Please try with a small playlist (like 30 or so entries) and report
back if the issue goes away.
I know about the issue with long playlists. It has to do with the
playlist management I introduced for Drag'n'Drop reordering. To enable
that iPeng keeps the whole PL in memory and obviously the browser still
doesn't like you to access long tables.
To work around this issue would be a bit of an effort and I prefer to
focus on native instead. Since that will be the only "real" solution.

what do you mean by 'loads the page'? The artwork? I mean: iPeng
doesn't load a page on skipping 
What about the other controls: play/pause, volume etc. How much is the
delay between the time the volume change is shown and it actually sets
in?

I do. I don't see these delays. This is all well below 1s for me.
Again: please tell me exactly what you do?
Do you talk about load times for NowPlaying? From where? What is "the
page" that loads when you press skip? For me there is no page that
loads then, it just skips.
What is the reaction you see when you do volume changes? Change volume
up and down and tell me how long the delay is between the movement of
the control handler and the actual change in volume, is that also 5-7s?

Always happens to me when I update SC on Mac.
Maybe it's different whether you use the "Plugins" folder in the
"Library" path or in the "Application Support" section. Although with
the latter some plugins won't work.

Skins that don't need acces to a skin can go to 

Code:

Library/Application Support/Squeezecenter/html


Plugins that don't need to provide their own skin (that is: more than
their plugin files, like iPeng does) can go to

Code:

Library/Application Support/Squeezecenter/Plugins



but plugins that provide a skin that needs access to the plugin code
(e.g. iPeng) need to go into

Code:

/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Plugins/


At least that one gets wiped.Maybe the whole behavior is worth filing a
bug, maybe the best workaround would be to enable plugins in

Code:

Library/Application Support/Squeezecenter/Plugins


to provide their own skin...

OK, you're right, seems to have changed.
Problem is, you have to know what you do when taking the distribution
apart and all other platforms don't have that. So it's not a good
workaround from a plugin distribution perspective.

Yes.
Otherwise you would have to install in two places.
Also I AM sure it didn't work any other way until a few months ago
since I tried to keep different versions of the templates under
different names and couldn't. Would have to try again

[SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.1 on OSX: iPeng (or other plugins) installation update

2008-08-12 Thread pippin

Please note that since SC 7.1 the recommended installation method for
iPeng has changed. While up to 7.0 I recommended to install iPeng into
the preference panes (/Library/PeferencePanes.../Plugins) path I now
recommend to use

~/Library/Application Support/Plugins

"~" is you home directory
I also recommend to do the same for other plugins.

Why is that?

"Application Support" is the recommended path to place plugins,
however, this did not work on 7.0 for plugins including a skin. This
has been fixed so as of now iPeng CAN be installed into the
"Application Support" path.
It also SHOULD be installed there instead of the preference pane since
the latter is always wiped upon SqueezeCenter upgrades and you would
then have to reinstall all your plugins.

IF you move iPeng from one directory to the other, however you MUST
make sure you
- shutdown SC
- delete ~/Library/Caches/SqueezeCenter/plugins.yaml
- start SC
Or you will get a non-working plugin.

If you can live without using "shuffle" - that will help a LOT,
especially on 7.1.

Actually, I think as long as Apple is not fixing this native will be
the only way around it since the issue is pretty fundamental:

MobileSafari keeps only a small part of a longer page in memory and
discards everything else. It discards it so well, that the biggest part
of a long page is even removed from the active part of the DOM, and it
also has to be re-rendered if it is about to be shown again.
What iPeng 0.5 does is: it keeps the whole playlist in one big table.
This is the only way you can do fast scrolling and drag'n'drop since
you cannot interfere with the hardware accelerated scrolling and in any
case changes to the page would be way too slow. Now if you do a change
to that long list, and be it a minor one, means the part of the table
that needs to be accessed has to be re-generated. For long lists, this
is S L O O O W. As in absolutely, extremely, dramatically slow. For
comparison: for a table with 250 rows, changing one text field in every
row (re-numbering) will take like 2ms on Desktop Safari while it breaks
the 10s barrier on Mobile Safari. That's a factor of 5000 or so

Now I don't have a good way around this that would not either kill
d'n'd and fast scrolling or be quite complex. I could do paging (only
load 100 tracks at a time or so) but I prefer to work on native since
my time is limited. If I can spare some more time I might check if I
can further minimize access to the tables.

