Re: [slim] MusicIP development... stalled???
MIP has always worked flawlessly for me, and everyone I show it to thinks it's an amazing concept. I do think there's an opportunity here for Logitech to embed it more deeply within SC (making it easier to setup and install). No idea if this fits their long term strategy or is even a possibility, but can only say that I also wouldn't install an update which removed MIP functionality.

[slim] Napster UK Subscription details
I've been enjoying the 31 day free napster subscription on my SB2 and my recently acquired SB boom. The free offer is about to expire over the weekend and have decided to go for one of the monthly subscription offers. Having read a little about this there looks to be 2 choices: Napster to go: allows unlimited downloads to 3 PCs and transfer to one of the compatible MP3 players (right now you get a free one as part of the subscription). £15 per month. Napster unlimited: the same as Napster to go but without the transfers to an MP3 player. £10 per month. I think I read both of these should work with SB streaming? I also read that bitrates for music from napster are 128kbit/s streamed and 192kbit/s downloaded? (i.e. the downloaded tracks would offer higher quality) The question I've not found an answer to is if I download a track to my PC (using either of the above subscription options), would I be able to play the downloaded tracks on my squeezeboxes and therefore get the better quality - or would the DRM protection prevent this in both cases? -- PaulR PaulR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1220 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62267 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB1 syncing tips?
awy;414011 Wrote: ...and I have no idea what Spicefly SugarCube does. Sugarcube is an on-the-fly extension to MusicIP, which adds a new song to the end of the playlist based on the current song playing. It seems like a natural candidate for these delays, but it looks like it makes the calculation after the song starts. I have the sync delay set at 1 second currently, which appears to be enough as I played music for about 2 hours last night and I only experienced the delay with a couple of songs. If I experience more I may make it longer. I don't know if there may have been other issues related to this problem, or if they were caused by some combination of the plugins, but I did experience the following problems: After removing the plugins last night the nightly rescan appears to have blown up the database, sending Squeezecenter into a crash loop, but it is rebuilding now. And since I added the SB1, I did notice the occasional complete disconnect in stream information, where Squeezecenter will report a completely different song playing opposite the actual song that is playing. This may be a side effect of the sync delay. I've noticed Squeezecenter having trouble with shuffling the playlist right before the track changes, but generally it would just stall, not play the wrong song. Also, as I noticed earlier, sometimes the SB1 would just drop the audio output, but would otherwise be functioning normally according to its own feedback and Squeezecenter. All that said I consider this issue resolved. I'm always impressed at the underlying engineering that went into the Squeezecenter design. The fact that the remote architecture is such that my SB1, SB3 and Boom remotes are all interchangeable, and that the SB1, with its outdated underlying hardware is still viable client which can leverage the latest server, is further testament to this. I also appreciate the help from the community and Logitech which has helped me make the most of this system.

No Mixers available should show up when you use the m mode on an Album or an Artist and no mixers are registered. In which menus do you see the message? Don't get confused by the Play Shuffled message on top of track lists, this doesn't mean you have to play the tracks shuffled, but - like on the iPod Application - this is a shortcut to enable shuffle and play the whole album. You can play the album straight from the first track by switching to play mode () and selecting the first track. If you still get a shuffled list, you probably set the shuffle mode on the NowPlaying screen (tap the big cover art to get an overlay to change the mode). -- 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=62245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Tune in URL to run a local program?
Hello, since you are already using DVB-Viewer it's just a small step from there :) I recommend you check out DVB-Viewer's 'Recording Service', which is a small application that runs on just about any PC and doesn't need many resources. I have it up and running on the same machine that I am running Squeezecenter on and it serves my needs just perfectly. One of its nicest features is the ability to receive 'http-get commands' to which it answers with the requested DVB-stream. Here's an example: Let's say you have BBC Radio 1 stored on channel number 25 in DVB Viewer's channelist. All you have to do is add a favorite to Squeezecenter's favorite list with the following URL: http://serverip:port/upnp/channelstream/25.mp2 Selecting this entry will stream the requested audio to your player. That's it. No plugin required whatsoever and it works flawlessly. I suggest you check out the DVB Viewer user forum on http://www.dvbviewer.info/forum/index.php?showforum=34 to find out more.

Great work Pippin! I ended up staying up late last night playing with the new version. That problem with volume due to IR Blaster settings was weird, thanks for sorting that out. Website is looking nicer too. Regarding the undocumented feature (love it!), you mention above that just turning on the screen should be enough to make the hardware buttons work, but I find that I have to fully wake up the iPhone for them to work. Maybe I need to activate Keep connection active (this just occurred to me)? I don't see where to access the Lyrics plugin is. I remember this was available from the track info page of the ipeng Safari skin. I don't see it under Extras, which is where one finds it in the Browser UI. No access to track info from the playlist view yet? This is where it would be most useful to me. Looking ahead in the current random or dynamic playlist and editing, or adding adjoining songs from the same album/live recording as one of the random tracks. Another minor problem I'm sure you can help me with. I want to change out the generic grayscale cover art image for something more colorful, since I see it all the time in my large collection of unreleased live recordings. See this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62228 In iPeng 1.0, replacing cover.png in the Browser UI Default skin HTML also changed the generic image in iPeng Now Playing, though not in the thumbnail cover art views.

