Can't browser the library or manipulate the playlist yet.

The "display ? ?" command fetches whatever the player is currently showing.

The app could do this and show it somewhere in the UI.

Request from the market: It's missing access to favorites.

Please add an option to stop playback after a specific amount of time, also known as
sleep mode on some Squeezebox devices.

I'm looking for a solution to use android as a complete squeeze client 
device. I.e. not only a control point, but a device that outputs the music 
through the headphone jack. There is the stream.mp3 possibility, but that 
comes with an unacceptable lag (also, the shoutcast clients on android all 
pretty much suck). So one would have to implement the slimproto 
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SlimProtoTCPProtocol) network 
protocol. Would ideally be realised in its own application so that all 
squeezebox remotes can use that applications interface to support streaming 
from a common codebase. Maybe team up with the commercial squeeze remote 
developers and implement a BSD-licensed library?

We should have some mechanism for crashes in the wild to be easily reported with user
consent.

Android Market (2.2 and up) apparently has a developer console that contains limited
data.

Acra (http://code.google.com/p/acra/) works on earlier devices, reports to a Google
spreadsheet (or other destinations), and has interesting visualisations.  Also, the
Bugsense (http://www.bugsense.com) backend looks very interesting.

There's also http://code.google.com/p/android-remote-stacktrace/, but that requires
you to run your own backend to receive the reports.

Hi,
please add an option to automatically start Squeezeplayer on Squeezer startup:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bluegaspode.squeezeplayer&hl=en

Hello!

Im currently playing an album from a Squeezeserver using Squeezeplayer (http://www.squeezeplayer.com/)
and Squeezer on a tablet. While playing one piece of music, Squeezer won't allow Android
to go into Standby / Lockscreen. This is very fine.

Unfortunately, when switching to the next piece, it enters Standby.

Is this on purpose? 

My tablet stops Wifi while in Standby to safe battery. Thus playback stops as Connection
from Squeezeplayer to Squeezeserver gets broken.

Please excuse my bad English.


Thanks in advance

René 


PS: Tablet is an Odys Loox using ICS 4.0.4.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the app
2. Observe no 'Quit' Option. 
3. Pressing 'back' or 'home' leaves the app running in the background.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.0.0 on Android 4.4 (Nexus 4)

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. shows correct album art while playing from My Music library, but
2. when you switch to something like internet radio, Pandora, etc., it 
continues to show the album art from the last song i was playing from My 
Music library
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
on Pandora, or internet radio, should show image which corresponds to the 
content being played.  Instead, it continues to show image from last song I 
was listening to from my library

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.4.  PC us running XP

Please provide any additional information below.
very cool!  keep up the good work!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use a squeezeserver that is running CLI on a port other than 9090
2.Try to connect from squeezer
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.
I just think that the CLI and web ports should be available in the setting. I have
to have my server run CLI on a different port,I use 9092, and therefore cannot use
Squeezer at all/

Kinda like a "partymode setting"; a setting where you would choose the default behavior
when pressing an album or song. 
3 settings possible: 1) Play now, 2) add to playlist, 3) play next. 

Reason: Many people to a party that always clears the current playlist can be very
annoying. I know that it is possible by pressing long on a number/song, but that can
be hard when people have gotten their first three tequilas... 

Thanks a lot in advance!

If Squeezer could act as a lock screen then you could safely use it as 'party remote'

I would like to see an option to toggle between repeat/shuffle/normal playing modes.
 Currently, I don't see that in any of the menus or options.

I'm using version 0.9 on Android.

Show player power status & add power on/off controls.

Request from the market: It's missing authentication.

The Squeezebox Server can be password protected, the app. should support that.

The hardware volume buttons only work on the "now playing" activity.

They should work on all activities.

We need to support retaining configuration data for multiple servers.

Suggest that we should keep track of server configuration info keyed off the wifi network
BSSID (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiInfo.html#getBSSID())
, and there may be multiple servers on a given wifi network.

We need to be careful once we support logging in to a server that we don't inadvertently
send the user/pass combo for one server to a completely different one.

Great work so far - congratulations! 
This feature plus volume control would make this pretty much the perfect Sqb app!
Many thanks for all your efforts thus far!!

Android has APIs to backup configuration data so if the phone is reset or the user signs
in to a different phone the configuration follows them.

We should do that.

Request from the market: Needs apps

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. select album or playlist
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see songlist from which I am able to initiate play, browse, or select single
song from

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9


Please provide any additional information below.

Based upon my limited understanding it seems when you select the "album folder" squeezer
initiates playback of the files in the folder as opposed to playback being initiated
by user. Am not sure if its the same for playlists.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Ensure that you have access to the server CLI interface (port 9090)
2. Ensure that you are connected to a wireless network, and that it is the
same as the server.
2. Connect to the server in squeezer

Results:
Squeezer displays the 'connecting' dialog for about a tenth of a second,
and then silently aborts, displaying 'disconnected' as status in the main
screen.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Squeezer v0.4
Google Android 1.5 (HTC Hero)

It would be nice with an entry to the menu to exit and shutdown the program.

To exit now, I have to go to android options, running programs and then force the program
to stop.

Other than that, a very very nice free squeezebox controller program!

See summary ;). 

The official Logitech player and the Duet control both show album art correctly.

It would be nice to have volume controls in the 'Now Playing' screen.

It would also be nice to have an option to turn off your squeezebox device.  A previous
app, SqueezeControl, let you turn your device off as an option after pressing the menu
button on your phone.  

