[slim] Is anyone else having shoutcast problems?
This is what I have found. If you use the sb3 to search playlists it seems to use a URL such as http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunin-stationpls?id=3499&filename=playlist.pls. About two days ago this stopped working on the squeezebox. It won't play most stations. If I un plug the sb3 and plug back in, it works better, but a few hours later - nothing. I can't use a station as an alarm because I don't know if it will work or not. But If I connect to slimserver via web browser amd click on a shoutcast station it plays fine. What I noticed is then when you do it this way it uses am ip address instead of a url, like this: http://207.200.96.227:8038, which works fine. I immediatly thought this was a DNS issue and switched to several DNS servers - No luck. I tried playing directly from Winamp - No luck. I tried playing at work on our 100 megabit internet connection - no luck. So I can't be the only one having this problem can I? It used to work great - I mainy got this for internet radio, and I have not been able to use shoutcast for two days. Hurmph!

I don't think you ever said why you just don't tag the files and be done with it. Unless you're using a format that doesn't really support tags, such as WAV. If you can write a program to populate the database, then you could likely find a tagging library or utility to just as easily let you transfer that data to tags in the files. But I have to agree with you... It would be nice if SlimServer could be set to not muck with the library data except when explicitly told to do so. That way we might write our own library scanning utility and not have to worry about the data being changed by Slim Server when we're doing something as (seemingly) benign as browsing in one of the user interfaces. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23061 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Streaming to PSP
Ok, so I know the primary purpoe of Slimserver is to stream to a Squeezebox, but it would be nice to be able to stream to my psp as I work around the house. I tried modifying the handheld skin to use the RSS functionality in the 2.6 firmware on the PSP, but I always got an error. I originally thought that this was due to using a non-standard port for http, but now I don't believe that to be the case. I think it's down to the http responses from Slims web server. Last night on digg, I found a link to this little utility which creates a small http server on 8080 which streams from your itunes libary. http://www.skattertech.com/2006/04/stream-itunes-library-to-psp/ It seems to be written in perl and uses the HTTP::Server CPAN module.

I have an SB2 sitting a few inches above my Technics DAB radio - and the reception doesn't change whether or not the SQ2 is on.

The Technics radio is just using a dangling wire antenna (I'm in London with OK reception).

Several other thoughts on this: - a PC and an SB do very different things (general access versus streaming audio). If you try wireless streaming with a PC that seems to work fine otherwise, you may be surprised at its poor performance. I cannot get foobar2000 on my wireless laptop to reliably play FLAC files stored on my server - I get dropouts and stuttering. The SB does the same thing without issue. - a comparable activity, downloading a large file over the WLAN, isn't really the same at all. If wireless conditions degrade, the download slows down without consequence because it's all spooling into a partial download file. - a PC has much greater resources than an SB does, which allows for sophisticated connectivity software that masks problems. This software isn't perfect either, just ask anyone using Windows XP wireless zero config with their wireless NIC's software simultaneously. - a PC's wireless settings are extremely adjustable while a lot of the adjustable parameters in a PC are fixed in the SB firmware.

Certainly sounds like an Easter Egg! I've never seen it before and it's probably not in the firmware since the firmware is very minimalist. It's probably in the server where there's ample resources to do this and there would be no impact on performance. Also I can't get the same behaviour with 6.2.2 build 6858 and firmware 37, so I suspect it's the server. I like seeing stuff like this - shows the developers have a sense of humour.

Foobar2000 definately. Plays FLAC very well, and supports gapless playback. Not very elegant UI, but functional. Otherwise, you could use Winamp, but you'll need to install a plugin to play FLAC files - available from the winamp web site. Just want to make sure I understand : how are you using SlimServer's mp3 streaming ability, I mean which mediaplayer are you using? For example, are you using Winamp, then "open URL", and dropping that streaming URL in there? That works well for me. SlimServer will transcode your FLAC files to MP3.

It would probably be less work to fix this if you put tags in the files. The way I'd probably do it would be to determine what information I already had, and then using an Access script, copy the files into a new directory hierarchy. (I used to have my hierarchy as Artist\Year\Album\Track, for instance.) I'd do a copy, if there was room, so I didn't mess up the working files. It doesn't matter how nasty/complex this structure ends up being, because it's only temporary. Then I'd use Foobar's masstagger feature to populate ID3 tags based on the directories I'd created in the first step. It's able to figure out, based on the pathname, what tags to use. This will take some troubleshooting to get right, but it's not that hard. Finally, I'd reverse the first step, and put the files back where they came from. Voila you still have the system you originally developed, and you also have tags in all your files. Just remember to tag new ones, and you're gold. -- Malor Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23061 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Windoze XP dropping wireless connection.
Morning everyone. Well hopefull this time I'll be contributing something rather than just asking for help like I usually do... I had been having the classic situation where Windoze (XP Pro, SP2 fully updated) kept randomly dropping the wireless connection for no obvious reason and I now seem to have sorted it. I have a Belkin router and wireless PCI LAN card and I know Belkin get abuse sometimes but it now seems fine. Basically I did 2 things; logged on to the router and changed the channel to 6 from 11 (11 is the default and I can see 2 other networks on the same channel) and unchecked the 'let Windoze badly managed my network setting' option on the Belkin software. Since then I've had 97% signal strength and not a single dropped connection. Of course as you'll see from my other post I can't get Slimserver to start or my SB3 to connect to my PC but at least my internet connection doesn't keep dropping -- hifisteve hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23075 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Problems with WinXP Firewall???
Morning all. As per usual I'm in need of help again... I made the (foolish?) decision to rebuild up my PC recently, including a load of mirrored RAID storage for all my music. That cause me nearly 2 weeks of keyboard-chewing frustration in trying to get all the new bits to play nicely with each other and Windoze XP, but yesterday all finally seemed well until I re-installed Slimserver In short my SB3 can't connect to my PC (although it connected to the wireless network perfectly) and on my PC the system tray just says 'starting Slimserver' I've read both the SB manual and several threads here but none seem to offer any answers. The fault seems to lie with the Windoze firewall (XP Pro, SP2 with all the trimming) as before I 'improved' my PC I was using Zonelabs security suite and it was fine. For various boring reasons I'd like to stick with the XP firewall and I wondered if anyone ever worked out how to get it to cooperate with Slimserver. Incidentally, under the exceptions tab in the firewall setting, the 3 specific Slimserver ports already seemed to have been configured automatically but it still is working... -- hifisteve hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23074 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
