Ah well, it'll come back eventually. FWIW, another data point: The second SB2 that wouldn't connect yesterday eventually went dark and sat like that overnight. This morning I started up the 2nd SlimServer and SB2 #2 immediately connected, installed the latest firmware, rebooted and then reconnected to SlimServer #2. So now I have SB2 #1 connected to SlimServer #1 and SB2 #2 connected to SlimServer #2. Which is OK for now - I just can't sync them. Since SB2 #2 is in my home office, I'm listening to it right now. :) I'm finding a couple minor bugs in way the library was scanned, but other than that, SlimServer is working nicely. The fact that I have exactly the number of tracks in both r7498 and r8332 is reassuring. Album and artist counts differ only slightly. The Browse Artist > Gallery view is very nice. I want to thank you for that. Could just use better sorting control. What would be cool would be interactive sort controls here and in the other browse modes instead of using server prefs. A drop down box for sorting placed next to the new list/gallery icon might be nice. I'm not sure how exactly you'd populate the box - what sort orders would cover everyone's needs - nor if it could be the same for all the browse modes. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25369 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: SB1's struggling to keep up
More tuning has happend to 6.5 than 6.3, so I would hope 6.5 will be able to support SB1s well once it is stable. If you find a problem on 6.5 please enable the following and report what you see in the server log: 1) go to Server & Network Health 2) enable performance monitoring 3) go to Server Statistics. This displays measurements of various internal server performance figures. 4) at the bottom of the page, enter 0.5 in the high thresholds box next to "Set All" and then press "Set All" This creates an entry in the log if any of the measurements on the page exceeds 0.5 seconds. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23641 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Re: SB1's struggling to keep up
One thing that hasn't been discussed (if I've seen it right): FLAC isn't supported natively in SB1. It therefore has to be transcoded to WAV (double the bandwidth) or MP3 (poorer quality). I guess the first is the case. And wireless can't keep up with the bandwith needed. If you limit to 320kbps it will be transcoded to MP3 and might fix your issues. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the StringEditor Plugin (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Does anyone else notice this behavior? I couldn't find a bug report on it. Also, I'm noticing that when adding to playlist when browsing by folder, it still puts them into the playlist out of order. I name my files thusly: track# - artist - song.filetype, so it should be sorting by tracknumber - it doesn't (6.3 does sort correctly, however).

I guess I've been spoiled by Browse Artwork with the sorting pref to give artist/year/album order.

Yes, Windows (NT, 2000, XP, Server) supports binding multiple IP addresses to a single interface/card without a problem. Pretty easy to do as well. > makes little sense to me either.

Seems something gets "stuck" somewhere. Looking through the SlimServer prefs file I don't see anything about player state that appears to persist across SlimServer startups, so it seems to be more with the players. I can restart them as well with no improvement in the situation. I just fired up the r7498 server after having it shutdown for about 90 minuetes and one SB2 connected, while the other just sits at "Connecting to SlimServer..." Ah well, it'll come back eventually. If this problem gets sorted (I don't think Richard should have much problem fixing it) I think I'm going to want to run two instances of SlimServer anyway in the future for two distinct libraries that I have. And maybe SlimServer 6.6(?) will give us the ability to have multiple libraries. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25369 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
