Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SoftSqueeze 3.5
I've just upgraded to SC7 and installed the 3.6 version of Softsqueeze that comes with it. I'm running this on OSX 10.5.2 and am getting the same distorted sound as reported by others - has anyone got this working on OSX/Leopard yet?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SoftSqueeze 3.5
Hi subagon, thanks for replying. Although I'm on a MacBook Pro I've got external speakers hooked up, and everything else sounds fine. Softsqueeze does sound "buzzy" as described by others. The server is running OSX 10.5.2 as well. I've tried completely unintalling Softsqueeze, and I've tried going back to version 3.4 (which someone else had reported as working OK), but everything sounds the same. Everything was fine before I went to SC7.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SoftSqueeze 3.5
I got it by installing from within SC7: SqueezeCenter > Extras > SoftSqueeze The latest version on Sourceforge seems to be 3.5. -- Zach Anthony Zach Anthony's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=707 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40442 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: 6.1b2 Track count bug
Since upgrading to 6.1b2 I've also had numerous duplications pop-up in my music list too. Sometimes its whole albums, sometimes its simply all (or most) of the songs within an album. I've got the July 17 nightly build running now and have seen no change in the problem. None of the tracks appear to be duplicated in iTunes. Something similar happened when I first upgraded to 6.0 but after deleting .m3u files in the music root it went away. oreillymj, how did you import the db into Access? I'd like to have a poke around in mine too to see if its the same problem you've reported. -- Zach Anthony ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: 6.1b2 Track count bug
oreillymj - thanks for the info on setting up a DSN, hadn't thought of that. Like Patrick I found that the file you linked to didn't install a SQLLite3 driver, but this older driver set does: http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/sqliteodbc-win32.zip. I'm using MSSQL and though I should be able to either setup the DSN or directly import using the supplied drivers, I keep getting a username/password error, even on a local copy of slimserversql.db. Prob an issue on my system, so I've given up for now - but at least I've got this far should I want to try again in future. Meanwhile I've done a complete reinstall of 6.1b2. Duplication seems to be at a minimum, but I might try one of the nightly builds based on what Patrick said. Thanks again. -- Zach Anthony ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Deleting favorites?
Is there a way to delete favorites other than returning to the playlist/item and using the right arrow to delete? All of my favorites which are based on playlists (all streams in this case) have become confused somehow: all show the same source and none of them that actually are favorites will let me delete using the method described above. I've rescanned the playlists numerous times but it hasn't fixed the problem. Favorites which are based on items under Internet Radio (e.g. a radioio.com stream) are note effected. I'm using the 6.2 nightly build from July 23. Also, a couple of feature suggestions: it would be nice to have some access to favorites in a menu (either in the web gui or the remote) so you could clear them, change their numbers, etc. It would also be good if when deleting favorites all subsequent favorites didn't shift up one number (e.g. delete fave 1 and fave 2 becomes fave 1, fave 3 becomes fave 2, etc.). And finally I'm not quite sure why you can add favorites beyond 9 - how do you press and hold '10'? -- Zach Anthony ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Deleting favorites?
Thanks for the help Dean. I've deleted all my faves and re-added, and they all work correctly now. With regard to favorites numbering and editing, perhaps the simplest change (from a UI perspective, anyway) would be to simply let the user select the fave number when adding a new item? If fave #1 had been previously deleted, the fave numbers for other items could just be retained, and when adding a new one, the user could choose from all empty faves, which would include 1. I suppose that in practice not many people would have more than 10 faves anyway, so maybe my last point is effectively a non-issue.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Problem scanning iTunes playlists
I've just installed the latest nightly build (9/1) in the hopes that it would solve a problem I've had for some time - my iTunes playlists are not showing up - but the problem persists. No matter how many times I rescan (normal and playlists only), clear the db cache, reinstall, etc. my iTunes playlists just won't appear - with one exception. I've done some testing today and at one point my iTunes playlists DID finally show up. The steps I followed were as follows: 1) Manually delete the .db file. 2) Start the server and allow it to start indexing. 3) Stop the server. 4) Start the server from the command line (with --d_itunes so I could observe). 5) Start a playlists only rescan from the web UI. As I said above, this did result in my iTunes playlists - plus all other non-iTunes playlists - being shown. HOWEVER as soon as I initiated a rescan of new and changed form the web UI, the iTunes playlists disappeared again. (I've tested the playlists from my Squeezebox and they do work, though most are full of empty tracks.) Somes of my iTunes playlists are quite large, on the order of 15,000 songs, but why would the above steps work and not a regular rescan? Some further details: -My music is contained in a directory that is outside the standard Windows location for the iTunes library (i.e. not in My Music). -I have a separate playlists folder containing playlists I've created manually; this is in addition to the iTunes playlists which are found in the normal place (i.e. in the same place as iTunes Music Library.xml). Debug extract: When I load the server with --d_itunes enabled it simply repeats the following: -- 2005-09-01 14:21:34.9432 iTunes: attempting to locate iTunes Music Library.xml 2005-09-01 14:21:47.0141 iTunes: found My Music here: D:\Data\Zach\My Music for D:\Data\Zach\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml 2005-09-01 14:21:47.0297 iTunes: found path via Windows registry at: D:\Data\Zac h\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml -- Hope that's enough to start the ball rolling, please let me know what other info I can send. I'm not too familiar with the full set of debug options, so if further logs are needed please specify the exact syntax for the command line.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Problem scanning iTunes playlists
Hiya, After some research here in the forums I discovered my actual problems: 1) the 'Use iTunes' setting wasn't enabled (first page of Server Settings) and 2) the setting wasn't even available to enable/disable due to some sort of confusion in the Server (I think related to invalid settings in the iTunes Music Folder and .XML location settings at some point). I've just been searching for the exact post that helped me to resolve my problem, but I can't seem to find it. I *think* the solution was basically to set the 'Find iTunes Library Automatically' to 'Specify iTunes Library Locations' (and then set the locations accordingly), then stop the server, clear the .db file out of the cache folder, and restart. Once I restarted I saw the 'Use iTunes' setting and was able to enable it. A subsequent rescan picked up my iTunes settings. If the above doesn't work, have a search through the forums to look for the definitive answer. -- Zach Anthony ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
