Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Product Announcement - Squeeze Mobile
Wow, this was a discovery, I was looking for a similar tool to stream my music and mostly to transcode some of my radio stream so I can listen to them in the car while travelling and while at work without wasting too much of my precious download quota. This app was perfect for it and it does a decent job. Buffering takes a while but eventually, the stream starts. I will play with some settings in Squeezecenter and see if that helps. While playing around with it (only have it for 10 minutes) I found out that it doesn't support OPML lists. While it opens my favourites (which is an OPML file anyway), it doesn't open subfolders in favourites. Developer, can you please have a look at this. -- jabba jabba's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Product Announcement - Squeeze Mobile
Nice app, if I could get it to work! I have read this thread, but no one seems to be having the same sorts of issues I am having. I am using an iPod Touch, not iPhone, so all my streaming is across my own wifi network. I can stream fine from Squeeze Center across this network to Winamp, and iTunes running on a wi-fi enabled laptop, so my setup should be OK. But when I try Squeeze Mobile it never plays reliably, generally stopping playing after about the first second, and often bombing out to the home screen. I once did get it to play for a full two minutes, but then it died again :-( I am playing flac files, as pretty much all my collection is flac, and lame is transcoding fine. I am running 7.4.1 of Squeeze Center on Win2K3 Server on an Intel dual core PC (6420 @ 2.13 GHz) with 2Gb RAM. When transcoding flac for Winamp the PC is cruising at about 3 or 4% CPU load. I have tried sitting in various different parts of my house thinking it may just be network connection, but it makes no difference. Sometimes it seems that it has a problem flushing the buffer as I can choose to play a song, but the song it starts to play is the previous one it was attempting to play.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Product Announcement - Squeeze Mobile
still having significant errors. I am trying to connect over internet. I have a dyndns forwarding ip to my homeserver. I have port forwarding on my router to my squeezecenter. I can see my music from the server fine on squeezemobile, I can see my other players fine, but now can't create a squeezemobile player. tried to go to now playing and press play then go to players but still doesn't show up. all my other standard players are showing up however. tried uninstalling and reinstalling SM but to no avail. Also, previously when this was working, my SM player was showing up but any time I connected and tried to play things, it still would only play 1-2 seconds then crash. I can play the stream.mp3 for other players no problem like winamp connection, etc. The reason the SM player sets up as a default 320kbs is because that is the default that squeezecenter uses on new web clietns. There are serious problems with this app. You should probably list it as beta on itunes. It's not ready. We'll try and help test for you to get it going but you shouldn't be charging $4.99 for this now. -- rme rme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1551 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I don't experience that even when I'm not on the same network. Even 3G I don't get that. I can tell you why it happens though. If your center can not transcode and send at the rate it's being consumed the playing will end. I'll add some exception handling with an alert to clue folks into that. Change the bitrate in Squeeze Center and let me know if you still experience that. Unless your library is actually 320kbs there is really no need to have a bitrate higher then your library. You just end up making your Squeeze Center do needless work. There probably will not be Wake on Lan as again I'm not even on the Lan. Also I'm only using jsonrpc over port 9000 and don't intend to have users need access to anything other than that. For music services if there is a proper full iPhone app already available for the service I don't have any intent on implementing it. For me it doesn't make a lot of sense to include Slacker so you can listen on your device when slacker has a dedicated app to do just that.

Squeeze Mobile simply consumes the stream in mp3 format. If you can consume the stream in mp3 format in Winamp, Itunes, Windows Media player then you can as well in Squeeze Mobile. I don't know about apple lossless but the screenshot on the web site and in the store of Hu Hu Hu - Ella Es Bonita is an mp4 250kbps right out of the Apple store. -- jtpowell jtpowell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31597 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Product Announcement - Squeeze Mobile
Great idea, just bought it. The setup is a bit clunky (no automatic server selection), but works.

When I then try to play a track, it sits there for a second or two, trying to play it, and then crashes back to the home screen. Tried forgetting the player, reinstalling the app, etc. Nothing.

Good idea, just purchased :) I've got it streaming from my server using my home wireless and that is working well. One useful function for me would be to enable tunneling over ssh as I only like to keep port 22 open to the outside world. Squeezeplay does this and it would be handy.

Push Squeeze on the player, then add some items to its list. When it's first registered it will be empty. Let me know if that doesn't do it for you. One of the challenges I had is when Squeeze Center was made no one probably ever thought about mobile 3G devices connecting to it (did those exist then?). Squeeze Center registers devices by IP address or MAC. We can't easily programatically get the MAC and the IP address itself could possibly be different every single time you get on the 3G network so I didn't really see a way around having to pick your player as it is now. I'm thinking about writing a plugin (trying to avoid extra pieces) that will tell the player what Squeeze Center says it is. I did skimp out on the automatic server selection. 99% of the time I connect I'm not in my house or on the same network so auto discovery wouldn't work. I did realize however that I should have support for multiple servers as the IP I'm using while inside the house is not the same as when I'm outside and it's annoying to have to change it so I'm going to move those things out of the Settings Application and make a seperate view for adding servers manually or auto discovered ones under More. -- jtpowell jtpowell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31597 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Product Announcement - Squeeze Mobile
What kind of security options does this app support? SqueezeCenter username/password logins? SqueezeCenter over https? SSH tunneling? IPSEC? Port knocking? It's generally considered pretty risky to make SqueezeCenter server accessible over the Internet. There's a page on the wiki that covers some options for making it safer ( http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/ConnectingRemotely ) -- I'm wondering which of those your app supports out-of-the box. It looks like one option might be using a different app like Port Knock Light (http://www.dannysung.com/main/?q=node/25) to get your server to open access. Best would be something like Michael Rash's fwknop daemon using single packet authorization. SqueezeCenter over https would be cool, but I don't know what that'd do to your iThing battery life, or the rumored 3GS hot potato troubles. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66723 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
