I have been testing various ways of getting my OLD laptop (166Mhz 80Mb RAM Toshiba 305CDS) to run as a music player from a remote slimserver. This is where I am at: I have an XP machine running Slimserver - no probs. I have a DSL Linux running on the laptop. I can play stuff well using XMMS and a browser - the only exception being the BBC streams from AlienBBC (incidentally I still dont really understand why these wont play if they are being encoded to MP3 at the server end?). I cannot use Softsqueeze with either the GUI or Headless as the machine grinds to a slow but sure halt - CPU 100% (have tried various combinations of jLayer, MP3 Plugin and buffer sizes). Frustratingly I can get snippets of BBC Radio using this method which tells me that Im close...I have pretty much given up here though as I think the machine just doesnt have the guts to run Java. Now along comes SqueezeSlave which I have been testing over the last few days - playing MP3's from my collection is VERY responsive compared to any other method (CPU - 30%) so far although occasionally I do seem to loose the connection or Squeezeslave stops running. Encouragingly I have also played some non-BBC stations from AlienBBC although I do get encode errors showing in the terminal. Suppose I just wanted to encourage the development of this great app and let you know that for some of us it may be our only hope! :~) If there is any constructive feedback I can supply please let me know, bearing in mind that I am pretty new to Linux and the SS world Thanks -- cookeal cookeal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3582 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20799 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Idle thoughts on multiple users, filtering, etc
Hi all
I'm on the verge of ordering my first SB3 (server's built, am now
ripping!) and have been thinking about how to differentiate between my
stuff, my gf's stuff, and the stuff we both have. _'This_thread'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18164)_ seems to be
along the same lines of what I was thinking... at the risk of
re-treading old ground:
*Collections*. ('Libraries' would work too, but I think 'Collections'
is slightly more appropriate :)
A *collection* is simply a set of songs. I might define:
- "Everything" = All music
- "Oktup's songs" = All music WHERE owner CONTAINS oktup
(or maybe)
- "Oktup's songs" = All music WHERE filepath CONTAINS music/oktup/
And so on for other users. But there's nothing to stop you creating
collections for other purposes, too, for example:
- "Polite Company" = All music WHERE genre DOESN'T CONTAIN explicit
AND comments DOESN'T CONTAIN explicit
- "Retroelectro" = All music WHERE year STARTS WITH 198 AND genre IS
IN electro, synthpop, new-wave
- "So last century" = All music WHERE year BEFORE 2000
So basically, collections are pretty much like Smart Playlists. The
difference being, when you pick one, all songs *not* in that collection
no longer exist (or so it seems). Whereas playlists live 'on top' of
your library, collections 'become' your library.
So, if I go to "Change Collection" on my Squeezebox and select "Oktup's
songs", I can browse around the albums, play random tracks etc, without
ever coming across any of my gf's stuff. If I choose the "Polite
Company" collection, I can hand over the remote and leave the room,
safe in the knowledge that the vicar won't accidentally stumble across
"Killing in the Name Of". And so on.
>From a technical POV, this would be enacted by using views on the
database, eg by issuing a CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW bedroom_squeezebox AS
SELECT * FROM whatever WHERE [my_collection_parameters].
The criteria defined for Collections could also be used to filter
selections at any stage of browsing - in effect, becoming Smart
Playlists. So I might Browse Artists, pick They Might Be Giants, then
choose to 'Filter By' 'So Last Century' (leaving me with all TMBG music
released before 2000), then filter again by 'Polite Company', 'Most
Recently Played' and so on. If I 'over-specify' and end up with no
matching songs, I'll get a notification, and will be backed out a
level. I can obviously step back out manually, if desired, eventually
ending up back with the full set of whatever 'root collection' I had
currently selected.
Similar, but complementary, would be 'ownership' in the security sense,
where every item has an owner(s) and can be made public/shared/private
as appropriate. But I'll stop waffling for now. Does that make sense?
Is it intuitive or rubbish? Any improvements?

