be, they will never realize the extra usability, speed and features

The features that will continue to be unique to third party apps are:
- playback (not interesting for Logitech)
- usability (Logitech don't have the skills/time to give it focus)
- speed (Logitech don't have the time to give it focus)
Unfortunately I'm not sure this is enough for normal users. It's
clearly worth a lot more than $10 for those of us that know which
difference it makes, but most normal users will probably not realize
this.
It's also going to kill the Controller sales if Logitech decides to
market their iOS/Android apps, why get a Controller when you can get a
iPod Touch with same features plus touch screen and portable player at
same or lower price. Maybe not a big issue as the Controller has felt
old for quite some time, but still...

It's not strange they want you to register since the switch between SBS

the force me to enter the credentials when my SBS already have them.
Would be a lot better to just show a list of SBS instances and ask me

I think anyone who feel that $10 for an app is problematic should start
thinking about what their iOS hardware, Squeezebox hardware and
receiver/amplifier/speakers costs. An extra $10 to make it possible to
take full advantage of the Squeezebox in comparison to what most of us
have payed for the surrounding hardware isn't that much. As I've said
previously, it's about the same price as a burger meal or two, I'm
definitely going to enjoy the Squeezebox music a lot longer than I

This app isn't as bad as I first thought. For some reason yesterday the graphics were narrow and the overlay for the track info was solid black rather than transparent. Now that that is sorted out, it is quite good. It still isn't up to par with ipeng. It does play nicely with squeezecast which is a iOS squeezebox player that will play gapless FLAC. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.

Re: [slim] Wireless SB2 as bridge, wired to, a Touch ?
I've used a Slingbox and Sonos player simultaneously wired to an SB2 as a bridge, and that worked fine, so I don't see why a Touch wouldn't work. Other than for testing side by side, or if you are going to run your ethernet between rooms or across a wall, I find it hard to imagine a scenario where this would be useful though. -- Nikhil Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87217 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Auto starting SBS and squeezeplay
Just been setting things up in my second/holiday home. I normally use 2 Duets, but here I have the PC running SBS right by my audio so I have been trying out Squeezeplay. I want to be able to just power up the PC and then be able to select music from the Controller as soon as it is up and running. To achieve this I have got both SBS and squeezeplay auto starting. The problem is that squeezeplay gets up and running sooner than SBS, and being unable to find a server does not connect. When SBS is up and running later I have to frig around with the controller to get the player connected. If however I manually start squeezeplay after SBS is started it just works. So the question is can I delay the auto start of squeezeplay until SBS is up? -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Android Controller App
It's jumping up and down when I try to use the volume buttons (HTC Desire). Hard- or softbuttons? Is the volume jumping or the display? Heh... and what kind of server are you using? -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Android Controller App
Apologizes if this has been brought up already, but has anyone else have problems with the screen not scrolling properly through playlists, album lists, artist lists, etc... This indeed is a known issue. Nothing I can reproduce at will (and believe me, I've spent hours trying to fix this one :-(), but I've seen it every now and then, mostly when drilling from the album list to an album. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Android Controller App
Sadly I see that as well, more on Gingerbread than on Froyo but Froyo had worse scrolling and reaction speeds overall. What device are you using? -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Android Controller App
The scrolling problem are caused, because the App is actually only a HTML site running fullscreen. Nah... that's a bit simplistic of an argument. HTML vs. native can be blamed for many issues. But if a device has a broken rendering engine then this is out of our hands. From the feedback I've got so far it's almost exclusively reported for HTC devices. As well as the stuck menus. Unfortunately HTC has got a huge userbase... On HTC Desire and some others this doesn't work at all. By all fair means: that's rubbish. I feel your pain re. the free competition, but let's try to be fair all the same. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
