Is your Touch connected to your LMS or is it using mysqueezebox.com ?

For example - do you see locally held music under "My Music" ?

Not yet, this is the first alternative to iPeng I've tried. 

I've had iPeng running for a while, originally with a Win XP machine,
but whilst it worked for a while, it has/had a tendency to 'lose its
place' every so often, and I would go to use it after periods of
non-use, and find the SBT responding with "Unable to connect to (PC
name)" or similar. I would then have to do some fiddling around to
persuade it to restart. Sometimes resetting the SBT with the resest
button on the back. At the moment, with LMS, I can get the SBT working
fine with touch commands and the SBT remote, but iPeng is totally
disconnected from the system - previously, it showed the SBT name as the
active player, but I'm getting a "No players found" message whenever I
start it up on the tablet. I've restarted the tablet, restarted iPeng
numerous times, to no effect. To complicate matters, I got rid of the XP
machine a few months back, and now running LMS on a Win 10 machine.

2022-12-21 Thread SamY


Getting back to your original query, have you tried any of the free
native Android apps such as Squeezer, Squeeze Ctrl and, the new kid on
the block, Open Squeeze? All are very capable and each has its own
unique features, such as Squeeze Ctrl's ability to cast the artwork and
other track info to any Chromecast display --- nice for those holiday
parties. I have all of them installed and rotate among them often,
mostly for testing changes to the AVR Settings menus in the
Denon/Marantz AVR Control plugin, on which I am a developer. That being
said, I am among the many converts to the Material Skin camp with its
associated APK. It really is in a class by itself when it comes to
functionality, user friendliness, customizability (is that a word?) and
just about any other standard that can be applied. Squeezer is probably
my second choice. It is fast, reliable and, like Material Skin, actively
maintained.

First hurdle; 

I open LMS web control in Chrome, with LMS IP:9000 - I then access
Settings at lower right, and I have menu tabs -  Basic Settings, Player,
My Music, etc. and - Plugins.

Select Plugins, Material Skin is not in the list, and there's a msg at
top of screen telling me that "repos.squeezebox" or similar cannot be
accessed. Fine, it can't reach the internet to look up the current list.


So I remove the ethernet cable connecting PC base with LMS to the
standalone router and SBT, and connect the PC base to an active internet
router. Then all the menu tabs go blank, and offer no options, including
the Plugins tab. The router is definitely reaching the internet, I can
open web pages in other Chrome tabs. 

Can't even access basic settings. Reconnect the router with the SBT, and
the Basics come back, but still with the 'old' plugin list.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Are there any decent Android controller apps for LMS on Windows, running an SBT ?

2022-12-19 Thread Guy Stalnaker
I see what you're saying. I think that is true. LMS can be self-contained
(local host or network only) and it runs fine. But adding Plugins will
require an internet connection if they're not part of the "standard" set.
Is the Material Skin being considered as part of the Standard Set (default
and classic)? I dimly recall Michael mentioning something like this.

Yes. It's basically a website that is created and run by LMS. It can be
opened using localhost, or, as I do, on my local router network
192.168.1.X. No need for an external network connection. But you are right,
that functions that require network access cannot work - no streaming, no
automated update downloads, etc. But LMS does not require an available
internet connection to function.

Just had a thought, will Material still work if not connected to the
internet? How can one install plugins?

Anyway, the Music and Artist Information plugin certainly won't work.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Are there any decent Android controller apps for LMS on Windows, running an SBT ?

2022-12-19 Thread Guy Stalnaker
I use the Material skin of the web client. It's the only controller I now
use for desktop or Android OS devices. It's fully functional and is IMO
very well designed with both light and dark modes. It recognizes small
screens versus "regular" web browsers on a desktop reconfiguring its UI
depending on device orientation. I open it in Google Chrome then use
Chrome's 'Save to desktop' to create a tapable object on my phone's screen.
Opens right to the LMS client obscuring the Chrome UI elements. And it's
under active development with regular updates. Highly recommended.

Regards.

So you have LMS on the windows PC.  Install the Material Skin plug in. 
Point any browser at http://winpc-ip:9000/Material.  Configure settings
as required.  There is also an android apk (lms-material) which you can
use in place of a browser.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Are there any decent Android controller apps for LMS on Windows, running an SBT ?

2022-12-19 Thread formbypc


I have an SBT, connected via a standard home router, via Ethernet, to a
Windows 10 PC which holds my Music Library. 

A long time ago, I downloaded iPeng to my iPad of the time, and for a
while, this was fine, but a bit flakey. 

The only purpose the router serves is to connect the SBT to the PC, and
to provide WiFi connection for the controller app on iPad or similar.
It's not internet-connected, it's not connected to anything else in the
house.

The iPad is long past its best, I've since moved on to a more recent
iPad, and from there to Android tablet. There's also an Amazon Fire in
the house available for me to use. 

Are there any decent Android (or Fire) controller apps, similar to
iPeng, which would allow me to control my LMS and SBT from my armchair?
