Hi db122 - Just to give you a heads-up, I submitted a log captured when trying to play an album from Rhapsody. Orange Squeeze will let me navigate my library and hit play. On the screen it appears like it is starting to play, but nothing happens on the squeezebox. No errors are reported by Orange Squeeze. Thanks in advance for looking into this. Once this works, I'll never have a reason to fire up squeezecommander :-). Let me know if you need anything else.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Battery drain got much better with the current preview but it's still nowhere near where it was before (I'm now at 2 days with a battery load, still much worse than my iPad while it was batter before given that I don't use the Nexus a lot). This time, the problem seems to be SqueezePlayer, which I set to get automatically started when I start OrangeSqueeze. I set it to power off, would it be possible to shut it down in that state after a few minutes until I re-open OrangeSqueeze? Android is this mixed bag regarding background execution: on the one hand there are so many more things you can do with it compared to iOS but then you also clearly see why Apple doesn't want it. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
As an iPhone 3gs and Nexus 7 user I find myself between two OSs, but increasingly I get frustrated with the limitation of iOs, mostly to do with the lack of back button (ie. difficulty of navigation/continuity between apps). I do wish however that the implementation of back-button functionality was consistent across Android apps. Orange Squeeze implementation works well for me, whereas Tapatalk is horrible. I must spend some time trying to understand how it works but I often find myself in a cul-de-sac (or dead end).

bluegaspode wrote: Could you share a link to the back button discussion? There are a lot, but here's the most recent. http://goo.gl/77Jrh From a usability standpoint I'd say what happens when you press a button must be predictable for the user without studying Android user guides. Which is why it's important that apps adhere to the established guidelines, like using the back button properly and letting people back out of apps without complications. Other Apps are not that easy. I include OrangeSqueeze here. There is also a second use case: when you are deep in the menus one presses the back button multiple times very fast to get to the top (because for new users that's the more common way than to know that one can tap on the top left button) so one can still close the App erroneous. Well, there's the icon in the top-left if you just want to back out to the top. Or the navbar. Some apps activate the up-one-level affordance in the home icon as well (OS doesn't, by design, because we have other ways to go up a level using the navbar). So personally I'd vote for a 'do you really want to quit button' indeed. Fair enough, but I really feel like it's an anachronism that gets in the way for most apps. Games and other exceptions, are, well, the exception. :-) By the way: even Google does it in its navigation App because it's not obvious if the back button leaves the App or gets you back to search there, so you always have an excuse if needed :-) Ugh. :-) db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

pippin wrote: Why would that be the alternative? I like the back button, I just hate that it takes me out of Apps all the times, there is zero reason for that since there _is_ already a button for that. It could still be a back button within the App. If apps never worked together then you would have a 100% valid point, but the truth is sometimes I have four apps in the stack and the back button takes you back to the previous app, seamlessly. This is the power of a very flexible, but yes, ultimately schizophrenic design. Yes, I know, activities... bad excuse, same thing as why Android Apps never rotate well, don't have nice transitions and why nobody seems to want to write real tablet Apps. This is changing in a big way -- the platform has really stabilized a lot (1 1/2 years with the same core SDK) and the tools and critical mass are there to start writing beautiful tablet apps. Just for the life of me I will not understand why such a capable OS and such capable hardware has to have such a horrid overall experience, I'm deeply frustrated with it almost every time I try to use my Nexus but OrangeSqueeze is really standing out, it's a really good App, one of the few I've found so far now if there just was a real tablet version Don't want to do one? There _has_ to be a market, doesn't it? I mean, just everybody seems to have one of these small, cheap, Android tablets now. It comes down to time -- there are bikes to ride, books to read, games to play. Android apps will scale up to tablet better than an iOS app, so there is less incentive. I don't spend all day browsing in Orange Squeeze, I use it about 15 times a day, for about 20 seconds each time.

You'd still need to delve deep into the Squeezebox CLI syntax, however. Check out the Tasker app (or various clones), which lets you do all sorts of fancy things, scripted on an Android device. You want to be able to send an Intent to an Android service with the appropriate parameters at the appropriate time. ohh looks like you give me no choice but try to get into it :) lol .. damn can't believe how lazy I'm ;) Cheers!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Just updated the preview build. We're getting very close. Was hoping to get the final release out before December, since that month doesn't exist for Android 4.2 users, but that's looking less likely. enhancements - Experimental (truly, we have no hardware to test this on) support for device media buttons like play/pause/next track/etc. Let us know. - Addition of service API key on the about screen. This random key is used to protect calls to the public service on your device from malicious apps. defects fixed - Connection will now be dropped automatically when the screen turns off. This should dramatically reduce power consumption when devices are in standby. - Widget will now normally update itself properly when coming out of extended power-off cycle. - Global search screen was incomplete. Headers are now properly displayed, should make for a less confusing display. - Some fixes to soft keyboard handling in the search screen. - Various fixes for Android 2.2 and 2.3 devices. db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

