Re: [slim] Announcing iPeng 9 - Support for iPad Multitasking, iPad Pro and more
The other way around. It will start primarily as a player, probably with basic controls like favorites. I plan to add full browsing eventually but it's cumbersome compared to an iPhone. The lack of a touch screen makes for very bad remote controls. Especially for admin stuff. You have no idea how often I have wanted to throw that remote at the next wall when I had to enter all my credentials again through that finicky text input. Try to use a Squeezebox Radio as a remote and you get an idea of how the thing feels. No, the Apple TV NEEDS a remote control, it's not one by itself. Also... There's no background mode on Apple TV so an App has to run in the foreground to be active. Apple plans to use the Apple TV as a hub for HomeKit but that's just using their own, OS-integrated technologies, there not a lot App developers can add on the device itself here. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing iPeng 9 - Support for iPad Multitasking, iPad Pro and more
(Random thought, feel free to disregard) I was thinking of iPeng on the new appletv (although I don't have a tv, only a video projector)... Are you going to give it more the personality of a controller (a la beosound 5), or will it be more of a player? Somehow I feel the physical presence of the large screen + remote + wired networking would allow for a great whole-house controller... Are you finally taking over the complete LMS gui (= including admin) this time ?? 4 SB 3 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld ShairTunes2 by disaster123 Local Player, BBC iPlayer by Triode Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I get the impression that voice control is meant to compensate for the lack of mechanical keyboard for the use-cases that Apple wants to support. Some possibilities come to mind here, although much easier said than done! -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcing iPeng 9 - Support for iPad Multitasking, iPad Pro and more
Yes, search integration is something that will help a bit and I'm going to do that in iOS 9, too. But it's just search and it only works for known data. I'm not even sure adding a whole list of albums is feasible, tracks probably not. But no radio, no remote services, nothing that iPeng presents as a menu, no context menu information and no controls that are not present on the remote, it's still quite a lot that's missing for a proper remote. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcing iPeng 9 - Support for iPad Multitasking, iPad Pro and more
There's another issue with Siri: it only properly works in English. Yes, it supports other languages, too, but the problem is it's not multi-lingual. So if I set it to German and then try to search for an album with an English name I first have to figure out what Siri thinks how a German pronunciation of that title would sound like, And if I set it to English I can no longer find German albums or artists or e.g. Locations (ok, navigation is probably less of an issue on the TV as on the phone). This really restricts Siri's usefulness outside English speaking countries. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
