Can someone give me a step by step guide to getting SqueezePlay to play audio (rather than just control an instance of SoftSqueeze)? If I go the main menu and select 'Test Decode' I can get it to play the various tones. If I go into 'Settings' -> 'Advanced' -> TEST_PLAYBACK I get two options: x.x.x.x (the ip.address of my server) my.server.name (the name of the same server) If I press 'Right' on the IP address, it remains in this menu. If I press 'Right' on the server name it goes back up to the 'Advanced' menu. Is the fact that I'm running an instance of SoftSqueeze on the same machine as SqueezePlay causing problems?

If I do this on Squeezeplay, it give me two choices. The first is the IP address of my music server, the other is the name of my music server (the same machine). If I select the IP address, nothing appears to happen (after a few seconds it goes back to the 'Now Playing' screen). If I select the server name, it immediately goes back to the 'Advanced' settings menu. The instance of SqueezePlay is 'remote' from the server. However, I can run SoftSqueeze without any problem from the same location as I'm trying to run SqueezePlay. Any ideas?

I'm a software engineer, and have developed a very 'keyboard centric' way of working. I try to avoid having to touch the mouse if I can avoid it, it just slows me down. With SqueezePlay controlling the SoftSqueeze instance no my PC, it's very simple to ALT-TAB to SqueezePlay, use the keyboard to navigate and select some more music, change volume etc. I can't do a lot of that with the keyboard alone using SoftSqueeze, and virtually none of it using the web interface.

I had > a bunch of lua files left behind, and it seems if those are inconsistent > things don't work, notably audio playback. Ok. Just trying now. Here's what I did: 1. Shutdown SoftSqueeze 2. Shutdown SqueezePlay 3. Uninstall SqueezePlay 4. Clear out the install folder (there were a few 'settings.lua' files, and the log files in the top directory) 5. Download the latest SqueezePlay (dated 29th Oct, 01:07) 6. Install this 7. Run it 8. Hold down 'left cursor' to get to the top menu 9. Go to 'Settings->Music Source->Other server' 10. Enter my IP address 11. It goes back to the 'Music Source' menu, with the name of my server in there 12. Go to this server, and use the right cursor to select it. All I get is the noise that implies that I'm doing something wrong. I've got further than this before though I'm sure. 13. Now, if I go up to the top and do 'Select player' all I get is the SB2 in my house 14. Go into 'Settings->Advanced->Audio Playback' and turn it on. 15. Back to the top level and into 'Choose Player'. Still only see the SB2 in my house. No evidence through my firewall logs of any packets being dropped. Any thoughts? It's connected to the server enough to be able to browse my music. Could it be because the server already knows about the instance of SoftSqueeze in the same remote location?

Ok, I've now got a 'SqueezePlay' item listed in the players. However, if I try to select this and go to my server, it tries to connect for a while, then comes up with 'Problem Connecting'. Around the time it gives up, my firewall logs the following packet: Oct 30 10:14:11 gently kernel: FWIn: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=82.5.225.118 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=3483 DPT=3483 LEN=24 This appears to be a UDP broadcast going out from port 3483 on eth0 (the interface that connects to my cable modem).

[SlimDevices: Beta] Changing music path had no effect
Hi, I've just been experimenting with tags on some of my files, and wanted to limit my server to just a single album. So I changed the music server path through the web interface, and did a full re-scan (again from the web interface). It still seemed to be picking up all my albums, and on further investigation I found that the slimserver.conf hadn't been updated with the new setting. I have the 'Prefs Write Interval' set to zero, which implies that preference changes should be written to disk immediately. This is running from a day or so old SVN from the 6.5 branch. I got round it by stopping the server and manually editing the config file, but I thought someone might be interested. Could it be a permissions problem with the config file? It's only writable by the owner (root), so I guess this could explain it? Thanks Andy ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Yes, this is Linux. I'll change the ownership and see if that helps. I may well have run scanner.pl as root at some time in the past.

Ok, in that case I'll just re-rip the ones I want gapless to FLAC (assuming that side works when I test it tonight!) No sense re-ripping into MP3. If I'm gonna re-rip, I may as well do it properly.

Thanks for that Phil and Paulster. Any recommendations on getting DVDs ripped such that they'll play on Popcorn Hour? Would be nice if I could maintain any 5.1 soundtrack.

How do you strip this out? Is this easily playable on a number of players? My portable device is a Cowon X7. There is no mention of MKV files on its spec page: http://www.cowonglobal.com/product_wide/COWONX7/product_page_4.php I tend to use MPlayer to drop the resolution down for playing on the portable player. I wonder if this will handle converting MKV files? > The players can also downmix 5.1 to stereo (with the exception of Dolby > Digital TrueHD tracks which it doesn't have a license for and so can > only pass through unaltered) so if you have a room with only stereo > capability then you just choose downmix on that particular player. Again, I'd need to check whether PC based players could do this downmixing, and also whether the Cowon can do it. I'd ideally like to have one 'source' file on the NAS (ths ISO) that I can create the different versions from (ideally automatically if possible). Thanks for the advice so far.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Playing Last.fm
Hi, Recently I've noticed my last.fm channels don't work. I've done a bit of digging today, and if I use SqueezePlay to go into My Apps -> Last.fm -> Popular Tags -> Rock (for example) it says 'Buy a subscription at ...' I have a last.fm subscription, and as far as I can tell its details are entered into both my local server and mysqueezebox.com. The player concerned is set to scrobble to the appropriate account (we have two, but only one of them has a subscription). Can anyone offer any advice on getting this to work?