One thing: do you always read the full artwork? You are aware that the server can resize it for you? The thumbnails don't render very well on my Nexus 7 right now. For thumbnails, we use URL's like this whenever possible: http://192.168.0.2:9000/music/6df5a901/cover_128xX_p.jpg In my experience, this doesn't actually return .jpg, but either .jpg, .png, whatever, depending on what format you've got on the server. Once saved locally we render them unscaled. Is it album artwork, radio artwork, or what? For some artwork (like remote thumbnails from MOG), we load the thumbnails from the remote server (a non-Logitech server) and scale locally. Because some of the images are *huge* coming inbound from the network, we resample first at ~double the desired resolution to avoid overflowing the device heap (pretty easy to do), then scale the resulting image to our exact requirements. db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
OK, finally need to give a bit of feedback on OrangeSqueeze as well since I've been using the preview a bit, too, recently. I actually really like it, I have to admit that I start to prefer it to SqueezeCommander (SqueezeCommander keeps confusing me in places where it looks like iPeng used to but behaves differently) but there are a few things that keep confusing me: - Did I miss a shortcut to get to that screen where you have all the players and their volume? I use that a lot in iPeng and it's similar in OrangeSqueeze, something I really like but when I use that it's _always_ because I just want to quickly change some volume or sync grouping while I'm browsing the library and it's a nuisance that I then have to start off again. Actually I catch myself grabbing my iPhone just to adjust volume/sync because I don't want to lose the menu I'm in. Did I miss something? It would be really good to be able to change a player state without having to re-start from the root level of the menu tree. - There is one thing I absolutely hate and that's the synchronization. I _always_ get the direction wrong and then delete the playlist I want to sync to another player. That should get more intuitive or at least show an indication of what's going to happen. - I love that globalsearch screen you get from the top right and I love the option to automatically expand a service but when I do that with one or two submenu levels (e.g. with Spotify) it gets completely confusing and it's almost impossible to figure out what is what on this screen. It would be good if there could be more indentation or different colors or something else that shows me on which level in the menu hierarchy some item is supposed to be. Actually I have the same issue with the other Search menu: ut's very hard to figure out where one category ends and the next one starts, the triangle at the right hand side is about the only indication. - The hardware buttons don't work on 4.2 but then 4.2 is a big mess anyway, maybe 4.2.1 will fix that for you. - It would be good if the keyboard would automatically close when you move from the search screen to another screen where there is no entry field. And then there is another issue that you might have an answer to, maybe I'm just missing something but I have this problem actually with almost _all_ Android Apps (I'm using a Nexus 7): The back button either moves up one level in a menu hierarchy or leaves the App but I haven't figured out a way (other than remembering it) to figure out whether I'm on the top level of a menu or in some submenu so I keep leaving Apps all the time when I actually don't want to. Tapatalk and Twitter are worst here but it's frequently happening to me in OrangeSqueeze, too. Coming from iOs this behavior is something I'm not used to and actually I find it a bit useless since after all there _is_ another button for that, the center one, could it be suppressed? pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'll definitely take it to heart. I did take a stab at a couple of the polish-related issues you raised, so check out the next preview (or final release, as it may be). As to your issues with the Android back button -- well, you're not alone, but in my opinion, the alternative (the lack of a back button) is far worse. Granted, you can get into some situations where the backstack gets out of control (facebook app is crazy sometimes), but I think Orange Squeeze walks a line once you get used to it. In general the icon in the upper right takes you to the browse screen no matter where you are, and resets the backstack at the same time. Most other things preserve the backstack. It's interesting that the issue of confirming with a user whether or not to quit the app is raised. First, on Android there is no quitting the app. Relaunching it brings you right back where you left off most of the time automatically, but this issue just came up on the Android developers group just in the last couple days, and a rookie developer was shunned out of the room for asking how to implement a confirmation like that. It's simply considered bad form on Android. There is a lot of discussion about this on why and how and whatever, plenty of data to find if you're interested.

