[SlimDevices: Beta] Adding new music, can no longer just browse Music Folder?
Version: 7.5.0 - r29204 @ Mon Nov 9 02:03:30 PST 2009 Operating system: Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Platform Architecture: 586 Perl Version: 5.10.0 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt To add one or two new tracks, I used to be able to just browse to them by viewing them in Music Folder. These would get added to the database, although the album art wasn't incorporated until a full rescan (fair enough). However this no longer seems to work. I can view and even play them in Music Folder but they are no longer added to the database as soon as I view them. Is this a consequence of the new code that detects changes to the library, making what I'm trying to do obsolete, or is this unintended behaviour?

[SlimDevices: Beta] Does 7.4 parse RadioTime OPML differently than 7.3.3?
Reason I ask - I have a RadioTime stream that works fine in 7.3.3 but won't work in 7.4. Error: No items found in playlist. The URL is: http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s89692partnerId=16 And you may find the content weird unless you share similar interests to mine. :-) I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but I found this through Internet Radio - Local and added it to my Favorites, I didn't go directly through RadioTime. It won't play in 7.4 regardless of if I play it from Favorites or through Internet Radio - Local. It should be noted that this is through two beta units (Radio and Touch) but also through desktop SqueezePlay. I've been putting off reporting this, I always think the my radio stream won't play complaint is so trivial, but given that it's been consistently like this for months and 7.4 is coming up I can't put it off any longer. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta, PQP1 - early beta), SBC (early beta), Squeezebox Radio (PB1 - early beta), Squeezebox Touch (late beta) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67732 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

For the record, and since - AFAICT - it appears that neither the Wiki (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay_On_Ubuntu_7.10) nor the README.linux file are up to date, I was able to get a functional build (of 7.3-4744) after having installed the following packages (and their dependencies): * build-essential * flex * bison * subversion * cramfsprogs * automake * fakeroot * libtool * libncurses5-dev * gettext * libssl-dev * libpng12-dev * libjpeg62-dev * libexpat1-dev * libreadline5-dev * libx11-dev * xorg-dev * portaudio19-dev I am running Kubuntu 8.04.2.

Any SB acting as a bridge will bridge the wireless network to the wired network - not the other way around. This means the SB is connected wirelessly and uses its wireless card to connect any devices attached to its wired port.

