[SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control is now available for Windows Phone 8
Remote control for the Squeezebox system. Control your SqueezeBox players from your Windows Phone. This app controls Squeezebox players connected to a Logitech Media Server (Squeezebox Server) or MySqueezebox.com (including the server in the SqueezeBox Touch). Replicates almost every function of a Squeezebox Controller with an interface optimize for a touch screen. Trial Mode is limited to one hour and is fully functional. Requirements: Logitech Media Server version 7.7 or better (tested with versions up to 7.8). Use the latest version if you plan on using MySqueezebox.com too. A MySqueezebox.com account is required if you don't use a Squeezebox Server. You can create one from within the app or on the website. And of course Squeezebox players to control. Features: - Replicates almost all of the functionality of a SqueezeBox Controller, including the context menus and plugin apps. - Incremental list loading for fast navigation through the menus. - Works with both MySqueezebox.com and Logitech Media Server (Squeezebox Server) as the music source. - Automatic server discovery. - Customizable backgrounds for each player. - Works with multiple servers, players can be switched between servers. - Song Downloading - download songs from your server to the device. - Player Manager for easy syncing/unsyncing of players. - Customizable Home menu. - Can work behind the Lockscreen w/ option to display song info. Notes: - This app can be quite demanding on the server compared to other controller apps and as such may not work well with a server running on a NAS. - Use a wifi connection if possible. A mobile data connection would work if the server is setup correctly, but the performance may not be acceptable. - When connected, this app is constantly communicating with the server. If you're using a mobile data connection, this may incur a significant data usage fee. - Tested with the SqueezeBox Receiver, Boom. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS and Android, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm not sure what is used for transcoding downloads from the server, but is there any chance volume leveling could be performed during the transcode?

You should be able to find information on how to adjust the settings elsewhere in the forums. Basically it involves editing the custom-convert.conf on your server.

Windows Phone only supports a limited number of formats: mp3, aac, wma, and wav. Anything else will be transcoded. There's no way to change this and there's no reason to. When an app downloads files, those files are only accessible by the app itself except for media files which can be submitted into the system's media library. The media library will only accept formats that Windows Phone supports.

I cannot remember exactly why it's not possible, but I wrote a note to myself that it's not possible with Windows Phone 8.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control is now available for Windows Phone 8
I've been using your Squeeze Control app on webOS and am trying out a Windows Phone at the moment and installed your WP app. The phone is a Lumia 520 and is running WP 8.1 and squeeze control is working well (although there is the occasional interuption to the music when doing something on the app), but one thing that doesn't seem to work is the background setting. I was wanting to set a background colour, but it only opens up to select a photo and if I back arrow out, it takes me back to the photos until I either select a photo or kill the app. It's not a big deal, but would be nice if it can be fixed.

The background setting is suppose to open a dialog box first that allows you to choose a color or an image, just like the webOS version. It was working with WP8.0, I guess something in 8.1 broke it.

It's always the important words that you miss :) No I don't plan on making a windows phone version of SB Player. The main reason is that you cannot run apps in the background so it makes SB Player kind of pointless unless you plan on using a windows phone as a dedicated player. Also I don't think I can access the system's audio decoder on winphone, which means that I won't be able to support mp3 and aac since I don't have a license for them (which I would need if the app uses its own decoder). -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Sounds like good reasons not to do it. I will be watching with interest how the player goes on the Fire tv and Nexus player. Thanks for the update, the background issue is fixed. The what's new popup seems to come up every time I open the app. I assume it's not meant to keep doing it? This version may be slightly better, but the music still skips back a couple of seconds sometimes when the app connects if it hasn't been used for a little while. Having used it on windows phone a little bit now and comparing to webOS, there are some things I like better and others I don't. Managing playlists (reordering, deleting etc) was much nicer on webOS, but moving sideways between the screens on the windows phone version is nicer. If I had to pick between the 2 I would probably give webOS the edge, but that is where my (broken) heart is :) keep up the good work. If I end up on android I'll try out you app there too.

