Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Missing album art in recent build
Any news on this. You cannot use a drive letter when it is run as a service and that would be a very NORMAl way to do it. UNC is a much better way, overall, than old school drive letters, anyway. It is portable accross machines and doesn't require complete consistency in setup - which drive letters do. I've voted too... Please prioritize it higher.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner changes in 7.4
OK, spoke a bit too soon. A few odd things: 1) Scanning reported that it was complete. Shut down SbS and restarted. SbS reported that it was rescanning but it wasn't. No scanner.exe was running or was started. Hitting the abort option caused it to report the completion time that it had reported previously. 2) There was nothing after the artwork import. There used to be some cleanup/consolidation/optimization tasks that would run and be reported previously. 3) Many/most albums are not reported properly in the album list. They are listed multiple times. Looking into the details some tracks seem to be listed under the album and also again by themselves - leading to 2 album entries. These are single artist albums and do not have any known non-ascii characters in anything. 4) Even though the MusicIP import reported almost the entire library being pulled in (mixable only mode) no albums or tracks seem to be mixable (no M anywhere). 5) I does seem like most of the artwork scanned correctly. Previous versions had many, many covers missing. Should some/all of these be added as bugs now? Is there any additional logging that you would like to see first?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Windows installer changes in tomorrow's build
Widnows XP MCE SP3 Attempting to run SbS as a service with a named user account. I need to use a named user id/password to reference the external NAS that I have the music files on. If I use the CP to set the server to start at system startup and enter the user id and password, when I start SbS it creates the service but it uses the system account. If I have previously set the SbS to start at login (and started/stopped SbS) so that the service was deleted it creates it as system. If it was previously setup (from starting it when set to start at system startup) then the user id and password are correctly setup in the windows service area (confirmed by starting/stopping SbS) then starting the SbS from the control panel app (with the user ID and password set and applied) it changes the service to be a system service. It is still taking about 1 minute for the CP to start up (actually for the splash screen to start showing).

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Windows installer changes in tomorrow's build
mherger;434226 Wrote: I'm an advanced user so I would also like the opportunity to setup the start mode to be system start and to enter the user id and password. Sure. But as you say: you're an advanced user. The new customer who does an initial install usually doesn't even know about this feature (or that he wants it...). that the cp had also reported scanning 2 albums (the sample ones in the random windows directory). This is a very interesting point. What you consider the random windows directory is (according to MS guidelines) the place where music should go on a Windows system. But nobody seems to be following MS directions... 2 albums). The only way I could get SbS to use the unc paths was to use the web ui settings page. You mean you were not able to browse them using the Windows folder selector dialog? Along the way I noticed the multiple SbS processes running with differnt user IDs when saving from the SbS CP. This should be fixed now. I also, at one point, noticed that I had about 6 scanner.exe processes running. I manually Must be another bug. 5) I don't think that is the case. I had changed the mode/user and restarted it. It was running under the other user. When I saved again Whatever happened there, please give it another try. The restart and startup behaviour setting should be handled much better now. Most of this is user feedback on the install ease of use, etc. so I'm not planning on filing any bugs (unless you tell me to). Please do so for the mulitiple scanner issue. Michael Aggeed to the advanced user point - why I mentioned it. However, there are 2 different kinds of advanced users - one who knows Squeeze* products and one who knows Windows/other OS lines. Even the first time I installed SlimServer I would have known that I would have wanted it to run as a Windows Service. It doesn't matter too much as long as the actual SbS process is not auto-started by the install. Then it just gets in the way and makes things more complicated. In fact, if the flow is: 1) final install screen with a checkbox to start the control panel 2) Hitting the Finish button with the checkbox checked. 3) Ending the install process and starting up the SbS CP process with the initial screen (and probably the squeezetray.exe as well?). 4) Entering the basic information. 5) The full SbS CP screen comes up and allows the user to modify settings. At least I think that this is what I heard you state it was going to do. The only suggestion I'd have with this is that I'd move the initial screen to the first sheet/tab of the control panel and not have 2 UIs/programs. The 2 programs is a bit complicated/confusing to the user. They would never have to go to the other tabs since you can start/stop from the first/basic screen so they shouldn't have to deal with the complexity. Another thought would be to have an advanced button if you still want to have 2 UIs but then I'd also always have 2 UIs - consistency is important. On the music location - agreed that it is the Windows place to put them but other things put stuff there so it isn't clean. Also, the recommended location changes over time and I just plain have difficulty in finding them. Look at how many recommended places there are currently for downloads, too. Between public, current user, different user, etc. I get lost. Plus I'm using a NAS for music storage (something that will become more and more common, I think). It is a great default, but quite often not used by a large percentage of people. On the UNC paths - In the SbS CP I could browse and pick the unc path. I could save it and load it back up again in the SbS CP. However, the actual SbS didn't see it and still was trying to use c:\... instead. This was after several restarts of both SbS CP AND SbS. The only conclusion that I could come to was that they were looking in different places for the location. I wasn't able to reproduce the multiple scanner issue this weekend - I think that it was most likely a result of some of the other things going on. When I do some new install and upgrade testing I'll keep an eye out for them again. -- dwilliams01 dwilliams01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64497 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Control Panel (Windows) issues - please report
Wow! What a difference with today's install. The CP came up (before the install reached the finished screen, which is a bit unexpected). I could navigate through it and it correctly displayed most of the information properly. Most installs have a start application check box on the finish screen to allow the user some control of that. The only thing that it didn't have displayed after the install was the library name. It was blank. Everything else, from music directories to user account information displayed properly. I entered the library name again and hit OK. It shut down instantly. I was a bit worried that it had just crashed but it appeared to save the library name properly and everything. It did not attempt to start up another SC service, that I could tell, either. Manually starting it up worked, although it does take quite a while to start. I'd suggest a splash screen if you can't get that time down quite a bit. Overall, I'd say that this is going to be a very nice tool to use!!

