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

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.

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

They should work on all activities.

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

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!!

Request from the market: Needs apps

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

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!

Request from the market: Needs mysqueezebox switch.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

See summary ;). 

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

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

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.

The Settings menu option should be present in all activities.

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.

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.

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!

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.  

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.   

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)

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?

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

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

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

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!

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. 

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.

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.

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.).

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!

Request from the market: It's missing authentication.

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

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.
