Odd. > If you say "remote device" do you mean the remote iPeng? That's not really a surprise. although it's probably a bit difficult to explain... Due to the various gain commands that need aggregating into a single value the slider can get out of sync with the actual system volume when remotely controlled, there's an additional mixer in there. The slider shows the resulting volume which is what you want - as long as the volume control works.
I assume it only works in one direction, probably down? (or is it up?

If it's Logitech that explains why they've walked away. It's not Logitech, Logitech's App is called "Logitech Squeezebox Controller". And no, I'm not doing support for it. I have worked together with the developer of SqueezeCommander in the past but all but lost contact since a few years. He eventually had to choose between his primary job and his family and putting more work into SqueezeCommander. The problem is (and I believe it _still_ is a problem until this day) that on Android you don't make enough money with Apps that you can afford to at least level down your first job to justify all the work that is going into the App. He had to make a decision. And if you know that SqueezeCommander - being the best selling Android Squeezebox App and being cheaper than iPeng and Android having some 70-80% market share as to the number of devices - never came beyond around a third of the number of users iPeng has then you get an idea of the dimension. All those people who claim to "love Android" because everything is free there and the devices are so nice and cheap should be aware that this comes at a price. The price being that in the (not even all so) long run, they will be pretty much dependent on the business models of big corporate vendors who have other business models than selling Apps (usually advertising) and who can afford to give away Apps for free. Like Google, Facebook,... But these people should not complain about these corporation's behavior then, that have to somehow recoup their investment. It's up to you what you choose... --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
