Well, that's not right. Will test it on v1.10 tomorrow if I get chance.Horatio wrote:I tried installing on the last Ubuntu image (1.9) and now on 1.10, and whenever I go to run it, on a completely fresh image, the resolution changes (top and bottom bar disappear anyway) and then it just remains on the desktop.

Turns your Joggler into one of these, but with a bigger screen.Cheetah wrote:Could any please explain the premise behind SqueezePlay?
This has been fixed - it was a slight error in the install script that binned some files it shouldn't have when completing.roobarb! wrote:Well, that's not right.

bash ./sqp.sh purgeAh! The result of a silly error. I mistakenly ran SqueezePlay as root, which created a settings folder the normal user couldn't write to.roobarb! wrote:There's one bug I've discovered in Natty, where it won't allow you access to a password protected Squeezebox Server for some reason. Other than that, it's working.
If you look closely, one will say 'Squeezeplay' and the other will say 'SqueezePlay'. The latter is the one installed by my script, while the former is from BuZz's version that is installed on the image by default. You can delete the 'Squeezeplay' one - the installer tries to, but isn't always successful.Horatio wrote:Thanks Roobarb! Purged and reinstalled and it seems to be working great. Slight curiosity fyi is that two Squeezeplay entries appear in the application list..
Fantastic - sounds like a great plan!Horatio wrote:Re joggler as SB Touch, I think it can be a lot more powerful, as from what ive read the SBT has a cutdown server and cant connect to networked libraries (tho it does have a nice DAC). Using Buzz's excellent ubuntu I want to run SBS and squeezeplay on the joggler, have a library on my routers usb storage, pipe the output round the house, control from android phones, and have it on a timed shutdown so the whole thing turns off at night -awesome!
Aha! Thought they were different, cheers for the info.roobarb! wrote: If you look closely, one will say 'Squeezeplay' and the other will say 'SqueezePlay'.

You need to edit your /etc/asound.conf file. That's what SqueezePlay uses to decide where to output audio. In the Terminal app:holmes wrote:I 've just installed the latest Squeezeplay version (1.26) on a Ubuntu Image 1.9 system. I plugged a USB sound card wired to an Amp and disabled the internal audio system. Squeezeplay plays however through the internal speakers. With Rythmbox the sound goes to the amp.
Could someone tell me how I can solve this?

First, try it this way, without specifying 'native'. It's not needed any more; shouldn't cause a problem, but just in case:satdreamer66 wrote:Followed the SSh way, the copied and pasted everything fro mthe script - it did download and install the client but after reboot it is only black screen with the top line on.
Could restore original app icons with (no Squeezeplay though) with:but whenever I redo the following:Code: Select all
mv /media/appshop/applications.xml /media/appshop/ignoremeapplications.xml echo -e ‘<applications>\n</applications>’ > /media/appshop/applications.xml rebootit puts me back to square one. Black screen, every time.Code: Select all

cat /media/appshop/applications.xmlI see the problem. For some reason the opening <applications> tag is being lost. Your applications.xml file should look, in a perfect world, like this:satdreamer66 wrote: # cat /media/appshop/applications.xml
<app id="launcher" static="1" ext="1" standalone="1" loc="/media/launcher/apps/SqueezePlay/" icon="icon.swf" app="/media/launcher/apps/SqueezePlay/trigger.cgi"/>

The XML declaration at the start is not essential, but I bet if you replace the contents of your applications.xml file with the above, it'll work fine.Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <applications> <app id="launcher" static="1" ext="1" standalone="1" loc="/media/launcher/apps/SqueezePlay/" icon="icon.swf" app="/media/launcher/apps/SqueezePlay/trigger.cgi"/> </applications>
This can only be happening due to a layout issue with the original file. The install script removes the closing </applications> tag, adds it's own entry and then adds the </applications> tag back at the end. Perhaps <applications> and </applications> were ending up on the same line?
Anyway, stick <applications> as the first line and you should be sorted.
The Joggler speaker is the lowest point of an otherwise great device. Anyone using Squeezeplay should buy a USB soundcard and plug an external speaker into that (or connect the card to an amplifier). Just plugging a speaker into the 3.5mm port is not comparable; the volume is too low and there is rather a lot of background electronic noise. I've got two Jogglers and neither has played sound through the internal speaker for months.satdreamer66 wrote:Sound is bit tinny though....
Awesome. Great stuff - welcome to the world of vi!satdreamer66 wrote:Spot on mate! My little Joggler has started singing to me!
Thanks a lot, it was a big headache not knowing what is wrong when you follow the guides and no luck whatsoever. Even conquered the mighty vi to enter text.
Moving the icon is easy - touch and hold, choose 'Move' and then drag it to the left to move it to the first screen. Now that you've got the basics with vi, autostarting SqueezePlay is pretty easy too; just add:satdreamer66 wrote:Sound is bit tinny though and maybe the icon could go on the first page of the apps, or autostart the squeezeplay - onwards to new problems now!

as the last line in the /etc/init.d/rcS file. If you have any trouble with it starting, increase the '25' to something a little higher - it specifies the number of seconds delay while the Joggler sorts itself out and plays the O2 animation. If you fire up SqueezePlay before the main UI appears, it won't work properly.Code: Select all
sleep 25; /media/opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh
If you do add a USB sound card, there are plenty of instructions for that earlier in this thread.
