[ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...

[T-bird]

Working fine on my HTC Desire HD
thx

One thing I noticed

The play button is off
connection says disconnected
Playback says stopped
No icon on top bar

And I still listening to music, controlled by the server web UI

3483

thanks corrected.
For some reason my fingers always type 3484 when they want to type 3483.
Why didn't they use 9001, 6666 or 11111?

I think this

http://penguinlovesmusic.de/2011/02/11/coolios-guide-to-remote-playback/

will more or less apply here, too.
If your fingers can't type 3483, how about 0xd9b, at least one less digit to get wrong.

Something is very wrong

When I start the app it connects to the server and start playing, no controller app is running on phone, the web ui says player is off and no progressbar running.
The music stops when comming to first songs end and my poor little QNAP server run a perl process at 100% cpu, set the play button in app to off make the server run normal again

Turn you mobile into a Squeezebox with SqueezePlayer!

Unfortunately I don't have an Android device to try it on, but great work anyway.

Just out of interest, would this be possible to run on a Logitech Revue and suddenly turn it into a Squeezebox player ?
As I've understood Revue isn't supporting Android Market yet ? (At least not unless you hack it)

But if someone from Logitech sees this post and SqueezePlayer would be possible to run on Revue, maybe it's worth to investigate. Feels kind of perfect to have a player app on the Revue and then use one of the controller apps on the Android/iOS device to control it with.

System requirements & compatibility?

I don't seem able to purchase this for my no-brand cheapo Android 1.6 tablet. Is Android 2 required?

Nice work. Got some short burst of static using spotify via triodes that I don't normally experience on my home audio system or spotify android app. But generally nice work.

Hi T-Bird,
are you trying to stream FLAC or mp3?
How many Mhz of CPU is your QNAP having and how fast is your WebUI typically when using it?

Don't care for the On/Off button of the Web-UI, SqueezePlayer is always 'On'.
Would you mind trying out the free Logitech App for remote controlling? As far as I know it uses less CPU power on your QNAP than the WebUI - maybe you see better status updates there?

Yes, the minimum requirement is Android 2.1.
Android 1.5 and 1.6 only make 5% of the market but require huge additional programming and testing efforts (see http://developer.android.com/resourc...-versions.html)

Thats why I decided to not support it anymore, sorry

This is a bug of the HTC Desire, when using the sound API I'm using
Even if I send a lot of 0-samples, one sometimes gets a very short burst at the beginning of playback.

I read about a workaround (playing 100msecs of silence via the other sound API) that might minimize this effect and I will play around with it in one of the future version.

I have no idea how much they changed for Revue.

Hi
when working properly i can stream both mp3 and flac to my Touch and phone at the same time and cpu is only 5-10%.
It was then it start that "ghost" playing things went wrong, I was unable to control it nor by app or web ui

Edit: I am scrobbling both player to Last.fm at the same time if that has anything to do with it

If LMS comes true, then it will be possible to stream to Revue using DLNA anyway.

That's correct. But we've been interested in this question as well. Unfortunately the production units have the debug ports disabled (obviously...), but with dev units we have been able to easily install an Android app using adb. I've tested this with one single app only ;-) (the touch UI doesn't make much sense on a 24" full HD screen).

AFAIK current Google TV OS isn't a real Android, but some relative. There seem to be plans to converge the two later this year.

Mhmm, sounds really strange and hard to track.
I'd suggest restarting your server and the App as a start (on Android: Settings->Applications). Then see if it happens again. Maybe just a bad coincidence?

If the App is not responding then please wait a while until the window that allows you to force quit it appears. I should get a report later about this type of crash via Google and can analyze it.
If it happens again please contact me at support(at)squeezeplayer.com. I'll be providing you with an App with activated logging then, so you might get a better clue of what is happening on your mobile.

Hi folks,

just uploaded an update (v1.0.1), fixing the most common bugs from the first 26 hours of operation:

- no crash on mono mp3 anymore
- no crash when MAC address cannot be resolved on first start (due to turned off WiFi)
- no crash when one deletes the port number in the manual server settings
- no crash when one enters invalid characters (spaces,umlauts) as the manual server address

Thanks for sending over the crash reports!

Started to work on 24bit FLAC, but am too tired to finish tonight.
More progress on that at the end of the weekend.
