This should be fixed in 9.3.4 although we'll have another small fix around it in 9.4.

Actually iPeng never makes any assumptions about the volume and doesn't store it, the server is the volume master, only the server's volume counts. However, there are a few edge cases: 1. If you have iPeng's player activated, then the server _still_ owns the volume but there's also a volume level outside iPeng and you might not want your iPhone's system volume permanently changed after leaving iPeng so iPeng remembers the volume level the iPhone was at before you entered it and restores it. 2. People want to use lock-screen controls and hardware buttons as well as remote control events with iPeng. These, however, inevitably also change the system volume, something iPeng needs to compensate. This is what should work better in 9.3.4, in some cases (app switching being one) iOS 11 broke the way iPeng detected volume changes before. > > Second - since approximately four weeks, iPeng takes very long to > identfiy the Squeezebox server and all connected players after a fresh > start of the app. The device overview is empty for approx 10 seconds, > then it finds the players and shows them (and most of the times, it > directly changes the volume (see my first issue) and turns it down a > notch. > > While I love iPeng, especially the second issue really starts to get > annoying - as I am using iPeng as a remote, it is not acceptable to wait > for 10 seconds to access my Squeezebox players. > iPeng detects the server through the server responding to discovery messages - this can tale a while if the server doesn't immediately respond. In addition, iPeng also tries to connect to the latest server AND the latest player it used. If any of those are not available (e.g. because the server has changed addresses or the player has become unavailable) it can take a while until iPeng decides it can now safely forget what it used before. This especially applies to using iPeng as a player because after iPeng's player connects the server needs a while to also report it so iPeng needs to wait that out. --- 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=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
