The firmware is already sitting on your SlimServer, as part of the 6.5.0 installation. The Squeezebox just needs to connect to the server for the upgrade. Let us know if it works. If the Squeezebox is on your network - that is, it has a good wireless connection, and it has an IP address on the same subnet as the server, then it shouldn't really make any difference if it's connected wirelessly or via wire.

[slim] Re: Sonos-like remote?
Let's put it this way: if Apple had released the iPod with a web interface for navigation instead of the simple but brilliant wheel mechanism, it would have flopped in the marketplace (I suppose one could say the Newton was the original flop). SanDisk, Creative, et al. have pretty decent navigation mechanisms as well. A small device (as a remote should be) whose essential function is navigation really needs something like this, and IMHO that's one of the strongest points about the Sonos (despite that the remote could still stand improvement). Messing with a web interface compared with a device where hardware and firmware are well-matched will almost always be a poorer user experience. -- Balthazar_B Balthazar_B's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7366 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27824 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

1. You can update fireware via wireless if you are connected. 2. If the SB3 doesn't connect, you want to kick it, not the server. Hold down the left arrow to get to the setup screen. You should see a choice of connecting to your server. 3. Signal strength does not always mean connected, and earlier firmware often got into a limbo state in which it showed signal but was not really on the network. 4. Pinging your SB3 (you need to know its ip address) from the machine on which the server is running is a good way to see if its even on the network. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28125 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Are you sure that you are connecting to YOUR wireless router, and not a

I don't believe there's any data in my APE tags other than what MP3Gain put there. Mp3tag does support WMA, so you just have to find something that's different by sorting a column.

[slim] Issues with 6.5.0
It took me a couple of tries to get 6.5 installed. Getting frustrated and going back to 6.3.1, and being unable to get SoftSqueeze 2.8 to work at all. Went back to 6.3.1 because slimserver would just stop every so often - no rhyme or reason to it, just stop. A nightly didn't help things at all, just made it worse. Returning to 6.5.0 finally after uninstalling everything that slimserver had installed, and even deleting the directories. I updated to the latest firmware (64 I believe), and tried to play all my music by going to browse albums, right click, all songs and hitting play. Within moments SqueezeBox was displaying a report that it couldn't find a file in genre "Celtic" - which is the way that I have set up some of my music. It then started to try to buffer something like "California Sponsored ..." (Don't actually remember the entire title, but it sure isn't anything I ripped), it got to 87% and stuck there. I went back and made sure I selected shuffle before I tried to play all songs again. This worked. I suspect that the new database is not working quite correctly, and a few of the stopping issues I am seeing are related to the database not referring to the proper path. To the best of my memory, slimserver 6.3.1 reported 612 albums, and slimserver 6.5.0 reports 614 albums. I have not added any albums of any kind. I am running on Windows XP home edition, with 1 gig of ram, and about 500 gigs of hard disk space, which is not full by any stretch of the imagination. -- Mike White Mike White's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28170 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

What I did was, for testing purposes, *copied* my music directory to a new location, but left the playlist directory pointing to the old (and still good) directory. So in reality there were two copies of the music. So in some odd way, Slim was correct in indexing everything twice.

But like you say, it needs to connect to the server first. So at this point it sounds like you're unable to get the Squeezebox connected at all? I think you might want to verify whether the Squeezebox is successfully connecting to your wireless router. This shouldn't be the problem if you're seeing connection problems only after restarting the server (are you shutting down either the Squeezebox or wireless router also?) but it's still a good idea to make sure you know whether the Squeezebox is on the network. Step through the wireless setup (no need to make any changes) and see what the messages on screen look like. Older versions of the firmware were notorious for not working well with wireless routers. If it _is_ a wireless issue, I'd connect the Squeezebox using the wired Ethernet so that you can get the newest firmware from the server. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28125 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Library scanning aborts early in 6.5
Hi all, after the recent upgrade to 6.5 my library which once contained over 7000 albums now shows as having 75. I have tried numerous "clear & rescan all" operations and never get more than 75. I set the sql/mysql/scan/import debug flags as suggest in another thread. When the scan starts I get a number of "Can't call method "print" on an undefined value at..." errors which I can post here if required, although I don't think these are significant as they only occur at the very beginning and the scan does then get going. However after a few minutes it seems to abort, leaving me with only the aforementioned 75 albums in the library. The log shows only the following: SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' SELECT me.name, me.value FROM metainformation me WHERE ( name = ? ): 'isScanning' Import: Wiped all in-memory caches.

"AIFF is a common uncompressed audio file format, and is compatible with Apple Macintosh computers.

[slim] Re: Command location index needed?
First comment is that you need to know the player: settings do change by player type (slimp3, sb, transporter). It is scheduled for an update, but even in 6.5 the setting mechanism is entirely dynamic. The code builds up some data structure in memory which is then used to display the HTML. As a first idea then, the table you want is *almost* in the code today. Maybe a way to create the table is to have some clever routine dump the in memory data structure... This has the advantage of easy regeneration if something gets changed! Making the table is easy, keeping it up to date is the hard part! Another idea might be something similar to the OS X spotlight mechanism... It does index the terms in the preferences (so if you search, say, brightness, it finds "Display preferences")... What I am saying is we could have the server itself propose a search option for the setting texts. We'd get translation as a benefit.

