Your laptop is in a different spot, doing differnet things with different hardware than the Squeezebox. Again, your experience mirrors my own; I had no problems with my laptop 12 feet away from the bridge. But the laptop was using a different wireless card, was 12 feet away from potential sources of interference and reflection/refraction/multipath (again, metal enclosures?) and "ping" is not the same thing as streaming audio. It may well be the SB3; as suggested elsewhere, a loose card or antenna connection or a downright flaky card; but it also may be interference. It is almost certainly not the protocol stack. And as a software engineer myself with years of experience with networks, wireless networks, and networking protocols, including implementing, troubleshooting, and downright beating on protocol stacks, I humbly suggest that "software engineer" and "RF engineer" are two different animals.

I not only concur, but I will add that there's a bunch of other things that can cause problems. For example, metal surfaces nearby causing reflection or refraction, or the ever popular "multipath". I pretty much did everything for a certificate in wireless networking (CWNA) except take the test, and notwithstanding that, I gave up and wired my Squeezebox because of dropouts. Didn't have them bad at first, but got worse over time, to the point where I just couldn't take it anymore. And like the OP, I had good signal strength, and my wireless bridge that the SB was connected to was a foot or two from the ceiling of the 1st floor, and almost directly above it, 3-4 feet off the carpet on the 2nd floor sits my wireless router/AP. I would definitely suggest changing channels, as it may be a strong signal from one of your neighbors. In the U.S., much equipment defaults to channel 6. Try Channel 1 or Channel 11, as those have the least overlap with 6 (they are the "farthest away", so to speak). Try moving antennas around, and bear in mind that the signal radiates outward from the long side; i.e., in theory, antennae that are "parallel" to each other should talk better than ones whose ends are "pointed" at each other. Avoid large flat pieces of metal (amp cabinets, maybe?) nearby if at all possible. Of course, it may indeed be a problem with the Squeezebox itself. I have a SB1 not a 3 at the moment, but IIRC the 3's have the dual antenna? Perhaps check that both are enabled...

[slim] Re: AllofMP3.com
If you surf over to the IFPI (International Federation of Phonographic Industries) you'll find that AllofMP3 is not paying royalties to the artists or the record companies. Love or hate the RIAA and the record industry, the artists are not recieving THEIR royalties from AllofMP3. In turn last year, the Russian Police, computer crimes division raided AllofMP3 hauling off the company execs. The following is directly from the IFPI News Release. === Recording industry welcomes police investigation of Allofmp3.com February 22, 2005 The international recording industry has welcomed action by the Russian authorities against a Russian website alleged to be offering digital copies of recorded music for sale illegally. Allofmp3.com and its principals are alleged to be involved in large-scale copyright infringement by offering music for sale without authorisation from rights holders in Russia and internationally. The Computer Crimes unit of Moscow City Police formally passed the results of its criminal investigation to the Moscow City Prosecutors office on February 8. IFPI, on behalf of its members, also submitted a formal complaint to the prosecutors office in support of further action on the same date. The prosecutor has thirty days from the date of receiving evidence to decide whether to proceed with a criminal prosecution. IFPI, which represents 1,450 record companies in over 70 countries, maintains that Allofmp3.com has not been licensed to distribute its members repertoire in Russian or internationally. Igor Pozhitkov, Regional Director, IFPI Moscow says: We have consistently said that Allofmp3.com is not licensed to distribute our members repertoire in Russia or anywhere else. We are pleased that the police are bringing this important case to the attention of the prosecutor. We very much hope and expect that the prosecutor will proceed with this case, which involves the sale and digital distribution of copyrighted music without the consent or authorisation of the rights holders. Background for editors: * The Russian music market is ranked 12th in the world and was worth $US326.2 million in 2003. * Russia, with a 64% piracy rate, is one of IFPIs top ten priority markets targeted in the fight against commercial piracy. * IFPI secured in 2004 the takedown of 60,900 infringing websites (41,000 in 2003), 477 unauthorised P2P servers (1,050 in 2003) and 1.6 billion infringing music files in 102 countries (1.6 billion in 2003).

