Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
There are new updates for iPeng and iPeng for iPad on the App store. Changes are mostly details for the iPad App but iPeng for iPhone is now no longer compatible with iOS 3. IPENG FOR IPAD * No winter hat icon anymore. * Some stability improvements IPENG FOR IPHONE The App is now again on par with iPeng for iPad which means it does include the improvements that have been made in the iPad App versions before: * Improved startup behavior and server detection * Improved memory usage, should especially improve things on old devices * Popup notification when adding tracks to current playlist or favorites * iPeng now shows the currently playing track on the lock screen and allows lock screen control (double-click the home button) if either local playback is on or the keep connection setting is enabled. There is one change that applies to both versions: If you enable the keep connection option in iPeng Settings, iPeng will now stay active even in the background for one hour. This will allow you to * use the volume keys while you are using other Apps or when the device is locked * automatically pause a Squeezebox whenever a call comes in even when iPeng is in the background (Pause on Call) Option in the settings * Use the lock screen information and control for your Squeezebox, not only iPeng's player. It does, however have a few side effects: * It consumes battery (obviously) * Every change to the volume you might do in other Apps feeds into your Squeezebox * You have to be careful with the AirPlay icon on the lock screen. Remember that this does NOT work with the stream being sent to your Squeezebox so iPeng has to play locally to make that work.

Facebook doesn't allow any auto-generated content anymore and automnatically removes it in their standard dialog (which iPeng uses). You'd have to use OpenGraph now (which I plan to eventually do) but the you'd have to provide the persistence yourself (for links) which isn't necessarily easy. You can still re-add info for the current track by doing a hold in the entry field for the text so that the iOS Edit-Menu comes up, iPeng adds a paste current track menu (usually under more ) which will paste the same info that was originally part of the message, this counts because now _you_ are entering the data. If you are posting something containing links (Spotify et al, Radio,...) the link will still be present, that's still allowed, it's just the message itself that can no longer be precomposed. I was considering to use the API directly and ignore facebook's rules (no idea how they would react) but then the link resolution would no longer work, that seems to be broken in that standard API, it only anymore works with OpenGraph. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
New iPeng updates are now available in the App Store. One thing is that it fixes an annoying crash on startup that some people experienced after upgrading to Squeezebox Server 7.6.0. There was a simple workaround but hey, let's better fix it... To not make it just a boring bugfix, there are also a few updates to the functionality: BROWSER * There is now an (internet) browser under Extras that you can use to browse and play music from web sites on your Squeezebox. I love that I can no read music blogs like Stereogum and listen to the stuff they link right away :) * Each page driven by a browser (including facebook and Wikipedia) now has it's owm URL entry field and pull to refresh feature (iOs 4 and newer only). SHARING * There's now better support for sharing and playing shared links with Rhapsody and Spotify * Facebook posts now have an (editable) default I'm listening to text. LOOKUP * Wikipedia lookup now also works for local library entries while browsing * There's now also a Google Search for Lyrics under the Lookup menu. No, you can't use it for the lyrics screen saver in iPeng for iPad, that would be a bit too much of a stretch. PLAYBACK * There's now an Play All entry on some context menus. There are a few cases where this will play whole menus (e.g. Top 100 tracks in Triode's Spotify plugin) where you could only play single tracks before. Unfortunately, Favorites is not one of them. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I like the new social features and it was something I missed before, I share music on FB several times a week. I will certainly use the other social features too :) I bought the playback option but have only got it to work on the iPad, do I have to sync both the iPad and the iPhone to iTunes for it to work on the iPhone too?

Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Umm. What exactly did you do? You've got both Ipegn for iPad and iPeng for iPhone, I read. Have you read the instructions in the Enable Playback menu on how you get the discounted playback? The playback in the iPad App generally is a different product from the one in the iPhone App by App Store logic, there really isn't a way around that other than requiring a registration (and setting up an authorisation server) or the way I've done this.

Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Just a comment from my side. iPeng is still my reference SB control from a functionality perspective. I don't think it has to fear any competition, neither from Squeezepad nor from Logitech. Those are just copying that IMO basic feature set, which is all but user-friendly, especially if your collection approaches a certain size. If you'd ask me. I'd say. No I wouldn't need those social media functions. Probably I'm not in that addressed target group though. Lot's of programming effort and money goes into those from my perspective rather questionable features. What I'd like to see: I hope that we see one day a better consistant (dark) theme on the iPeng interface. I know, that this is ususally said to be a matter of taste. I wouldn't agree at this point. GUI style mix is not considered the most successful strategy for applications to make its users feel well. Yep there's IMO quite some space for improvement. The mix up of blue-white, black screen designs and those old style blue framed pop-ups (taken from 1st generation iPeng I guess), i'd consider all but consistant. I assume you had a chance to look at SqueeezPad, it looks really good and consistant - it just lacks iPeng functionalities. ;) I keep the fingers crossed that you gonna do something about it. Obviously a lot of time goes into programming of new iPeng features, which do not relate to playback and database management anymore. That I consider a pity. Bottom line. I don't think those social media things will keep you in the lead. The wikipedia thing is not bad. Still, fighting the Googles/browsers etc. won't work out on the long run I guess. I find myself using very often the browser to enter the html-based setup dialog of the SB server. Would be great if I could do all that from iPeng. That's what I also consider very useful. I could change plugin parameter settings and advanced settings, asf from inside iPeng. No need to switch apps. Off-topic wish: I'd find it nice if the push2play function of iPeng as it is done on the iPhone would also be made available on the iPad. By pushing the album art from the collection-overview layer to start immediate playback, should also work on the iPad - it could be introduced as a new feature to be activated under settings. (Shouldn't be such a big deal) Anyhow. Keep up the good work. I recommended your App more than once and keep doing it. ;) Cheers -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 2.0 and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Lot's of programming effort and money goes into those from my perspective rather questionable features. Well, that kind of depends on the user, doesn't it? I wanted it a lot for the reasons I stated and on facebook I can see that it's indeed being used. What I'd like to see: I hope that we see one day a better consistant (dark) theme on the iPeng interface. Consistent with what? Right now it's consistent with Apple's Apps and Apple's interface guidelines. Dark background may look cooler but it's really bad for the eyes if you have small print. That said: it's coming, I have to develop a dark interface now for the upcoming iPeng redesign and will probably make that an option. I know, that this is ususally said to be a matter of taste. I wouldn't agree at this point. GUI style mix is not considered to be the most successful strategy for applications to make its users feel well. Yep - there's IMO quite some space for improvement. The mix-up of blue-white black screen designs and those old style blue framed pop-ups (taken from 1st generation iPeng I guess), i'd consider all but consistant. With blue pop-ups I assume you mean the context menus? That's actually not old but the newest addition to the interface. The idea is to show the difference between a normal menu and a context menu because they are functionally different. It's an important distinction because in a context menu you can destroy a playlist with a single tap, like in an album menu, which is why these are distinct, too. The dark cs. light scheme is the same one Apple uses:dark means NowPlaying functionality, light means library. The only exception is Settings-Player Settings if you use that. I assume you had a chance to look at SqueeezPad, it looks really good and consistant - it just lacks iPeng functionalities. ;) I keep the fingers crossed that you gonna do something about it. Well, SqueezePad allows itself the luxury of wasting 50% of the screen for visual effects only, it's content area is just a little bit bigger that iPeng for iPhone's. You can of course do that on iPad (and I always said I'm not happy with iPeng for iPad's overall layout) but you can't do it on iPhone. It's easy to make a playlist look the same way as a stored playlist if they are always in different places, you can't mix them up, on a small device you need to create visual clues. Also, regarding the functionality: One of the reasons SqueezePad has a somewhat cleaner design than iPeng is that bluegaspode refuses to add functionality at the price of simplicity. Obviously a lot of time goes into programming of new iPeng features, which do not relate to playback and media-/database management anymore. That I consider a pity. Wikipedia was something like a 1h hack, really not a lot. Facebook and Twitter for me are absolutely playback and media management features because it's for me a way to be finally able to play music I could not play on my Squeezebox at all so far - a growing pain (see my comment above). On library management the situation is simple: I can't do anything more before Squeezebox Server 7.6 is out, the performance for a significant part of iPeng's user base would simply suffer too much. Even now, the things iPeng does in addition to standard Squeezeplay hurt performance and I'm frequently getting complaints to that respect, it's simply not an option. Bottom line. I don't think those social media things will keep you in the lead. The wikipedia idea is not bad. Still, fighting the Googles/browsers and other spezialized apps etc. IMO won't work out on the long run. That would be a pity because it would mean that the Squeezebox will die out because that will be where the music will come from in the long run. Via a web-browser you get to artist homepages, Amazon reviews and asf. in a very flexible way. Yes. But without iPeng you can't actually PLAY that music. It's still an issue for me because two of the most frequently used services among my friends (rd.io and SoundCloud) are not supported at all by the Squeezebox. I do and will keep doing my research-while-listening with my bowsers. Maybe we are different, but I'm not prepared to try to find out for half an hour how I can actually play that link somebody sends me, it has to be faster and if faster means I have to use something else than the Squeezebox this is going to be an issue for my Squeezebox. I've caught myself playing music through AppleTV! Idea: I find myself using very often the browser to enter the html-based setup dialog of the SB server. Would be great if I could do all that from iPeng. That's what I also consider very useful. I could change plugin parameter settings and advanced settings, asf from inside iPeng. No need
Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
No need to defend anything. ;) I guess I spreaded my message. I don't see any arguments from your side which would change my mind. Good to see that you're working on a GUI redesign. On an iPad you don't want to see a boring blue-white PC like surface. You want to see a cool shiny control panel. A mix of squeezepad and ipeng plus a little more coolness or call it innovative control functions. P.S: The tap on album works on the iPhone extremely well for me. I don't see any reason not having it as configurable option on the iPad. I'd really prefer a kind of consistent usability of both programs.

