Re: [slim] Best android hardware for Squeezebox remote ?
Erland, i understand you like to use and develope for new hardware. I personaly liketo keep you thinking in something: not anyone have the money and like to use and buy new hardware just to use as a remote. A lot of users have old mobile phones and when they get a new their question appear, is what they do with the old one. My personal story was: I did lost my old phone once and at same time my Car navigation system was stolen. I got a HTC touch diamond but for this phone at this time did not exist any squeeze remote. Locuth a C++ developer did not have any squeezebox hardware and not any smartphone but he was loving programming just for fun. He did develope a remote just for fun without any possibility to test it in real live. But it was amazing: his alpha remote was at this time working and was one of the best i ever saw. I did not have any squeezebox hardware at this time and i bought a used Duet and without to see it, i did send it directly to Locuth that he did have more ease to develope his slimcontrol for a beta release. And i thought it is a good idea to send him also my new HTC Diamond for optimize Slimcontrol in the next beta to my phone. After 3 months i got my phone back and i did bought me in this time a SB3 classic so i let Locuth the Duet for further developement. Slimcontrol is still for me one of the best remote solutions because it do not all but is absolute optimised for usability and to be fast. Now the next point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=244 There exist a more than 10 years old mobile the Blue Angel and was possible to get such a phone for just 20 Euros. It is allways sold including a cradle and so is a optimal solution for a remote. And there are plans to transfer this old hardware to FROYO. There exist another HTC old Win Mobile phone with very good instructions how to flash it with Android (HTC Kaiser): http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=376 I did bought a HTC Kaiser last week in Ebay for just 15 Euros and flashed it to Android 3.2 Shure its not the fast one but for to use it as Squeezebox or XBMC or VDR remote its a very good and fast enough solution. Just investment of 15 Euros for a good remote and so i have now in each room such remote. New Windows mobille you can not use C++ for developement as far i know. My idea in yours posting is now somehow to contact locuth or if you like the idea drop me a private message and i contact you with Locuth. What i did found allways in yours plugins, that they need a lot of hardware resources and because i use low powered hardware for NAS or PC they are good but its not a good idea to run your Plugins for such a hardware. Maybee you can do a very best remote with training to programm for low powered hardware. ITS NOT A ATTACK against you, please do not understand me wrong. I am not a programmer, but i see only all the programming you do needs powered hardware. Maybee this can be improved if you are pressed to do something for old hardware with another style of programming with same results. HTC desire is again something with high power hardware. So i keep just the topic: For me a flashed HTC Kaiser is the best Android for the moment because i do not have another. And my measure is a remote should be in this way programmed that this phone works good together. I did test now some Android remote solutions now but no Application run from usability point like Slimcontrol. Maybee after talk with Locuth you share some code and go on with him together to make such a control solution -- arztde arztde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92355 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] HowTo Use LastFM for free with SlimControl and other Developement Ideas for plugin
Arround one year ago i did have a communication with a developer from LastFM stuff. It was a discussion about some Ideas to use LastFM with the Xtreamer and to have an own Internet TV Musik station similar like MTV but specialized to look videos from your favourite scrobbelt music. He did write me: Thanks. I havent tried out Xtreamer, but it looks nice. Ive officially stopped working on my project a couple of years ago, but you can find plenty of articles about it online. Over the years Ive had a couple of requests for integrations with other platforms, so I created an API. Documentation is pretty sparse, but it should be enough to get you started. Youtube + Last.fm API http://api.tv.timbormans.com/ I looked arround and i think its a good idea to focus developers a little bit to this API. In general it seems to me not to much difficult to extract code because for example Locuth (SlimControl developer) use similar methods for the integration of the Lyrics inside the WinMobile remote for Squeezebox. In general i think it should not to much difficult to adapt this API for different use and make it possible to have a free acces to LastFM. -- arztde arztde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Which Product for Second Squeezebox?
Some other ideas: Try the O2 Joggler. There is an integrated speaker inside but you also can use it with active speakers. Some advantage you have a touch screen what is bigger than the SB-Touch so inside the office you can use it also as a photo frame. There was a offer from O2 UK for 50 pounds but now you get it sometimes from ebay and with a little easy change you can install squeezeplay on it. Navigation is the same like the Duet controller. No sometimes you get it in the bay:http://cgi.ebay.de/o2-Joggler-Digital-Photo-frame-Calender-radio-news-text-/260654883962?pt=UK_AudioElectronicsVideo_Video_TelevisionSetTopBoxes I also suggest the SB Classic if you get it.