Hi folks, After reading here how AIFF files store tags in them and how WAV files don't (so if my iTunes database got screwed I would be in a pickle for example as regards 'year' and 'genre' tags that at present sit nicely in my iTunes library!) I decided to use iTunes to convert a few WAV to AIFF to check sound quality (don't ask I know they are identical) and low and behold I do get tags when I look at the AIFF file on my music folder directly with Slim Server. But I also have a 'volume adjustment' field and it has a value in it - now I wonder why this is? I haven't asked iTunes to adjust volume and neither have I asked Slimserver either?

If you are connecting to Squeezenetwork over wireless then the problem has to be with the LAN connection. Is the slimserver laptop hard wired to the router, or is it wireless linked? Did you say you could ping the SB3 from the laptop? The SB3 should do the following from power on (plug in) #Welcome message #Obtain IP #attempt to connect to slimserver if failed screen goes blank #Press left arrow then up/down arrow to "current settings" # use arrows to see your current networking settings. You should get IP address, gateway ,wireless id, etc without a server present. Your findings will be good indication of what the SB3 is seeing. Wireless is usually the most problematic of all.

Slim Devices certainly has the advantage when it comes to flexibility. But yes, the remote issue comes up again and again. And by all accounts the Sonos gear is quite reliable. It's a nice idea, a mesh network, but it means that you have to have a ZP hardwired into your router. If it's close enough to be hardwired into my router, it's close enough to my PC that I can just use my PC speakers, so it's redundant in my case.

Never had a problem with 6.2 and 6.3, but now 90% of what I play is stuttering. I haven't been able to pinpoint what makes the remaining 10% playable (or the conditions).

[slim] Re: Stopped : Your player was not found.
You don't need to open ports on your router for SlimServer. Opening ports is for -external- access, i.e. from the Internet. If you can access SqueezeNetwork you have proper communication with your wireless router - a proper encryption passphrase, proper DNS and gateway. If you can't access SlimServer it's probably a firewall issue. Check to see that the firewall on your SlimServer PC isn't blocking SlimServer. SlimServer needs ports TCP 3483, UDP 3483 and TCP 9000. Once you make sure of this, press left on your Squeezebox remote for 5 seconds, go back to networking setup, skip over your encryption passphrase, IP address setting, etc. by pressing FWD. Stop when you hit "Connecting to wireless network". Once you're connected it should ask you to specify a music source. You should see the name or IP address of your SlimServer PC. Select it.

I'm using 6.5b1-8702 on Fedora Core 4. My slimserver is also now failing to connect to all internet radio streams. Here's the debug log for an attempt to connect to radioio acoustic: 2006-10-01 11:51:24.7398 This player supports direct streaming for http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/ as http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/, let's do it. 2006-10-01 11:51:24.7848 setting up direct stream (1159501899:8120) autostart: 2. 2006-10-01 11:51:24.7857 request string: GET / HTTP/1.0 Accept: */* Cache-Control: no-cache User-Agent: iTunes/4.7.1 (Linux; N; Linux; i686-linux; EN; utf8) SlimServer/6.5b1/8702 Icy-MetaData: 1 Connection: close Host: radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120 2006-10-01 11:51:24.9178 Merging entry for http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/ readTags is: [0] 2006-10-01 11:51:24.9198 Updating http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/ : year to 0 2006-10-01 11:51:24.9209 Updating http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/ : remote to 1 2006-10-01 11:51:24.9216 Updating http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/ : rating to 0 2006-10-01 11:51:24.9232 -- Track is a remote track 2006-10-01 11:51:24.9243 -- Track has 0 contributor(s) 2006-10-01 11:51:25.0927 Merging entry for many more entries like this one 2006-10-01 11:51:34.8040 -- Track is a remote track 2006-10-01 11:51:34.8045 -- Track has 0 contributor(s) 2006-10-01 11:51:34.8223 Oh, well failed to do a direct stream for: http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8120/ -- rfreedman rfreedman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7270 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27986 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've been delting the whole cache folder and all subdirectories whilst trying out the 6.5 betas to ensure that SlimServer truly does do a clear and rescan of the database. All that happens is that SlimServer recreates it as it starts up and then does the scan (which can take a while depending upon library size and computer power). So, yes, you can delete it (stop SlimServer service first though). MC -- ModelCitizen Why does it always happen to me? Squeezebox2 > Benchmark Dac1 > Naim NAC 82 > Naim NAP 250 > Shahinian Arcs.

[slim] Re: V6.5 huge FileCache
Just to drop in on the question of the 4096 directories arranged in a tree, that sounds like a hashmap to me. If you drill down until you find an actual file, you'll see the first 3 characters of it's name correspond to the directory path to find it. I'm guessing the filenames are hashes either of the content of the file or some other data (like the audio file it corresponds to) and the directory structure allows them to be found very quickly. To pre-empt the "why not put them all in one directory" question - because a lot of filesystems get unhappy with 20,000 files in one place! -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Instead I use the albumartist field for compilations. I either put "Various Artists" or the name of the album in the albumartist field and it keeps the compilation grouped. The artists list shows the albumartists but not the individual song artists, though, so it might not be ideal for everyone. -- MeSue Sue PS: I once wanted a Squeezebox boombox, but I don't anymore. ;-) MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28070 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

then just buy a ZP-80 - the model that doesn't have an amp...

I can find/buy/upgrade my own amp. With Sonos' amp, you're stuck with it. It might be good but if it wasn't, you're still stuck with it. Might be OK for a second zone but in my main zone I'll use my own amp. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27824 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Cannot connect to slimserver
So just to clarify - you can connect wirelessly to squeezenetwork but not to your own server? But you can connect to your server when wired? That sounds like the router is somehow blocking LAN access from the wireless net, which some routers have an option for but not, afaik, yours. Do you have more than one network card/connector in your server? -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28149 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
