[slim] Re: Shuffling
For me it's just a small usability issue - (it's like the annoyance of wanting to watch a DVD but having to navigate through 10 trailers and 5 menus before reaching the actual movie - only not quite that bad) I think that it would be better to have the following global shuffle settings 1. Don't Shuffle 2. Shuffle by Song 3. Only Shuffle Playlists by Song 4. Shuffle by Album 5. Only Shuffle Playlists by Album Otherwise, there could be the same settings as now, but include an extra global setting which would be 1. Shuffle Complete Albums 2. Don't Shuffle Complete Albums Which is only settable through the web interface or through the settings menu. Perhaps it could be achieved with a plugin? Would this be easy to write?

It's not entirely clear quite what you need here but... Have you looked at the 'shadowplay' plugin? This allows you to control remote SlimServer clients. I'm not sure if it would work on a stream-only client though. I also think it would be possible to write a plugin for controlling iTunes from SlimServer (using applescript (OSX) or OLE (windows)), and relaying the playback info. But it doesn't exist at present... James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

[slim] Qnap TS-101 Update
Ok firstly my apologies for not posting any updates on here recently. We are still recovering from the Christmas period and there just doesn't seem enough hours in the day. The current situation with the Qnap TS-101 is that the Qnap firmware is now finished and the product is ready to ship. The only problem we now have is that it is now the Chinese New Year so nothing is happening in China for the next two weeks. This product was promised to be with us mid-October 2005 as a lot of you are aware. Qnap want to make sure that this product is the best it can be for the wider audience and this has caused the delay in us launching our version running Slim Server - regardless of if you want their features or not. We are nearly there. It is looking like our shipment will now go out on the 15th February and we will ship a couple of days after they land with us. Thank you for your patience.

Yes, when no artist is selected (or if you type something, then delete it in the search edit-control) it'll display all albums in your collection. It should only be requesting the artwork for the currently displayed albums though, so at most 15 or so albums. Also these first 15 are likely to have been requested before, so should be cached in the thumbs folder.. Is this not what you're seeing ?

Ah, these sound related to SQLite databases being single user only. If you copy the db file to another file, then scan that file instead of the live one, it should work fine. An alternative is to stop slimserver whilst rescanning.

Good Point - to be fair to Slimdevices though SQLite is still the default for now. I suppose the wiki will catch up when MySQL is the default. One of the things that I believe the developers are looking at for the switch is how to automate all this.

[slim] How I got SlimServer v6.2.1 working with MySQL
Warning: I am a PostgreSQL guy, and I don't know beans about MySQL. I also don't profess to be a Linux expert. I can get around in SuSE, but I'm no expert with it either. Understanding that, I thought I would let you know how I got MySQL working, as the Wiki was a great help, but wasn't complete (perhaps I should post this there). First off, I use SuSE, which has to be the easiest Linux in the world. To get MySQL up and running, I start Yast (their installer GUI), picked MySQL, and it installed it for me. No CDs, and a 2 minute install. Did I mention I love Yast? ;-) Then I used WebMin (already installed on the server) to make sure MySQL was indeed running. It was. I used WebMin to create a user in MySQL called "admin", and gave it all the privs I could find. Now I looked at the DB/Tables I would need to create in MySQL. Unfortunately you need to do this by hand, as SlimServer doesn't do this for you when you switch over. Thankfully its all laid out in /usr/local/slimserver/SQL/mysql in a small text file called dbcreate.sql. Note that this file isn't part of SQL, it's just a text file. Then I fired up MySQL by typing "mysql -u admin" which logged me into MySQL as Admin. While inside of MySQL, I needed to create the DB, so I typed "create database slimserver;" to create the database. And then "use slimserver;" to start using it. Now I needed to create the Tables, so I typed "\. /usr/local/slimserver/SQL/mysql/dbcreate.sql". Note the backslash-dot in the beginning. This tells MySQL to read in the text file as a series of commands. This will return a bunch of OKs, indicating it has created all the DB/Tables. Now type "exit ;" to quit MySQL. Now that the DB/Tables are all set up, follow the Wiki's instructions about altering your slimserver.conf file. It will need the username, in my case "admin", the password for that account that I set up when I created the account, and the name the of DB (I used "slimserver" above). Once the config file is edited, stop Slimserver and restart it. Check to see that its still running after 5 seconds. If not, the config file isn't set right to get into MySQL. Check for typos, and also check the privs for the MySQL account (I used "admin"). I had these set wrong on my 1st attempt, and Slimserver wouldn't attach to MySQL, and also would silently crash. If Slimserver stays loaded, go get a cup of coffee and let it automatically read all your songs from disk. I have about 12k of them, and it took under 2 min. No go into the web interface, or fire up your SB, just like normal. You'll notice both interfaces are fast, especially the web interface. Zoom - this back-end with MySQL is super fast! I hope this long email helps out someone who's struggling. Trust me, in the end, its worth the struggle!

