So for 1.3.x, I would expect that Orange Squeeze would keep the local SqueezePlayer active for as long as Orange Squeeze has a connection to the server. This means that if you are using widgets, any time your screen is on your device will maintain a connection to your server and also keep your local SqueezePlayer running. If you turn your screen off or it times out and turns off automatically, Orange Squeeze will time its server connection out to save power, and it will also cease to keep SqueezePlayer alive. SqueezePlayer can then time out according to its own policies then. As discussed earlier, killing Orange Squeeze (e.g. its services) will cause this behavior to stop -- at least temporarily. However, because the Orange Squeeze power management service is sticky, it may be restarted by the system automatically. The reason for this is that if your device is under load or memory constraints, then even the services that you want running may be killed by the system. This is a good thing, because it lets you play games or do things that consume all of the device resources and then sticky services will be restarted at the first opportunity so that your widgets and such will start working again automatically. While the power management service will be restarted automatically, I want to reiterate that this service is very lightweight and is nothing like a server connection at all. Note that for 1.3.x, every time a connection is established, the local SqueezePlayer instance will also be started if that is enabled in the Orange Squeeze preferences. Right now this happens for every reconnect, including reconnects for the lock screen widget, etc. I'll have to think about how to improve this behavior, because it probably isn't necessary in a few limited scenarios (widgets active for different players). However, when the user opens up the UI again we would want the player started up automatically, I suppose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 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
