Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] timed radio listening
You could use the alarm function. Be sure that the stations you wanted are in your Favorites list, and then have the alarms trigger that station at the desired time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.8 official release plans?
I can see why someone would want 7.8 to be an official release, but there's a high likelihood that that won't happen. So if there's something you really like in 7.8, why not just download the current 7.8 (which is very stable) and run that? Save a copy of the download so you can always go back to it if you need to reinstall or install it on a different computer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Lms 7.8?
1. It depends on what version LMS and firmware you are running now. The Boom and Receiver firmware haven't been updated for a long time, so those won't change unless you're running a really old LMS. It looks like the Controller firmware is changed from 7.7.2 to 7.8.0, but not the Radio. You can see which versions of firmware go with which versions of LMS here: http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/. Note that the names are as follows: baby = Radio fab4 = Touch jive = Controller receiver = Receiver squeezebox2 = SB2 and SB3 squeezebox = SB (aka SB1) 2.

Before you get too far with this it may be a good idea to find out at what level the Sony is declaring the file type as unsupported. That is, is the Sony looking at the contents of the file, or only the name? If it's the latter, then I don't think what you're proposing will work. Here's a test you can do. Take a copy of a WAV file, rename it to have a .flac extension, and put it in your music library. Then try to play it with the Sony. If the Sony won't play it then you're unlikely to have much luck with the server-side decoding either, because the Sony will still be looking at the FLAC files, not knowing that they will be served up as something else. And if you want to see a picture of what the LMS settings should look like to send PCM from the server, take a look at section 1.6 of soundcheck's TT 3.0 blog article: http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/11/touch-toolbox-30.html#more aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96041 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Yeah, the debian repo for SBS isn't up to date. You can go to http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/ to download the 7.6.1 deb package. Then install via: sudo dpkg --install [path and filename to deb file] It's a couple more steps, but it works. One thing I recommend is stopping your current SBS before installing 7.6.1. For some reason, a couple times recently when I've installed semi-manually like this the 7.6.1 SBS wouldn't start because the 'stop' command for the existing SBS didn't execute correctly because the SBS pid was incorrect. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89216 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] What's happening with LMS?
We can debate what constitutes "mass market", but I would say that neither the current SB line or even a Touch that is fully capable of running without an external is destined for the mass market. I was just at my massage therapist, and here's the mass-market Logitech music device she was using: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/speakers-audio/ipod-mp3-speakers/devices/4320 Alternatively, for people who want to hear through a better audio system there are endless mass-market iPod docks that connect to stereo or A/V systems. People can argue that Linux or SBS or client-server architectures are for "geeks", but if that's the case then so are lossless codecs, decent tagging, etc. And many companies are successful catering to these geeks.

Squeezeplay != SBS One is the client, the other is the server. The Touch, Radio, and Controller have both. On Windows, OSX, and *nix computers they are separate. You want a tactile touch interface for Windows? Don't look to the server (SBS) for a client function, look to Squeezeplay. Squeezeplay works fine on the touchscreen of my Nokia N800.

The slimproto language that SBs use has been "opened up" for years, and someone with the programming skills and interest could write a SB frontend using that software.

It is possible to install a beta on Vortexbox, but if you're not sure how to do it then you may as well wait for the official release. This instance of updating mysb.com before the SBS release is very unusual for them. I suspect they rushed 7.5.4 to mysb.com to resolve connectivity issues that people were having (and complaining about), and underestimated the time it would take to iron out remaining issues with 7.5.4 that are specific to SBS. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86474 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

I think the answer to "when will 7.5.4 be released?" is when the devs think it's ready. Previously they indicated it would be out the week of March 28, but obviously they ran into some unexpected problems. Until then, if you want to be happier, install the 7.5.4 beta. Even though it's not final, it is stable, and it will eliminate the firmware switching when you go back and forth between SBS and mysqueezebox.com.

My guess is that the majority -- or at least a significant minority -- of folks who use SBS systems have music libraries tagged in various languages, and use players and software that get their metadata from tags instead of from filenames and foldernames. Like you, I have a lot of music that's not in English, including a fair bit of Spanish, Portuguese, and French. And the names of tracks, artists, and albums are all displayed exactly as they are meant to be, because all my audio software (SBS, Rockbox on Sansa, and iTunes on iPod touch) uses the tags. tamanaco;623540 Wrote: > Ask yourselves... how would you feel if the MusicIP mixes with SBS did > not support the letters a, e, i, o, u.

