Hey Dan, glad to hear you found it useful. Could you let me know what
elements of the interface you found difficult to use or you generally
disliked? Then I can fix them.

Re: [slim] Sound loss on selected BBC stations

2010-11-04 Thread Paul Webster

This has also been reported by users of non-Squeezebox internet radios.
I have been chasing it with BBC.
My suspicion is that some of the back-end stream servers have problems
and this is leading to intermittant problems (depending on which
back-end stream server the user happens to hit).

Yes, I too have had difficulty this morning, I know it wasn't my radio
or connection as I could easily and reliably stream classic fm and such
like. I think it's possibly related to a demand issue although my boom
seems more reliable at catching a stream than my radio.

Don't know if this is already reported, but I have a Receiver and a

when I'm listening to the Receiver only.

With iPeng for iPad, closing the app and restarting it, causes the

This should not be. iPEng is not sending any commands upon startup, it
just requests a status.

Do you use MySqueezebox.com or a local server? Which version?
Is this reproducible, does it always happen when you start iPeng? For
all players or the active one only?

- MySqueezebox.com Integration
- TrackStat Ratings
- Caching of Album + Artist Lists
- Album Art Only Screen
- Better Search
- Something else - Please do the poll with different options !


I think the development is on a good development roadmap! 
But I still have some questions!

I dont have a squeezebox (yet) but wonder how the squeezepad 
handles very large amount of music (like i have about 3500 CD albums
thas over 50.000 mp3 files on my NAS.)

1 - The Caching of Album  Artist Lists is for me the most important
feature due to the effect on very large CD Album collections
Having the index (or database) local on the ipad increase startup time
very much - a super feature! 
I Hate iTunes behaviour of reading all music index from the NAS at
startup!

2 - I would like to see improvement of the searching feature 
Because the current a-z search naviigation is very limited.
Implement a editable search bar which i can use for 
searching on Album Artist  Album Title  (optional)Track Title.

3 - I like the visible Album cover also in itunes/windows media player
does with a matrix. In all the screendumps of squeexepad i don't see
this.
This make visible searching for a certain album easier.

4 - Album sorting order.
But like to have sorting on multiple mp3 idv3 tags
Like example
a) Album Artist + Album Title + Year (descending) + Barcode
b) Year (or decade) (ascending) + Album Artist + Album Title + Barcode


5 - The near-duplicate problem.
Most music software can't handle the following 
Two albums (Just a fictive example)
Album Artist: Me
Album Title: Do Re Mi 
Year: 2010
Format: Studio Recording
Media: CD

Album Artist: Me
Album Title: Do Re Mi
Year: 2010
Format: Studio Recording
Media: 2xCD Limited Edition

A very simple solution is to extend the Album Title with the text
Limited edition but officially it is not part of the album title but
is a release format issue of the cd album.

The same problem occure with album that only differ in recording type

Album Artist: Me
Album Title: Do Re Mi 
Year: 2010
Recording: Studio

Album Artist: Me
Album Title: Do Re Mi
Year: 2010
Recording: Live  (or soundboard)

Often music software merge both albums into one CD during the mp3
directory scan because they match only on Album Artist + Album Title.
And yes it also is a shortcomming of the ID3 standard That not all
information about music can be stored by TAG in the music file.
Like RecordingType[Studio/Live/Bootleg/Soundboard/interview] or Choice
[Band/Man/Woman]
or MediaType[Vinyl 7single/vinyl 12single/vinyl LP,CDS/CD EP or CD
Maxi/CD/DCC/TAPE 60min TAPE 90min Tape 120min. or Tape Reel], Recording
studio.
Stuff like that 
The most important tags for me shall be RecordingType  mediatype TagS
I really like to search for example 
All CDS from katebush in the decade 1980-1990  .or. 
All StudioAlbum where genre is reggae in decade 1970 - 1980
All interviews of Woman artists
Theese are examples of how i like to search my very large music
collections.

6 - If you think about a local database on the iPad with you feature:
Caching of Album  Artist Lists.
The think about implementing a (temporary)view for the GUI of this
database table that the user can modify for searching a certain CD
album.

I mean have a look at the adobe lightroom. Instead of foto's think of
music!
This program show the power of using tags in the foto and the full
strength of a database. I can search on every tag of a images (exif
tags)
Searhing on tags is SUPER in lightroom 
What i like the most about lightroom is that i start with all photo's
and can step-by-step drill-down to a very small group i like to see!
Like: All - foto's of 1990-januari - foto's with F1.4 lens - photo's
with rating 5 
This show really the power of the database interacting with the
db/table view of the GUI

Please try to implement this database  music tag IDv3 integration
(like lightroom) into you're app and you have a killer app that makes
you rich!

7 - Try to search on every MP3 tag possible
8 - People who likes classic music often think about composers or
conductor instead of Artist. Please see it from theire point of view
with this ap. 
and you have them as customer as well! 

