Re: [slim] Is there a "tree" diagram for SB3?
Those menus can be hard to go through without a roadmap. As these menus are very dynamic (depending on your player settings, installed plugins, music collection etc.) it's hard to give a globally valid map. But you can get an impression of the main menu in the player settings/menus. That's the place where you can add, remove or simply move entries to your liking. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Extremely loud "white noise" from Squeezebox?!
I tend to leave my stereo on while I'm gone, as I like some music playing in the background when I return home. As usual, today, I had my Squeezebox 3 playing the ambient station "Bluemars" on Squeezenetwork when I left for an appointment. The volume was set to maybe 60-70 db of sound level. Basically, background or just above background. My McIntosh amp was only producing about 1/10th of a watt or less. When I returned today, I could hear a roar from outside my house. So I hurriedly went inside - One channel of my McIntosh amp had the meter holding steady at nearly 200 watts, and the other channel has a steady 10 watts. The noise was deafening - it wasn't music - it was like white noise with bass mixed in. I thought at first my old Sansui receiver that's subbing for my pre-amp (while my McIntosh is getting a tuneup) had gone on the fritz. A quick check of other functions (AM, FM, phono, etc) revealed that the source of the sonic bedlam was the Squeezebox itself. Changing stations didn't stop the sound, nor did raising or lowering the volume control. I tried powering the unit on and off with the remote. The noise did not go away. I had been listening via analog connection, so I kicked my HT decoder on. There was no output whatsoever from the unit's digital co-ax output. Yet the analog outputs were still blasting out the white noise. So I unplugged the Squeezebox, and replugged it in a few minutes later. Mysteriously, the sound on the Squeezebox returned to normal. That was about 6 pm - I've had the unit playing continuously since then - it's been performing normally. Do I have a defective Squeezebox? Does it need to be repaired or replaced?? I really don't trust it now, and I definitely WON'T leave it on while I'm out ever again. I'm afraid of damaging my almost irreplaceable Klipsch CF-4s.

[slim] Re: 108Mbps Support
Hi Al, I have a SB2 rather than a SB3 connected to a Netgear WPN824 Rangemax router. Here's what I'd suggest you try. Enable SSID broadcast, enable auto 108, disable advanced 108bps features and extended range. They really screw things up for some reason. Try connecting without any security to establish a connection 1st. Then enable WPA personal which I believe is the TKID or something like that. Do not enable WPA2. That should get you going. Be really careful about any blank spaces when typing in the password for WPA on the SB3. It's really picky and is the source of many of the the issues/complaints, IMHO. BTW, you'll love your SB3 when it's up and running. Vinnie's mods rock! Check them out. :-) Good luck! Jim Al Garay Wrote: > Bought a WPN824 today.

[slim] Re: Softsqueeze
There seem to be some issues with Softsqueeze dropping out at times. Symptom is that it basically loses sync with Slimserver. You can look at the player status and they may not be on the same song. Sometimes skipping tracks in the Softsqueeze interface clears the problem, sometimes you just need to restart Softsqueeze. I've noticed it's particularly troublesome with high CPU apps, or apps that seem to take over the input queue for long time in Windows. I don't even know if it's really a Softsqueeze problem per se, it could be wackiness with my Java implementation, or problems with the Internet connection at home or work. It will probably work better with an external SB3 than with Softsqueeze. If Softsqueeze and Slimserver are on the same machine it's probably not a fair comparison. -- mrfantasy --Mike mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19302 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I couldn't get it to connect at first, it seemed that changing the encryption method but not changing the SSID meant the SB2 retained a memory of the previous settings. I found that performing a factory reset fixed it and it then connected using WPA2 with no problems. Since then, whenever I play with my encryption method on the router, I change the SSID as well, which seems to make it easier to change on the SB (also means that if I want to revert to previous settings, just have to change the SSID again, because SB remembers the settings for that SSID. -- ianjohnson_nz ianjohnson_nz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19305 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] First Impression
My SB3 set up without problems. I hooked it up via wire at first just to make sure that Slim Server and the SB3 set up worked OK before opening a wireless router I bought. Having WPA encryption was an important part of my decision to go wireless. So far, I am very satisfied with the product. While waiting for the SB3 to arrive (it took 20 days after I placed my order), I got a little nervous that the product might be buggy. So far it has been ROCK solid. No issues at all. I haven't done any serious listening yet, but what I've noticed is that the stereo separation is very good. Additionally, everything I've played has sounded good. What sounds good is the voices are very distinct and nothing sounds too edgey. The bass seems tight. The response seems flat, but I would say the highs are probably rolled off, which is probably a good idea for digital playback. I have a nice separates setup, so it will be interesting to hear what it sounds like with some good recordings. What surprised me was the how well the interface works. (It's hard to anticipate before you use the SB3 how it will operate.) It's really cool to pull anything out of your collection and have it start playing quickly. There are so many customizations straight out of the box, the SB3 has been a lot of fun to use. Also, I didn't realize that I'd be able to use the Slim Server interface to select songs and change volume. I like how the volume goes up to 11. Somebody has a good sense of humor. I decided to have Slim Server use iTune's library and playlists. So far, I'm not sorry. That's made my life simple and I like that. I also enjoy the Squeeze Network. I like being able to have fast, easy access to music from all over the world. That's a nice feature. I'm looking forward to some good listening.