The app could (on user initiation) scan the current network for squeezeservers instead
of having the user enter an IP address.

Would be really nice to control player synchronisation. i.e. syncing one
player with another (or with an already synced set), remove a player from a
synced set, etc.

thanks much.

Android apps can easily integrate with Google Analytics.

Is this worthwhile?

Stats on # users would be interesting (does the Market already provide that?)

Per-activity stats?  Identify popular/unpopular features?  Not sure that's terribly
useful.

Anything else?  Gathering any data about user's servers (IP addresses, track listings,
etc) is explicitly not being considered.

If the app starts and there's no valid server config it should start walking the user
through the process of creating one, instead of waiting for them to go to settings.

The Settings menu option should be present in all activities.

Hello!

It would be very nice to have a software volume control in Squeezer.

I want to integrate my ICS 4.0.4 into a wall (no joking!) and thus won't be able to
access the hardware keys anymore.


Greetings and Thanks from Germany

René

"also, would it be possible for the notification status to indicate the 
currently connected player, please?"

I just downloaded this for use on my new Transformer Prime. Thanks to all concerned
for this app, it's just what I was looking for!

My request: I've got my Squeezebox and Server both set up to list albums in Artist/Year/Album
order, so I naturally expect to see Squeezer listing them in the same order. Squeezer
seems to default to alphabetic order on launch, however, so I have to change the sort
order each time.

Please add a preference setting for the default album sort order. Or just have the
app grab the default from the server, if that's possible.

Thank you!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Android 4.1.1
2. Windows 7
3. I connect to Server 7.7.2 - connect within Squeezer appears fine (and I can download
mp3's from server) but Squeezer does not play any files.

There should be an option to pause the music if there's an incoming call.

Make it more tablet friendly rather than phone specific. I.e., make use of a 10" screen!
For example:

Have an option to show albums in an artwork grid view rather than a list. Should apply
both when view all albums and when viewing albums of a given artist. Having an optional
subtitle beneath each image would be useful - album name, maybe artist name too.

Have an option for large font sizes in 'now playing' page. On a tablet, you get a huge
blown up artwork image and a teeny tiny set of play controls in the top right corner.
Having larger text and buttons would look much less disproportionate and be easy to
use.

Have a permanently on-screen alphabet in the artist and album views so you can immediately
jump to the section starting with that letter.

Should return to same position in scroll list when hitting back button rather than
always resetting to the start. E.g. scroll half way through artist list, select someone,
view albums, hit return, now you are right back to the start and have to scroll through
again.

Have a permanently on-screen set of transport controls (play/pause, skip next/previous
+ song name).

When browsing by album name (whether the top level 'albums' list, the 'new music' list
or when browsing albums for a given artist) have a set of play buttons on the far right
of the menu item (play - replace current playlist, plus - add to end of playlist, next
- add to playlist as next entry. And instead of playing the album when touched, open
the album to view the song list. The current play when touched is incredibly annoying!
I keep loosing my current playlist when I'm just trying to browse my library. If play
buttons are technically possible then at least just making the default touch action
be to open the album and the replace current playlist action must be selected from
the long touch menu would be more consistent with other selection lists.

A set of play buttons when browsing all other lists would nice too (artist, song, genre,
etc.).

All activities should show some (small) form of the track controls.

Hi,

I just manually installed the 0.1 version my G1, which works but then I saw
that the 0.4 version is already in the market. However, when I try to
install that one I get the following message:

"Installation error. Pacakge file was not signed correctly."

I'm running firmware 1.6 (donut) on my HTC G1 Google Devphone.

Request:

I previously used an app called SueezeControl on my Android, but I
found out it has been discontinued. Squeezer is obviously more
polished and works great but there is one feature I miss: the previous
app had the possibility to long-press on any song or album and
download it to the android device.
Can this be implemented in Squeezer?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. go to main menu
2. apps entry not showing

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
would like to control spotify third party plugin for example

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
V0.9.1 / Logitech Media Server Version : 7.7.2 - r33893 on ubuntu 12.04 distribution

Please provide any additional information below.
Like this app, especially vol UP/DOWN!

Request from the market: Needs mysqueezebox switch.

I can only reach my squeezeserver over WiFi. When WiFi is off, Squeezer cannot connect.
Perhaps it could offer to enable WiFi for me?

The server tracks "favourite" songs.  The app should expose a UI to (at least) make
a given song as a favourite -- the Android convention would probably be to 'star' it.

Home screen folders could provide quick access to playlists, albums, etc.

Homescreen widgets could provide a stripped down player UI without needing to go in
to the app proper.

I only ever wish to connect to my local server on my local network. An internet connection
to a third party server should not be required!

When I'm back to browsing (say from the Now Playing screen), I'm back to the top of
the list. I think I should be back to the position I was last time. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Squeezer
2. Enter correct IP address for Squeezebox
3. Press 'back' button to go to main interface

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: awesome remote control. Instead: "Connection failed."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I used 0.4, from the Market, on my HTC Dream (ADP1), with Cupcake.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to squeezebox
2. Try to do anything
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After successfully logging in to my squeezebox I cannot perform any operations using
squeezer, the application will just quit with an error. 


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest from the market 0.61. OS is Android honeycomb 3.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I have tried removing reinstalling but no joy. Worked fine with 0.61.   

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When pressing browsebutton in now playing mode
2. Scrolling through songs causes Squeezer to stop and close.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Sorry, an error occurred.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Android 4.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
