2. Better FF/RW ability. That's one thing I really miss when moving from CDs. I actually like the FF/RW functionality (although there's currently a few bugs to be ironed out in the 6.5 beta) How would you see it being improved? Also, there's a plugin that presents the song progress as a bar, whereby up/down will change the position in the song like changing the volume on the player UI. I use both mechanisms from time to time. The built-in mechanism is useful for skipping ahead/back a little bit, the plugin is useful when you want to skip ahead a long way and know the rough time position. Alternatively consider breaking up long pieces of music into smaller sections using cue sheets, so you can to the next track.

I'd like to see: * Better handling of plugins: I imagine a plugin manager utility that checks the web for available plugins, and which downloads and installs them just by (un)ticking the relevant boxes. It would also check which plugins work with the currently installed Slimserver version. I know it isn't hard to manually download most of them, but it would add a much more professional look to it. I have several plugins installed that crash my Slimserver.. I don't know whether there are new versions, whether they need configuring, or whether somethign else is wrong.. and I've lost the will to sort it out. * Ability to either add tags from the remote control, or add the current track to an arbitrary new or existing playlist, without effecting the currently playing playlist.

Hi Ceejay, I think it's sorted! Under Server Settings/File Types there were 3 options for Apple AAC with the Stream Format as AIFF, FLAC and MP3 respectively. By deselecting the first two (AIFF FLAC) and leaving only MP3 selected seems to have cured the problem. Obviously, converting from M4A to MP3 on-the-fly is not gonna be as 'hi-fi' as, say, FLAC but my stereo is not that revealing. When I upgrade to a kick-ass stereo I reckon I'll have to get wired (but then I'll also have to re-rip my music to a lossless format).

[slim] SlimServer for photos?
I had toyed with putting this thought in the SS 7 requests thread (here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874) but I thought that this was a bit too far off topic. So I'm posting in a new thread: I used to use an HTPC hooked up to my TV for all of the wonderful things that HTPC gives you. But there were two inherent problems that I was never able to fully tackle to my satisfaction: 1. I _HATED_ having a PC in my living room... no matter how much I tried to silence it I could still hear it, no matter how pretty I tried to make it, it still looked like a PC, and stuck out like a sore thumb along side my slick A/V devices. 2. Even though the machine gave me all sorts of cool things I could do, I really only used it for music and photos. So the HTPC seemed too much like overkill for the relatively simple things I regularly used it for. So when I began to explore other options, I came across the Squeezebox, and I couldn't be happier as far as my music is concerned (how happy I am that I have gapless playback! I can't believe this was of little concern to the HTPC folk). Plus it looks sexy as hell sitting next to my receiver. But I am left without the ability to view my photos on my TV... SlimServer does eveything I need for music, so I was wondering if there was a similar option for photos. Here's what I'm looking for: - retrieves my photos over my home network, wireless preferred, but not mandatory (ie: a solution that only plays back from a memory card or DVD is not what I'm looking for) - can navigate using an IR remote control. No keyboard or mouse. TV display could be used to browse entire photo collection. - ability to view the pictures using the maximum capabilities of my TV (ie: HD if available, S-Video or composite if my TV is challenged...) and auto scaling to match TV resolution. (scaling could be done on the server side to minimize network bandwitdh usage?) - ability to access this remotely for computer viewing over the internet would be a HUGE bonus I picture a SlimServer / Squeezebox type solution for this, where the server does most of the work and streams the media according to the capabilities of the display device (much like streaming to a remote winamp player transcodes to MP3, while streaming the FLAC version to the local squeezebox), while the hardware device sitting beside my TV is JUST for retrieval and display. All organization and management would happen on the server side. Does anyone know of somethiunbg that does what I am looking for? There are networked media players that do this kind of thing, but since I'm only interested in the photo display aspect of them, I was hoping to keep the cost down by only paying for what I need/want. The ability to play music is redundant (nothing beats my SB3) and the ability to play video is something I just won't use (beyond my PVR, I have no desire to watch video files on my TV -- a behaviour I learned when I had the ability with the HTPC). I appreciate any and all suggestions that you may have! - Thanks! -- j.e.f.f j.e.f.f's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4346 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27078 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The XBOX isn't silent, and while the aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder (I think it's fugly, whereas my roommate thought it looked pretty cool), doesn't bear much similarity to most consumer AV gear. Perhaps a slim AV style Mini-ITX enclosure with DC-DC power supply, network booted from a remote server? That would be an essentially silent solution in an unobtrusive case. It doesn't really have the simplicity and ease of use of a Squeezebox for photos, though. It's also expensive, by the time you add up the various components. I imagine that the photos would be displayed on a TV? Some models of TVs now include flash card slots for displaying photos; that would require no additional hardware, and would also be silent.

Anyone? -- jdvmi jdvmi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27017 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Re: Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
I haven't tried it in a long time. When I did, the plug-in was still in Beta, so it had a number of problems. Will definitely check it out.

For example, IMHO, KCRW is one of the world's greatest public radio stations (no affiliation, promise). One of the really cool things they do is archive all of their shows on a searchable page on their website. Some of these shows are music based (for example, a one-hour interview and performance session with the Flaming Lips, or Tom Waits, or whatever), some of which are news/information based. What would be amazing is the ability to select one of these archived shows and instead of playing with Windows Media, Real Audio or Itunes/ Quicktime, but rather, send to a Slim agent, that could then play through Squeezebox. Of course, I know there are ways to record or archive locally and then add those to the slim playlist, but this takes considerable effort and sometimes these broadcasts are not something that you would want to preserve for multiple listenings. I realize that this would be a technically challenging, but why stop a boy from dreaming... So, rather like AlienBBC does for the BBC's stations? Have you tried this? Its another of the world's greatest public radio stations! :) Ceejay -- ceejay -- -- ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Had to go look at the pictures...I have had this problem before, and it was a problem with id3v1 and v2 tags -- mp3tag didn't show a difference I could see, and doesn't show both tags at the same time. Anyway, the problem went away after I deleted the v1 tags entirely and did a clear-and-rescan. -- I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin,So across the Western ocean I must wander -- traditional ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: browse music folders problem
I'd actually guess it has more to do with the space and/or the comma than the fact that the tag matches. Try chaging it to test test or test, test and see what happens. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27088 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
