Hi Stefan

Squeezepad looks fantastic, will you ever be producing an android
tablet equivilant application? I have my eye on a samsung galaxy tab
for early next year but a swaying factor would be for controlling
Squeezebox players

cheers

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] new features on iPad: SqueezePad 1.8.0 hits the store!

2011-09-04 Thread Ron Olsen

I am running Squeezepad 1.8.2 on a Verizon 3G iPad 2 (iOS 4.3.3), with
SBS 7.6.1 on VortexBox 1.9 (Fedora 14) and have run into the following
problem:

1. Browse by Artist to an artist with more than one album.
2. Long press All Songs.
3. Squeezepad crashes.

I have tried this with iPeng HD and the same actions do not cause a
crash — the context menu is shown.

Hi Ron, 

thanks for the report. I can reproduce the issue, so it's just a matter
of time until a fix will be available.

How important is a fix for you, did you just realize this by chance -
or do you use it more often?

Fix is not that important.

I am going through the artist list, looking for variations in artist
names that need tag correction.
I am using the Playlist Manager plugin, and want to add all songs with
incorrect artist names to the Bad Tags playlist.

This is how I came across the problem. I do not use this feature for
other reasons.

2011-09-02 Thread bluegaspode

version 1.8.2 has been released and improves compatibility with server
version 7.6.x 
- SqueezePad crashed on startup when SB-Server 7.6.0 sometimes created
a corrupt playlist for a player. Now when the server is into this
state, you'll see a message in the playlist window kindly asking you to
upgrade your server to version 7.6.1 where Logitech fixed the problem
- the album view with server 7.6 now again shows the 'empty' cover for
albums without a cover like with previous versions of the server
- SqueezePad now (if available) also renders the 'album artist' tag in
the now playing area like a Squeezebox Touch and the web interface
- improved speed of loading track images in playlist windows when using
7.6 server

2011-08-20 Thread bluegaspode

SqueezePad 1.8.1 has been released to the AppStore.

It fixes two bugs, that only very few users realized at all:

- SqueezePad tried to render big artwork in the context menu, this has
been removed 
- a small number of people upgrading to 1.8.0 might have faced a crash
when opening the player window. This only happened when users had an
advanced networking setup where the server autodetection did not work.

 Did you try what happens to your Touch?

it's a progressive jpg, a png or bmp could crash the server more
easilly.

A linux server with no gui and 1G ram it never swaps and i have SBS in
himem setting, nothing else running.

it works on the Touch art is slow to appear 4 seconds, probably would
have gone unnoticed if my server was not an via C7 .

I have not tried the embedded Tiny server it's unfair the hardware can
not run a server imho.

Your app works with art around 1200-px I think (I have a couple of
those), but the art is a square so unsurprisingly the size grows with a
square function 2800 is a lot bigger.

Do you think 1000*1000 or 1200*1200 is ok

It turned out that the SBRx in question was misbehaving.  When I tried
it ot on my Boom and other SBRx it worked as advertised. Gave the
offending SBRx a kick in the slats and now all three devices can be
transferred back and forth with ease.  Really like your pop-up that
asks what you want connected to where.

For your next release perhaps you could consider the following

When Playlist Modification Mode is set to Always Add To End (i.e.
Party mode) could there still be a dialog that pops up to confirm the
action? Perhaps with Play and Play Next greyed out. I'm finding that
guests randomly add spurious tracks to the playlist without realising
as there is no feedback.

Also may I suggest that one of the play options for an album/playlist
is Shuffle Once. The Spotify app on my phone has this and I find it
really useful. Press this button and the album in question plays
randomly but shuffle is not turned on forever, just this once. When
play is stopped shuffle is cnx.

Oh, and the ability to modify the home menu as per Controller/Touch
would be nice too.

