Not sure if it needs its own thread or not, but Squeezplay is ready for joggler windows,

It runs in full screen, All GUI elements are correctly sized and it is working perfectly.

All thanks too roobarb and his fine work on squeezeplay for the joggler, with out his code, I would not have it working now lol

Squezeplay for ubuntu/native can be found here: http://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14



INSTRUCTIONS: Unrar the squeezplay.rar into program files directory, Create shortcut to squeezeplay.exe on the desktop and you are done.

Setup may run on first run, But The pin for mysqueezebox is not used anymore, instead Press next all the way through and it will fail to connect to mysqueezeplay, but it will connect to your logitech server, Once inside squeezeplay at the main menu go to test, then select sn regisration, this will ask for lign details and allow connection to my squeezeplay

Zapped you a message this morning, but from the time on that post I'll bet you were asleep! Or at least I hope you were... ;)

Glad you got it working; as I said in the PM, happy for you to use stuff with my code in it.

Ok small usage update, seems that squeezeplay will only play bbc streams if windows media player is installed, but possibly the k lite mcodec pack would have the same effect?

This is awesome! For a laugh I ran it on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit PC & it filled the whole 23" screen! The version of Squeezeplay I had been running had a window that was way too small. Only problem is, there's no bar at the top of the window to minimise it. Although I appreciate that this was built for the Joggler's 7" screen.

Fanbloodytastic!!!

I just put this on my media pc and am using it on my main tv - works flawlessly. If you change the background in settings -> screen -> wallpaper to the black background, the gaps at the top and bottom of the screen look like they're a part of the design.

I've set my Harmony remote to turn the tv to the pc source when I activate 'Listen to Squeezeplay' activity and will leave this version of Squeezeplay on = remote controlled Squeezebox with a big screen interface!

Only improvement I can think of for non joggler use (and I know it was designed for the joggler!) I would like to see min/resize/close buttons top right.

Thanks so much for this! :-)

Do the graphics scale up ok on a big screen?

Would these standard windows hot keys work for now? Not tested on Squeezeplay here, by the way.

Close the program with ALT+F4
Minimise the program with ALT+<spacebar>+N
Maximise the program with ALT+<spacebar>+X

Graphics look OK, just a bit blurry.

Close the program with ALT+F4 - doesn't work
Minimise the program with ALT+<spacebar>+N - doesn't work
Maximise the program with ALT+<spacebar>+X - closes the program if maximised, otherwise doesn't work.

Weird!

I wouldn't describe the graphics as blurry on a big screen, at least they don't look blurry on mine - they look fine to me. Maybe not quite as sharp as they could be, but they still look good to me.

Edit - I didn't have access to my TV when I wrote the above comments - I've just been playing with the new version of Squeezeplay on my big tv and the graphics are very sharp. It looks great :-)
