Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !

2010-09-25 Thread bluegaspode

Hi tomjtx

If you have to change the server settings all the time, then maybe we
should work on improving your home network. All routers have the
capability to assign the same IP to your server all the time via DHCP
If that is in place, you will need to go into the settings screen one
final time and then never ever again, so you won't miss the feature.
Also your squeezebox likes a constant IP address of your server much
more! 
What operating system is your computer on and what router do you have?

Re: [slim] Some Flac files play choppy / stop playing

2010-09-25 Thread Wirrunna

Wombat, you were spot on, the files in question were highly compressed,
I don't think dbPoweramp showed the compression level, but when I used
dbPoweramp to 'convert' the files to Flac -8 the resultant file size
was larger than the original files. It was some months ago and I cannot
recall the particular files. I will go through things tomorrow to see if
I can find them.
I noticed that you were a contributor to that thread and considered
sending a pm to you, but as soon as I had re-encoded the file and it
worked I moved on to other things.
Perhaps you could try encoding a track with Flacuda at the -11 level
and try playing it on an SB3.

That's not the right question to ask ;)
Such a feature will definitely come - the question is how long are you
going to wait for it ?

When you start the Airport Extreme Utility it has an option
'Internet/DHCP/Add DHCP reservation'.
There you can configure that your Server-Tiger-Mac gets the same
IP-Adress all the time. Then you'll never need to go to the settings
screen of SqueezePad again.

Here is a good step by step tutorial with pictures for Max and Airport
Extreme - shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes to do and then you'll
have much more joy with SqueezePad already today: 
http://support.herefilefile.com/entries/158807-add-a-dhcp-reservation-to-your-airport-extreme

I know that it could be much more comfortable - but on the other hand I
want to focus on real features first before tackling stuff that users
(with a little help on my side) can solve themselves very easily.

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !

2010-09-25 Thread ccdalla

A couple of things I've noticed:

1: Sometimes, the menus will come up empty, the same way they always do
after installing a new version.  This can be usually worked around by
pressing the 'play' button, then selecting 'turn off xxx', then exiting
squeeze pad, then restarting squeeze pad, but it's a bit annoying.

2: When 'remove this song from the playlist' is tapped, Squeezepad puts
up a dialog that says that the menu item isn't supported, but it
actually does remove the song from the playlist, but it doesn't update
the display to show the updated playlist unless you exit out of the
playlist and then go back to it.

Still, a great controller for the squeezebox...keep up the fantastic
work!

The menu is empty but you still have a button 'Turn off xxx' ?
Actually this menuitem is still from the server, so parts of the menu
seem to have been received.
Can you make a screenshot (press Home-Button and Power+Button together)
if this happens again, so that I get a better idea how this looks like ?
Send it to support(at)squeezepad.com.

I cannot reproduce this. I went to the playlist, removed a song via

Are you using MySqueezebox.com ? What type of media are you removing ?
From which menu do you try to remove it ? Is this happening on every
song or just sometimes ?

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !

2010-09-25 Thread SadGamerGeek

Another new owner here - I bought this yesterday, and I'm very pleased
so far. 

A have a couple of small issues which may well be simply my lack of
familiarity so far:

I can't get the scrub bar to work! The volume slider works as expected
for me but I just cannot move the scrub slider to move forward / back
in a track. Is there some trick to this or do I need to configure
something?

When I turn shuffle on for songs, this breaks the selection of tracks
within an album. Once it is on, when I select a track on the left hand
side, a completely different track in that album starts playing. The
fact that no-one else has reported this makes me again think I must be
doing something wrong...

For info, I'm using the latest app version, 7.5 running on Windows Home
Server. I have three classics and one touch. Almost all my music is
FLAC.

Keep up the good work!

...and a thought...

Have you considered displaying the album art at a slightly higher
resolution? I love the big art, but that just makes me want it even
bigger. If it could be configured by the user that would keep everyone
happy.

I'd love the option to sacrifice the top and side borders to get the
cover larger. I'm also thinking there's not too much going at the right
hand side of the light grey bar at the top of the screen. If the volume
control could be found a new home, that would free up enough screen
estate to have album covers life (same as CD insert) size! That would
surely be a good selling point

Just a thought...

