A Simple question would ask how the "block" security settings are

Thanks Ralphy - it was the alsamixer - for some reason default was to
mute - no idea why.  Un-muted and all seems to be working nicely now
:-).  I know the LMS side very well, but I'm a Windows guys, so the
Linux world is a little new to me - help much appreciated.

thanks

Please download the "aLogCat" App and send me logs with this app to
support(at)squeezeplayer.com
What happens is the following: after a fresh install there is a grace
period, where the App will try to contact Googles licensing servers. If
this fails for a longer time it will present the licensing dialog.
Looking at the logs will help to identify your issue.

As written before: on ICS Google did introduce some problems with some
payed Apps.
According to this report:
http://www.h-online.com/newsticker/news/item/Google-forced-to-temporarily-deactivate-copy-protection-for-Android-apps-1661755.html
updating Google Play and reinstalling the App might help.
I'm not sure though, if it will really help with SqueezePlayer and if
its the same problem.

Another possible workaround is to purchase via AndroidPit (send me your
Google order number, I can refund it easily).

I'm very very sorry about the inconvenience. It's very depressing, when
license management prevents paying users from using the App :(

Re: [slim] Is Squeezebox dead?

2012-08-25 Thread bluegaspode

I small promising sign today.

The German ct' magazin today writes (it's a wrapup about what is to be
expected from the IFA consumer show regarding music streaming services)
"It is rumored that Sonos will announce a new player, also a new
SqueezeBox is said to appear soon. If one of the new players will be
presented at IFA isn't known yet"

The same author (in a test of music streaming devices) wrote about
Squeezeboxes two months ago, that it's a pity that Logitech only has two
devices left and there is nothing known about the future.

So at least his information background changed in the meantime.

Frankly, I'd be reasonably happy with a continued mysb.com that kept up
with music services and continued to work with Lms.  I can do about all
I want with existing Lms and 3rd party plugins. I've already got 2 touch
players and a radio for backup units when my hardware starts breaking.

Not a chance. Not even a remote one. They'd just write it off.

The only question that remains is whether they're working on any
products that would give them a reason to keep mysqueezebox.com running
after they've sold the last of the Squeezeboxes.

Is it 4.0 ICS or 4.1 Jellybean, as I had a similar issue with 4.1 - it
appears to be an Android issue. There is a solution, but squeezeplayer
cannot be restored from a backup and retain the license you have paid
for.

Re: [slim] Is Squeezebox dead?

2012-08-25 Thread dpaws

I do understand the sentiment behind the thread, the initial loss of
(genius) Sean Adams from the team and then Logitech's failure to rival
the Apple TV may have dampened the enthusiasm for new players to be
produced. However, I have always felt that one of the greatest strengths
behind the brand has been this forum and its ingenious software
developers who have kept improving the overall package with countless
plug ins and apps for many years. Also Squeezepad, iPeng - I salute
you!

The Transporter was years ahead of its time but with the emergence of
cheaper storage, higher file higher resolutions and the introduction of
asynchronous UBS as the preferred digital interface for audiophiles then
it's time for something new to head the family. This may arrive from the
various Vortexbox powered appliances or other PC software driven
derivatives. 

I have tried owning alternatives but I keep coming back to LMS. At
present there's a Transporter, a Touch, 5 Booms and a new "audiophile"
SOTM inspired server in the house where as the Sooloos, the Naim and the
Bang & Olfsen have all been and gone. 

I'm sure if Logitech did pull the plug then they'd sell the
"SlimDevices" package on to a new owner for it to be reborn yet again -
and with today's methods of raising funding online it wouldn't be too
bizzarre to see the marque owned by the forum members themselves!

Thanks guys -- love it!!!

first case. nothing as far as I know unless you're trying to stream to
NON-Squeezebox devices that use DLNA (DVD players, xbox, etc.).
second case. yes, LMS will run on some NASes. not sure about synology
212, but search this forum for synology and you'll likely see if it is
possible. I use a headless vortexbox, stuck in a back closet connected
to router as my "NAS" for streaming audio via LMS (and storing network
accessible files, etc.).

LMS out of the box is gapless for FLAC or mp3 and there is no
transcoding unless you turn on bit rate limiting in the LMS settings. If
you send a FLAC file to the SB via LMS, it will be delivered bit-perfect
to the player.  And yes, you can you a great variety of smart phones and
tablets to control everything.  I use iPeng app on iphone, iPengHD on
ipad, and SqueezePad on ipad.  All excellent.  In all three of these
cases, I can also stream music to my iphones and ipads with these apps
(that is, the iphone/ipad is actually seen as a hardware SB player,
including ability to synch with other SB players).

[slim] noob questions on SSODS, whitebear and NAS-only operation

2012-08-25 Thread gozer

New to the squeezebox world, read lots of stuff, but I don't feel
comfortable I "get it" concerning what several applications or plugins
allow me to that I cannot do otherwise, and what I applications or
plugins I need to do certain things.

First case:  Compared to using LMS from a computer that is running all
the time and streaming to one or several Touches, what exactly can I not
do if I don't use whitebear?  Same question concerning SSODS.  Yes, I've
read what they can do, but I'm not expert enough to translate that into
what I cannot do without each compared to just running LMS on my PC.

Second case: Can I install just LMS on a NAS like a synology 212 and
stream to my Touches without a PC running?  If not, what application(s)
or plugin(s) do I need instead of or in addition to LMS to stream from a
NAS to my Touches without a PC running?

In both cases, I strongly prefer gapless streaming of FLAC or mp3 files
via wired or wireless networks without any quality-degrading
transcoding, and be able to use tablets or smartphones as Touch control
points.  Thanks for any thoughts.

okay, that's software that appears to be slicker than LMS web ui (not
difficult), but not necessarily better than one of the 3rd party tablet
apps. After spending EUR 100 on that, what about the better hardware?

This is the dealbreaker for me:

"The SONATA music Server software works with Windows XP, Vista and 7;
Home Starter, Premium and Ultimate 32 and 64 bits."

I'm not a Windows user, and I think that one of the advantages of LMS is
that it is available for several OS platforms.  

Me, I get everything I need from my Squeezebox system (2xSBR, 1xSB3 and
1xSBT, LMS running on a QNAP NAS box): I'm not offended by the web GUI,
and I like to use Squeezepad and iPeng on a iPad to control the system.
I'm happiest when server software updates are infrequent.
