I, too, just got my n770 and spent about 3 hours last night streaming and "remoting" from my Slimserver install in my basement.

[slim] I know I've asked this before, but.... (!)
Hi all A while back I commented that on my system (currently running SS 6.2.2 - 5448 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252, with a "SB3") if an album was a "compilation" album then the server would not list the tracks in track order. I thought this might have been an iTunes/mp3 issue so have held off whilst I converted over to FLAC, but it still persists. To clarify via the web browser (Firefox 1.0.7) - in the left hand pane, viewing a compilation album (FLAC) the tracks are not in number order but seem to be ordered by the performing artist alphabetically. However, if the album is selected to play as a whole then the tracks appear correctly in the player pane on the right hand side. Also the SB3 itself lists the tracks in correct order, even when browsing the album itself (like viewing the left pane on the browser). Is there a way to correct this behaviour?

[slim] Why is rescan playlists taking so long?
Hi, I'm working on a Perl script to copy MusicMagic generated playlists from my WinXP PC to be copied and converted to a Linux SlimServer-like playlist. Once the playlist is generated, my script will notice it, convert it and copy it in the proper directory for the slimserver and then it requests the slimserver to rescan the playlist folder through the CLI interface. My music collection is large (~17000 tracks) but my playlist directory contains 1 test playlist of 10 songs and yet, slimserver will be busy rescanning the playlist folder for several minutes (10 or more?). It seems it might be scanning more than just the playlist folder. is this normal and if so, why? Is there a better way to get that new/modified playlist into the slimserver (using the CLI interface from within my script)? I'm running the latest 6.2.2 nightly from about a week ago.

Actually, many (most?)

What version of Firefox? I tested it extensively in Firefox 1.5 on both Linux and Windows and I don't see the player control issue. Browse artwork is a different matter-- on mine it crashes slimserver (crash is not related to the skin)! If anyone seeing issues with Firefox can post additional information (javascript console errors, screenshots, etc), I will try to take a look at it. Feel free to use IE to see if you have a Firefox-only issue, but I won't fix any IE-specific bugs. While I'm mostly focused on supporting the 770, I think this skin, or perhaps eventually some fork/derivation of it, holds a lot of promise as a more general interface. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Wireless network fails after half hour playing FLACs
Hi, I have just started trying to use FLAC files as I think this is the best option for ripping my CD collection at Hi Fi quality. However I have hit a problem. To be fair I think the problem is with my wireless router (a Belkin F5D6230-3), not my SB3, but I thought that everyone on this forum is so helpful this would be a good starting point! Basically, when I play MP3s, the system works fine, have played for a 3+ hours with no problem. However, now I started using FLACs, after about half an hour or so of playing, the connection to the SB3 is dropped as my router fails (the router totally hangs - the internet connection fails too). A simple power cycle of the router gets everything up and running again, but obviously this is a major pain! I am guessing this is something to do with the large FLAC file size, and that once the router has streamed over a certain amount of data it is failing - that would explain why MP3s will play for a long time but FLACs always hang the network quite soon. I have looked at a few forums and tried changing the wireless network channel - it was originally on ch11, I have now tried ch1 and ch6 as I understand these are "non-overlapping" (or something similar!) and the best to try, but this has not made any difference. For information I am using 64 bit WEP encryption. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and suggestions as to what I should try next? Maybe this is a better question for a wireless networking forum - can anyone point me at a good one?

Mark Lanctot Wrote: > I have also heard of people using 'Proxomitron' > (http://www.proxomitron.info/) for this, but the program seems to be a > "web-filtering proxy", whatever that is. :-) That was me. For those interested, a proxy is a service that makes requests on behalf of a program (network client). For example, rather than having your browser make direct connections to websites, it instead makes requests to the proxy service, which itself then makes the requests on behalf of the client. This is useful in a variety of situations, ranging from security, access control, and caching commonly accessed content to reduce download traffic. Once your network client (eg. your web browser) is configured to connect to the Proxomitron proxy instead of via direct connection, Proxomitron acts as a middleman, and makes the web requests and passes the results to the client. The web-filtering capabilities in Proxomitron allow real-time injection / deletion of content. This allows users to customize what is ultimately presented to their browsers or passed to web servers. A common example is the removal of banner ads, blocking ad sites, or modifying styles sheets, all based on user-defined custom rules. The key aspect of Proxomitron that I indicated was its log capability. You can capture and see all the requests your browser makes to a web server, and all the replies sent back to the browser. This gives you a quick ability to view the ULRs oft-hidden within javascript, service-side cgi's, etc. You open the log just before connecting to the station, make the connection, and then just search the log for the streaming URLs. -- MrC MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21503 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Multiple Library Question (Ape + Ogg)
Hi, I'm running slimserver on a linux box and have all my music on an external hardrive which has two partitions. My first partition is a big drive where I store all my lossless music (monkey audio). My second partition is where I convert all the ape files to ogg files, plus I add all my misc. other audio files, podcasts, random mp3 files, etc. I do this so I can sync my iriver portable player to a backup harddrive space. Since the .ape & .ogg files are sort of duplicates, and I put a link in the lossless drive to the lossy drive, I get duplicates of every files since I have 1 ape and 1 ogg for every ripped song. My question is, is there is any option to get rid of the .ogg files in my library, or do I have to sort out all the other random music files (not oggs) separately and add them to the slimserver library in a separate file from the oggs?