If you can tell me which info you would like & explain to me how I go about getting that info for you,I'll gladly do it, no problem. If you can help, I'd appreciate it. Oh, I'm no expert, just a long-time user. And when I said "I", I meant that you should do so and report back. This forum is full of people who know a lot more than I do, and if you can give enough information someone should be able to help. I'm always in favour of giving as much information as possible. Which Mac, which version of the OS, which version of SlimServer, which router (you did give that information). You said "huge" dropouts, and I assume you mean that they occur frequently, not that each dropout is of long duration. Is there any pattern in the dropouts? For instance, do they occur at regular intervals? There are processes that may use up a lot of CPU (refreshing the Web browser, rescanning the library, etc). Dan Sully suggested one thing worth trying. Triode suggested something else, which will help to check the network. The other suggestion I made was to turn on Activity Monitor (it's in the Utilities subfolder of of the Applications folder), perhaps order the processes by CPU usage, and watch to see if any process is repeatedly showing up with very high usage. Wired is inherently more stable than wireless, and it is possible that some SlimServer related issues are always occurring but only show up with a wireless connection. Oh, I've just seen your later post. Originally you said it was fine on a wired network, so I assumed a wireless issue, but your new message says there are problems even running wired, which suggests a Mac issue. You said "I can play back songs perfectly from my Windows PC." I'm not entirely clear if your music is on the Mac, and whether you were playing music on the PC (from the Mac), or whether you were running the SB with a PC SlimServer. Network issues are common, and can be caused by what is happening in a nearby building or apartment quite easily. I have an SB2 (previously an SB1) and as just one example of what can happen I often lost sound when the microwave was on.

Not to mention some other really good BETA testers. The module that I wrote is for an AMX NetLinx system. You need three components to use my module: 1. Some sort of AMX NXI controller. It can be an integrated controller with I/R, relays, contacts, etc (very useful if you want to control other A/V gear). Examples: NI-700, NI-2000, NI-3000, NI-4000. Or an NXI with an ME260 master card. Or heck, if you don't need I/R, relays, or contacts, then just an ME260 master card in a shell. 2. A wireless access point. Any brand will do. 3. Some sort of touchpanel. The featured touchpanel on the screenshot is a AMX Modero MVP-8400, a handheld wireless 2-way touchpanel that looks just great. With that and a bit of programming knowledge, as well as the AMX software, you can get something running dang fast. In fact, I have a sample program that you can edit, download, and bring up in a very short time period, assuming you have the hardware hooked up and working. Having an integrated controller is nice because then the system can control the rest of the A/V gear. For example, volume would turn up/down the volume of the A/V system. Select "Music", and the display turns off. Etc, etc. If you're interested in considering AMX (it's expensive, but it's damn nice), I'd contact one of their dealers. You should be able to get dealer referrals from www.amx.com. -- Jeff -- Jeff Jeff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19299 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Softsqueeze
I haven't taken receipt of my SB3 yet so I test out ripped files and other aspects of this technology by running Slimserver with Softsqueeze. If I am doing any significant processing - I am ripping and compressing with FLAC a lot - on my laptop while listening (with headphones) I will invariably, just give it a little time, get serious breakup of the playback and eventually actually stop playing altogether. I asked a question a while back whether or not the SB3 can perform while my laptop's CPU and file system are extremely busy, since I expect to be ripping and compressing well into '06 while listening to my SB3. The answer came back that there would be no problem. Now I am beginning to wonder. My only consolation is that softsqueeze is competing for resources on my laptop whereas the actual SB3 hardware won't be. However, Slimserver is also competing for resources and will be when I get the SB3 hardware up and running. Which is causing me the problem? Both interfaces are sitting there acting like they are playing (running) fine even though no music is playing. Any thoughts? Bruce S. -- Bruce S.

