I bought a Hawking technology high-gain directional antenna with the intention of replacing the antenna on my wireless router.

The result is that I stream (with signal strength around 60%) approx. 600 ft from one side of our 10 acre property to the other.

[slim] Defaulting to the clock when SlimServer shuts down
Hi all, I am using an SB3 with a laptop computer that I turn off regularly - I try to be conservative in my power usage. Whenever I shut off the computer, my SB3's screen goes blank. I'm wondering if there's any way to get the SB3 to automatically go into "clock" mode whenever it can't connect to the SlimServer. I like the clock display, and since I haven't got any other clocks in my living room, it would be a nice option. I realize that I could get the clock to show by connecting to the Squeezenetwork, but I never think to do this (I am lazy), and think it would be a great benefit if the SB3 just somehow defaulted to clock mode of its own volition. I take it that it has to get the time from either the SlimServer or Squeezenetwork, and that it can't just store the time on its own, correct?

[slim] iPod Hi-Fi Box + Squeezebox + Pandora Box = Joy!
I received an iPod Hi-Fi Box today along with another SB3, in black. Listening to "The Girl From Ipanema Radio" on Pandora Radio. What an experience! The Squeezebox and Hi-Fi first of all, look fantastic together. Same frontal silhouette, scaled up. Same curves. No visible buttons or knobs on either. The Hi-Fi has capacitance-sensitive volume spots. Square S/PDIF to mini-plug optical connection. The sound is extremely clear, with a tight acoustic suspension sound (though it is a ported design). Intimate imaging, probably due to the unusual experience of high quality drivers playing so close together. Can play loudly yet cleanly. When you add Pandora Radio to the mix, I can't imagine a simpler, more uncluttered, and mindless way to enjoy great music. I don't have 6 D-cells on hand, but I have a set of 11,000 mAH NiMH's on order. I've read that the maximum volume gets limited under DC power, but to my ears there is plenty of reserve. This thing could rock in a vacation house.

[slim] Re: How far will the wireless signal carry?
I've gotten 802.11b to go most of 200 feet inside my factory, but the last 50 feet or so were at low signal strength. That was a standard Linksys WAP (but not with the supplied antenna - I was using the longer ones you can buy from Linksys) and a laptop card with no antenna. Through 1 concrete wall and open air for the rest (although with plenty of heavy metal machinery in the intervening space). If you have one particular place you want to reach in your woods (and it sounds like you do), google for cantenna (http://tinyurl.com/kwuak) and check out the first half a dozen listings for the original cantenna and a number of cheap (under $10) DIY alternatives. These are all basically static directional antennas. Or check out the Belkin Pre-N wireless - these are essentially antenna arrays that are dynamically set to the right direction for your needs. Be aware that the last is based on a pre-release version of 802.11N (hence the name). The spec isn't finalized yet, and may change in final form, so you *may* wind up with something different from the final standard. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21626 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Also, you'll see see much less of a performance difference within the music system itself due to running on this or that hardware or operating system.

I looked at pulling out the stuff to do with Wireless from the BeginnersGuideToNetworks into a separate page, as discussed previously, but I fear there might be a bit of overlap between this and your new page.

[slim] Re: Streaming over internet with Treo problem.
Doesn't the Treo have any sort of utility to list its MAC address? Like System Settings or something? I'm sure there are other applications to determine MAC addresses, but one that works for me is 'AirSnare' (http://home.comcast.net/~jay.deboer/airsnare/). Although it's intended to identify wireless intruders, it will list all MAC addresses on your network. Connect your Treo to your home network and since you can determine the MAC address of your router, your modem, all your computers and all your Squeezeboxes you can determine the Treo's MAC address by process of elimination. Sorry, no idea regarding your other questions. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21560 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Two fields in the Tracks table I had not included were "FS" and "Sec" (or is it "Secs"?). Apparently, these fields need to be non-zero to get Slim to fire the tracks. I now use "1000" as a value for these fields, and all seems to work. I'm not sure why Slim crapped out on me after working as it was, but I did do a lot of futzing in recent days, and so that may have killed something.

