Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
I just installed Squeezeplay on Windows. Some feedback... The right mouse button should work as the "Back" arrow button on the Jive remote. It's easy to go into a menu with no way back out without resorting to the cursor keys on the keyboard. So right clicking should bring me back "up" through the menu structure towards home.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
Sorry to turn this into some sort of bug reporting thread, but I've noticed that Squeezeplay's audio will occasionally stutter when I'm performing scrolling in Firefox. I may peg the CPU for a 1 or 2 seconds, but it's enough to cause a stutter. I fixed this by changing the priority of the Squeezeplay process up to RealTime. However this is risky, as I wouldn't be able to kill the process if it locked up. Also, for some reason Squeezeplay has inherited the same stutter 10 seconds from the end of each song that Softsqueeze has had for some time now. Softsqueeze used to play fine, but it now stutters to the point that I no longer use it. Squeezeplay also consistently stutters 10seconds from the end of each track. I'm guessing that it's caused by the app pulling in data from the next track. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

I used Squeezeplay on my PC for the first time today. After playing around for a couple of hours i starting to wonder exactly what the design brief is here? It's basically just the controller on my PC - but why would i want that? It's a great on the SBC, but it's menu structure and UI seems really really strange for a desktop app - very clunky, partly because it's primary aim is controlling players.

Switch to the desktop skin 2. Enable audio playback in Squeezeplay, as you did on the Controller itself I think Tom will be working this week to make these the default behaviour when you install Squeezeplay. Hopefully it will make more sense then. Note the desktop skin is just draft at the moment, and needs our UI team to make another pass at it.

I dont know how to really explain this but i will try again; My Controller is a controller - it controls the players in my house. It also plays music now, but thats not it primary function (at least not what it's UI). What i want on my PC's, like Softsqueeze, is a player - not a Controller (which has the ability to act as a player). The SBc is a Controller, the SB3 is a player. I want a player on my PC, like Softsqueeze was. Squeezeplay is apparently replacing Softsqueeze. is it a player that can controller your SB's, or is it a Control app that can play music?

SoftSqueeze was great as a product tester, but is not really what I have in mind when listening to music on my pc.

One day I was messing around with SqueezePlay, while at the same time, playing music on my computer through J River Media Center. I have one of those keyboards with built-in media keys, and when I suddenly heard music playing on one of the Squeezeboxes in another room, I realized SqueezePlay was responding to the media keys on my keyboard to control the SB. I didn't do anything to set this up... it just worked. I found that a bit surprising. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
The latest SqueezePlay betas actually have a real setting for audio playback and seem to work quite a bit better. The player is more "permanent"--although I've had strange behavior where it might take a minute or two for SqueezeCenter to see the player, and for the SqueezePlay player to be controllable through the SqueezePlay interface. I also enjoy the play controls on the latest desktop skin. SqueezePlay is already more stable for me in remote listening than SoftSqueeze had gotten--the latter was stopping mid-song a lot, and usually needed to be restarted to get it playing. With SqueezePlay, I've had a few stutters--and jumps after coming back from a paused song that's been paused for a long time (say, lunch) but overall it's been rock solid. And cover art is quite nice too. -- mrfantasy --Mike http://last.fm/user/mrfantasy mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

I'm a software engineer, and have developed a very 'keyboard centric' way of working. I try to avoid having to touch the mouse if I can avoid it, it just slows me down. With SqueezePlay controlling the SoftSqueeze instance no my PC, it's very simple to ALT-TAB to SqueezePlay, use the keyboard to navigate and select some more music, change volume etc. I can't do a lot of that with the keyboard alone using SoftSqueeze, and virtually none of it using the web interface.

TCP only will work with SoftSqueeze but not Squeezeplay.) I had a problem in Vista with keyboard shortcuts if you didn't run SqueezePlay as administrator. You might also have the problem in XP, which I assume you're running at work. This happened even though I'm an administrator on my desktop. Also, when you install a new build, make sure you not only uninstall the old one but check for files in c:\Program Files\SqueezePlay. I had a bunch of lua files left behind, and it seems if those are inconsistent things don't work, notably audio playback. Also, perhaps unrelated, I had my home IP address change, and I had to reenter it in SqueezePlay, but to get it to actually change it, I had to remove all the application files as above. It'd be nice if you could identify a player by DNS name (I have a dynamic DNS host set up for my home address) Selecting audio playback is now done in Settings/Advanced/Audio Playback/Enable Playback (BETA). Hope something here helps. I'm guessing you either have the UDP port issue or the old install conflict thing going on, since I've seen similar symptoms due to those issues. -- mrfantasy --Mike http://last.fm/user/mrfantasy mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Shutdown SqueezePlay 3. Uninstall SqueezePlay 4. Clear out the install folder (there were a few 'settings.lua' files, and the log files in the top directory) 5. Download the latest SqueezePlay (dated 29th Oct, 01:07) 6. Install this 7. Run it 8. Hold down 'left cursor' to get to the top menu 9. Go to 'Settings->Music Source->Other server' 10. Enter my IP address 11. It goes back to the 'Music Source' menu, with the name of my server in there 12. Go to this server, and use the right cursor to select it. All I get is the noise that implies that I'm doing something wrong. I've got further than this before though I'm sure. 13. Now, if I go up to the top and do 'Select player' all I get is the SB2 in my house 14. Go into 'Settings->Advanced->Audio Playback' and turn it on. 15. Back to the top level and into 'Choose Player'. Still only see the SB2 in my house. No evidence through my firewall logs of any packets being dropped. Any thoughts? It's connected to the server enough to be able to browse my music. Could it be because the server already knows about the instance of SoftSqueeze in the same remote location?

