Re: [slim] Say Goodbye to iPeng Classic (for iPhone)

2017-11-25 Thread pippin

Yes, iPeng needs a big redesign for the iPhone X support. iOS 11 broke
the whole top level UI in iPeng 9 and I'll take the opportunity for a
big redesign.

The problematic code is primarily rooted in legacy limitations from iOS
7 times so really should go now.
Also, a lot of UI schemes just don't fit the new, bigger devices too
well so especially on iPhone the UI will change considerably.

It won't be a new app, though, iPeng X will be an update to iPeng 9 and
some first glimpses of the design will come with the updated iPeng
Party.

Regarding iPeng Classic ... I'll try to keep it downloadable from the
store longer term but I'm not yet sure whether Apple will let me do what
I want to try and it also means some work so if you want to continue to
use iPeng Classic better make sure to have a backup.

Wow, good times, thanks for all the effort you have put in.

I must have used all the Peng versions and it's still my main way of
playing music, maybe 60% iPeng and 40% via spotify and airplay bridge.

Did you mention a new version soon? I'd be happy to pay some more for a
new version with iPhone X support.

[slim] Say Goodbye to iPeng Classic (for iPhone)

2017-11-25 Thread pippin

AFTER NINE YEARS ON THE APP STORE, APPLE HAS ANNOUNCED TO REMOVE IPENG
CLASSIC FROM THE STORE BY EARLY DECEMBER.

We are a little sad to inform you that Apple will remove our iPeng
Classic app (for iPhone) from the App Store within the next weeks. Since
the Classic app doesn’t work under iOS 11, and Apple doesn’t want any
apps that only support older versions of the operating system on the
store, the end of our first, classic iPhone app is now inevitably
approaching. While we do of course expect this with a little melancholy
– after all iPeng Classic was our first product on the App Store and
also one of the first functioning iPhone remote control apps on the
market ever –, we are more than happy about the lasting popularity of
iPeng 9 and the smooth transition that most of you seem to experience
with its latest update to iOS 11.

To those of you who have only recently purchased the Classic app or want
to continue using the app with an older device: please make sure to keep
your iCloud backups activated since this will possibly be the only
remaining way to install or re-install the app in the future (we will
try to make at least re-downloads from the App Store available, but
there’s no guarantee that this will work)!
And to those of you who are currently planning to update to iPeng 9 but
haven’t done it yet: if you want to use an Upgrade Bundle to update, you
can only do so as long as the app is still available, the Upgrade Bundle
for iPeng Classic for iPhone will be removed from the App Store together
with the app.

We are, and have always been, striving to permanently improve our apps
and to provide you with the best applicability and music listening
experience possible and will continue to do so in the future. We would
like to thank you, our customers, for your trust and enthusiasm that has
carried us over the years and made iPeng to what it is now – one of the
leading iPhone Remote apps with a top ten position on the App Store in
many European countries.

So again, a warm thanks to all of you,
and as always: have fun with iPeng!

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Graveyard

My Condolences.

Yesterday, my eldest SB3 was seriously ill,and it looked like it was
terminal. No display, no sound, just a dim red light emanating from the
back. As a last resort, we tried a new power supply, and the result was
truly miraculous. Our home is once again filled with music and joy, just
in time for the holidays.

I would recommend to stop chasing for "SB3 PSUs". Things have changed
and by now 5V 2.4A is commonly delivered by "fast" or "iPad" USB
chargers.
Then for the USB-DC 5.5/2.5 barrel cable, I have seen some (did not
mention where the positive pin was...) but perhaps the DIY option is
safer/easier.
Another option is a Raspberry Pi PSU, the official one delivers 5V/2.5A
sustained and comes with a fairly long cable. It is quite inexpensive I
think, by YMMV. Cut the microUSB plug and replace it with a DC barrel
plug and you're done.
