[slim] Re: Wake up slimserver (Wake-on LAN) through wireless network
Regardless of the posts from users who have never actually tried the setup: With previous firmware versions of SB2 I *did not* (where is the font size 400 when you need it?) have any problems with my Slimserver (running Windows XP SP2, English, on an old P3 PC with a PCI NIC using WOL through the infamous wire from NIC to motherboard). The server would wake whenever the SB2 was turned on, the whole setup would play happily through the day/night/1 hour or whatever time I had to sit back and relax&enjoy music, and when I powered off the SB2 the Slimserver PC would go into hibernation after the (in the OS) specified amount of time (in my case 5 min.s, changed it from 10 min.s for energy reasons etc.). Now, with the new firmware doing the WMA decoding the setup works perfectly (or as before ;-) whenever I play my ripped CDs, but when I switch to my netradio (which is a WMA stream) the server is no longer used by the SB2, and since it does not receive any traffic from the SB2 determines that the SB2 is powered off and hence shuts down according to the specified power setting. The above should be fairly understandable, let me know where the film snaps if not... What I need is some sort of traffic from the SB2 to the server, for instance every 2. minute, just to let it know that the SB2 is still powered on - on NO, this has nothing to do with any M$ bugs etc.! Setting the server DB hack as proposed by kdf will either: 1) not work or 2) not let the server sleep, which means I am back to burning energy 7*24, which is NOT what I would like to do! Not to say the suggestion is foolish, but it is in no way related to the (small) problem introduced by letting the SB2 do the WMA decoding, which as far as I can see is easily resolved by letting the SB2 talk to the server on a regurlar basis when the SB2 is powered on.

I believe the WMA stream still goes via SlimServer, even if the SB2 is decoding it? Or are you talking about using Squeezenetwork?

For Windows Service from the Wiki. While you are given the option to run Slimserver service automatically when you install on Wiindows, you may want to install and run the SlimServer Windows service by hand. Follow these instructions: Open a "cmd" window and type "cd C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server". Type "slim.exe -install auto" to install the SlimServer software so it will automatically start as a Windows Service the next time you reboot. -- bernt bernt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18057 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Options for remote power on of non ir amp
Hi, I'm the friend of Max's who'll be building the PSU for his new amp. I thought I'd post my thoughts so far, having read through the options. Ideally, of course, the amp power should cycle with the squeezebox power, instantly and transparently - just as if the squeezebox contained a power amp of its own. Solutions involving another remote, or even an unused button on the SB remote, just don't satisfy my sense of neatness I'm afraid. ;-) The X10 route, though neat, is expensive; it's also overkill for such a simple application IMHO. In the absence of a geekport, I think I'll end up going down the IR blaster route, with different codes for switch on and switch off - I don't mind doing a bit of decoding, for example on a cheap PIC (the 6-pin 10F200 is 55 pence here in the UK). Can anyone tell me more about the IR blaster? How easy is it to send custom codes at custom baudrates? And how much of its functionality is in firmware? For example, it would be useful to disable the 38KHz carrier, since I'll probably just hardwire the IR blaster output into the PSU. Is this possible? For anyone who's interested, I'll be using an optoisolator and a triac to switch the mains supply to the PSU (it's a cheap, small and silent solution). The same trick would work for any mains-powered device, so I'll try to make the schematics available once it's built. Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, you could always air condition the gun safe, but that might be noisey, so you'd have to watercool the A/C. Pretty soon you've spent more for the safe than you did for your CD collection. :-) On a slightly more serious note, the CDs are the ultimate backup, which can be a problem as many of mine are no longer in print. As a worst case, I could just buy the 700 or so CDs, but that would cost about $10,000. So a few hundred dollars for a backup solution is probably good insurance. -- pfarrell Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html pfarrell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18029 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: How to reliably/easily backup 100Gb of FLACs?
A very good friend of mine (fellow computer and HT geek) uses the most foolproof system I know of. He uses 2 hot-swap HDDs and keeps one in his safe deposit box. Since his Studio is directly across the street from his bank, at least once per week he simply copies all of is data to the HDD, walks across the street and swaps it out for the other drive. This way he always has all of his data on his PC and on at least one removeable drive. Since he already pays for the box for storing his important papers, etc, there was only the added cost of a hot swap bay and 2 drives. I think he even writes off the cost of the safe deposit box on his taxes. I forget which brand of backup software he uses, but it does incremental and quickly adds new data or updates revised files. He says it does not take very long. I normally have a RAID3 server running in my house which is very safe. His method is about as safe as it gets. -- Jetlag Jetlag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1012 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18029 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

RE: [slim] rescan time
The lazy search does not get involved at any point *during* the scan (and it's not showing the messages you see there - all its messages are prefixed with LazySearch2), but it does process the database contents when the full scan has finished. If you're seeing the "scan in progress" in the web UI then it's definitely just the normal core SlimServer scan that's taking the time as the lazy database work only starts when that message disappears.

