Hi jeton.
Thank you very much. Great to hear you are enjoying using my app. 🙂
I’ll try to answer all of your questions, but I have to say that the performance of soundseeder on different devices, by different manufaturers and with different versions of android is very hard to predict.So:
1:
a) The most important factor for the playback performance of soundseeder, is the quality of your wifi signal. When you move around your devices might loose their connection, the streaming buffers run empty and the playback gets out of sync. Make sure your wifi connection is stable and fast.
b) Updating to Android 4.1 can definetely improve the performance of your speakers, yes. Android 4.1 brings an improved audio api and has a much better overall performance than android 2.x and 4.0.
c) Did I relly say “a good Wifi app”? I guess I meant “a good wifi connection” or “a good wifi access point”. (see a)) You can try to improve the connection by using another phone or a wireless wifi router as dedicated portable hotspot to connect your player and speakers. Place the access point in the center of all your devices to get the best connection.2:
At the moment SoundSeeder uses the default Equalizer of your ROM. I don’t think you can uninstall it to replace it by another EQ. I think you will have to flash a new ROM with a builtin EQ that fits your requirements.
a) I don’t hink so. Dlna/upnp will not help us here…3:
Sorry but wav files will not be supported soon. You can play them with soundseeder (by selecting them via an external file browser) but the playback will most likely not be in sync.I do my best to improve soundseeder and I’m planing to add more and more features, so please stay tuned and let me know if you miss anything… 🙂

jensHey nillix.
Thank you for your feedback!
Is the Logitech Media Server a software dlna server on your pc or a standalone hardware drive?
If its free and installable I can try to test it…Spotify integration is on my roadmap, but thats not so easy because of some license and api questions. I don’t want my app to be banned from the playstore. 🙂 If there is any progress, I will let you know.
iOS support is also on the roadmap but I can’t tell you any release dates yet.Is your Android device connected to the same network? Please check the ip address in the SoundSeeder settings, is it something like 192.168.126.*?
– If not: You need to specify the correct network interface when starting the speaker app.
– If so: Maybe your Windows firewall is blocking the connection to your phone? Have you been asked to allow Java to access your network?Yes, you are right. Thanks for reporting.
I’ll unlock flac files and reasign the mime type to audio/flac.The next update will be available by the end of the week.
Hello Lisheng.
Is the complete error message: Address already in use: JVM_Bind ?
This means that another application is using the port SoundSeeder requires.
You need to find out which application it is and stop it.You get the list of your currently used ports by using “netstat”:
C:\>netstat -abnoYou need to look for port: 42440
Your math sounds OK, but your Wi-Fi has to handle 40MB/s upload on player side + 40MB/s download for the speakers.
I’ve never tested soundseeder with more than 16 devices, you should be able to connect much more.
But I’m not sure if a standard Wi-Fi access point can handle 200 connections.You are welcome to ask as many questions as you have… 🙂
Please check:
http://soundseeder.com/help/how-many-speakers-can-i-connect/The maximum number of speakers is only limited by your wifi bandwidth and the performance of the player device. But I think a good Wi-Fi ap is most important.
Hi.
You need to start the speaker in a command line window. Please1. Press: “windows button” + r
2. Enter “cmd” and click on OK
3. now enter “java -version” to check if Java is installed. You should see something like:java version "1.8.0_31" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)4. If this was successful, you need to navigate to the folder, where the unzipped JavaSE Speaker is located.
Here is a nice overview of how to use the windows command line:

5. Now launch the speaker as described in our FAQ:

JensFirst of all I would need an Apple PC and an iPhone to develop the iOS version.
And even if I get them, it will take some time. So please don’t wait for it, but I promise, I’ll do my best! 🙂
Maybe I can find an iOS developer who wants to support me and the project…Hi Naren.
Thank you very much!
For now I don’t have any plans for an iOS or Windows Phone version, sorry.I don’t have enough free time to implement and support three different versions. But a speaker-only version might be an option when the Android App is “ready”. 🙂
SoundSeeder Player v1.1.3
- DLNA compatibility improved
- InApp purchases on Android 5 fixed
- Radio Station sorting and menus fixed
SoundSeeder Speaker v1.0.1
- Fixed startup crash on some JellyBean devices
Ok. Thanks you! This will be fixed in the next release.
If you like, you can join my beta test team and test the new version tomorrow. Please send me a mail to jekapps@gmail.com and I’ll send you an invitation.
Else you will get the update by the end of the week.Greets
