Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Two issues: 1. When Squidget is displaying the Player sleeping, touch sleeper to wake him up (from memory, I guess it's not the exact wording), I alway have big troubles waking it up. The widget is completely unresponsive, although I touch all the controls. The only way to make it active again is to touch the settings button, and even then it can often take several seconds before there's any reaction. Pressing Test on the settings dialog and then save, thereby confirming my old settings, gets the widget back to active. If it takes time to come back from sleep, it would be good if it displayed some sort of Waking up, please wait notification as soon as it is touched. 2. There is a slight usability issue with the search dialog, in my opinion. There's somethng wrong with using the input field for the search term, and then filling it with the result of pressing one of the search results. I don't know exactly how to fix this, but perhaps the search field could indicate that it is no long editable after one has selected an item from the proposal list, and then there could be a button for new search or something similar? -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86993 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
I see some weirdness with regard to the player list. Sporadically, when I press the player icon, Squidget reports No items to display instead of the player list. If I immediately press the player button again, it usually finds and displays the players. This has happened 3-4 times during the last couple of days. Last night, when I turned to Squidget, it was displaying a laptop as a player icon, although I only had a few regular Squeezeboxes of various types connected to the server (i.e. no iPeng or Squeezeplayer). When I pressed the player icon, it reported No items to display. When I pressed it again, I could choose among the connected players. I started Squeezecommander to search for a song and started playing it. When I then went back to Squidget, it was again displaying the laptop icon. Unfortunately I didn't think of looking at what player name Squidget was displaying at the time. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86993 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Loving this widgets, it's great! Some cotmments: * When I listen to Internet radio, it seems that Squidget is requesting an update to the album art every second or so. I get a small work in progress circle flashing every second. A bit annoying. I don't see it when I play music from my library. * I find the buttons that are visible on the 2x4 widget to be the once I use, and I actually want the other buttons to be less accessible, just as it is. I do have screen space to spare, however, so I would like to use a 4x4 layout with the same number of buttons. In particular, I don't use the favorite, star or facebook buttons at all, and would prefer that they not be there at all. * I can't find any way of seeing to which player I'm connected, without pressing the the player icon and getting the lists of players. It would be great if the current player was instantly visible somehow. * The Squidget button really doesn't add any value to the user, does it, apart from showing the about box.

Re: [slim] Switch Squeezeboxes on/off from another Squeezebox?
There really is a gap in functionality here. I can't understand why the Logitech developers haven't made it possible to turn off another unit w/o having to install a 3rd party plugin. OtherPlayers is a great plugin, and I've used it for several years on my Boom and Classic, but it shouldn't be needed, IMHO, with the new Touch and Radio. Hopefully the functionality will be added. Furthermore, with OtherPlayers you cannot control the volume of the other boxes from a Touch or Radio (although it works on the Classic and Boom), which means that you have to use the non-plugin way to change the volume on another box, but OtherPlayers to turn it on or off, which is not very intuitive. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79226 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Mitt eget intresse för OPML beror på att jag lyssnar på er webbradio och poddcasts via en Squeezebox (http://www.slimdevices.com/), och skulle ni lägga ut ert utbud som OPML-filer skulle jag kunna importera en sådan fil, och inte behöva lägga in kanaler och podcasts en och en. Jag skulle slippa hålla reda på att jag har en uppdaterad version av alla kanaler och poddcasts. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44590 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Bug: Settings don't stick in Opera
I think I found the problem: Opera doesn't seem to save cookies for raw ip addresses. I usually connect to the (private) ip address of my SC: http://192.168.1.8:9000. After checking all the settings in Opera, and restarting a couple of times, I noticed that all the cookies set by SC were lost on every restart. I changed the address to the local name of the SC server: http://august:9000, and now the cookies last over a restart. Go figure. So I suppose this puts it down to a Opera bug (or feature?). -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44387 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Bug: Settings don't stick in Opera
I have been using Opera for accessing SC for a while now, due to the bug which makes Firefox hog all the CPU when displaying SC. I have noticed an annoying problem: when using Opera, some visual settings disappear every time you restart the browser, settings which are saved when using Firefox. More specifically, I am talking about the settings for showing and sorting albums (the little menu in the left hand corner where you can choose Text only, Small Artwork, Sort by... etc), and whether or not you want to display artwork in the playlist (the menu in the bottom right, with alternatives Hide Artwork, Show Artwork). It's a bit of a pain having to adjust these everytime I start the browser. And I am still longing for the day when I can return to Firefox... -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44387 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Fun with SBC remote buttons?
I just realized that there are at least two buttons on my Squeezebox Classic remote that I never press: Favorites and Brightness. This basically means that I have two buttons I could map to something more useful (for me, that is, I'm not denying the potential usefulness of these buttons for other people). I was thinking along the lines of perhaps make the buttons jump directly to Podcasts or AlienBBC, but then I thought: surely people have done this before me? So that's my question: what are your best ideas for remapping buttons that you don't need? -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44287 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Single artists in artist list when album artist set
I have several albums (encoded to flac) with the following pattern: Track: Artist: Track01Artist A Track02Artist A Track03Artist A Artist B Track04Artist A Track05Artist A ... To make this album show up as an album for Artist A, I have set ALBUMARTIST to Artist A, and set COMPILATION=0, which works well. However, I also have set the Group compilation albums together to avoid artists with only one or a few songs to clutter the artist list. But with the above scheme, Artist A Artist B shows up in the artist list! Is this a known bug? And is there a possible work around?

Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
kdf;200724 Wrote: As would a cursory search of bugzilla, as suggested on the front page. Even just the word composer would have done it. If you think it's too much time to do that, then maybe you'll have some idea why the other side of it might be a touch too busy to read 300 posts a day. It's not a battle, just an attempt to spread some awareness. -kdf I have debated with myself for a couple of hours whether I should reply to this or not. Let me first state that I have no intention of starting a flame war. Squeezebox and Slimserver seem to be terrific products that I am in the process of learning how to use to the best effect. Moreover, the large community of experienced users greatly adds to the attraction. I can also see that kdf is one of the more active and helpful people here. I also realize that I have made (at least) three mistakes in reporting this bug: * I should have put my initial post in the Bugs forum, that would probably have been more visible to the Slimdevices engineers. The reason why I didn't was that it wasn't entirely clear to me that this was a bug. The number of options for displaying artists is quite great, and I didn't know if I had set some option the wrong way. * I should have realized that 6.5.2 is indeed in beta. I didn't, until recently. I just picked up the deb version which seemed most recent, when I configured my new system a couple of weeks ago. * I should of course have checked for previous bug reports on this issue. The reason why I didn't was that during the three weeks since my initial post, noone had suggested that this was a known issue. When I wrote my first post, I didn't even know there was a public bug report system. BUT, if I now have stated what I have learned from this, let me also say this: The initial reports in both these threads were made by people who obviously had put some effort into the issue: both Ur[s]uS and myself included quite a lot of information in our posts, trying to outline what we hade done to explore the problem. Neither one got any reply indicating that this was a known issue, although the first bug report was filed three weeks ago. When I then (quite politely, IMHO) complained about this lack of response in these forums, which supposedly is the main way of providing support to users, I was met with insults by a senior member. My only observation is that if users reporting issues in these forums first are ignored, then insulted, SlimDevices do have a problem, whether or not people here feel it is appropriate. Not every (potential) user of Slimdevices' products can be expected to know what it means to file a bug report, or even ask questions in the right way. That even moderately knowledgeable users like myself fail to get help is not good for Slimdevices, even if I made some mistakes in reporting this issue. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
Now I have worked out what causes this problem: it is indeed the Composer tag in the files which makes Slimserver not display these albums under their respective artist. This is what happens: if any file in an album is tagged with a Composer which is the same as the Artist, the album does not show up when browsing by artist. The album shows up under All albums, and also by searching the the artist. Unless someone can explain why this bizarre behavior is intended, I will file this as a bug. Although it is easy for me to remove the Composer tag from my music, I think it is fair that one should be able to have the tag set without the album disappearing from the listings. Again, this is on a recently updated 6.5.2 on Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. 6.5.1 on Windows does not exhibit the same problem. It does not have anything to do with encodings, as far as I can tell. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
Am I really the only one being hit by this? It sure seems like a pretty bad bug to me. I have done some more experimenting. First of all, I have made sure that all mp3-tags are ID3v2.3, saved in iso-8859-1. I have also toggled all possible settings regarding the grouping of songs in compilation albums, although I don't think this problem has anything to do with that. Now I have limited my collection to four files, two mp3-files and two flac-files. The mp3-files belong to two different albums by David Sandström, the flac-files belong to two different albums by Jacques Brel. After a wipe and rescan, SS reports Your music library contains 4 albums with 4 songs by 2 artists. So far so good. If I brows by album (Browse - Album in the web interface) I see all four albums. The same if I browse by Artists, and then select All Albums. BUT: when I browse by Artists, and then select either one of the two artists, only one album each is listed, although it should be two for each artist. So, to recapitulate: SS is well aware of there being four albums, I can reach them through browsing on albums, or through searching, but if I go through the individual artist, only one album is displayed. This is still SS 6.5.2 on Kubuntu, upgraded through apt-get this evening. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
Yes, it is repeatable in the sense that these are not the only artists for which the problem shows up. But it does not happen for every artist with more than one album. Quickly looking through some folders, I found more examples: Les Negresses Vertes Famille Nombreuse (shown) Mlah (not shown) Manu Chao Clandestino (shown) Proxima Estacion Esperanza (shown) Radio Bemba Sound System (not shown) I understand the problem with different encodings, but as you can see above and from earlier examples, it's not really the names that do have non-ascii characters that don't show up, so I don't really think this is the problem. And furthermore, if it were an encoding problem, I guess I shouldn't be able to find the albums through search. To me, it seems as though SS finds the files and knows to which artists/albums they belong, but that there is a problem in the display by artist-codde. This worked on 6.5.1 on Windows. It's when I switched to Ubuntu and then got 6.5.2 through apt that the problem showed up. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
