Heck, make an API to let it posible for others to develop stuff. Ok, I'm probably in over my head now, but you get the drift.

Re: [slim] 7.5 Release Date
I certainly hope that that's what they're doing. IMO, we've now all had an experience of "release to a deadline" (7.4) and know what that feels like. Having spent almost all of my development life under deadline, I can tell you that there's often a compromise on the good/soon axis (on high-budget projects this can be cheap/soon, but with the problems in adding resources it's really something more like good/soon). Nothing surprising, if you think about it... My hat's off to any development manager who can stick to his/her guns enough to "release when it's ready". Meanwhile... there's a development version of 7.5 if you want to play with it.

[slim] Hardware store any 'Plugin' settings? (more Web control?)
I'm not a programmer, nor do I really understand the 'box' hardware. Please bring me up to speed. :) Wouldn't one want to retain various settings made via SqueezeServer Plugins through either on/off cycle or restarting, and then use them when connecting to new 'Music Sources'? For example this might allow custom displays and some other changes to the interface beging made through SqueezeServer Plugins to be retained while moving to mysqueezebox.com. Can the Squeezebox v3 (SB3) store anything other than firmware locally in RAM? (If so, can/do Squeezeserver Plugins ever write to this? Seems they do not.) If not, would it be possible to implement plugins through a web connection rather than Squeezeserver, say beginning with mysqueezebox.com? If so, could someone make a Community web page(s) to which Squeezebox could connect, and thereby implement features and settings in the open source model? (In my view, the potential hardware independence from the PC is the uniqueness of the whole Squeeze platform. If one puts in dependence on a laptop and Squeezeserver (and local MP3s), then there are better PC-interface-centered approaches, for example an Airport Express with a iPhone PC-remote.)

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
I think it would be a good idea to dedicate the half of the screen to a Now Playing screen and the other half to a navigation/control screen. Possibly also a screen saver mode when it's placed in the docking station a a few meters away from where I'm sitting. Things that would be nice when used as screen saver in the docking station: - Album art, large is good but I have a feeling it doesn't have to be a lot larger than it is on the touch. - Now playing information with larger font, artist, album, track. - YouTube video of currently playing track (only video, not audio) - Artist artwork, from LastFM or something similar. It's accessible through Custom Scan already today. - Big clock - Preferably the the possibility to select what "view" you like to show in different areas of the screen When I have it in the hand it would also be nice to from the Now Playing screen have access to: - Play, pause, stop, fwd/rew controls (and other things needed) - Easily access to presets/favorites - Biography/AlbumReview plugin information about currently playing artist/album - Lyrics - Shortcuts to configurable menus (similar to bottom toolbar on iPeng on iPhone) - Current playlist - Track details of currently playing track When navigating the library, we of course want things like: - Playlist creation with drag&drop - Information about currently browsed artist/album, compare with Custom Browse page headers in web UI - It feels like it might be good to use half the screen for navigation menus and the other half for artist/album information or possibly a Now Playing screen. If something isn't supported in SBS and you need JSON support and can't get Logitech to implement it, let us know.

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
Implementation of a feature isn't illegal unless you're thinking about ripping off copyright holders. There are plenty of companies out there ready to license data. Cost is and will always be the main factor. Logitech has plenty of contacts and money to work on some additional licensing deals. That said, it's easy enough to get lyrics into your tags ahead of time. But yes, I can see the appeal to fetching them and artwork on-demand, since after all this is a connected device. ITunes sucks for many reasons. Its UI, when browsing local music, is not one of those. There is no music management app for any platform with as much functionality nor as usable a UI. I don't necessarily think it's the right UI for a media pad, nor does it make the best playback UI. Whatever gets implemented, just make sure that there is a way to have the screen filled completely with an album art grid. In other words, if there's a split pane showing Now Playing make it able to be turned off/on. Also make sure there's a Now Playing that focuses solely on what's now playing and possibly some info of what's coming next, but not the previous grid navigation. In other words, this doesn't need to be a rehash of the web interface. Because one can already hit the web interface if that's what they want. :) I'd have no problems paying $20 for a new version of iPeng if it supported playback on top of all this. And I suspect thousands of other people feel the same way. Imagine how many people are out there, currently without Squeezebox hardware that might be interested in being able to use iPeng as a player along with a server installation? No one is going to convince the mass-market that the audio quality out of the iPod or iPad isn't good enough. Most listeners here don't have the rest of the equipment to ever notice a difference either. I've already got 2 classic SB3 and a radio on the way, and I can still appreciate and desire iPeng with playback support for use on either iPhone/iPod or iPad. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - External Wired IR Blasters' (http://twistedmelon.com/shop/?show=bug1)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It's very useful as a Squeezebox replacement when you have it in the docking station but is it really going to be that useful when the iPad isn't in the dock ?

