Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
+1 on SP crashing right after launch. Maybe a few more details will help point to the issue: - 2 SB Recievers - Only connected to MSB.com for streaming (no server, no mp3) - seems to happen when both SBRs are turned off - if i access MSB.com and use the online remote to turn on at least one SBR, SP launches and runs without issue. - this happened with the previous version, this morning after i expereinced the problem again, i installed the latest version and still had the same crash. - it also seems to occur after i have not used my sb for a bit. Once ive used mysb.com to turn on one sbr its no issue -ok as i was typing this it, streaming stopped, sbr was still on, and SP started crashing again. Hitting the remote on msb.com fixed it as outlined above. Hope that helps to resolve it. If there is anything i can test or do to help out, let me know, -- goody goody's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Apple's Airplay coming soon...
My two cents on this: Apple entering your market is never good. There are millions of iphones, ipad, and ipods that will be capable of streaming content. If they license airplay to 3rd party manufacturers, there will be hundreds of devices that they could stream to. Just look at how many ipod docks there are out there! The starting point is a $99 apple tv to start streaming to my home theater system; typically the best audio setup in a house and located in a main area. Also, lets say i own an iphone and go to buy a new audio component, it will be logical for me to choose one with streaming from a device i own. Also remember the mass market are not audiophiles, so simple streaming from a device they already own makes sense. I also read in one of those articles that synch between multiple devices will be supported. All of that is not good for sb as we know it. It will not be priced competitvely or have the simplicity that the mass market will demand. So what do you do if you are logitech? You team up with google and google tv. I think there is a reason that you cannot buy a receiver anywhere in the U.S. I also think moving the Touch to be logitech exclusive are both signs of the direction we are heading. Logitech are focusing there resources elsewhere. Lets face it, a $300 touch as just a music streamer is no longer relative against an ipod/airplay combo where pricing will start around the same but is capable of so much more (apps,movies,ebooks, portability etc). Plus people will already be invested with their idevice. My theory is that logitech is no longer focused on squeezebox devices, but on google tv and that in the next few weeks we will hear an announcement that it will ship before the holidays. It will be the streaming device of choice. I dont think that is the death of sb or that we all will have to leave our devices behind, but that the sb ecosystem will be integrated and rolled into google tv. Im sure that google/android wants the same features as wellthink what happens if all android devices becone logitech streamers! This is all just a theory and im not hating on sb. I still love my setup, but just really curious as to what the future holds. -- goody goody's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Apple's Airplay coming soon...
Is BridgeCo the foundation for 'Made for AirPlay' Apple accessories? http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/09/is-bridgeco-the-foundation-for-made-for-airplay-apple-accessor/ Hands up if you've ever heard of BridgeCo. No? Us neither, but that's about to change following a CNBC report detailing the company's relationship with Apple. BridgeCo is in the business of embedding its network media processor and software stack into its partners' audio equipment to enable wireless streaming. Now, according to a CNBC interview with BridgeCo CEO Gene Sheridan, Apple decided sometime last year to make BridgeCo an AirPlay launch partner. As such, any vendor that embeds BridgeCo's newest tech will be able to accept streaming audio (and its metadata) from an iTunes library or handheld iOS 4.2 device -- there's no mention of video or picture streaming although AirPlay supports both. According to CNBC, audio gear should start arriving with the BridgeCo software in time for the holidays allowing iTunes users to mix and match their favorite equipment with a common software. What that means isn't exactly clear, though BridgeCo does offer the ability to link systems into a distributed home audio network that includes a party mode where all speakers are synced to play from a common source. Importantly, according to Sheridan, this is the first time that Apple has opened up its iTunes software to a third party, giving it a glimpse at the source code. -- goody goody's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Logitech Revue with Google TV
http://blog.logitech.com/2010/06/16/logitech-revue-with-google-tv/ Yes, its true. The name of our Google TV companion box will be Logitech Revue with Google TV. Why did we choose Logitech Revue? At Logitech, were known for certain kinds of products peripherals, video calling, entertainment control, streaming media . Logitech Revue does everything were known for and more. So it couldnt just be the Harmony Box or Squeezebox TV or, even worse, the Logitech TV Hub (although believe me, weve discussed them all). The meaning of Revue is a type of multi-act theatrical entertainment that combined music, dance and sketches wildly popular between 1910 and 1930. Logitech Revue is a companion box and controller that brings the experience of Google TV to your TV screen. It combines everything on the Web, cable or satellite content, apps, video calling and more that will be wildly popular between 2010 and 2030, until we reinvent interaction again. And there you have it Logitech Revue with Google TV. We cant wait to tell you more about it this fall. In the meantime, to get all the latest updates about Logitech Revue with Google TV, please sign up at logitech.com/news/googletv. -- goody goody's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79767 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
