RE: [slim] Re: 6.5 post upgrade query
Thank you for this - I have tried MP3Tag but have thus far failed to view TSOA. One thing that confuses me though is that all the CD's concerned were ripped by me using the same application (Music Magic Jukebox back then) and as far as I can remember - nothing different was specified when ripping - Additionally, All albums for Robert Plant / Robert Palmer are affected - it is as if SS has correctly grouped them all correctly under the same artist name but has then made a decision based on something about the artist name which results in the symptoms now displayed.

[slim] Transporter - Native support for WMA Lossless?
I would like to buy a Transporter for my home but I have two questions since I have found contradicting information: 1) Does the Transporter support (or will it support in a future firmware update) WMA Lossless natively (i.e. without having to transcode it at the server end)? 2) Can WMA Lossless to FLAC/WAV transcoding only be done when the Slimserver is running on a Windows computer or not? I would like to rip and play my music from my PC (Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) and also use Windows Media Player to transcode and sync music to my portable devices. However, I don't want to use my PC for the Slimserver (I will use a separate Linux-based fanless Nano-ITX system for that). Absence of native WMA Lossless support is currently the only thing stopping me from placing an order for the Transporter. Can someone please confirm the status of WMA support? Thanks!

Well, there is a downside although a minor one - if the format is being transcoded at the server, you can't use FFWD/RWD at the squeezebox/transporter. However OP's concern I think is how to get transcoding from WMAL on a Linux box... I can't write authoritatively on that, so won't try. Only two thoughts that occur to me - (1) use FLAC in the library and put a FLAC-decoder in WMP on the Windows box and (2) don't use Linux for the server!

[slim] Re: Transporter - Native support for WMA Lossless?
It should have no effect on sound quality whatsoever. I am more concerned about how I work with the files if I go the FLAC route. I assume that it is pretty straight-forward to automatically maintain a separate copy of all my music at say [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be able to sync to my portable players through Windows Media Player. The problem is that when I change the rating for songs in, say, my phone - that change does not carry over to the original file. Ideally, I would like to see WMA Lossless support in Transporter or FLAC support in Windows Media Player. Unfortunately, I think the chances of either are slim. /Martin -- bergek bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28267 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

In this case I use the band tag to have those albums listed under the artist name as well. E.g.

In Server Settings / Filetypes you can control what conversions take place. The default, I think, is to FLAC, but you can choose to force it to use WAV or even MP3. If you haven't already, do download the software and have a play, using Softsqueeze as the player. 6.5.1 nightly is recommended.

FLAC uses typically 6-10 times the bandwidth of a normal radio stream, so I'm sure this is the problem.

1) Does the Transporter support No (or will it support in a future firmware update) WMA Lossless natively Maybe. 2) Can WMA Lossless to FLAC/WAV transcoding only be done when the Slimserver is running on a Windows computer or not? As far as I'm aware, WMA lossless transcoding is supported on all platforms. The default is to transcode to FLAC, that's what will happen out of the box. WAV is optionally available. Ideally, I would like to see WMA Lossless support in Transporter It is supported, just not as a native format.

Slimserver is a great product and 6.5 is finnally offering a better browser functionality - if only the clear button along with the other buttons were always visible as opposed to scrolling to the top of the page - other than that it's great.

It also uses resources on the SS machine which is really not needed. Many people would probably like to use a very low spec server or NAS device which maybe cannot handle the transcoding at all properly. I myself has a few minor issues which may or may not be related to the complex transcoding issue done at SS. Tracks are a bit slow to start playing, for the first NN seconds there are skips and when I sync two boxes they are never completely synced. Not to say that this happends all the time and the transcoding is the problem, but the problems starting tracks from time to time would probably be better if the server was not required to start wmadec and flac to start streaming. -- Terje -- Terje Terje's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28267 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Many people would probably like to use a very low spec server or NAS device which maybe cannot handle the transcoding at all properly. Go ask on the NAS forum. I think there are people transcoding on there - for example running AlienBBC to transcode radio streams. The resources used by a decode are very, very low, and adding a FLAC encode as well still isn't much. I myself has a few minor issues which may or may not be related to the complex transcoding issue done at SS. Tracks are a bit slow to start playing, for the first NN seconds there are skips and when I sync two boxes they are never completely synced. Not to say that this happends all the time and the transcoding is the problem, but the problems starting tracks from time to time would probably be better if the server was not required to start wmadec and flac to start streaming.

