Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
Wow, that's a fast response. I just installed and it's a big improvement. Things I complained about before work now great. It's going to by my app of choice now. What I really like: - pause, next, prev from every screen! - multiline display for items with long strings (when browsing) - these little dots which tell me how deep in the tree structure I am when browsing the library (unfortunately small and not clickable) - I like that it's switching between two modes: now playing and browse. It's more intuitive than iPeng's approach in which you go from one to another. - plugins work - it remembers where I was while browsing music Issues quickly found are (most are minor): - my plugin works, but the icon for it is wrong (shows some two lights pointing to the stage) - in my plugin I can show a context menu for an item with add, play, insert etc. If I select Add it works correctly - adds to the playlist and closes the popup menu (goes to parent). If I choose Play however, it goes to another menu with just one item called Play. It seems to be SqueezeCommander addition. (But the action works at the end) - on players menu: in iPeng you can click on the song title (white text on dark blue bg) to activate the player. Actually I found this is the best way to do this, otherwise you never know if you hit something that makes some action, like volume control or player on/off. This doesn't work here. - am I the only one which dislikes the way you select the player in iPeng (and here?). This screen is maybe great for advanced control of all players at once or synchro, but for normal operation... Logitech app is way better here because selecting the player is easy and you always see your player name with big font. - if you are in the library, you have a button to go back ala iPeng. Not sure if it's really needed, since Android devices have hardware go back.. - loading any music library list in iPeng seems to be faster. I think it is because the UI makes it feel faster (animated icon) plus iPeng starts loading stuff before the menu starts sliding, not sure how it's here. (But I also restarted my server recently, it might be things are slower now, because not cached...) - everything is made the way high contrast + bold fonts, not sure if it's good for longer use :) - dots shown, when you can slide the screens, are small and not clickable. They are iPhone style, not Android style. Clicking them would actually come handy while browsing music. - sliding the screen to go one level higher in the tree, when browsing music, works, but is not really robust (AFAIR same applies to iPeng). - some polish strings are cutted from the first special polish character to the end. Not sure if it's translation issue or program. Some other work fine. (ó works ok, #322;, #347;, #263; etc. don't). - on this panel with play, prev, next it feels like sth is missing. Maybe becayse of getting used to iPeng, maybe because assymetry. How about adding some useful action there. About selecting the player. I think the player name should be shown always, with big letters, even if it takes space. Additionally I think, it should be always shown at the top of the screen, not the bottom, because this is where you always start and where you find most information. I cannot count how many times I started music on the wrong player with iPeng, because I didn't look at the bottom of the screen. Then, when you select the player, it should be just player names and nothing more, otherwise it's cluttered and confusing. Multi player control as it is now is great, but as an addition to the above. It might be my opinion only, but just try Logitech app and see how easy and great it is.

I can live with that :) the Logitech App: if you don't stop the Logitech App (i.e. leave it via the home button), it returns to the last menu where you left, even when started via SqueezePlayer. This works fine an all devices I tried. If you haven't been in the Logi-App for a long time, then maybe Android decided to remove the App from the background, so it will be restarted. Nothing I can do there - and that this App has a forced unnecessary splashscreen I cannot change :(. In my experience using SqueezeCommander is much more convenient, as it starts much faster. This is not much of an issue for me anymore, as SqueezeCommander just got a great update and is going to be my app of choice. But in case you want reports about it, this is how it works here. (I evaluated more). If Logitech app is initially started with SqueezePlayer it works as expected. Everytime I switch to it from SqueezePlayer, it is instant. If Logitech app is started separately by running the app from Android UI, then SqueezePlayer will not switch to it, but rather start another one. Moreover, every next time I try it, is starts another one (show the splash screen again). And now I'm in logitech app and try to quit it. It asks for confirmation, than quits and guess what, I have logitech app on screen again. I have to quit it as many times as I did start it before :) So I guess many instances are started, although built-in task manager shows always only one.

