Re: [slim] Positive ReplayGain and Clipping
@ cliveb, jeffmeh, marsboer: Sorry if I was too ambigous regarding -where- RG should be applied. If we -know- that we have something »at the receiving end« that -can- do it, we should do it there, since the receiver might well have some 24-, 48- or 96-bit DAC that of course could apply changes much more »lossless«. I also very much agree with the possibility of a decision on a per-player basis. (Missing it on remote streams though#8212;I often listen to my music while working and use Winamp or xmms for that.) I found that this actually pretty much is how SC/SB combos work already. The reason for maybe elaborating too much on general principles was maybe that - I tend to see all standpoints, try not to forget a real-world possibility. (Over 30 years in the business affect the brain ;-) - I also tried using a »remote stream«, i.e. hooking Winamp to SC. Which will currently -not allow RG adjustment.- (That#8217;s why I thought about doing something on the server end for these cases. Almost every cheap software player can do that nowadays, so I expected it not be too much overhead for these cases.) - I have been working a lot in the broadcasting area during the past years, this might have influenced my writing a little. (Need to do all processing before signal gets »on air«.) - Frankly, I#8217;m quite new to this product, so I haven#8217;t had the time to study each and every aspect of it. (Actually missed how much RG stuff was already implemented.) Anyway, sometimes a good thing to »re-invent the wheel« again without being influenced, and then compare the results. So, my apologies if I offended anyone by stating the obvious again. I guess we pretty much agree, after all. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30316 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Positive ReplayGain and Clipping
Clive, thanks for the example. I understand. If the player's digital attenuation were incorporated into the replaygain adjustment, I would expect that if the user were to increase the volume mid-track, then he could cause clipping. To continue with your example: - File peaks at -3dB, replaygain is 6dB, player volume -2db. - The basic no-clip replaygain is 3dB. The player-specific no-clip replaygain is 5dB. - User queues the track, SC sends replaygain of 5dB. While track is playing, user increases player volume to -1dB. Track clips. I do not think it desirable to allow the user to introduce clipping with the player volume control, so I would not really be in favor of this. That being said, if it is simple to implement, optional, and defaults to off, I would have no problem with it, lol. -- jeffmeh jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30316 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Use tp's optical output to switch amp on and off ?
Hello, I noticed that the optical output of tp is active whenever the unit is connected to a power source (dc) even if it is powered down. When it went inactive whenever I powered off the tp and went active again whenever the tp is powered on via the remote or sc7 it would be possible to switch an amp I v2 (maker is Audionet)(could be a power amp that I would consider) on and off as needed. You get the point? The amp has an optical input which is only used to decide if a signal is present. When that signal is present the unit is switched on. Without that signal the unit remains silent. That optical input does NOT transport digital audio but is only a means of switching the device via an other device. Optical spdif is used to electrically isolate the power amp from the source. So if any one knows about a way of switching the digital out of transporter on when powering on and off when I use the power off button of my ir remote it would be nice if he shared his knowledge. I think it wouldn't be a problem if the tp transmitted audio data via that spdif port since the amp only cares about a signal being present. It doesn't care what signal mostlikely.

Re: [slim] blank display on SB after 7.3 Update

But then both display a blank/black diplay :-( I can control them via webfontend and they both play music from library and radio. The SC (on W2K Server) works good. Perhaps the firmware update fails; ho can i repeat the firmware update? Is there anybody with the same problem or someone with any idea??? I had the exact same problem on my Boom (but not on my 2 SB3). I solved the problem (finally, after an array of other futile measures) by pressing reset player settings for my Boom in the web UI. Now everything works fine. (The SC 7.3 nightly as of 5 December worked fine and that one used, as I recall it, the same firmware on the Boom as the final SC 7.3 release.