Actually, MiP playlist generation is important enough to me that I would rename the files and playlists in that situation, as long as (1) I could use incorrect-but-still-recognizable substitutes for the unsupported letters in the file_names_ (such as á in place of a, ë in place of e, ô in place of o, etc), and (2) the tags still showed the correct a, e, i, o and u.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] MusicIP and foreign characters... Here I go again.
I hear you, too. I have quite a few playlists, but most of them created since I adopted the unaccented-only approach to folder/file naming, so there was no issue with those. For the older ones I don't remember whether I changed the paths manually or used a script with the 'tr' operator. All my playlists were pretty much in one place, but I can see how it would be a much bigger job for you, as your playlists are more spread around and you use the exact same playlists for completely different devices. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86355 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

No, I'm not suggesting that you do anything whatsoever to your tags. I am suggesting that you consider one additional step to your current process (which would be applied retroactively to existing rips). 1) rip and transcode your CDs exactly as you're doing now, using the correctly accented characters in the tags. Let dBpoweramp write the accented characters to the filenames and/or directory names. 2) use mp3tag to batch rename only the filenames and foldernames to un-accented Latin characters. For existing rips, only (2) applies. Done correctly -- which isn't hard -- it doesn't change the tags at all. Btw, my reference to question marks, colons, and so forth was not because I don't understand you're talking about acutes, graves, circumflexes, and umlauts. I was merely trying to point out that in many cases it is impossible to have a file or folder name render the title of a track or album perfectly. It's a compromise imposed by the filesystems. And you are already making that deviation from the "correct" naming of your files and folders. What I am proposing is a compromise imposed by a bug in MiP or the SBS plugin. Ideally one wouldn't have to make such compromises, and I agree any bug should be fixed. But in the meantime there is a simple workaround available, and it is easy to revert to accented file and folder names once the bug is fixed. (Admittedly, I'm not aware of any such workaround for Chinese, Korean, Burmese, etc. -- at least not a simple one.) I am also a purist about correct tags, including accents. And I'd like to have the file names and folder names correct. But given the current choice between having correctly accented folder/file names and being able to generate MiP mixes, the latter wins every time for me. YMMV. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86355 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner Problem
Yes, if it is a Linux/Unix system. In *nix a dot at the beginning of a filename or directory name means it is a hidden file or directory, and the scanner will not scan it. OSX is based on Unix, but I don't know if it would do the same thing. I imagine that if you hid a file or directory on Windows (which uses a different method for hiding files) the scanner wouldn't go there either, although I haven't tested that. A common workaround is to leave the dots off the beginning of file and directory names, but preserve them in the tags. Everything will still look right in SBS because SBS generally uses the tags to present track/album/artist info, not the file or directory names. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85719 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

As promised/threatened I'm back with details. I also looked at your suspected reasons in 'post #30 of this thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=565065#post565065), and I would say that your #1 and #2 describe my situation pretty well. Ben mentioned that at this stage he was focusing on re-ordering, and fortunately that alone will get me most of the way to where I want to go. Looking at my first pass at customizing menus with 7.6 I really haven't changed that much yet. Here are the un-customized (or semi-customized, since I do control what appears on the Home menu) in 7.5.1: SBC1: NP My Music: artists / albums / genres / years / new music / random mix / music folder / playlists / dynamic playlists / search / switch library Extras: other players / SDT / The Sync / SPC My Apps: AccuRadio / BBC / Last.fm / LMA / Live365 / Napster / Odeo / Pandora / Podcast Player / RadioTime / Rhapsody / SHOUTcast / Slacker / SomaFM / Sounds & Effects / radioio Favorites: as per my choice Napster Pandora Turn On Choose Player Search Settings: shuffle / repeat / spicefly / alarm clock / audio / home menu / image viewer / screen / sleep / SB name / sync / advanced Touch: My Music SD card Internet Radio: NPR Radio > list of shows (because of an applet???) Extras: other players / SDT / The Sync / SPC / Custom Clock / My Apps Favorites Napster Pandora Settings Choose Player And here is a more customized (still a work in progress) SBC: NP My Music: artists / albums / new music / playlists / Dyn Playlists / genres / years / random mix / music folder / search / switch library Favorites Napster Pandora Extras: The Sync / SDT / SPC / Other players My Apps Search Settings Choose Player Turn On So not that different at all. At least not yet. I've moved Favorites, Napster, and Pandora up in the Home menu, and re-ordered the My Music and Extras sub-menus to put the things I use more often at the top. I've put another thing I use often (Turn On/Off) at the bottom of the Home menu to take advantage of a quick, blind spin-and-stop to get there. Later on I may move Choose Player to that last space, but definitely it's a waste (for me) to have Settings sitting there at the end. And I'll probably move/hide some things in Settings to make things more streamlined for me. Being able to re-order MyApps would be a nice treat.

