Two issues here: 1. When Squidget finds it is not connected to the server during players retrieval, there is a bug showing no items instead of telling you its not connected. Will fix in coming release. 2. The default player icon is a laptop. This means that when Squidget loses connection, and while re-establishing one, it will default to that icon, allowing you to have a button to press on in the meantime. Not ideal solution (even a confusing one) but I'm open to suggestions.

New shiny Squidget brings you: Setting of different player per each Squidget (Starting a new widget asks for a player). New framework that enables crash reporting (In the unfortunate event that Squidget crash, a bug report can be sent - I will fix everything I receive so please use it). Fixed a crash when using iPeng remote playing. New icons for iPeng, Controller, Duet, Receiver, Radio and Boom. Cover arts on covers menu were minimized to reduce the need to scroll. Cover art now shows as is (no rescaling - per forum request). Better support tablets and landscape orientation on all dialogs. Indication when Squidget is sleeping (instead of scary sync Android).

Regarding crashes, I just integrated a crash reporting framework. You will be able to report those and I'll be able to avoid them :). Regarding the Squidget service process still there - there is nothing I can do about it. It's an Android documented behavior in which when you signal the system to stop a service, it marks the service as unnecessary, and keeps it until it needs the resources this service claimed again or until an unknown period of time. I can not force the OS to kill it (at least with the permission set I request for Squidget - which I try to keep minimal). I will look into implementing Squidget service differently so that it will use a non persistent service in the near future. Like you, I don't like to see a running service in the application menu.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
No need for screen shots. I believe you. It's just that I have just finished supporting different player for each widget and I forget many of them on different home screens. Is there a tool you use to get images of all home screens at once? Has Squidget crashed before you run into this scenario? Try adding a Squidget and removing it and if that doesn't solve the issue, I'll send you a debug APK to figure it out.

Henry66;628974 Wrote: > It is more likely because I never use these functions and have no > interest in them. Some way to look up the function of each button would > be useful, IMO. Squidget is an Android widget. Android widgets don't allow you anything except reacting to click event. No long click, sliders, just single click. I thought of setting some sort of manual on Squidget blog, but: a. It is very unlikely that any one will read it. It's either the UI is well thought of, or people won't use it. So if you think the repeat is something you need to "look up the function of each button" , then I probably need to change it. Would a textual indication work for you? b. Squidget is new and therefore changes every few days (especially the layouts). Once I get these stable for a few weeks, I'll document at least the 4x4 layout. In any case I believe it will probably be read only by people planning to purchase it rather than actual users. c. In general, you can press anything on Squidget with no damage to your music library / server settings. It's read only. So go ahead and press those buttons and see what happens.

I think it's inappropriate to compare two products here, especially products which I believe are not even competing, so I'm trying not to go down that road. Squidget is a widget and the other apps out there are applications. It would be like comparing Apples to Oranges. Squidget is young and fresh, and does not provide some functionality for now (like browsing artists or albums etc. - Instead it provides quick search functionality for the time being). It is being built these days, so any user has plenty of influence on its content, layout ,features and bug fixes priorities (and if you read this forum thread you can see that this is actually happening). Squidget has a lot of different layouts to fit different screens & different user needs. It is still not as stable and robust as I want it to be, but I will get there soon. Squidget is intended primarily to replace your IR remote while providing plenty of additional value where other "slim apps" usually attempt to replace (or in the case of the Logitech app just replicate) Logitech full featured Web interface (A web interface which is not the shiniest star out there IMHO, but thats how people are used to consume SqueezeBox products for a few years, so I cannot blame Logitech). It is however a widget, and as any Android widget: -It is always on and visible in a home screen. In my case its the main home screen, so when I turn the device display on I see it. It is just instant! -You can use it while viewing / using other widgets (If you dont use the gigantic 4x4 version). On one hand, I think its just complementary to any other slim app because: -It still has some missing features & functionality -It is a widget and as such will never be able to provide a full application experience (see first thread pages regarding Android widgets limitations). Saying that, most widgets I have been testing are far behind Squidget in terms of interactivity. It's just too complicated. Try Winamp widget for comparison. On the other hand I think its a must have (and thats the main reason I decided to develop it) because at least I feel that in many situations, I just need an instant remote. And I think thats where Squidget Excels. BTW - of those "slim apps" you mentioned, I personally prefer SqueezeCommander, and had just removed the Logitech thingy today. So for your questions: 1. I truly believe so, but I'm not really objective here, so I guess you will have to figure it out on your own :) 2. I have SqueezeCommander (and I have tried other "slim apps"), I think anyone with Android who loves his music collection should have SqueezeCommander. Even so, I decided to develope Squidget, and use both constantly. I think that since Squidget is still cheaper than a pack of AAA batteries for your IR remote, it's a no brainer decision. Try it, you won't look for your IR remote again.

