[slim] Latest Beta
Hello all, Reading all the threads has inspired me to upgrade from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2 though I cannot seem to find install files for Windows environment. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 6.2.1 does appear to work flawlessly for me so why upgrade I wonder? Just because I can I suppose!

Have you tried doing a search for all files called *.flac ?

[slim] Re: Best way to use both SB2 and sound card?
You don't have to switch, both work independently of each other. Your soundcard gets its source files from any playback application like foobar or Winamp. Your SB2 gets its source files from SlimServer. At first I thought you meant you wanted to synchronize the two. But that wouldn't make much sense - headphones on the computer while you're there and stereo audio in your living room? If you did want to do this, you could either use 'Softsqueeze' (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169package_id=113211) or 'squeezeslave' (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169package_id=176494) and synch them to the SB2. squeezeslave will probably synch better than Softsqueeze, but there's no GUI. You can, of course, play SlimServer-streamed files in a streaming audio player like foobar or Winamp but these programs will have a significant buffering delay, making synch impossible. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21918 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Moose 0.25 now up
So I decided to drink the Kool-Aid and tried Moose. I guess the thing that was holding me back was .NET. Last time I installed it, it was pretty obnoxious, adding a user, lengthening boot-up time, etc. So I armed myself with a complete system and registry backup and found relevant web pages for automatic logon. .NET 2.0 is a huge improvement. No impact on boot-up times and no annoying 'ASP .NET' user. And Moose? Wow! What a cool app! Fast, efficient, clean, uncluttered UI, bug-free. Up and running in two minutes flat. At first I thought seeing as I still have to run SlimServer, why try Moose? but I realize that Firefox with the SlimServer interface loaded takes up 23 MB, Moose takes up 10 MB - so SS + Moose is lighter. Rescan is FAST! 1900 tracks in 2 seconds! Whoa! I thought I missed something and rescanned again, which barely blinked up on the screen. I have a few minor niggles: 1. Stop does not work. Pause does, but pressing the Stop button on the bottom right has no effect. 2. Changing players is not as intuitive or simple as other operations. I guess this has to be done by the radio button in preferences? Personally I'd prefer a simple button somewhere in the main UI. Something that would call up a drop-down list. 3. I couldn't get the external tagger to work (Mp3tag). It errored out with a German dialog. I've seen this issue mentioned before, I just have to look for the solution. 4. It waits a fairly long time for the server response when starting up. 10-15 seconds. No big deal, but I thought there was a problem when I first started it. I haven't experienced any problems others have experienced like flickering when dragging or excessive processor usage.

Ah...Moose seems to work fine with playlists SlimServer has generated, but when I try to get Moose to generate a playlist on its own, problems. It seems that Moose has not picked up any tags. No Artist or Album tags. They are all labelled Artist My Documents, Album My Music. All songs are length 0 and nothing will play. I guess this is due to the flat directory structure I'm using. I have never seen the need for multiple directories and I have everything in one directory. This has never caused problems for SlimServer so I haven't thought twice about it.

Sorry, I'm stumped. I'm on a similar (slightly later perhaps) build... SlimServer Version: 6.2.2 - 5549 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 ... and I can't reproduce your problem. I go Browse Albums - A Compilation Album - track listing in the browser, they come up in the right order. Can I suggest having a REALLY good look at your tags? Use Mp3tag to check to see if you have ID3 tags as well as Vorbis comments, perhaps? I think that can confuse slimserver... If that doesn't show something up, have a look in the database itself (eg with the SQLite browser), and/or turn debug on while you completely rescan your library (you might want to set up a test library with just a handful of albums in - make sure you have some normal as well as compilations in there or you'll trigger another error).

WPA/TKIP is a reasonably secure and practical option for the VAST majority of their customers. While it's true that WPA may have been a design compromise, it's a rather good one. And if tools do emerge that enable Joe Sixpack to hack WPA, you can bet Slim will place more emphasis on a timely fix. I'm genuinely curious, why are you chomping so hard for AES? Is your Squeezebox on a business essential network? If so, it might be a good idea to move it to a dedicated wireless segment. For what it's worth, Slim is not notably behind the curve with 802.11i. The vast majority of SOHO WLANs are still using WEP. In due time, I'm sure they will have it working. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Remote connection causes playback of only the first 5 seconds of songs
When I connect to my slimserver using SSH from work (with softsqueeze OR foobar2000 pointed at /stream.mp3 through a tunnel) only the first 5 seconds of each song plays before skipping to the next song in the playlist. I've tried bitrate limiting at 64kps with no change in the behavior. Does this just indicate I don't have enough bandwidth, or could it be something else? I don't have the problem at home. I found one post a couple of weeks ago (with no responses) that had the same problem, but I'm unable to find it again.

Oh, the original question about using SSH tunnels was from another poster. A responder suggested solving the problem with a VPN, so I offered my configuration as a working example of slimservice over VPN from a far-away slimserver. I've accessed my slimserver from various places; work, parents' house, friends' houses, even over Verizon's EVDO network and was able to use uncompressed FLAC in all cases except EVDO (where I had to turn the bitrate down to =128 kbps). Slimserver uses http to stream music data, which is nice because it's relatively low overhead. I agree with your point though, that you do need a decent broadband connection for this to work without bitrate limiting. Since the SB doesn't support ssh directly, an ssh tunnel would require a laptop, which is apparently vacation contraband for the original poster... -- rudholm rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21890 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Wireless network fails after half hour playing FLACs
I scanned all the messages, but don't think anyone has mentioned heat might be the culprit. I know some folk have said that has been an issue with their particular router, but don't know about the Belkin. A good place to check would be the forums at http://www.dlsreports.com in their hardware forums. If it is heat, perhaps you can position the router so it can exchange heat more efficiently...e.g. keep it out of any enclosures or position it so it stands up vertically instead of horizontal. If there's not much opportunity for better cooling and heat is the issue, then you prolly need a new router.

[slim] Album Artist versus Artist behavior
I have a number of albums where the Album Artist is different from the Artist. For example, Prince's Graffiti Bridge has a couple of songs where the Artist is The Time, while the Album Artist is Prince. I would like for Slimserver to not show these artists when browsing by artist; I'd rather just have it list them all under Prince. Is this possible (other than by changing the Artist name from The Time to Prince)? My files are in WMA lossless format, in case that makes a difference (I thought I remember reading that there is a bug in SlimServer when dealing with the Album Artist tag for WMA files)? -- Jon Jon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2848 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21944 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