My comments mainly apply to iPhone. iPad will get a redesign, too, but I'm not yet sure about the scheme, it's actually very, very difficult to do some of the things iPeng for iPad now does with a dark background. P.S: The tap on album works on the iPhone extremely well for me. I don't see any reason not having it as configurable option on the iPad. Well, as I said: we tried it and almost everybody got confused and the decision to remove it was unambiguous. In the iPhone App it's consistent right now, in the iPad one it was not. I'd really prefer a kind of consistent usability of both programs. (as a matter of fact I got both in use) But how do you differentiate the two then?

I think I need to re-phrase that description. iPeng does not allow using AirPlay devices as players like a Squeezebox, that would require an AirPlay key which Apple is not giving away. What this feature does is it adds a control for the AirPlay route to the iPeng Player if you use iPeng's playback. In this case you can use the normal AirPlay from the iThingy to your AirPlay device. This did work before but you had to use the task bar control now there is one in the player control. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Well, then there will be a YouTube search option in the Global Search and a browse feature under Radios (SBS 7.6) or My Apps (SBS 7.6). If you have a specific YouTube link you can paste it either into the plugin or into the Tune In URL. If somebody sends you a link through Facebook or Twitter, it will work if you use iPeng's facebook or Twitter Apps. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When I tried, I just opened Safari and when I click on a link like this
one it will open iPeng and start playing the track (note that it begins
with ipeng instead of http):
ipeng://open.spotify.com/track/3NdvjzDM2ZVQDjaGzBtg6C
But if you like it to work with standard http links, I think you need
to use the above mentioned approach, at least I haven't found anything
better:
http://open.spotify.com/track/3NdvjzDM2ZVQDjaGzBtg6C
(This link will just open the Spotify app on my iPad)
I think it also works to use the Radios/Tune in URL menu and enter a
url like:

If we get this, it would also be nice to be able to setup favorite
sites so you easily can go back to your favorite playlist site later.
If that's hard, maybe it would be possible to just make it easy to go
to a specific wiki page where we all outside iPeng could add links to
our favorite playlist sites to make it easy to reach them from inside
iPeng.

