I made no adjustments to my system before the copying ie no port forwarding added and firewalls left on. ZA Pro on donor machine and the Linksys router firewall also on. I think I may be being a bit thick here but I still don't understand why my Squeezebox can see all my files on the TS-101 but the server is not actually streaming them. The slimserver says its to do with not blocking port 9000 but I don't see why port forwarding needs to be set up when all this stuff is inside the network behind the router. -- Trumper1 Trumper1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20393 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I submit that we know quite a lot about the behavior, and that having this information in a wiki would save people a lot of time and angst; when I was trying to debug this for myself, I spent hours wading through way too many forum entries trying to piece together how to make "various artists" work ... and eventually stumbled on a post that mentioned the WMA bug. What do we know: 1. How we think it is "supposed" to work, as described earlier in this thread. 2. The code is buggy, so it may not work as you expect it to. 3. If your files are WMA, it will definitely not work as you expect it to. 4. The first step is to set "Group compilation albums together" and "List albums by band" ... and pray. 5. If that doesn't work, use T&R to set the "Compilation" tag, or create an arbitrary tag if you are using another tagging tool. 6. Once you've done this, you need to rescan, but rescanning for "new and changed" music does not always work so it is better to "clear library and rescan everything" and best to just stop slimserver, delete the cache, and restart. 7. Some non-compilation albums still have multiple artists and may cause you some grief (which was the original question posed in this thread). I think the above (with more details added) all belongs in the wiki, which can be modified in the future if things ever get better.

I highly recommend using www.MusicBrainz.org and the helper application that you can download from that homepage: http://musicbrainz.org/tagger/index.html It will scan all your MP3 files and set the ID3 tags correctly. Now you know what the songs really are, in case they were named/tagged incorrectly. It can also (if you so choose) move the verified MP3 files away from their current location and into a directory structure that you can configure. So if you have everything in "C:\unsorted", it can sort your files into "C:\sorted\artist\album\title.mp3" or whatever you like. I have used it on my 15.000 mp3's with great success. Only downside is that it only works with mp3, not WMA. -- TorbenGB Server: SlimServer 6.2.2 on WinXP SP2 Players: three SB3 (wifi) with firmware 35 TorbenGB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4443 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22025 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Suddenly can't connect to web ui from networked computer ?
Has anyone got any bright ideas on the following: I recently set up a dedicated music server running slimserver on XP, wired connection to router, static IP "192.168.0.104". I also have a laptop which connects wirelessly to the router. When I logged in this morning, I could access the web ui on the dedicated server via localhost:9000 and on the laptop via "192.168.0.104:9000". Suddenly, I can't access the web ui from the laptop - the connection just times out. I've tried rebooting both laptop and server several times. I've checked that incoming connections aren't blocked in the Security tab of Server Settings, (in any event, my network IP range is "allowed"). My network is also the "trusted" range of my firewall, and doesn't show up as being blocked in any of the logs in any event. I've tried with the firewall switched off and uninstalled as well - still no joy. I haven't made any changes or installed any programs on either machine. The problem is the same on Windows Explorer and Firefox and changing the security settings on the brower tools doesn't make any difference. I've tried reinstalling and updating the browsers. I don't have a third machine to connect to see if I can narrow the problem down to the laptop or the music server.

[slim] Menu navigation issue
Hi folks I think I have found a small issue with the menu navigation. I have programmed my Harmony 659 remote control to use the Pronto IR codes found here: http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/pronto/SqueezeboxCodes.xls Everything works great (in fact in same cases, better than the original remote) except for one niggly thing. I have assigned the IR code for "menu_home" to the MENU button on my remote control. Sometimes (I haven't found the exact pattern yet) when I press the MENU button from the Now Playing screen, I am taken to the last item I had highlighted in the top-level menu (for example, Browse Music). If I immediately press RIGHT to bring up the item's sub-menu, the SB won't let me. Instead it gives me the bouncy animation that indicates that I cannot go any further. To access the sub-menu, I first need to arrow down to another menu option, then back up to the item I had previously selected, and then I am able to arrow right into its sub menu. I'm using this code for menu_home: Code: 006b 0012 0029 002f 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 0393 Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

[slim] Re: Can't use SB at full volume?
This probably has more to do with the clip detection than much else. I have an old sony pre-amp (home theater) switcher which I run the digital optical out to and don't see any clip indicator while playing normal music at either vol. 40 or fixed out level (should be the same thing). Certain devices detect clipping differently. A Yamaha EQ that I've used before would show clipping whenever a singular 0dBFS (full scale) value sample occured. So it would show clipping on the test tone from the SB. Programs like Sound Forge will only show clipping when two or more consecutive 0dBFS samples occur. Minor clipping isn't that big of a deal (my opinion), lots of mastered music has pushed into digital clipping, but it is really only audible after pushing it a bit too hard. The problem might also be your source material having been mastered too hot. Someone suggested playing the same file back on a CD player digitally, this is a good comparison point. My suggestion would be to make the EQ flat on the Behringer and then see if clipping with the test tone still exists on the output. If it does, lower the output level by 1 or 2dB, if it still exists, you have gain that's not accounted for. -- verbatone verbatone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3556 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21974 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No, once the songs are touched by itunes 6x they have to be on itunes 6x. Just wait a while and the hymn guys will break the itunes 6x encryption.

