That means iPeng is not running anymore. Either it has been in the background for more than one hour or you did not enable the "keep connection" setting.
iPeng has to permanently run in the background to catch incoming phone calls, no way around it. It costs battery.

Actually it's the expected behavior, chances are whenever Apple realized what the "keep connection" option does they are asking me to remove it altogether. > > When iPeng does not display the cover art, I have found that iPeng is > still listed as a running app, > That's a common misunderstanding about how iOS works. The Apps in the Task bar are NOT running Apps, it's just a list of the last Apps you've used. Almost all of them will usually be completely suspended (exceptions: music Apps actually playing, VOIP Apps, location Apps). Out of the suspended one, all but the last few will even be completely terminated and thrown out of memory, depending on how much memory they require in the background an how much memory foreground Apps need. > > yet when calling it with a touch of the icon, I've got the blue penguin > load screen as if it were starting from scratch. > _That_ also doesn't mean anything. I haven't figured out when it comes up and when it doesn't but it definitely even sometimes shows up when the App was fully running in the background, e.g. when playing locally. -- 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=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