I suspect Logitech has other priorities at the moment, so if you like
something that works with MySB it's probably going to have to be built
into iPeng. Another advantage of having it in iPeng would be that you
could theoretically display the album and artist name before the user
has hit play and not just show a spotify url.
Which solution would you prefer ? a third party plugin in SBS or built
into iPeng ?
Are there similar problems with other services so you need to build
something into iPeng anyway to make it work similar for all services ?
Or is this limitation specific to Spotify ?

By default it will send the title, artist and album (you can of course
edit that) and most importantly whenever a link is available that
can be played (as is the case for services like Spotify, Rhapsody,
YouTube or radio stations) that link will be sent, too. So your friends
dont just know, what you are listening to, they can just click the link
and listen to it, too.
Do you know if Rhapsody has some common identity with Spotify ?
I know Spotify has some kind of support for musicbrainz id do you know
if this or something similar also is supported by Rhapsody ?
The reason is that since I have Spotify but not Rhapsody, it would be
great to be able to immediately play a Rhapsody recommendation in
Spotify.
Also, when I post a text based link to Twitter, like Some song - Some
artist, it would be great to be able to somehow be able to use that
text when triggering a search towards Spotify. So if someone has posted
a song as text I can easily pick it up in iPeng and search for it in
Spotify and start to play it.
And when I share something in my local library to Twitter, it would be
great to have a try to find Spotify link option which I could select
and it would then try to find the corresponding track in Spotify and
include that in the Twitter post. This could possibly be used also for
the above Spotify vs Rhapsody problem, making it possible to search for
the Rhapsody track in Spotify Metadata API and publish both a Spotify
and Rhapsody link to Twitter.
Something that might also be of interest is to be able to share albums
and not just individual songs.
Finally, it would feel interesting to get some kind of integration to
one of these playlist sharing sites. There are a number of them but I'm
not sure which is most commonly used as it so far has been too
complicated to share playlists and listen to playlists that has been
shared through the Squeezebox.

material while iPeng is using it to make it easier for us to recommend
music to each other. I can agree that so far it might not seem much
different but believe me it will if this progresses as I hope.
I've big problems with Facebook/Twitter functionality creeping into the
system for marketing reasons, exactly as you've done I've removed the
ones made by Logitech from my system since they don't offer anything
music related to me. However, when the focus is on the music it's a lot
more interesting.
But I agree that there has to be more to make it really usable, I've
barely got any music recommendations through mail, Twitter and Facebook
so far, it happens a bit more often through Skype/MSN/ICQ/Google Talk
and through the Music section of this and other forums, but in most
cases it happens when discussing with friends and my main problem is
that often I've forgotten the recommendation before I get back home to
the Squeezebox. So some kind of functionality to make it easier to
remember recommendations would be great.
Something else that really would make the difference to me would be
some integration with a playlist sharing service. But besides simple
playlist sharing it also needs to have the possibility to browse and
search to find what you are interested in.

I feel the FB option less useful, more involved, and I plan on dropping my little presence on FB down to 0 some time in the future. So an iPeng preference page like: Social/on-off - FB on/off - email on/off - would be just fine imho.

