I'm very new to the SlimServer so I'm not a great resource - I do have SlimServer running on my ReadyNAS however. There is an image of SlimServer available on the Infrant website. You download it to a local machine and then the ReadyNas software has a facility for uploading updates that will install the SlimServer. Reboot the ReadyNAS and you're running. Infrant has an application for talking to their box but you can also simply use a web interface at ip.address/admin. For the slimserver, you simply supply the port interface, by default, ip.address:9000 From there, you're simply interacting with SlimServer. A few skins are included, I haven't played around with too much. Most of the ReadyNAS boxes come with 128MB of RAM. The Infrant engineers had made the claim that not much performance improvements happened above 256MB before they began to distribute SlimServer. They haven't done much work yet with SlimServer but they suggested that more memory was probably a good idea, especially if you were using jumbo frames and gigabit ethernet. It was pretty cheap so I just dropped a 512MB DIMM into the box. My music library is about 150 GB, FLACs and high bit rate MP3 and performance is fine. Infrant has a forum linked off the support page of their website and they are very quick to respond to any sort of questions. -- BillC ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: [slim] Re: SlimServer on ReadyNAS600
I have exactly the same setting. There is no problem with two slimserver running at the same time. All you need is setup your SB2 to the slimserver you want. Just pull out the power and reconnect the SB2 and it will look for the slimserver again. You can choose manual setup then. You can also use computer control. Just type the ipaddress:9000 and you will find the slimserver on that ipaddress.

Yes, PM can write the partition table w/out affecting the partition data.

I can't say with certain recollection, but I believe I've done exactly this in the past. PM and other utilities can do all sorts of things to the partition table, so your goal would be to change some unimportant aspect (label, type), write out the table, change back and write the table yet again. Not knowing how old is old, i'd suggest using sysreccd instead or your old PM.

Yes, adding from folder name should work. Within the folder doesn't, and and the part that caused that bug was removed. -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the reply.

Re: [slim] Re: A slicker UI for SlimServer?
As a simple test, I can't get anyone else in my house to use the SS UI, though they are all happy with iTunes and find it intuitive. My wife actually finds the Web UI easier to understand and use than the two-line SB display. She keeps pressing up/down instead of left/right and generally getting in a muddle. The Web interface may not be that pretty, but for simply selecting and playing an album, its functional and easy to work out. I agree though, a proper app would be really nice. Perhaps once the threading issues have been sorted out in a future release, to seperate the database, streaming and GUI components, it might be easier to build additional UI's. I would imaging that the web UI would stay in the default installation to support all platforms, but a third party may provide smaller dedicated GUIs. Eg. maybe a simple UI to start/stop/pause/ffd/rewind, and another one to select music to play. In fact new UI applications can be written now that use the CLI to get information and perform actions. I'm not sure how slick these apps would be using the CLI though - are there any threading issues, eg DB access/locking?

For other communications you'll need different drivers (e.g. Java apps would need a JDBC driver). -- radish ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

RE: [slim] Mount SB2 upside down - rotate display text
Although I haven't taken mine apart before so there may be other issues here but how about physically fliping the display upside down in the case? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of gonk Sent: Tue 8/9/2005 12:42 PM To: discuss@lists.slimdevices.com Subject: [slim] Mount SB2 upside down - rotate display text I would like to mount the SB2 upside down under a shelf in the kitchen. This gives me two problems: 1. How to fasten the device mechanically. This can be solved in several ways. This is not a big issue, but it would have helped with some keyhole mountings or similar. 2. The text must be rotated on the display. Anyone know how to change this in the Slimserver code? Is it possible at all?

[slim] Re: Displaying SB2 Firmware Version
player UI: settings-Information-player information, scroll down to player firmware That's what I thought and remember seeing when my SB2 was fresh out of the box. I have done 2 upgrades since then. The latest brought me to Slimserver 6.1.1 and I'm guessing firmware version 15. ? I just checked my SB2 and here's what I have under options: 1 = Language 2 = Time Zone 3 = Time Format 4 = Long Date Format 5 = Screen Saver (playing) 6 = Screen Saver (stopped) 7 = Text Size 8 = Squeezebox Pin No player firmware option. I've tried it with Slim Server running and turned off. I run 98% of the time using Squeeze Network. Any thoughts?

Ah, the firmware version isn't shown on SqueezeNetwork... Press and hold the right arrow key to go back to the player setup, the scroll down to Show Current Settings, then press right, the firmware version will be in that list.
