[slim] [ANN] Squeemote 1.3.4 approved for sale
I'm happy to announce that Squeemote 1.3.4 has been approved for sale and should be available on the App Store shortly. This release contains numerous fixes and improvements. Here is the change log: * In response to user feedback, Squeemote has an updated control mechanism; single-tap now plays automatically whilst tap-and-hold presents a contextual menu. * Improved support for large libraries; Squeemote now downloads album lists in smaller incremental chunks. * Improved artwork handling; artwork is no longer downloaded whilst the album list is scrolling due to its impact on performance but there is now an option to pre-cache artwork (disabled by default). Scrolling performance in the album view is improved in general. * Improved caching strategy with the ability to refresh individual lists (including shake to refresh). * Better notification of download progress when fetching large libraries (animated progress view). * Dramatically improved music service support, including Napster, Rhapsody and Pandora. Tested with all of the major music services but should work with all. Better handling of display of music service items including information such as artist bios. * New Music screen moved into its own tab and now honours the server "new music limit" setting rather than only showing the last 50 albums. * Fixed numerous bugs with initial connection to server; detect if the CLI port is incorrect rather than failing silently and try and detect when the server IP/ports have changed by rescanning for the server. * More optimal memory usage and handling of low-memory situations. * Numerous other minor bug fixes and improvements. * New, improved icon!

That's interesting; I always thought that the Squeezeboxes were fairly dumb clients, with most of the work being done on the server.

[slim] [ANN] Squeemote 1.2, now with device sync!
Thanks to a quick turnaround from Apple this week (only three days), I'm happy to announce that Squeemote 1.2 is now available. The biggest feature in this release is the new quick device selector and device sync functionality. There is also some added extras such as browse by genre and other UI tweaks, various bug fixes and performance improvements. Here's a complete changelog: > > * NEW: Device synching controls > * NEW: Device power on/off toggle > * NEW: Improved pop-up device selection screen > * IMPROVED: Tweaked the current playlist UI and how it appears > * NEW: Browse library by genre > * NEW: Device mute control > * NEW: Library browser tab order can be reordered > * IMPROVED: Better data caching mechanism.

Enjoy the new release and if you've been holding off of trying out Squeemote because of its lack of device sync capabilities, I ask you to give it a try. Work on 1.3 has already begun in earnest.

[slim] [ANN] Squeemote 1.1 available in the iTunes App Store
I'm happy to announce that Apple have just approved the first update to Squeemote. The biggest new feature in this release is the improved support for music services and internet radio and there have been plenty of bug fixes and performance improvements. Here's a full changelog: * Added support for browsing Music Services and Internet Radio stations. * Improved handling of music service and internet radio streams on the now playing screen, including displaying the correct artist/album/title/artwork for music service tracks. * Squeemote will now automatically discover your server. * Added support for server authentication and improved the layout of the initial setup screen. * Reduced initial startup time. * Improved display of album tracks when browsing music library. * Artists list now respects "ignored articles" server setting when sorting. * Added "clear playlist" button to current playlist screen. * Improved responsiveness of volume slider control. * Added "disable auto-lock" setting to prevent device from going into standby. * Numerous bug-fixes and performance/reliability improvements. Work on 1.2 is already coming along and will hopefully be submitted to Apple within the next week. This is a smaller release which will contain support for Genres and a few more bug fixes as well as an overhaul to the way the local caching works. This means no more need to manually sync the albums list; it will instead check to see if a server scan has occurred recently and if so, it will update the cache in the background. I'm still working on player sync but this will probably not be done until 1.3. Enjoy the new release, and remember if you have any questions you can email me or ask me any questions on here. The best place to go for support however is to Squeemote's Get Satisfaction page: http://getsatisfaction.com/lukeredpath/products/lukeredpath_squeemote.

I have seen this on the odd occasion but it seems difficult to
reproduce. I've been doing some refactoring and code cleanup and some
streamlining of the startup code so hopefully this will go away. It
might be that the socket connection to the CLI is failing in some way.

Re: [slim] Squeemote 1.0 available on the iTunes Store
I've looked at setting up Squeemote as a streaming client but the stream seemed to have far too much of a delay for it to be usable. If this changes, it is definitely something I would look at. Regarding crashing on playlists, could you be more specific - does it seem random? Do you do something in particular before it crashes? Has it crashed anywhere else? Glad you like the devices screen. The main reason I haven't tackled multiple device playback is because I think its a hard problem to solve UI-wise. Its something I want to get just right and requires some thought. Re: powering off devices -most definitely coming. Its my biggest annoyance (about my own app!). Again this was more of a UI problem than a programming issue. I will work it out. Out of interest, how big is your library and how long did it take to sync? What about downloading artwork? I'm aware that performance is affected whilst this is happening but it should only happen when you sync (and I plan to add a feature in the next release to refresh artwork for a single album). -- Luke Redpath Luke Redpath's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The alert sheet method always seemed inadequate. It required tapping on a disclosure button to pop it up and it was far to easy to miss and actually tap the whole row, thus destroying the entire playlist. I would say this, but "touch and hold" works really nicely. You just hold the row for a second and it will flash to indicate its been added. The downside is that its not immediately obvious, but then neither is the swipe to delete gesture unless you know about it.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Naturally I'll be giving this a spin this weekend. Not too keen on the UI personally, seems a bit chaotic in places, but I'll reserve judgement. I'm most interested in seeing what its like performance-wise and how well it handles updates as a result of normal interaction with the server (e.g. web interface or normal remote). Also interested to see you've taken the approach of using an alert sheet to display "play now, play next" buttons. I took this approach to begin with but developed a new "hold to queue" gesture, with a normal tap for play now. -- Luke Redpath Luke Redpath's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iSqueeze for iPhone/iPod touch preview
The problem with loading a large amount of albums is an interesting one. I imagine the reason its crashing for you at the moment is because the request for the album list is taking longer than the timeout I've set (30 seconds) and my error handling in this error is probably a bit ropey. I could just increase the timeout (to say, 60 seconds) but that still doesn't seem like the ideal solution - you've still got to wait a minute for the list to load and what if you're library is even larger? One option is to break the list up in to sections (a-d, e-h etc.) a bit like the SqueezeCenter interface but this seems awkward too and breaks the A-Z index navigation.
