Thread: SqueezePlay running on Maemo

Great stuff - is that an x86 or ARM target? Not had much of a play with the freemantle sdk yet. For the menu bar issue did you try setting SDL to full screen? You can do this in one of the skin files - just pass in 800, 480, true in the setup. This doesn't need a rebuild. The flac issue could maybe be resolved by using a prebuilt lib from maemo extras - I was planning on going through the dependencies at some point and figuring out which...

Grazie signorRossi. As you say, it's not running native, but it's worth a try when I get 'round to it.

This isn't really running Squeezeplay on Maemo natively, but using Squeezeplay through VNC to make the N770 a 'light Controller' could also be useful to someone. These are the steps I took so far: 1) Install tightvncserver on my (Ubuntu) box: 'sudo apt-get install tightvncserver' 2) Start it up once to get needed configuration files created: 'vncserver' 3) Set a password for VNC to get minimal security:...

idontwantapickle, thanks for the PM reply. All, As I mentioned before, I have a fully functional Nokia 770 that's simply sitting around gathering dust. It would really be super awesome if that could be converted into a dedicated SqueezePlay controller. Ideally I would like to to simply boot straight into SqueezePlay and to remove anything else that is unessential to maximize processor and memory availability to SqueezePlay. What do you...

Thanks for the tip to get full screen. Works a charm. The target is x86, but I'm hoping that Nokia has built the sdk properly and building an ARM version won't cause any additional problems. The last time I compiled squeezeplay was a few weeks ago, so I used the pre-touch version of squeezeplay. Today I tried the latest version. I got it compiled and running fine. Unfortunately, I have the same problem as you. The sound doesn't...

Ditto on the "770 gathering dust" comment...would be interested in any progress towards getting SP running on the older devices. I originally bought it to run the SC web UI, but then SBC happened!

I'd also like to get Squeezeplay running on my 770. Are there any instructions anywhere? Thanks Richard

I'm very soon going on a few days holiday but wanted to pipe in and say that this is really really awesome. I've been wondering about squeezeplay on maemo for a time now, and I'm impressed you got as far as you have. The licensing thing is an ongoing issue and is covered by this bug: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194 It might get a little hairy if Logitech decides that SP on maemo would cut into our hardware...
