hi all
is it just me, or does honeycomb on the transformer lack a search function? i have been using gingerbread and the like before and they had a search function. what i am trying to do is be able to search from a list. one example is in 2player. it works good with streaming from my windows pc, but i have a huge list of songs but how the hell am i supposed to search with it? there is no search function on 2player, or any other player i tried to use. what if i want to play a song that starts with letter S? i have to scroll to S and play what i am thinking of. i mean i am looking something like winamp which has a search function or sonos app. any help is appreciated.

Dear m8's,
In the Android market I find quite a lot of Squeexbox Controlles etc (Squeeze Commander, Squeezer, Squeeze Remote, SqueezeDroid etc.. etc.. a lot)
All those Tools enable me to controll my Squezebox Server and start playing music on my players.. but .. the most obvious that one might want to do is not possible:
listen to the music with the phone as the player....
I cant find an App that is turning my phone into a Squeezebox Player.
Is there a specific reason why this was not done yet?
Regards
Aspi
PS: I Think quite a lot of people would be willing to pay for such an App....

Well, if you want to do it right, it's pretty complicated and a lot of work.
Because you need to implement the full SqueezeBox audio protocol to enable e.g. synchronization.
For SqueezeCommander, this is on the TODO list, but I cannot tell you an exact time frame, yet...
BTW: You can already use your phone as player:
Just install a Streaming Player App (e.g. AntPlayer), connect it to http: //<yourserver>:9000/stream.mp3 and keep it running in the background.
You should now be able to control the stream using you favorite SB remote app, because your phone will appear as new player on the server.
WOW ..
i did not expect devs of SqueezeCommander to directly reply to my question.
Thanks a lot. I'm looking forward for this to be implemented in SqueezeCommander.
And thanks a lot for the useful workaround.

I searched the Transormer forums but it doesn't look like anybody has had this question before.
I have a pair of Zagg Smartbuds, they have a button on them that is used to change tracks, pause, answer calls etc. It works on my Android phone with CM7 installed, but I can't use it to change tracks on the Transformer.
The button is supposed to be compatible with Apple products, and from what I understand this has become the industry standard.
There are plenty of other ways to change tracks, but I like using the button, can anyone help?

Are you using the default music player? Have you tried any other music players from the Market to see if the same thing happens?
Pretty sure its going to depend on the player until an app is created to handle the hardware input or it is baked into the OS...
More specifically, we don't even know if the headphone jack installed even supports it.
It's not all software.

I've tried a few different music players like PowerAMP, with no luck. I wonder if this is something that's been built into the Prime ROM? I'm not rooted, but would root for this feature!
So when you hit play from a bluetooth device it seems to be pure luck as to which player will start on android.
Is there anyway to alter this behaviour? The phone in question isn't rooted, and won't be. Since this is the case I can only remove the updates to the Music player, but it's still there and will randomly take priority over winamp.
I've always experienced this no matter what media players I'm using. Sometimes it will just start playing on the regular app instead of the app i want

Solution
The Solution is: Install old winamp 1.1.1

Not finding much launchers for my ugoos um2.
Anyone have any solutions?
Also has anyone had any luck with getting YouTube lean back working so that I can queue videos with my android device to the TV stick.
Utorrent would be nice if I could queue files from my android mobile to the TV stick also. Anyone got this working?
Thanks
Steven

launchers...
Can you please describe this problem further? When I search for home screens or launchers in google play store, I get 2 or 3 that seem good for display on televisions such as this one "TVLauncher". Is this what you are talking about?

YouTube leanback... Utorrent...
I'm not sure if apps in one android device can control another android device the way you want... Maybe if the control device runs the app, while the other device to be controlled runs a browser in 'desktop' mode (not Chrome) and browses to an appropriate web address such as youtube.com/leanback or remote.utorrent.com but this seems awkward. So basically I recommend to try a remote control app that is designed for android-to-android control, such as "Tablet Remote".

Whatever happens, I recommend to opt-in for HTML5 player in youtube.com/html5 so as to minimize use of Flash player. Otherwise, install Flash player app on all android devices that will play youtube and other online videos.
Cheers.

Hi,
I just want to make sure that I do not miss anything here, before returning the watch:
Is it correct that the spotify App does not allow you to use the "play to" or better known as Spotify Connect function of spotify? Hence, I am not able to select and control the music on the watch and play it via my home entertainment system? Seriously, am I just looking in the wrong places for this or doesn't the watch support this and nobody is mentioning this important fact in the trillion reviews out there? Thanks in advance and best regards!