Re: [slim] How would you like to manage playlists ?
1. What kind of device would you like to use when doing advanced playlist management ? A normal computer/laptop ? A tablet ? A netbook ? Something else ? Normal computer and when I get one later in the year then a tablet 2. Do you have any examples of good playlist management user interfaces in some other app which you feel has solved the problem in a good user friendly way ? I'm not a massive fan of Apple products much but I actually like iTunes for playlists and also banshee on Ubuntu, the main thing for manual playlists for me is to bve able to view my collection and search easily and then also review other playlists 3. Is there a reason you would like to continue using the third party application you currently use even if a better user interface for playlist management would be offered through SBS ? Only for managing my old ipod 4. Is it important to integrate it with some other application ? For example integration with dragdrop with the operating system file manager or something similar ? Not for me 5. In case not already answered in question 2 and 4, do you have some ideas what kind of features or user interface layout you think is important for advanced playlist management ? Mentioned above, also I would like to be able to link to dynamic/smart playlists, e.g. so I could quickly review my 5* tracks and pull out tracks from there - that would be a great feature, so for example there is about 1000 tracks in that and I could get into that and pull out 100 tracks for a specific reason 6. How do you do advanced playlist management today ? Which app ? From a computer, laptop, tablet or something else ? Mainly Banshee on a laptop which creates an m3u into the playlists folder, I also use the playlist However I would also say that my time spent producing manual playlists now is pretty minimal, I use 2 main sources to get my playlists 1) Your excellent dynamic playlists plugin and specifically a 'top rated tracks', this is the heaviest used playlist on my setup, we use this for casual listening/having friends round etc. 2) Spotify playlists - Since getting a spotify premium subscription then I use spotify playlists a lot, choosing from my android phone mainly via sharemyplaylists.com -- socistep socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87372 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi there I've a lot of troubles stemming (I think) from running SqueezeServer on a USB HDD - it's practically unusable. Fortunately(!), my home PC has broken, and I'm looking to replace it. High on my list of requirements for a new machine would be the ability to run quietly as a media server for my SB system. The system would be used for casual surfing some work, so I'm thinking a Nettop (compact PC). I have some questions..: 1. Would a Windows 7-based system have the ability to sit quietly in an 'always-on' function and run the SB server? I'd want it running almost silently on minimum power, rather like a Mac can (a Mac is too expensive for me...) 2. Any particular minimum specs needed for this kind of system..?

Squidget is an Android widget. Android widgets don't allow you anything except reacting to click event. No long click, sliders, just single click. I thought of setting some sort of manual on Squidget blog, but: a. It is very unlikely that any one will read it. It's either the UI is well thought of, or people won't use it. So if you think the repeat is something you need to look up the function of each button , then I probably need to change it. Would a textual indication work for you? b. Squidget is new and therefore changes every few days (especially the layouts). Once I get these stable for a few weeks, I'll document at least the 4x4 layout. In any case I believe it will probably be read only by people planning to purchase it rather than actual users. c. In general, you can press anything on Squidget with no damage to your music library / server settings. It's read only. So go ahead and press those buttons and see what happens.

