If one want the srcipt to work automatically, after selecting the script in the relevant option (and no script in the other options) one goes back to the initial screen and then one has to press Play (there is a message "press Play to activate"). -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23109 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Running 6.2.2 on a Linkstation NAS
Is it safe to run 6.2.2 on a Linkstation ?? I've been running 6.2.1 without problems unti tech support suggested that the stuttering problem I was having with Squeezenetworks would be solved by 6.2.2. So, I installed 6.2.2 in a separate folder but kept the same data & prefs folder. 6.2.2 starts fine but all my prefs & data have disappeared and when I do a rebuild of the library it makes all the right noises and looks like it's building it but at the end of the process it's still empty.

[slim] Wake-on-LAN: something new...?
Does anyone know of a Squeezebox setting to control how long the SB waits for a server to come up after sending WOL packets? I haven't been able to find one myself. My little 2.5Ghz Celeron box running XP Professional can wake up from hibernation in a little under 30 seconds; but that's not quick enough for my SB2, which fails to connect every time. Retrying the connection via a remote makes the SB2 try again, then it powers itself off. If I then power it up again, it connects immediately. This is a bit of a nuisance as I use a Harmony universal remote, and have to go through a lot of button pushing via its interactive help to coax the SB2 to power up again after failing to connect. The original SB2 remote is safely tucked away in a drawer, otherwise I'd be drowning in high impact plastic and soft rubber buttons :) I can program a button on the remote to toggle the power for me; but I'd really like a simple timeout I can tweak to step around the problem altogether. Optimising the server PC to come to life quicker doesn't seem a likely option, as I'm using hibernation mode so the state of the machine is saved out to disk. I've tried standby mode to see if that's quicker, but it still isn't fast enough. Any help or sympathy much appreciated!

If you don't have a PC at the remote end, of course, there isn't much else you can do. PC requirements aside, presuming that you didn't put any security in place apart from router IP filtering at the both ends, that would still leave you open to whatever exploits your routers expose. For example, there's at least one router I read about a while back that shuts down and requires a hard boot if (a) IP filtering is on and (b) it detects more than a certain number of port scans from unauthorized IPs. Means that you have no music for the rest of the weekend, unless there is someone at home you can call to reset it. I think a far better, and more stable solution, would be to set up a SSH tunnel between the two. This works really well for me streaming from work, although it does mean you need a PC at the remote end. There's plenty of good free software for doing it, for all common platforms, and its flexible enough to deal with most situations. The only thing I haven't tried is forwarding packets to and from a hardware SB; I've always used SoftSqueeze or SqueezeSlave (thanks, Richard!). Has anybody tried this?

And once they were in, there's an extensive set of documentation both for the web interface and the CLI / TCP/IP interface explaining just what they can do and how to do it. It's fortunate that SlimServer isn't widely known outside of the people here, but security by obscurity is not much better than no security at all. :-) I like the fact that security is built into SS but I doubt if it has been subject to intense, repeated attack to see what breaks, unlike certain other programs! I don't require any external access, have set IP address blocking, CSRF protection to High and no port forwarding. External port scans indicate these ports do not respond, just like all my other ports. If it was me, I'd go for SSH.

[slim] OT: WZC affecting WPA but not WEP??
Okay, apologies up front because this is really a wireless question, and not a SqueezeBox question. But my google searches so far haven't yielded the answer, and I figure some of you know the answer. My home network has been running solidly, albeit insecurely, with WEP for a few years. I didn't go to WPA because of an old laptop that's still running Win2K, and being too cheap to buy supplicant software. Now that I've learned there's free software (from McAfee) that will let me run WPA-PSK, I decided to switch the wireless security to WPA (2 XP laptops, 1 Win2K laptop, and one wireless SB3). The wireless router is a Netgear WGR614v3, with the latest firmware. Almost as soon as I switched to WPA, I started getting dropped connections on the 2 XP laptops. They would usually reconnect after a fashion, but it was bad enough to be a real pain. I didn't notice the SB3 or the Win2K laptop having problems, although I wasn't paying a lot of attention to them, either. Reading up it seems that XP's Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) is to blame for a lot of this kind of connection problem. And that would be a good explanation since it seems that only the XP boxes were affected. But what is not clear to me is why WZC has not been a problem with WEP. Does WZC come into play (if you let it) only with WPA and not with WEP? This weekend I'll try turning off WZC, but I'd appreciate any insights from the gang here.

