Re: [slim] How to download squeezebox desktop?
That's correct that it is not supported, and moreover, there are no plans to make it release-ready. It is maintained as a developers' tool, and available as a perpetual-beta product to end users. I've never tried using it as an over-the-internet player, but it works fine for me on Windows or Ubuntu as a controller for hardware SBs on the local network. It works fine for me as a software player on Windows, and once I get my Ubuntu soundcard issues sorted out I expect it can be a software player there, too. YMMV and all that. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to download squeezebox desktop?
I use Squeezeplay for Windows all the time. Basic functionality works great. It's a little wonky on initial configuration and things like the Facebook plugin don't work right (actually, anything SqueezeNetwork related doesn't seem to work right since it's not a physical player.) Eventually I can get it to connect to my remote library and all is well. -- mrfantasy --Mike http://last.fm/user/mrfantasy mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm not sure what you're including on anything SqueezeNetwork related, but a number of the streaming services do work with Squeezeplay connected to mysqueezebox.com: Last.fm, Slacker, Live Music Archive, Live365, and probably others. Napster works on Squeezeplay via SBS if you install the WMA plugin, but it won't work directly from mysb.com. Pandora works on Squeezeplay if you're a subscriber. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to download squeezebox desktop?
As far as I know, SqueezePlay isn't supported in any shape or form, and it's too buggy to be at all useful. I have gone back to Softsqueeze. Yes, it uses a lot more CPU, but at least it works. -- oivindi oivindi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

rickbeec;539536 Wrote: It uses exactly the same UI as all other SB UIs, so how can it be confusing? Actually the SqueezePlay interface is quite different from the older players, such as SB, SB2, SB3/Classic, Transporter, and Boom. I am pretty sure it can be used outside the local network. You should be able to connect to a remote server via Settings Advanced Networking Remote Libraries Add new library, but I've never tried it myself. All the usual cautions about secure transmission, opening of your server to the internet, etc apply. If you value any of the information on your server, you want to be sure of what you are doing. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to download squeezebox desktop?
I never get the menu choices you mention when I launch Squeezeplay from outside my home network, so I guess it won't work. Besides there's a serious audio playback bug where you can only play music through the speakers of your mac, and not through, say, a sound card, so it's pretty irrelevant at this point anyways. (I reported the audio bug a week or two ago, but no fix as of yet). -- oivindi oivindi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How to download squeezebox desktop?
My problem with SqueezePlay is that I can no longer access my server over the night at port 9000. SqueezePlay doesn't allow you to access your server unless it's LOCAL. Am I missing something here?

See my answer in post #2 in this thread. I directed you to 7.5, which is the latest release version, but I suppose you could use 7.6 instead (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.6). Whichever you choose will be beta software, because Squeezeplay is likely to be beta forever. And the latest version will change on a more or less nightly basis, but don't worry about that. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Squeezeplay is confusing. Most confusing: Is it possible to use it outside of the local network, like Softsqueeze?

[slim] How to download squeezebox desktop?
I have an SB3 and would like to run the Squeezebox Desktop which I understand replaces the Jive Squeezeplay etc. I do not see where/how to download this. Please Please advise. I have had my SB3 for several years but have recently only been using it on the MySqueezebox.com for Pandora. I have not been using it through the squeezeserver software on my MacBook. Instead I have been using iTunes with Airport Express to play my music. But, I would like to try using the SB3 again for this. I did download the Squeezeserver 7.5 and it is running but I would like the desktop interface thanks Larry -- lreinstein lreinstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14644 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