For the moment i do not care much for any Syabas products or that mpcclub does have some private dissonations with the xtreamer company. But the Squeezeboxserver is running on the Xtreamer NAS eTRAYz was done with help of Flip and he gave this project the name SSOEZ. And we have some success to get squeezeslave running directly on the Xtreamer. For the moment it works and its testet with a USB Soundcard. Not all codecs are working. For example ORG is not working.

another one tries this way for the moment: i forward it just from email with copy and paste. I gave my hardware direct to another developer so not all what are interest for this and do compile or look arround have the hardware :-) Idea is to do it remote... maybee to make it more easy and ralphy get some developer ideas he open a mailinglist at sourceforge. Hopefully he can get for further developement some new helpers. If he have remote access for example to a machine in US than he can solve things like pandora or if in germany he can have a look to lastfm. there some services are free. this machine for now have no alsa for example but the company can compile another firmware. now the stuff from another developer who gave me a mail... - we will check what can be done in our side with alsa. For the Xtreamer it would be great if you/we could design an ALSA driver that would patch the Linux sound output to the sound firmware in the secret corner of the Xtreamer through some kind of mixer/cross-fader. For the eTRAYz, just compiling the generic USB sound driver for ALSA (plus all other stuff needed to support it) should do the trick. I did some more checking of the squeezeslave code and I found that: 1 - the mp3 decoder library (libmad) does not use floating-point arithmetic 2 - FLAC decoder can be built integer-only (code is there, now I have to figure out how it is enabled) So, that leaves me to replace the Ogg/Vorbis decoding to its fixed-point Tremor alternative (not a big task, according to the author) and we're all set to go. Can someone point me to an active Squeezebox server somewhere in Europe so that I can test this modified integer-only version on my native PC later this week? Once I get usable audio on my PC we'll snip out all the audio code and move on to native performance testing on eTRAYz and Xtreamer.

WHOW, and you realy think the change you are happy with this change?
YOU are the first one that announce the switching back from

not so often that someone use both solutions.
The change and testing to 7.4 was very painfull in my case. I did setup
7.4 onmy laptop. and did try first to use it with the software players
first. Special the Squeezeplay Software what should be similar to the
Duet was not working and was not able to connect to the server and
special to mysqueezeboxnetwork.com
Because Locuth use my Duet (in parts for developement) i hope until i
see not less rumors he do not update for some days to 7.4
This cause major problems for compatibility of Slimcontrol because it
is optimised for 7.1-7.33.
The squeezenetwork was not necessary until now, because Locuth do it in
a different way to make the Services (Applications like Last.fm) running
without the Squeezenetwork connection.
Here in fact i see now a problem with 7.4 because there seems a major
change. I can no more use with SlimControl Last.FM advanced features
like i could do before. And they where special more advanced than inside
SB3 possible. It was more easy to find any song and artist than in any
other online libary directly.
As it runs now it needs to sort out how to do best. Maybee a version
1.0 what is announced as stable needs to come in 2 Versions for server
up to 7.3x and another that runs from Version 7.4
Sad this is, so short in front of release date 1.0 of SlimControl to
see such major changes inside the Server.

I sure hope Sebastian continues to improve this program - would love to see it take on iPeng one day in terms of functionality! Sebastians program have another intention as ipeng basicely. Its not the wish to make a Squeezeserver copy to the PDA... Its more designed to have the usability at the first place and the rest have to suborder all. Before 7.4 there was no realy need for a squeezenetwork integration but this needs now to be discussed.