[slim] Re: Wireless network fails after half hour playing FLACs
This same sort of thing happened to me when attempting to use the Zyxel P-330W as my wireless router. I was actually using 3 of them--2 as wireless Ethernet bridges (for a couple of wired-only SB2s and some other devices) and 1 as a wireless router. The ones that I used as bridges worked flawlessly, but the wireless router would reboot every time I tried to stream music to the SB2 that was more than about 192kbps (including, of course, FLACs). I was sure that the router was rebooting, too--I checked the logs on the unit to confirm. I concluded that the P-330W was unstable under load as a wireless router, so I replaced it with a Linksys WRT54G v5, which has worked great. Since making that change a couple months ago, I haven't had a single wireless network instability with the WRT54G or either of the P-330W units. So...you're probably right. This is more of a wireless network under load issue. Your Belkin unit likely isn't stable (for whatever reason) when under significant load. Good luck resolving it--I decided to throw money at the problem to make it go away.

I'm having problems getting the SlimServer to scan a particular album correctly. The album folder contains 16 mp3 files and a cover.jpg Symptom: When I Browse Artwork the album shows up with a placeholder, even though I have set up the server to not show placeholders. When I then click the placeholder the album view does have a picture. And sometimes after a rescan the album view contains duplicate entries for some of the songs. My testing: 1) Enabeling debugging (d_scan and d_artwork) and performing a full scan. The log is too big to see any scan info, but the artwork info looks correct (looks like all the other albums). Are there any way to see more of the log? 2) Placing another cover.jpg in the folder (From an album without this problem). Full scan. Same result. 3) Making a new music folder with only this album. Full scan. Problem gone. 4) Moving album to test server (only album on the server). Full Scan. No problem. I have had the problem for some time.

Check the songs in the album list and make sure they're all what they're supposed to be and that a 'foreign' track didn't sneak in.

[slim] Re: Slimserver CPU consumption
This isn't necessarily a "best practice", but merely what works for me. I use the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option under "Preferences-Advanced" in iTunes. Sure, I could do the organization myself by creating subdirs, etc., but this feature is too convenient and I am too lazy, so I use it. Downside of this is that iTunes makes changes to the library dir/file structure any time you: -- Change a song title -- Change an album title -- Change an artist name -- Mark/unmark an album as "Part of a compilation". -- Change track/disc number Unfortunately, I find this frequently necessary because of errors in the CDDB database. So, trouble with SlimServer happens under the following scenario: -- You import a CD using iTunes -- SlimServer scans that new entry (I believe by reading the iTunes .xml library file, not sure if these are entered into the Slim tag database but I think so) -- You make one of the changes above in iTunes -- SlimServer rescans your iTunes library What happens to me in this case is that SlimServer will show duplicate song titles. Inspecting the file info shows that one of these is a pointer to the original song file/path, which no longer exists. As far as I could tell, this is what was causing my occasional high CPU usage. There is a reference to this general scenario in the Troubleshooting section of the FAQ: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_faq.html#troubleshooting-lockup Adding music in iTunes doesn't cause a problem. Creating/changing playlists doesn't cause a problem. Changing other iTunes song info like rating, comments, etc. doesn't cause a problem since Slim doesn't consider these without additional plugins. So, the safest thing is if you have been doing library management in iTunes, force a "Clear and rescan library" in SlimServer. Only by doing this will it remove the broken pointers to non-existent files. With a big library, it takes a while, so I usually do it before I turn in for the night. HTH. I haven't seen this exact discussion before, but that FAQ entry really helped me sort things out. gb -- gbreit gbreit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4304 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21723 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Multiple Library Question (Ape + Ogg)
Hmm, jph and aubuti, thanks for the help so far. I kinda figured something like this would be the "solution", although I'm still open to any other options. This seems like it's a feature request, although I'm not sure how popular it would be and I know a lot of others are waiting on different features. Basically the feature would be, if two files have the same file name (minus extension), and tag info (artist-album-song), prioritize a list. Say flac/ape/Apple-lossless beats out mp3/aac/ogg/... for a spot in the library, but if a(n) mp3/aac/ogg/... files exists without a lossless counterpart, include that file in the library. There are problems with this, I know, like wav and aiff don't have tag info, so who wins between say wav and flac? Who wins between ape and flac? but the general idea would solve this problem.

I will return to that problem when I have solved the current problem.

[slim] Re: Slimserver CPU consumption
There is a setting as well that controls how often SlimServer checks for changes in the iTunes XML file, you may want to increase it. Otherwise the first change in iTunes triggers a rescan, but since you are still changing things in iTunes it will start again as soon as the rescan finishes. I also think I noticed cases where scanning was in progress despite the server not mentioning it in the GUI. And this can lead to some issues in rescan control... So I would suggest this to get back on tracks, or whenever you do major iTunes housekeeping: - Stop slimserver - Delete caches - Do whatever you need to do in iTunes, then quit it - Launch Slimserver - It will rebuild the DB, this takes some time. Also make sure that the directory for files set on the server matches your iTunes library or is empty, otherwise the server sometimes try to scan both. With 6.2.1 and a large library, iTunes interfacing is not really "seamless".

I have been having similar problems with slow and sometimes unreliable scans. Re-Scanning is generally slow for me since I access the drive from an NAS. However I delete and rescan everytime I add songs because often times the scan only (no delete) option do not register the changes. It would be really helpful if there is a counter/indicator that shows how many songs are read, how many changed and how many added etc. Or something like a % indicator. Also would be helpful if it shows where it is reading the data from Etc.
