Re: [slim] What if Logitech pulls the plug

2012-08-22 Thread maggior

I know Sonos has controller apps for phones and tablets, but I don't
think there are players.  That would be a deal breaker for me at this
point since I regularly use my andriod media player and my iPod Touch as
portable squeezeboxes in my house and on family trips when we have
access to WiFi.

[slim] Is Squeezebox dead?

2012-08-22 Thread michael123

just wondering..

Transporter killed.. sadly.. but true.

But no builds for half a year? No features added,
same rudimentary GUI running for years..

What's going on?

Can we get any kind of roadmap?

No, we won't get any official roadmap, Logitech will keep information
about new major products or features secret until they are ready to
announce them.
What kind of functionality are you missing which you would like to be
included in the next major release ?

The library based today with this one-hour scanning is less convenient
that it might be.
Browsing my 3000+ album library is not possible basically. I need to use
search..
and I want the search engine to be more powerful (see J.River for
example)
Tags are not visible unless I click on the specific song

Sox transcoding is slow and kills the server sometimes, and quite always
there is a delay of 10-15 seconds before streaming.
Today there is a LOT of content with  96Khz sampling rate

Built-in high-quality parametric EQ (center frequency, Q,
amplification/attenuation gain)

Stability - once in a while Squeezebox server stuck

Support for tablets - android application for Squeezebox is not working
for me, the most-recent album it displays was added to the library few
months ago.

Are you using a computer, tablet, smartphone or something else when you
browse/search your library ?

Which tags would you like to see and in which context/place would you
like to see them ?

Are you saying that you don't see all albums in it ?
Even if they are visible when you browse the Squeezebox Server/Logitech
Media Server web interface on a computer ?
I assume you have tried restarting the app and tablet to make sure it
doesn't help ?
Have you only tried Logitech's app or have you also tried the third
party apps, for example Orange Squeeze or Squeeze Commander ?

Ouch. Sounds bad. But seems worse than it should be. I have about 5,000
CDs, about 70,000 mostly FLAC rips, virtually nothing other than
16/44.1.  I'm running on vortexbox appliance machines (which are not
super powerful) at two different locations and I can browse very easily,
artist or album, from either the WebGUI, or mostly I use either ipeng or
squeezepad (on iphones/ipad) or SQUEEZEPLAY on a windows laptop on my
network.  Everything is almost instant when browsing.

That said, I'd like a high quality EQ and a more modern, configurable
LMS interface as well.  I'm used to the interface, and at least it is
snappy for me in browsing or searching, but it could be updated for
sure.

Re: [slim] Is Squeezebox dead?

2012-08-22 Thread michael123

Hi

yes, playlists and favorites are very basic.
I am not a UX designer, again, look Sooloos or other frameworks.

I am usually using one of my laptops, sometimes I am trying to use a
tablet. SqueezeControl (quite a nice app, pity it is not supported
anymore) works there, Logitech's application 'forgot' about a hundred of
albums

Tags I am using are comments and sometimes album artist + derived from
the data: sample size, sample rate
