I had done a preliminary search through docs and forums to see if this issue had come up before and seeing nothing, posted the question; perhaps a FAQ entry "you can roll your own if you like" would be appropriate. In an ideal world. the product would continue to support sqlite, *and* now MySql, with an install time option to choose one or the other. My two cents. Am not really interested in carrying this on further.

Slimserver didn't get any slimmer by adding MySql, my man. I don't claim slimserver/squeezebox... to be enterprise products, but a certain, reasonably high, percentage of its users happen to be technical folks. Maybe the product line has enough mainstream appeal now that it doesn't matter, but generally speaking ticking off your technical base and early adopters isn't a great idea. -- mwatkins mwatkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28414 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Slimserver 6.5 MySQL Requirement - Bad!
I can't believe that the queries used by slimserver couldn't be abstracted sufficiently to avoid issues with various flavours of SQL. Its not like the queries needed to support a music catalogue are rocket science. While its true that there are a great many differences between the various implementations of SQL, for a tool with needs as simple as slimserver's, using a middleware layer to hide those differences would have been an appropriate, even advantageous, decision. Sure, taking the middleware db-abstraction approach would have resulted in more databases being used, with a corresponding impact on support queries from the multitudes. I understand that, but I don't agree with the decision. A better decision would have been to use db-abstraction in the core, but announce support only for a single database, MySql if that is your choice. Solve the supportability issue by decree, rather than limiting the scope of the software's appeal. At least then you aren't walling the software off from others who might be interested in different sorts of mashups which might prove interesting to the community. This isn't about being married to one technology, or me or others being biggoted against another. Given that there are a plethora of db-abstraction layers out there, and slimserver's db requirements are practically infantile, the decision smacks of poor product management choices. -- mwatkins mwatkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28414 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Today Istarted to upgrade from 6.3.x to 6.5.x, only to note in the Makefile(FreeBSD ports) that MySQL is now a requirement.Some mistake, I thought, it must be! But apparently not... although ifsomeone can assure me that 6.5 and above will NOT require MySQL, that would be a big win.Assuming that the developers indeed have made a dreadful mistake andmade MySQL a requirement, I'd like to know... WHY?The data model and processing requirements for a tool like Slimserver do not outgrow the abilities of so-called 'embeddable' databases suchas sqlite. Convince me otherwise, if you can.Best read the archives of the developer list. The thing that really did in SQLite IMHO was its poor performance and high memory consumption, but IIRC there were some problems with growing into more advanced SQL as well. In my professional capacity I have shunned MySQL for years, but I'd bewilling to rant on about this requirement even if the developers had standardized on a database engine which I prefer (Postgres, even Oracleor SQL Server). Including yet another big chunk of software raises otherissues of security, compatibility and upgrades; yet another process on the box; another thing to manage and potentially backup.So my question is... why?In my professional capacity I frequently deal with people who are married to one technology choice or another. Since our product is closed source, I have to tell them that they need to chose their marriage or our product, because they can't have both. In this case, SlimServer is open source, so you're perfectly welcome to fire up vi or emacs and DBI into something else. I'm sure that the results would be welcomed on the wiki or as a patch. Of course, this represents a high opportunity cost, but if you really care, the option is there. I don't really care. I've worked as an administrator and lightweight devel/QA with MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Oracle... they all have their issues, and they all have their positives. Unfortunately the SQL standard is almost completely non-standard, so supporting more than one in a given application means a lot of "if I'm on this database, use X, but this other one needs Y, and the third one needs Z." That means poor performance. At the end of the day, the database support decision is kind of like the implementation language decision; you either grin and bear it, or you give up, because supporting more than one is not feasible.

[slim] Re: stream keeps stuttering
In 6.5, if a stream can be handled directly by the SB3 (i.e. mp3, WMA and Ogg-vobis), SS will try to set it up - I think this is the way Squeezenetwork works as well. Around the same time there have been lots of problem with shoutcasts so there may have been updates there as well. Given the SB3 works well with other MP3 sources, it would indicate the problem is with Shoutcast and/or network between your SB & Shoutcast. The problem may not have shown up in the past as the Shoutcast stream terminated in the PC and MP3 data was rebroadcast by SS to SB. At the moment you cannot force MP3 to be handled by SS - I am chasing a bug in this area and I found this anomaly. So the only real way to find out what's going on (don't forget it could be a router issue !) is to fire up Ethereal or similar. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28392 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Ceejay, are you sure you're talking about the _basic_ search ('Search
Music') and not the advanced search? The Advanced Search works like
this if you search for an artist. The basic search does not, nor is it
designed to.
Treble, again, the basic search is a simple search for a text string.
It's _not_ a search for an artist, so it won't read your mind and pull
up the tracks for the artists matched by the string. Use the Advanced
search to do that.

