Not sure if it helps, but basic controls (skip/volume/pause) works great on an old-school Pebble watch with Squeeze Ctrl running on Android. The Pebble defaults to controlling the latest media player, so as long as Squeeze Ctrl is set to run in the background it just natively works. I'm only men

Just popping in to say this plugin has completely revolutionised how we use Squeezebox in our house. I've used it since early on, but looking back in hindsight it's had a much bigger impact than I expected. It's allowed me to easily set up Arduino arduino buttons which control music on/off in gr

Hi guys, only spotted yesterday that this has been extended to NZ (awesome!). However installing it last night I have a weird behaviour and don't know where to begin on de-bugging. It searches and loads a stream fine, however each HLS stream loads with only a 10sec track length and then simply

Yep, I've confirmed that gets me the right power on state, but it's then too limiting as I'm not able to power off individual players in the group as required (I.e just power down one player when the kids are asleep). I know I'm a niche need here but any other suggestions appreciated. -

Hi Philippe, thanks for a brilliant plug in. It's solved all sorts of annoyances I had in my system (like a central Joggler can now control the everyday 'inside' players all at once). I can also set a lower bit rate for everything playing compared to when just individual players are on - awesome!

Just catching up on this one, what an awesome plug in thank you. One question that would really make it work perfectly for me, does anyone know of a way (or another plug in) that could turn off the other groups when I switch on a new one.

A quick trip to the RasPi forums confirms the issue is likely a dangerous voltage loop from having a relay that needs too much power and is a low voltage trigger. Time for a rethink :) Thanks all! s2kiwi's Profile: http:

Thanks Roland, I was mainly just trying to rule out any obvious known bugs before I started again on fault finding. So, I've started from scratch with a fresh Pi B+, no DACs etc and a new version of PiCorePlayer 3.2 - no other modifications and the same happens again. Pi goes sluggish, playback