Hi Snarly. Thanks for your reply. Well, isn't 'too small' (Slim) relative? For example, how much flash storage does it take to make the screensaver change settings every 5 minutes? To maintain a reasonable list of URLs? Is it that there isn't the necessary (SB3) storage, or that it's not accessible by Plugin architecture? Are there any custom firmwares about? __ Unfortunately, I'm finding the SB to be a "PC-centric" system, given the Settings dependence on Squeezebox Server software Plugins, given the primitive level of the alternative at mysqueezebox.com. I appreciate your point in terms of a Desktop vs Laptop Server option. However I'd favor the central concept of a customizable independent 'radio-like' device that interacts directly on the web (neither Desktop nor Laptop dependent). Why can't a S'box connect to a website other than mysqueezebox.com, or how would you enable that?

Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95
After a bit of playing around I must say: Wauw. It's really come a long way. This may actually compete with the Logitech controller, I think. At the previous versions I didn't think it would be this good. Especially the interaction at the now-playing screen is good. The old flipping was cool but now its way better. An what you've put "behind" the flip is very usable. I did find some things that could be improved. The change player interface is a bit confusing. I didn't really figure out to e.g. sync players yet. And as mentioned earlier I miss the lefthand interface. Especially the back-swipe feels wrong when the motion is going away from the hand if you know what I mean. Ofcourse you can get accustomed to it. Loading lists with a lot of tracks take quite a while. Quite annoying if you check the lyrics of one track and go back to the list. It doesn't seem to load on the same place as it was left btw. Doubleclick? I think that is a mistake, it must be posible to navigate on a touchscreen without having to click twice. I think there were a few other things, but i can't remember right now.

A local server (SBS) is one. A remote SBS is another. I am at work and playing music from my home server right now, so I -am- connected to a remote server. Why is there no alternative to MySB: because no one has made one. MySB is really SBS with some proprietary extensions to handle multiple users and some proprietary plugins for some services that would rather not hand out their API to anyone who wants it. You didn't ask for "I would like to be able to change display formats on MySB.com", you asked for plugins that could run on ip3k based players. That isn't going to happen. You can have applets that run on the Radio/Boom/Controller, but that's another matter entirely. If you have local music, you will need something to serve it, right? So what's the big deal to have that 'something' also control what you asked for via formatting?

Well, it's unfortunate that the SB3 cannot/will never be able to load (or even save) a custom configuration however small without connecting to a server.

There is nothing stoping you from doing that.
Again, the only special thing about MySB is that it's in the menu.
I don't see a motivation for that, though. Those who have the
experience to set up a multiuser SB Server have their own servers: why
would they pay the costs of a server for other people? Then they would
also have to sign content deals with Napster, Rhapsody, Pandora, etc..
That's a whole lot of work, and I don't really see an income stream
there to make it worth the trouble. It's not a big deal for logitech
who already have a toehold ("Hi, we have contracts with your
competition, do you want to have us use you as a content provider,
too?"), but would be very painful for a startup.