That's me listening to my dynamic playlist (by Erland) called 'Top rated songs not recently played'. I presses the playlist button to show it (the icon that looks like a notebook / writing pad). Some other tricks you can do when you open the playlist is to tap a song and jump to it, or long click to remove a song from the playlist.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Hi, I got several questions in e-mails and PMs regarding resource usage by Squidget. So I thought It is best to clarify it here: Squidget goes into sleep mode (not processing anything or communicating with the server) in the following cases: 1. When your current player is off or paused (That will change a bit soon, when I add player per widget functionality). 2. When you turn the device screen off. In fact it remains idle until you: 1. power / play a player 2. rotate the phone (if your home screen supports it, then sleeps again - I 'm not sure if it actually wakes up - It may depend on the implementation of the Home Launcher) 3. change WiFi state 4. turn the screen on If in these cases it fails to reconnect it will try again 3 times every 3 seconds, then 3 times every 1 minutes, then once an hour. If network bandwidth is an issue - note that the reconnect attempt uses just a few bytes. If you are abroad and roaming to a different network it's probably best to remove Squidget from the home screen. I'm about to add a setting to the configuration to toggle it to connect only over WiFi. There should be no issue of using resources (CPU or battery). You can check it at Menu -> Settings ->About phone->Battery->Battery use. I believe you won't see Squidget in the list there. I see 2% after a full day of coding and debugging. When I tested battery usage I also tried keeping screen on permanently when playing music. Then I reached 5% battery for Squidget 4-5% WiFi (and also 60% display). I guess however that no one uses a phone like that. This issue is of MAJOR importance to me as it makes the difference between being a usable widget people use daily on their home screen to something people stop using. I appreciate further comments about power usage - especially if you experience any battery drain caused bu Squidget. -- ganjastone Squidget - Android SqueezeBox Widget http://mysquidget.blogspot.com ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86993 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Hi there, I fixed all FC and connectivity issues others and myself encountered. Sorry about these. Also changed back the rating mechanism and layout that irritated many users. Modified 4x4 behavior so that rating is much easier. Many layout improvements on all widgets. Added semi automatic server discovery - still needs improvement, yet it really reduces the time to set up Squidget. Added current player name display on all widgets. Added progress bar to 3x4 & 3x3 widgets similar to 4x4. As usual all widgets can be displayed in landscape & portrait (If you have such a home screen - just make sure to add them when in portrait mode, and then rotate). Enjoy it, Avi PS - next release will probably introduce player per widget (currently if you place few widgets on the home screen - all of them represent the same selected player). The one following it is planned to support playlist drag and drop songs manipulation.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Hi there, Time for a new update. Here goes: Bug Fixes: Fixed a sync and rating issues related to internet radio stations. Fixed Power state button when playlist is empty. New features: New layout 4x4. Progress bar in 3x4 & 4x4 layouts. Rating is available on the large layouts inline (no pop up dialog). Alternate volume mechanism between the +/- there is an icon that pops up a volume slider. Added automatic refresh every 5 seconds . Screen off + pause + power off turns off automatic refresh. Layout polishing. Player button was enlarged on all layouts. Known issues: Sony Experia problems displaying the widget on those small displays Player names containing accented characters may display improperly. Automatic update is an awesome feature, however the way android implemented Widgets before 2.3 imposes heavy resource usage on every update. The outcome is that every update (every 5 sec) there is a resource consuming operation (memory spike of around 1MB for a few milliseconds). Notice it may impact the performance of your device. Please let me know if you feel any impact. The devices I used for testing showed no impact but these are relatively new devices. Weaker / older devices may behave differently and I may need to tune Squidget for these.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Thanks strindberg, Actually I've been quite busy solving all the reported issues so far, and the coming release solves the internet radio issue reported also by Flattermann. It also solves all other reported issues so far, except the Sony Eperia - see below. In addition, all layouts were polished to look better and to increase usability, and all layouts have larger player switching buttons now. I think it would be a bit complicated to find space for player name on all layouts, but I'll look into it when I add support for player per widget feature (currently if you use multiple widgets, all of them present the same player). I'm thinking of customization options to enable you to pick what you want to see but at least at the moment, until getting further feedbacks I prefer to have it clean and simple. There is a new nice looking 4x4 widget which I developed as well where I integrated in-widget support for rating and a tiny progress bar. Take a look at the attached screen shots of what's coming tonight. Also added an alternative volume control which functions in parallel to current +,- buttons. There is a new volume icon on all layouts that pops up a slider for instant volume changes. All widgets now auto-refresh every 5 seconds when the screen is on, to reduce situations where the view was not up to date. On screen off, the widgets are put to sleep until the screen is on again in order to save battery. Regarding the Squidget button, it's the application logo. It was not intended to be a button, I just have no space for any about disclaimer, so I used the logo. It's not going away... I had to add an annoying pop up that you will see only once when Squidget is upgraded or installed. It explains how to add a widget (specifically Squidget) to your home screen. I had several support issues with that and even some refunds due to that. I am also still struggling with those tiny resolutions of the Sony Experia. If you read this post and own such a phone - Squidget still does NOT work on these devices properly. I'm on it though. I truly appreciate your feedback. It helps a lot to make Squidget better. Don't forget to upgrade to the latest release tonight!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Hi Arris, Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate any feedback that enable me to improve Squidget. Android Widgets are very limited, but even so they are such a killer feature that I can't understand how Apple didn't integrate something similar. It was one of the main reasons for me to choose Android over iPhone. I'm indeed aware of the screen state (on / off) and will poll status every 5 seconds in the coming release when the screen is on. I also take the comment regarding the player icon and will go over all layouts to enlarge it. I suggest you try the other layouts. I think you might find the 4x2 very convenient and it spares some real estate. It shows the basic controls people use most and you can switch its layout to less used controls pressing on the orange button on the side (4x1 uses the same layout toggling but the controlling buttons are a bit smaller (still they fit perfectly on my HTC Desire HD) and I guess if you have small display / large fingers / low co-ordination (like my wife :)) you won't find it useful).

