SqueezeBox control app for Palm webOS devices

[sleepysurf]

Great! I just downloaded this onto my Pre, but am having trouble configuring it. I copied the IP address that shows up when running Squeezebox Server on my Win7 laptop, but am stymied with what the User Name and Password are supposed to be. The Help file is not particularly explanatory either. Would appreciate some guidance!

Username and Password are only necessary if you've enabled security on your SqueezeBox Server. If you haven't, make sure you uncheck the save login check box.

OK, I unchecked the box, but it still just "hangs" while trying to connect. I have tried entering http://127.0.X.X:9000/ and
http://127.0.X.X in the Address field, but still hangs.

Any address that starts with 127.0 is reserved and is called a loopback address, which means that it's pointing back to the machine you're on. So setting that as the address in the app means that you're looking for a server on the phone itself. If that's the address reported in the the information screen of SqueezeBox Server, than there is something wrong with your server setup. Probably the network setup of the machine is incorrect. In any case, for future reference you should never set a machine's ip address to any 127.0.x.x addresses.

I've seen this before (SBS reporting 127.0.0.1 as a server IP). Try restarting the server (SBS, not the whole machine) and make sure the computer your server's running on has a network connection.

Figured out the problem. I needed to enter in the exact IP address for my Squeezebox Server from Settings... Information (rather than the IP address that shows up in my Browser URL).

Now it's working... BEAUTIFUL!! Totally eliminates my complaint about not being able to read the Touch display from my listening position 14 ft away! Fantastic job!
