Re: [slim] lossless internet radio streaming in FLAC!
A word of warning - the suggested 48000 solution will makew Flac assume all streams from mplayer are 48kHz so that if you try to play a stream with 44.1kHz you will get speed problems. A proper solution would be to have mplayer send a WAV header so that sample rates are matched. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
Just adding my 2p. I had weird problems with my SB3 yesterday, with the music fading in and out, and pausing for a second or two then resuming. The player is in the other room and I could hear it but couldn't see the screen. Then it dawned on myrebuffering. It confused me, since I've NEVER heard rebuffering on any of my three players (all wireless), ever since release 5.4.1, and didn't recognise the problem at first. The first time I've ever experienced it is7.3.3. I'm running SC 7.3.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 x64 (headless) on a Quad Core Q9450 with 8GB RAM, so I'm pretty sure it's not down to the processor speed. My wireless signal strength (802.11g) is around 85%-90% too, with nothing else on the WLAN (and no other houses within 500 metres) so it's not the wifi either. It's only happened for a period of 20 minutes or so yesterday, never before and (touch wood) not since. But it's a bizarre coincidence that others are reporting it with 7.3.3, and that's my first experience too.

[slim] SQCenter 7.3.3, synced players
Hi, I recently upgraded to SqueezeCenter v7.3.3 and have now noticed that sync now seems to be broken. When I sync 2 players they start out of sync, it's not like they drift. If I stop both players and start again, sometimes several times, I can get them to play synched. It seems like the problem only is when starting to play. If they start in sync they do not drift. This occurs both with wired and wireless SB3s. Im running SQCenter on Debian 5. Any ideas to fix this?

[slim] gapless FLAC/PCM no longer works on SB1
I have an SB1 and an SB2, and I'm running 7.3.2. Ever since I got the SB1 six years ago, I've had gapless playback of FLAC files. But something changed recently, and I now get gaps between tracks on my SB1. The SB2 works fine. I'm not sure which version of SqueezeCenter introduced the problem, but it's been this way for a while. It's possible there's some config setting I can change, but I don't see one. Bitrate Limiting is set to No Limit (and in fact I don't even have LAME installed), so SqueezeCenter should be transcoding FLAC to PCM, not MP3. Yet, there is still a gap between tracks.

[slim] Squeezebox + Draytek router: No Internet radio
I've been without Internet radio for quite a while. Symptoms: Playing stations worked for only about a minute, after that the music stopped and a 'Connection timed out' error appeared. This happened with *every* station. Playing local music was no problem at all. (confirmed with the last stable server and firmware versions) Found out the cause today. My SB3's cannot communicate reliably with my Draytek Vigor 2900 router. When I switched the SB3's to manual IP configuration and changed the gateway IP to my Linux server (with ip forwarding enabled) instead of the router (which is the normal setup of course) everything suddenly started working perfectly. So when the packets travel over my server to the router to the internet and back all is well. When they travel directly over the router to the internet and back it bombs out. All other devices I have work well with my router, so I'm guessing this is a Squeezebox specific problem. The workaround is acceptable for me (the server is always on), but perhaps this helps someone.
