Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Windows 8 App
24hrs ago I'd never heard of Squeeze Remote but our purchase of a Windows Surface RT Tablet (basic model) meant I had to find a way to access my music. Source: QNAP419PII (Flac) - extensive (39,000+ tracks) collection running via ethernet to a Squeezebox Touch. I can access this library via PCs, Smartphones, and an iPad ... in addition to the SB Touch and SB Duet Controller. So I don't really need more access but that doesn't stop me ... So I bought Squeeze Remote and some hours later I finally got access :). There was nothing in the download which suggested how I should connect this interface to my QNAP library and the only UI was the menu option Settings / Connections from the RHS of the screen. A posting above suggests that you should drag down from above ... this has no effect whatsoever. After trying numerous times - and failing - to change the settings for jive.squeezenetwork,com under the Logitech Media Server option to something that represented my QNAP settings I finally opted to Add and start afresh and more by luck than judgement finally succeeded. Now I know I'm somewhat thick when it comes to PCs (I've been using them for only 25 years so I'm still a Newbie) but unless I missed something very obvious, how else is someone for whom the music - not the PC technology - is the prize, to know what you should do. Just how many other buyers, having spent their few �/$/Eur given up ... especially as the amount is (happily) minimal? I'm sorry to be critical as I support the efforts to bring this App to the market (since MS obviously feel that nobody wants to install LMS !) but I do find ... in my ageing years ... this technology baffling! As for the interface: I'll give it a day or two to get used to it but the thought of scrolling (swiping from the right) through hundreds of pages to get to titles beginning with letter S or T, etc. is not encouraging. Is there an alphabet jump somewhere that I'm missing?

Regarding scrolling, just pinch on the screen and it will zoom out to a alphabetical view. Many thanks for the immediate response ... I'm most grateful. Great, I can now get the alphabetical list (preceded by numbers) ... and find that I have to wait, having touched the relevant letter, for the album titles to re-appear (touching for too long merely takes me back to the Start screen!)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Windows 8 App
The crash happens due to a problem in the UI control provided by MS in combination with your somewhat HUGE collection of albums. ;) I'll try to address this issue later on by adding a conditional layout if the collection is larger than x. 7Illusions's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44332 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97998 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Erland, Just doing a restore from b/u which has stopped playback on my low power (1.6 GHz AMD Dual Core E350, LMS 7.8, Win 7) server and want to know if I need to do a Delete Unused Stats following a major re-organisation of music folders. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Local Player plugin and Squeezelite for Linux/Windows/OSX
Hey Everyone, I'm successfully using Squeezelite here at home on the same network that my ReadyNAS Ultra 2 is connected to, which runs my LMS (normally for my SB Touch that is over by the headphone area). I'm very stoked that I can use this at my computer so a separate high quality listening area while I'm working. However, I'm having trouble using Squeezelite over the web in my office at work. I tried installing Squeezelite via Local Player at work onto my LMS which worked fine, but then my laptop wasn't showing up as a playable device from the LMS. I didn't have a DAC connected at that time but I doubt that would cause the entire program to not start up? When I tried clicking on the Squeezelite-1.2.exe (or whatever the executable is called), it would pop up very shortly, show some kind of error message like Unable to (I couldn't read it because it would disappear so quickly), and then nothing would happen and I couldn't play music to my laptop. Can anyone tell me whats going on when I try and use Squeezelite remotely at work? Thanks. dahmwern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56260 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97766 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
