[Announce] Squeezelite-X

[rgdawson]

This app is awesome - can we make a donation to show our appreciation?

Thank you. Squeezelite-X started as a DIY project that I eventually thought others could use. And it could not exist without the many contributions by community members (mherger (LMS), ralphy (squeezelite), Craig Drummond (Material Skin) and many others too numerous to name). I was an early adopter of Logitech Squeezebox stuff. I have 5 Duets still running perfectly. I may make a donation button someday, maybe about the time I need to renew my development environment licenses, haha. But seriously, I built Squeezelite-X for my own enjoyment and to share with others that make this community and ecosystem so great. Enjoy.

I just started using Squeezelite-X and am loving it. It's been working perfectly with LMS on a piCorePlayer. I do have one tiny UI suggestion: the title bar controls offer a number of helpful options for configuring the interface. Since the icons are non-standard, the only way for a user to figure them out is trial and error. Would it be possible to add hover tips identifying their functions? It's not too hard to learn what they do, but providing some hints would help new users.

I used to have hover tips, but they would work (or not) unexpectedly when using a touch interface, which I often use, so I disabled that. I have meant to go back and revisit that. Later in life, I have learned the trick for knowing whether the mouse (invisible on touch, but hovering over the control) should popup the hover tip. I just need to hook Windows behavior to not show the hover tip unless the cursor is visible. Thanks for the reminder.

Squeezelite-X Version 2.11.40

Changes:

• Hover tips are back
• Remember Log Window position
• Improvements to SLX's own Denon AVR control feature - handle group players (e.g. turn on and set input for all AVRs associated with players if needed when player is played)

Thanks for this quick update!

To be super nitpicky:

• There are no hover tips in the Mini Browser, which has more non-standard icons so they'd be especially helpful there
• The hover tip for the 1 / 2 button on the regular player's toolbar is always "Maximize," even when the player is already maximized, in which case pressing it actually unmaximizes it (what Windows calls "Restore down")

Haha, I do not mind one bit! Appreciate anyone taking the time to let me know. I realized too late after submitting that I had forgotten about the mini-player buttons as well as the restore button, so it will be there soon.

Is there any keyboard shortcut in Squeezelite-x ,or I have to use only mouse for navigation, play or else?

Yes. Keyboard shortcuts are provided by the skin. Material Skin allows you to enable keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, SLX allows you to enable Media Key integration (Play/Pause/Skip).

Greg,

Firstly, thanks for a great APP – I have been using it for a few years on a W10 PC and a W11 Laptop connected to my LMS also on W10. So, I have two machines working really well.

However, I have just got a new W11 PC and installed Squeezelite-X and it get stuck after configuring and applying the config – see picture.

The Squeezelite it is working as I can play music out from the new W11 PC.

I have uninstalled the APP and re-installed it – still the same..

Any ideas why it will not load the browser part of the APP?

Previously installed and used without problems, but 2 days ago Sq-X opened with an unusual error message and wouldn't complete loading.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled (from MSoft store) and now also get same as above with "Value IpAddress not found". Add my library to host and it goes into endless loop.
I have tried everything I can to uninstall/reinstall with no luck. Using W11 and SQ-X 2.11.43

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I feel lost with out it!

I'm getting the same behaviour for a new install of the app on W10.