As for your CD and TV, I was able to work around the absence of discrete power on my old tv and dvd (since upgraded). On the DVD player, I discovered that the "play" button would turn on the unit if it was off, so it was easy enough to map "On" to "Play" and "Off" to "Play" plus "Power Toggle."

It appears that 'drivers' can periodically kick some timers in Windows to reset the "yes, I'm busy, please don't go back to slep!" I don't know if 'applications' can or can't. (Slimserver would have to be able to call the DontGoBackToSleep() system call, assuming such a thing exists, every X minutes if any of the clients was still in play mode.)

If it's based on 'disk activity' then it won't go to sleep. My guess is that for Windows, you'll have to manually sleep your computer with a keyboard button, and that it won't be able to go back to sleep on a timer -- that's what that knowledgebase article implies to me.

RE: [slim] Re: How to i find the IP address for slimserver?
Depends on how your network is set up. I guess you have a router which connects all your PCs/laptops/squeezeboxes to the web. They're all linked via the network, and it's likely that a router will control all this. A commonplace way to set things up is to have each network device given an IP address by the router. But normally the address won't actually change all that much (if at all) - even if you reboot. If the slimserver software still running on the server? Does it automatically restart when you reboot the server? If so, use "ipconfig" again on the server to see whether the IP address has changed. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It shows 3 different "devices" that could have an IP address. I've called my first one "wireless" although it would normally be called "Local Area Network Connection" or something. The IP address you are looking for is of the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. This means that it MAY BE 3 digits per block, but not necessarily. In my case here, my office connection is currently connected. The IP address is "10.10.98.169" (I've changed it a bit for security ;) but that's the sort of IP address I'd be using for slimserver, for example.

Don't calls to the US cost about 3p/1.5p (using calling cards/ Sipgate)? this is probably just as cheap as some of the numbers you have to call for UK based support.

label them myself somehow, otherwise Lazy searching is going to be
very difficult ;-)
I put the numeric keys on the soft buttons, which I labelled with "ABC<"
etc (the arrow is present in each one just to differentiate between them
and the properly labelled buttons). I also have "add" and "search" soft
buttons, with the less-used brightness, shuffle, repeat etc mapped to
soft buttons on the second page. ("Now Playing" is on the hard "DIS"
button.)
I agree that it's a lovely remote. It's replaced six others for me; if

I use Skype all the time, and it would make a big difference. -- jimwillsher jimwillsher's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=410 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18938 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

US West coast is -8 hours from the UK, so guess they are -9 hours from CET. I'm surprised I've not seen companies offering any VOIP connections yet for customer contact.. perhaps Slim could lead the field here? -- Khuli Khuli's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=851 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18938 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Help! SB3 cannot connect wireless!
Agreed. And I too am in the UK. Wonder if there's a pattern here, e.g. the reliability issues arise with the UK frequencies/strengths ? Mine has worked all night quite happily. So, once it works it works well. The major battle is getting it to "connect to network". It sees the network, and once it's connectd it works well, but it's the "Connecting to Network" phase which upsets it. For me, anyway.

[slim] Re: Help! SB3 cannot connect wireless!
I've already tried entering the SSID manually but it makes no difference. Tried the full reset. Upgraded the firmware on my router. Turned off long range and Nitro. Still got all security features turned off. Tried the 6.5b1 firmware I live in the UK so are using the Europe wireless setting. I presume were the same as the rest of Europe, but there is a different set for France. Should there be a different wireless setup for the UK? But still no luck. Not happy as I've imported these direct from Slimdevices. SB1 is a lot better. -- keef keef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2880 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19257 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've promised to do more tinkering when I get around to it. When it comes to support@ response times, I find that they tend to be rather quick considering the roughly 8 hour time difference from CET. -- pitrh Peter N. M.