iPhone;465527 Wrote: I think a few people are not thinking before they leap. One does not HAVE to upgrade to SBS 7.4, unless one buys a Radio. SBS 7.4 IS REQUIRED for Radio. Why this is not been told in the announcements very clear in any languages in a understandable way. Its not a shame to have not english as mother language. If i look through the resources the SB3 is no more listed inside the FAQ section of the Logitech resourses. I could browse them from the old Squeezecenter Help link directly. Anyways after i did have damaged my SB3 (3month old) i packed it to send to logitech for repair. The display stay black. 7.3 is working very stable. nothing to concern. Also no problem with the Controler of my Duet. With 7.4 Logitech go the risk to loose a lot of reputation. If they force in this way the 7.4. With the Duet it happen the same this reputation lost in past. No this? In regular i use the hardware together with PDA Slimcontrol. The Duet controler is only more for me just for testing. I think for the moment to force 7.4 as major release and stable is not the best way. Christmass is time enough to make it ready to be stable. Is it realy necessary to make 90 % of happy customers NOW to beta testers for the SB Radio. My idea was to buy one at christmass to put it inside a stable solution without major bugs. There is no need to make me as a beta tester until christmass. The best way to demonstrate somehow stability is to force the developement of the software players. It was allways my argument in front of friends to decide to buy the hardware after intensive testing with the software players. The way is than to buy one SB Modell and use intermediate the software player as intermediate solution for Multiroom until they buy the next SB Modell. -- arztde arztde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Just to stop it. A good solution can be reactivate the old squeezenetwork and stop the automatic firmwareupdate to 7.4. Let the customors of Logitech decide, when they like to change to 7.4.

Aguida;460663 Wrote: Hi Sebastian, I have two comments on the user interface(perhaps it's just me :-) ): 1. I love the cover flow feature and the way you can scroll between covers of the same artist, but I think it is annoying that once you sweep the finger to the left or right the cover does not flow until the next cover is reached. In other words you can scroll only half of the cover. I really see no use for it and often it necessary to have to sweep two or three times in order to flow to the next cover. 2. Also when I scroll to the next cover after the one that is actually playing, I can't do anyhting with it. I think it would be great if pressing and holding the finger on the cover it would pop up a menu allowing to add it to the playlist or replace it. Finally thinking of playlists, is there anyway to clear the playlist? I can only find out how to add more songs but not to clear it. Thanks /Alessandro Your thinking goes as far as i know into the right direction... Give Sebastian the Chance not to produce only one Version and time and patience to interate yours idea. I give you another point. 3. What to do if in the player mode with the turning cover? ;) Brainstorming is goodin this point. I like to see the lyrics of the song for example.But there is enough space on the Back cover side to integrate plugin buttons.

The other side of the Coin is that you can not in all things expect stability or side effects to use the mobile. It happen to me in testing the cache features. :-) But no point than to concern.

You wouldn't need a battery of external drives to do the job, you can install 2 2.5'' drives and 1 3.5'' drive, but I do also have a 3TB soon to be 4.5TB DAS which the C-200 would have access to. Just think, rather than buying a £300+ NAS, you could buy a £240 media and blu ray player, and you could have the best of all worlds... I'm not thinking about using the C-200 to play music, but as a server for my 2 SB's As its so think that SC needs a lot of power of the main processor. Maybee its better to wait for the next generation of Multimediaplayers, when they have arround 1.2 - 1.6 GHZ. You can read in different threads when People change SC from their NAS to a mini PC like EEE-BOX. Its not noisy, take only arround 8.- Euro/Year of Energy if its runs 7/24. I did placed mine in the kitchen and have an additional Squeezeplayer. In fact with a little monitor and cheap boxes like xtreamer you have realy a multimedia solution, what fits your needs. 500 GB harddisk in each and integrate in the network let you things like a NAS forget. In the main room than a solution like transporter and you are in a high definition quality and do not need to make a lots of compromise with quality and navigation of a A110 or a C200. For me i did decide no more to make any compromise just to have all in all in one solution. -- arztde arztde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66276 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Popcorn hour C-200
Well, since you haven't tried the C-200... I did try. But i wouldn't like to tell here the circumstance. It was an early firmware on it and not a final release. So i can say only final release should be better. It's not good performance at all, but it runs. We might look into using the old 6.5.4 with sqlite or so too, anything to get the extra performance - if needed - to make it run. I did say exact this in my first posting here in this thread from technical point... And what does GPL violations and mpd got to do with anything concerning running SqueezeCenter on on the NMT platform? That's totally mixing apples with pears. I agree. Because i know also PCH Mods read inside here :-) was just a sidekick to the things what make sence. To buy a new C200 machine and let SC run to keep it run. Expensive Solution. If you have a C200 and no other possibilities for SC ok, do it. What can make sense is a player for the SC. But here it can not be Open Source, because of Sigmas restrictions. And there's no compromise in audio quality whatsoever. The only thing I can think of is the usability with slow navigation of big media libraries. Sigma Chips are known for not the best Audio Quality. Analog audio output of the A110 is well known. Digital output goes direct through the Sigma chip. I prefer SB3 and Duet Sound Quality You are entitled to your opinion about NMT's, but it will not change the minds of those who will have a C-200 and is looking for a way to serve their Squeezeboxes/Transporters/Duets/whatevers from it - as the original post is about. I beleave your promisses it will be made possible... Somehow. When C200 is available i am awaiting your instalation instruction... If it comes. Ok i must tell others that i personally was never so dissapointet with a product like the A110. I do not own a TV and did bought it because i did beleave of the promises it can play audio via network. But i did beleave in their promisses to make a reasonable audio possible. So i mix to much negative emotions inside this. The best i was done after this i bought a Squeezebox and here i have to say thanks to the PCH forums to make me attention to it. -- arztde arztde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66276 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I know that Sebastian is working at the moment full time for the next version. He focus his developement at the moment to integrate covers. But not only for one Squeezecenter. The topic is to make it possible to run at the same time different Squeezecenters. We did test arround it a little bit and it needs a good cache management. Back to your question. There are 2 possibilitiesto use it as a player on the phone. One is to write a special player what is optimised with Slimcontrol. But this is another project. Itseems Sebastian have this on his todo List. The other possibility is working, but not comfortable now. I did test it a little bit arround with the MORT Player. From Slim Control i did put a Playlist what i like to listenfor. This playlist i can stream to mort player. So it works. In fact open from Mort http://ip-number:9000/stream.mp3 than open in Slimcontrol another player for example your sb-classic and play in synchronisation mode what you like.