Re: [slim] Positive ReplayGain and Clipping
jeffmeh;370848 Wrote: Clive, thanks for the example. I understand. If the player's digital attenuation were incorporated into the replaygain adjustment, I would expect that if the user were to increase the volume mid-track, then he could cause clipping. To continue with your example: - File peaks at -3dB, replaygain is 6dB, player volume -2db. - The basic no-clip replaygain is 3dB. The player-specific no-clip replaygain is 5dB. - User queues the track, SC sends replaygain of 5dB. While track is playing, user increases player volume to -1dB. Track clips. Indeed. That's another reason why to incorporate the digital volume control into the calculations, it probably needs to be done in the firmware - which could re-calculate while playing the track when the volume is changed. The more this gets analysed, the trickier it seems that incorprating the digital volume control would be. Probably the safe option is to just forget about it - in which case the fix can be done purely in SqueezeCenter, which ought to be much easier than fiddling with the firmware. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30316 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Which product should I get?
Well, you need either one of those you mentioned. The have some drawbakcs and pros each being roughly the same device but with slight differences. The all do pandora streaming. But the boom does not stream via spdif neither coaxial nor optical. The transporter is far too expensive if you merely do compressed music streaming formats So remaining are the Squeezebox classic aka squeezebox 3. Or the new and all shiny squeezebox receiver. The latter has no display and though can only be controlled via network. That is to say via squeezebox controler which is a special remote with display to browse music collections from your easy chair. When deciding for a squeezebox receiver you could as well use an iphone or note/netbook to control squeezecenter which in turn controls the squeezebox receiver. The squeezebox classic has a display (bit small though) and an infrared remote like any other hifi unit would have. So it is really up to you. I'd choose a classic / sb3 for it has - infrared remote - vfd display (small) - spdif out optical and coaxial - reasonable dac You say you want to connect to a hifi. Well, then the boom is not for you. It has it's own speakers and amplifier. All products have rca analogue outputs.

[slim] SqueezePlay not pausing correctly?
Hi all, After 7.3 was release I upgraded my SqueezeCenter from SVN, and downloaded the latest nightly of SqueezePlay. For the first time ever I am able to play back using SqueezePlay as the player rather than having to use it to control an instance of SoftSqueeze. However, I'm seeing something odd when I pause playback. The audio stops, but after a while (can't be much more specific than that, cos I'm pausing it when I go away from my desk) the playback is resuming, but there's no audio. As a result the playlist advances even though I've put it into pause (by hitting Spacebar with SqueezePlay active). I *think* I was seeing similar behaviour using Squeezeplay to control SoftSqueeze, but wouldn't swear to it. Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Re: [slim] Streaming problem FIOS
Huh, that's pretty cool - I wasn't aware of that tool. I wonder why port 9000 is being blocked? Perhaps you have something else using that port. Do you use Vonage or anything like that? The fact that you could not get http://localhost:9000 to work implies that something on the machine is already using port 9000. A game? Not sure. Regarding static vs. dynamic IP - you may still have a dynamic IP given your description. It will change (at least it does for me on my Verizon DSL) if you turn the modem/router off and turn it back on - basically break the connection between your house and the telco. When the connection is reestablished, you will get a different IP. Since you dyndns set up, you don't need static IP. Which is good since it usually costs extra. I have a linksys router which supports dyndns. It's great to have and makes remote streaming much easier for me. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

Go back to NowPlaying, swipe right, you get to the Players screen, now you should see your new server under Music Sources. 4. Select the dummy server 5. Quit iPeng 6. Turn WiFi back on 7.

[slim] Deterioration of technical support
I knew it was inevitable when Logitech bought Slim Devices. Tech support would essentially disappear. I truly enjoyed the immediate and personal support offered by Slim Devices back when it was an independent company. My problems were addressed by helpful engineers, or logged as bug reports. Things got fixed rapidly and satisfactorily. Now? No f***ing way! I sent in a simple complaint about the new alignment of SqueezeNetwork menus, plus an issue about the SqueezeNetwork web page which preventes me from accessing Live365. Five days later I get a message that because I happen to live in Hong Kong, my issue is being redirected to Logitech Asia-Pacific tech support. Obviously no one even read my report. It has absoilutely NOTHING to do with my location. It has absolutely nothing to do with my hardware (which I bought in the USA, by the way). So instead of actually responding to my simple report, now time is wasted shuffling user reports around the globe, far far away from the engineers at Slim Devices who can so simply and easily respond to my report by checking the SqueezeNetwork web page. Likely I will wait another five days to get some sort of boilerplate cut-and-paste response. Want to bet the advice is: Uninstall and reinstall my SqueezeCenter software, reboot, flush my browser cache. I'll bet cold cash that's the reply I get. Bring back REAL service.

Yes, I occasionally have this problem too. Since most everything else is working pretty well now, it's a bit of a downer. I just have to carry the remote (duet SC) with me so I can hit next track. Otherwise it'll go quiet for 59 minutes. I have reported it before and eagerly await a fix. Win XP 7.3 and latest Duet firmware.

Re: [slim] Positive ReplayGain and Clipping
For those not tracking this bug closely, it looks like a server-side solution has been implemented, which is certainly a big improvement. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30316 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