I had the problems with the noise at the beginning of tracks too, and I opened a Bug Ticket http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4312 I edited the tags of some of my mp3's with mp3tag_v2.36a, and I believe the problem occurs only at tracks that are edited with that program. Perhaps it doesn't write Tags properly. Later on my server crashed, and the top command showed me 99% cpu load for the mysql daemon.

If you need to go back to 6.3.1 as I have, the link is here: http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/SlimServer_v6.3.1/ Windows users can just download the .exe version - the zip file is not necessary. Be sure to uninstall 6.5 and make sure it's not running when you uninstall. To be safe, it's best to also delete the directory it was in after you uninstall. When you go back, you'll end up putting the previous firmware back into the SB.

[slim] Slimserver 6.5 MySQL Requirement - Bad!
I'm a long time slimserver user with an original squeezebox. Today I started to upgrade from 6.3.x to 6.5.x, only to note in the Makefile (FreeBSD ports) that MySQL is now a requirement. Some mistake, I thought, it must be! But apparently not... although if someone can assure me that 6.5 and above will NOT require MySQL, that would be a big win. Assuming that the developers indeed have made a dreadful mistake and made MySQL a requirement, I'd like to know... WHY? The data model and processing requirements for a tool like Slimserver do not outgrow the abilities of so-called 'embeddable' databases such as sqlite. Convince me otherwise, if you can. In my professional capacity I have shunned MySQL for years, but I'd be willing to rant on about this requirement even if the developers had standardized on a database engine which I prefer (Postgres, even Oracle or SQL Server). Including yet another big chunk of software raises other issues of security, compatibility and upgrades; yet another process on the box; another thing to manage and potentially backup. So my question is... why? -- mwatkins mwatkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28414 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

My last problem is that i used to use the automatic link of MoodLogic playlists when the server ran on my pc (with MoodLogic installed). On the NAS the MoodLogic option does not come up sinc it is not running the programme. Can i get the server to recognise my MoodLogic database and import the automatic playlists?

Well, I haven't got any, but if I did I'm sure I'd categorize it as "Classical;20thC". I can see that AvantGarde might be a useful value if I had much of that sort of thing. The distinction between Classical and non-classical is *mostly* clear... and isn't, in my mind at least, just a question of period. I mainly struggle when it comes to modern choral works such as those of Richard Allain. But at least the benefit of multi-value genre tagging is that you don't have to worry for long - if in doubt just give it multiple values and let it go!

So a Mozart symphony would be "classical;classicalperiod;symphony" and I can browse under any of those genres and find it. Or a Milhaud sonata might be "classical;20thC;chamber;woodwind".

[slim] Re: Tag problems with 6.5.0
I've also had significiant problems with albums that are tagged well enough for iTunes and Windows Media player, but don't show up in the Slim Server except by song name but No Artist, no Album. This was not an issue with the previous implementation of Slimserver. Since iTunes organizes the files with their names, Slimserver can figure out the song name based on the file, but it has none of the more detailed tag info. This is the case on my Windows XP box, but when I use the exact same files (on an external drive) on my Macintosh, Simserver works as intended. I therefore think there's a problem in the Windows implementation that's not present in the Mac version. Most of my MP3's were all ripped on a Mac using a LAME encoder. Why some of these work on the PC, and other's don't is beyond me. One thing I've noted is that lost MP3 tag info happens more with albums that have multiple disks. I have a habit of identifying the disk in a series in the tags, (e.g. 1 of 2), but I also include that information in the album title (e.g. "Physical Graffiti (1/2)" which gets translated in the file folder structure to "Physical Graffiti 1_2" I also took a look at the ID3 tags, they are v2.2 or v2.3. DB Power Amp sees the tag info as well and I don't have multiple tag versions in the files like other people have mentioned. --Matt -- mattnadler mattnadler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27848 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

For new rips of classical music, this is a tiny overhead given the amount of time I take to get the rest of the tags right! For each piece (or for a whole CD if all the pieces are similar) simply select the tracks in mp3tag and type in a genre string. Done! My record so far, I think, is 6 values on one piece... Of course, I'd already ripped most of my music when I decided to go down this route so I did have to retrofit it. It wasn't as bad as you might think: mp3tag will allow you select whole chunks of tracks so you can do them in big batches. And the ones where I had to stop and think about it were very interesting: I found myself listening to bits of tracks I hadn't heard for ages, and looking up composers and pieces in wiki or allmusic.com for more information.