Not quite sure why it sometimes pauses or skips back the music when it connects. I'll have to look into that. The UI of the Android version is a lot closer to the webOS version. Android didn't have many obvious UI conventions, so I just copied the ones from webOS. Windows Phone came with such a rich and well defined set of UI conventions, I adapted the app to better fit the platform. The Android version also has more features than the Windows Phone version, since Android doesn't have many limits to what an app can do. You know, in some ways Android is becoming more like webOS. For example, in Android 5.0 notifications are shown on the lock screen just like it did on webOS. I guess this is not too surprising since the lead UI designer for webOS is now the lead UI designer for Android. Overall I think Windows Phone is a very smooth, attractive and simple to use OS and it's great if you're not too demanding about what you can do with your phone. Basically a good alternative to iOS (with the exception of not having as many apps). However if you miss all the different things that a wide open system like webOS allowed you to do, then Android is probably a better fit. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes, it's just simple timer that measures how long it's been since the first launch. An uninstall should reset the timer, but it could be that the state was automatically backed up by the phone. You can try deleting the app's data.

I like this so much I finally bought a license :). I really like how you emulate the menus of SqueezePlay so the LMS plugin I wrote just works. I am trying Spotify for a few months along with the 3rd Party Spotify plugin and noticed that the context menu for a Spotify track is not the same in your app. For example, if I search for a particular track in the Spotify plugin, the context menu in SqueezePlay has "Star Track", "Add Artist to Library", "Add Track to New Playlist", and several other custom items. In your app, it only has the standard "Add to End", "Play Next", ... items. Is there any way you can show the custom plugin menu items in your app? A wishlist item I have would be to tie the volume controls in your app to my AVR (Onkyo via IP). It might not be feasible but it would be very useful for me.

The menus in both SqueezePlay and Squeeze Control are generated by the server. It's the same way with the context menus, so it should get the same items.

It intercepts the volume commands and depends on a "fixed volume" output. It looks like your app doesn't issue the volume change commands if the player is set to "fixed volume". Any way you could add an option or something to enable this? I also noticed occasionally when bringing my phone out of standby directly into Squeeze Control, the screen never shows the "loading" message and is just empty. I can't seem to do anything to recover other than exiting Squeeze Control and launching it again. Sorry I can't narrow the cause down any further. One request I have is considering making changing players a little simpler. It would help to have the Player menu item where you change the player distinguished from the other items. Maybe have it at the top of the menu and a different color? I would also prefer the Player menu close when I select a different player (it is a little awkward to have to select "back" or click on the screen below the menu to close it). cncb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes, when Fixed Volume is set, the volume buttons are disabled. It was just the cleanest and simplest way of dealing with it. I'll add an option in the next update to keep sending volume up/down events when the volume is fixed. For the time being, does your player have digital outputs? If so you can use those to connect to the Onkyo. Digital outputs should always be "fixed volume". cncb wrote: > > I also noticed occasionally when bringing my phone out of standby > directly into Squeeze Control, the screen never shows the "loading" > message and is just empty.

Without further info it would be impossible to track down the cause unless I see it on my device. I think it may be device dependent though. cncb wrote: > > One request I have is considering making changing players a little > simpler.

You can also tap the player name again to close the menu. I don't like closing the menu after player select because the other selectors in the menu do not behave that way and I prefer consistency. Actually you can tap and hold the player name in the header bar to open a context menu to directly select a player. However, it's not really that useful because the tap and hold delay on WinPhone is kind of long and not adjustable. I only kept it in there because the Android version has the same feature. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control is now available for Windows Phone 8
Digital outputs on Squeezeboxes usually don't have a fixed volume. You might want to have a look at the "getexternalvolume" notification (it's in the CLI spec). IRBlaster uses it. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I am using the digital out of my Touch but if it is not set to "fixed volume", the Touch volume does affect the PCM output. wt0 wrote: > Actually you can tap and hold the player name in the header bar to open > a context menu to directly select a player.

After the update, try uninstalling and reinstalling. The keyboard problem is definitely strange. There's nothing special about any of the text boxes, the keyboard should just appear when you tap inside one. As to server discovery, make sure Wifi is turned on and connected. I find that the connection on my Lumia 920 can be a little flaky. Even when the icon indicates that it's connected, when you go into the Wifi settings, it will say "No internet connection" and I have to turn the Wifi off and on again to fix it. Also make sure the phone is on the same network as the server and you're not using a proxy. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ok, that's not a textbox. That's just a drop down. A textbox in Windows Phone starts with a gray background and turns white when you tap it. That field displays a list of available servers. It should find servers, but even on android sometimes that doesn't work, and on Windows Phone the system services needed for discovery to work wasn't even available until Windows Phone 8 so it's possible that some phones may not implement services correctly. You can still manually add servers to the app. Go the Preferences > Servers and tap "Add Server" then tap on the edit icon of the newly added server. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101661 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