The Touch runs a 'tiny' version of SBS if you add storage to it. (A
USB thumb drive would suffice.)
So, yes, it can connect to net radio stations without an -additional-
server. It would be wrong to say without a server: since it is running
a server.
The SBS has a far faster CPU, more RAM and more flash, as well as a USB
connection for external storage (ie, if you don't want to use a PC as a
server, go get a huge USB hard drive and store your music on that, and
plug it into the Touch).
A 'classic II' would, in order to accomplish what you want, need: more
memory, faster CPU, more flash, USB connection...
Ie, it would be a touch with a VFD display. But I bet the touch-lcd
display is -cheaper- than the VFD was (economies of scale: LCD displays
are cheap, even as touch screens -- think of the millions of phones made
every year). So, really, it would, well, be a Touch.
The touch -is- the next step in the SB1/2/3 line.

It's not possible in the favorites, because the servers does not give

But I've just implemented the download feature for the current

American composer, teacher and writer on music.; http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/02353?q=Bauer&search=quick&pos=3&_start=1#firsthit; Orchestral Works; Ambache Chamber Orchestra and Ensemble; " Also currently in the webUI, if a COMMENT or LYRIC tag contains html, the webUI renders this correctly and, again, allows the user to click on and open any links embedded. E.g.: Code: comment[6]: LYRICS=http://squeezeserver/t_Post%20Modern%20Contemporary/Tenney,%20J/bio.html target=_blank> Tenney, James (Carl) (b Silver City, NM, 10 Aug 1934; d Valencia, CA, 24 Aug 2006). American composer, theorist, educator and performer. These features were initially broken in the 7.0 'new default' SC skin when Michael started putting it together. I think it was almost a one-liner for him to re-enable this. Hopefully, it wouldn't be much harder for you to put the same functionality into iPeng. But I don't really have a clue, really, about what sort of a coding effort I'm asking for here. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
4 pages... I wont read it all. Just an idea, could be out of fashion, but why not a (random) visualizer ? I had a friend who wanted to reinject into itunes the music coming to a player just for the sake of running g-force or somesuch...

Re: [slim] Announce: New Squeezeslave 0.9 Release available on sourceforge
Sure. I have speakers upstairs, deck, bathroom, basement, office,... and at times different music is playing in different areas. My previous setup (J. Rivers Media Center) allowed me to use the independent outputs of my sound card to create 4 zones of audio. I want to see if the squeezecenter stuff can do that before I buy a controller and/or receiver. Seems odd to me to put 4 squeezebox receivers in my equipment room stacked on top of each other connected to the amps. I'm beginning to think that what I want isn't going to work out well.

It would be great to have links from Artists/Albums pages to things like LastFM, Wikipedia, allmusic.com, Amazon.com. The Custom Browse web UI have this kind of links and they work fairly well by just passing the artist name further to the correct urls handled by these web providers. When you click on a link Safari would be shown on half the screen and the other half can keep showing Now Playing information. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 3 Artist albums classed as compilations?
if you ever have questions about why SBS did this or that after a quick check of your tags using mp3tag or whatever, what you should do imo is make sure you have SBS 7.5 or later installed. then, on the "problem" entries, navigate to them in SBS and drill down to the song level, and "view tags" 99% of the time the answer will be in the tags, very probably tags you don't know are there but that SBS can see. other than the comp=1 tag, or artist mismatch on a given album (without AA tags), i don't know of a way to get SBS to classify something as part of a comp. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 35k mp3 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74393 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 7.4.2 nearing release, need your help!
I don't have a Radio, but since this is a synchronization issue the Radio might be affected, too, when it is in a sync group: My MP3 collection consists of files of all possible sample rates. Mainly 44.1 kHz, but also 32 kHz, 48 kHz, and even the odd 22.05 kHz. My normal playback setup is a sync group of 2×SB1 and 1×Boom. As long as I am streaming to a single player, everything is fine. But when synchronization is in effect, I experience all kinds of playback problems whenever a file is encountered that is not 44.1 kHz, such as: - Both SB1s keep playing, but the Boom is mute while the play time on the display still counts up. - Playback stalls altogether (stills says "Now Playing", but is stuck at 0:00 on all players). - Title display on the players and in the web interface immediately skips to the next track in the playlist and stays one track ahead of the audio that is actually being played until I stop and restart playback. Let me know if this is a known issue, or if I should file a bug. -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
