Could you give me more details about the FLAC files that stutter and about the setup? Hi Pippin. The player that supports wma is the 8Player, and I got the free lite version to try from the i-Tunes store. The 8Player plays FLAC without stuttering at all, even over 3G. AND it has just played a WMA track (VBR approx. 304 KBPS) over 3G (wireless off on my iPhone) - just tested it again to make sure! As for the flac file detail, I'll give just one example. Because WMA Lossless wouldn't play from my QNAP server to my SB receiver in the lounge, I converted several hundred WMAL files to FLAC with dbpoweramp. I see a bitrate on this Led Zep track of 941 KBPS (VBR) - sample rate 44.1 kHZ, 16 bit. I have set bitrate limiting to 128 KBPS on the iPhone player with small buffer. Weirdly I just double-checked this again, and the song ran perfectly for about 30 secs before stuttering unlistenably. I quit iPeng, then restarted with the same track 'loaded'. This time it stuttered awfully from the start and barely played at all. Settings as described above. These FLACS are playing from my music folder on a QNAP 212. The LMS package (v7.7.2) on the QNAP was installed from the QPKG centre, so it was packaged for the QNAP if not an official, fully QNAP-supported iteration. At least these FLACS play fine through the hi-fi downstairs. Hope you can shed some light on this for me!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Yes, that makes sense. The QNAP will not be powerful enough to transcode, so bitrate limiting doesn't work. The raw FLAC files can just be played so it works there, too. I would give the PlayWMA plugin a try. DEcoding WMA will require less power than ENcoding mp3 (which is what the server does for bitrate limiting) so it might in fact work. I briefly looked at 8player and let's say I would not be surprised if they just used ffmpeg without caring about the license violation. I don't know that, yet, so please don't assume I'm accusing somebody, they might just as well have bought a license from Microsoft or licensed the patents and implemented their own codec The other alternative could be that your DLNA server is able to transcode the WMA. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and *New: Logitech UE Smart Radio* as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng

And it will play FLAC lossless without stuttering, which iPeng player won't, either. I am streaming on my LAN, and music is on a QNAP 212 NAS. I know I must have a setting wrong SOMEWHERE in LMS 7.7.2 but can't work out where! Or is iPeng player simply not able to play any WMA files? Sorry if there's not enough info here - let me know what else you need from me (if anything).