After reading the response and responding in kind I started looking around at all this codec stuff. I bought the Slim Devices Squeezebox to link directly to iTunes as I am sure many other people do and as a Mac owner who likes top-quality lossless audio Apple Lossless was the best option for my files. I now find out that I have 2 choices: 1) Use FLAC and forget about using iTunes 2) Use ALAC and forget about using Squeezebox. I read the reviews and chose this format over the Roku for the looks, ease of installation and most importantly, ALAC compatibility. It looks like its not compatible. Am I reading something wrong? My Mac was pretty top spec when I bought it 2.5ghz Quad, 2.5gb ram. >From what I understand, the Mac has to convert the files to send to the Squeezebox. The Squeezebox graphic EQ looks like it is spasming and the sound stops and starts. Is there any plans for the Squeezebox to support Apple Lossless users. I have seen the Apple iTV box but do not want the the Video functionality or to have the TV on to use it. I love my Squeezebox.

I'm sorry, I now realize that you are referring to the WWW interface - I thought you were saying that the image filenames were actually appearing on the Squeezebox itself. If this is really a problem for you, perhaps there's a way using permissions or filenaming that would allow you to keep the images in place but have slim ignore them. -- Chip Hart - Pediatric Solutions * Physician's Computer Company chip @ pcc.com * 1 Main St. #7, Winooski, VT 05404 800-722-7708 * http://www.pcc.com/~chip f.802-846-8178 * Pediatric Software Just Got Smarter.

[slim] SlimServer Command Interface?
To hibernate my PC running SlimServer, and save power when no Squeezebox is using it, I would like to write a script that checks periodically then hibernates the machine if no activity for a set length of time. (Running on Linux Fedora Core 5.) Hibernate from command line works fine using Suspend2, and the squeezebox wakes the PC up (Wake on LAN) from hibernate when turned on by the remote. But what I am lacking is a way that I can check from a bash script whether any player is using the squeezebox -- is there any command interface to Slimserver? Would appreciate any information or advice. -- Niss Niss's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28403 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Since the scanner now exists as a separate program, you could *very* easily write your own script to do something like this. Or do what I've done: I already had scripts to manage the copying/placing of files in the right places on my server, I just added the line "c:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\scanner" --rescan g:\libraries\slim at the end. Yes, I do know its scanning the whole library, but it only takes 10 minutes [YMMV !!!] HTH Ceejay -- ceejay ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If I search on Elton John I get to a list of albums, which includes both the sole-artist albums and the compilation albums on which he appears. Which I think is the behaviour you want? So, which version of slimserver are you using? What settings do you have for compilation albums? You might want to try upgrading to 6.5.1 nightly and rescanning as there have been some changes...

It also gets one of "baroque", "classicalperiod", "romantic", "20thC". Except sometimes for crossover work when it might get two of those. Then its likely to get tagged as one of "symphony", "concerto", "choral" or "chamber". So a Mozart symphony would be "classical;classicalperiod;symphony" and I can browse under any of those genres and find it. Or a Milhaud sonata might be "classical;20thC;chamber;woodwind". The important thing for me was to think about how I want to choose music. Obviously if you know what you want to listen to, you just search for it and play it. But often I don't know - but I do feel like listening to something like... a symphony, or choral, or baroque, or piano. This system lets me do that. Personally I find this works very well, as I get a relatively short list of genres when browsing, but without being constrained by a restrictive classification system YMMV! Ideally, of course, I'd like to be able to do a cascaded browse so that having selected "symphony" I could then further browse by period (or conductor, or whatever)... this is the subject of an enhancement request!

[slim] Re: 6.5.0 is OK except for....
Hi, I dont use MusicIP all that often but it is useful to have around, so my solution is to skip slimserver integration and use the send to option and I use the remote desktop feature of WinXP Pro to drag the desktop of my server machine to a laptop in the lounge to effect remote control.
