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).

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. Two issues here: 1. When Squidget finds it is not connected to the server during players retrieval, there is a bug showing no items instead of telling you its not connected. Will fix in coming release. 2. The default player icon is a laptop. This means that when Squidget loses connection, and while re-establishing one, it will default to that icon, allowing you to have a button to press on in the meantime.

New shiny Squidget brings you: Setting of different player per each Squidget (Starting a new widget asks for a player). New framework that enables crash reporting (In the unfortunate event that Squidget crash, a bug report can be sent - I will fix everything I receive so please use it). Fixed a crash when using iPeng remote playing. New icons for iPeng, Controller, Duet, Receiver, Radio and Boom. Cover arts on covers menu were minimized to reduce the need to scroll. Cover art now shows as is (no rescaling - per forum request). Better support tablets and landscape orientation on all dialogs. Indication when Squidget is sleeping (instead of scary sync Android).

No need for screen shots. I believe you. It's just that I have just finished supporting different player for each widget and I forget many of them on different home screens.

Regarding crashes, I just integrated a crash reporting framework. You will be able to report those and I'll be able to avoid them :). Regarding the Squidget service process still there - there is nothing I can do about it. It's an Android documented behavior in which when you signal the system to stop a service, it marks the service as unnecessary, and keeps it until it needs the resources this service claimed again or until an unknown period of time. I can not force the OS to kill it (at least with the permission set I request for Squidget - which I try to keep minimal). I will look into implementing Squidget service differently so that it will use a non persistent service in the near future. Like you, I don't like to see a running service in the application menu.

Henry66;628974 Wrote: It is more likely because I never use these functions and have no interest in them. Some way to look up the function of each button would be useful, IMO. Squidget is an Android widget. Android widgets don't allow you anything except reacting to click event. No long click, sliders, just single click. I thought of setting some sort of manual on Squidget blog, but: a. It is very unlikely that any one will read it. It's either the UI is well thought of, or people won't use it. So if you think the repeat is something you need to look up the function of each button , then I probably need to change it. Would a textual indication work for you? b. Squidget is new and therefore changes every few days (especially the layouts). Once I get these stable for a few weeks, I'll document at least the 4x4 layout. In any case I believe it will probably be read only by people planning to purchase it rather than actual users. c. In general, you can press anything on Squidget with no damage to your music library / server settings. It's read only. So go ahead and press those buttons and see what happens.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Hi, I got several questions in e-mails and PMs regarding resource usage by Squidget. So I thought It is best to clarify it here: Squidget goes into sleep mode (not processing anything or communicating with the server) in the following cases: 1. When your current player is off or paused (That will change a bit soon, when I add player per widget functionality). 2. When you turn the device screen off. In fact it remains idle until you: 1. power / play a player 2. rotate the phone (if your home screen supports it, then sleeps again - I 'm not sure if it actually wakes up - It may depend on the implementation of the Home Launcher) 3. change WiFi state 4. turn the screen on If in these cases it fails to reconnect it will try again 3 times every 3 seconds, then 3 times every 1 minutes, then once an hour. If network bandwidth is an issue - note that the reconnect attempt uses just a few bytes. If you are abroad and roaming to a different network it's probably best to remove Squidget from the home screen. I'm about to add a setting to the configuration to toggle it to connect only over WiFi. There should be no issue of using resources (CPU or battery). You can check it at Menu - Settings -About phone-Battery-Battery use. I believe you won't see Squidget in the list there. I see 2% after a full day of coding and debugging. When I tested battery usage I also tried keeping screen on permanently when playing music. Then I reached 5% battery for Squidget 4-5% WiFi (and also 60% display). I guess however that no one uses a phone like that. This issue is of MAJOR importance to me as it makes the difference between being a usable widget people use daily on their home screen to something people stop using. I appreciate further comments about power usage - especially if you experience any battery drain caused bu Squidget. -- ganjastone Squidget - Android SqueezeBox Widget http://mysquidget.blogspot.com ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 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

I think it's inappropriate to compare two products here, especially products which I believe are not even competing, so I'm trying not to go down that road. Squidget is a widget and the other apps out there are applications. It would be like comparing Apples to Oranges. Squidget is young and fresh, and does not provide some functionality for now (like browsing artists or albums etc. - Instead it provides quick search functionality for the time being). It is being built these days, so any user has plenty of influence on its content, layout ,features and bug fixes priorities (and if you read this forum thread you can see that this is actually happening). Squidget has a lot of different layouts to fit different screens different user needs. It is still not as stable and robust as I want it to be, but I will get there soon. Squidget is intended primarily to replace your IR remote while providing plenty of additional value where other slim apps usually attempt to replace (or in the case of the Logitech app just replicate) Logitech full featured Web interface (A web interface which is not the shiniest star out there IMHO, but thats how people are used to consume SqueezeBox products for a few years, so I cannot blame Logitech). It is however a widget, and as any Android widget: -It is always on and visible in a home screen. In my case its the main home screen, so when I turn the device display on I see it. It is just instant! -You can use it while viewing / using other widgets (If you dont use the gigantic 4x4 version). On one hand, I think its just complementary to any other slim app because: -It still has some missing features functionality -It is a widget and as such will never be able to provide a full application experience (see first thread pages regarding Android widgets limitations). Saying that, most widgets I have been testing are far behind Squidget in terms of interactivity. It's just too complicated. Try Winamp widget for comparison. On the other hand I think its a must have (and thats the main reason I decided to develop it) because at least I feel that in many situations, I just need an instant remote. And I think thats where Squidget Excels. BTW - of those slim apps you mentioned, I personally prefer SqueezeCommander, and had just removed the Logitech thingy today. So for your questions: 1. I truly believe so, but I'm not really objective here, so I guess you will have to figure it out on your own :) 2. I have SqueezeCommander (and I have tried other slim apps), I think anyone with Android who loves his music collection should have SqueezeCommander. Even so, I decided to develope Squidget, and use both constantly. I think that since Squidget is still cheaper than a pack of AAA batteries for your IR remote, it's a no brainer decision. Try it, you won't look for your IR remote again.

One minor issue that you might already know of: on the smaller widget sizes (1x4, 2x4), it's impossible to get to the configuration dialog if there's a problem with the network on an already configured instance. If there's network trouble, pressing the little triangle to get to page 2 gives no response. -- 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
Hi there, I fixed all FC and connectivity issues others and myself encountered. Sorry about these. Also changed back the rating mechanism and layout that irritated many users. Modified 4x4 behavior so that rating is much easier. Many layout improvements on all widgets. Added semi automatic server discovery - still needs improvement, yet it really reduces the time to set up Squidget. Added current player name display on all widgets. Added progress bar to 3x4 3x3 widgets similar to 4x4. As usual all widgets can be displayed in landscape portrait (If you have such a home screen - just make sure to add them when in portrait mode, and then rotate). Enjoy it, Avi PS - next release will probably introduce player per widget (currently if you place few widgets on the home screen - all of them represent the same selected player). The one following it is planned to support playlist drag and drop songs manipulation. Waiting feedback to add new features / functionality, so let me know whats missing. -- ganjastone Squidget - Android SqueezeBox Widget http://mysquidget.blogspot.com ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 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