I'd say "unlikely" is a bit weak of a word. "Approaching impossible" is closer to it. If you can predict TCP Sequence Numbers, it is possible to send packets that appear to be from a trusted source, but you never get any return packets. To successfully cause damage by pretending to be a trusted slimserver client, the slimserver would have to be running on an OS with predictable TCP sequence numbers (Windows, MacOS X, and Linux are all quite secure in this regard) AND the attacker would have to know which source IP address was trusted, AND the attacker would have to know of a bug in slimserver that could be exploited in a way that causes damage, AND the slimserver would have to be running as a user on the host OS that had sufficient privileges to cause that damage. And besides all of that, slimserver just isn't that big of a prize for anyone to bother. There are far jucier and lower-hanging fruit. If you or your systems are of *that* much interest to someone, there are far easier ways to gain access or cause damage, one of which would be to attack PPTP. As implemented by Microsoft, PPTP is more of a security liability than Slimserver. -- rudholm rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23132 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: OT: professional-audio "slim device"?
Are you sure you need to control the recording levels as tightly as you think? On, say, a cassette tape, "too quiet" means not only that you have to turn the gain up to hear it, but also that when you do, you hear a lot of hiss. Serious recordists will gasp at this, but you may find with digital recording that you can just set a level that is never too high and then normalize everything that is "too quiet" and still get the quality you need. There are also some bits of software that might be well suited to your application. Loop Recorder (www.looprecorder.de), for example, can just run all the time: you don't even need to "hit record." With that and a one-size recording level, you might not have to think about controlling the recorder at all. Unless one of your requirements is no postprocessing. Do you need to have a finished product right away, or can somebody come later and, at a minimum, trim and normalize? -- tom permutt tom permutt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1893 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23154 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: OT: professional-audio "slim device"?
Thanks, Tom. Well, some post-processing is acceptable (we do this to prepare the files for streaming off our website). But as I mentioned in an earlier post, we need to be able burn cds immediately after the service for a few homebound elderly. So we do need to have acceptable quality right out of the gate. The dynamics issue can largely be solved by a compressor, but you'd really be surprised by how easily things can get screwed up--particularly with inexperienced volunteers. We have a different band every week (4 bands on rotation) and different sound reinforcement volunteers every week (5 teams on rotation). Channels are constantly moving around and if someone's not real attentive (our volunteers have a lot of other responsibilities--there's not a dedicated recording engineer) it's pretty easy for a really low (unsalvageably low) or really high level on some particular channel to slip through (there's no way to monitor aux send levels with VU meter on the mixer itself). That's why we need some way for someone to be able to easily glance at a VU meter to be sure things are in the right ballpark. Well, guys, if one of you comes across the perfect piece of hardware for this application then let me know, otherwise, I think we're going to go with the following setup: aux send from mixer into a compressor (with VU meters) into a USB 2.0 interface, into the computer. Per Pat's recommendations I'll be working on some macros to make control a bit easier, and maybe pick up a Contour Shuttle Pro for my transport controls. This will get me 95% of the way towards where I want to be. Thanks again for lending an ear and a hand.

[slim] Re: Wake-on-LAN" again
So I don't know enough about the 6.5 plugin to make reliable suggestions. I assume you have the script for "Power Off" selected. I assume that, like the 6.1 version, it must have an option for "No Script" and an option for each script you have, and that you have selected the option for your script. It certainly could do no harm to see if the script worked when set for one of the other events, for instance on Stop, or even on Play File. You said in an earlier post "When I select the startup.bat as the option from and press the "Play" button, ther SB3 screen says "running script" and points to the "Script" directory - so that seems to be OK." It's not clear to me if the script did definitely run and act on your PC - the message from the Squeezebox really just means that it has told the computer to run the script, not that it did run successfully. Again, Windows is not an OS I know, but I wonder if there are issues about which user is running SlimServer and which user is entitled to run the script. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23109 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Re: Nokia 770 Skin
Quoting bklaas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: thanks, KDF. I'm still a little confused how MusicMatch is supposed to fit into the Slimserver UI. MusicMatch makes playlists, right? Where would a user be looking on the Slimserver web interface for MusicMatch functionality? Clicking on the "Browse Playlist" link? Maybe it's just Friday, but I don't think I'm getting it... First off, MusicMatch is a different animal from "MusicMagic" or MusicIP as it is now known. MusicMagic can be used to manage your library (importing metadata during scan) and as a mixer for playlists. They program has some fancy algorithm for blending songs that "fit" together based on various criteria. They provide an HTTP API for requesting playlists based on "seeds". Seeds ca be artist, album, genre, song, an existing playlist or a variant of a playlsit, called "moods". Both the player UI and web UI have hooks for creating the mixes. As for your skin, it can be up to you where and what you wish to support. Slimserver actually works with two mixer programs, Moodlogic and MusicMagic. Each has their own graphic (b_mix.gif and b_mmmix.gif respectively) that we use in the web interface to call the http API. Most skins that support the mixing, so far only make it available as part of the browse modes. Your cmdwrappers file already has the stuff in place for browsecontrols, etc. However, browsecontrols_abbr is only the PLAY and ADD. If you add the mixer lines to that, then you will have links to activate musicmagic playlists. Clicking the b_mmmix.gif icon next to "U2" for example would create a playlist based on U2 as an artist. Server settings will determine how large the playlist should be and how varied. I downloaded the linux MusicIP program and took a look. As far as I can tell it at least *looks* free. If there's a cost associated with it they hide it quite well. The API used to be something you had to pay for. I believe this is going away to give more people access to the mixing features from third party applications like slimserver. Before I run this program against my library, I still want to know if MusicIP edits ID3 tags. Anyone know? It does not. They create their own data storage (default.m3lib, IIRC). The initial analysis of the files can take very long time (1 week for a full analysis) but you rarely ever have to run it all over again (don't go wiping out the m3lib file, of course). I believe that some recent versions to allow the option of embedding the analysis data into the audio files themselves for faster recovery, but this still avoids the ID3 tags themselves. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you think you may have accidentally set the bitrate limiting, then you can verify in player settings->audio. Make sure it is set to "no limit". This is the default, and will let the player use the "built in" decoding. Flac converts to WAV for Squeezebox 1 (mp3 if wireless).