What IP address does the Squeezebox receive via DHCP? If it's a DHCP issue, the SB will breifly show that it's received an IP address of 168.254.xxx.xxx, which actually means it failed to get an IP address from a DHCP server. If that happens, try manually setting an IP address that's on your LAN's subnet. I think that the reason the SB shows you the SlimServer on your network as an option is that it remembers it from when you had connected with WEP or no password. It probably doesn't actually see it. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22001 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Re: "Album Artist" versus "Artist" behavior
>My frustration comes from having asked many times how it is supposed to >work and not getting any answers. > Me too! Things still unclear to me are: 1. What do I enter as the tag Name/Value for "Compilation"? I use mp3Tag, which allows me to add custom tag entries, so I'm guessing I need "COMPILATION" as the tag name, but what goes in the value? 2. If I have an album that isn't a Various Artists album (such as an album that has one song by a guest artist), how can I tell SlimServer to regard the album as not a compilation? Perhaps COMPILATION=NO/0/False for each track? Setting AlbumArtist for each track doesn't seem to work. 3. What is the best way of handling the case when there are two albums with the same title. Eg. I have three albums called "Remixed", each of which is a various artist album in its own right, but SlimServer shows the union of all tracks on these albums as a single album. I think a solution for (2) above might fix this also for me, as ideally I'd like to set AlbumArtist for the albums (eg. one album is Sarah McLachlan "Remixed", which features artists covering Sarah McLachlan tracks, so having AlbumArtist="Sarah McLachlan" to make the album appear listed under Sarah McLaclan would be a nice solution for me). I know there is the "Common Album Titles" preference, but I actually have quite a few duplicate album titles, and it doesn't seem a nice solution to the problem (it should be derivable from tags, otherwise things like Random Album mix may not work correctly either?). For now, I have made the album names unique, but putting the artist name after the album name, such as "Remixed [Sarah McLachlan]". Occasionally, I scan through my various artists list checking for albums that shouldn't be there, and "fixing" them in this way - it's hard to get it right first time, as I don't want the artist name in every album name, only when there is a clash. I think SlimServer may be able to work out clashes based on duplicate [disc+]track numbers for the same album title at scan time (enhancement request). 4. What differences, if any, are necessary to get these problems working for different tag formats, eg. mp3, FLAC, WMA, etc. mp3Tag supports all of these different formats in a single user interface; but perhaps "COMPILATION" should be called something else when used in ogg vorbis tags, etc. 5. What can be done to achieve the same effects for albums defined by cue sheets. This seems totally broken for me (or perhaps it was never implemented). I would expect to be able to define any tag name=value pair in the cue sheet data, but Slimserver only seems to read specific things it is looking for, such as TITLE and PERFORMER. eg. ARTISTSORT doesn't seem to work. Not directly related to compilation album support, but worth mentioning anyway: 6. I believe mp3 tags define a tag called ORIGARTIST, which I have entered for a bunch of compilation albums featuring cover versions of tracks. It would be nice if SlimServer could detect these and list them like it does with Band/Composer/Conductor tags. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Try also turning off the server preference for automatically detecting compilations. Doing this in combination with using explicit COMPILATION tags may be what you need to keep from having to use the silly "common album titles" thing. In mp3tag I loaded up my whole library of 8000+ tracks and set COMPILATION=0 on every track. Then I loaded up all of my compilation albums (a relatively small number) and set COMPILATION=1 on those. I also set all of the ALBUMARTIST tags to "Various Artists" on the compilations. They end up getting grouped under "Various Artists", but without looking in the SlimServer database I couldn't honestly tell you if it's because they're marked as compilations or not. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 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

I'd be surprised if D-Link will be able to help. About your only recourse there might be to try older versions of the firmware for the device.

I know I'm probably doing something wrong, but with the EMAP radio station Key 103, on the following URL: mms://EMAP1.planetwideradio.com/key103 I can only get the station/sponsor message - not the live stuff after it. It works fine through media player on the PC, but not through squeezebox or slimserver. Im using firmware 28, and the public release of slimserver. Any pointers? -- mattmanchester mattmanchester's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22083 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Playing songs purchased from iTunes Store
it was my understanding that itunes 6x added some new key to the encryption on all songs when it was first started. you are correct in that that hymn faq suggests otherwise. Of course, the easiest way to find out is to give it a go... of course, back up those songs!! -- kanoot kanoot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4324 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22072 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: More slimserver connection problems? NetTest help!
I had a problem with the connection dropping out after around 35 minutes play when using 6.2.2 and FW 35 with a Linksys WAP54G with WPA. Downgrading to 6.2.1 and FW28 solved the problem for me. I thought it might be a dodgy installation but the symptoms are consistently repeatable.

The WRT54 can be a nightmare - I know people from Cisco who won't use them, the wireless side of things can be very temperamental.

I wish I could get this program to work for me. Here are two local stations I've been trying to grab the streams for, but I see no mms:// links when I use url snooper on them: http://www.mega949.com/streaming3.html http://www.univision.com/content/channel.jhtml?chid=9514&schid=9803 If one of you feels like cueing them up and seeing if you can get the stream addresses, I'd appreciate knowing what I am doing wrong. I am starting to think that they must be doing something that urlsnooper can't pick up. -- NWP NWP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16100 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Playing songs purchased from iTunes Store
There is good information about ITunes and their encryption here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay This came into play for me just the other day. I had been hyping Squeezebox and Slimserver to my brother and he was ready to take the plunge and give it a try. Then he mentioned, "Oh yeah, this will play all the songs I've been buying on ITunes, right?" Grr [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$ Microsoft takes a ton of crap for their monopolistic practices ( M$ lol etc), but I don't think they've ever really pissed me off as much as this ITunes encryption does. I encourage everyone to spread the word whenever they hear someone using ITunes to buy music. You not only buy music, you are buying into the necessity to buy your hardware from Apple whenever you want to play that music. Getting back to the original poster's question: Another option you have is to burn the music to CD then rip it back from the CDs in another form like MP3. Whether or not this is a potential solution really depends on the amount of songs they have bought. -- NWP NWP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22072 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
