Another good sign is that even if they are cutting other parts of the organization, they still seem to hire people to specifically work with Squeezeboxes: http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=qgX9Vfw1v=1page=Job%20Descriptionj=oRydWfwi http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=qgX9Vfw1v=1page=Job%20Descriptionj=oZPjWfwN Future will tell what's going to happen, but it's nice to know that the oldest Squeezebox (Classic) I've had for over 6 years are still going to continue working great for local music and for streaming services through third party plugins for many more years, independent of what actions Logitech takes. I can honestly say that the number of hardware devices which are used on daily basis that survives 6 years in my home are fairly limited, the Sherwood amplifier still beats the Squeezebox but most other newer devices have already been replaced. Is anyone sure anything from Apple (except for computers) which you purchase today is going to be useful 2018 ? I think my iPod Touch 1G was purchased 2007 and it became more or less useless about 2-3 years later, theoretically it still works but in practice most new apps requires newer iOS versions than the iPod Touch 1G supports. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What if Logitech pulls the plug
Both of my 1G iPod touch's are still being used every day although both not by me. I bought the first one on the day it came out, that's almost 5 years now. You are right, App support is almost nonexistent anymore (I can't even make iPeng builds for it myself now, for example) so they've pretty much become what the Squeezebox has always been: single purpose devices as a remote control or an actual audio player (something the iPod touch hasn't been throughout the first few years of it's life. Although one is still being used for internet browsing an e-mail, too. But you are right: my SB3s are still the _most_ used Squeezeboxes I have so there's clearly a difference in the level of aging. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It will only work on TOUCH or RADIO. With logitech spotify app, it should work when you are connected to mysqueezebox.com and playing the TOUCH (not synched to duet). So this is where your problem seems to be. I'm not sure what the android controller app has to do with the problem, but leave that out of the loop for now. What happens when you select the official spotify app FROM THE TOUCH SCREEN MENU itself (via my apps spotify). And be sure you've entered your premium spotify account userid/pw at the settings for the official spotify app (login to your mysqueezebox.com account on the web, and enter your spotify settings at the spotify app there). garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95677 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Spotify on squeezebox devices
Maybe get the andriod app to connect to the local LMS server , if you choose my music can you play your own local files ? Also mysqueezebox.com integration must be on in LMS and LMS must have your mysqueezebox.com login in it's settings ( use settings from web-UI not the controll panel ) . Otherwise when choosing my apps it will switch over to mysqueezebox.com for those functions . LMS and mysqueezebox.com must be aware of each other then switching between the local server and mysb.com becomes less convoluted as the server are aware of the players whereabouts all the time .

I'm certain I've got something mis-configured. You need to get the app out of Apps Gallery and into My Apps. you do that by logging in to your account on mysb.com, and then installing the app. Nothing is really installed in the normal sense of the word, but installation is when you can put in your user account information for Pandora or other subscription services (free or paid). aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95675 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