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Anyone try SC 26785 on Windows XP yet?
Is that for the control panel app or the actual SC process? I haven't been home to try the new build yet. My understanding, could be outdated, is that the control panel isn't finished yet so I've been holding off really putting it through its paces. I always figured that there was some sort of timeout it was waiting for before becomming visible/saving changes or something. I've also had a couple of them try and come up at once (maybe the install is attempting to start one or soemthing?). Before I was installing and then rebooting to let the service (I run SC as a named account service) do its thing. I'll have to reconfigure it once with the control panel because I wiped the install this weekend. By the way, since we are on the install topic. I REALLY like that install doesn't get tripped up on the virus scanner check anymore.

From my point of view this is a great change. Very difficult to get a large number of people (more than 3) to NOT hit the play button. However, with the proposed change the play button essentially buts the song in line. This is not how a Jukebox works - you pick a song and it adds to the end. I'd prefer it this way. Maybe this is the difference between party and playlist mode - not sure on that. Also, I wouldn't need it to automatically go into party? mode at all. I could do that myself before the party and have it locked there until I go in and cancel it. The automatic mode would be useful for me setting up playlists so I could do something advanced like insert a song next - not usually something that I do at a party but useful in day-to-day activities. -- dwilliams01 dwilliams01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55135 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

That will be very useful when a party is going on! Pass the controller is a favorite party game now except the rule about not hitting play always took a lot of explaination.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] New preference default detection for language music source
Philip Meyer;350657 Wrote: It's no secret that in Windows you can change the location of any special folder. All information is in the registry, but there are many ways that the default Windows configuration can be changed, rather than edit the registry. This includes Documents Settings, My Documents, My Music, Windows install folder, etc. SC will simply get the underlying path that is pointed to by the special My Music folder. I changed a lot of those paths in my PC. I think I initially changed My Music to point to a different folder because of WMP or iTunes, which insisted on writing to that folder (couldn't change one of those apps to write its files elsewhere). WMP had a habbit of finding album artwork and modifying folder.jpg files and making them hidden system files. This caused me to lose better quality images with silly thumbnails from time to time. So I changed My Music to point to another folder, and keep my real music files on another hard disk partition, where I believe it is safer. I configure all of my music apps to read from that path rather than rely on My Music. I don't think I'm alone in this configuration - it's quite common for users to keep their music outside of My Music. Maybe not an official secret, but I would certainly not expect it to be widely known and even less widely changed. I'd certainly expect more people to have their music library where it is NOT pointing, anyway. -- dwilliams01 dwilliams01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53718 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Please return My Radio to 7.3
I like the idea of 2 levels. When you are trolling around station lists you find some that are interesting but I wouldn't say that they were your favorites. I wouldn't want to clutter up my favorites with them, either. But there is no other place to put them. I wonder if the IE usage of favorites could be the root issue. I'd like to have a bookmarks and favorites area in browsers as well. Favorites are things that I use often and want quick access to while bookmarks are everything that I have found that I'd like to remember how to get back to at some time.