flattermann;628959 Wrote:
Which plugin is that?
I'm using the icon url from window - icon-id.
If no icon url can be found, I'm showing this default icon (two
lights).
Unfortunately it's my own unreleased work. I make it this way and it
works for SqueezePlay and Radio:
Code:
my @menu = (
{
# localize text where possible
icon=
'plugins/Klara/html/images/klara_touch.png',
menuIcon=
'plugins/Klara/html/images/klara_ipeng.png',
text= 'PLUGIN_KLARA',
id = 'pluginKlaraJiveMain',
weight = 10,
actions = {
go = {
cmd = ['klara', 'menu'],
params = {
menu = 'menu_klara',
},
},
},
},
);
I'm trying to avoid touch-to-play.
Of course, in this case - if the element is named PLAY - it should play
directly.
What's the text of this (play) item?
What's the JSON command?
Why avoid it?
This looks like this:
Code:
push(@menuItems,
{
text = string('PLAY'),
actions = {
do = {
player = 0,
cmd = ['klara', 'playlist',
'play'],
nextWindow = 'nowPlaying',
params = {
context = $context,
}
}
}
}
);
I prefer clicking on the player name itself, because the song title is
ambiguous.
If you have a sync group of several player, which one should be
selected by clicking the song title? The master?
I'll probably change it that it will automatically select the current
sync master.
I don't know, but it's confusing, as it is in iPeng. How about this:
- make this icon with a player symbol select the player (also better
icons would be great, I liked these which iPeng was using before
more).
- put next icon next to it, to power on/off with the icon which really
looks like power on/off (like what is shown for a second when you click
it).
- this leave enough space for player name and volume control
But maybe it's better to ask people who like and need this screen. For
me this screen is just overloaded and as soon as you make some easy
player selection, I will stop using it and never see it again :)
Just found that I have to be really careful with scrolling on it. I
have 3 hardware players + squeezeslave + Android SqueezePlayer since
today + iPeng's player, so I have to scroll the list all the time. Have
to be careful to not start scrolling at volume control, because it
doesn't work then. Would love to just select the player in two clicks
without any scrolling.
I do not really like the big player name, because it take pretty much
space and I normally know which player I selected.
But making it easier to select another player may be a good idea.
Right now, if you long-press the player name on the bottom, you will
jump to the PlayerServerScreen.
Maybe I should change this so that a Player Selection Popup opens
directly and you can select the player you want.
What do you think?
I think it would be way better than it is now, but not perfect. As I
understand, the main priority is to have big squared area for artwork?
Then I cannot find any great idea, but this place where you display
song details looks perfect for a player name :)
Somehow I'm pretty much convinced that having big player name at the
top is the only way to go.
I've noticed that as well.
I should probably reduce the minimum swipe distance...
I think the other problem is, that with other screens as soon as you
start dragging, it reacts. Here you have to make the complete gesture
so it scrolls.
Could you give an example of such a string and where it is shown?
Main menu (browsing) - Sk#322;adanka losowa (in iPeng), Sk here.
Settings - Player settings - most items here. Don't know what they
mean, but they are Wy, D, U, Nazwa us
Settings - advanced settings is writte double Ustawienia

Other screens are less problematic, because they don't need fixed squared space for artwork. Personally I would make play-ref-ff-panel slide out of the bottom of the screen on other screens. So if the panel is hidden, there would be some small indication at the bottom telling you can slide something out.

Is there a reason you would like to continue using the third party application you currently use even if a better user interface for playlist management would be offered through SBS ? No 4.

Sure. Use one of the Squeezebox software players.

You invoke it via command line, and it runs without any graphical interface at all.

(The MySB credentials are not stored anymore on the phone, only the generated UUID of the device is authorized once on MySB.) I'm not sure about local password-protected SqueezeBoxServers. (I think, the credentials should survive an update from 0.9.5.x to 0.9.6.1, but I'm not sure.) EDIT: And why do I have MySb.com listed twice? Once as Disconnected and one as Connected? Maybe you should remove the App once and reinstall it. (Afterwards, you definitely need to re-enter your credentials.) And why does it suddenly speak Swedish to me... Half of the menus and commands are in Swedish, previously it was all English. Looks really ugly, how do I set it all to English? I'm sending the language/locale of your phone to the SBS, therefore it will also answer in this language. EDIT^2: Please... I can't stand this Swenglish mish-mash... how do I get it all to be English as it was before...?

Re: [slim] New computer to act as server..?
WOW, these are very personal questions. Mostly you need to really ask yourself what will do the job for you... Do you plan on keeping your music on the external HDD or are you planning on getting a large enough HDD in the PC to move your library onboard? Do you run SBS plugins, the more you run the slower the server. If you're planning on using it for work, surfing and email along with hosting your SBS is the small netbook screen really going to do the job for you? Most laptops today run fairly quiet so I don't see the big concern there. My own opinion is to lean towards overkill, a minimum of a dual core 2.0 GHz, HDD at least 7200 RPM and plenty of room for growth, 4GB memory and 64 bit Windows. You'll notice the difference when it comes to maintenance tasks like rescanning your music, browsing the library from the webUI. Generally a snappier system.

Re: [slim] New computer to act as server..?
As others have stated - without knowing what you *really* do with it recommendations are hard, and should be taken with a pinch of salt. The system in my sig is great as an always on SBS, and just draws 20-something watts... but I also have a higher powered system to do real work. There are now excellent Intel lga1155 boards that have both a lot of umph, aggressive power management features, and fit into a miniITX board that is whisper quiet. For a silent system you ahve to do some research before you buy the components, though - I recommend silentpcreview.com. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: MiniITX build w/Intel D510MO - Ubuntu 10.04LTS - SBS 7.5.3 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet (1), Radio (1), Accuphase DP65v CD (used as DAC mostly) Amplifiers: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87453 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