[slim] Network setup for iPeng app

2010-09-25 Thread jclyle

Before I buy the Ipenq app, I want to make sure everything in my network
will communicate with each other..
I'll be using an Ipad on wireless network. SlimServer 7.5 is installed
on a laptop. I use a switch to connect the sqeezebox Touch and the
laptop running server together. Tunes are on a USB harddrive.

I have another laptop running vista. I am trying to load slimserver
remotely using http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/   i verified slimserver
settings and it is using port 9000, the 'x' is a placeholder for the IP
address of the laptop running slimserver.

I am not able to bring up the webserver/brwoser slimserver on the other
laptop. 

Does the 7.5 release allow you to bring up the server remotely? I know
I was able to do this before on older versions.

I'm concerned that iPenq might not be able to find the laptop running
slimserver. I was unable to connect on the iPad using the same address
I referenced above.

Thanks for any insight on what I am doing wrong.

Re: [slim] Weird Squeezebox Network Interference

2010-09-25 Thread dhull

I assumed that I had a ground loop or some power related problem. I
tried everything I could think of to solve this including grounding my
satellite dish. Nothing helped. Today I tried moving the squeezebox
right next to the audio amp. I plugged the ac adapter into the same
power strip that the amp is plugged into. Network performance got
*much* worse!

Next I replace the ac adapter with a universal adapter I had and the
network performance was back to normal. I moved the squeezebox back to
the other side of the room where it usually lives and the network is
still healthy.

Problem solved, finally!

This is a refurb of the old Album Art Aggregator and it doesn't seem
to work very well...

Bliss will fix your first 100 for free. I don't know about ongoing
cost.

real stereo makes the lights dim on the bass notes. (this means your amp
could also use it's own circuit.)

 From the Now Playing screen on the Controller, press and hold the centre
 button, scroll down to More info.
 
 On the web UI, click on the artwork top right, by the player controls.

OR, select the song in the left panel

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !

2010-09-25 Thread bluegaspode

  I can't get the scrub bar to work!
I have no idea why that wouldn't work.
Isn't it moving at all - or snapping back to its original position ?

If it isn't moving at all I think you didn't hit it properly.
If it's snapping back to its original position, then the server for
some reason doesn't accept scrubbing for this particular song. 
Did you try another song ?

 
 When I turn shuffle on for songs, this breaks the selection of tracks
 within an album.
If have no real influence on how shuffling works. This is all done by
your server (or MySqueezebox.com respectively), SqueezePad only kindly
asked it to use the shuffle function.

Just tried myself - the same happens when I use my Duet Controller (try
yourself with your Touch !).
Guess the 'logic' goes as follows: when you select a track, typically
the whole album (starting from this track) is put int the playlist. As
shuffle is in place, the album is instantly shuffled and you hear a
random track from this album.

 Have you considered displaying the album art at a slightly higher
 resolution?
Did you try the screensafer mode (single touch on the album art on the
right) ?
In portrait-screensafer-mode you will get the biggest coverart.

 OK, you got me off your back, I wont have to hunt you down in Germany to
 get my money back :-)
The journey would have been more expensive ;) !
But we have good beer as well, so the journey might pay off anyway ...

 Wondered if you can help, I am something of an iPad noob. While trying
 to configure Squeezepad for the first time, the app crashed on me and
 now it will not launch past the splash screen. Any ideas?
When did you download SqueezePad ? In the last few days or earlier ?
There was a bug in the previous version which prevented connections to
MySqueezebox.com. 
So first check if your iPad shows you an update for SqueezePad.

If this doesn't help, delete SqueezePad from your iPad (long touch on
the icon, then the X). After that go to the AppStore and download it
again (the AppStore will show a 'Buy'-button - don't worry - you won't
be charged twice).
You should then be able to start SqueezePad again. Please tell me then
what exactly you entered on the settings screen (if it crashes again).

We see their target audience on the home page which depicts the thing
snaked to a limited fidelity alternative.

The lack of format(s) support is a killer but where do you suppose they
got the seed server software?