Fixed a rating display issue. New 3x3 Layout! Important Notice: Squidget 1.0.6 new layout was tested on emulator only for low resolution and works on QVGA (which according to Android developer documentation is the smallest screen (240x320)at the lowest density (Low density (120), ldpi). However, manufacturers of those devices with small displays tend to implement their own home screen modifications to make the device usable.

Also, is there a way to pick the > player that is controlled by the widget? First of all, sorry for the long post. Here goes: I expected issues with internet radio services (flatterman already encountered something like that which I'm already investigating). Unfortunetly I live in an area where those services don't operate - so it is a bit difficult to test & resolve. I'm working on getting a ViperVPN or similar service to help me check those. I cannot commit on a target date to fix that, but I'm working on it. Regarding operation from another remote or web interface - that was a design consideration. At first I developed 2 alternative polling mechanisms: 1. Get player status every 2-3 seconds. 2. Connect with comet, where the server constantly notifies the widget about status changes of players. I removed both of these because Squidget is a widget and not an application. Android can put applications on pause state, and an application developer can stop those notification techniques when the application is paused. An android widget (at least up to 2.2 or 2.3) only gets notifications from the android system when it's placed to/removed from a home screen. Therefore it always operates. If I did polling of server status, it would be constant polling which means massive battery drainer, even if you don't see/use the widget. What I can do in this context is add a small refresh button, which can also assist in case people go far from their access point and then come back into range and want and instant refresh. Regarding the time progress, again android widgets are very limited compared to applications in terms of the UI elements you can use. there are around 3 layouts you can use and about 8 control objects you can use. I use android chronometer which is a set and forget timer, and is the only way to progress time on a widget without updating every second (to save CPU). Making a timer that counts back means plenty of CPU usage. If you are using Android, I suggest visiting Settings->about phone->battery->battery use on a daily basis. You will see what drains your battery there. You will never see Squidget there. That was a main design goal. Regarding switching players, there is a small icon that looks like a SqueezeBox 3 player. Try it out!