Re: [slim] Idle thoughts on multiple users, filtering, etc
I definitely support your request for some sort of library/collection/profile system. In particular, I think the idea of defining collections as some of filtered specification of the entire database of scanned tracks has quite a bit of merit. Whether the filter keys of path, user, or some other attribute such as a tag is up for discussion. I'm not sure there's a clear winner, but I tend to think about this in terms of paths to music directories. Combine this with the ability to define profiles(users) and connect profiles to whichever of these paths they like and I think you've gone a long way to solving this. Some means of indicating which profile should be active would needed for both the web and player UI. Interestingly, these profiles wouldn't need to be defined just for individuals. They could be defined for moods, styles, periods, party themes, etc. There has been discussion of this before, but as the feature is still pending, I don't think it's out of bounds to continue it. Some references: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15651 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15652 And there are some bugzilla bug IDs for related enhancements mentioned in those threads. Implementation of this feature is highly dependent on having a database that performs well for filtered queries and with multiple concurrent users. It's likely that some of the delay in getting this out has had to do with sorting all of those bits first. Getting SS on mySQL should open up the possibilities. --rt ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I think you can use it unregistered for 30 days of unlimited functionality. It doesn't currently function as a GUI for Slimserver, but I and others have requested that. What it does best is analyze your music library and create playlists for you based on tracks you select. You can choose how varied the playlists will be and whether transitions will be smooth or jagged. I usually create 100-song playlists based on a single song or group of songs. It does a very good job, and I really like the fact that it finds tracks that I would never think of putting into a particular playlist. It really opens up your collection for you and allows you to hear things you otherwise wouldn't. It also automates the time-consuming task of manually creating playlists. -- Kyle Kyle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2541 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21106 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Fun Squeezebox Tricks I: Slimserver as Radio Tivo
There is a nifty, free Windows program called Screamer Radio that features built-in recording of internet radio streams. It comes with a bunch of station presets, but it's easy to add your own stations. It does not do timer recording, but it can record continuously and save each track as a separate file. For some stations which include the info, it even correctly names the files for you. Possibly the best way to use it is to simply hit the record button when you hear a song you like - even if the song is almost over, you'll get the full track, due to a large memory buffer. www.screamer-radio.com -- Pale Blue Ego Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21084 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Make sure you are using MMM v1.5, since I think the older version had problems sending playlists to SB. Also, make sure you have slimserver running before starting MMM. In MMM, right click on the play button in gui to select SB. Could also try -slim command line option when starting MMM. I am running MMM v1.5a with Slimserver 6.2.1 on Linux and able to send mixes to two SB3's without any problems. Although, I had no success with the previous released version of MMM. BTW, the MMM API service does not have to be running unless you want to do the mixes from SB remote or gui. I would recommend getting other pieces working first before running the API service.

[slim] Can't connect wireless SB on WPA, only WEP!
Have had couple of SB2's for 6 months or so and love them! Setup on wireless network was no problem, used WPA security, and been generally fine since. Recently the SB displays went black as when Slimserver down or network connection drops. Usually reboot of router is all it takes. This time however, I just couldn't re-establish connection. Tried restart of Slimserver, upgrade to latest release, reboot of router and upgrade of router firmware - nothing! SB network setup went fine, found wireless network etc. until they tried to obtain IP addresses. Kept coming up with IP addresses outside the range usually assigned by router, and then couldn't 'see' music source or Slimserver. Trawled through the forums and tried various suggestions, even though most problems were with connecting to or seeing the network in the first place, and nothing worked. Only got them to connect correctly when I change network security from WPA (which I'd been using fine since I got the SB's) to 128bit WEP. Now working OK, but it's really bugging me. I use another wireless PC and a tablet, and would prefer to go back to WPA encryption. As far as I know, none of the settings on the SB or network had been changed before the problem ocurred.