... someone is using the most current Orange Squeeze preview (from last night), has a Samsung GT-I9000 (International Galaxy S, I believe) running Android 4.1.2. You've had a bunch of crash submissions when the app launches, I believe. The error is actually an I/O error, indicating you might have some fault flash memory or corruption on your OS partition. So, if you are by chance this user, you might contact me and we could try to solve the problem by wiping the app data or reinstalling the app, but you may have a bigger problem. I just don't want you to attribute the error exclusively to Orange Squeeze, although I suspect that you might be having problems with a bunch of apps.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Could you share a link to the back button discussion? From a usability standpoint I'd say what happens when you press a button must be predictable for the user without studying Android user guides. With simple Apps it is no problem to realize if you are at the root of the activity stack. I never have a problem with Tapatalk for instance as it just has three levels of navigation and not individual hierarchies. Other Apps are not that easy. I include OrangeSqueeze here. There is also a second use case: when you are deep in the menus one presses the back button multiple times very fast to get to the top (because for new users that's the more common way than to know that one can tap on the top left button) so one can still close the App erroneous. And even if technically the App is not closed, in the user perception it is. So personally I'd vote for a 'do you really want to quit button' indeed. By the way: even Google does it in its navigation App because it's not obvious if the back button leaves the App or gets you back to search there, so you always have an excuse if needed :-) By the way #2: I really miss a dedicated back button on iOS in the meantime. Sometime leaving the App on error and having to restart is much better than always searching the screen for a back button. I start to tap the Home button now on error on iOS so I guess the OS that you have installed on your main smartphone heavily influences what pattern one gets used to most. Switching between iOS and Android often definitely is a pain due to the subtle differences everywhere (and if it's just different keyboard layouts and treatment of special keys) bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

While looking all the same, sometimes back gets you to the account selection screen, sometimes you leave the App. That's what keeps confusing me. And that it's different than Tapatalk on iOS There is also a second use case: when you are deep in the menus one presses the back button multiple times very fast to get to the top (because for new users that's the more common way than to know that one can tap on the top left button) so one can still close the App erroneous. Yep. That's _exactly_ where I usually run into trouble. By the way #2: I really miss a dedicated back button on iOS in the meantime. Also agreed. Especially on iPhone 5 where it's so hard to reach the one in the navigation bar. Sometime leaving the App on error and having to restart is much better than always searching the screen for a back button. Um. Now _that_'s one thing I don't understand. Usually, on iOS it's a common UI scheme that the back button is on the top left of the screen or the window in which your content is. It's in Apple's UI guidelines and standard navigation controller.

Hi;
when I used Orange Squeeze, I had the problem that in the pop-up
windows, no text was visible.
(When I tapped on the area of the non-visible Text, the related funktion
was activated. So it is really only the text that is missing...)
What do I mean by pop-up w?
For example in the Player menue: When I tab on the little triangle on
the right side for one of the players, a context menue pops up (the pop
up window).
That window has a head line listing the player ('On: xyz-Playername')
and underneath there are lines, subdividing tasks - but no text is
visible for me. But when I tab the 1st, the synchronize options appear
(with all text visible).
On the last line, a faint small 'zzz' is visible - no further text,
leading to the snooze option
Am I really the only one having this issue??
Note: I am running OZ on an e-ink (bw) device - a rooted BarnesNoble
Nook Touch running Android 2.1.
Is there a way to fix this?

You probably are one of the very few running the app on a black and
white device. Surely there is a way to fix it, but it may be a bit of
guessing how to work around the issue because I have no way to test how
the colors and device default themes interact. I suspect the root
problem is actually in the default device theme used -- the default text
color used in the action menu is the same (or nearly the same -- with a
black and white device there aren't too many options) as the default
background color.
I wil think about how to best solve this.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Hi everyone, I'm new here and just installed Orange Squeeze. Thanks for great app! It seems to be faster to use and more intuitive then squeeze commander which I've been using for a while. However there is one important feature I can't find in Orange: How do I switch/change player to different server/ library? I can change servers but can't find how to move client/player from one server to another.. I'm sure i'm missing smth obvious somewhere O_o... Thank you!

I'm sure i'm missing smth obvious somewhere O_o... You probably aren't missing anything obvious. Some of this was added in the 1.3.0 preview, which you can install for free from Google Play. Well, at least as long as you are moving between squeezenetwork/mysqueezebox.com and your local server. If you are moving between different local servers (why?) then the app doesn't do that. Explain why you're doing this on a regular basis, and I might consider spending time on implementing that (priorities, right?) but I think most people alternate between SN and their local server exclusively.