Hi dear people, Yet another update. This one packs support for Landscape layouts for all the widgets. It also fixed activities like open player, search, playlist etc opening only in portrait. All these are now auto rotating (and scrollable). This means you can use it on Tablets properly and on home launchers like LauncherPro that enables auto rotate of home screens. The landscape layout are not as polished as the portraits so if you have suggestions to improve them just shoot. In addition a dear forum member requested that search music will allow adding search result after the currently playing song. Well, it's in 1.0.4 as well.

Hi Pippin, Sorry, just tested it on 240x320. I must say its long name is probably a fail attempt to cover up the lack of pixels :) Unfortunately it will not work on such a small display and I fail to figure out how to modify every layout to fit in such a small screen. Even if I put the effort on supporting such a small display I find it hard to believe it will be usable. I already get feedbacks that on medium sized screens 1x4 is not usable. I personally use HTC Desire HD with the smallest widget but my device is huge.

Hi Pippin, Here goes: I just tested 480x320 - The Widgets sizing 4x2 and 4x1 works well, 4x3 doesn't. 4x3 is just too big for such a resolution. There is also a problem with the activities they open (selecting favorites, search, select player, config, etc. These were designed to be displayed in Portrait view and not Landscape (and I force them to display that way as over 90% of Android home screen works in Portrait mode. This of course can be modified if there is such demand. Going to test 320x480 when I wake up. I'll keep you posted.

[slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squidget - A SqueezeBox Widget for Android
Hi precious people of the forum, I am happy to present you: Squidget - the first SqueezeBox widget for Android. Squidget is available on Android Market. Just search the market for 'Squidget' or 'squeezebox widget', or click this link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stone.sb. I started developing Squidget since I wanted something 'instant' to control my music. Something that is in front of me the moment I turn the phone on. What I really needed was a widget to replace my IR remote for SqueezeBox - nothing fancy, but something that is always available (and the first version was actually based on the mini remote). As time passed, I thought presenting whats playing would be really nice. Then it evolved and friends and family began using it requesting more functionality. When I started developing it, it was not intended to be a market product but I think it has reached a level of maturity that others can benefit from it as well. Hence I decided to upload it to the market yesterday. I'm very interested in making it a full product, and intend to put considerable effort supporting additional functionality. It is now available for 0.99 just for a few hours. If you like it, write a review. If not, or if you encounter a problem or have a feature suggestion, let me know at squidget.h...@gmail.com.

[slim] Computer hang or Slimserver stops
Hi, 2 very weird scenarios: 1. Not SlimServer related but maybe someone solved this before. Computer hangs when accessing 3 FLAC files (Computer hates Alanis :) ). ChkDsk found nothing. It is an XP Pro machine. It hangs even if I try to copy them. to override this I renamed them to a different extension so that SlimServer won't accidentally access them. Any idea what could go wrong? system logs shows nothing. as if there is a power outage when I access those files. 2. 2am daily, music stops on all 4 SB3s. very annoying as baby kid used to sleep with classical music. It is like a daily alarm. baby cries at 2:01am, I wake up, go restart music and back to bed... no alarm or scheduled activity I could find on server, nor rescan. all these happens between 8-9am. must get some help on this as baby refuse to sleep without classical music.

If the tags are properly set, and you dont care much about filenames (I only use file tags in SB) you can use any automated tool like tag & rename, foobar2000 or any standard renamer and just assign them autonames. If I'm not mistaken, with tag & rename you can even copy the title tag to the file name with your chosen character set. -- ganjastone ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37069 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I cannot reproduce it either with an exact sequence of events, however most of the time it appears to be broken. I think even if you open a bug with your workaround, it can help a developer understand the problem. In addition we (any one with non English songs) can vote that we are interested in a fix. My experience with voted bugs is that they are fixed over time. -- ganjastone ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33449 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 cannot be found on Slimserver after a power outage
I had very strange phenomenoms after short power spikes, in which 3 of my sb3 failed to connect to server. after struggling quite a lot with it, I found the faulty link to be an edimax switch that is on the way, and faile to restart itself properly after the power outage. disconnecting it for 10 sec from the power supply and reconnecting it solved my problems. It happened 3 times, and it works like magic. give it a try. -- ganjastone ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33753 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
