[slim] Exbrowse3 still under development??
I've installed 6.2.2 and was hoping it might resolve an issue I've had with the Exbrowse 3 skin for some time. When I add songs to the playlist (either using the 'play' or 'add to playlist' links) it seems to add the songs in alphabetical order rather than track number. The only workaround I've found is to use a different skin to queue up music, then switch to Exbrowse 3. The other skins work as expected, so I assume the issue to be specific to Exbrowse3. Has anyone else seen this? And anyone know of a fix/workaround?

It's the Windows Task Manager being dumb (or rather, it's been designed to stop you doing stuff like that). Try Sysinternals Process Explorer: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html If you want to do it every time the service starts then a couple of options have been mentioned recently (search for "priority" or something like that).

A backseat? I'll believe it when it happens. I typical desktop PC/Mac has so much more versatility and power than a single "appliance" based peripheal. Printers that can be hooked up to your camera and monitors with TV-tuners are fine and dandy for some, but most will still prefer a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for their window into the Internet and the ability to: - Surf the web, email, word processing, etc - Video gaming - Record and edit movies (home, commercial, TV, etc) - Record and edit music (production, DAW's, etc) - Photo editing and picture library management - Media servers (Squeezeboxes, Rokus, movies, whatever) ...I could go on forever. Specialized appliances have been around for a very long time; we still have desktop/laptop computers in the foreground though... But... don't get me wrong: I agree that "appliance" based periph's will gain in popularity. Windows Vista and Mac's next flavor will keep the deskstop/laptop market strong though.

Yesterday morning, neither my slimserver or iTunes would open. I supposedly had 818 albums on a 300GB external hard drive. The used disc space is the same, but now slimserver says I have 460. I was importing through iTunes onto the external hard drive. I uninstalled iTunes, because it was not working. I also uninstalled Soft Squeeze because it had never worked correctly. However, the SB2/slimserver had worked perfectly for a month, until yesterday. I'm using FLAC files mainly, on Windows XP. The computer is only two months old, and I spent two hours yesterday running through diagnostic tests with a Dell tech because after this happened, the computer would not re-boot at all. I ultimately had to re-install Windows. As of yesterday, slimserver 6.2.2 would not open for me. So I downloaded 6.3.0, which will open, but when I click "Play", it says "Now Playing" on my slimserver and on the SB2 display, but the typical indication of play (the music note and adjacent lines dancing up and down) does not occur.

Sometimes, beginning of the song is clipped, at other times, it's the end--most often, neither. If it's the beginning, and I hit 'back' to start it over, it doesn't clip! Here's hoping they'll figure out what's going on and fix it soon. I love my Squeezeboxen (I'm still in the honeymoon phase), but it's really jarring to have a song just "yanked offstage" like in the cartoons...

[slim] Re: SB3 stopped working - (long)
NetBEUI is a wire protocol, like the IP part of TCP/IP. It's just a format for data packets on an Ethernet. It's pretty simple and limited, but it works okay for a batch of computers that are locally connected. (it's not routable, so you can't use it to talk with stuff outside a local LAN.) The bug here is probably in either the WPA encryption code on the router, or the WPA decryption code on the Squeezebox. The packet could be getting munged in either step, or in some combination of both. The fact that it works okay in WEP mode makes me believe that both devices know they should ignore those packets normally. If forced at gunpoint, I'd bet that it was something in the Squeezebox's WPA decryption routine that's not quite right. Even if the Motorola device is encrypting the packet 'wrong', I don't _think_ it should matter... the Squeezebox should detect the invalid packet type and throw it away. So that's where I'd look first, if I needed to fix the problem. That is, however, an extremely unexpert opinion. And obviously, the easy solution is, "don't use NetBEUI anymore". :) -- Malor Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22341 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I don't necessarily think you're losing the argument. :-) It's just that when "appliances" first came into being ~5 years ago and analysts predicted the demise of the PC, technology was different. Appliances back then were truly dumb devices. Today's "appliance" has almost as much computing power as a conventional PC and could only be called an appliance due to its OS or external connectivity. Take a look at the PocketPC. This is no organizer of yesteryear. As the gumstix shows, you can run Linux off that processor. Appliances as they were first pictured died off because their use was too limited while their cost was too high. WebTV could only browse the web and send/receive e-mail, yet it cost 1/2 (?) of what a computer did at the time. Totally impractical. So an appliance today is really a PC. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It works fine from the remote, the web interface can be a bit balky sometimes. I'm running with 256M on that machine. Rescans take a while (which would probably be less if I tossed another HD into it to move the SQL database onto a different drive... one of these days..), but not so painful that I never do them. I do them almost daily. (I muck with tags a lot and it tends to add artists and never replace them.) I enjoyed the Trackstat stuff until I got to around 9000 tracks in place and then it started getting slow, but it seems that may be because of a quirk in the way mysql optimizes (or doesn't...) selects, since it was reading millions of records on my machine instead of using the index.

