I am glad it is working - I will add some basic touch screen buttons in the future, that would make it more handy for sure. Just need to find some time...

/script.xsqueeze/resources/skins/default/XSquuezeNowPlaying.xml is the main xml you'd look at (but the main program will need n update to support it as well - you can find src on googlecode if you want to do a pull request)...

It occurs to me I don't actually HAVE a touch device any more - I un-jalibroke my iPad and can't be bothered re jailbreaking it (the iPad was a gift, we just use it for kids TV in the car but other than that I hate it's apple closed wall horribleness). I have not bothered to get a Nexus7 or similar yet....so it might be hard to test this stuff, but I suppose if I just add some basic buttons, they will be usable by both remote and touch automatically?
I am not sure how this will work with the controller down the bottom that kind of takes control of the remote by default...perhaps I will need to have two skin files, or something? Anyone have ideas on how this should work - without breaking the primary control of a remote controlled virtual Squeezebox?

Yep I get that - and it wouldn't be too hard in all, but the problem is, how does it relate to using the remote with the virtual squeezebox. I suspect maybe I'd need two versions or something, or maybe a button to click to activate the squeezebox mode, and then you exit out of that to use the normal buttons.
Seems kinda awkward though.
To me an iPad is just like an annoying laptop without a keyboard. My Series 9 2012 Samsung weighs not much more and does a whole heck of a lot more...

Hmm you can try to add the buttons and I will test them with Touch and also on Crystalbuntu and so we can see if it works without for 'second skin'.

I will have to mull it over and find some time...also, frickin' googlecode is broke in several ways right now so I can't commit anything till they fix that, so I am a bit stuck anyways...

an early test release of Squeezeplug is now available - using Raspbian. This includes a build of Squeezeplay.
I have downloaded it but not yet tried - need to free up an SD card.

You are hijacking. Move them to a separate one.

My message was not a hijack - Bossanova808 asked for my input on this particular issue.
If you read a little way back you will see why it is particularly relevant (basically - binaries used in SqueezePlug can probably be used in Xsqueeze to replace the current one when running on Raspbian-based distributions)..

No - I did mean SqueezePlug - it is a distribution of SqueezePlay and LMS for low-spec devices and it includes a build for RaspberryPi.
There is a new alpha build available that is based on Raspbian - and the SqueezePlay from that release might solve the problem that people have been having in getting Xsqueeze to work on Rasbian-based distributions of XBMC (like Raspbmc RC4).