If you want the two to integrate (i.e. create a MM mix from within Slimserver) then I believe they have to be on the same machine. However, I have the same set up as you (MM on Windows laptop and Slimserver and music on Linux NAS) and use the following workround: 1. Point MM at network share and let it analyse music. 2. Create and save mix on windows laptop. 3. The problem is that MM sees all the files as "T:/My Music/file" and Slimserver as "//mnt/share/My Music/file", so the playlists won't work in Slimserver when I rescan. 4. Answer is to run a quick script that converts the "T:/My Music" bit to "//mnt/share" and resaves the playlist in the directory that Slimserver looks for playlists in. I wrote a very basic one, but the most user friendly I've since discovered is at http://www.joejaworski.com/m3u/ 5. Rescan playlists only in Slimserver, and the MM mix appears there. A few more clicks for sure, but nothing that bothers me too much.

Hi I've got squeezebox 2's, running on a Netgear DG834GT ADSL Router, Windows XP. When the SB's stopped working, I wasn't aware of having made ANY changes any settings, either to the network, SB or slimserver. In trying to re-establish a connection I upgraded Slimserver to 6.2.2. When I eventually got them running the SB's automatically upgraded to firmware version 29. To be honest, I tried so many steps to get them running again, I'm not sure which was the most crucial. But when I had finally re-established connections on WEP, I reset the network and squeezeboxes to the original WPA setup - I got the same erroneous IP addresses and was unable to connect to the PC/Slimserver. When I switched back to WEP everything was OK.

Videobox basically just does this:
$wmplayer = Wx::ActiveX::WMPlayer->new( $this , -1 , wxDefaultPosition
, wxDefaultSize );
$wmplayer->PropSet("FileName","/movie.mpg") ;
$wmplayer->Play;
That works for .mpg, .mp3, .avi, etc.
Not much to fix there, me thinks.

Because of the way it works, it may be valuable to have a program that can set the last modified time of files. I have one that's a Windows Explorer extension that I sometimes use after editing tags. Some programs automatically preserve the modified time. I think metaflac does this, and IIRC flac.exe also stamps the same modified date/time on flac files as the original WAV.

[slim] Old SLiMP3 - New Squeezebox
I just had to say here how happy I am with my new Squeezebox 3, and the 6.2.2 release of SlimServer. I have been a vocal critic at times here in the past, as I was peeved about drop outs and skips in my SLiMP3 player on the 6.1/6.2.1 Slimserver releases. BUT today was a very good day. Before my "3" showed up, I gave the 6.2.2 bug fix a run and it seemed to play nice with the SLiMP3. A few drops, but mostly responsive enough. Then the "3" showed up. Wonderful design, wonderful display, simple set up. Bigger buffer = no drops at all. XM Plug in (Thanks Phil), and I can stream those stations. And I have more to explore. You guys ROCK!

[slim] Buffering and live streams
The comments in the server health page seem to imply that there is little or no buffering of live streams. IMHO, this is a mistake if its true. It guarantees that small connection hiccups will be audible. Of course, there is no way to "get ahead" with a live stream. If you buffer, you must delay the start. But I suspect that an adjustable buffer delay would make live audio more robust for anyone without a perfect set up. I would guess that a few seconds would do it for most set ups.

[slim] PLAY not working well on remote
SB1 Server 6.2.1 The play button seems very unresponsive but not all the time. When using lastfm or any internet radio for that matters, PLAY works fine. When adding one song while browsing thru my music folders (I havent had time to retag everything) PLAY works fine and plays that one song. However, when I browse my music folder and try to PLAY a group like Led Zeppelin (as illustrated in the manual on page 11) most of the time nothing happens. I'll hit the play button repeatedly, still nothing happens. Once in awhile it will work and all the albums (only 3! So its not a lot of music like trying to play everything in my rock folder) from Led Zeppelin will be added to my playlist. Every other button works fine and quick and the play button does work great when wanting to play a single song, internet radio, etc but when trying to play a group it continues to be unresponsive. I did a quick search and read about some other folks having a slow response with their remotes with the newer server software but mines really not responsive in all aspects, just with the PLAY button and dealing with adding a whole album or a few albums to the playlist. It also seems that the + button is just as unresponsive as the play button under the circumstances stated above. Any ideas?
