Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
Well, for at least my purposes, I was able to get it to wok fine. What threw me off was that I didnt see the link to install Softsqueeze 3.6 inside SC; and, I had already uninstalled SQ 3.6. However, it appears having my softsqueeze files from a previous installation will still talk to SqueezeCenter. -- mkanet mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50943 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
Before upgrading to SC 7.1, I had uninstall Softsqueeze 3.6... thinking I was would upgrade to a newer version of Softsqueeze that came with SC 7.1 (installing from the settings menu). However, I don't see the option to install it under SC's settings menu. I couldn't find a download URL for Softsqueeze 3.6... only older version. How do I install Softsqueeze 3.6 under SC 7.1 so it's just like all the previous versions of SC/Slimserver? -- mkanet mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50943 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

How do I install Softsqueeze 3.6 under SC 7.1 so it's just like all the previous versions of SC/Slimserver? 3.6 comes included in 7.1 and the webstart link is on the home page under Extras. If you want access to the jar files, then you can find them in HTML/EN/html/softsqueeze Can't say I remember it ever being under settings. When you have no other player, you used to get a link in the current playlist section. There hasn't been an active download site outside of the SC package since before it was renamed to SC. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
There's an option in SC/Slimserver to install Softsqueeze (under player settings). At least there's always been one as far back as I can remember. This would install the latest version of Softsqueeze, creating a Start Menu group, adding the program in Add/remove programs with uninstall information. I'm not sure how to do this anymore. kdf;329581 Wrote: How do I install Softsqueeze 3.6 under SC 7.1 so it's just like all the previous versions of SC/Slimserver? 3.6 comes included in 7.1 and the webstart link is on the home page under Extras.

Since the link was added to the extras menu, I only use that. As I have said before, it's working fine for me. I use it every day. Softsqueeze IS slated to be replaced, but the idea that someone out there is disabling it is misplaced. It isn't officially supported any longer. A version or two from now, there will be no more link from the home page, but I know of now plans to deliberately disable to remove it from the subversion repos. Even if that were to come to pass, it's open source. Install JDK and Ant and you can build it yourself, changing anything you don't like. That part won't change. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
Okay... I finally found what I was looking for. Thanks. Just out of curiosity, in theory... do you think Softsqueeze will break/stop working after it's next generation replacement gets installed? Click to install and run SoftSqueeze. You will notice some delay the first time you run SoftSqueeze due to the need to download the entire SoftSqueeze application. Future uses of the software will only download parts of the application that have been changed, if any, and should start much quicker. You may also be prompted to update your version of Java before SoftSqueeze itself is started. kdf;329587 Wrote: There's an option in SC/Slimserver to install Softsqueeze (under player settings).

Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
Okay... I finally found what I was looking for. Thanks. Just out of curiosity, in theory... do you think Softsqueeze will break/stop working after it's next generation replacement gets installed? It may eventually fall behind on support of some features. It is a player type in SqueezeCenter, same as Squeezebox and Slimp3. SB1 and Slimp3 no longer have firmware development, so at least to that extent, Softsqueeze should still be able to operate as well as those. The bigger problem is likely to be eventual changes in Java that may make the existing code incompatible on systems with newer installs of Java, possibly affecting playback or even the ability to launch. The source will still be available should anyone wish to submit a patch to fix those problems in the future. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
So how does Slim Devices expect for us to test client playback via software? Is there a Softsqueeze version 3.7 we can download? What's the trick to make this work?

Or the roadmap to see which release it is planned to be in. I didn't think Softsqueeze did anything more than use the standard CLI interface, but I've never been so unhappy with the normal Web interface to look under the covers. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
Yeah, I didnt say Duet was unusable.. pardon the analogy, but its like the difference between driving my commute car and decked out sports car. I knew about the thing in development, but I didnt expect they would take out functionality before without having the new one to take it's place. pfarrell;329465 Wrote: mkanet wrote: Sorry, I didn't explain..

SS out of the box still works for me. Plus, if you check bugzilla, you'll notice that there has been some work to relieve users of that misleading warning and allow SS to keep limping along a bit longer. I don't believe anyone has taken out anything. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] softsqueeze incompatible with sc7.1
Ive got the same problem. I found out that using softsqueeze's own buttons (not remot thru controller or web interface of SC) allows for playing - sometimes at least. -- jwka jwka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17426 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50943 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
