[slim] Re: Linksys's new "Slim-killer"
Hey, if you're happy with that concept, then you don't even need to pay for an expensive wireless bridge thingy, you might as well just get a USB sound card FM transmitter. I've got one at the moment and it works OK, just set up your mp3 player to direct to the usb sound device and not your normal sound card and it broadcasts over FM to your stereo. Same effect but broadcasts to all your stereos at once, only FM quality sound, but still has the same major drawback: you can only control it from your PC, which is why I put my order in for an SB3 last week :-) Besides, running Linux I figure I can configure some way to pipe any sound I want to streamcast or something and get Slimserver to pick that up.

[slim] how can squeezebox turn on a pc
This has stumped me for a while now. When i switch on my squeezebox and press the power button, the pc operating the slimserver switches on. It doesnt come out of standby, it switches on from complete power off. Question is how? How does a computer that is off receive a signal and know what to do with it, I cant understand it as surely the squeexebox would be sending a signal over wireless to my router to be directed to an ip address that was not contactable because the computer was off. Here's the strange part. It only does this if the computer has been totally denied power - switched off at the mains. If i shut down the machine, pressing the power button no longer wakes the server. I'm sure its some sort of technology bt i cannot see how it can work. I could understand if it was waking up a machine that was in standby, but not one that wasnt even switched on.

[slim] Re: Please Help Me (Didnt know where to post)
SlimServer acts as a music server. It streams music to a client that can play it back. Sounds like you're using a software player like WinAmp or foobar as a client. If you call up a software player like Winamp or foobar on your PC and point it to 127.0.0.1:9000/stream.mp3 or :9000/stream.mp3 it will play SlimServer's stream off your own PC. What you need to do is locate your friend's external IP and he needs to locate yours. You will find this listed in your router. Note your ISP may change it at any time. You also need to tell your router to associate a request for a port at the external IP address with the internal IP address of your SlimServer PC. This is port forwarding. So you need to port-forward TCP port 3483, UDP port 3483 and TCP port 9000. See http://www.slimdevices.com/su_faq.html#networking You also need to allow these ports as well as SlimServer in/out and server status in your firewall. Then, to play his music, you enter this into your software player: :9000/stream.mp3 To access his SlimServer, enter this into your browser: :9000 And he needs to substitute your external IP address for this to work on his PC. Note this is a security risk - you now have two ports open to the Internet. You can restrict which IP addresses can connect to SlimServer using Server Settings - Security - Block Incoming Connections. Enter his address in here. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21479 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Recommended UK wireless ADSL routers?
Was running SB2 with Linksys WAG54G ADSL wireless modem/router. Worked OK when connected but sometimes erratic getting that connection. Router is in upstairs front bedroom (wired connection to server) and SB2 downstairs back living room. Only about 6 feet away horizontally and one floor below but in a corner (brick walls/hi-fi/TV/speakers etc) which I think made reception poor. The Linksys went down on its cabled ports on Weds and I bought a Netgear DG834PN - MIMO/108Mbs model - figuring MIMO would give the additional signal strength over the range. Came with a Netgear WPN 511 card which works fine (and very fast) in the laptop. However, the SB2 will not connect with the DG834PN. Tried everything suggested in forums and more. _Have_ had the occasional connection with all security modes turned off but whenever the connection is lost I can't get it back and couldn't run an open network anyway. Tech support has been assisting but don't actually have a DG834PN available to test at the moment and we haven't yet found a solution. Linksys is under warranty and going back for exchange for a current WAG354G but will take a couple of weeks and can't manage with nothing in that time. I could just put the SB away for now and try again with the WAG354G (if it will connect!) What are the best recommended UK ADSL modem wireless routers that have proven rock solid with the SB2?

I've had this problem a couple of times. It sounds like a tag problem. Even if the Album tag looks the same, it sometimes needs forcing for Slimserver to see it as one. Have you tried selecting all the songs in the album in your tagger and forcing the same Album tag on all of them, then doing a full clear library and rescan (not just a find new music scan)?

This has proved to be very stable with my SB1G and SB2. I leave it on all the time, never really had any trouble.

Again, I had a very stable wireless connection with the SB2. However, the Belkin had a tendancy to reboot occasionally with lots of demanding TCP traffic, and the error log system wasn't very good (to avoid problems with the log filling up, the firmware deletes all log entries older than a few minutes). It seems pretty reliable, compared to other ADSL wireless routers though. Phil ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Tags Problem - Duplicate Albums
Thanks very much for the quick help!! Read your suggestion and thought I would just try the "library clear and rescan" option first - didn't know you could do this - and it has done the trick without forcing the album names all the same! Bit strange - surely the normal "new and changed" scan should have picked up on these changed tags - in fact it usually does on other tag changes I have made. Oh well, thanks again for the advice, all is right in the SlimServer world again! -- mwoodroof mwoodroof's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4190 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21486 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Glad to hear it - I know what you mean about "new and changed" - in my experience it only finds "new" music.

I can't get it to crash without the music playing (all the music is Apple Lossless) and a long playlist. So I suspect your analysis is right. It's not all that easy to reproduce on demand - so I suspect it's a combination of a lot of wireless bridging, at the same time as a playlist refresh etc. -- GregD GregD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21264 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] What strategy for FLAC files w/ cuesheets?
I've read most of the threads related to problems with SS and embedded and/or external cuesheets until my head's about to explode. Some date back to almost 2 years ago so I can't easily figure out what the curent state of affairs is. Here are my problems: For some of my CDs (especially some classical CDs) I much prefer to have a single FLAC file vs individual track files. However, SS seems to not know how to deal with them or I haven't set them up correctly. -FLACFrontend will embed a cuesheet but it's nothing more than seekpoints, no additional information about artist, genre or title. -MP3Tag will insert a 'CUESHEET' comment and SS may parse it correctly and sometimes may not. -If I use an external cuesheet, SS will scan the tracks into the database but then I get a 'Cannot open file for:' error from SS. -I've seen posts suggesting seperate comment lines for each track but I don't see how to insert except possibly a FLAC CLI (I do, actually, have a day job). Here are my questions: -Should I use the 6.2.2 version of SS (currently using 6.2.1 on WinXP) and will that fix my problems? -What foolproof cuesheet method can I use that SS can scan to the DB correctly as well as playback w/o complaint? Ripping software I usually use includes EAC along w/ flacattack and FlacFrontend. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I attempt to re-rip my classical music collection.
