How do you "dismiss" SqueezePlayer from the task pane? This is not allowed by Android, as the notification is bound to the running service.

Squeeze Ctrl works fine with LMS 7.9. It's the only app I've used on Android, but I like it, as it does everything I need it to do. Pretty straightforward interface with few surprises.

Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
I can confirm that both apps work with LMS 7.9. I prefer OrangeSqueeze. Squeeze Ctrl often crashes the LMS on smaller hardware like NAS. And OrangeSqueeze looks much better. :cool: But on the other hand Squeeze Ctrl seems to be the only app that is still under development. quadronado's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60946 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

They both work fine with 7.9. I prefer SqueezeCntrl, but your experience may differ. They're cheap enough that you can get both and decide -- a few dollars spent, a lifetime of convenience achieved.

Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
I think nobody ever bothered to write a Smart Radio App for Android and looking at the download figures for iPeng UE I can understand them all too well, it's just not worth it, too few people using this. People complain a lot about the Logitech App but for a cheap standalone radio they are probably not prepared to pay for an App and people who want multiroom will probably switch to the Squeezebox firmware. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
I had been using the stock Logitech android app with my Android 4.4 phone and tablet. I recently got an Android 5.1 phone and tablet and the stock Logitech android app no longer works to control my Squeezebox radios. I bought Orange Squeeze and it works perfectly with my Android 5.1 Lollipop phone and and tablet. In addition, it also works perfectly with my older Android 4.4 tablet. I mainly use Orange Squeeze along with mysqueezebox.com to play my favorite radio stations, etc. I wish there were decent apps for the UE smart radio (similar to Orange Squeeze). I have two Squeezebox radios, one with the Squeezbox firmware and one that I converted to the UE Smart Radio firmware (mainly to access IHeartRadio). The Logitech UE Smart Radio app leaves much to be desired.

Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
I've used squeeze commander for years and it works great for my needs. I did have another look at squeeze ctrl after this thread got me interested again. .it's a great app and could win me overt. However. The way it handles volume of grouped players is annoying. When a player is grouped I like the volume on my phone to be grouped too and not have to go into the player manager settings to adjust the group volume or worse case change individually. SC does this brilliantly but Steve Ctrl doesn't. .you have to go to the screen where the player grouping is shown and adjust a group volume there. ..so close. .just needs an option to make that group volume default if wanted. I also don't want to group player volume at source because I like to adjust them independently when using player controls (eg turn boom down in kitchen but not player in the front room) Think it's time I went to the squeeze ctrl forum :-) Giza2020's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
Orange Squeeze has always worked well for me ... although it has been slightly flaky on my old Xperia SP with Android 4.3 since about a year ago when using the widget. No issues at all on newer phones and tablets and the widget is very handy for quick control access. slimfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Go with Squeeze-Ctrl. It has an amazing array of abilities including to chromecast the Now Playing screen to a TV.

Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
I own Squeeze Control, Orange Squeeze and Squeezer. Squeeze Control gets my vote, a nice touch is the volume control buttons always to hand on the now playing screen, or simply slide a finger up or down on the album cover to immediately raise/lower the volume, important when used into active speakers with no remote controlled volume in the chain. The Squeezer app on the other hand, needs two button presses 'til you get to actually get to see the volume control ! kidstypike LMS on Raspberry Pi 2 model B/max2play/HiFiBerry DAC+ > AVI DM5 1 x SB3 - 1 x Boom - 1 x (Squeezebox) Radio - 2 x Touch - 2 x Raspberry Pi/max2play/HiFiBerry kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?
I own both Orange Squeeze and Squeeze Ctrl; they're both fine apps, but I prefer Squeeze Ctrl. Besides what others have mentioned, it includes a number of small touches that I use (e.g., Tasker integration, the ability to mute all players when a phone call comes in). Its developer is very responsive to feedback/requests, and seems more active currently than the Orange Squeeze developer. bwaldron's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
