[slim] Live Search - Erratic Behavior
I can't use the default skin at all because Live Search crashes SlimServer every time. I am able to use Default2 but I get some strange behavior, not sure if it's intentional, just me, or a bug. When I begin typing text to search for, the results are narrowed as I type. I get results in Artist, Album and Song, as expected. But if I hit Enter or click Search, I only get Song results. This wouldn't be all that bad, except that at this point, the Live part of the search no longer works. In other words, back-spacing and typing characters in the search field does not give any new results until I hit Enter or click Search, so I end up with only Song results. I have to refresh (which takes me back home) then click on Search to get the Live functionality back.

[slim] SqueezeBox 2 rehoused
I've finally got my Squeezebox into a new housing, it's one I got from an Italian Company - AudioKit (http://www.audiokit.it/ENG/Frames/Introduction1.htm) Here's a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/40756540/ It's the central unit. The left hole is for a power LED and the right exposes the remote control receiver. It still works really well even with the more limited aperture. The case is a tiny bit wider than I wanted, but looks OK. There's an awful lot of blank metal, which I need to get used to, but now I have lots of space for linear power supplies, clock modifications etc. The inside isn't so pretty at the moment, I managed to get a new cable to link the main board with the display, but it's a metre long! Also I need to get new stand-offs to mount the display at the right distance and also paint some of the front panel edges black to minimise reflection. The opening is in fact a little too small, it doesn't obscure anything, but you need to be directly in front of the unit to see all the screen from a distance. I can live with that. Ideally I think a case should be like the bottom unit in this picture, the Musical Fidelity XDac3. I'll stick with this for the moment, it wasn't too expensive to do (under £100, including machining the front) and it matches the Copland gear well, but if I see a nice smaller unit I may be tempted to shrink it down! -- CardinalFang ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Your outgoing ping works with the firewall enabled because the connection was initiated by the stateful firewalled PC, and the firewall maintains a connections table.

There is no such thing as digital speakers, all loudspeakers are inherentily analog, as they take an analog electrical signal and translate it to an analog sound.

So even though the database might be getting fully cleared, the data in the running server's memory may not.

Q:'How big is the music library?' A: Well after losing quite a lot with the changing over of the HD between Windows and Linux, the size is now [fires up Firefox to have a look] according to the web interface says 'Your music library contains 366 albums with 7335 songs by 181 artists.' No playlists set-up. A bit pointless as it won't play music properly to make them worthwhile. Hardware: Intel P4PE mainboard, Intel P4 2.66Ghz, 512KRam, Seagate 7200/120Gb 8Mb Buffer with Linux Mandrive LE 10.2, Seagate 7200/200Gb 8Mb Buffer with the above music in MP3, OGG and FLAC (plus linux files from wherever they decided to come from). And that machine is connected by ethernet cable to the wireless router which is a Belkin Pre-N MIMO. The SB2 is being used via wireless. Security is WEP128. SB2 sees the network and connects before the countdown reaches 14. It sees the SlimServer and has the correct IP assigned to it. Hit connect and it connects showing the Squeezebox Home. Use the remote and the menus are very unresponsive. Select a tune to play and it shows 'Now Playing' plus whatever's been selected but the music is terrible with breakups. Sometimes the display shows 'Lost contact with SlimServer', yet according to the SB2 settings page the wireless strength is never below 75%. I'm now really annoyed with the whole thing. Guess it's 'do everything you can to piss Robbie off' time at the moment, because I purchased a pump to make the shower into a power shower. Piped it all up and it wouldn't work. Thinking it was because the cold storage tank in the loft wasn't high enough to trigger the switches in the pump, I raised it three feet to just under the roof. And guess what; it still wouldn't work. Turns out the brand new pump was faulty. Robin if you want to ssh into the box go ahead.

I'd been listening to that because I couldn't listen to my music library due to the above issues. Thinking it was Windows XP causing the problem I decided to go the Linux way, but the issue is still there. I'm wondering whether it's a faulty SB2 after having the above problem with the brand new pump.

[slim] Re: Songs show in search, but not in Browse artist
I have tried with the nightly 6.1.2, then went back to 6.1.1, then went to nightly 6.2. Somewhere along the way, my problem with that specific artist was fixed. However, I am still having the problem with other artist/songs, I just don't know who they are. I currently have a discrepancy between iTunes and Slimserver of 90 songs and 208 artists!! This is driving me nuts. Regards, -Eric -- egauthier ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

* egauthier shaped the electrons to say... I currently have a discrepancy between iTunes and Slimserver of 90 songs and 208 artists!! This is driving me nuts. SlimServer does some auto-identification of Various Artists albums, and doesn't include those artists (often with single tracks) in the Artist Count. Please don't go crazy - just because we don't do something exactly like iTunes doesn't mean it's broken. :) -D -- fuz deregulation will lead to greater competition, consumer choice, and lower prices. my name is elmer fudd.

Please add an enhancement request at http://bugs.slimdevices.com/ Thanks!

I think it would be really nice to be able to amend the name. I renamed my RSS feeds to be shorter so that they actually fit on the top line of the SB display (which doesn't scroll), so that I can actually read the (n of n) part at the end! Most RSS news feed readers allow the name to be changed.

[slim] Re: RadioIO left-channel static
Aaron Zinck Wrote: I listen to RadioIO Acoustic and I've noticed it, too. Aaron, thank you for your reply. I thought I was the only one who could hear this, and it has been driving me crazy. I've all but stopped listening to RadioIO because of it, and switched over to Radio Paradise. Now here's the bad part, I think. I can play RadioIO Acoustic via Windows Media Player, and I don't hear _any_ left-channel noise at all. I've been listening very carefully through the same speakers: first with Windows Media Player, then with Softsqueeze, back and forth. I hear the noise with Softsqueeze, but not Windows Media. This could be a Slimserver problem. It seems very unlikely (why only RadioIO?), but it's the only conclusion I can make, given the observations. I would like to get more feedback from others before opening a bug. The bug report will not do any good if this is not seen as reproducible. So far, only you and I have reported it. Other poeple reading this thread: will you please do a simple listening test? Listen to a few songs on RadioIO Acoustic or Eclectic with SB1, SB2 or Softsqueeze, and tell us if you hear any noise in the left channel. Then listen to the same station with some player other than Slimserver and report that as well.

[slim] Re: slimtray.exe not working
I installed SlimServer 6.1.1 on a server running Windows 2003 Server (SP1) Standard Edition. SlimTray.exe starts running at starup, as it is supposed to. When I doubleclick the SlimTray.exe taskbar icon, it says SlimServer Starting - but it never starts. slim.exe does not show in the task manager, and (obviously) it's not available via the web client (and nothing is listening on netstat -a on port 9000. If I manually start slim.exe, it opens a cmd (DOS) window, and the service (slim.exe) runs great, but if I close the DOS window, the service stops as well (logically). How can I get SlimTray.exe to actually start slim.exe?? Is it a Win 2K3 server compatibility issue?
