It's usually the other way around. Instead, I would recommend opening your server's settings and going to the audio settings for your SB Player (the app will need to be connected for you to see the page), then setting crossfade to "Fade in and Fade out". If you then set a short duration for the fade, it should simulate a gap. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98049 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Squeeze Ctrl is a Windows UWP app and UWP apps are not allowed to run in the background. On a desktop PC, running in the background means minimizing the app. When you minimize the app, it has to disconnect from the server. Once you restore the app, it makes a new connection so it goes back to the home screen. This is just a limitation of Windows UWP apps. Not sure what may cause the second problem, but my guess is that the constant disconnecting and reconnecting may be causing the app to be locked into some sort of infinite loop. I'm not sure if this is something I can fix. Since it's not crashing, it will be next to impossible to find out exactly where the problem is. Running on a debugger won't help either since suspend and restore behavior is different in debug. There's even a chance that it's a bug in the API.

I tested sending to that email from my other addresses and it seemed to work, but apparently something is wrong. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106060 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
Main changes: - Only list players that are connected - Respect genre/artist filtering when adding albums/artists to queue. - Add a setting to specify application layout; auto, desktop, mobile. - Add optional grid view for artists, albums, and SlimBrowse icon_list. - Fix durations longer than 24hrs. - Add plugin update info to Information dialog. - When listing a genre's items, ask whether to list Artists or Albums. - Always send volume up commands, even if at 100% already. - List all artists of a track in toolbar, queue, and now playing. Please note that the new grid view is not 100% perfect; especially when a row has more than 1 item but not enough to fill completely, then the items are spread evenly which might look odd. cpd73's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

RonM wrote: > I think it might be "Now Playing At Show". Will check it out. > > R. Sorry, been lazy about checking the forums. The app only jumps to the default player after it connects. So most likely when your phone sleeps the app is disconnecting for some reason. You probably disabled "Always Connected" in General Settings. Also since Android 6, you need to disable Battery Optimization for Squeeze Ctrl for the app to stay connected in the background. BTW, my old webhost got bought out and I had to switch hosts in July.

I manage my ports through my VPN service and they're already configured.
I use a different port that 9000. It all works fine with the
Squeezeplayer and the controller app I've been using. I wanted to try
yours. I also maintain a host name for my server on dyndns.org. I tried
configuring with both the host name and with the IP number for my
server. Neither worked. There's a place to put in a port number on SB
Player but not on Squeeze Ctrl.

Well the image URL I'm using is "/imageproxy/mai/artist/$ARTIST_ID/image_300x300_o" But most artist images are not coming out square. Just had a thought, is the "_o" required? Or does that mean "original", as in don't crop??? There's this: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Artwork. I know it's outdated on some aspects. But it describes _o as: "o: original - This is being used when any unknown parameter or a legacy parameter (see below) is being specified. Ignore height if given, resize only based on width.

I've come across odd behaviour on Chrome on Android and I cannot reproduce it at will, but it has happened more than once. I will unlock my tablet/phone or re-open Chrome from the "all running apps" button and Material will demand auth details again, Chrome fills them in as I have saved the details but then pops-up yet another auth dialogue without pre-filled details, ad infinitum - regardless of Cancel or re-submit, I then have to go back to my home screen and kill Chrome as there is no way out. If I find a way to re-produce this I will detail more. Doesn't happen on Windows 10 / Chrome, just Android.

What auth details? Is your server password protected? Never tried with that. My guess is that the timers in the background are firing repeatedly, causing the auth to be prompted for. Seeing as LMS is not secured via HTTPS, what is the point of password protecting it? cpd73's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's pretty standard, especially if you want to access it outside the home network. Protecting the external access with TLS is possible via a proxy.

Yeah, I was just looking at that. Still, not sure what I can do. The skin can't be loaded until a connection is made, by entering username+password, and this is all handled by the browser. There is no way for my code to get the auth details, so I can't use any existing auth for new calls. If I could somehow access the username+password, then I could simply add these to all the JSONRPC calls - which is trivial to do. But, I cannot get access to it, without re-asking the user for username+password for the skin to store - which seems silly. cpd73's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
