Squeezeplay is not a particulary good UI to begin with.

There are two ways how you can set WOL in iPeng:

whenever you return to the App and in periodic intervals while it

2. Manual mode gives you a power button to send the

So I need to specify mac address and IP.
That doesn't matter. There's a manual override for the MAC (iPeng
detects is automatically but you can also enter your own one).
Here's how that screen looks in iPeng.
URL and MAC below the server name are what iPeng has detected, in the
entry field below you can change the MAC, by default, the automatically
detected one will be in there.

No index bars?

I was under the impression that things like lua are now allowed within