erland;566236 Wrote: > rcampbel3 and aubuti, just out of interest to understand the needs a bit > better. Do you know exactly which customizations you like to do with > this new functionality ? I'll come back with details about how I would customize menus (and what I think is clumsy about SP's defaults), but my main motivations are: 1) satisfying a knowledgeable user (me) who wants easy access to all of the things "under the hood" and a novice user (my wife) who wants easy access to only a few most-used things, and keep the rest out of the way. Keeping the rest out of the way became more difficult since 7.4.0 where some items now have to be either on the Home menu or nowhere at all. The novice user also wants placement of menu items to be consistent and predictable (ie, don't re-order items 1-8 just because you add item 9), which I think has been a problem with 7.4 and 7.5 (although I don't recall the specific examples). 2) both users like the idea of putting most used menu items at the top of the menu list, roughly in order of frequency of use. The one exception to this is putting a frequently-used item at the _bottom_ of the list, so that you can scroll to it fast and it stops/pauses before wrapping around to the top of the list. Pre-7.4 this was "Turn off " and that was good, although I might prefer to put "Choose Player" there instead. I would apply the same approach to some sub-menus as well. 3) group similar things together. My main example here is the two "apps" I put on the main menu: Napster and Pandora. Sure, they're not the same thing, but having them separated from each other by "other stuff" such as "Extras" or "Choose Player" or "My Apps" is just a needless pain. Like I said, I'll post back later tonight comparing my un-customized 7.5.1 menu with my first attempts at customizing using 7.6.0, which will help illustrate the points. So far I've mostly thought about re-ordering the Home menu, and not about sub-menus or hiding menus, which I wasn't expecting would be coming any time soon. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80658 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

I'm one of those who has been pleading (whingeing?) for this feature ever since 7.4.0 came out. So many thanks for giving it your attention. I just had my first go with it on an SBC and I like it, including doing things via the CM. Figuring out which sub-menus can and cannot be re-ordered takes a little experimentation and I am sure in its present state it would be confusing to a lot of users in that respect. Of course, the ideal is for all of them to be customizable. I'll also put in a plug for some kind of mechanism for easy copying of menu settings from one device to another.

I have the "Raising Sand" album (FLAC) tagged as ARTIST=Alison Krauss ARTIST=Robert Plant ARTISTSORT=Krauss, Alison;Plant, Robert COMPILATION=0 In SBS I have album sort order set to Artist, Year, Album. When browsing by album in SBS 7.4.1 the album appears with Alison Krauss albums. When browsing by artist it appears under Alison Krauss, and again under Robert Plant. In 7.5-embedded when browsing by album it appears under Various Artists, and when I drill down it reports "Compilation: Yes". When browsing by artist it appears only under Alison Krauss, and not under Robert Plant. At present I don't have ALBUMARTIST sent, but I get the same results in 7.5-embedded if I set AA to "Alison Krauss and Robert Plant". Is this a 7.5 bug or intended behavior?

[SlimDevices: Beta] embedded r29836 not following symlinks?
I just updated to the latest nightly embedded 7.5.0 (r29836) and it's not scanning all of my music files. Either it doesn't like my 401 MP3 files, or it doesn't like following the symlink from my FLAC library to find them. It is finding all of my 5000+ FLACs. I noticed with r29767 (Jan 12) that the initial automatic rescan did not pick up the symlink'd MP3s and that I had to do a separate "new and changed" scan to pick up those tracks and the scan finds them as "new", but with r29836 even that doesn't work. (NB: I am using MusicIP.) Unfortunately all of my MP3s are in the symlink'd directory, so it isn't easy for me to tell whether the source of the problem is being MP3s or the symlink, although somehow I suspect the latter. Interestingly, the first line on the scan report in the web ui is "Remove deleted files (401 of 401)", so somehow it thinks the MP3s are deleted, even when it never picks them up in the first place. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74286 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Like Michael said, the embedded branch also works for normal servers running FatSBS. The main difference is that embedded branch uses SQLite, although MySQL remains an option (that apparently isn't working for at least some users, maybe all). So you can run the 7.5.0 embedded branch, you just need to download it from a different place. See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71768.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Getting 7.4.x and 7.5.0 to play nicely together
I must be overlooking something really basic, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. During 7.4.0 development, I ran 7.3.3 on my "production" server and 7.4.0 beta on a virtual machine running on the same physical server. It worked great: I had a couple SBs in my "test sandbox" connected to 7.4.0 while most of the house, including 2 SBCs, stayed with 7.3.3 and related firmware. If I wanted I could switch the music source on those players to the vm running 7.4.0, but I had to initiate that change. Now I am trying to do the same thing with 7.4.1 and 7.5.0, but the SBCs and players are acting up. As soon as I start the 7.5 SBS all of my SBCs want to upgrade to the firmware that corresponds to 7.5.x, even though they are controlling SBs that are connected to the 7.4 server. When I try to browse my music library I get a spinny while it tries to connect to the 7.5 box, then tries the 7.4.1 box, then back to 7.5. It's nuts. How can I keep the SBCs and SBs from trying to jump ship from 7.4 to 7.5? I think some of the SBs are trying to migrate to the 7.5 server as well, although I still need to confirm that.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Help/Advice V7.4 on Ubuntu
I've been using 7.4 under Ubuntu 8.10 for a while and it is pretty stable. There was a fairly big problem in August when big changes were made to the SBC user interface, especially for a lot of people who didn't realize they were running alpha/beta software. All that seems to have settled down now. One potential 'gotcha' is that SC 7.4 now runs under username 'squeezeboxserver' (Squeezebox Server, or SbS, is the new name for SC) instead of username 'squeezecenter'. At least that's the case for *nix systems, I don't know about Windows or MacOS. The .deb package *should* take care of creating the new user account and setting up the appropriate /var/log/squeezeboxserver/ and /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/ directories, as well as installing a new startup script for SBS. You may well also need to change file and folder ownership for your playlists, which need to be writeable by user 'squeezeboxserver'. When they first rolled out these changes it was recommended to uninstall the existing SC before installing a clean SBS. I don't know if that's still the case for new upgrades to 7.4, but subsequent updates from the nightlies have been smooth. I don't know what the plans are regarding putting 7.4 into testing repo before putting it in the stable repo. If you want to install 7.4 today, change your sources.list to unstable main. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68264 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