9 - Have a look at  AlbumPlayer.com and collectorz.com for good music
software for the PC/computer. 
Have a look but please don't wheep :( because YOU do control the audio
stream to the squeezebox and they DO NOT :-)

10 - You have a greate product the combination of iPad (i Have) and

For that other ipad Apps use a SqueezeBox simulator on the iPad.
But the integration into the squeezePad sounds greate to mee too.

in other words, you want SqueezePad to look and behave like iPeng for
iPad (1, 2, 3, 4a) Hm, would bluegaspode want that?

I believe for 7, 8, 9 you'll either need to change the server or use
CustomBrowse which works fine with SqueezePad.

You are aware that the playlist is in the popup you get to when
touching the title bar at the top left, e.g. on or around the x of y
label.
The one in the screen saver is just a screen saver.

Yes, we are working on the manual.
And yes, we are working on a help animation to show what's where in the

There's a sync volume setting in the player settings.
But it's not relative volume sync, it's absolute volume sync, meaning
that all players have to have the same volume level, e.g. 50.

Re: [slim] Player Sync Questions

2010-11-04 Thread Skinny

A good rule of thumb regarding the direction of inheritance of
playlists, for adding more players to sync, etc. : The player you sync
from (the one you are controlling atm) inherits the playlist. Using
the same logic it's easy to understand how to add more players. Ok,
it's perhaps not intuitive but it is very clear and logical once you
know it. This way it is also logical that you can desync a single
player from a bunch of synced players while allowing them to continue
playing.

But I do like how it's done in SqueezeCommander for Android.

Hi HugoW, 

thanks a lot for the wealth of wishes and for your time to write them
down !

1) will be available in two weeks, when the next version comes out !
2+3) will both be part of the next poll (I'll start on the weekend,
when I'v finished the next version of SqueezePad)

4) I thinks this is possible already today.
If I browse albums they are  sorted by artist and title (and year
doesn't make sense then anymore)
Then there is also the 'Years' menu and within again my albums are
sorted by artist and title.
This can also be changed with a setting in the squeezebox server to
have another sort order (track+album)

5+6+7+8) hard to solve without changes in the server.
In the end a client can only do what the server servers :D ... right
now I want to stay near the 'original' menus to make it easy for people
to adopt and switch between using SqueezePad and also using their
SqueezeBoxes directly.

9) will do to get some inspiration

10) thanks a lot ! Go buy your Squeezeboxes now :D

Cheers
Stefan

Ahh - I see .. sorry for the confusion (but looks like I wasn't the
only one that didn't find it)

I meant loading playlists I guess. 
But that might be hidden somewhere as well of course - ahh ... on the
main menu !
Found it.

Learned new stuff about iPeng today :)

Yep. As I said: needs an additional help screen.

You get a menu remove notification you can handle.

Re: [slim] Player Sync Questions

2010-11-04 Thread pippin

The main issue is that the direction if this logic has changed several
times during the existence of the SBs which still confuses a lot of
people.
I agree the current solution is OK but don't really understand why SP
can't just ask like e.g iPeng now does (if you don't DD in which case
it's self-explanatory anyway but which obviously isn't an option in
SP... Wait... Is it really not?)

when I switch players ? The server doesn't even now when I switched
players, always thought that menu notifications where player specific
(that's why right now I keep a menu per player though in 98% the menu
is always the same).

Will take a look into it.

Wow. Does that work well and not cause too much overhead?
I actually once thought about doing that, too (keeping a menu for each
player) to be able to change player settings (alarms etc.) on all
players instead of only on the current one as it is now...
But as you say it I believe this is the very reason I did not do it in
the end: I preferred to have my menus player-independent.
I think I don't remember right now how I handle the different apps
menus for different players.

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze for Windows Mobile or iPhone (for my Car)

2010-11-04 Thread djs_6978

old thread I know, but throwing out there that for the iPhone and the
BBerry, there is an app called WunderRadio that handles all of the
internet radio functions of the Squeezebox, including BBC, they both
are foundationally built on the RadioTime database. 

Well worth the purchase if you want to stream internet radio from the
mobile.

I am still looking for best option for my own music collection, but a
8gb or 16gb (or bigger) micro SD chip, and pretty much can take a big
portion of 320kb mp3s on the mobile as well.

 You are aware that the playlist is in the popup you get to when touching
 the title bar at the top left, e.g. on or around the x of y label.
 The one in the screen saver is just a screen saver.
 
 Yes, we are working on the manual.
 And yes, we are working on a help animation to show what's where in the
 App.

Ahh, I was looking at the wrong place.  It used to be on the Now
Playing screen.

The pull down arrow is a bit too close to the shuffle button.  One can
accidentially touch the shuffle button instead.  So you think we can
still have a second playlist management in the Now Playing screen?

I managed to get iPengHD to crash twice.  Looking for ways to reproduce
them for you yet.

You don't have to hit the arrow. The whole area left of the arrow is
the button, have a look at what gets active when you hit it.
I usually hit the x of y text.

No. This does already work on the NowPlaying screen, too, just not from
the big screen saver display but you can get the popover the same way as
on the main screen.

I know about holding an item on the screen saver playlist. Other than
that I have seen crashes, too, but nothing I can reproduce. Will
eventually look into the log files I get from the App Store.
