Re: [slim] [Announce] iPeng 7, the iOS 7 Squeezebox App for iPhone and iPad
I'm a long time ipeng and now ipeng7 (both iphone4s and ipad2). Relatively minor point in terms of usability, but it seems like ipeng7 is very slow on my iphone4s to load artwork. Long after any cache is built (so not just during that period where obviously it is building the art work database), when I select an ARTIST it seems to show loading for what seems like an extended time (not terrible, but maybe 15 seconds) before it lists the albums. But the artwork is not filled in until about 70 seconds. If I exit the artist and go back in to the same artist, it is much faster. If I'm scrolling quickly through a long list of artists, iPeng7 also seems to hang occasionally before letting me continue to scroll. Things are much faster on my ipad2 in terms of artwork and album loading. Is this simply a case of my iphone4s being underpowered for iOS7.1? I don't recall the same delay in older ipeng with i0S6 and older. I'm currently running latest iOS7.x and LMS 7.8 on a vortexbox (fedora linux) machine. I have about 80k tracks, 1800 artists, and 6000 albums. most have artwork. The setting in LMS about pre-caching artwork is turned on and there are indications there of two different ipeng7 custom settings showing there 150x150 and 300x300.

Re: [slim] [Announce] iPeng 7, the iOS 7 Squeezebox App for iPhone and iPad
Again: the caching message has nothing to do with artwork! This is clearly your server creating artwork thumbnails for iPeng 7. iPeng 2 used 150x150 thumbnails on everything. iPeng 7 still does so on iPad 2 because it doesn't have a retina screen. Your server created these thumbnails long ago so using them is fast. iPeng 7 on the iPhone 4S (actually on anything but iPad 2 and non-retina iPad mini) now uses 300x300px thumbnails which need to be created. They are being created whenever they are first used, not during caching, that's what iPeng 1.0 did back in the days and it got a lot of servers down on their knees. garym wrote: I'm currently running latest iOS7.x and LMS 7.8 on a vortexbox (fedora linux) machine.

Since you are using 7.8 (recent beta, I hope), I'd do a Clear Rescan of the library (actually an incremental rescan might do as well, just not sure) which will make the server create the thumbnails during the scanning process, after that everything should be fast. Or wait until everything has been loaded by iPeng at least once. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100515 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [Announce] iPeng 7, the iOS 7 Squeezebox App for iPhone and iPad
Well, 7.8 has a feature that allows Apps to register their own artwork format for which the server will then create thumbnails during a rescan. On 7.7.x a ClearRescan was actually counter-productive because it erased all artwork caches. I'd also try an incremental rescan on 7.8 first, it's so much faster. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100515 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Logitech Android Squeezebox controller app - doesn't show album art
Does anyone know why this is? I can get album art to show up using other app's but Logitechs main Android app doesn't display album artwork.. Or even the icon for smartmix. While I don't really care of the smartmix icon, I'm really looking to try and get album art to show up. I could've sworn it was showing before but for whatever reason I just have boxes with question marks in them now. I think I read that it's because I have security and authentication setup for the server? Is this the problem?

Re: [slim] Logitech Android Squeezebox controller app - doesn't show album art
I think you may be right about the password causing this. I don't normally use the Logitech app as Orange Squeeze and Squeeze Commander are far superior in my opinion. So I installed the Logitech app on my Nexus 7. Accessed a few albums and confirmed artwork was available. Then I enabled the password on LMS 7.8 and sure enough no albumart. Funnily enough those albums I'd accessed before did show artwork even with the password enabled, however other albums didn't. There might be a workaround that if you disable the password. Go to Album view and scroll right to the bottom this will allow the caching of art work in the app. Then reenable the password. No idea if that would work though. The other thing I'd say is personally I wouldn't rely on the LMS password, depending on why you want to use it. If it's for external access you might be better of dealing with the security via SSH tunneling or similar.
