[slim] Lost contact to Slimserver for v.6.1

So I figured out that Slimserver 6 ignores protected AAC files which accounts for 16 of the 17 additional tracks that iTunes shows in my music library. However, I cannot figure out the last track that is missing. Is there anything that would make Slimserver not count a track that is in iTunes besides it being a protected AAC? do you have any tracks marked as disabled in itunes? do you have read permissions for slimserver for all files? you could try running a scan with d_itunes turned on, then compare the log.

There are some software-tools for ripping DVD-audio, but I have no experience in using them so I cannot give you any advice. For creating surround wavs yourself: Audiotools that can handle surround (Audition for example) can export 6 mono channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR, LFE), then you need an encoder like SURCODE DTS to creat the special DTS-wav format. Just for demonstrating purposes, there are some wavs's available for download from the swedish radio: http://www.sr.se/multikanal/english/e_index.stm NOTE: playing these files WITHOUT a surround decoder results in loud white noise hiss, so be sure you have a surround receiver attached when playing these files!

[slim] Re: Surround WAV's
There are some software-tools for ripping DVD-audio, but I have no experience in using them so I cannot give you any advice. By which I think we mean that there are tools for ripping the audio from a DVD-Video disc, rather than ripping the audio from a DVD-Audio disc, which is intended to be extremely difficult. The Imtoo 'DVD Audio Ripper' (http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-audio-ripper.html) is a cheap way of doing this - I have not used this specific tool but the other Imtoo tools I've tried seem to work as advertised. The 'DVD Audio Ripper' is apparently able to rip AC3 streams and LPCM. Surcode, from Minnetonka Audio Software (www.surcode.com) is an extremely good range of software (as are all Minnetonka's products) but not cheap, and aimed at the professional production market. Slimserver6/SB2 does maintain bit-accuracy end to end, so you can save any surround-encoded stream (AC3, DTS, etc) with a lossless method (I use FLAC but WAV obviously works) that you can decode at the other end - this would include an MLP stream, were you able to lay your hands on one and had an accessible decoder for it at the other end. --Richard E -- relen ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SlimServer 6.0.1 - FLAC issues
Hi there, I'm a SB user running SlimServer on a Buffalo LinkStation (thanks to Marc D. Field for this successful project). Previously I ran SlimServer 5.4.1 streaming only MP3s or WAV. I upgraded to SlimServer 6.0.1 because of the in-built FLAC streaming capabilities. This works fine with SoftSqueeze (v2.014b I believe) and initially worked ok with SB. However, it has stopped working even though it is a ticked supported file type in the Server Settings area (via the web interface). Whenever I try to select a FLAC file with the SB it finds the file, looks like it's going to play it and then comes up with a 'Can't Open File' error. I have made no changes other than to increase the number of FLAC files in my collection and a couple of reboots when Wipe Cache/ReScan didn't seem to work. I've now uninstalled/re-installed Slim Server 6.0.1 several times and whatever I do I can't get the SB to play FLAC (it's fine with MP3 WAV and SoftSqueeze CAN handle FLAC files). Am I doing anything wrong? Did I dream that I got FLAC working with my SB in the first place? Should 6.0.1 work for a SB where SlimServer is insalled on a Buffalo LinkStation? I'm going to buy a SB2 in the near future anyway but I'd really like to get this cracked with my SB in the short term if possible and to ensure the SB has a longer shelf-life (deployed in a different room for instance). Sorry for the long note and thanks for any help advice you can give me. (PS.

Re: [slim] Re: Unwanted 'synchronisation'
Greg and radish, Any luck getting a new log with the debug output patch? If so, please attach to http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289. Thanks, --Vidur Vidur Apparao wrote: The behavior you describe is consistent with my speculation of what might be happening. When SlimServer completes streaming a track to the SB2, it should close the streaming socket for that track. This is an indication that there is no more data for that stream (the data itself does not contain an end-of-stream marker). If, and only if, the streaming socket has been closed, the device sends a decoder underrun message when it finishes decoding the audio - this can be several seconds to minutes after the socket has been closed, depending on how much audio fits into the SB2's input audio buffer. The decoder underrun message is an indicator to SlimServer that it should start streaming the next track. I'm speculating that the server isn't closing the streaming socket for some reason, resulting in a severely delayed decoder underrun message. The patch with the debug output hopefully will help me figure out why. --Vidur radish wrote: Thanks for looking into this Vidur. I'll have a go at applying the patch and running another test tonight if I get time. To answer a couple of your points: These players were synched once, when I first got the SB2 maybe a couple of weeks ago. It didn't work quite how I liked (when synched the players introduced short gaps between tracks which weren't there if not synched) so I disabled it after like 20 mins. The server has been upgraded at least twice and bounced many times since then. To clarify a little about what happens when the SB2 stalls - as it's approaching the end of the track everything is normal. Then, roughly 7 or 8 seconds before the end, the display locks up but the music still plays to the end of the track. The display remains stuck until it wakes back up again when the SB1 changes track. If I use the remote while it's locked I can skip to the next track manually and it works fine. But it will lock up again at the next transition. The network is wireless, but with good signal strength and the bitrate is ~1mbps (FLAC). I should also point out that the SB1 playback never has any problems, and if the SB1 isn't playing, neither does the SB2. This only occurs when both players are playing at once. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

There's probably something common to all of them (tag issues) that is causing it but without that information everyone will just have to guess why you are having issues.

Re: [slim] OGG Files Skipping?
If you have your player set to no limit then OGG is being streamed as FLAC so it's likely that either your 802.11b network can't handle the much higher bandwidth requirements of FLAC or, if you're running this on a real old computer, it may not be able to keep up with the transcoding from OGG to FLAC. I'd put my money on the bandwidth issue since most folks have reported fairly low processor demands for the transcoding. If it is the bandwidth then you'll need to work on improving your wireless reception (perhaps an upgrade to G is in order?) or you could turn on bitrate limiting and suffer a (slight) loss in audio quality by recompressing to MP3. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

5.x had a few quirks from my point of view I just upgraded to latest version of 6 to find that although the overall numbers of files found seems to be right, songs and artists that I KNOW are in there do not show up. Search can't find 'em, and browsing to some albums will show that some tracks that were there in 5.4.1-1 are now missing. downgrading to 5.4.1-1 has resurrected those files, but I'm certainly no longer considering getting any more squeezeboxes/squeezebox2s as the software seems to be getting worse.

Deleted and changed content is lazily removed. This will be actively removed in a future verison. * I am sure that the '6.0.1 Trunk' version on my Linux server at home has a scheduled rescan capability, but on the Windows version here at home, '6.0.1 2895', I simply can't locate it!
