Peng still works with SC 7.3.x And I believe it's a worthwhile update for 7.3 users, too. The context menus will not work as well with 7.3 as with 7.4 because there's a lot of functionality that's not yet there in 7.3 but that's new 7.4 functionality anyway and I have also spent considerable effort to get 7.3 as close as possible. Also, the Music Services will still be under "Radios" and not under "Apps" obviously and lack the new functionality you can get there (especially context menus, again). You also only can put them on the main menu with 7.4. So if you don't feel like going to 7.4 take your time. 7.4 does have some teething problems, although I believe it will eventually be worthwhile and some of these are not as bas with iPeng as without (iPeng _does_ have TrackInfo on NowPlaying and the current playlist also with 7.4 although some menu entries do not work correctly and it's a bit more easy to switch between SBS and MySB. markstrom;464126 Wrote: > 1.

Could you file a ticket for this so that I not forget to fix it? https://trac.penguinlovesmusic.de/trac/ipengnat/ 2. Yes, well, that's how D'n'D on iPhone is... It's a bit hard to do with only "touch" as a control... You can also sync by selecting the players you want to sync and pressing the "sync" button on the lower toolbar. 3. This is strange and should not be. I also haven't seen that. Are you sure they are still synced? Sometimes it can take a short while until server feedback about sync/mode actions (move means: to another server) comes in ans therefore there can be a jumping back and forth but it should eventually do as commanded. 4. rearranging players is not purely accidental but let's say it's not an advertised feature because there are quite a lot of situations where it will not work (the sort order will change on it's own, that is). It's extremely ahrd to get around that because what I see is that the server sometimes sporadically "forgets" about a player and brings it back later and you have to react to that because it could well have been a change through a different interface. You could also file a ticket on the "rearrange to first place" thing and I'll investigate but right now I am not sure whether I maybe intentionally ignored the lack because you can still move the first item to second place. pichonCalavera;464129 Wrote: > I just played with it only for a few minutes, but the ability to grab > some items and delete them in the Now Playing screens is the highlight > for me and it's great!! > > Any chance that a future update will allow to move many items too? Actually that's something where I tried to get my head around recently (although for players, not tracks). Would a logic to mark several items and move them together if you move one of them be somehow intuitive? That would make for a great ticket then :D Rest;464105 Wrote: > Nice!

Well, if you ask like _that_ I can't give you an answer. iPeng still supports it and it works better than in 1.1.2 yet I have never had any issues with this feature, it works fine with my controller as well. So if people are experiencing issues I believe it's either a) they lost/changed their library settings and don't have a music library set anymore (but use only iTunes or MusicIP integration) b) there is some kind of issue with 7.4 and music folder browsing that I never encountered. I can't promise anything on b) :D -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