I guess that's what I've been saying. I'm unencumbered by the historical definition of appliance you're referring to. Yes, today's and tomorrow's appliances have processing power similar to a PC from last year, and that's my point (heck, I remember when 64kB gave you an unimaginable amount of processing power!). Clever people have realized that they can sell a PC (Xbox) as an appliance, and even more specialized items like SB3 & BlackBerry are getting bigger chunks of the market. Which gets me back to where I started - when do we get a slim Slimserver? Speaking of PocketPCs, it can't be too much longer until it will be possible to run Slimserver on one of them (or is there one here already?) Perhaps 'SlimCD' on a memory card, with firewire to a HD? You never know what some genius is going to come up with I just know I'll be the first one in line to buy it when I can get a Slimserver that sits there innocuously like the modem & the router! -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: How much longer for a really slim SlimServer?
Perhaps what's holding back such devices is storage. SD/CF capacities are growing but are still nowhere near what's required for a sizeable lossless library. Microdrives are bigger but nowhere near big enough. You still need a 3.5" HDD to store that 100 GB+ worth of data. And for some, one HDD isn't enough. 500 GB drives are the practical maximum now, although 750 GB drives have been released. However some want 1 TB+. You just can't fit that much storage into a small device, not even one 3.5" HDD right now. ...yet! I keep hearing persistent rumours of holographic storage media that may make this possible, but so far it's vapourware. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

(well, except for when Windoze screws things up!) Yes, the only time you really need your processor in the SlimServer world is for FLAC/MP3 encoding as you rip. That's when you use every ounce of its power. For running SS, it's mostly just cruising along.

(well, except for when Windoze screws things up!) Wow - I'm practically speechless by this comment. But before I continue, don't take offense nicketynick; I just think that your use of your personal computer is highly under utilized. I own a Playstation and an Xbox; although I enjoy gaming on them, my computer offers gaming that both of those platforms cannot touch. In fact, I have been doing high-definition gaming on my PC since the late 90's, as most desktop gamers have been doing at greater than 1024 x 768 resolution. It's only been with the XBox 360 released just several months ago and the soon-to-be released PS3 that Hi-Def gaming comes to the typical home user. Great that the consoles finally caught up! Further more, high-end modelling might be popular in workstations and computers used at your local weather station or science lab, but the typical home user it busy: - Importing their photos from their digital camera and editing them in Photoshop (or other software) which eats up CPU cycles like no tomorrow - Sync'ing their iPod and managing their music library (or Squeezebox).. ;-) - Importing, recording, and/or editing movies (whether it be home-made or commercial) - Burning DVD's, software, CD's, etc - Gaming (ofcourse), right down to simple stuff like Solitaire ...and that's just "typical" home user stuff. More specialized areas include music production (every Hollywood-associated producer worth their weight in silicon has digital audio/video workstation software installed on their laptops), education, your typical PowerPoint presentation for the office - where does it stop? No, I think that the personal computer/desktop/laptop and the need for more powerful processors will be around for *SOME* time to come, even though more specialized appliances might steal some of the limelight. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. ;-) -- EnochLight EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You still need a 3.5" HDD to store that 100 GB+ worth of data. You name the perfect example to prove that appliances are entering our homes: Network Attached Storage - NAS. They're everywhere. They won't replace the PC, but they will take over some specialized tasks. some, one HDD isn't enough. 500 GB drives are the practical maximum now, although 750 GB drives have been released.