Re: [slim] MusicIP development... stalled???
I would like to echo all that's been said. Music IP is the 'real' genius, in that it really does create special moments in my collection which nothing else does. Apple's Genius seems little more than a random mix tool. I agree that from a purely commercial point of view Logitech should embrace Genius. But for the sake of the many users here who love Music IP and see it as central to the Squeeze experience, I'd urge Logitech to acqure it and therefore secure its future. Given their previous business model apparently failed, Music IP must surely be very affordable? -- neilcoburn neilcoburn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=653 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61977 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MusicIP development... stalled???
Maybe someone should start a thread with a poll to get the approximate number of SC users that have installed and use the MusicIP and SugarCube plugins. If only a few SC users have installed and use the plugins, it might be because there are bit hard to install and setup. I doubt that if users experience the great mixes they generate that they would ever give these plugins up. Once I installed them and got them working (correctly) I was hooked. If Logitech were to get a hold of MusicIP and integrates its functionality in SC so that user can easily generate these wonderful mixes... SC could be an even bigger hit. I can just picture sliding controls in the player panel to adjust the mood and filters of the mixes for SugarCube... on the flight. -- tamanaco tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61977 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I ended up staying up late last night playing with the new version. That problem with volume due to IR Blaster settings was weird, thanks for sorting that out. Website is looking nicer too. So did you get that fixed? Good. Regarding the undocumented feature (love it!), you mention above that just turning on the screen should be enough to make the hardware buttons work, but I find that I have to fully wake up the iPhone for them to work. Maybe I need to activate Keep connection active (this just occurred to me)? It certainly helps. Yet it should work without it as well, just take 2-3 seconds to open up a server connection. I don't see where to access the Lyrics plugin is. I remember this was available from the track info page of the ipeng Safari skin. I don't see it under Extras, which is where one finds it in the Browser UI. It doesn't work. Please contact the author (lsmitho). He promised me to add a CLI feature almost a year ago. The problem is: Lyrics either works as a traditional web plugin, which is only available in the browser, or as a LUA plugin for the controller, which doesn't work for iPeng since LUA violates Apple's license agreement. Lyrics does not provide normal SqueezePlay menus as of now. No access to track info from the playlist view yet? This is where it would be most useful to me. Looking ahead in the current random or dynamic playlist and editing, or adding adjoining songs from the same album/live recording as one of the random tracks. 1.2 Another minor problem I'm sure you can help me with. I want to change out the generic grayscale cover art image for something more colorful, since I see it all the time in my large collection of unreleased live recordings. See this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62228 In iPeng 1.0, replacing cover.png in the Browser UI Default skin HTML also changed the generic image in iPeng Now Playing, though not in the thumbnail cover art views. I had been meaning to ask you where that thumbnail image was located to change it too, but now with iPeng 1.1, the Now Playing generic cover art image is not responding to my change of cover.png in Default skin. Where are the two images iPeng uses for generic cover art located so that I can change them out? This should not have worked in 1.0 but only with the plugin. The grey image is part of the application. TECHNICALLY, the app, as you see it in iTunes, is just a zipped folder containing, among other things, the bitmaps used. I have no idea, whether you can just change these or if that will break the code signature. So if you try, always keep a copy of the original file. -- 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=62245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for your other answers, looking forward to 1.2. I'll contact ismitho about Lyrics. Even maintaining the connection, I don't have hardware button control without a full wake up, even if I wait several seconds on the lock screen. Jailbroken iphone if that matters, but don't think I've done anything to those buttons anywhere else. By 1.0, I meant the immediately previous version to the current 1.1, which required the plugin and SC 7.3, was that 1.01? Anyway, before yesterdays iPeng update, just yesterday, I changed cover.png in the Default skin HTML, and this image also showed up in iPeng Now Playing, which was nice, it looked so good on the iPhone screen. Rather than going in and trying to change an iPhone app (I would have no idea how) would it be possible in future versions that instead of using a bitmap in the app, that iPeng could call on cover.png in the Default skin, which it seems to have done until the recent update? I guess cache this image locally? Maybe use this for the thumbnail view too, though I really only care about the Now Playing screen. That was fun for a day. Silly little thing, I know. And if I did start messing around and broke the app, wouldn't I just be able to download it again? If I changed the app found in iTunes, would it update to the iPhone? So much I don't know. I know just enough to start trying to do something I have no clue about and break it. Perhaps best if I left it alone. -- bephillips More than 40,296 songs on 2,789 albums by 2,126 artists.