[slim] Re: Serious SB3 problems.
But it very well could be interference... If you have something like this (pardon bad ascii art): AP-| |-SB |-Laptop That doesn't mean that an interference pattern 'between' the AP and the SB will interfere with the laptop. The pattern may be from a phone sitting near the SB, making everything the SB receives look like junk.. but 5' away in either direction (at the laptop and AP), the problem may be undetectable. Add in that certain chipset combinations are going to behave differently when they see junk (assuming they see it: the discrimination on a given chipset may be higher or lower... and the noise on a low-discrimination chipset may actually be -less- than on a high depending on how centered the noise is). RF gets very messy very quickly. What you describe sounds -exactly- like RF interference, including packet retransmits and perhaps radio retrains on the longer outages. Have you tried switching channels on your router? I have a hard time believing it's a problem in the TCP/IP stack: a lot more people would be seeing it if that were the case. There's lots of people with exactly the same firmware on their SB and exactly the same OS as you... so the question is, "what is different about your setup?" ie, why are -you- seeing this problem and I'm not? Perhaps it's a flaky reciever in your SB. Perhaps it's a loose antenna connection in it. Or it's some outside RF problem from a cordless phone or neighbor. Or even the a heating duct in the wall between the AP and the SB is deflecting signals around. But the probability says it's going to be something "wrong" with the RF, not the software in the TCP/IP stack or a LOT more people would be seeing the problem. Because things like fixing a bad receiver or loose antenna connection are complex, it's best to try the easiest thing first. If it works, problem solved. If not, you spent a minute to get a slightly better diagnosis. I believe there's software that will record signal quality and things like retransmits. (Remember, even UDP packets on a wireless link get some protection -- the receiving radio has to send a "yes I got that" packet or the sender must assume that there was a collision and retransmit it a lot of retransmits means you are losing data somewhere.) You may want to see if you can get that on your laptop and see if there's something odd going on with your network. Is the SB not seeing the packets and not acknowledging them? Is the AP not seeing them? That's all complex stuff, though.. I would certainly try to change the channel on the router first. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20057 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It's slightly useful in if it's "very low" that is a problem, but the real number that matters (which most devices won't really record) is 'signal quality'. Microwaves, cordless phones, wireless alarm systems, neighbors on close channels, all contribute to noise, lowering the quality of the signal, but not the strength. I guess the audio equivalent is having your amp set to max volume, but someone drives by with a CB and nicely broadcasts his "10-4, Good buddy" into the middle of your concerto. Yes, your music is at full volume, but that doesn't mean it's listenable like that. Unfortunately, most hardware doesn't monitor signal quality at all so you're left to guess what the problem is. (Cisco/Aironet devices did, but then they cost a bundle compared to the $50 routers we all use... my Belkin doesn't even tell me the strength, let alone quality or packet retransmits or radio retrains...) In other words: even with 100% signal strength, something may be spitting on your wireless signal. Have you tried changing which channel you're on? That may move it away from whatever it is that is causing problems. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20057 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Serious SB3 problems.
I received my spanking new SB3 shortly after Thanksgiving and have enjoyed it a lot. I got it configured properly and even have my old series 1 Tivo connected through it so as to do away with an annoying network cable that my wife regularly tripped over. Today, unfortunately, that changed. While it can talk to the wireless access point just fine, it's having a lot of trouble keeping a continuous link going, to the point that it drops the connection to the Slimserver. Running a continuous ping, I see serious packet loss: --- squeeze.exit.com ping statistics --- 3488 packets transmitted, 1169 packets received, 66% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.009/19.680/14871.431/435.113 ms Only about a third of the packets are getting through. Interestingly, if I do a hard reset it picks up and starts to work fine, but shortly starts dropping packets again. It looks like communication to the Tivo behind it also drops packets, so it must be something in the little protocol stack on the SB3 itself, but I have no idea as to what it might be. I've been watching it as I write this, as it keeps losing and regaining the connection. I do have a 2.4GHz phone about, but as I said it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the wireless connectivity as far as I can see. According to the AP, the signal stays near 100% pretty much constantly, which makes sense as the SB3 is only about eight feet from the AP (albeit through a wall and a thin piece of particle board). Any hints would be appreciated; if I can provide any more information I would be happy to do so. -- fmayhar fmayhar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2927 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20057 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I would prefer not to use the blaster cable i did order, tying into the distribution kit would be much cleaner. Any ideas how I could get the codes?