As mentioned before, there's one thing that is EXTREMELY bad: using
shuffle on SC 7.1ff. Why? When a track ends and you go to the next one,
shuffle no longer increases the index (position in the playlist), but
keeps the index at "1" and moves the whole playlist up one position.
For iPeng that means the whole playlist is being changed! Pooh. That's
where Safari (not iPeng) often crashes for long playlists.

As I said: This has nothing to do with JavaScript or internal handling
of data, it's pure DOM handling in the browser...

So: let's go native...

Yes, actually I can reproduce and explain it now. Maybe even find a
fix, although it will not be quick.

It's actually my favorite iPhone 2.0 bug :-( It's the reason I stopped
further development of the skin for now.

I didn't succeed to solve it, but I've got a workaround for you: for
the Random Play, set "Number of past Tracks" to a value <= 5.

Here's what happens:

Short: It updates the tracks, just Safari doesn't render it.
Long: The "-webkit-transform" CSS style you have to use for the fast
transitions has a bug in that content that is deemed "Off-Screen" from
other CSS styles (like position) sometimes does not get rendered,
independent of where it actually is. Tracks from 9 on are deemed
"Off-Screen", because that's where the physical screen ends.
Now, usually Safari fixes this when moving the affected area. Now for
"Random Play", when you reach the max number of "past tracks to be
shown", the area doesn't move anymore, because actually the position in
the playlist doesn't change anymore (it stays with this number +1) but
the whole playlist changes. But only the first 9 of the changed tracks
will be rendered by Safari.
Under some conditions I did find workarounds for this, bur not here.
The workaround I mentioned above works, because that way, only tracks
1-9 are shown on-screen and those get re-drawn just fine.

Does that help?

Oh yes, there is. In iPeng it's the figure at the bottom of the page
("recently played songs").

On the Default skin, it says
" Now Playing will show X upcoming songs and Y recently played songs."

Y is the figure you have to change.

It's meant to work, but it's a bit complicated - I actually forgot how
it works.

You can use iPeng's "MultiPlayer Control" on the NowPlaying plugin
screen which is MUCH more comfortable.
Just Go to NowPlaying, swipe left, to the plugins page and select
"MultiPlayer Control. If this isn't there, you have to activate it in
the "iPeng" plugin settings on SC's settings page under "Activate
De/Activate commands", but it should be "on" by default.

Now if you click that control you get to a page showing all your
players. Each player has a "sync" button (it's the one with the sine
waves). If you click it, the other players become inverted and you can
select a player to sync TO, that is, the first player will start to
play the playlist of the second one.
The First player will then be shown synced to the "Master". You can
unsync by pressing the "sync" button (looks different now) again on the
player you want to drop from a sync group.

Actually I feel this is the most comfortable Sync-/Unsync feature you
can get for SC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] iPeng 0.5 for iPhone / 3G / iPod Touch 2.0

2008-08-21 Thread pippin

OK, the installation looks fine.
A few more things:
I assume you did a fresh install and not an upgrade from an earlier
version of iPeng? If no, then please try to delete plugin-data.yaml and
restart the server. It should be found in one of the following
directories:
c:\Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\SqueezeCenter\Cache
or at
c:\Documents & Settings\\Application Data\SqueezeCenter\Cache
Vista:
C:\Program Data\SqueezeCenter\Cache

In that same folder (the "Cache" folder) there's a directory called
"templates". You could also try to delete that and restart the server.