I have a little advantage to test a early preversion of SlimControl 0.96 And this maybe is the last one, before it comes to the Version 1.0 IMHO it is ready for Version 1.0 For me it is a difference to buy a IPHONE or a WinMobile Phone. 700.- Euro just for a simple Remote control is to much for my feelings. Ok If you are in front to buy a new phone it is ok. I own as a mobile a HTC touch diamond and Slimcontrol works perfect. But now just to have a Remote Control additional i did bought a Win Mobile just for 27.- Euro in Ebay. It have Win Mobile 2003 on it but its easy to flash it with Win 6.0 So a relation between the to phones is 700.- Euro to 27.- Euro. I think this is an argument somehow. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:ITitem=300325958828 The other argument is that i hope that someone like to make a player for the new Multimediabox Xtreamer.

Re: [slim] Should I buy an iPhone?
Hercules;441804 Wrote: It's about time I got a new phone. I'm trying to decide whether to get an iPhone and would appreciate your thoughts on the iPhone, as well as on my situation. Thank you! My requirements are for a device that: - acts as both a phone and an mp3 player (thereby replacing my current Sony K800i phone and Cowon iAudio 7 mp3 player) - will work well with my private Gmail (but won't need to use my work email) - has a reasonably good GPS that I would be able to use for getting around (including while cycling on-road and off-road) - is a fun gadget :-) My primary concern is whether the use of iTunes will have a detrimental on my well-structured and time-consumingly-tagged music library. I accept that I will need to create a second mirrored music library in mp3 format (as the majority of my music is currently FLAC). I'm concerned that iTunes will start messing around with my music files (i.e. restructure them, change tags, etc.). While in theory that shouldn't be an issue - as it will be a disposable copy library that could be easily recreated - I'd guess that a library that is prone to being reorganised by iTunes would be difficult to synchronise with the main library. I'd prefer to use another application to iTunes but recognise that iTunes has broader benefits that will make it worth using. And maybe I'm being paranoid about iTunes :-) I'd appreciate any thoughts from those of you who have been through similar decisions, as well as general comments on the pros and cons of the iPhone itself. I have to admit the iPhone does look cool and I am tempted:-) I own a HTC Touch Diamond and it have all what you need. Including a nice upgrowing Squeeze Remote Control ... Look here inside the forum for SlimControl and test it. I gave some time Sebastian the developer my HTC phone to optimize SlimControl. Just test it and be surprized. -- arztde arztde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65750 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
