[slim] Odd stopping behavior at playlist start..
I am using squeezebox 1 with 6.1.1 Slimserver on Windows XP. Startup is through perl and slimserver.pl. This is the problem where the squeezebox claims to be playing (the mode is playing according to xml/status.xml and the regular web interface skin.. Now playing reports the correct track on the squeezebox display), but if you have the Now Playing display set to show elapsed time, it shows a bizarre number like --2:--30:-1, and no sound comes from the squeezebox. Slimserver still occupies a typical CPU/memory slice, but the audio does not end up being output over the RCA jacks. This has happened to me on both Windows (XP) and Linux (FC3/FC2) platforms. Using xml skin status.xml shows that elapsed time is some seemingly arbitrary large number of seconds under tag player_statuscurrent_songseconds_elapsed: current_song playlist_offset0/playlist_offset playlist_length11/playlist_length remove_urlxml/status.xml?p0=playlistp1=deletep2=0/remove_url seconds_elapsed8299/seconds_elapsed seconds_total314/seconds_total Pressing and holding the pause button to enter the stopped mode, and then pressing play clears up the problem. Looking again at seconds_elapsed after the stop and play procedure, we get a more reasonable value: current_song playlist_offset0/playlist_offset playlist_length11/playlist_length remove_urlxml/status.xml?p0=playlistp1=deletep2=0/remove_url seconds_elapsed12/seconds_elapsed seconds_total314/seconds_total This is a truly annoying problem that occurs infrequently. I am hopeful that the clearly wrong seconds elapsed at the start of playlist will help identify the problem.

[slim] Re: Two Squeezeboxes
Daniel, If I understand your issue correctly, you want to know why one of your Squeezeboxen is selected as the current player in the dropdown although you never selected it. You also might notice that if you select the desired unit and then exit, when you restart the web interface the other unit is reselected. I am using 5.4.1 and this has been a personal annoyance of mine for some time. I asked around a bit in the forums a while back regarding how SlimServer selects the default unit but never got a good answer. My experience leads me to believe that the Squeezeboxen are listed in alpha order the but default selection seems to have something to do with the MAC address. I have leanred to live with this by physically swapping players and renaming. Of course, if anyone knows of a better way to do this, it would be appreciated.

You can also tack a ?player=macaddr at the end of your SlimServer link to force a specific player to be active. This, I believe needs to be supported by the skin author so it won't necessarily work this way on all skins. I believe Default has supported this for awhile, and more recently ExBrowse has been updated to support this too.

Mikerob, Thanks, but no it doesn't show under Various Artists. It is the strangest thing. An Advanced Search for the Artist doesn't find the Albums. When I search for a song that I know is there, the search results show the artist correctly. However, the one album that does show up normally under Browse by Artist shows the artist id as 1491 when I hover over the link. When I hover over the artist link in the search results of the missing song the artist id shows as 848. All of the missing tracks have this artist id. So, it appears that there are 2 different artists being created for the same artist string. I have verified with a tag editor and in the iTunes Library.xml file that the Artist strings are identical.

Volunteers do most of it. Folks like KDF and others. It is mostly volunteers who provide a lot of the customer support. its a community. Slim does hardware stuff and critical changes for new hardware. And if your hardware is broken, they will fix it or send you new ones. The reality is, if you want it really because it is really important to you, do a design, write it up, define how it works, etc. Or get hundreds of people to agree that it is a priority and Sean, Patrick or Dean will move it up their priority list. Slim Devices ain't Microsoft. I like it that way.

[slim] What happened to the old interface?
Hi, I just upgraded to the newest version of Slimserver and now it does not open in its own dedicated browser like it used to but my default internet browser. Is there any way to get the old dedicated browser back? Thanks. -- jorg ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: songs missing from library; squeezebox restarts
stinkingpig suggested: Web interface, Server Settings, Rescan Music Library. If a rescan doesn't fix it, check the Clear library before rescan box and do it again (this may take a long time). I started the rescan (thanks for the pointer!) and went to do something else. When I came back, I discovered that the Slimserver had stopped running. I started Slimserver again from the apple control panel and went to the Search for one of the songs that's been missing. As soon as I type a character in the search box, the Slimserver stops running. I can restart, but I can't search. Bee-zarre. Happens whether I use Safari or Firefox. Anyone seen this before? Any tips for troubleshooting and isolating the problem? Thanks in advance! -- odavis ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
