Re: [slim] better windows app to control squeezebox
JJZolx, I run mine at 800x600 - not too far from the 800x480 you run - and it looks awesome. But I admit bigger wouldn't be better. I did try at 1024x768 and 1280x1024 just for testing sake, but I must admit it does not optimally use the available room. but I remember the first thoughts when I realized there was no "fullscreen compatible skin" - as long as it doesn't look bad. That being said, at 800x600 with a custom background, it looks great. but I must admit: I am curious as to why you'd want to run a squeezenetwork device on a car.. :D Marsupial's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59182 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82748 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] better windows app to control squeezebox
The SqueezePlay user interface doesn't scale well to anything close to full screen on a PC. I created an 800x480 skin a while ago to fit a car PC touchscreen, which worked fine. But with the purely list nature of the user interface, I can't imagine what you'd do with anything much larger. It would be mostly empty space. If you could create a larger coverflow interface, or one that lays covers out in a grid, then it might make some sense, but SqueezePlay is as basic as basic gets and only gets ugly and less useful when it's made larger.

Re: [slim] better windows app to control squeezebox
Castalla... do you run Squeezeplay "maximized" ? I realised that if we set the launch option in windows to make the software run "maximized", that it will not be "re-sized" at its full size but only occupy it without resizing so most of the screen isn't being used. Its rather ugly. Might be what you are experiencing, seems somewhat similar to what you describe. For me, I had to run it "at the appropriate size" from the get go- which implied to specify the proper sizes in FullscreenSkinApplet.lua; plus having an application to "auto-maximize" the window for SqueezePlay. I have added it in the startup folder, so it now launch maximized when the computer is booted. Resizing it on the go seems to somewhat works too. Let me know if that helps.

Re: [slim] How does synch work? (squeezlite + 2x SB)
You can try reducing the alsa buffer time in squeezelite. I have good synching results with "-a 10:4::1", and even 8. I think the player defaults to 20. If you go too low, you'll get audio glitches. If I read the 10:4 right, it means alsa sends an interrupt and reads its buffer every 2,5 millisecondsÂ… Audio delay didn't really help me either. Start delay (as found on SB3) is not implemented but I wouldn't guess this could be useful or not. If you're using a small CPU, too much load at song startup may cause bad sync for a few secs. I don't think there is any way around that. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi Castalla. the files are meant to replace those already present in C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\SqueezePlay\lua\applets\FullscreenSkin (it couldn't hurt to make a backup.) I tried to create a new folder and make a "new skin" but haven't managed to get it to work yet, so it is in fact "replacing" an unused skin. then you start squeezePlay, and from its main menu you go Settings> Screen> Select Skin> it is called "Desktop Skin" The skin is pretty much WQVGA Large Print that has been extended to a specific resolution <- that was part of the original fullscreen skin, that I think was non-adaptive at a set size. someone who'd like a different resolution could very well edit the FullscreenSkinApplet file, and change if screenWidth < 800 or screenHeight < 600 then screenWidth = 800 screenHeight = 600 end to whatever resolution you want. the way I see it, the skin is adaptive and will work. here's screenshots of what it currently looks on mine. 145491455014551 Further changes is possible, but I feel this is an "acceptable" fullscreen skin that people might enjoy. +---+ |Filename: squeezePlay4.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14551| +---+ Marsupial's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59182 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82748 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