Keep up the good work. Squeezepad is the preferred remote in our

I wished the good ideas were over at some time ;)  
I also already thought about some popups ... some Last.FM beta users
also already reported that some kind of feedback for the love/ban
buttons would be nice.
Need to spend some time to create big versions of all images, I guess
I'll implement something like that at some time.

This is unfortunately not possible (to my knowledge) with the current
SBS architecture. There is no command to shuffle the list once ... and
such an option also wouldn't fit into the popup as there one only
changes the shuffle mode.

I know it works with SoftSqueeze, which support SSH tunneling, but I
didn't think it worked with SqueezePlay based devices since SSH can't
tunnel the UDP broadcast then need for the initial connection if I've
understood it correct.

It doesn't work with any iOS based player, does it ?
Or can you run a SSH tunnel in the background with iOS4 ?

If I remember correctly, I once got it to work via the iPhone using

Well with Squeezboxes remote streaming doesn't work anyway, because you
cannot enter DynDNS URLs.

Personally I only use my Android phone for remote streaming where SSH
tunneling is possible.
On iOS there seems to be 'iSSH' but never tried it myself.
In the AppStore description it says that it support port tunneling.

On iOS OpenVPN is much easier though and some routers support it that I
guess that should be the preferred way.

You did not understand SSL ;)

I agree the solution isn't really secure but SSL doesn't make any sense
in this context.
SSL is host-based so every user would have to get and install his or
her own certificate and I'm not even sure that would work over dyndns.

It's OK to keep neighbors from controlling your music, it will not help
against hackers but SSL would not be any help here either.

VPN tunneling helps.

 You did not understand SSL ;)
 
 I agree the solution isn't really secure but SSL doesn't make any sense
 in this context.
 SSL is host-based so every user would have to get and install his or
 her own certificate and I'm not even sure that would work over dyndns.
 
 It's OK to keep neighbors from controlling your music, it will not help
 against hackers but SSL would not be any help here either.
 
 VPN tunneling helps.
 
 
 
 Why should port 3483 be password protected? It's only outbound anyway
 except for UDP server discovery which - by principle - can't be
 password protected.
 
 OK, and comms setup.
 But you can't do anything with 3483 alone.
 
 Again: The password protection is to have a simple mechanism to keep
 people who are already on your network from fiddling with your players
 and that's what it does.

I'm not up to speed on vpn tunneling even i do it at work with what we
have installed at our work pc's so yes you get a secure tunnel to your
local network that is the optimal solution.

finding software that does it for my server and for example my iPad
would be  something  or maybe router software that does it. I just
haven got hold of enough information to get a clue on where to start
digging for further info.

btw it is not only on your network, i do sometimes portforward the
server outside my network so your all welcome ;) . Here tunneling would
be much better if I manage it, my security is that the server holds
only music files ( that are backed up elsewhere ) and nothing personal
at all. I'll then turn of the router 
ports after a session, however i find spotify very usefull when
travelling nowdays...

Oh sorry to oftopic maybe, I shall make time to test the new release
this weekend, I'm watching movies now, it can not be music all the time
?

the password protection on port 9000 keeps anyone out that didn't sniff
my network/credentials yet (if we trust the http auth from perl as the
gatekeeper). 
As long as I don't use a public hotspot (or my company network ?) to
remote control the server it would be rather difficult for someone to
sniff the traffic and catch my plaintext username+password.

3483 is open for any attempt to take over my server with any error in
the implementation of SlimProto on the serverside. Whoever was
responsible for the SlimProto implementation definitely didn't have
security in his mind. Which makes it quite likely that there will be
flaws.

Hello portscanner, hello buffer overflow, hello my new little SBS army
spam/bot network.

Call me paranoid - my only port to the outside is 22 :)

Hi I can get it crash frequently . And behave very sluggish .

Just use flac files with an unusually large jpeg embedded .

Against better knowledge i created such album yesterday ;)
it is also from a bad scan from paper so it has a lot of grungy
details, which makes it less likely to compress nice 2,816px ×
2,816px
