Signal 1.5 will be dropping support for Mac OS X 10.4. I’ve maintained this for a while since I know there are still a few people using it, but moving the minimum version forward will allow me to replace a lot of old code and make Signal even smaller and faster than before.
If you’re going to stick with Tiger for a while there are no worries, Apple is no longer updating iTunes on this platform so Signal should remain compatible for as long as you wish to use it.

Signal 1.4 is now available, adding a scrubber bar and touch input support for the volume control to the web interface. On iOS devices you can now slide your finger across these controls to easily adjust the volume and and playback position. On a Mac or PC you can move the slider with the mouse or jump to a specific position by clicking anywhere on the bar.
I’ve also posted beta 4 of OnScreen, which now automatically updates play counts and the “watched” state for items in your iTunes library. This is handy for marking podcasts, TV shows, and iTunes U content as seen when played through your game console or any other DLNA device. I’ve been plowing through WWDC videos on the PS3 and having OnScreen help keep track of which ones I’ve already seen has been really nice. Enjoy!

With the release of Mac OS X Lion drawing near I’ve been putting Signal and OnScreen through their paces on the new OS to make sure you have a smooth upgrade. Signal’s software update process required a couple of tweaks which are available in Signal 1.3.7. I recommend all Mac users update to this version before making the leap to Lion. No problems were found with the current OnScreen release so no update is required there.
With the Signal fix both apps are running great on the new cat. Enjoy the upgrade!

Version 1.2 of the RTI driver is now available, adding support for rating the current track, adjusting the playback position, and playing a specified media library path. Library path playback enables the creation of buttons to play songs from any part of the media library such as /Music/Artists/Oasis or /Music/Albums/Americana. Signal 1.3.6 adds support for playing a playlist the same way, so using the Play Library Path command with a value of /Music/Playlists/New Songs would allow you to create a button mapped to the New Songs playlist.

Signal 1.3.5 is up with an important bug fix for Mac users. Yesterday I released 1.3.4 which contained a few minor fixes but also accidentally introduced a dependency on OS X 10.6 that prevented the app from launching on earlier versions of the OS. I apologize if you were bitten by this, the update is available on the downloads page and should get you up and running again.
