I still haven't managed to get past the 3716 error 'safety settings on this computer prohibit accessing a data source on another domain' on my office PC or my musicserver. I am able to access the database from the office PC for tagging etc with no problem. So as a last resort tried it on my laptop. I had an ODBC access problem at first. Disabling Windows XP firewall on the server solved this problem and I have produced my first reports! Needed a little tidying of tags to get repots looking good. Brilliant application! The only slightly odd looking thing I have left is where I have both a track and album artist defined, each track is listed twice, once for the track artist once for the album artist. e.g. Loudmouth -Best of Bob Geldof the Boomtown Rats. Some tracks are credited to Bob Geldof (TrackArtist) some to the Boomown Rats (TrackArtist) but I have AlbumArtist=Bob Geldof the Boomtown Rats! Is there a way of defeating this so that the track is only printed once for either AlbumArtist or TrackArtist? Great to hear everything is working now. Was disabling/modifying the firewall the solution to the problem (good to know)? I believe that the problem you are facing with is due to the fact that squeezecenter actually stores two references to the album in the database. The same thing occurs when you specify multiple artists by using the ';' as seperator char. I'll see if I can create a fix for it. I need to build a query that could combine the different artist results for a single album but must admit my SQL knowledge is not quiet the level required here ;-) If anyone is able to help me out by a really intelligent SQL query, I would be most happy. Otherwise i have to create a workaround in the code processing the current results which would not benefit the performance I'm afraid. Anyway. Issues is on my to do list.

[slim] Battery not loading on Squeezebox Controller
Hi there, my new Duet was fine until the Battery went low. So i put it into the loading cradle and the battery symbol on the controller loops from left to right, saying to me i'm loading. After loading about 16 hours i took it from the cradle, and got the old message: battery low. I took off the battery for several minutes and it was cold, so i think there is no loading power. I did several tries, but no success. (Controller works fine in the cradle, and battery continues looping) Is there any trick i can do ?

Hi, Last night i got woken up by my sqeezebox just after 3AM. This is the second time its happened. I have an alarm set for 7AM so i just assumed it was time to get up. I've checked the server log file but there is nothing in there regarding it. Are there any other log files i can check to see why this happened? Could it be anything do do with my alarm? maybe the squeeze box's time went temporarily 4 hours fast?

Re: [slim] Question about tagging
I have a large collection of cd's ( 600 pieces ) wich are ripped to mp3's. Now i am replacing them by Flac's. I remove a mp3 album and replace it with a flac album. I do a scan for new albums and tag-updates. But on the remote controller i have an artist with two identical albums. One flac version and a mp3 version ( even though i removed the mp3 version, before scanning ) The mp3 version shows, on the remote controller, empty. I have to do clear and new scan to get rid of the double versions. The only disadvantage is that this version of scanning take aprox. 6 hours.

(both refer to recent 7.1 SCs) when i do a clear and rescan, it goes thru the steps, and i watch on the status page, which is nice to have now btw. however, when it gets to the final 'database optimize' step, it gets about 7 seconds in, and just stops updating. i can wait many minutes, and its stuck [displaying] at 7 seconds. if i then refresh, and go back to the status page, it shows that it completed the database optimize, and only took 30 seconds to do so. is anyone else seeing this? second minor bug?: on the settings page, if i click the advanced tab, there is a drop down type of box in the top left, and you can pick command line interface thru software updates however, when picking, i get scroll bars both vertically as well as horizontally. this is the only drop down box in settings that happens, (i know of). i assume they aren't supposed to be there, right? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49977 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Anyone who is a bit bored.
Hi, thanks! i tried this one (LameTag) too, unfortunately without success. Those CBR-mp3's don't have lame-tags at all - i probably have encoded them in the pre-lame-days with something like bladeenc. The tool which finally was able to repair those tracks was 'MP3 repacker' (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=32379) and it's GUI 'WinMP3Packer' (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=40780hl=). It even preserved all ID3-Tags. the steps i've done to get rid of these messages: - disable mip for the time (to reduce the scanning time) - set scan, scan.import scan.scanner to debug - perform a full scan and identify those mp3 tracks - use WinMP3Packer with default-options to re-package those tracks - sometimes converts CBR to VBR (!!! this overwrites the source !!! make a backup before and somehow save/note the timestamp if you'd later want to restore it) - enable MIP disable debug log for scanner perform another full-scan - no more warnings kind regards, Markus -- schiegl schiegl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6654 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48548 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Losing my mind...
I've had the squeezebox duet for about 3 weeks now. I had been running slimserver/sqeezecenter for quite a while for remote streaming, so there was really little for me to do to set it up. It was fairly easy and really worked flawlessly (including the MiP mixes) for a week. I've had to exchange the remote because of a bad screen and nothing has worked correctly since... If I put the remote down and stop playing music for more than 20 min or so, the remote loses connection to the server (red light on the wifi strength indicator on the remote), but never my wireless. 50% of the time I have to shut the remote off and turn it on to have it connect (choosing player doesn't work). The other 50% of the time, I can actually browse and play music even the icon is still red--this never changes back to white either. Now I can't even reboot the remote--it gets hung on the Goodbye screen and I have to pull out the battery. Other problems: I can no longer use a password (it worked fine with my first remote) on Squeezecenter. This is a problem because I use it for remote streaming. It'll prompt me to enter username and password and then just go in a loop where it keeps asking me over and over until it hangs. Currently I'm not using a password at all. And finally, I'm able to make a single MiP mix. Every single mix I try to create pulls up and plays the first MiP mix I made--this occurs even if I clear the first mix. What's so frustrating is that this product really was working flawlessly, with the exception of a bad screen on the remote and now it's virtually unusable. I've also tried uninstalling both squeezecenter and MiP and doing a full scan which didn't help either (oh yeah, clear libary and rescan doesn't work either--I have to blow away the database manually.) Sqeezecenter Version 7.1-21511 Remote Version 7.1 r2704 (just downloaded this morning, but the inability to shut down the remote remains) This is running on XP SP3 Any help would be very appreciated. -- Ultraviolet Ultraviolet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49981 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Internet Radio cuts out after 30 minutes or so
I'm looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this and/or work around it. I'm trying to stream a radio station from the following URLs: 128kbps (http://128.208.34.80:8002/listen.pls) 64kbps (http://128.208.34.80:8000/listen.pls) I started out with the 128kbps stream, and it seemed to play fine--for about 30 minutes or so, and then it just stops. If you push play again, the stream will pick up again and play for another 30 minutes or so. Sometimes it's less than 30 minutes, but I'm not sure it's ever lasted longer. Things I've tried: - Multiple versions of SqueezeCenter. I've tried the 6.5x series, the 7.0 series, and I'm now on a 7.1 nightly. The 6.5 series stuttered instead of stopping, but other than that, it was the same. - Just stream it on the PC. Yep, on the PC it doesn't stop after 30 minutes, so I think that shows it's not a problem with my Internet connection. - Lower bitrate stream. I tried 64kbps, same results. My 1.5 Mbps DSL connection may be pokey, but it should definitely handle that fine. - Take wireless out of the picture. Same results wired. - Proxied vs. native playback. Same results either way. I could open a bug if I only knew more. I'm thinking that the stream periodically refreshes or does some fancy redirection that my PC can understand but the SB3 can't. Could I use Mplayer (I'm on Linux) to read the stream and redirect it to SqueezeCenter, like the AlienBBC plugin does? How would I do this?