Should it be reasonably expected to work now, or do the developers want bug reports? It's never worked for me. I almost always get the Free Your Music screen and the startup sound, but usually it locks up at 100% CPU after that. Once or twice I did get a screen but it didn't look like it was talking to SC. I see SP generates logs - looking at these logs it looks like everything should work - SP even recognizes my connected player names.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SC 7.1 is HORRIBLE!!
goatcatcher;318938 Wrote: What that thread does show, however, is that the problem has existed for several months, since FW40, yet remains unaddressed. I'm a newbie here so perhaps it isn't my place to comment, and I appreciate this is beta software, but it seems strange that there have, presumably, been five point upgrades since v40 that have addressed various issues, such as gapless playback, but none has fixed such a fundamental issue as complete failure to playback. Umm, do you really think even a beta would be issued where the player wouldn't play? There is some testing. I've been on 7.1 for months now, Transporter included, updating every morning. Just once was there an issue - for about 3 days, the web interface wouldn't come up, but I just reverted back to the last working version. I've never had a complete playback failure. But it IS possible. Strictly speaking, 7.0.2 is beta, 7.1 is alpha. So yes, one nightly could stop it working - it's unreleased software made public for testing purposes. If you test it and it doesn't work, file a bug, this is the point of testing.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Upgrading TP FW 43, 45, Ethernet appears disconnected error
I first noticed this when upgrading from FW 40 - 43 and again from 43 - 45. When the player reboots after updating the firmware, I can't recall seeing the Logitech logo. The screen remains dark until a Ethernet appears disconnected error comes on. It's not too serious because the player comes up normally a few seconds later but it definitely should not be there and causes a little concern.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] irritating question
7.0 has been in testing, not unstable state for a week or so now. Unstable is the new 7.0.1. Other software projects would call 7.0 a release candidate rather than a beta at this point. And in regards to why do we have to wait so long - well, there are pretty massive changes. Everything in the web UI, scanning, SN integration, synch, plugins and of course the inclusion of the SBC and the SBR which has necessitated changes in SC from time to time. The SBC functionality has been largely sorted but the beta testers have only had their SBRs for a week or two now and there are some tricky SBC/SBR interactions when setting up the SBR which might be delaying things a bit. If you were to see the number of checkins you'd know the developers are working -feverishly- on it. Given that the Duet hardware is being manufactured now (the first batch may already be produced but might have been delayed by weather) the pressure to get 7.0 released must be pretty intense... -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner.exe not picking up tags
It's easy to change over to ID3v2.3 using Mp3tag, and you can do it on your whole collection in a few minutes. Follow this: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?Mp3tagGuide , set Mp3tag to display tag types. You can sort by tag types if you wish, this will cause all those with APE tags to be grouped together and you can do the subsequent operations on these files only - but this should work on files that don't have APE tags as well. Set Mp3tag to write only ID3v2.3 and to delete only APE tags (and ID3v1 while you're at it). Highlight the affected files and press the save icon. This writes all tags as ID3v2.3 if they don't already have these. You should see the tag types change if they didn't contain ID3v2.3 tags. Then press the delete tag key. It will then delete all APE tags, keeping the ID3v2.3 tags you just created. As we're doing mass retagging here, make a backup first in case things go wrong.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Rescan times - what's going on with Artwork Scan?
It used to be that SC7 scan times weren't much different than SS 6.5.4.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Latest SC7 build - settings page won't load
I wish I could tell you which build it is, but I can't load the settings page. It's the .deb available today. My home page seems to load (a little slowly) and display OK, but the browser indicates that the page is still loading by displaying Waiting for 192.168.1.8, a 3/4 complete progress bar, and a spinning page load icon. The settings page doesn't load at all, I get a new tab but nothing is displayed. I'm using Swiftweasel 2.0.0.11 - this is a CPU-optimized build of Firefox 2.0.0.11. Since this is a rare browser, I also used Firefox 2.0.0.8 32-bit and Firefox 2.0.0.11 64-bit, same results. The PC viewing the server is Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64, all updates installed, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2 GB RAM. The SC7 server PC is more moderately spec'd, AMD Duron 1.2 GHz, 512 MB RAM. The SC7 server is basically idle while (interestingly) the viewing PC is under light load as it tries to load the page. It's the same story on the SC7 server using Swiftweasel and Firefox trying to load localhost except the processor locks at 100% as it tries to view the page. Is there anything I can do to assist debugging? This behaviour survives an SC restart and a browser restart even after clearing cache. -- Mark Lanctot Sean Adams: So you mean, aside from the fact that Squeezebox does not do 96KHz, why doesn't it do 96KHz?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Static sound on 24bit/96kHz material
I'm not sure. Yes, RG is not an issue in your case, and having it in place in the file does nothing. But it does sound like the CPU is running out of cycles, so...not sure. However, it's not a bug that can be fixed without a drastic shift of CPU power to the server (which would entail extensive or total redesign of the way SS/SC works) or an upgrading of the CPU in the player, which will happen only with a new design. It's probably enough that the bug report is there, and if the player becomes powerful enough to handle RG and the spectrum screensaver simultaneously with 24/96 material, it will solve your issue provided it's indeed the same problem (and if it isn't, it should be a different bug report). -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41005 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Updated New Default skin
I hate to gang up on poor Michael, but I agree with what's being said here. With the older blue interface it looked really classy and simple. It's amazing how just a consistent, professional-looking interface can make things seem simple. The current interface looks more complicated even though the functionality and options are the same. It's the mix of colours, the mish-mash of various boxes, frames, shapes, buttons. It's more intimidating-looking, not quite as slick as the blue interface. And I guess I wasn't the only one thrown off by the whitespace when I first saw it! Indeed it does look like something didn't load, a cache issue or something. It looks pretty jarring against the background, not the slick blending in like the blue interface had. Don't mean to gang up on you here Michael, but the new interface just looks more complicated than the older blue one merely due to its appearance and blend of elements that were meant to enhance but end up being more busy visually, which leads to an unconscious impression that SC is complicated. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39957 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

When I have a single player on SC 7.0 and I switch it back to 6.5.4, SC 7.0 locks up and has to be restarted. Should I log this as a bug? -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Reproducible SC 7.0 crash
Additional info: a restart is not required, the web UI has to closed and re-opened. So it's only the web UI that locks up. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Playlists portable between 6.5.4 and 7.0?
Yeah, now that I think of it, on the 6.5.4 machine where the files are local, the music library is in /home/music/Music Library. On the 7.0 machine, the remote drive is mounted in /media/music/Music Library. I suppose if I gave the mount point the same name on the 7.0 machine (i.e. /home/music/Music Library) it should work. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] New Default skin
Two issues I have with the new skin, which is otherwise fantastic: - in the right-hand now playing frame, Bitrate is always cut off for me. Is it my screen resolution? I'm only running 1024X768. See screenshot. - when I put an item in now playing, if I delete it using the X icon, it stays there. It's actually gone though, when I reload the web page it goes away. I'm viewing this using SwiftWeasel (Firefox speed-optimized derivative) 2.0.0.7 on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 7.04. SqueezeCenter is: SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - 13909 - Debian - EN - utf8 Server IP address: 192.168.1.8 Perl Version: 5.8.8 i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3 It's on a brand-new Ubuntu 7.10 install, i386 architecture. +---+ |Filename: Screenshot-SqueezeCenter - Swiftweasel.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3570| +---+ -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] New Default skin
Whoops, sorry, I forget I'm using a crazy browser. But I'm getting inconsistent behaviour which is not reproducible for a bug report. I have two versions of Firefox - Firefox 32-bit (so that I can see flash) and Firefox 64-bit. Firefox 64 is version 2.0.0.6, Firefox 32 is 2.0.0.4. Initially the 32-bit rendered with the cut-off image and the 64-bit rendered fine. Then they were all fine for a few refreshes, even SwiftWeasel fixed itself. Now all of them are cut off again? I'm very confused and I'm not sure what to report. I'm thinking it may have something to do with fonts. All 3 browsers use different fonts for some reason. SwiftWeasel is the worst of them all, the developer has never got the fonts quite right. Another issue to post: it would be really nice if the initial SqueezeCenter setup didn't resize the browser window. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