You did restart the server (SqueezeCenter) after the iPeng
installation? If no, please do so.
Is JavaScript activated on the iPod/iPhone?
Did you change the configuration directory in iPeng manually? I will
have to look that configuration up and reprot back.

This looks like something isn't found (hence the delay: that means the
browser tries to load something the server doesn't deliver), but your
installation looks OK to me.

Have you tried to reinstall iPeng?

No bug, intention. The setting has no effect on web skins and iPeng is
meant to work like iPos and also, most people tend to play whole albums
instead of single songs.

There is a workaround. Adding a track (with the "+" button) will only
add that single track.

Sorry, I don't fully understand what you mean.
While you play a playlist locally, you can not get out of the QuickTime
screen. That's the way iPhone works.
When you are not playing back stuff, does it stay on the screen when
you change to another page (within "NowPlaying")? That should not be
the case?
Or does it just stick on top of the screen while you are on the "local
playback" page? That's a bug in Apple's QuickTime plugin and I don't
know how to fix it, but it should go away when you leave that page.

That was correct. In my configuration the iPeng directory is pointing
to the playlist directory (which by default is the same as the
directory for the music library).
Will have to check with Erland, but I think iPeng reads configuration
files from two directories: the one defined in the settings, and ALWAYS
../iPeng/Configuration

So maybe this causes trouble, please try to set the iPeng configuration
directory in the settings to something else.

No, that just means that you don't have CustomBrowse installed and is
fine.

You don't get any "file not found" messages in the log?

I will have to try this out on my Windows machine, but it will be next
week before I get access to that.

If there's more in the log around iPeng loading, could you send me a
longer log file? I'm not only interested in iPeng but also in WebUI
error messages.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Potential Solution for MusicIP/Music Folder Problem

2008-08-25 Thread pippin

Since you installed MIP according to the installation instructions in
the Wiki I assume you turned off the Music Folder (you did NOT enter a
path to your Library in "Basic Settings->Music Folder"). Right?
Just point this one to the top level folder of your music collection
and you will be fine, the Music Library menu item will show up in the
Library Menu. No need to use Custom Browse.
The library scan will take a little bit longer but on the other side
you can also access stuff that MIP has not yet finished analyzing
(which sometimes takes a while on my system).
This does NOT interfere with MIP's operation.

Phil,

would it be possible to distribute your patch as a separated plugin in
the meantime, that is: the patched plugin? Could be called "Super MIP
plugin" or something and become obsolete when the functionality is
merged into 7.3.

Think that would be useful for a lot of people (including myself), and
the license allows for it.

Or it the MIP "plugin" to deeply linked into the SC code?

Have you read this

and this
http://penguinlovesmusic.de/?page_id=31

And what is it you need help with after that? The first one is on
installation, the last one is on Use (and a bit outdated, but should
get you around).
If you are using WHS, please use the version I posted above for the

OK.
1. What is the OS you are running SqueezeCenter (SC) on?
2.  is the IP address of the computer you are
running SC on. I probably should have pointed that out more clearly.
The "Hints" section says the following about this (this is the full one
since I don't know your OS):

So it probably be something like "192.168.0.20" making the whole URL:
"http://192.168.0.20:9000/ipeng";. You can omit the "http://";.

You WILL have to make sure that your SqueezeCenter is accessible from
the outside, but if you have players connected and they are working
this should work, too.

Does this work?

1. Can you get the default skin to load (192.168.1.11:9000)
2. Can you access iPeng from your PC's browser under
192.16.1.11:9000/iPeng (NOT localhost:...)
3. Can you access iPeng from ANOTHER computer's browser under that
address?
4. Do you have any firewall software running?