I just don't like things I am not using at all cluttering up my system. If I want to use Facebook or Twitter there are a lot of options that work better than the Squeezebox eco-system. Now iPeng forces this functionality back into my music system. Guess for me it means I will use SqueezePad more often than iPeng. I hope Bluegaspode will not get the idea he needs to integrate this functionality in his program too How does it force you to use it? Also, this is not about using iPeng as a general facebook or twitter client, there is no sense in that. But here are two thoughts from my side: 1. Please be honest: if you want just bare-to-the-bones Squeezebox Remote capabilities with no additional bells ans whistles, especially on iPhone, you would not buy iPeng anymore, you would use the free Logitech App. While it can be a nuisance on some Android devices and doesn't make good use of the iPad screen it works fine on an iPhone 4. The fact that the iPad version of this iPeng release came first has nothing to do with iPad/iPhone but only with the fact that after submitting I found a bug that made it crash on pre-3.2 versions of iOS which doesn't affect the iPad. 2. I felt a personal need for this functionality because I found I'm having two music collections again: one consisting of links of stuff friends recommended to me and then the old stuff in my library. I found that the former made a significant portion of my listening and there was _NO WAY_ I could listen to this stuff on my Squeezebox. This problem had a number of aspects: * YouTube, SoundCloud and rd.io links didn't work. Fortunately Triode fixed this for YouTube. This aspect maybe made like 50% of the problem. * But the other 50% of the problem were just as bad: There was absolutely no way to play recommendation links from others on a Squeezebox (with the exception of internal Spotify links which nobody uses). Even if you use Spotify on your SB, if somebody sends you one of these links e.g. Spotify creates (open.spotify.com), you can't play it on a Squeezebox. You can't go and paste it into the Web Interface, it doesn't work. What you have to do is this: you have to play the link on a Computer or phone and find out what it is, then you SEARCH for this again using one of your remotes and then you play it. I don't know about you, but this dis-qualifies it for me and what this meant is that, like my CD player, my Squeezebox started to be a system for legacy music. This essentially would mean that sooner or later I would have removed it from my home and replaced it with something that DOES play my new music, too, with other words an iWhatever or AirWhatever thingy. I wasn't prepared to let that happen without even trying to fight it. Now, with iPeng, even if you don't use Twitter or Facebook or iPeng's mail links, you can at least copypaste a link into iPeng's URL:... menu item and play it. So if you don't want to use it, hey, that's absolutely OK. I fully understand if getting links from others or browsing web sites containing links to learn about new music isn't among the ways how you discover new music or you are happy with your existing music, this probably has no use for you. But please accept that it might do so for others. I know that the functionality at it's current state is not perfect, there are a lot of things I'd like to add: more flexible browsing, so that you can use e.g. music blogs as well, more flexible sharing to allow for sharing from a browse menu or for Albums/Playlists. Maybe even having a sharing service (not for the music, just for the links) and to include ways to share stuff from your own library (again: I'm not talking about illegal/not illegal music sharing, just making it accessible). But features like that have to evolve, it's to complex to get it right the first time so I wanted to get it out and collect feedback, it was hard enough to get the stuff behind the scenes going for what is there now. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com
Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Pippin, At the time I bought iPeng the Logitech app was not available yet. And your program beats the functionality of the Logitech app by miles. Don't get me wrong, I really like it. The term force is a bit strong I know but I could not find a better word for it. I just don't like the way every program nowadays links to sites like Facebook and Twitter and I prefer not to use it. I am worried about my privacy. I understand your reasoning and your need for it. The only thing I ask for is an easy way to hide all references to Facebook and Twitter functionality.

You can guess what my reaction was when Steve Jobs announced that IOS 5 will have more built in integration with Facebook and Twitter . :) Only Twitter. And it makes things like this simply a bit easier. But don't get it wrong: the big thing about this update, from a technical standpoint is not the Twitter and Facebook clients. That's some standard code for Twitter and an authorization screen and some icons for facebook. The big thing is being able to play content from a link and to detect links in web sites (and Squeezebox content, with some limitations that lie in their implementation all of this even works with Logitech's facebook App), to be able to play these links, and to be able to create links others can play to share stuff with them. Facebook and Twitter (and E-Mail) are just ways to get the communication into iPeng so you don't have to use cut and paste for links.

Many thanks for the features in this new update, very useful (imo).
One minor problem with the Wikipedia look-up though, if the search
'string' contains an ampersand (''), it cannot read it, or past it.
For example, I searched the song 'For Me My Gal', and only got
results for 'For Me'.
And additionally, I have a reqest for an added feature on the Wikipedia
subject if at all possible. Would it be possible for available searches
for 'Composer' or other additional fields?

Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Oops (). Thanks. Will need to encode the query. On the Composer: I plan to make this more flexible but starting with just the composer might indeed be a good idea. Could you file tickets for these? Sorry, can't post link right now. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Is it done by selecting Share This on the context menu? I have done this several times while music is playing and I have various tracks selected in my playlist.

Re: [slim] iPeng update: Let your Squeezebox get Social
Umm... It doesn't even bring up share by mail? Then it's nothing to do with the service... Actually it's really strange. What are you listening to? Sounds like the title information parsing returns something illegal or so. It should at least allow you to share Title, Artist and Album via Mail, if Twitter or Facebook is enabled also through these. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
