Download

Has any thought been given to putting Squeezeplay for Windows and other platforms somewhere easily accessible?

I had to look quite a bit before I found the download in this thread.

Thanks.

What would you consider easily accessible? The file has been downloaded over 4000 times.

Newer builds will be located elsewhere, as googlecode has removed the ability to add files for download.

Been testing googledrive, but I'm not too impressed with it, so may change again.

EDIT: I've removed my googledrive and migrated to mediafire for new builds.

Changing windows size.

Hi,
I just installed squeezeplay 7.8.0r328 on a Toshiba encore tablet with a 8 " / 1280 x 800 touchscreen running windows 8.1, and I wonder if there is a way to change the window size of Squeezeplay, Ie so the GUI fills the whole screen? Thanks for this great little tool btw. :-)

Have you tried changing the skin?

Random stoppage of players with SqueezePlay

Hello. I Have a Squeezebox Touch in the listening room - the only player on the network. My music collection is located on a NAS, on which LMS is installed. I've installed SqueezePlay on my PC (Windows 7 x64) in my office and synchronized it with the Touch in LMS so that I can listen to the same music on both rooms. The problem is that since I've installed SqueezePlay and synchronized, at random points in a song the players suddenly stop and jump to the end of the last file in the play list. I've tried three albums so far and it's happened twice. Do you have any idea how I can find the cause of the problem?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this - I tried your version to see if it would make a difference, but alas it hasn't.

Anyway thanks for your work. If I could get it to work it would be great.
---------------
(Later) It just happened again and immediately afterwards the NAS was unreachable on the network. So the behavior might be related to something interrupting the connection to the network - like an antivirus. I'm looking into it and will report back.
(Still later) It seems that Avast Webshield, which I have installed, is responsible. A solution is referenced here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=144058.0
I added the lines to the .ini as instructed and it seems to have worked.

Sirius XM app

Hi,
I`m sure it's probably something I`m doing wrong.
But with Squeezeplay 7.8.0 r413 installed on my surface pro running Win 8.1, it runs, but when I select the Sirius XM app, I get the message that it can`t play that type of file. It works on all my squeezebox radios.

Also having issues with no audio on spotify, sometimes have audio, mostly no audio.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could try?

You need to have wma support installed on the server (lms) as squeezeplay does not support wma directly.

Look for the PlayWMA plugin.

I've had similar problems withe Squeezeplay on two different Windows 7 x64 laptops. One has been attached to my home theatre system and installed for nearly 4-years without problem. The only things that get changed are Windows Update, and the latest Avast antivirus. The other player is on my work issued laptop, Windows 7 x64, this time protected by McAfee. Both are only ever used on a private home network, with either radio or mp3/music from a NetGear ReadyNAS LMS.

Both are syncronized in a ring with 4x Logitech hardware players. I mostly only use the worklaptop as a remote when I'm sat out on the front porch, I started it tonight, and the syncronized music started playing on the lpatop, but the player wouldnt connect to the LMS. I had to add security rules for both players in order to get them to work.

FYI, somethings changed in both Antivirus programs to make this happen.

I tried to download to my win8.1 tablet and got into an endless spamware cycle, iLivid etc. Never got to an actual app download.

Seems to be luck of the draw which advert you get.
I got the iLivid a few times, but not the SqueezePlay download.

Then a couple of betting sites with the correct download.

Can never understand why the iLivid is still allowed to "advertise"

Just FYI, Chrome flags the .exe from mediafire as malware.

Thanks for the heads up. I've uploaded r417 in a zipfile, hopefully that works better.

If you've already downloaded r413, there no need to get r417 as the only changes are for Solaris.

It would be nice to see someone develop a nice 800x600 pixel (SVGA) skin for SqueezePlay, which would work nicely on touchscreens of that resolution. I've always thought SqueezePlay would make an ideal car audio player, and that's a very common screen resolution for car computers. It could also be useful with a similarly sized touchscreen on a computer emulating a Squeezebox in the home.

I've played around with it a bit, but it takes some work. Also, to be done right, it would require custom sized graphics, buttons, etc.