[slim] Re: Can't connect to slimserver anymore
I recently came across a similar problem to this with someone's SB3. It always saw the wireless network OK, just couldn't find the SS - I fiddled around for ages and it suddenly connected, but I'm not sure what the problem was or how I sorted it. However, I think it is worth checking and resetting the IP address at both ends. Give the PC an address of 192.168.1.2 and the SB3 192.168.1.3, (the subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0). Then on the SB3 set the gateway to the address of the PC (192.168.1.2) and give it a DNS address provided by your ISP. AFAIK the DNS address doesn't matter unless you are trying to connect to SqueezeNetwork, so do worry if you don't know it. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20399 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The way the script works is when there is a new release of the software there will be a Qnap version also. You drop this in the update directory that will be on the HDD and reboot the machine.

Seriously, i dont know what on earth you are getting at here? What real use a USB connection be? The whole point it this is a streaming device, for streaming music around a house to HiFi equipment. Why would someone want to spend a load of cash to have a SB next to thier PC when they could just play the music off thier PC? Just buy a remote for your PC and you could even by a display for you PC if you don't want you have your monitor on when you are playing music. Maybe 2% of SB owners would find this useful (cant see how myself) but it's harld 'essential'. You have completely missed the point of what this device is for.

I think the only configuration stored in the flash of the SB is things set in the initial configuration or by 'secret' options: MAC ID, DHCP or static? last IP, last gateway, last netmask, last DNS server, last slimserver, wireless encryption key.

Re: [slim] Wep128
What router are you using? Check this page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?RouterStatus ...others may have had problems with it. To start things up, baby steps first. Try connecting with no encryption (temporarily!) If that works, set a very simple WEP 128 key - try "1" or "A" or something simple. Enter it into the Squeezebox, *making sure there are no leading or trailing spaces*. The Squeezebox UI makes it easy to accidentally insert trailing spaces, and will sometimes do this on its own (I think it likes the length of the previous key you entered and adds spaces to keep the length the same). Note just one trailing space will mean a different key and will cause connection failure. To remove a space, press the PLAY key while the cursor is over it. If you can get it to work with a simple WEP key, then there's no reason why it won't work with a more complex key. By the way, you should strongly consider upgrading to WPA. WEP can be cracked in as little as 2 seconds...it deters only casual, accidental connections. --- WilliamHD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'ma new SB owner who is trying to get it to > connect.

Primitive works in this case, IMHO. Just to make it clear: I do agree. I set up the networking with the remote. The 'real' configuration (adding plugins, passwords for last.fm, maybe arranging menus a bit) I do from a web browser... far too many options for a 1 or 2 line UI. I don't see an easy way around the initial setup (which is -very- easy if you have DHCP and a wired connection...). For the rest, there already is a web interface, and it's where all the control is done. (What point would there be in running an HTTP server on the SB when the SB would just have to tell the server what was changed?) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20407 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Windows, depending on configuration, will attempt to dial out if it detects that you are not connected to the internet and need to be for a certain operation. Do you have a cable modem or DSL connection to the internet? Did it fail? In your networking configuration, do you have the option set to dial out on demand when no internet connection is available? If you have a cable modem or DSL you should probably turn this option off. This is probably 99+% unrelated to your other Slimserver problems. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20400 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Command line options for perl script
Hi Mark, Do you have an equivalent script which can be run on Ubuntu / Debian? There is no /usr/local/bin/slimserver (NB you put slimerver) command when it's compiled on Debian, it has to be started via /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl Starting it is fine, with a simple script as posted in these forums by others: #!/bin/sh echo "Starting SlimServer" su - squeeze -c "cd /usr/local/slimserver; ./slimserver.pl --daemon" But I can't find a graceful way to kill the server (which I have to do every few days when the web interface stops responding, as it used to do on RedHat - surprised the developers haven't encountered this themselves?)
