Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
When I use Squeezecommander to browse through my music on my Nexus 7, it doesn't show any songs. It lists artist and albums, but am unable to select a song. The logitech app and Orange Squeeze don't exhibit this problem.

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
Do I understand correctly - the Wandboard will actually be a part of the final design? I thought it was being talked about in the context of some kind of proof of concept or reference design from which the SB clone would be built.

Monday is a holiday so i can probably start putting together the layout of the Gen0.5 board. The size of the module is going to dictate the size of the board, there is going to be a lot of empty space on Gen0.5. Gen1 gets more interesting, more stuff and it has to be the carrier for both the wandboard module and the wifi module. Its kind of looking like a 4x3 inch board now. John S.

There is the http://sonopad.com/ app from bluegaspode which could be an option if you like SqueezePad for Squeezebox, but except for this I suspect you will have to rely on whatever app Sonos provides themselves. I think Sonos can be great, but you have to accept that you are limited to the functionality Sonos provides themselves, they don't have the third party development community and never will unless they completely change how they interact with third party developers. So, if you just want something stable, Sonos is probably a good choice, if you want something that continuously offers you new way to explore the music you want to wait and see what the market comes up with during the next year or so. Someone is likely going to try to fill parts of the hole Logitech has left behind, there are too many customers who are willing to pay for functionality in this market segment for it to just disappear. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97440 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] No competition for Sonos! :-(
I bought a Sonos connect to test the system - and see if I should change over to them. I must admit I really like it. Even with Squeezeplug, my SB system sometimes drove me nuts, being slow and unresponsive. Troubles with the server. In a perfect world Sonos would not have the 65k limit, but I guess I can work around it. The Sonos is just so stable and fast. Also at the moment I can get very good money for my SBs, which would make the migration easy. I just do not want to loose my investment and Sonos looks like it he to stay. The apps are great, even if not as cool as iPeng, but maybe there will be an iSonos app someday. I want to get more streamers and buying more SBs just does not feel right at the moment. Still got time to test, but it looks like Sonos finally got me...

Re: [slim] Puzzled about iPlayer problem
Just checked and its working fine for me - SB3 and 7.7.2. The iplayer app is installed on LMS not the SB3 - not sure if it can be separately installed on a Touch.

Re: [slim] Puzzled about iPlayer problem
For SB3 you need the BBCiPlayer plugin on your LMS. So you need to look at the Settings/plugin page on your LMS web interface.

[slim] Puzzled about iPlayer problem
My SB3 has not been working for some BBC stations for listen again. Radio4, Radio4Extra and 6Music only show "empty" when trying to browse programs. Listen live works ok on all stations. I've checked the xml from the BBC and radio 4 looks ok. As my Touch is working fine with iPlayer for these (all) stations, this is looking like an SB3 problem. I am running 7.7.2 (just upgraded), updated the firmware on both the SB3 and Touch and did a factory reset on the SB3. I've tried to remove the iPlayer app from the SB3, but there is no option for this - it doesn't appear in the App Gallery to uninstall and then reinstall. Any help with this would be very appreciated.

Re: [slim] Sonos "PlayBar"...
Read the specs here http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/playbar It will stream music via wi fi like any other Sonos and is also designed to upgrade the audio of an HD TV via an optical cable. The blurb then goes on to say that with the one connection to the TV it will play the audio from a Sat box (or similar) connected to your TV. How? My recent Samsung Smart TV doesn't output external source analogue sound through its optical out. d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98096 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Sonos "PlayBar"...
Guessing with TV off it has WiFi all by itself for Sonos playback. Like their Sonos speaker boxes. Why would you need HDMI out from TV? All you will get from TV audio is 2ch and (at best) 5.1ch digital lossy audio. The bar is to be used in place of a full surround and/or to boost the TV's weak speakers. Though you could still do full surround from a source (like sat/cable box) to an AVR when you wanted it. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98096 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Sonos "PlayBar"...
It can play music with TV off - that is not in doubt. They say that to get sound from the TV (and connected devices) you just need one optical connection. That implies that TVs have digital passthrough and doesn't have one of those asterix that point to small print that says "if your TV supports it. My bedroom HD TV doesn't even have an optical out only a coax digital out. Is it normal for current TVs to have digital audio passthrough? d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98096 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
