Re: [slim] Artwork resizing - could it be managed better?
i think a user, and esp a nas user, should be able to optionally run scans with settings they choose. imagine an "artwork only" scan. imagine a "music only" scan. sure, this may mean your music and art are somewhat out of sync at times, but the user should have the option. (other options in a scanner would be what to look for, so you could turn off looking for embedded artwork, or certain tags you don't need or care about, and as i've mentioned elsewhere, the ability to turn off automated logics like VA and GH) -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - 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=48617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Support for ASX "starttime" and WMA stream seeking
Cool, thanks. My OPML wrapper gives users full access to the streaming archive -- it is dynamic and tied to the published KEXP playlist. Pretty cool if you're a KEXPophile. One last thing I'd love to do is support KEXP's uncompressed archive. Their stream is strange: they send back a mms:// URL that actually streams an uncompressed WAV file.

I was excited to discover that SqueezeCenter now supports seeking in WMA streams. Can we improve the ASX file support, too? Recent versions of ASX have a "starttime" tag. For example, the following blob in an ASX file says to start three hours into a stream: A number of radio stations -- including KEXP, a favorite -- use this technique to help users pinpoint songs and shows in their streaming archives.

So this is first time on the forums since everything has worked like a charm on my slim devices (and recently my squeezebox duet). But I did it - I got a T-Mobile G1 with Android on it - preordered it and it was delivered on Monday. First thing I did was scan in a book and see it find the lowest price on the internet. Second thing I did, was of course, put on some music by connecting to by SqueezeCenter through the wifi. Radical. Some questions though. Neither the Touch or the N770 theme show up correctly - they try to do some fancy things with the header/footer which don't show up correctly.

[slim] 7.2.1 problem: web interface hangs
(I've reported this to Logislim by email, but it can't hurt to see if it rings any bells here as well...) Using the default web interface (under Firefox 3.0.3), it sits permanently at "Loading...", displaying most bits except for the playlist. None (*) of the items under Music Library work (nothing happens). The player controls (on the web interface) still work, and I can switch between players. The currently-playing track is displayed and updates OK. I tried clearing FFox's cache and reloading, but it makes no difference. (*) minor update: I've since discovered that some menu items *do* work, including Music Folder. Custom Browse works, but then none of its items work. Artists, Albums, Genres, Years, New Music and Playlists definitely don't work. I tried Fishbone, briefly; it was even worse - no player display at all, and most menus missing. The Controller interface seems perfectly fine. I had this problem with the first 7.2 release too, but didn't quite get round to reporting it (except in these forums!) before 7.2.1 came out, sorry; I simply went back to SC 7.1 (which worked fine).

[slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge
A new Squeezeslave 0.8 release is now available at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169&package_id=176494 What's new in Squeezeslave 0.8 Works with squeezecenter versions 6.5.4 through 7.2.1. Binaries available for Windows, Linux and Solaris both Sparc and Intel. Win32 version uses Direct X. Linux versions continue to use the OSS audio driver. Solaris versions use native solaris mixer interface. A Pentium MMX binary is also available for linux. Works great on an old Pentium MMX laptop at 133Mhz with 48MB of memory. Modified volume_control define from bool to use the enumerated type slimaudio_volume_t. Fixes issue with VOLUME_DRIVER always being disabled regardless of command line option. Upgraded portaudio library to 0.18.1. Added define GETOPT_SUPPORTS_OPTIONAL to workaround bug in older getopts. Fixed endian problem with ogg/vorbis decoding for Solaris SPARC and MacOSX. Fixed various typos in comments and error messages. Added error codes to the mp3 decoder error messages to help track down what triggers the error. Changed the default mac address to 0:0:0:0:0:1 to allow Squeezecenter to create a new player using the squeezeslave player type and not the old player type. Added less than 1 check to retry interval and reset to new default of 5. Applied flaac.patch to slimaudio_decoder_flac.c to allow 64-bit linux compiles. Applied sc7.patch to slimaudio_decoder.c to fix skipping issue with SC 7.x. Added Solaris UltraSPARC and Intel build files to source tree.

Someone probably has the path and import solutions for you. What happens if you create a folder then manually add a station (not opml)? Does it keep it then? Yes, no computer needed for SN.

Controller hangs in some situations After installing the situation changed: 3. Connection to SqueezeNetwork with Controller NEVER works (register Controller to SqueezeNetwork with PIN is impossible) 4. Controller hangs more often than with SC 7.2 5. Transporter never switches off audio outputs when switched off although it's correctly configured in the settings 5. Transporter hangs when I try to play any music, locally stored MP3s AND internet radio Just to name a few.

Re: [slim] Hard drive storage suggestions
Squeezecenter only recognizes one path to the music files so you cannot add a 2nd,3rd ... etc path. What you can do though is add a shortcut in your existing music folder that points to the music folder on any new disk you add. e.g If your existing music is held in C:\Music and your new disk (D:) also contains a music folder (D:\Music) then you need to create a shortcut in C:\Music that points to D:\Music. When Squeezecenter performs a scan for new music, it will then follow the shortcut and scan any music in D:\Music. If you are using a Linux based OS running Squuezecenter I imagine some sort of symbolic link would achieve the same thing. -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54110 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No go for ReadyNAS and artwork "on demand" resampling then. But what does it do for 13 hours then? It must be resampling and caching the resampled images somewhere. What size are they and where are they being cached to? I turned on debug for artwork and noticed that SlimPronto requests 64x64 images to display a coverart collage. Squeezecenter then resizes from the original folder.fpg of 500x500 to 64x64. Now if these 64x64 images were already cached then there would be no need for this on demand resize. Images would just be retrieved from cache. So we could have resampling enabled and the only downside would be the long scan time. I also noticed that the web interface requests 100x100 and those also get resized and resampled on demand. -- Fishbones Fishbones's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] problems with remote streaming with 7.2.1
I upgraded to 7.2.1 last night and all appeared fine. Today I came into work and attempted to put on some music. It played for a few minutes, but then stopped abrubtly. So I started it again...and then it stopped after a few minutes. I have 2 servers running, so I turned one of the off to ensure it wasn't some sort of networking conflict. No difference. I reverted to 7.2 on one of my servers and it's been playing for about 1/2 hour with no issues. So, I think this issue is specific to 7.2.1. Does anybody else use this functionality? Has anybody else encountered this problem? -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

