Volume/Power controls

[kaaholst]

It would be nice to have volume controls in the 'Now Playing' screen.

It would also be nice to have an option to turn off your squeezebox device.  A previous
app, SqueezeControl, let you turn your device off as an option after pressing the menu
button on your phone.

Hi and thanks for the feedback.

The player's volume is controlled by your android device's hardware volume keys. This
is active in any of the Squeezer's screens. If you would like to additionally have
buttons to control the volume on the "Now playing" screen, then please let us know,
and we will see what we can do.

Power on/off of the player should already be supported, so maybe you ave found a bug.
It works be querying the player's capabilities, and if it reports to support power
on/off, then the menu should display power on/power off options according to whether
the player is currently on or off. This works for my SqueezeBox Radios and SqueezeBox
Receiver. If it doesn't work for you, could you please specify some more details, and
I will be happy to try and fix it.

Regards
Kurt Aaholst

Had the same initial problems as the poster. Didnt find the volume button (as i didnt
read). Perhaps an optional "scrollbar" volume button would be nice.

Powerdown works for me.

From mainmenu access menu and choose power down \ power on. (depending on the state
of the player)

0.8 (just released) includes a one-time tip at startup about volume controls.  Hopefully
that this will remove this source of confusion, so I'm closing this.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.

I don't agree about closing the issue (a tip is not a solution, is just an info): software
volume control is a good idea. 
So, if you mind, I would like to additionally have buttons to control the volume on
the "Now playing" screen!!! 
Thanks for the great app!

The volume issue is still active in issue #35 (and it is on our to do list!)

Volume control is now available from Now Playing, and power is from the home menu (via the server) and from the options menu, and players screen.
