Let'em just fix bug 6266 and I'll do that within a day in iPeng. I know how.

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze as application on iPhone
andyg;321113 Wrote: What's needed to fix bug 6266? Is this related to the Tuner issue? No. This is to be able to load media FILES (not streams) with iPhone. So the links to the .mp3 files (for mp3 files) that are already in the songinfo page could be used to play a file. You can use that to construct a page with a playlist (including the files) that iPhone would play. You cannot control it through SC anymore, but you can browse the DB and play files. I would say streaming Internet Radio to iPhone is less important since every radio that is not deeply sleeping currently tries to get a streaming app online for that so nothing SC needs to do. Of course, a real App that uses the stream or even understands the squeezebox protocol would be much better, but it's a start. I don't know what's needed to fix this (technically speaking), but I know that the server would have to support byte range access which means the client can select which portion of a file it wants to download at a given time. If you don't have an iThingy to test you can use QuickTime, I think it has the same limitation. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49991 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Softsqueeze as application on iPhone
Oh OK, just have the server support Range requests, that's trivial. I assume this is only an issue if you try to seek in a file? This solution won't handle non-mp3/aac/alac files though, as there is no transcoding built in to the download feature. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49991 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

May have something to do with power saving. So it will not load it at all if the byte range is not supported. I understand it will only work for file types QuickTime can play. As I said: it's not a good solution but a start... Good to hear it's trivial.

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze as application on iPhone
Well I got it working. Looks like Mobile Safari tries lots of different ranges to see what works best, maybe some sort of bandwidth detection. On my wifi network it ends up doing a ton of requests for only 63 bytes at a time. Quite inefficient and puts quite a load on the server but at least it works. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49991 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Oops I think that was just a bug in the response header causing it to send all those extra requests.