Works much better than the SQLite support, but obviously you need to have MySQL'd your slimserver for it to work (well worth it !) * I've moved Moose from .Net 1.1 to .Net 2.0.. Feels much quicker and internally things are a bit nicer too.. * Re-jigged the NowPlaying UI again - added a menubar, removed some buttons, tidied up the remaining buttons, added bitmaps, etc.. Oh, and cover-art now resizes as you resize the window. * Added an Amazon lookup feature which attempts to find the currently playing album.

[slim] Re: Enhancement requests for Classical or complex music collections
Tom Agreed that the SHUFFLEMODE idea is a bit clumsy. WORK is better, as you say you could have an assumption that WORK=TRACK if absent. You'd still have to modify the code that creates the database and populates it during the scanning process (which would be a good time to make the WORK=TRACK assignment). This means that a standalone plugin would not be enough, using this approach. Whereas using a genre value would not require any change to the database or scanning process, so could definitely be done as a plugin (or amendment to an existing one, more likely). Also agreed that simply using the CLASSICAL genre would not always work, I think a userdefinable Genre would be better - I meant that having this facility would at least open the option up for someone to use CLASSICAL as a quick fix. I'm sufficiently curious that I might even have a look myself...

[slim] Re: Control SlimServer _from_ iTunes
Hi Anton, I'll definitely try out your script. I am considering getting a Squeezebox 3 as I think it is a cool device with great sound - so they say. While one can of course access SlimServer through the remote on the Squeezebox, I think in certain situations it is easier to select the music that is streamed to the box from the computer (Mac in my case). However, I do not like the web interface of SlimServer too much, hence, I was looking for a way to use the iTunes front end with its handy music searching, browsing and playlist mgmt features to control what is being streamed from SlimServer to the Squeezebox. Am I understanding correct, that your script is exactly solving my problem?

[slim] Problem with DHCP client and list in web interface.
The web browser page shows, in the upper right corner, a drop-down list of all available players. The problem I have is that my Palm Treo always has a new IP and I have to go in and delete the old player and set up a new one every time. I would also think this would be a problem for anyone traveling unless they set it by MAC address. My Treo doesn't have a MAC address but does have a dynamically assigned IP adddress. So, is there a way to have a wildcard in the IP address? Something like this: 70.70.*.*? Otherwise, I have it streaming to my phone and laptop perfectly.

[slim] Re: Enhancement requests for Classical or complex music collections
Nearly. I think there is an unnecessary and undesirable extra layer of indirection in the scheme Ceejay suggests. If there is going to be an extra tag, it should just be WORK, rather than an indicator of whether WORK=ALBUM or WORK=SONG. (That requires you to respect the ALBUM=WORK convention. But if you are going to the trouble of adding an extra tag anyway, you don't need to.) For ordinary songs, either you could set WORK to the same value as TITLE in ripping; or it could just be a convention that if WORK is missing, it means the work is the song. As I said, I don't think major surgery on SlimServer itself is needed. Really I'd just like a plug-in, or even a standalone program, that makes a random list of WORKs. But, no, probably not enough to write it, nor, therefore, enough to lobby hard for someone else to write it. The slight trouble with using GENRE=CLASSICAL as the indicator is that there are some discs that you would probably call CLASSICAL, tag as a single ALBUM, and yet _not_ want handled as single WORKs: e.g., 10 tenor arias in a row (by Gigli, of course). -- tom permutt tom permutt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1893 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18946 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

But the symptoms he described in his original post sound truly non-random. I have seen similar issues, although only at the artist or album level, not the track level. The frequency with which a given artist or album is repeated in the same playlist, especially near each other in the same playlist, seems too high to be random.

Thank you for your reply. I have good news and bad news. I installed alac and after a few guesses at what to put in convert.conf got it working with lots of dropouts.

But if I do this on the command line of my server: alac file.m4a | flac -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 - > file.flac file.flac will play fine on my squeezebox.

I have a NetGear antenna attached to my SB2 (which is probably not necessary for the range I'm using, but at one time it solved some problems for me) and it works a treat. I think the SB3 only has internal antennas though, so it's probably not as simple with the newer hardware :( Incidentally the antenna is only attached to the SB2 because I've had two wireless bridges fail on me in the past year; so the SB has stepped up to being a bridge as well as a music player - I can't thank SlimDevices enough for throwing this extra feature in!
