[slim] Re: Full Scan Not Getting All Files
It turns out the errors were due to some tags in my files. After launching slimserver with "--d_scan --d_paths --d_mp3 --d_info", I was able to see the file names that were causing the problem. The debug output was placed in the logfile on the server (/tmp/slimserver.log). I cleared the id3 tags on the "bad" files and reset them using 'Zortam Mp3 Media Studio' (http://www.zortam.com/) (I just found this online while trying to fix my tags from my networked Windows box. Otherwise I would have used 'EasyTag' (http://easytag.sourceforge.net/) in Linux). I'm fairly new to utilizing debug flags and found the ones I listed to at least get me the info I was looking for. Unfortunately, it took a very long time and generated a fairly large log file I had to wade through.

[slim] Re: Transporter vs ??
Some audiophiles do go by weight. It can be an indicator of build quality - discrete components and metal construction rather than integrated components and plastic construction obviously weighs more, but as you noted, manufacturers can cheat. In the case of a turntable though, I'd say it's probably there for stability. The Transporter is made from aluminum. Maybe they should have made it out of depleted uranium? :-) There's no weight listed for the Transporter. That could be good (no "faux audiophile" gimmicry of listing it prominently when it really has nothing to do with the sound) or it could be bad when competing against an 8 kg device. I'd prefer to get something where the manufacturer isn't too concerned about the weight and concentrates on the sound rather than specifically engineering the product to be heavy, perhaps at the expense of something that actually impacts the sound. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28615 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Since you have Max encoding to flac I'll assume you have the flac and
metaflac programs installed. Metaflac can calculate the replaygain
for flac files and add the tags. If you tell it to work on a group of
files it will assume those files are an album and will add album and
track gain tags at the same time. Sooo... assuming (hoping) you have
each album in it's own directory you can add replaygain tags by
changing into that directory in the terminal application and running
the command:
metaflac --add-replay-gain --preserve-modtime *.flac
I have a little script that will traverse into subdirectories and
process all the flac files. Copy the following into a file and make
it executable. The run it from the top level directory where all your
flac files are. It will apply replay gain to all the flac files in
all the subdirectories treating all files in a directory as an album.
It will recalculate and apply the values even if the files already
have RG tags so after the first run use it directly in an album
directory to process newly added albums.
#!/bin/bash
BASE="$PWD"
find "$PWD" -type d | while read dir ; do
cd "$dir"
if [ $(ls | grep "\.flac$" | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then
echo "$(date "+%T") Processing: ${PWD#$BASE/}"

That doesn't look too bad, though it would be good to see with the stats reset to 0 first. If you get persitent readings over 0.5 seconds then this could cause stuttering. In this case its worth enabling logging of events which take over 0.5 seconds [go to bottom of page and put 0.5 in the High box nxt to "Set All" and press "Set All". Leave running for a while whilst playing and then look at the server log - does it show any warnings about response times? Alternative, itts possible you have something that causes short bursts of wireless interference - so that nettest normally runs OK, but would drop for a second during the interference.

[slim] Re: Stuttering, and the File Types page
The network test plugin will give you an idea of what your usable bandwidth is. In terms of the conversion page, you are selecting which formats/conversions are available for use. Which one is actually used depends on the source file format and the type of player. Each player has a preference order for formats (for SB3 I think it's FLAC, WAV, WMA, OGG, MP3) - the server either sends the file as-is if that's possible, or otherwise finds the transcoding path which ends up with the highest preference file type. So streaming FLAC will always send FLAC if you have "FLAC/FLAC (built-in)" selected. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28681 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Where "the same problem" is spending time working around a bug without bothering to report it in the bug database so it has a chance of ever getting fixed? It's worth noting that while some related bugs have been fixed, no-one seems to have actually reported the issue you folks keep complaining about: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2874 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242 A good rule of thumb is, if you ever find yourself wanting to ask about the status of something on the mailing list, either refer to it by bug number, or chastise yourself for not having filed a bug yet, file the bug, and then refer to it by bug number. Speaking as a developer (though not one that works on this product) it is orders of magnitude easier to close duplicate and redundant bug reports than it is to track and fix issues that aren't being reported in the bug system. - Marc ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: 6.5.1 => Nasty Electronic Sound on startup & Severe Track delays
Same Problem for me. Nasty sound starting some of the tracks. I Don't use iTunes at all. The embedded cover art may very well be the problem and may explain why some tracks have it and others don't. I'll check on that soon.

Try the following. I'm assuming Slimserver has been installed in the default location on your machine. # Right-click Kaspersky AV icon in the system tray. In the shortcut menu select Settings. # Click Protection - Trusted Zone. # Click the Exclusions Masks tab - Add. Make sure the Object option is chek marked. # By the Object name click Specify. # Browse to the Outpost folder (by default C:\Program Files\Slimserver\server) and check mark the option "Include subfolders". # By the Checking task click Selected. The line should look like this: The object will not be scanned if the following conditions are met: Object name: C:\Program Files\Slimserver\server Checking task: any task # Save your settings by clicking OK 3 times. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28688 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Happy SB2 - Wireless Signal Strength to Stream FLAC's ?
Try using Net test plugin to see if you can get about 2500kbps @100%. This is a short burst test so interference won't show up. The Server health may also highlight transmission vs other problems. If you are using windows - another indicator of the quality of the connection can be found with the TCP statistics - from a command prompt window "netstat -p TCP -s". Unfortunately this is for all TCP connections but high no. retransmits is one indicator of interference. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28689 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

not sure if signal strength takes any account of interference, which is often a problem... tried changing channel?

I've just investigated one of my problem albums, and the tracks do not have any embedded cover art.

Just wondering if I have something a miss as I'm sure I have read that peoples SB's have worked with 30% or so signal strength. Mine has trouble in the high 50's anything less and SB2 says I need more signal to work...please! Just wondering if 50-60% is a normal cut off for streaming FLAC's ?

[slim] Anit-Virus Problem: Kasperky Internet Security 6.0
Hello, after having read the forum I now found out that my anti virus program seems to be the reason for all the problems I face recently with SlimServer. Unfortunately I can't find how to tell Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 to leave SlimServer (and the MySQL stuff) do their thing without bothering. Kasperky support is very bad: They say they don't answer questions about other companies programs. So does anyone of you use the same anti virus program and can tell me how to solve my problem?

Also if you re-start the service, Slimserver "forget's" that it was in Random mix mode and your playlist does not get any more tracks added to it. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28675 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Mandriva 2007 and YAML::Syck
Thanks guys, I have finished the music server using version 6.3.1. I will try to test 6.5.0 on a different machine. To get 6.3.1 working with Mandriva Free 2007.0 I only needed to install two extra packages: perl-DBD-SQLite-1.12-3mdv2007.0 perl-CGI-3.16.1mdk There seemed to be an issue with the versions however. Slim Server -did not- work with the newer version 2.x of SQLite. I used a mini-itx board in a SilverStone LC-19 case. It's a nice setup as the board is fanless and virtually silent. Here is a photo.
