Re: [slim] New Logitech Squeezebox 2020 Edition
If you're finding you use Alexa with an Echo speaker then you can get much better audio quality simply by plugging your Echo to your stereo, there's a 3.5mm analogue output in the back which while it's not exactly the best quality will still be much better through your stereo. The disadvantage of using your speaker this way is that all audio is sent via the output of it's plugged in, you'll only hear Alexa respond when the stereo is on, this is easily solved by simply adding an extra device (wait til the sales and add a cheap echo dot to your stereo) You can use your existing echo to ask for music to play on the Dot connected to the stereo, you can even set your other speaker to default music playback on the stereo Echo Dot if you wanted. You can do a similar thing in the Google infrastructure, however none of the Google speakers have a line out, if you can find a Chromecast Audio, sadly.nonlonger available new, or use a HDMI from a normal Chromecast, you can request music on the Chromecast using your voice, and again set any smart speaker to default music playback to the Chromecast Audio. Chromecasts of all types (including Google smart speakers) can all be used as extra squeezebox zones as well if you install the absolutely excellent Chromecast bridge plugin so a Chromecast audio can really give you the best of both worlds. jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111449 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There is another alternative app that has basically the same functionality called SB Player, might be worth a try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angrygoat.android.sbplayer SB Player requires later versions of Android so may use the audio in a different way, worth a go at least.

Re: [slim] Logitech Android Squeezebox controller app - doesn't show album art
I think you may be right about the password causing this. I don't normally use the Logitech app as Orange Squeeze and Squeeze Commander are far superior in my opinion. So I installed the Logitech app on my Nexus 7. Accessed a few albums and confirmed artwork was available. Then I enabled the password on LMS 7.8 and sure enough no albumart. Funnily enough those albums I'd accessed before did show artwork even with the password enabled, however other albums didn't. There might be a workaround that if you disable the password. Go to Album view and scroll right to the bottom this will allow the caching of art work in the app. Then reenable the password. No idea if that would work though.

The Zeus-admin you mention is actually a rather nasty Trojan used for botnets, stealing passwords and other stuff.

Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
As I say I honestly don't believe the 4 option menu is generated by Orange Squeeze itself it's the defeat destructive play option in LMS 7.8. I can get both versions depending on the contents of the now playing play list but it is incredibly inconsistent and seemingly easily confused. For this reason I actually normally have play as the default option. With the various options I have set in LMS this means if nothing is already playing then tapping a track plays it and continues playing the rest of the album. If I then tap a different track while still playing I then get the 4 option list you mention. Before I upgraded to 7.8 I only got the long list if prompt was the selected default. I actually think it's possible to get the exact behaviour you want. Set Orange Squeeze to default to play. Don't use the prompt option at all Set the option in LMS to always ask before playing your selection In theory this should do what you want. jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If it helps here's a market link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bluegaspode.squeezeplayer And also one for SB Player, which does seem to have more features and could possibly be a better option, however I'm 99% sure it doesn't support 2.3. I've not tried it myself because I'd already purchased Squeezeplayer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angrygoat.android.sbplayer Depending on how you plan to use Squeezeplayer I'd also suggest Orange Squeeze as a control app on the desire Z. That way you'll have a display and control locally. Orange Squeeze integrates squeezeplayer into the player selection menu and offers an option to automatically start squeeze player when it starts. Other Android control apps will require the player app to be started manually If you're hiding the desire away and only controlling it with other devices then it may be wise to get squeezeplayer starting automatically on boot. The link below will help with that. http://www.squeezeplayer.com/2013/05/start-squeezeplayer-on-startup/ OT a bit, but IMO the Z is quite possibly the best built phone I've ever owned, I was also a bit dubious of the hinge being a weak point but no such problems, mine was abused and used frequently as a torch in my job as an Electrician with no problems. I'm sure it could probably function as a hammer its that solid. :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100475 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Touch replacement
Yes to controlling it with any other method, including other SB or the web interface. I've controlled the player on a phone with a SB Touch.

radish112 wrote: Hi. I recently bought a Nexus 7 tablet and installed Orange Squeeze. The apparent inability to play all tunes within an album, rather than playing each tune in the playlist on a one-at-a-time basis, was bugging me. I don't know if I would have ever figured out how to a play an entire album if I hadn't seen your post. Did you stumble on this trick on your own, or is there an Orange Squeeze tips and tricks web page or help file that I obviously haven't stumbled on? Thanks. You can change the tap action settings in the preferences which will then play an album when tapping the first track. It does make it extremely likely you'll lose a carefully crafted playlist you've spent a while compiling. I find Squeeze Commander to have a much better mechanism for this, although Orange Squeeze I'd superior in every other respect.

Re: [slim] Stream google play music
dgovan wrote: I have the same query - I would really like to listen to Google Play on my radios and classic but the suggested solutions above are very techy and beyond me. Is their an easy way to do it? For the radio you could go low tech and just use the line in with your phone or tablet. I actually think this is the one Sonos feature that surpasses anything on LMS, you can use a Sonos line in to stream to any other Sonos zones which is nice. Personally I use Airplay but with all 3rd party hardware. My main playback devices are O2 Joggers running squeezeplay and Sharply and I then have an app called AOA (Airplay on Android) which requires a rooted device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nav.aoaservice Another option is to connect an Android device directly to your stereo, if you have a spare device use that and then run a remote app to control it from your main device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ubergrund.android.mr5 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Stream google play music
dgovan wrote: Ah yes I forgot about using a wire and that does work fine from my tablet as I've just found out. Bit cumbersome and primitive though. (I have a chromecast for listening on my TV but needed a connection to my Classic/radios) You would think Google would go all out to have people using their music. Maybe they see it as a selling point for their OS and associated hardware. Maybe now they have a subscription service as well as uploading your own stuff we might see other support on other devices, maybe not though. I guess another factor might be a desire to keep GM as a USP whereas if it was opened up with a proper API it would almost be inevitable that an iOS version would follow (unless Apple block it of course) Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using Tapatalk jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 IR Remote Control problem
Bit of a cop out answer but have you tried factory resetting the SB? I've lost count of the times various devices have been cured of weird stuff like this by a reset or reboot. Also if I remember correctly the SB3 has an additional reset for an xlink reset that is worth a go if a factory reset doesn't solve it.