The installation directory structure is correct.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2008-09-03 Thread pippin

Um, difficult case.
SC 7.2 I assume?
Does iPeng show up in the SqueezeCenter settings (under "Plugins")?
Is it activated?
Can you get into the iPeng settings?
This is a fresh install? Or did you upgrade from an older version of
iPeng?
BTW, I just recognize that I was wrong saying that your directory
structure looks fine, it doesn't have all the plugin parts (it should
have a directory "lib" under "server/Plugins/iPeng").
Which version of iPeng is this?
If this is the 0.5x I posted a few days ago you might want to install
the 0.52 and if it does not work install 0.5x on top of that.

Sounds like the usual Windows unzip error. I thought it only happens on

Goods news for all those who want to use iPeng's local playback with a
password authentication (e.g. remotely). There was a bug in
iPhone/iTouch 2.0 preventing this.
With Apple's 2.1 firmware this bug is fixed. The 2.1 firmware is
available now for iPod touch and the iPhone version is announced for
Friday.

Interesting. Didn't do that for me (it asked to install 8.0 first).
My main issue is that 8.0 crashes quite frequently (both PC and Mac).

I don't know the ReadyNAS either.
It should work if you can install any SC plugin on ReadyNAS. Did you
serach for "ReadyNAS" and "plugin installation"?

If somebody can help, I would be interested to get the instructions,

Thanks for moving this here.
You might also want to have a look at the ReadyNAS forum.
http://www.readynas.com/forum/index.php
I KNOW iPeng has to run on ReadyNAS somehow since there are quite a few
trackbacks from that site to my site describing how iPeng works. None on
installation, though, so I assume there will be general plugin
installation instructions or something. 
But people seem to use this configuration.

No, it's a possibility today.
Hence with the usual tradeoff between comfort and security
Precondition is that you have your PC accessible from the outside, to
do that you might need a dynamic DNS account, e.g. from dyndns.org. A
lot of routers support that out of the box so that you will not need a
software on your PC.

Then there are three alternatives:

1) open port 9000 on your router and connect it to your PC. Make sure
to enable password protection in Squeezecenter. Now you can access SC
through :9000/iPeng.
To be a little bit more secure you can redirect the port to something
else.
You will need iPhone/iTouch firmware 2.1 for this.

2) Jailbreak your iPod and install OpenSSL (No, I didn't recommend that
:-))
Install OpenSSH on your PC and open a tunnel from your iPod, this way
you can redirect SC's port to e.g. localhost. Pretty secure but a bit
tedious if you don't have experience with OpenSSH
Note that this will NOT work with the "official" SSH clients on the
iPod since "official" 3rd party apps can not run background processes.

3) My preferred solution: Create a VPN (virtual private network). The
big advantage is that the iPod supports this "out of the box". There
are three protocols available, I only know two:
a) PPTP is a Microsoft protocol and said to be not very secure. But
sine it's MS I assume there should be Windows solutions for this. 
b) IPSec. Secure IP. Tedious protocol but very secure and a lot of
implementations available.

Hm. I updated to 1.5 (from 1.4.something) today and now SugarCube
doesn't engage anymore.
Anything specific I have to do. I feel like I had this before but don't
remember how I fixed it.

SC 7.2 on ubuntu server. MIP works fine. SugarCube settings page works
fine.

And yes, I did restart the server. A few times.

You mean you want to listen to the stream on iPhone?
If it's really a stream (vs. files), that doesn't work. iPhone does not
support streaming (without 3rd party apps). Sorry.

Or does CNTROLLING sirius not work, as for the XM plugin?

OK, I had a look at it.
It seems the main issue is, that the XM plugin's "EN" skin
implementation does not work. You can confirm that by loading
":9000/EN" and browsing to XM Radio...
Now the "EN" skin is supposed to be the base skin that provides the
functionality for all other skins if there is not a specific
implementation for that skin, so since the base does not work, iPeng
doesn't either.

My way around would be: since the "Classic" skin works, I used the XM
plugin's code for that one and did a few adaptations to make it look
better on iPeng.

