Thanks alot Pike!

The Harmony team has been hard at work with these improvements, working closely with the Logitech Squeezebox team to get the IR codes as optimized as possible. If you have a Harmony remote, please update it and try it out as soon as possible. We welcome feedback on the changes and any other suggestions on how to improve the existing Harmony -> Squeezebox controls!

Does this include Squeezebox Boom?

I updated my One / SB3 setup and everything looks good after a quick check. The discrete power codes are appreciated.

Thanks.

Speaking with Pike today, it appears that these configs should be better for all Squeezebox products -- past and present. I have not yet tried it myself (havnt 'updated' my Harmony One yet), but I will be this weekend.

I don't have a Squeezebox Boom for testing "HINT".

Currently the Squeezebox boom uses a different IR language with less IR commands.

Will have to look into this further.

Hi firstly thanks for this its been a great help as my setup has been tempremental with the old squeezebox commands (though i havent fully tested teh new ones yet)

As the people here seem to be the powers in the know i have a question/request. Are there any plans to get some basic harmony stuff into the Controller, power and volume would be great though if poss a input switch command as well please.

As an adjunct to this one idea that came to mind is that having an option inside Squeezecontroller/Squeezecentre to have a different amp for each SB/Zone would be superb and a counter for the you dont have an included amp comments i get from sonos owners


Thanks again

Matt

Have just added a Harmony One to our cinema room. The basic codes work well with a SB2.

How can I map the Squeezecenter Favourites to the "additional buttons" (the touchscreen)? Favourites 1-9 are presently shortcuts to streaming URLs.

What I'm looking for is just a button with the radiostation name (or graphic), eg "BBC Radio 4" which triggers a certain SC favourite (eg no.4) and would emulate 'press and hold 4' on the SB remote)

If there's no easy solution, I guess I can teach the harmony to learn prolonged number presses for all 9 digits.
