SB Classic Analog VU disappears when computer off


I Like the analog VU meters on the SB Classic but when my computer is
switched-off and I'm listening to web radio it flicks up for a second
then disappears.
I'm finding it very frustrating trying to get it back up again.
Cycling through the now playing visualisations doesn't work and I think
I've exhausted all the screensaver permutations.

Any guidance? Thanks.

Hi pale,

Welcome to the fun. Those effects are done by the server and passed to
the player. No such function from other sources.

Struggling to get my head around Software Players


I want to be able to play music from my LMS on the PC it's running on.
Not bothered about a separate GUI for this, ideally I'll be using the
Web Control. I'm running LMS 7.7.0

I used to use Softsqueeze for this purpose but it seems incredibly
flakey now. I seem to have to reinstall it from the Web Control every
time I use it, and I keep getting prompted to update my Java even though
I have the latest version. I'm not even sure SS is supposed to run on
7.7...

It seems like their are other options, Squeezeplay and Squeezeslave for
example, but I can't even work out how to install those.

Help! This seems like a relatively straightforward thing to want to do.

Softsqueeze should still work.  The Webs start stuff has not been
maintained but if SS is installed on PC there is no need for web start. 

What OS on the PC ?

Re: Struggling to get my head around Software Players


I'm on Windows 7

Basically, I installed Soft Squeeze from the plugins page on LMS. It
then showed up under "Extras" on the main menu of the Web Control on
LMS. That link took me to a page telling me to update Java and with a
link to install and run Softsqueeze. I updated Java but the instruction
to update Java never disappeared. I installed Softsqueeze as instructed
and it ran OK, but everytime I go back to using it I need to reinstall
SS from that link which doesn't seem right.

Re: Struggling to get my head around Software Players


You should try installing Softsqueeze so that it runs from a Windows
shortcut.

The various versions can be found here.  I didn't do the builds but I
believe they all work.

Re: Struggling to get my head around Software Players


Right, I actually did that to start with and I couldn't get it to
connect to the server:

"Connection failed, please check server settings"

Re: Struggling to get my head around Software Players


D'oh! 

Nevermind, I was wondering where the Network settings got this "Music"
title for my Server from. Once I changed that to my PC's name it works
fine.

Thanks for your help.

SqueezPplay emulates the Touch/Radio, but you don't need to use the
player controls, just select it as a player in the Web UI.