XM doesn't work very well with me (no sound, even though I can browse
the service), so it would be nice if you could try this. If it works, I
will either include it in the next iPeng version or ask the plugin's
author to include it with the plugin.

I'll attach a file. This contains a folder called iPeng which is NOT a
replacement for iPeng
Instead, unzip it and move that folder (and it's contents) into the
skin section of the XM-SKIN (that is ".../Plugins/XMRadio/HTML"), there
should already be folders for other skins ("EN", "Default",...))

Please give some feedback. Hope it works.

Just in case:

The important part, of course, is to download and install the iPeng
package first (steps 1 and 3)
Unchecking and checking the service had an "apply" in between. I assume
that's to restart the server.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly SugarCube (Automatic MusicIP DJ)

2008-09-17 Thread pippin

I really like your plugin, good way to have a constant music experience
without ignoring 90% of your library.

A few comments:

I would really like a feature to limit the length of a playlist the way
the "built-in" random play does it. I'm (obviously) usually using iPeng
to control my SBs and that becomes a bit unrespronsive with playlists
with several 100 tracks so I have to clear my playlist from time to
time. An automated feature would be my #1 on the wishlist.

Turning off the "slow fade" feature (the one to decrease the volume
with each track) failed for me. I turned that box "off" but it
continued to descrease the volume. I had to set the stepping to "0" to
really turn it off.

Is there something I missed on the "player sleep" feature? That looks
to me like SC's built-in "sleep" feature?

Keep up the good work.

BTW I sympathize with you on the charset issues. This is a constant
PITA that will most likely not soled until all systems finally start to
adopt UTF8 as a default (or something similar) - aka never.

Yes, I know. But the link provided by atz6975 was also leading to a

Does it show a progress bar for the URL? This was a quick hack so I'm
not completely convinced everything works well.

You could try again by DELETING the stuff above and adding the
following to Plugins/iPeng/HTML/iPeng/plugins
(that's a different directory from the last one).

If that also has the delay: could that have something to do with
logging in to XM?
It also has some added functionality in that it enables the "back"
button and shows the correct title in the title bar.
I will include that in the next iPeng release and that will also come
with a toolbar shortcut for XM.

Logging in and browsing works fine for me, but I cannot test playback
since obviously XM is not streaming to Germany (it doesn't work with
the other skins as well). Now playing shows the track title and XM logo
and everything but the SB remains silent.

Is that what happens on the other skins? There was some JavaScript I

that...

You mean IRBlaster?
I don't know that one, but from what I read about it I THINK it may not
work since it seems to override SC's volume and replace it with "volume
up"/"volume down" commands, while iPeng set's an absolute volume.

If that's true and there's a way to access these "up/down" commands
through the CLI (e.g. with the "button volume_up" and "button
volume_down" commands) it would be possible to build a workaround using
iPeng's own plugin interface, but you would not be able to use the
slider then but would have to click up/down icons.

Well, this SOUNDS correct to me. You say NOTHING happens? No QuicktTme
screen with an error message or something?
What format are the files in? Until the "download-transcode" feature is
implemented (probably 7.3) only file types that are supported by the
iPod work (that is: mp3, aac, don't now about others), definitely no
flac.

Hm... You didn't get an error message, right?
Do you use a username/password for SC and don't have iPod FW 2.1? But
that should give you at least an error message.
Do you have a Quictime applet at the top of the track list (a grey bar
with a play icon in the middle?)
Can you see whether the browser is trying to load something?

@IRBlaster: today's svn version of iPeng has an experimental volume
up/down feature on the NowPlaying plugin page. If somebody with
IRBlaster and iPeng could try that, it would help me a lot. If that
works (it does not work for NON-IRBlaster volume) I would include it in
the next iPeng release, probably even on the volume bar. But I have to
know it works, first.

