One issue: if the server sends a reply after you send a new one (additional characters), the first response overrides the second one. The way around is to wait a second or so before pressing "search".

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Squeezebox Server 7.4 beta versions of erlands plugins
OK, I tried TrackStat, DP, SQLP and CB on my Ubuntu server and while it slowed down the server dramatically during startup (I'll send you a log, took 15min or so to start - without scanning) after that everything seems to work fine. The log file is full of ridiculous comments (not only from your plugins), e.g. on "no space available". Since that's not true I assume some permission conflict.

Maybe some basics on how the Squeezebox works: A Squeezebox is a "dumb" device and ALWAYS needs a server to work, it can't do anything without one. This server is either SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork. iPeng also ONLY talks to the server, never to the player itself. The controller can talk to the player itself, but only for configuration purposes, you can't play music or anything with it. So yes, until you start SC, iPeng can't see your player. What you CAN do, is to switch your player to SqueezeNetwork (that's more or less a SqueezeCenter on the internet), but you'll have to do that before you shut down the server. Have a look at the SvrPowerControl plugin if you want to have it done automatically. If you do that, you will have to connect iPeng to SqueezeNetwork as well to see your player.

On my controller, I can select a player and it will show all players, even the ones on SN (the next iPeng version will do that, too). Then I can select the player and I will get connected to that player, and the controller will switch to that server, too (the next iPeng version will do that, too). Now if you want to switch the source for that player (say, from SC to SN), I have to go to "Settings->Music Source" and select the other Music Source there. THEN, the Player AND the Controller will switch to the other source (the Controller is always connected to the same source as the player). In iPeng, that's currently a two-step process: You first have to switch the Player to the other source and THEN you can switch iPeng. You can switch iPeng immediately to the other source, but there will be no player connected to it, then. I don't claim it's particularly convenient (especially with only a single player) and as I said, it will work a lot better in the next version. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Have you read through the page I linked? I guess your top bar shows an "m", right? Could you toggle it until it shows a ">" (not ">|") and try again?

You have full access to the database on the device, so it would be technically possible to announce your library on the network and control the iPhone/iTouch from SC with a plugin but then you have to use the analog output. So, yes, if someone writes that plugin I'd include some code in iPeng and I would help specifying something (protocol, etc), but I'm definitely not going to do the Perl part.

No matter what you do. iPeng communicates quite a bit back and forth and it does keep at least one connection open. There is a flag to say you are a "WiFi" app and if that's set, it will not be turned off. Yet in 2.x this meant you could not communicate through cellular at all, it meant you REQUIRE WiFi. 3.0 fixes this so the next release will use the flag. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If SqueezeCenter runs on your computer: I believe yes. I'm doing this quite a bit for testing except for the "connect receiver directly" part. You will have to set up a WiFi P2P network on your computer and joing your iPhone/iTouch to this and you will need to use a crosslink cable to connect your Receiver to the Computer. And you will probably have to set IP addresses manually, but I'm not sure about that.

A lot of people have things like "blablabla1, blablabla2,..." in their track names. Landscape mode is plannend but all views have to support it before it really works. As opposed to what Apple makes you believe, all their default controllers disable landscape mode so you have to subclass them all to make this work.

I have to admit I didn't try 7.3.4 so far and 7.4 beta definitely does NOT work with the current iPeng release. One thing: Have you already moved a player to SC before you switch the server in iPeng? That's currently a 2-step action, you switch players between SC and SN using the "Globe" icon. And the player does have to be connected to the SC once before you can do that. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That happens when you hold an item on the iPhone/iTouch start screen
("Springboard") for a second or so. While it jiggles, you can move the
icon around to rearrange them. If you press the "x", the App gets

Have you checked for any of these issues, especially the "player without name" issue? http://penguinlovesmusic.de/ipeng-the-iphone-skin-for-squeezecenter/how-to-use-the-ipeng-application/known-issues/ With SC 7.3.3 iPeng 1.1.2 has been very stable. Yet as I said: no idea about 7.3.4. What I DON'T fully understand is, what you mean by "kick back to settings page". Does iPeng crash? Or do you mean the iPeng settings page. If it's the latter it may just be iPeng trying to launch on a page that isn't there (because you've never been connected to SC before). In this case it probably helps to move to another tab (say, "Artists"), quit iPeng and restart. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

In that case the workaround is what you did: uninstalling and re-installing the app. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
No, you don't need a pc for iPeng. There's two versions.: The free plugin, which unfortunately doesn't work with iPhone 3.0 right now. This can be installed in SC using the extension downloader. It's a mixture of template toolkit (a kind of perl for the browser), html, css and java script. Then there's the commercial App Store app (8 Euro) which you install directly on the iPod. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

There is an option in SqueezeCenter where you can define whether SC searches only from the start of a phrase or also within the phrase. Could it be that? Also, there's an issue in iPeng that it may drop the latest server feedback in favor of earlier ones, but this should give you MORE results, not LESS.

In the latter case it should work if you can set up a wireless P2P-Network from the laptop, iPeng only needs to talk to the laptop.

You have to add an exception to your browser to accept the SSL certificate of the site. Noting bad to happen, you are not adding any real personal data you could lose. No guarantees given that I don't forget the bug without a ticket. On the usage of the current menu: The TrackInfo menu is supposed to only come up on "i" mode, that it comes up on "+" and ">|" is a bug. For the SqueezePlay menus (inverted "mode" icons) the logic is that ">" stands for the "play" button on the controller, "+" for the "+" button and "++" for holding the plus button. Hard to do a better logic since iPeng doesn't really know the functionality of these butttons (for example they'll change in 7.4 compared to 7.3). Now "++" in the context of playing things often means "add next", should, btw, also work on the "play" menu item. As I said, this is supposed to be different... -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's almost done, I believe functionality wise it will go into the last beta round this week and then I'll check whether I'll also add some of the enhancement requests from open tickets. Apart from that I try to get as close as possible to the official 7.4 release since I still even today see changes that break things in the current implementation on a weekly basis. It simply doesn't make sense to release anything for a server that still has that kind of a change rate, it would mean if I release it today it probably still won't work with a then-current 7.4 build once it reaches the App Store. It's been a while since I had issues that were fatal (like crashing the app) but having features unavailable hurts as well. My biggest concern right now is that if the 7.4 implementation stays as it is right now you will not be able to switch a player from SC to SN with iPeng, you'd have to do that on the player (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13826). I hope there will be a change that allows this, but this, for example, would have to be something to implement, at least as long as it's different from 7.3's solution. -- 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=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The good thing is you can start playback from the app itself because it has some basic library browsing. The downside is that I could not make it play with security on so it's not really an option for remote use. -- 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=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This looks a bit like they want to run SC as a server on the device, which would be a kind of TinySC. You should be able to control that through iPeng, then.

You are right, this fixed it. What do you mean about iPeng? iPeng works with security, csrf doesn't have any effect there. But that's maybe because it doesn't use the json/rpc interface. -- 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=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

No, they won't. There's an open ticket for a "Screen Saver" interface for iPeng 1.2.5 or 1.3 that should work like that.
