iPeng support thread

[Ikabob]

Pippin, are you sure about this? I am using mysb.com and adding individual tracks from Rhapsody with no problem . I may not be understanding correctly because I am in no way doubting the expert.

And Pippin please see my editted comment above. I added a step.

Not long...as I said I can't access the documentation because the developer's web site does not work so it is also hard for me to know exactly how to use it. I am glad I found this support forum. Perhaps it should be mentioned in the iPeng application as the average person probably will never find it.

As far as Rhapsody, what exactly can you do beyond playing an entire album? That's the only function I can get to work. From the Squeezebox web app it's quite straight forward to add single songs to a play list, add albums to a playlist etc but none of this seems possible in iPeng. Does it not just say "play all songs on album shuffled" as your option? Is there any reason why the app would work for you but not me? Have you tried playing a Rhapsody pre-packaged play list while a Rhapsody album is playing? Does it work? Again, iPeng seems like a wonderful application but these things don't work for me, rendering it not that useful FOR ME. However, I am certainly open to any suggestions anyone has including the developer.

Can you favorite songs in Slacker? I can't.

Robotron, Learn how you can change the "play shuffled, play next and add al symbols. >|...>...+. and what each means.

As far as favoriting songs I don't think so.

No, you are right, that works
Looks like today it's only anymore iPeng's "+" mode that doesn't add single tracks.
Looks like the context menu returns a correct action (unlike the album tracks menu which iPeng uses).

When having an audio problem and reporting it we are asked to "try a different stream?". If I say yes it shows a more reliable different stream but with ipeng there is no way to accept or actually "play" that stream. In the previous version we had a "play or add" option. Am I just missing something? Thanks.

[pippin]

Sorry, could you explain that again?
I don't understand what you are talking about, which menu is this?

[Ikabob]

Ok... There are times when a radio stream is either silent or is spotty. If you hold your finger on the artwork for 2 seconds you are taken to a new menu (song info) which includes the item called RadioTime options. Hit on RToptions and you get several new choices which includes"try a new stream". If you hit on "try a new stream" you may get 1 or more new streams for the station that have various %ages of reliability. But, there is actually no way with ipeng to "play" or "add" those new streams to try them. In the prior version of ipeng you could add or play that stream and yes, it usually solved the silent station issue. On the actual SB device you can but not with ipeng.

Thanks Pippin.

You do get a submenu with an option to play/select a stream. Is this what doesn't work (can't try right now)?
Is this 7.5.1?

If this doesn't work could you file a ticket for this?

[Ikabob]

Using 7.5.2 build. There is an option stating "try a different stream" >play| 32 Kbps 65%reliable>some URL info shows but the stream is not activated. ...it used to show up on the playlist or play immediately.

I will try to file a ticket but I am not sure exactly how it is done. Thanks.