That's OK, too. This list should be a little bit different from the
"normal" playlist in that it
- does not have an "x" to remove tracks
- It should have a grey quicktime plugin on top of the list. If it does
not, you've got a problem.  That problem may be that you don't have an
internet connection - I think the iPod downloads the Qicktime plugin
from Apple

On this screen you have to click a track and then playback should start
from that track. You will notice because the quicktime playback screen
should start up.

By the way, I dont know what IP Mixer is (I never used), but when presing
it happens the same as Local Playback..nothing... Could this help you?


Hm.. now you are confusing me. You said you get a track list when you click
local playback, that's different from "nothing", isn't it?

MIP is a different case. That one only works if you have the MIP software
running. Unfortunately SC's MIP plugin - which is what iPeng detects - is
enabled by default even if MIP software is not running. Again, there should
not be "nothing" happening but an empty list headed by "Empty" should show
up? Is that not being displayed?

@jotap
>From peterw's comments in the developer forum I understand that IRBlaster
theoretically COULD work with iPeng out of the box.
I feel your original question was the correct one: Did anybody actually
test that.
You may want to open up a new thread for that since I don't think everybody
reads the "iPeng support thread".

No, YOU don't have to download something. iPeng does that: It embeds
the plugin - that's the grey strip. It SHOULD be there, and look like
in the attached screenshot. If it doesn't, iPeng didn't succeed in
downloading the QuickTime plugin (for MobileSafari) from Apple.

It also should only need to download this once, after that it should be
present on your iPod.

Could you check whether plugins are enabled on your iPod
("settings->Safari->Plugins")?

I assume you are using Windows or Linux. Problem is not with iPeng but
with iPhone: you have to use Bonjour to announce devices.
So the only way around that is to enter the IP adress as a URL
(http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/ipeng), there's some hints on the
intallation page on PenguinLovesMusic. 
If you cannot reach it there, you've probably blocked the port with a
firewall.

Yep, that's what happens if you add all the Composer etc. information
to the Title, which isn't really needed in SC.
Scrolling doesn't work. I did try it but it doesn't work on iPhone (it
does _something_ but completely breaks the performance of the browser).
The one alternative is to change the .css file:
in slimserver.css (.../Plugins/iPeng/HTML/slimserver.css)
If you replace the three occurrences of

Code:


  white-space: nowrap;
  


in the "a.tapblock*" tags with

Code:


  white-space: normal;
  


That should do the trick.
It may not look good but should give you the full title as long as you
have at least a few spaces in it.

Yep. I suspect that has to do with some JS hacks I have to do to get
whole albums to play from a certain track (this is not supported by
SqueezeCenter through the WebUI). Trying again usually should do it.
There is also another issue with timers sometimes locking up on iPod
which keeps NowPlaying from refreshing. I have no idea when that
happens (it locks the timers completely, even leaving Safari and
returning sometimes doesn't fix it). I add it to the lng list of
bugs in Safari.

That's bad. Which WinZIP version are you using?

It's a MAC-made zip-file and a lot of people were experiencing problems

I'll provide a Windows zipped-version tonight or tomorrow.

iPeng 0.5.3 is a maintenance release.

Originally it was meant to support the new Alarm feature of SC 7.2 but
that functionality is not ready yet. Sorry. I need it, too :-)

Here’s what’s new:

* 0.5.3 is zipped under Windows instead of on a Mac. Vista users
were experiencing issues with Mac zip-files.
* it comes with support for the XM Radio plugin, with Toolbar
icon.
* the Podcast plugin is now supported
* there’s a toolbar shortcut icon for Pandora (GTax, please test
this, as I cannot access the service)

Oh, and some cool but useless stuff, too:

* 0.5.3 has the smooth main-menu transition of the failed 0.6
* plus some bling-bling on Now Playing
* the MultiPlayer control is now a bit more reduced. It doesn’t
show the track title, album and artist anymore. This takes down server
and client load a bit and makes the control smaller, fitting more
players on a screen. Should anybody miss the text items, please let me
know.

