iPeng support thread

[pippin]

I am new to Squeezeplay so still trying to get my bearings. I am using iPeng with Squeezeslave and Squeezebox Server 7.4.2 (no hardware devices) and get the message "This player is already registered to another user.." when I go to "My Apps" on iPeng. Note that I have tried both SqueezePlay and Squeezeslave software players. Any idea how to resolve this?

This is a Squeezeplay issue. I'm seeing the same thing. I don't know whether there's a way around this.

Before re-installing iPeng I would have had "Play Single Tracks" enabled. I haven't changed that setting yet since re-installing, so the "Play All" option is no longer there.

My Play settings in Napster are:

* Play immediately - insert and play tracks immediately (this is selected)
* Play next - insert and play tracks after the currently playing track
* Add to now playing - add tracks to the bottom of the queue
* Clear, then play - Clear the Now Playing queue before playing

I've now tried it with all of these options and still the same outcome

I have no idea what this means.
I have tried 7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.5, MySB and test.mysb.
I can't reproduce this. All these releases play the whole album for me if I click the album art on the albums list.

What Squeezebox model are you using? SB3?

Same occurs on SB3 and Boom

I realise this is taking up quite a lot of your time for something that only seems to be my problem so don't worry if we can't resolve it and/or you want to concentrate on other things. It's just strange that it used to work and all of a sudden doesn't.

I had to move my Squeezecenter to port 9005 on my server, because of a conflict. The Squeezeboxes in my house found it and all is well.... except iPeng cannot find the server (actually says "no player found") anymore.

I cleared the cache.

I manually inserted the ip address in the settings area, as an "additional server" just to help.

No dice.

Tried searching this thread, but mostly found stuff about remote connections, not about what I am seeing.

Maybe you could try to update to the most recent 7.4.2 build?
Running out of ideas here...

Hm. This is supposed to work.
What OS is the server running on? Could it be that port 9005 is not open in the firewall?
The Squeezeboxes don't use port 9000 so they would not notice.

OS is Windows 7.

I can browse to port 9005 via a browser. Does iPeng use a protol that might be blocked, even though a web browser can get to port 9005?

Only updated Squeezebox Server recently and that had no effect. May give it a go soon. I suspect I'll be re-installing or upgrading the server when Ubuntu comes out in April which may solve my problems. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the time you've spent on this - and a great app.

Can Ipeng in some way be used as a remotecontrol for spotify running on a computer?

Also from the iPhone/iPod?
What have you entered when manually adding the IP address? Should be
Xx.xx.xx.xx:9005

Alternatively, following some issues someone else had, please try
:9005

Thank you for the suggestions.

Yes, if I use the Safari browser on the iPhone, I can open my squeezecenter at 192.168.1.110:9005 no problem.

The same IP address in the "additional servers" section of iPeng doesn't help iPeng find my players or server.

I have now tried just

:9005

but that does not seem to resolve the issue.

Do I need to install something else on the Windows 7 box? Perhaps something like Bonjour? Or does ipeng use something other than http on port 9005, so I need to adjust a firewall setting?
