Ok, I bought iPeng. It didn't detect the server; I had to add it as a
remote library for it to work. Once I did that, it worked perfectly.
This is way better than the Squeezebox Controller, which I just received
in the mail today. I guess I'm putting it and the Receiver back onto
eBay. Sigh.
Any chance you can auto-dim the screen after X minutes? I have sleep
disabled, but I'd like it to auto dim after a few minutes so it's not as
intrusive as a full-time remote. It'd also be great if the app could go
full screen so as to disable the notification pull-down. I often end
up pulling

Apps can't influence that, but I believe there's a setting somewhere in
the iPhone settings (don't ask me, where, probably under Screen or
so).
I could only find a screen off after X time setting, no dim after X,
screen off after X. I'll keep looking. I'll chalk this up to my

That's interesting and good to know. Actually if that's true I'd have to
make iPeng a full screen App that removes the status bar.
The downside is that I'd still like to show the status bar (there's
quite a bit if info up there I can't replicate, like the WiFi status)

Okay, iPhone 4 acquired; I'll give this another try tonight. Thanks for
the tip about the 3G's pending doom.

Update: I'm using a wiped-clean iPhone 4 and it also can't see my
server, even though my Squeezeboxes can. It's on the same Wi-Fi
network. Can I somehow specify the IP or hostname in iPeng Party?

No, not in iPeng Party. Well, you can, but then you'd need the full
iPeng to do so.
I am pretty sure it's not the iPhone but has something to do with your
network. Either your server doesn't accept UDP broadcasts or doesn't
reply to them properly. Something like that. My

Yes. But if the gateway is the same as the server then for a client
sending a UDP broadcast, the return answer looks like it's coming from
the router and will also not really be distinguishable from the
broadcast itself so I'm not sure that this will not confuse the
discovery.

Then why doesn't it work? You said you can open the server's web
interface in Safari on port 9000 on the iPhone?
I have no idea why server discovery would not work if that is the case
and if the gateway address is not the problem.
No idea why it's not working. It'd be nice if

When it doesn't work, use the 'report a problem' button in the order

Okay, I'm considering giving iPeng a try. I installed iPeng Party, but
it says it can't find my player. I'm running the latest squeezeserver
on the same Wifi network that my iPhone is connected to. I'm somewhat
hesitant to pay $6 for the full iPeng if iPeng Party isn't even working.
Any idea
My iPhone is Wi-Fi only, so it's definitely on the right network. I can
access the Squeeze center via Safari, so reachability isn't an issue.
It also shows all of my players. Can I specify the IP of the Squeeze
center?

It's an iPhone 3G running 4.2.1. It's not currently jailbroken, but if
I'm going to run iPeng fulltime, it will be to disable the lock screen.

First: you say SqueezeCenter. Which version do you use? IPeng does NOT
work with Slimserver 6.x... SqueezeCenter should mean 7.x, though.
You can indeed configure your IP address manually in iPeng (not in iPeng
Party) but you really shouldn't have to unless you've got an

My router is a Linux box, which is also my Squeezeserver.

I've got a critical mass of Squeezeboxes in my house now and I'm
contemplating either getting a Squeezebox Controller or an iPod + iPeng.
Any thoughts about one or the other? This would be something that
lives in the living room full-time; I wouldn't be using the iPod as an
