Re: [slim] Facebook App - what's the point?
I've started a cause on Facebook about making Facebook revoke their decision to limit a SqueezeBox to one Facebook account only!(hope this is the right way to run a petition on Facebook?!).

andyg;467388 Wrote: Facebook asked us to remove support for multiple accounts, sorry. :( Can apps be made player-specific instead of global for all players connecting to a single mysqueezebox account? Or actually how about this: I have three squeezeboxes in the house. Can each one of those have separate mysqueezebox accounts (and thus separate app settings), but still connect to one local server? Speaking in the abstract regarding social networks, in a multi-member household you're going to have multiple social network accounts. In my house we have three FB users and two Flickr users, each with their own set of contacts and shared items. While I think it would be lovely to have multiple accounts on one player, I should at least be able to make the player most often used by my wife display her Facebook and Flickr stuff while the player most used by me displays my Facebook and Flickr stuff. Also regarding what's the point?, I second 'ddewey' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=467679postcount=17) and his sentiment that if you're an active Facebook user then you like this function and if you're not then it is of no use to you. Recognize that FB has more than '300 million active users' (http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics), and they are accustomed to being able to interact with FB from all kinds of devices from their phones to their XBoxes. It's a natural fit when you have a display screen. Indeed even with my SB3, the first news feed in my RSS screen saver is the status of my facebook friends. And note to Andy: the second feed is my wife's friends and the third is my son's friends. -- thing-fish ' Most Recent Tracks' (http://www.last.fm/user/thing-fish/?chartstyle=basicrt10) thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69234 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Another alternative is to have a separate MySB account for each player when each player is connected independently and directly to MySB. Those players can still all connect to one instance of SBS, but then any use of Music Services or scrobbling would be associated with the MySB account as set forth in SBS Settings MySB.com login info.

Hi, andyg;467388 Wrote: Facebook asked us to remove support for multiple accounts, sorry. :( That's really sad, although I don't see Facebook's problem if one Squeezebox-player would be chained to just one account. This way e.g. the bathroom SB Radio could be chained to my girlfriend's account and the kitchen's SB Boom to mine. But having this limited to one account only all my SB's can only be chained to one simple account...

As i do not see much sense in a facebook or flickerl inside a music player. Ok if there are interconection possibilites possible with a multimediaplayer (for xample xtreamer - make a cooperation) or squeeze is able to stream pictures to LCD orTV and make a reasonable Slideshow, that you can use different LCDs like a photoframe... for different places inside an appartment or the house - such can be some nice effect but is the squeeze a musicplayer i first? To sit on a chair 6 m away from the radio or the touch to see a picture makes not much sense. It makes sense to give some extra euros and to buy a Classic than a receiver if you own a duet oruse SlimControl or Ipeng. I own a Duet but i use Slimcontrol and the 2 Classic, because i can see and read the Display from 6 m distance? I can not understand that Logitech cancel to sell the classic in future. Is there a new young manager? At the moment i see for PDA or Pocket PC as Partner TelGen. If i look to their page i can read the following: Please note that due to a decline in sales, TelCanto will no longer be sold and supported after the end of 2009.

I hope Logitech managment take serious words with the responsible managers and find a way to recognize the concerns because these are exact the people that did help not less to make a good product. Maybee i hope they ask the old founder of slimdevices who did leave the company not so long away about his opinion, what to do.