Have fun :-)

Now that looks like a Winzip issue to me then.
I zipped that file with WinZip 10 on Windows XP.

No, unfortunately not. I tried to integrate the screens in the 0.6 but
that was obviously too much for Safari...

Ok, I was afraid of that.
Could you tell me the URL of the first pandora screen when you enter it

OK, this is REALLY weird.
Plugin paths seem to be case sensitive.
Fine.
The plugin path for pandora is called "Plugin/Pandora"
As it is for all the other XMLBrowser plugins.
Artwork works fine (the icon itself)
The plugin doesn't
Obviously the server has some hard coded path conversion for Pandora
that works for the index.html only.

I fixed the configuration file, so could you try to replace the two
files I attached. they are

Code:


  Plugins/iPeng/Configuration/toolbar_default.ipeng.xml
  Plugins/iPeng/HTML/iPeng/xmlbrowser.html
  


You don't have to restart anything, just replace the files and reload
the iPeng main screen.
The fix in the xmlbrowser file is to make the Pandora Icon show up
colored while you browse Pandora, could you please check whether that
works?

Interesting.
On WWDC they promised to check whether they want to allow fullscreen
mode for Webapps.
It has always been possible to mimick that by simply opening a
UIWebView control and running the webapp inside that one. It also
performs much better in that environment, but - a big BUT - you lose
some capabilities of the browser, like scrolling the page to a certain
position.

Anyway, this will not solve Safari's stability and performance issues,
so I will continue to focus on the native app that already starts to
look quite cool even though there I also have to get around some UI
quirks - things always get more nasty as soon as you leave the "basic
stuff" level...

hmmm, they are supposed to work. Don't they? They did when I could test

They should be on the overlay with the progress bar...
It's really an issue that I cannot test Pandora over here.

What do you see? The normal repeat and shuffle controls or do they

I'm not completely sure myself. The plugin part has five preset places
that it delivers. So it's at least a major change.

No, it's an example of FOUR rows of buttons

TECHNICALLY in the skin it would be possible (just take up space) by
just increasing the size of that bottom toolbar and I also think it
would be a minor change to the plugin to provide 10 elements instead of
five.
The plugin part is there only to make the button bar configurable
instead of having hard-coded links. There's a repository of, I don't
know, 20 or so buttons you can put there and the plugin currently
allows you to manage five of those.

But I don't think I'm going to do it (would need Erland's help for the
plugin part anyway) since I am currently more than busy with getting
the native app to work.

"localhost" is definitely wrong because it refers to the machine itself

You have to use the name of your vista machine.

IP address will always work but can be inconvenient.
I myself also only have random success with names.
I would try "office_machine.local" I think Bonjour is using the
".local" domain on local networks - at least that's how I can access my
Mac.

It should be "office_vista.local:9000/ipeng"

But I know: This didn't work very well for me, too.
Does your IP Address change a lot? If not, you can use a bookmark

In the SqueezeCenter Web interface, go to "Settings->Interface" (Or in
iPeng to Extras->Server Settings->Interface"
There's an item called "setting per page". Set that one to your desired
value. I use 75 and it works fine.

Oh, OK. Does it work on the Controller, then? If it does, I think I can
make it work on iPeng, too (as long as you don't do any LUA stuff).

Probably not, I'm afraid. It's not an iPeng but an iPod thing. If your

That's because now iPeng starts with using the menu text from it's own
translations. But then the server delivers it's own title and iPeng
starts to use that.
I don't really have a fix for that that would not break a lot of other
stuff.

Don't lost hope, I believe I've finally found it.
I was mislead by all the reports of the App staying active and was
looking for an issue with background execution or with server
communication.

Turned out it had nothing to do with that, iOS Apps _always_ keep
running behind the screen saver and communication is indeed being shut
off.
The problem is a background thread locking up and consuming all CPU
power which seems to keep the iPhone from throttling the App (apart
from also causing power drain while active).
Will be fixed in the next release and this time it really looks
promising.

