[slim] Re: Annoying menu navigation ( now playing)
Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to help me with this. I'll try and recapitulate (from memory) what I've done: 1) Initial problem with factory setting was that I kept coming back to now playing when scrolling left although I hadn't started out there, as described more in depth in post one. 2) As you proposed, I set the stock now playing screensaver to jump back on wake. This cured the intial problem 1) but introduced a new issue, which also appears with your scrips. (Probably as both do the same). With this setting now, the navigation by left right is just fine, but the navigation by fwd for playing the next song on an album is goofed up. Doing so, it does not display the next song anymore at first, until the screen saver kicks in. Equally annoying as the first problem, especially if you skip through a few songs with fwd and although your somewhere towards the end of the album, it still displays track one. 3) I then tried out various settings within the screensaver menu ass well as you script, and although I posted once I found the solution, I was wrong and had to delete that again. (Did I confuse you there Michael?). I also tried your script, same result. At 2:30am, I finally gave up and went to bed. 4) Now comes the interesting part, I hadn't posted here yet: This morning, I had an idea and did a complete factory reset and went back to standard now playing screensavers without the jump back option, and simply deleted the menu-point now playing which can be done on the next page of the player configuration. The result is almost what I wanted, but has a strange life of it's own. I can walk around the menus with left and right, play songs and all that, and will always come back to the menu I had left prior, without ever seeing the now playing display. Just as desired. BUT After having picked an album and song, which now plays, and if I then hit fwd it will not display the next song analog to Problem 2) but still the old one. THIS WILL HAPPEN UNTIL THE SCREENSAVER POPS IN FOR THE FIRST TIME. Thereafter, I can navigate around with fwd as desired, and it will show the correct song immediately. And I can also navigate back to whatever menu I came from with the left button. But if I pick another artist, and come into his album, and skip a song again with fwd the exact same thing happens againit keeps displaying the old song until the screensaver pops in for the first time again. Very strange. I am pretty sure it's a bug, on the German forum people describe the 1) and 2) problems as well. I think nowbody has tried my 4) approach to this yet... Which almost gets there. It cures both problems only just.

I think you're misinterpreting something: as you hit fwd the player is woken up, you're brought back to where it kicked in. As the screensaver started when you were on your first song (I guess), you're brought back to a track list with the first song displayed. Let's take another example: you started some playback. While listening to your music you go to the settings menu. You phone rings. While answering the call the player's screensaver kicks in. A new song you don't like while on the phone starts playing. You hit FWD to get to the next song. As this wakes up the player you'll be back in the settings menu until the screensaver kicks in again. This is expected behaviour as per design.

Heuer Wrote: The Devolo High Speed 85Mbit work superbly. I have four of them and I can stream video from the security cameras, listen to SB and transfer data between two TiVo's at the same time.

However, I also recall something about the older models had problems because they only worked within the same phase so it depended on the wiring in your house if the plugs would connect? Is this true still for the 14MBps version, or was that pre-Homeplug 1.0? Can one buy two sets of adapters and send form one and recieve from three, or do they only work in pairs?

Re: [slim] 6.5 looking good
Thought I'd add another 6.5 nightly success story to the pile.. I was fixin' to whine about some 6.3.1 performance issues and instead decided to see how much things have improved with 6.5.. So I tried a 6.5 nightly this week on my gentoo sytem. Initially I had a heck of a time getting the YAML::Syck stuff to work. I merged new versions of those packages but it didn't really help. It kept barfing when parsing config files. I finally found this thread (for the second time - first time got me interested) and using Bin/build-perl-modules.pl made all the difference.. So far things are running smooth with no real new issues. It kinda looks like a number of nagging performance issues seem better (woot!). CPU consumption while playing flacs seems much improved (not that it was ever an issue at only about 2% in the past). Time will tell but looking pretty good!

The low voltage cable and audio cables neatly to go thru ceiling into void. I dont want to have to get out of bath to change tracks, vol etc so site needs to be in bathroom. What I cant find is something waterproof, little clear plastic/PVC box to house the device.

I use subversion and I'm running Knoppmyth (variant of debian) for me, it's simply: cd /usr/local/slimserver/trunk svn up su -c /etc/init.d/slimserver restart occasionally I have to run Bin/build-perl-modules.pl in order to update various required support modules, and I've also had to do an apt-get install mysql to get the latest mysql (knoppmyth is stuck back at mysql 4.x) -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Double tracks in playlist
My problem may have been fixed by the current build (I haven't checked yet by testing) but here is the text for Bug 3699: When the Composer and Artist are the same, duplicate tracks created in playlist Dunno why no one else has complained about this -- It happens for almost every album for me. I suppose this might be an artifact of my process of ripping to flac, and not editing the tags. TagRename (which I downloaded a few hours ago) reveals that the composer tag is empty for at least one of the problematic albums though, so I am not sure if the bug description is the same. -- GeezerD GeezerD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26609 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Radio station works on SoftSqueeze but not SqueezeBox2
Well, I did download the latest nightly that was available at that time. I guess you were referring to the Aug 23 nightly which hadn't been uploaded yet. Anyway, I grabbed the Aug 24 nightly and this seems to fix the problem. Other radio stations also seem to start much quicker now. Of course, 6.5 seems to have some major stability problems, as the service keeps shutting down intermittently for no apparent reason during use. Fortunately, Windows services can be set to automatically restart after a failure, which is how I've configured the SlimServer service. -- rds rds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26625 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Passive speakers - using as an alarm clock
Another option is a Sonic T-amp hooked up to passive speakers. It's about the size of your hand and a couple inches thick. It runs $25 but you need to buy a power supply cord which costs another $20 so $45 total. I leave mine on full time in my bedroom and the speakers are dead quiet (I just put my ear up close to check). (In case you're skeptical, many audiophiles love it.)

[slim] Re: Radio station works on SoftSqueeze but not SqueezeBox2
After playing with it a bit more, it seems to be this URL that is causing the server to shutdown. Also, it turns out that the SlimServer Windows service doesn't actually stop (SlimServer justs stopped responding and devices can no longer contact it), so the auto-recovery options for services don't help here. Andy, you said that it worked fine for you on this version. Try putting the URL in a PLS playlist and launch the station from the SqueezeBox itself. That's when the problem seems to occur. Also, it may work just fine the first few times, but seems to eventually cause the server to crash. What debug options (aside from directstream) should I enable to figure out what's going on here? -- rds rds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26625 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Run from the command line (in your C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server dir): slim.exe --d_scan --d_directstream --d_parse --logfile slim.log Please file a bug and include this log file of the failing station. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26625 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