[slim] Re: Feature request: Polarity control
I think we should let the boffins worry about the implementation details (where, on which platform, it is cheapest to do the transformation) and concentrate instead on the important user elements of how it should work. It seems like one bit per channel for the music, and one bit per channel for the player (in case for some reason the room is wired badly) would work. That way, if you get an inversion for the song, and an inversion for the room, they would cancel. That was the suggestion made in the feature request, and it seems feasible and sensible.

[slim] Re: Problem with SlimServMon Widget for Konfabulator
Just an update for everyone. I have contacted the author of SlimServMon once again and have politely attempted to work something out with being able to release my widget & keep both of us happy. His response was polite as well, but he maintains that he holds rights to his intellectual property & would not take a look at my code as it might indicate I have rights to any part of his code. So unfortunately I am not able to release my version of the widget to anyone because I had previously viewed code to SlimServMon to do the original updates/fixes. I cannot take a chance of this code getting released to anyone & getting in any further disputes with the author & am TRULY sorry to anyone who has waited over 6 months for an update for SlimServMon. I know if I was the author I would not allow that to happen. The SlimServMon author has told me development is still ongoing & the project has not been abandoned. I would like to make a suggestion: Anyone with *some* level of HTML/JavaScript knowledge code a version of the widget themselves *without* looking at any code in SlimServMon. The SlimServer XML interface is well documented & it's really not a hard application to code from scratch if you have reviewed basic Konfabulator widget tutorials & possibly looked at some sample programs. I'll even send you the control panel graphics that I intended to use in my widget (play, pause, stop & skip buttons). This way the author cannot claim any type of infringement on his software & the community will have something that works & which (hopefully) can be modified by other users openly & without such restricted copyright terms. Lastly, I have learned from all of this that if I ever get the notion to fix something that someone else has written, it's best to email them first & find out if they would allow you to post modified code & if not you always have the option of writing the application yourself as long as you haven't previously viewed/modified their code. -- acebathound :Techdose: http://www.techdose.com acebathound's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15981 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Mucking about with the large data files on the hard disk is something that I think should be avoided. Flipping the data on the server side, in real time as the data is being sent to the SB, is fine as a solution, provided that it is practical to implement.

Agree, apart from the "one channel" part. Having a flag for each channel is fine, for maximum flexibility. However the problem with incorrect polarity is not a problem where just -one- channel is out of phase! If one channel is out of phase with regard to the other channel, then the result is a massive sound degradation capable of making you feel sick after a while! In addition base information would cancel out if you use a single sub woofer, leaving you with no sub base at all. I have never heard of any CD being released with such a gross error. The sound degradation due to -both- channels being inverted is much more subtle, and can be hard or impossible to hear on a simpler system. -- P Floding P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19961 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I just got my new SB3 - and am very impressed. The display is great, wireless connection loads more reliable than SB1, and sooo pretty. Oh and the crossfade really works well. I'm using the ethernet port as a bridge for my HTPC (Win MCE 2005). It was really easy to setup, and really works well for browsing the internet, but fails if I try to access the (Win 2K3) server where slimserver runs. If I try to remote control the server, or access a share it starts to connect, but then seems to time out. I can access other PCs shares fine, and as I said I can access the net fine.

Re: [slim] Random Mix and multiple genre tags
In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, DSw wrote: > How about a single tickbox to choose whether you want inclusive or > exclusive behaviour? dBpowerAMP Audio player (dAP - www.dbpoweramp.com) handles this in a really nice way IMO. A tick box has three states - '-', '+' and space. '-' means don't include any track that has this genre, '+' means do include any track that has this genre and space means I don't care. These can be applied to artists and genres making a really powerful selection mechanism. Unfortunately, in it's current release, it will only handle a single genre in the tag although the database will hold many genres (only the first gets written to the tag). Selection configurations can then be saved and reloaded so, for example, I added a dAP db tag of zBL to any tag that contains bad language and created a selection criteria that excludes it. Whenever we had adults who might be offended by it or children in the house I'd loaded the 'no bad language' selection criteria. I did similar things for Exercising and parties. Unfortunately there's no way I know of to feed dAP output into SoftSqueeze or Squeezeboxes so it doesn't help much but it might give programmers ideas. I'm staggered there's nothing around to take the output destined for the audio card and turn it into some sort of input that can be used for other programs on the PC (such as Slim). I had a play with Shoutcast but didn't get anywhere although that may have just been me of course! I confess I like the flexibility and usability of dAP so much that if there was any way to feed its output into the Slim system I wouldn't use any other way of playing my music.