No. The client decides on the language delivered by the server. iPeng

iPeng _is_ the client here :)
iPeng tells the server - MySB or SBS - which language it wants and
that's what the server is supposed to send. The server doesn't always
do that (e.g. for Last.fm) but that's a different story...

Is "Background Audio" in this case another Squeezebox App?
But you are right, iPeng currently isn't particularly cooperative, this
actually isn't the audio itself but a side effect of the volume control
button usage.
It's on my definite to-do-list for the next update.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2011-02-19 Thread pippin

On the Playback: I have to admit I never tried iOS 4 on 1G/2G devices so
I don't know about performance.
The current iPeng does have an issue with a background thread locking
up which is what drains the battery, maybe it helps when that will be
fixed in the next release.
Also, did you try how it performs with mp3 files?

On the landscape: could someone file a ticket.
Although this one is a bit of a hard one...

@Gazjam
I'm actually surprised this worked at all, iPeng currently doesn't
support PCM at all (it made a few things easier and the server is
supposed to encode everything as FLAC anyway).
The next version will support it but I'd still recommend against using
PCM.

Please try to flush the cache in these cases. The server sometimes
scans artwork late and if iPeng gets the wrong (or no) image once it
keeps this as ling as the cache is valid.

No and no :)
I have planned to do a separate, free app for that for a while but
never found the time for it, it's still on the to-do list.
A few thoughts:
- in any case you would have to connect the Receiver on wired Ethernet
to set it up, wireless setup won't work because (App Store) Apps can't
change the WiFi network.
- From what I hear I believe the process is unreliable and I don't want
something like that in iPeng, especially given the amount of support
effort it will require
- Technically it would be just UI, I have all the UDAP stuff, I did
that when I implemented the feature to connect "lost" players.

So let's hope I find some free time for a setup App.

It _IS_ complex. How else would you connect a device to a password
protected WiFI network without entering a password on the device.

WPS works fine but is only supported by newer routers and also wasn't
around when the Receiver was developed.

The good solution would probably have been a USB port and a config file
on a memory stick.

There is no universal way to do the wifi connection on any platform, on
the Controller, they have the HW under control.

I believe they also don't want to support any more complex solution.

Why they don't support it on the Touch/Radio I have no idea.

I have no idea, never tried that.
What does it do?
Could it be that it streams everything as PCM/WAV? iPeng currently
doesn't support that but will do so in the next release.

Yes.
I believe it has to do with the performance issue (the hanging
background thread) plus probably a large library.
Or you are having an issue with your flash disc on the iPod.
What happens is that iPeng crashes while writing it's status data to
the disc, probably because the operation takes too long.

I never tried this. Will give it some testing mileage.
What file format are you using? Could it be it's something that needs
to be transcoded for the Boom, e.g. AAC?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2011-02-22 Thread pippin

1) it's definitely not expected.
If you play an AAC file synced between iPeng and SqueezePlay, could you
"hold" the cover in iPeng to get the NowPlaying context menu and look at
the file type in "More Info"? I would need the info for both iPeng and
SqueezePlay, in SqueezePlay you can get it by going to the current
playlist and "holding" the current track.

2. I don't have a fix but at least the crashes should be fixable.
Here's what I suspect: iPeng can play AAC natively, Boom can not, I
don't know about SqueezePlay. I guess that for some reason your server
transcodes to PCM/WAV (instead of FLAC) when you sync with SqueezePlay.
iPeng can't play WAV.
OR SqueezePlay fir some reason enforces transcoding to mp3 and your
server doesn't have lame installed (see Settings->Player
Settings->Audio, I believe).

Edit: I believe FLAC should always work.

Generally, syncing with iPeng's playback is not supposed to be
supported. It can work well if the streams start in sync or if iPeng is
the "faster" player but it doesn't actively stay in sync.
