[slim] Re: Should crossfading work with synchronised players?
Well, synchronization has been a feature since early in the development of the Slimserver software. Cross-fading is a feature that appeared only first in R6 of the server, corresponding to the SB2 hardware appearing. Most early adopters had SB1s, or mixtures of SB1 and SB2. It isn't possible to cross-fade an SB1, and so if 1s and 2s were synched together, it isn't clear how to do that (or even if it's possible). Initially, cross-fade was turned off if multiple players were synched together. In fact, that's more stringent than is really necessary. If all the machines in a synch group were 2s and 3s, you *could* cross-fade. It would take different logic, because the short pause between songs is used to re-synch all the players, and cross-fading eats that time between songs. There are other possible implementations for cross-fading. But no one's ever written the code to work that out. It doesn't seem to be a priority. If more people vote for it, maybe it will become a priority. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20369 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

squeezeslave is a command line C program to play audio from the slimserver. It has not gui so all player control has to be done using a web browser or another program like Moose. A new release of squeezeslave is available today, you can download binaries for Windows, Linux and OSX from: http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net This is still early release software so you may find some bugs - but I have been happily listening to mp3's using it for several days now on XP. The Linux port (thanks to Duane Paddock) is also known to be good. OSX works, but is not well tested. This release supports: - mp3 playback - sync with mp3 playback - password protected servers - multiple players on one slimserver (use --mac option to set player mac address) It does not support: - flac, aac, wav, etc. (use bitrate limiting to play these formats) - replay gain - high quality mp3 playback (mp3 audio is clipped, but still ok to listen to) - direct streaming (e.g. internet radio) - audio looping (e.g. for short clips) - anything other than 44.1Hz streams - built in ssh tunnelling - cross fading - gain control Feedback welcome.

What version of slimserver are you running ? Two general suggestions (in order of preference): 1. Go the web interface, Server Settings and select the one that say something like "Clear everything and rescan library". Rescan. If problem persists: 2. Stop slimserver. Delete the entire server\Cache directory. Start slimserver. Forces a "scan from scratch".

[slim] Multiple song entries in SlimServer...
Hi everyone, First, my apologies if this is a thread that has already been resolved somewhere on this forum. If so, then I'm obviously not using the right search terms. :) So I have "uninstalled" and reinstalled SlimServer on my RH Linux machine a few different times (don't ask why. :) ), rescanning my iTunes library each time. The strange & frustrating side effect is that SlimServer now thinks there are multiple copies of the same file, when indeed there are not. I'm assuming that my "uninstall" is not truly uninstalling everything...? Any ideas why this is happening, and how I can "scrub" SlimServer so that it corrects my library? I really love this product, but can't & won't use it if I can't fix this. Thank you in advance!

As someone else stated, Windows can be configured (and I believe configures itself by default) to dial up if it detects you are not connected to the Internet when you try to access a URL. It sounds to me like SlimServer is trying to load the resources it needs - web pages, images, etc. - and Windows is interpretting that as an attempt to access the Internet, so Windows dials the modem. There is a way to tell Windows not to dial-up if it detects you aren't connected to the Internet.

Couldn't you do this the other way around? That is, use iTunes to play the stream that SlimServer is generating? Connect iTunes to the SlimServer stream http://ip.address:9000/stream.mp3 Then use the Squeezebox or the Web interface to control what is being played. I think this should work for everything except music purchased from the iTunes Music Store - to play those through SlimServer you'll need to burn to CD and then import from the CD. A pain, but at least it's doable. (I don't have my Squeezebox yet - it's on the truck to be delivered today!

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your support, and for reading through that very long post!
If you're interested in seeing how this would work (I have not yet
implemented the "albumid" part (my step 1) but that would only be
needed if you organize your music some bizarre way), set the "Group
compilation albums together" parameter and then apply the patch below.
You'll have to wipe the cache.
Now back to getting my "sort albums within Browse Artist by year"
patch working in 6.5.

Re: [slim] How I got SlimServer v6.2.1 working with MySQL
Dave Strickler wrote: 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! Thanks for the write-up. I've tried making the switch before without luck, You encouraged me to try again. I've followed instructions on wiki and here in forum, but my scan process only manages to successfully add 17 from 20.000 tracks. Error reports are similar (below) for every unsuccessful track. This is W2000Server, Mysql5.0 and latest ActiveState Perl.

Aye, if you can narrow it down it would be seriously handy.. >From 0.22 to 0.23 I changed the redraw code quite a bit and it seemed to sort the occasional flicker and speed problems I was having on one of my machines..

Actually it wouldnt be too tricky to add to folder scan, but I was wondering if the whole playlist aquisation might be better handled via the CLI, so if you saved new playlists, they'd appear without a rescan, etc..

Hi Pankaj, Unfortunately the followiTunes script is only written for Windows! I think it also does the reverse of what you want - ie it makes SlimServer play whatever iTunes is playing.

I agree. Greg's explanation expresses perfectly how this should be done. Two copies of the same track from the same album, but in different directories should *not* be combined into the same "album".

[slim] Re: Syncing with iTunes/Airtunes/Airport
Hi James I tried ShadowPlay on the SB3; it doesn't work at all. It reports ' Sorry, No other Player to control'. Ofcourse I had iTunes running at the time, streaming SlimServer. I checked your web pages, and I found you've already tried something called 'Follow iTunes', which seems like something I could use? I'd love to try this, but you have a script only, and I'm not a programmer at all! Can I request a complied(?) .pm file, ready to use, like the other plugins available? If there's something I need to do apart from just copying it into my plugins directory, please let me know.