Maybe you could limit the text to a certain area to prevent this. - Would it be possible to lose the "The"s i.e. from "The Cardigans" - Unpausing has a slight hiccup - Buttons get messy when you make the window smaller. I was having problems viewing albums (it showed C:\IPOD on the left and the artists on the right, and no albums!!) but worked out that this was due to the fact I uploaded my IPOD music to my laptop and it does this into a flat directory structure i.e. c:\Ipod\The Cardigans\All files from all albums and not the usual C:\Ipod\The Cardigans\Long gone before daylight\all songs from that album etc I am guessing what I am seeing is just a function of how you are reading the files and that you need to have at least two folders i.e. Artist and Album for it to work properly. -- mattybain "After intensive investigation (comma) of the markings on the alien pod (comma) it has become clear (comma) to me (comma) that we are dealing (comma) with a species of awesome intellect (colon)."

My brother is getting the same configuration we will each buy 2x the size of what we need. copy all our critical data to the raid. Put the 2 server in the same network create an original rsync of the folders. After that it will be synched with rsynch every day The homes are about 1/2 mile about if they ever fail at the same time I think there will be bigger problems than to get a few music files back.

Run a packet sniffer and you'll see that there is plenty of network traffic on the 3483 control port. Traffic is constant. You also mentioned that pings do not keep your system alive after a WOL. This agrees with my point earlier. Pings should not keep the system awake after WoL, because if they did, once a WoL was sent, other system's that might be pinging the target system could keep the system alive indefinitely! In Windows networks, there is constant network activity, such as browser activity (think windows network, not IE), domain server management, WINS activity, etc. Routers, managed switches, etc. can send a lot of directed traffic as well. Windows has to ignore the contstant noise on the network when setting its go-back-to-sleep timer, and only keep the system alive when there meaningful activity. Your ping tests are inconsequential. I was trying to communicate some of the things that Windows considers meaningful activity. What changed in the firmware was not simply an elimination of server <-> SB# network activity. There are other variables here.

[slim] Re: Repost?
I assume you have an Internet connection at home. If so, I would
definitely get a router, as you'll probably want the Squeezebox to be
able to access the Internet for 'net radio, either with or without
using SqueezeNetwork. For that you'll need a device on your network to
do NAT - network addresss translation - which is a simple means of
having multiple devices share an Internet connection with a single IP
address.
SOHO Internet routers are pretty ubiquitous these days, especially the
wired-only ones. Some will have more capability than others - better
firewalling perhaps, or maybe a nicer user interface. Some offer a
means of connecting a printer ("print server").
But I've always liked the D-Link gear and have had excellent results
in about a dozen installations, from homes with two PCs to small
offices with up to 10 machines. Something like the DI-604 (same one
fathom39 recommended in the other thread) on the following page would
be all you need:

For example, it would be useful to disable the 38KHz > carrier, since I'll probably just hardwire the IR blaster output into > the PSU. Is this possible? > IR Blaster works like this: For each bit in an IR command the plugin sends a high/low time value (in microseconds/modulation) which tell the firmware to send for hightime and wait for lowtime. The firmware also applies the carrier during the hightime. But there is a mode for remotes that do not use a carrier. The format is called ITT and consists of 20uS hightime and multiple of 20uS lowtime. To tell the firmware to send such an ITT impuls the hightime needs to be set to 1 and the lowtime can be set as needed. The result is a 20uS hightime (fixed) and the specified amount of lowtime. So it would be possible to send two different patterns for 'power on' and 'power off'. Power On: hightime(20uS), lowtime(10*20uS), hightime(20uS), lowtime(10*20uS) Power Off: hightime(20uS), lowtime(20*20uS), hightime(20uS), lowtime(20*20uS) Code: begin remote name ampswitch bits 2 flagsITT one 1 10 zero 1 20 begin codes power_on 0x03 power_off 0x00 end codes end remote Felix -- fcm4711 fcm4711's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17974 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Where to buy an IR Blaster?
Dean, Thank you for adding this to the order page. I just tried to order two and the only options I see for delivery are as follows: $51.00 One or two business day delivery to major business centers around the world $47.95 Two to five business day delivery to more than 57 countries I wasn't really expecting to pay close to 4x the value of the item in shipping charge - is there any way these small items can be sent via normal airmail? If they get lost in transit, I'll buy 2 more - still a lot cheaper than paying $47 shipping!

I'd be very surprised if it made any difference at all. Certainly there won't be any that clearly work "better" with the Squeezebox, though you might find someone who's had the odd issue with some router or other. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113 If you pick up something used, the only thing I'd advise is that you don't get an older 10Mbps router. It won't make any difference for audio streaming, but for PCs or PC-to-NAS traffic you'd want the faster 100Mbps speed of a 10/100 switch. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18075 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Pandora.com
Just tried it out. Interesting. I created a station based on Low that gave me a few interesting and fairly appropriate results, but then it threw in a Poison song. Pandora needs to keep that box shut. Reading their explanation of how it works, it sounds like they manually analyze each song they stream? It would seem like there is just too much music in the world for that to be feasible in the long run. Plus you are subject to someone making inappropriate judgements about a song (especially if they are hurrying), and then you end up hearing something by Poison. On the other hand, I have found some great new bands using LastFM. It's a good bet that someone who listens to a bunch of the same stuff you do is also going to listen to some stuff you like but haven't heard of yet. That seems like a much more scalable and "open source" kind of approach. -- superbad superbad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18080 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Network adapter reconnects every 23 minutes
Hi, I just unpacked the new SB3 today, installed the latest SlimServer 6.2 and had not one problem setting it all up. Everything seems to be in a proper working order, except for one "glitch".
