Re: [slim] Wimp app... so stupid...
I don't know WiMP's API but if it's similar to Spotify's (which has this problem, too), it's simply not possible to tell before you open it. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88969 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wimp app... so stupid...
I'm not using SBS, only MySB, and my language setting is Sweden. And I've paid :) pippin;642812 Wrote: > There seem to be tracks on Wimp that can't be played. > Ah! This is it! Looking closely it says (in Swedish) that the record company forbids streaming of these tracks... OK... so the app is maybe not stupid, but why the h-k should tracks that cannot be played be listed... they should be grayed out or something and not clickable if they should at all turn up.

Re: [slim] Wimp app... so stupid...
Hm, now that I try this again I can't seem to actually play anything from WiMP anymore. I still don't see your symptoms (it loads the playlist just fine), just actual streaming doesn't seem to work. It did tonight when I tried this (After your post). -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88969 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Is your country setting in MySB really Norway (although that shouldn't matter since it worked without that for me, too). -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88969 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Nope... that's the way it should work, and I thought it did work that way, but it doesn't. Not on the Duet controller, not in Squeeze Commander. On the controller: * clicking play with a song selected, just "shudders" * middle button click on a song, just brings up details about the song In Squeeze Commander * touching a song, just brings up details about the song * long touch does nothing I really don't understand this.

Re: [slim] Wimp app... so stupid...
Hm, works fine in iPeng so I'd say try: On the Controller, press the "play" button on the track you want to play In SqueeezeCommander, "hold" the track and then select "play". -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88969 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Wimp app... so stupid...
Anyone but me using the Wimp app? For sure not the developers... This has bugged me for a long time, but today it really made me flip! Do the following: 1. In the Wimp app search for your favorite artist 2. You get a number of artists, albums, and tracks. Looks good... 3. Click Artists, and then the artists name, and then that artists albums 4. So you get a number of albums listed, click one of those 5. You get the songs of that albums listed 6. Click one of those 7. You get a page listing the title, artist, album etc... But how the f to you get that track to play? The only thing that allows you to get further is to select the artist again, and then you're on the round-a-bout... back to Albums... This is on my Duet controller, and/or on Squeeze Commander. Something is not the way it should be here. That Wimp app is seriously dysfunctional, and the people developing it should be sentenced to five years of using it before being allowed to touch anything but themselves... -- OppfinnarJocke // OppfinnarJocke SqueezeBox Duet, Controller FW 7.5.4 r9408, Player FW 69 Main use: Wimp and internet radio through MySB.com OppfinnarJocke's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22307 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88969 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
