page), then re-boot the device and log into the App Store again. Usually it eventually fixes itself on its own (usually when Apple cleans out some queues) but that can be between a day and several weeks. I need to figure whether I can somehow provide you with a beta version of some kind for he meantime. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95791 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If it's the same iTunes account, I believe yes. You have to sync it with iTunes to get it into iTunes. ATTENTION: make absolutely sure you don't have a 2.0 in iTunes or it will delete the 1.6.1 So I would A) make sure you delete iPeng in iTunes on your C/Mac (under Apps at the left hand side) B) sync the iPhone with iTunes C) make a backup of iPeng from iTunes. You can just dragamp;drop it out of iTunes D) sync the iPod. That should help. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95791 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What a time to launch a new SqueezeBox based product.
I don't agree at the distance the SBR bit ? It makes no sense to me ? In any squeezebox like system I want syncable integrated whole house audio too, so besides the more advanced unit sitting in or integrated in my main hifi I want smaller devices that could be in other rooms ,including ones with a built in speaker . And it won't help using other devices there ( like UE ) as the system and user interfaces are not the same and they won't sync, or for example use the other players plugin and be able to move my playlist between different rooms... The current Touch is good too as second zone player to with powered speakers and it's analog outs , so that is also a device needed to complete the setup for me . However it would have made more sense to -also- do this of oem licensing to hifi manufacturer if the original Squeezbox range had still been in production they they all nicely complements each other . Comercially it had a small change to work ( untill logitech discontinued the sb range, now it's dead ) if some one made a Transporter mk2 like device . Otherwise I agree with JJZolz here , no sane reciever brand wants this kind of support nightmare integrated . The professional installer market ? Is this a US thing ? In restaurants department stores, airports , shops etc it exist where I live too, but is a very small bussiness in private homes a very small niche compared to the squeezebox niche ? Do people actually pay other people to setup things like a normal home theater reciever ?