[SlimDevices: Beta] 7.3 New Streaming anomalies - again
Running recent 7.3 build now. I'm getting some strange playback behaviour. I last saw this when the new streaming was introduced in the later part of the 7.2 boom beta testing (when new streaming was added). I haven't seen it since it was removed from the 7.2 beta... Since it arrived and left with the new streaming I don't think that it is either boom or my network related... I am using a late beta boom, 18v power supply, with a wireless connection. Essentially, I get some odd things like: 1) While playing, display on the boom goes to the large clock which is the off screen saver. Music continues to play for several seconds after that and then stops (mid-song). No activity from remotes or controller. The next track is not started. 2) While playing, display on the boom goes to the small clock screen saver. This is the on, but not playing screen saver with the date on the top line and the time on the second. Music continues to play for several seconds after the display changes, as above, and then stops. The next track is not started, as above. 3) While playing, display on the boom goes completely blank. The track then stops playing mid-song and after a few seconds the display comes back on again and the next track starts playing from the beginning. I have only noticed this with the boom with a wireless connection. My signal strength is around 70+ according to the info. display. I notice no network drops from either the controller or my laptop when these events occur. Is anyone else seeing these sorts of events? What sort of logging would be useful in further tracking this down?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] New MusicIP Scanning
I upgraded to the 20 Sep nightly build and did a clear and rescan. All artwork was scanned in (although I found an album that I actually hadn't gotten any artwork for so I have some more looking around on the web, I guess). Normally I would have a few albums with unscanned artwork with a clear and full rescan so I'd say that it appears to be corrected!!

[SlimDevices: Beta] New MusicIP Scanning
I've switched over to the new way to do scanning and MusicIP. Amazingly faster and I really like it!! Not sure that this is related but it has occurred a couple of times now. I haven't been able to duplicate it at will so I thought that I'd mention it to see if anyone had any insite on what logging to turn on, etc. I have SC doing the scanning and MIP just providing the mixable info. When it scans now some artwork is not loaded into SC. I get some albums that do not get their artwork fully into the album list. I use artist/album sort with max size artwork settings. If I click on the album and drill into it I see the artwork just fine. After that going back to the list and changing pages (and back again) I see it in the list just fine. The albums are new albums and the artwork was present prior to the initial scan of the album. I have seen this happen on a full clear and rescan and with a net change scan. Version 7.3 from yesterday but also occurred on older 7.3 versions as well.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] New MusicIP Scanning

[SlimDevices: Beta] Loosing settings when going from beta to GA
I've been tracking when SC resets to default album sort order and artwork because of some historical issues with it. It has been stable throughout the later versions in beta. However, when going to one of the last beta versions to the GA version it DID loose both the album order and size settings. I'm figuring that this is most likely cause by some sort of release numbering change from beta to GA, but just in case I'm mentioning it here. If it really shouldn't have done that then let me know and I will file an issue. This is from a computer (Windows XP, running IE7) where SC is installed and I ONLY go into SC when I install a new version, etc. I last installed beta on the 23rd, installed GA today. 2/23/18 - installed nightly. Checked artwork/sort - OK. Full library clear and rescan. 3/7/08 - installed GA release, checked artwork/sort - not OK, album order reverted to default and size to small. -- dwilliams01 dwilliams01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44356 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
