[slim] Re: 6.5.0 scan error (sql)
Found the bug. The song had a tag called "ID", which confused the scanner because "id" is the PK for the "tracks" table. I think the scanner code should be a bit smarter to deal with these cases. Anyways, I just deleted the "ID" tag and got around the problem. Probably should be a bug report. -- zulu zulu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28440 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You can keep album art in a seperate image file, or directly in the mp3 itself (in a tag). iTunes will read from either location, but if you use it to download, it saves it in a seperate file - where other apps can't see it. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28466 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

So you would go to a command line and type "sudo nano /etc/fstab". It would then prompt you for a password, and as long as you're the one who installed Ubuntu, you can just give your usual password and it will let you in as root. You will then be in the text editor "nano", with /etc/fstab open for editing.

[slim] Looking for Good Info on Album Art Downloading
Can anyone point me to a good primer on album art downloading? I'm interesting in learning more about how it works. I am using MP3 as my file format. For example, I've noticed that if I use MP3Tag to find album art, it seems to store it in such a way that iTunes also can see it. But if I use iTunes to find the album artwork, then MP3Tag does NOT see it. So it would seem that both programs use a different technique for storing artwork. If anyone knows of a good FAQ or article that discusses the various ways album artwork can be stored for MP3 files, I'd appreciate it! -- BBobley BBobley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1338 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28466 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have all of my CDs encoded using FLAC. I recently added replaygain tags to the files. My first question is: Does the gain adjustment get performed at the Server or the player? Secondly: Obviously, if the first answer is 'Server', then the adjustment is carried out in the digital domain. However, if the adjustment is performed at the player, is this done in the digital or the analogue domain? If the adjustment is performed in the digital domain, then it must be a 'lossy' process and not conducive to good perfect reproduction of the original waveform.

Re: [slim] Slimserver 6.5 MySQL Requirement - Bad!
Assuming that the developers indeed have made a dreadful mistake and made MySQL a requirement, I'd like to know... WHY? One reason that hasn't been mentioned is the inability (or buggyness in this area?) of SQLite to serve more than one process. The scanner is now run in a separate process. 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. May be the data model isn't complex, but the user in this application is more demanding than your accountant: ours are used to waiting a second or two for a new screen. Most of the users here don't want to wait so long when browsing their music collection on the display. That said I'll add that I've already been using MySQL with earlier SlimServers as it was about 30% faster in tests using the CLI. Probably not representative, but good enough a reason for me to swap. -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm using netstat from a shell script for that. The script calls netstat at regular intervals (2 minutes at present), resetting a timeout if there are inet connections which don't match a predefined list of don't-care services. There's a fixed connection showing up on netstat for any connected Squeezebox, so it's an easy task to not shut down before all of them are down. Similarly, any connected PC (member of the same workgroup) is represented by a netbios connection.

I'm really surprised this was committed to the stable 6.5.1. If the new SlimTray reconfigured the service on its own, then it's be a pretty large bug. Aside from the ugly windows opening up, the biggest issue here is that it requires a user to be logged on. So if someone chooses this and decides to log off the computer when they're not using it, there goees SlimServer. What happens when one user logs off the computer and another logs on? Isn't that going to interrupt any music streams coming from the server when SlimServer shuts down and then restarts? Has this been tested with XP's fast user switching?

[slim] Re: Slimserver 6.5 MySQL Requirement - Bad!
I really can't see the big problem here. We had a bundled database in 6.3(SQLite) in 6.5 we also have a bundled database(MySQL). If you are a non technical person, you don't se any difference. There is no extra installation, there is no exta configuration. If you are a technical person who didn't administate/manage the SQLite datbase with third party tools you won't se any difference. There is no extra configuration or management with the bundled MySQL compared to the earlier bundled SQLite database. The MySQL database bundled is by default configured with no network support, so the security risk shouldn't be a problem either. If you are a technical person who cares about the database and wan't to administrate/manage it with third party tools, you will see the difference. Earlier you had to use user unfriendly tools towards a text file which could easily be corrupted, now with MySQL there is a lot of third party tools available which you can use to manage/administrate your database. Slim Devices could of course have choosen to say that they support ANY database, but that would probably have been a huge hit on the support team which would result in that we would get less support for real problems. It would probably also have resulted in less time for the developers to implement real slimserver functions because they had to spend time to make sure to test the existing code toward all available database products. The only bad thing I personally can see with MySQL is if it make slimserver not to work on low memory/slow CPU devices such as NAS boxes. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 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!
If you read through the 3rd Party stuff there are quite a few threads showing that some of the NAS (network attached storage) devices are taking a huge hit in performance with 6.5.x This could well be due to the need for MySQL (or not - ive not had time to read the SS source code). However an option to keep the old database format would possibly be good for these groups of people - if it works; dont fix it. If you need improved performance then the path is probably to have a custom mini-itx / PC based system; in which case MySQL is not a problem.

Check out the 3rd Party Hardware threads for QNAP stuff. Basically the QNAP does not support SS out of the box; a firmware upgrade is needed from Progressive Audio - www.progressiveav.com Edit - whoops just saw this was at the end of a long thread - and info probably already known.

Another question - should the qnap have come with some documentation for the above and beyond the standard qnap quickstart guide and manual?

(2) You'd be surprised how quickly you can work through these if you put your mind to it, using mp3tag and its filter and sort capabilities, especially if your music is consistently tagged in the first place. You can also use its regular expression capabilities to write scripts to add a value to a multi-valued tag, which can be helpful. I'll bet you could cover 90% of almost any classical collection in a weekend...

[slim] Re: Slimserver 6.5 MySQL Requirement - Bad!
> For folks that have a few thousand or so titles and don't need the > complication of a c/s rdb, sqlite performs more than adequately. I beg to differ. On my Slimserver box, which is a lowly PIII 600, the performance improvement from migrating the database to MySQL was DRAMATIC. Despite the extra processes, memory etc, it was a very obvious improvement in speed of response. That was under SS 6.3, so the only variable was the database itself, the SS code was unchanged. I think we can all easily get bogged down by dogma, but what matters is results. The other arguments are irrelevant to most users, they don't care what database is used, they only care about whether it works or not, something it plainly does ;) Andy. -- Andrew L. Weekes Andrew L.