Ok, I've now got a 'SqueezePlay' item listed in the players. However, if I try to select this and go to my server, it tries to connect for a while, then comes up with 'Problem Connecting'. Around the time it gives up, my firewall logs the following packet: Oct 30 10:14:11 gently kernel: FWIn: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=82.5.225.118 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=3483 DPT=3483 LEN=24 This appears to be a UDP broadcast going out from port 3483 on eth0 (the interface that connects to my cable modem).

Honestly, I've been running 7.3 for nearly a month now, and it's fine for day-to-day use with my SB2. The biggest issue was the broken scanner but that doesn't affect people just using the player, and it's fixed now anyway.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
I just noticed that in the latest index page the OSX disk images "appear" to have a build number associated with the file names.

I'm almost sure that 7.3r0 is currently the latest version, but from the index page one can't tell if it is the latest build.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
I am having an interesting issue with SqueezePlay. It is occurring with todays build for both the server and SqueezePlay (both XP). If I play FLAC files it will play or a random number of songs (say 3 to 7) before briefly flashing up a a message at the bottom that say re-buffering. The message goes away, the time counter continues to run up a bit and then falls back over and over and no audio is produced. If I skip to the next song (or start the current one over again) it will play again for while then the same thing. I set bit rate limiting to 128 and it has run all day with no issues. This is all hard wired on a switched 100Mbit network. It is reproducible by turning off the bit rate limiting.

You need to switch to the Desktop skin. At the moment you can do that in 'Settings > Select Skin'. Tom is working on making this the default on the desktop.

I'm using today's builds for SP and SqueezeCenter (Version: 7.3 - 23911 @ Wed Nov 12) and the sound blip is still there. SqueezePlay is running on a desktop computer connected to the server router via a wireless card, both systems are using XP, SP3. Wireless connection reports 54 Mbps and excellent signal strength. What I've noticed: when playing an album the transfer rate to the PC averages 1 Mbps(FLAC) for all tracks. It drops to 0 at about 37 seconds from the end of a track. At 10 seconds remaining there is a spike to 10 Mbps and this is when the sound cuts out briefly. Network transfer quickly goes back to 1 Mbps. Both the server and client PC show no more than 15% CPU utilization throughout. I've also not been able to stream more than four or five tracks without SqueezePlay cutting out.

The "have to do language each time" is not meant to be the behavior. That should only happen until you have completed a first time setup. Perhaps setup was never completed. Recently changes went out that would cause a full reset to happen if you had been using earlier betas, which forces you to complete setup again. If you haven't already, try selecting the language then, rather than doing Left Hold, follow the next step which should be select player. After selecting a player, it should give a setup complete message, something like: "That's it". Then you should no longer see the language selection. Let us know if that works. Even if this fixes your issue, it sounds like an area for improvement on our part. Regarding the fullscreen, I made a new bug related to the issue: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10057 In a nutshell, command line fullscreen will be supported soon. -- Planktonic Tom Wadzinski Logitech Developer - SqueezePlay Personal - 'JRMC SBC Applet' (http://code.google.com/p/yars-jrmc-remote-server-plugin/) Planktonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18548 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Well, I think you are right that I'm not finishing the setup, but I can't figure out how to. From language it goes to the "Welcome, lets get started by getting you connected to your network and music" screen asking me to press the 'Center button' however none of the keys on my keyboard will allow me to move forward. The only thing that works is back. It has remembered my server, and initially shows the wallpaper of the last player I used. I have tried deleting the settings folder under my home directory it creates but it seems to make no difference, it still remembers my server and behaves the same.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
Not sure if this has been answered elsewhere, but anyway... is it possible to run Squeezeplay as a service (headless)? If not, is it planned. I will never want to use Squeezeplays UI on my PC, even with the desktop skin, the value for me would be being able to to control my PC with the Controller. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic -> Cambridge Audio Azur 640a -> Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver -> Trends TA10.1 Class-T -> Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze -> Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller -> Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3b (Vista 64) + AlienBBC, iPlayer & MusicIP headless.

I only installed it for the first time a couple weeks ago and used it for a couple of hours while I was doing some mass tagging on my PC. Have not touched it since. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

That's been asked for before, and is on the list but right now it's not a top priority. Patches welcome!

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SqueezePlay
Autopilot: What functionality is missing from SqueezeSlave? I have two Duet Receivers, one Duet Controller and I run SqueezeSlave on my Ubuntu server (in my exercise room with a pair of powered speakers). I haven't yet noticed a function missing from SqueezeSlave. --Dean L. Surkin -- Dean L. Surkin Dean L.
