[slim] Re: 6.1 smooth scrolling - feeback requested
I really like the look of the smoother scrolling (2, 0.05 looked good to me as well), unfortunately, I was getting some jitters with the shorter scroll times. That may be an artifact of my setup, however. My SB2 is connected to the server via an 802.11g only network. I was bringing up the Slimserver interface over the same network from my laptop so I could fiddle with the settings. Also, my server isn't the most powerful (1.0 GHz, G4, OS X 10.3.9, Slimserver 6.1b1) and I was transcoding AAC to FLAC at the time. The jitters were considerably better (pretty much gone, actually) on the smoother settings if I closed the web interface.

RE: [slim] Voice Recognition / Voice Control for Slimserver?
You could try HAL 2000. This is a voice activated home automation system and has MP3 capabilities. www.homeautomatedliving.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jared Valentine Sent: Friday, 8 July 2005 3:56 PM To: discuss@lists.slimdevices.com Subject: [slim] Voice Recognition / Voice Control for Slimserver? I am helping my brother integrate a Slimserver into a whole-home audio system. Getting physically connected is fine, but the control is what were looking at. Has anyone successfully integrated some sort of voice recognition for the Slimserver to launch playlists, artists, or general control (next song, next album, etc.) or know of a more friendly MP3 server-type software that integrates with voice recognition?

[slim] Re: Problem with Accented Characters
I had exactly the same problem and raised bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1709 I tried the 2005-07-07 nightly yesterday and this seems to have fixed the problem with the exception of one particular album title which is still garbled on SB and browser.

[slim] Searching much slower in recent nightlies
I'm running a nightly off the trunk from a few days back, and it seems to me that searching is now much slower. I used to be able to search for tracks containing sandw via the SB2's interface and it would return in a few seconds. It now seems to take anything up to 30 seconds. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

Seems like it should recover more gracefully. I don't know if the scanning is actually haulted. I only really know that that no artists are picked up after U and no U2 albums are picked up in the directories that follow Concerts It may well be that the SS didn't stop scanning so much as it got really busy following it's tail around this shortcut loop. Either way, it makes sense that nothing past this would have been scanned. Did you notice that SS was using larger-than-resting amounts of CPU for long periods of time? Did the web interface ever stop showing the Your library is being scanned message while browsing the library? Those things would point to a loop.

[slim] Re: SlimServer music rescan
Hi there - shouldn't SlimServer rescan every time it detects a change in the designated music folder? Seems a bit old hat having to tell it you have ripped some new files! In fact having just got to grips with EAC settings (approx. 2 weeks study and trial and error and now I have to rip my first 20 CD's again!) SlimServer (no probs - but a bit passive - see comment above) Lossless Compression (now there's enough reading on the Internet for a lifetimes study!) Tags (should I use iTunes, should I just browse folders) oh dear, tags don't appear in browse folders unless you rescan in SlimServer and then theres FLAC compression options (OMG more techy stuff!) - maybe I should get out more;-) But really - isn't this ripping lark a bit arcane for 2005!!! I mean yes the sound from my Meridian system fed via Squeezebox 2 is well worth the effort - but I have 20 years playing in IT - what on earth do 'normal' folk do...:-) I know lots of folk out there absolutely love user supported and developed software and I have to say I really appreciate the whole Slim Devices ethos - but what I wouldnt pay for good old simple to use and set-up iTunes - but with built-in pre-configured EAC error correction and drive awareness, automatic FLAC conversion and intelligent tagging! Now the Squeezebox 2 thats a different story - it just sits there and works beautifully and I am sure it is totally oblivious to all the propeller head stuff required just to get its files ready for delivery :-) -- Timbo ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Voice Recognition / Voice Control for Slimserver?
I heard of some Philips technology (patented up the wazoo, probably, but that shouldn't stop you from trying it at home) which lets you control the music with voice commands. The thing is, the mic is linked into a DSP system which cancels out the music before it gets to the voice recognition. So supposedly, you can still issue voice commands even with the music turned up so loud that you can't even hear yourself. :) I just thought it was a clever idea - not a small undertaking, but not impossible since the computer knows what's playing. -- seanadams ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