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Pippin, Just want to say thank you for the good work. I was using ipeng when it was just an plugin for the squeezebox server and when your ipod app first came out, I bought that since the first version. When you first added the playback function, I didn't think that was very useful as I was mainly using the ipod for controlling all my other squeezebox devices. Recently, I found out that Logitech had discontinued the squeezebox line and I can no longer get any squeezebox in my local area or anywhere in the world for a reasonable price. After days of search, I realised that ipeng may be able to turn an ipod into a squeezebox receiver. I then pulled out my old 1st generation ipod and enabled the ipeng playback option. When I connected it through a charging line out cable to my Audiolab amp, the quality is surprisingly good! Sound quality of Flac playback is as good as a mid-level CD player. Better yet, on the server, it appeared as just another squeezebox player that I could control remotely. Now, I no longer need to worry about not able to get another squeezebox hardware. When I need a new player, just get an ipod and pick a nice dock or connection to fit the need. Much more freedom for hardware combination. To me, Logitech had just handed over one of their great product to Apple.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Thanx for this fantastic playback feature! I just activated it a couple of days ago, and it has been mostly reliable. I do have a couple of anomalies to report: 1. It's only happened once, but last night, I was playing back on iPeng for a couple of hours with it docked on a BW Zeppelin. I then went to look at the screen to pause it. The iPeng screen was frozen on the Now Playing screen, but the music was still playing. I could not get any of the controls to respond. So I had to shut down the iPeng by going to the Home Page and basically selecting another app. Restarted iPeng after that and could not get it to play anything although the buttons seemed to be working. I finally just exited iPeng, shut off the iPod, restarted SBS, and everything worked fine. 2. This has happened a few times--after awhile, iPeng will run out of buffer (happens only on FLAC so far). And once it happens, it seems like the only way to stop the constant pausing is to exit iPeng, restart SBS, restart iPeng. 3. The remote control of the Zeppelin seems to control the iPeng volume fine, but the pause/play, forward, and reverse buttons don't work? My iPod Touch is a Gen 2. I also have two wired SB3's on the network. -- M3Rocket M3Rocket's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2652 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I can't. It's a restriction imposed by Apple. An App must not use more than 128 kbps for audio streaming over cellular. I believe it's a legathy thing that dates back to when ATT's network could not handle it but they keep throwing Apps out of the App store for violating the rule.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
The recent updates to iPeng 1.3.2 and iPeng for iPad 1.1.2 bring some improvements to playback, bug fixes and a change to the discount offered for users of both Apps. WHAT HAPPENED TO FREE PLAYBACK? Let's talk about the discount first. When we introduced Playback in iPeng 1.3/1.1, I wanted to give something back to true customers of both iPeng versions. This is not as easy as it sounds since the App Store business model is fixed, discounts are not provided for. Something is either entirely free or has to be sold at full price. So my idea was: Hey, let's give users who own both Apps the Playback for free. Bad idea. To cut a long story short: As it turned out, the only solution we found was too complicated for a lot of users and the lack of a simple capability to transfer the license to other devices (there was a capability, but it was awkward) lead to a lot of disappointment and bad mood. The final stroke then came when Apple objected to this model because it's in a violation of one of their App Store review rules. The rule says, that you may only use App Store mechanisms to unlock additional features. Our interpretation of this (and well, it did pass review) was that this only applies to using other means of SELLING features (so that you can not set up your own In-App-Purchase system) but Apple informed us that it would also apply to unlocking something for free. Now actually a lot of other Apps do that, too, but this is probably a different story. So that was it for free playback. However, if you have enabled this feature in version 1.3.1/1.1 you will not lose it, your free playback will stay active! ENTER DISCOUNTED PLAYBACK However, I'm not willing to give up the discount completely so here's a new try: Discounted Playback. It uses the App Store to make available a discounted (to the equivalent of $1) copy of Playback through the App Store in iPeng for iPhone (it will enable playback for iPeng for iPad, too). Besides having the disadvantage of requiring you to pay 1$ more, it has a few advantages: * It only uses the App Store to unlock a feature so should be compliant to the App Store rules. * Since it uses the App Store it's simple to transfer it to other devices. HOW DOES DISCOUNTED PLAYBACK WORK? Here are the steps you have to follow to purchase and use the discounted playback. 1. Install both iPeng for iPhone and iPeng for iPad on the same iPad. 2. Start both Apps on iPad. 3. Go to iPeng for iPhone(!) on iPad 4. In the Enable Playback dialog, iPeng for iPhone will now offer you to purchase Playback at a discounted rate equivalent to ~1US$ 5. Purchase Playback 6. Playback is now enabled for both Apps on the iPad 7. To transfer the license, open iPeng for iPhone on a different device and press Restore Previous Purchase in the Enable Playback dialog. Do NOT purchase it again, use the Restore Playback button instead. WHAT ELSE HAS CHANGED? OK, so much for the business side of things. There are also some other improvements in these iPeng releases. * New File and Stream formats: iPeng Playback now supports Ogg/Vorbis and PCM (WAV, AIFF). While Ogg/Vorbis is helpful for files in that format and some radio streams that use it, PCM will especially help support some streams that required server-side transcoding. * Bug fixes in Playback and stream handling. BBC streams in AAC format, for example, will now work. * iPeng now limits the bitrate over the cellular network to 128kbps to meet the App Store criteria. * And then this iPeng release fixes a really nasty bug that lead to excessive CPU usage and battery consumption in iPeng, not only with playback. Now, I know a lot of you will be disappointed by the dropping of the free Playback capability. I'm sorry about that but can't change that, I hope you can live with the discount solution, too. If I could start this anew, I'm pretty sure I would no longer try to discount something but just charge the full price. While this, too, would cause some bad mood it would just cause so much less trouble. Cheers!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
I have bought the playback function and wanted to give my brother the possibility to use his old iPhone (pre-3G) as a Squeezebox player on his JBL radio dock. It does work, but the volume level output from the iPhone seems to be at 100% and can't be changed, resulting in unwanted static that can be heard easily. Is there a magic switch or would that function be something for a feature request to be made? LOL: Just aside. When writing the name iPeng I suddenly remembered that BMW will start calling their new electric car series i3 and i8.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
I was too eager with my previous post, sorry. The whole thing is actually an iPod dock that for some reason allows the playback from a pre-3G iPhone, it even says something about the product not being compatible with the iPhone when it is placed in the dock. Since it 'worked' otherwise I didn't bother to mention it before. Anyway, seems this JBL dock is not shielded properly for WiFi, but it sounds crap with an old iPod too, you can even hear the hard disk spinning at low volumes through the speakers.