[slim] Re: Sean Please -SlimServer Salling Clicker 3.0
hello and thanks for stepping forward - this is the food of the gods for some... SC does have very limited functionality remaining with 6.5 - you can start and stop a song, you can skip a song i think. you can NO longer see the tracks that are playing and you can'y raise or lower the volume. Jonas (SC) says much more is broken then meets the eye.. here's his email response to me... Actually, the functionality is a lot more broken than you think. You're seeing limited functionality as you'd previously used the controller with an olders version of Slimserver. The parts of the scripts that deal with player selection and such hang (because the web API that slimserver provides hangs). So a new user wouldn't get it to work at all. It is actually quite a lot of work to redo this. Probably two weeks or so of full-time work to completely replace (and test) what has been lost. Also, to say the scripts aren't open source is not quite true. They can be opened, inspected and modified by anyone. In fact, like I indicated in my last email, I'd encourage this. However, what SD recommends we use is a telnet-style API, and it'd be difficult to harness such a thing from AppleScript. The HTTP-based API previously offered is what's broken; not sure how much of it. It'd probably be easier for them to fix this than to change the controller scripts. so as you can see there more going on here - the email address to SC is [EMAIL PROTECTED] - jonas is very good at responding promptly.. i called SD today to ask a stupid question are there plans to support wireless remote and i'm sure you know the answer.. so thank you upfront for your time and assistance - and to be honest when i get home tonight i'm going to try the SD handheld interface (duh). -- Masterbaron Masterbaron's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=203 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28281 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Start Control Panel Admin tools Services Slimserver Properties and change Startup type from Manual to Automatic. Re syncing radio stations, you mean on 2 or more SBs or SoftSqueeze? Usually radio stations can't be sync'd because of network latency and more importantly, because the tracks are usually one long stream. So even if they start out sync'd, they'll tend to drift out of sync as time passes. In contrast, when playing from your library slimserver can re-sync at the beginning of each track.

Can anyone compare the web interface performance using these devices. I would love to get a 770, but Tigerdirect has PSP (refurbs) for less than $140. I have no experience using the PSP, but I've used an old NEC pocket pc with the handheld skin. ...cool but slow. Which skin would one use with the PSP? -- polocruz polocruz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4296 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24841 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Transporter - Native support for WMA Lossless?
Josh Coalson;143065 Wrote: yeah, I see what you're saying, but as far as I know the libraries are binary-only and only work on windows, they're not going to help anyone except those already tethered to microsoft. maybe you mean it at least allows you to transcode on a windows machine? It lets you, at the very least, have a very good expectation that you can switch to something else at any time. If WMA Lossless works best for you now (because you love WMP11, have an Xbox 360 and XP MCE, and a Gigabeat S, for instance), you can put your music into WMA Lossless without worrying that you're getting permanently locked into a roach motel... or tethered to Microsoft. all that said, the basic problem is choosing closed, proprietary codecs designed to lock you in, then asking for support for them from the competitors of the codecs' creators. But Slim Devices isn't a competitor of Microsoft. They are -- or could be -- a partner, like Roku or D-Link or the other people making PlaysForSure devices. (And none of those can play WMA Lossless, either; but partners making feature request of Microsoft aren't the same as competitors doing so.) Obviously, Slim hasn't historically been particularly interested in being a part of the full-on Microsoft ecosystem -- and based on how badly the PlaysForSure partners have gotten fucked over with Zune, that's probably a good decision -- but they're still not a competitor in the way that Apple is. I think your solution of using FLAC + MP3 is the most reasonable right now. Me too... for me. But if I didn't have a Squeezebox, or lacked the technical inclination to make Foobar become a reasonable program, it'd be hard to argue with WMA Lossless. -- mkozlows mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28267 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: FairPlay News - a way forward?
Jez;143068 Wrote: I saw this and obviously was interested. But on reading deeper, what Jon is offering is the ability to ADD Fairplay DRM (or a clone of it) to content to enable it to play on Apple systems. I'm not sure exactly who this helps, but I'm probably being dim. Anyone who wants to sell music that will play on an iPod -- think Rhapsody, Napster, Yahoo, or anyone else who licensed DRM from Microsoft. They'd LOVE to have their stores work with iPods. Of course, this isn't really that, because if Apple didn't license it, Apple can (and based on historical precedent, will) break it whenever it feels like it. -- mkozlows mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28303 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