Thank you for extra quick replay! awesome! :) db122 wrote: Explain why you're doing this on a regular basis, and I might consider spending time on implementing that (priorities, right?) but I think most people alternate between SN and their local server exclusively. Basically I use: 1. LMS on my NAS as my main MUSIC library/collection of FLAC's and MP3's 2. LSM Lite (I think its called) on USB plugged to one of my touches as secondary library Mainly used for educational music materials like - play-along's/lessons for bass/drums/piano/etc and other audio which is not really suitable for main music library and generally only used in music room. However I also use music room touch with main library for purely listening purposes eg. if she wants to listen smth else on main setup. :) I was able to jump servers using SqueezeCommander, but I can see now its rather obscure option.. I guess priority-wise it goes right down to bottom of your list ( if not straight to bin ;) ) I believe my setup might be interesting for people who want separate libraries: husband/wife/kids etc, in which case this feature would be required.. 32GB USB stick and LSM Lite seems to be working quite well in my setup... I know its advisable to only connect up to 3 players to LSM Lite, but in my case that's not a problem.. hmm. Perhaps you know better ways of creating multi library/server system? Anyway it's not massive problem to use SqueezeCommander when required and Orange Squeeze for everything else. Just it would be nice to have everything covered in one app. Once again thanks for your work, great stuff! Cheers!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
So, I have to edit my own reply. I was a bit mistaken, and some things do work better in Orange Squeeze Preview than I had remembered. Heck, if I can't keep it straight :-) If you are on a server, you can pull visible players (servers on the same subnet communicate this) to your current server. The players show up at the bottom as Players on other servers. You can only push a player to mysqueezebox.com, however. So, in short, to move a player to another server, connect to that server and pull it over. Two-step process, but reasonable I think? db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Hi I have the same problem as Castalla. The newest version worked fine a few times (I really don't remember if it only worked one time). But now it wont connect to the server, it seems to be connected, there is no wheel turning and if I look at the switch server setting it says it is connected. Then I killed the new version and started the old version 1.2.9, and this version is working fine, it connects without problems. (And all these problems have nothing to do with my previously reported wifi problems, as the wifi was working fine in the present experiment). I will send you a logcat file recorded during the above mentioned experiment. So in the first part of the logcat file, I have started Orange 1.3.0 (newest version) and tried to connect to my server (called Voyage) - as it did not connect, I killed orange 1.3.0, and started 1.2.9 wich connected fine to my server Voyage. Hope you can see something in the logcat file.

Hi just tried the new version, still the same problem, that Orange does not restart wifi, if the smartphone was been idle for some time. It is a Samsung galaxy I9100 with Android 4.0.4. what happens is that the wifi symbol disapears from top ribbon on the Android - you know the place where you can se the battery status, 3g status etc. However, when I pull down the screen from the top, the wifi icon is still green. If I press the icon (top stop the wifi) and press again to enable it - the wifi icon re-appear next to the battery indicator and Orange can find the wifi. So it seems like Samsung put the wifi into sleep, when left unused for a long time, and Orange is not able to re-enable the wifi.

I will say that if the wifi icon is not 100% enabled (i.e. not in the top bar) then there may be a bug in the phone operating system rather than Orange Squeeze. It would be interesting to see the logs when this occurs, so with new new preview release, enable verbose logging and then when you run into the problem, use an app like CatLog to send the results to me.

I have the same (or very similar) issue with 1.2.9. I can get it to start working again by either switching WiFi off and on manually or by restarting Orange Squeeze. Same hardware and version of Android as previous poster.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Released a new preview build, lots of stuff: - Ability to download tracks from many browse hierarchies to your device (Android 2.3/Gingerbread devices and higher). Supports downloading by folder, artist, album, year (including most custom browse variations). - Visual styling updates - Android 4.2/Jellybean and higher devices can now add a widget to the lock screen. - Everyone gets a new larger widget, in addition to the existing small one - Android 4.1/Jellybean and higher devices can now submit log data directly from Advanced Preferences. Defects fixed: - Missing ability to pin items to home (top-level) menu. - Now Playing screen artist is now the track artist, which brings it in sync with the web interface and other Jive-based clients (Trac issue #69). - last.fm did not properly show thumbs up/thumbs down - Previous track button was not going to beginning of track on initial press - When connecting to a server that has just been woken up, send subsequent pings sooner to speed up connection process. - Preference to disable automatic crash reporting was not working. - When a local SqueezePlayer was running, some or all other players would be hidden in the player list. - Icons missing for Random Play context menu items - Widgets did not correctly display thumbs up/down when appropriate. - Lots of other widget bug fixes and cleanups db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Hi I'm using the latest 1.30 version, and I really like it. BUT I have one problem, if my android has gone sleeping while I'm using Orange to control my Duet (I don't use my android as a player) then it often can't start the Wifi up. I continues showing the round circle. I need to turn off wifi and the turn it on again before Orange can use the wifi. I have a Samsung SII GT-I9100 with android 4.0.4 sbp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