You can find the existing wallpaper files on the SBC in /usr/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/wallpaper/. Grab the old files from there in a 7.3 installation, or anywhere else you can find them. Then copy them to anywhere your SC can read, preferably not somewhere that will be overwritten with new SBC firmware or SBS software; I use my /home/foo directory on the SC server. Use the Customize Controller plugin to point SC to that location for additional wallpaper and voila.

I think you choose a good ordering in two steps: first decide what things belong on the Home menu, and second, decide what order makes sense. The functionality for the first of these currently exists on all players, but the latter only exists on the older players (SB/SB2/SB3/Boom). And if you do it right (ie, in consultation with family members) they say "thank you" when things aren't the way they used to be.

But they will change when I put 7.4 on our main server the day that SqueezeNetwork goes to 7.4, and also add the Touch and Radio to the main server. Being able to re-order the home menu would go a long way toward making the transition easier for a casual user.

Just curious: if the first Pandora menu is "Your Stations," how would you get to the other Pandora options, such as creating a new station, genre stations, or account settings? -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67776 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

I guess the Home menu comes from > SN? How does that work if you're not connected to SN? Yes, I only see it on SN for the older players as well. And on the older players the SC home menu is re-ordered from SC, not SN. No re-order options on SN or SC for either Touch or Radio. And nothing anywhere for SBC either. I had always assumed that the home menu always came from whichever server you were connected to, and that unless you explicitly exited SC, the SC-defined menu would prevail. But that's just my guess. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67843 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

But one of the things that made me think again about re-ordering the SC home menu was seeing how re-ordering *is* supported on test.sn.com.

[SlimDevices: Beta] re-ordering home menu on SBC (and Touch & Radio)?
Sorry if I've missed something here, but is there any progress on supporting user-defined ordering of items on the home menu on the SqueezeOS-based players (SBC/Touch/Radio/SqueezePlay)? I can't find the option anywhere, but I also suspect that things have moved ahead since 'this post last year' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=300161#post300161). I really like most of what has been done on the new SBC ui, but for other family members it would really help to be able to change the order of items in the home menu. Selecting which items go in the home menu gets me part way there, but customizing the order as well would be a huge help. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67843 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Placement of AppGalery-menu on SBC

But it's not permanent, is it? At least with r7485 the user can go to Settings > Home Menu and select/de-select App Gallery. However, if App Gallery is removed from the SBC home menu then it doesn't seem to appear under Settings or anywhere else. In other words, the user has to restore it to the Home Menu in order to regain access to App Gallery. I can see the logic of having App Gallery default to being on the Home Menu, to increase user awareness of the possibilities. Afterward the user can remove it from the home menu, although I think it would be better if removing it from the home menu would shift it to the Settings menu, rather than disappearing it completely. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67740 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

The correct tag is ARTISTSORT, not ARTISTSORTORDER. Try changing it and see if it helps. It looks like something stranger is going on, but it's worth fixing this first to see if it solves the problem. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66019 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Are you sure you don't simply need to re-enter your Sirius credentials on SC and/or SqueezeNetwork? And if Sirius doesn't keep them, then they must be in a prefs file on your local computer, so you can restore them from a backup. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65677 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Then you probably know that MySQL been the slimserver/SC database for less than 3 years. Before that it was . . . SQLite.