Re: [slim] Internet Radio cuts out after 30 minutes or so
Couple of things you can try. In Settings - Player - Now Playing Information, choose Show Buffer Fullness. You should get around 20 seconds of audio buffered for this station (10 / 10). It should basically never drop lower than that unless there are internet issues. Enable the following logging options: player.streaming.remote player.streaming.direct player.source And check the server.log file after the stream fails to see what went wrong. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49986 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I know iPhone does a lot of optimization to conserve power, so maybe it somehow detects an empty stream and shuts it of... The behavior is completely reproducible: When I pause the stream (on SC) and then also pause it on the iTuner app, it loses the connection (and indicates so). When I then try to restart (on iTuner) it says cannot recognize stream format. But if I then re-start the stream on SC it can connect again. It also seams to buffer ahead quite a bit (30s for my 192 kbps mp3s and more than 2min for 64kbps streams) so I can only imagine the distorted playback has to do with decoding issues. Lower bitrates make no difference, it seems to have more to do with the track, some songs seem to be more sensitive than others (reproducible).

[slim] Invaluable Windows gadget for audio libraries
dbpoweramp Windows Explorer Pop-up Information I don't use dbpoweramp for either ripping or music transcoding, but I have it installed nonetheless. The only reason is for the Windows Explorer Pop-up Information. Just mouseover a file in Windows Explorer to read all the tags, nicely laid out and formatted. I've been using it for years and it keeps getting a little better with each release of dbpoweramp. It's great for esily viewing your tags in audio files, and a lot more convenient than having to load up the files in a tagging program. If you install it, see the dbpoweramp Configuration Music Converter Enable Pop-up Information Tips Advanced page for customizing the output. Make sure you install the appropriate codec package for each of the music file formats whose tags you'd like to view in Windows Explorer. It does mp3 by default, but there are codecs for Flac, Ogg, Monkey's Audio, etc. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49998 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Using Duet Player without the remote...
The only supported way to setup an SBR is with an SBC (although if you have multiple players there's nothing stopping you using the same SBC to set them all up). There is, however, a tool available (which simbo linked to) which is designed to allow you to setup an SBR on it's own. From what I hear it works fine, but it's not officially supported by Logitech so it's up to you whether to risk it. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Using Duet Player without the remote...
TravisKleckner;321026 Wrote: Is it possible to setup and use the players without the whole remote package? Thanks in advance. As others have pointed out, you need the remote to configure the player for your wireless network. Once past that you can use SC to control the player. I do that almost exclusively. SC runs on our family room computer, adjacent to the entertainment center, where the router and SBR are. The computer is almost always already on, so I use it rather than wait for the controller to power up. My kids like the web interface too. Part of it will depend on your listening habits. Personally, I fire up a Rhapsody station or a long playlist and just let it go. But if you like to skip around a lot within your music library on the fly, the remote would be much better. Otherwise you'd have to stay parked in front of your computer. -- raaurora raaurora's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze as application on iPhone
andyg;321113 Wrote: What's needed to fix bug 6266? Is this related to the Tuner issue? No. This is to be able to load media FILES (not streams) with iPhone. So the links to the .mp3 files (for mp3 files) that are already in the songinfo page could be used to play a file. You can use that to construct a page with a playlist (including the files) that iPhone would play. You cannot control it through SC anymore, but you can browse the DB and play files. I would say streaming Internet Radio to iPhone is less important since every radio that is not deeply sleeping currently tries to get a streaming app online for that so nothing SC needs to do. Of course, a real App that uses the stream or even understands the squeezebox protocol would be much better, but it's a start. I don't know what's needed to fix this (technically speaking), but I know that the server would have to support byte range access which means the client can select which portion of a file it wants to download at a given time. If you don't have an iThingy to test you can use QuickTime, I think it has the same limitation. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49991 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
