iPeng support thread

iPeng should show the number set in the web interface with a maximum of 500. Maybe you've set the value to something the web interface can't cope with so it sends "0"?

In my case i get 475 albums , but my setting is 100000 (just to be sure that the whole collection fit forever )

Yes, and it will be fixed in the next release but that needs some fixes before we can publish it.



That's weird. How many does the web interface show.

I have it set to 150 in the web interface

Rebooted the Vortexbox (it had been running 162 days 24x7) and now I can see New Music quantity on Ipad/Iphone as specified in the web GUI.
Thanks.

And you do see 150 in the web interface? I'll have to check whether Logitech tinkered with that setting but I thought it should fall back to 200 then.

Ok, thanks for reply, hopefully it wont take to long. Annoying feature in an otherwise great app.

Unless you use a Synology NAS, the old workaround (setting "Settings->Player Settings->Audio->MP3 Streaming method" to "Proxied Streaming" will fix this, too.

It sure did, thanks.

AS a matter of interest is there any way of incorporating within iPeng a way of browsing accompanying texts. For example when downloading music the provider often includes a PDF of the booklet accompanying the CD with articles and sometimes lyrics. One of the things I find frustrating is the need to keep the cd box in order to read this material. I suspect this could all be incorporated in metadata. Hyperion do so for lyrics and (to a limited extent other text) but AFAIK no one else does. I was not so bothered when using ipeng on an iphone but now i use an Ipad it seems frustrating that I can't simply flick within Ipeng to the pdf in the same folder as the music

Is there any way you could include this feature (assuming i have not stupidly missed it)?

iPeng can't do this without a plugin providing the data or better a link to the data. And then the plugin would also have to make sure the files are being served up.

iPeng does already support a "weblink" property that could be used to open these files in iPeng then and if I knew about a plugin serving up pdf files I could add it to it's link detection (although the property would be a much better solution).

You always have to remember that iPeng doesn't have direct access to the files on y our harddrive, it can only access what the server serves up so if you want access to additional data you need a plugin first that scans for this data and then presents it.

There is a lyric plugin it works with iPeng and also the biography plugin for some reading on the artist , but bio is currently broken ( fix on it's way ).
Also is not lastFM able to serve some content .
I also uses iPengs web link to Wikipedia .

Well that is a plugin idea ,something that scans documents in the music folder and makes the info presentable in some way.
