Squeemote 1.1 has now been submitted to Apple so it is now in their hands. Hopefully it won't take more than a week for approval.

I didn't do what you suggested because I the gesture conflicted with the wording and I wasn't sure what would be the best way to do this UI-wise. I have now thought of a nice way of doing it so I'm going to implement this in the next release. Regarding the playlists, I'm pretty sure it should pick up external changes to the playlist so I will investigate this over the weekend. A quick note regarding the "next release"; most new features discussed here will probably be in the next point release, 1.1, but I will probably release a 1.0.1 bug fix release before that happens as I don't want to delay bug fixes. -- Luke Redpath Luke Redpath's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Do you mean the now playing screen/current playlist screen updating
when the track changes? It should be, if not it is probably a bug which
I'll investigate.

Touch and hold shouldn't do anything on "All tracks" so another minor
bug there.

I have seen this on the odd occasion but it seems difficult to
reproduce. I've been doing some refactoring and code cleanup and some
streamlining of the startup code so hopefully this will go away. It
might be that the socket connection to the CLI is failing in some way.

Re: [slim] Squeemote 1.0 available on the iTunes Store
Luke,
is there any way it catches changes on the current playlist? Doesn't
seem to do that for me.
Another one: I tried a touch-and-hold on "All Tracks" and it just added
the first one, is this correct?
Also, the first time I used it I got some strange error that the
NowPlaying screen didn't catch updates to the player state (volume,
etc) and the "remaining time" ran into negative figures ("-1:-40").
Everything else seemed to work fine and I wasn't able to reproduce it
after restarting.

Re: [slim] Squeemote 1.0 available on the iTunes Store
I've looked at setting up Squeemote as a streaming client but the stream seemed to have far too much of a delay for it to be usable. If this changes, it is definitely something I would look at. Regarding crashing on playlists, could you be more specific - does it seem random? Do you do something in particular before it crashes? Has it crashed anywhere else? Glad you like the devices screen.

First impressions after 5 minutes use; 1. Like the logo and graphics, looks good. 2. Didn't connect to my first server automatically, but that was minor 3. Yes, agreed, iPeng has a lot of functionality, the more I use the more I seem to find. 4. I like the devices page, as I have 2xduets and a boom, with the soft player beta on my mac and iPeng gets a little cluttered for me when selecting the devices. Although I love being able to power off the device via iPeng. 5. It's a little crashy ;) has crashed on playlists a couple of times now, but I have just rebooted the phone to see if that sorts it out. 6. Its a good start i must say, nice layout. 7. Much better than Squidgy, but behind iPeng in terms of functionality. Its my first post but thanks to you and pippin for creating these apps.