[slim] 7.2.1 - 'Can't connect to SqueezeCenter' keeps repeating
If a turn on a Squeezebox and the server isn't running I get the following message: Can't connect to SqueezeCenter. Left to go back, right to try again. This message keeps repeating at approximately 10 second intervals until I turn the server on. Since I have at least one Squeezebox plugged into a power strip with my TV and hi-fi, the Squeezebox gets turned on along with the other equipment. I don't always have SqueezeCenter running if I'm not going to listen to music. This message soon gets very irritating so I have to kill the power to the Squeezebox. I'm sure that previous versions of Slimserver / SqueezeCenter used to make the the Squeezebox screen go blank after the message had been shown once.

In general, most people experience better performance (stronger signal at longer distance) using the new N routers in "G" mode. I believe this has to do with advancements in technologies involved in wifi antenna design etc. A stronger signal at longer distance can equate to more bandwidth, but you will never exceed the G standards of 54mbps. It may prove useful if you currently have trouble spots in your wifi environment, and the cost of a N router is probably not much more than a after market high performance G antenna. -- sfraser 2 Chan.

I agree - I spend too much time in front of PCs. But I don't work at home, and I obviously can't lug a real stereo with me from client to client. The iPod has to suffice during business hours. But weekends and evenings are when I want the music all over the house - just not enough time to justify really beefing up what's in the office. iPhone;352329 Wrote: > Speaking of computers, has anybody checked to see if it makes a > difference if softSqueeze is running on the same PC as SC? Does running > SC on a server and softSqueeze on another PC help or hurt the sync > issue? To be more specific about my setup, I have SC running on an ancient Windows Server 2003 SP1 box with a P4 940, 4GB RAM, and all the FLACs are on a 4x200GB SATA RAID5 set. The server does lots of stuff - Exchange, domain controller (no private messages about why you shouldn't co-locate DCs and Exchange, please) web server, SQL server, etc, etc. It's not just for SC. My desktop is a Windows Vista SP1 x64 box, Core 2 Duo E6750, and ASUS P5K-E motherboard (including onboard sound, ADI AD1988B chipset) 4GB RAM. So, OK, I have a goodly amount of memory, but I have not invested in any kind of super fast sound card. Both machines are on the same gigabit switch? That might make a difference? The point I am driving at is that the sound card, in my experience, is probably not affecting things. Unless my specific crappy onboard sound card is the magic bullet for SoftSqueeze synchronization (probability: low) then there's definitely other variables at play. iPhone;352329 Wrote: > Also when I have run softSqueeze on the office PC, I have seen some odd > behavior.

Re: [slim] Any Video on the horizon?
My problem with a video device is i woul also want it to do TV as well. And from there it gets really complicated. I did actually come up with a potential model SD/Logitec could use when i was noodling about last night. It would mean that TV streaming was possible but also wouldn't be a requirement for the basic unit. It would also retail the slim client philosophy. It's probably going a little out with the scope of this thread to start detailing it, but I will if someone *really* wants me to :) (btw, it could quite easily just be a load on nonsense in my head, but it makes sense to me :) ) -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54001 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It would be cheaper too. > That's a popular opinion, but it's fast becoming old fashioned. Especially with mobile devices it's a giant advantage to have only one device in your pocket instead of two. I used to carry a PDA (HP100LX) and a phone around and they were a major hassle to carry arround in your pocket. Now, I have a smartphone that does the job of two. Much better. It also has a GPS receiver which I would use if the software wasn't so terrible. If the software were good enough I'd use it. The fact that many smartphones are so bad at being MP3 players is due to terrible software. The competition of the iPhone will soon force phone makers to improve their mp3 playing ability. It's just not that hard to do. I wouldn't mind a video squeezebox, but I suspect it's pretty hard to do right and integrate it properly with the current software.

Re: [slim] Artwork resizing - could it be managed better?
I'm not sure that's the case - most of the NAS boxes out there are stripped down Linux boxes which should be perfectly capable of running a media server. Of course it depends on what the media server is trying to do. The issue for me around this whole episode was that ReadyNAS was purported to be capable of running the software. It wasn't immediately apparent that this came with big caveats. The option to run with resized artwork was not workable for me - the artwork looked awful. I should note that I also ran for a period of time with the software running on a full PC. I still found the performance and responsiveness of the controller disappointing - I guess I have high expectations... Of course, that was when it was able to get a wireless signal.. -- cwinson cwinson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17447 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcement Squeezecenter 7.2.1
Upgrading to 7.2.1 made my controller lock up frequently, always when browsing to Music Library->Artists and then trying to select an artistthe controller would lock up and then reset itself. Going to Settings->Advanced->Software Update gave a message that there was an update for the controller, but gave the version number as '?' and attempting to update either failed or reset the controller. Reinstalled SC7.2 and all is good again. -- PocketMumble PocketMumble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54045 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