I initially had the same problem when switching between my local wifi network to using DynDNS on my phone's network. My fix was to kill off my previous iPeng session by a double press on Home Button etc. then restart iPeng from cold. It would then always pick up the phone's network perfectly, were as if I had NOT killed off the previous iPeng session it would never connect via DynDNS. Hope this helps.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Thanks for the playback feature pippin! Just a heads up, there is an app out there called squeezecast with gapless playback, i think its based off of the squeezeslave binary. (sadly this means it inherits its flaws too, i.e. sped up playback on strange frequencies like those found on radio streams) Perhaps a chat with its creator could give you some insight on how to implement gapless playback into ipeng!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
I seem to have trouble playing the BBC (from France). I usually tune to Gilles Peterson in listen again mode over the week-end. I can do it with players other than iPhone or iPeng. When selecting the radio, the app starts playing silence for a few seconds, then resets to pause and 0:00. I've changed settings from direct streaming to proxied streaming, to no avail. I can play other radios, though not every single one (some may have been out of service at the very moment, I only checked with iPeng and iPad side by side, not with a third hardware player.) I was able to play BBC Radio Wales, which is an iPlayer radio.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Could some post a quick summary on how to use iPeng remotely (via 3G or non-LAN WiFi) using a VPN. My Squeezecenter server is on a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. I am using 2GB Time Capsule for wireless connectivity. I also have an WRT-54G running DD-WRT for secondary wireless network serving some Tivos. I will be streaming to an iPhone 4. I guess I'm not that familiar with VPNs, and find this topic a bit confusing. I'm not sure how to set up, or even procure, a VPN suitable for personal use. I looked at the WiTopia service, but this did not seem appropriate as only one subscriber device at a time communicates with their VPN gateway. For this application, both iPhone and Squeezecenter server would simultaneously access the VPN, correct? Thanks.

Been enjoying playback via iPad - many thanks Pippin. I find it's particularly convenient for listening while in the bath.

When I subsequently demonstrated how cool the new app is to my younger daughter by playing Evanescence, the demo was somewhat undermined by the grinning face of Brian Matthews remaining on the screensaver page.

After re-reading Pippin's announcement in the first post of this thread I realise that the switch to MP3 transcoding is NOT part of iPeng, and you have to configure it. I guess some sort of bespoke configuration can be set up so that MP3 and AAC files are not needlessly transcoded, but for my needs the bandwidth limiting feature, which ensures that anything over 128k is transcoded to 128k MP3, seems fine. I experimented further and set up a DynDNS account, so that now my iPhone's VPN connection can reference an unchanging address. I can't get over how cool it is to be able to play music from my home server wherever I am. This VPN option also opens up other possibilities which I'm only now starting to explore - iPeng just gave me the nudge that I needed. For example, I have AirVideo also running on my SBS host, so it should be possible to watch my iTunes movies without syncing them to my iPhone.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Hi, I use Ipeng at home and the playback is great . Everything work fine (managemnt and playback). But when I try to use ipeng remotely (wifi or 3G) but not at home, I can monitor all the players which are at home, have access to my files but the ipad is not recognized as a remote player . Do you have an idea to solve it ?

I don't really need this feature, but it's so cool I just had to buy it. Thanks! Steve. -- SteveEast Home: 3*SB3 (1 dead), 1*Touch, 1*Boom, 4*Radio running 7.5.1 on Acer Aspire easyStore H340 WHS.

What bitrate to you transcode FLAC to mp3 at when streaming over 3g? I am getting a stop and go playback and I suspect it is due to not enough throughput and might benefit by cutting back on the bitrate. -- m1abrams m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
I previously wrote that Pause On Call works for me over 3G but not WIFI on my iPhone 4. I just tried again and now it doesn't work over either. I did install 1.3.1 so I don't know if that made a difference or not. The issue is that when and incoming call ends the currently playing track starts over from the beginning instead of the last timecode is was at before the call was initiated. -- sotie sotie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17277 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Are there any material differences between the two competing playback on ipad systems? I have both Squeezepad and iPeng for iPad. I already enabled playback via Squeezepad. -- browellm Modwright Transporter Kondo M7 Red Wine Signature 70.2 Avantgarde Uno Nano http://www.last.fm/user/browellm browellm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14260 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
