[slim] "Now Playing" instead of title
Hi guys, this is my first post here since I took delivery of my SB2 about a week ago. The SB2 is great and and has surpassed my expectations. I've got a small issue and I'm not sure if it's something I've done or whether it was the upgrade to Slimserver 6.1.2. Anyway, the SB2 display is defaulting to the words "Now Playing" but before it used to display the artist and title that was playing. I can change it to display the artist and title with the keypad but it changes back to "Now Playing" (presumably after a refresh). I'd obviously like it to display the artist and title of the currently playing music - can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the old display back I'm sure there's an easy solution, so I'm sorry and thanks in advance. regards from downunder Scott This is a good start - I even posted in the wrong forum:-O. Can an administrator move this to the beginners forum - sorry. -- Wallaby ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Suggestion: Power Nap Plugin
I thought this would be a neat plugin if someone wants to take it on. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do it myself. Power Nap plugin - sort of a combination of sleep timer and alarm plugin. In web UI, set up amount of time for sleep timer to run when Power Nap is enabled (default of 15-20 minutes would be good) and amount of quiet nap time before the alarm comes on. Also probably need to be able to specify the wake-up volume and maybe a playlist. When the plugin is activated, the current playlist starts playing for the amount of time specified, then music fades out, and after the quiet time, the alarm comes on. Obviously I can do this by manually setting the current sleep timer and alarm, but it would be cool to do it quickly by just setting Power Nap ON or pressing a button on the remote. -- MeSue Sue ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

One thread to make sure the players didn't go dry, one to handle navigation via the remote, one to handle the web server, etc. Part of me keeps hoping SlimDevices has a master plan to fix all this. Python, Java? A tidy C++ core maybe? I'm not holding my breath. Like many of the people who have written on this thread, I have also thought that separating the stream-serving and web-interface portions of SlimServer into separate processes would help performance dramatically. Over the last couple of years I've pretty much given up using the web interface because of poor response, and very frequently the device UI freezes for 10-100 seconds while trying to navigate. I've just resigned myself to wandering away for a while and coming back in a minute or two. These are definitely problems that were once unnoticed, but have grown as my library has grown, now at a large 120 GB / 25,000 tracks on an admittedly aging 450 MHz single proc G3 Mac that's dedicated to SlimServer. On one hand, I'd love it if my server was more robust, on the other hand, I'm running two Slims from a 25K song library on a 7 year old computer with annoyances I've learned to live with. I do sometimes renice the slimserver process down to -10 or -19 to squeeze a little more out of it, but since it's a dedicated box it doesn't do too much. I've also noticed that some hooks for a mysql DB option are there somewhere, yes? I've certainly considered switching to that in the hopes I can squeeze some more performance out. - Ert ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Dave, I agree with you - the NSLU2 is a lot smaller an investment to worry about when hacking firmware etc. How are you finding the performance of your NSLU2? I've set one up and the menu navigation from the SB2 is definitely slower than when I was running Slimserver on OS X. After testing with a handful of albums, I'm in the process of copying the rest of my music over (~1 songs). Based on what people have said about rescan issues with Slimserver 6.1.1 I've opted for 6.0.2. Have you found rescans to be particularly slow? I think tonight I'm going to crack the NSLU2 open and up the processing speed - this I hope will have a positive impact on both scans and menu navigation... -- nano2nd ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
