[slim] To use squeezebox as a virtual sound device?
I'm a complete newbie totally lost in the fun of my toy. There seems to be great potentials yet to be uncovered. I mostly want it to be a external soundcard, so that I can watch DVD, listen to midi files, or even play games with that great little BOX! Technically it should not be that difficult. Basically squeezebox IS a wireless soundcard. I just don't see why it still must be used in a clumsy "database" mode which has to be reconstructed from time to time. All I want to see is a program that makes squeezebox appear in "sound and audio devices" under windows control panel. Is it possible, or is it already achieved? -- frui frui's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8347 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

the only thing that I've noticed is that the "time remaining" on tracks appears to be always wrong and adjusts itself by skipping seconds.

[slim] Various Artist Difficulties - Cumbersome Fix
Like several other posters, I have had tremendous difficulty with Various Artists since installing 6.5. My folder\file structure for VAs is: \Various Artists\\artist name - song name.flac. My preference is to have all artist names within Various Artists comps appear in the Artists list (i.e. have all VA artists be searchable). However, some VA artist names show up, and others don't even though their FLAC tags appear to follow the same convention. I have tried endless combinations of tags in FLAC to determine the "secret" combination to no avail. Today, I tried something that seemed to work, but is even more bizarre. Using Tag & Rename, I removed all tags for one VA file where the artist name wasn't searchable. I manually re-keyed the tags (song name, artist name, album name, album artist), saved them, then did a rescan. Magically, the artist showed up in the Artist list! Good enough, so then I tried the same procedure on all files within one VA subfolder. Rescanned, and NONE of the artist names appeared in the Artist list! So I went back and tried the same procedure with just 2 files, then rescaned. For the first file I corrected, the artist name appeared, but not the second file. As near as I can tell, the only method that seems to work is to manually retag one file at a time, and do a complete rescan for each file. Ugh!!! Surely this is a bug? Even more strange, checking or unchecking "part of a compilation" doesn't seem to have any effect. Has anyone else had the same experience, or a better solution?

I use: COMPILATION=1 DISC=0 I use 0 to differentiate from true multi disc sets, where I do uses DISC and DISCC. There doesn't seem to be any need for DISCC in this case, and I'm not sure if the COMPILATION tag is even needed. When I do this, I don't even see a disc number in the song info.

SD have changed the code in this areas several times trying to keep up with all the conflicting requirements, and the one constant is that they have never been able to please everyone. As it happens, I'm one of the ones that is very happy with the way its working right now, so I'm biased! But don't just assume its "broken", because it isn't.

So transferring recordings to a PC takes a long time. I sometimes do it, using my laptop, but it's frankly a bit of a pain. Also, after you've copied them across, although they are in standard MPG format, the files also have a ".REC" wrapper (program info, etc) which a lot of video software doesn't understand. VideoReDo will handle them, though. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29322 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

AFAIK all the data goes under the slimserver directory. But regardless of the data, the programs should have been cleaned out by deleting that directory! If you deleted that directory, and then installed 6.3.1 as a clean install, I cannot imagine how you would get MySQL errors appearing in your event log!

[slim] Re: Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
Good point. How about: What do playlists mean to you? (1) Never or very rarely use them (2) Not a big problem: use static playlists for parties or similar, current features ok (3) Use static playlists a lot, would like to see better features for managing them (4) Want to use smart or dynamic playlists, not just static ones. Current iTunes integration and/or plugins are usable for me (though could be better!). (5) Smart or dynamic playlists are very important, the current options are not good enough, really want to see this improved (6) Critical: if playlist handling in slimserver isn't improved I'm out of here Ceejay -- ceejay ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm not sure how to describe this in the poll options but I feel that its important to get some feedback if it is the smart playlist handling or the managing of static playlists that are important. Personally I don't have a single static playlist, but I have a lot of different smart playlists (using different plugins). In the suggested poll options I would probably vote "Important" but I am afraid that it could be interpreted as if I feel that better managing of static playlists are an important feature, which I don't. Implementation of smart playlists on the other hand I feel is very important. -- 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),'Custom Scan' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customscan) 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=26874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: 6.5.1 mysql problems
I started with the original Squeezebox with version 2 (I think) of the SlimServer software. I've pointed Slim Devices products at my friends and family who are greateful I did. It's very unhelpful to file a bug on general, unreproducible behavior. Yes, I could contact support and in the past they have been very helpful. This isn't a total knock against Slim Devices. But I can see from searching around the forum the problems I am having are not unique and started with the mysql backend. It just doesn't seem work with my music collection. It isn't just database problems I am tired of. The iTunes integration via periodic rescanning of the xml file doesn't work very well and really doesn't work in the context that I would like to use it. Even incremental scans takes a while and usually just ends up corrupting the database regardless of backend. Something that acts like an iTunes shared music client, similar to how support for Windows Media sharing or Rhapsody work, would be great. Unfortunately, it's a closed protocol (although it's been reverse engineered). For example, if I want to just listen to a podcast that I updated, oh boy. I manage my podcasts with iTunes and I subscribe to a lot of them. Browsing them with the SlimServer interface is impossible. I know about the podcast genre. It's not the same easy list iTunes has. Then the database keeps getting out of sync, showing episodes that no longer exist or mislabeling them and I end up having to do a clear and rescan everything (and a very long time) for them to show up properly. My music collection seems to be presented new and differently every day until it finally corrupts and brings down the server. These are just small examples of my frustrations. To say nothing of coming home from work and wanting to just play a certain album while balancing my upset 4 month old on my hip and seeing the database has once again lost its mind. So, I could work with support and try to end up with a situation where this is fixed, or I could sell my SB2 and purchase another product that's a better fit for my needs. I have tried out the Airport Express and it is something that just works better for me. Call me old, grumpy or no fun, but I'm past the point of wanting to tweak with my appliances or even work with tech support to make them work. It's just not for me anymore. -- Paul Forgey Paul Forgey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Versions up to 6.3.1 used SQLlite (though you could use MySQL if you wanted to). If your problem still appears in 6.3.1 then its not due to MySQL, or else you didn't completely clear out 6.5 when downgrading. 6.5 onwards ONLY use MySQL.

If MP3, might you have both v1 and v2 tags? Do you have any playlists? Using iTunes? One interesting (and easy) test would be to create a new music folder and just copy one or two albums into it. Make sure that you don't have any playlists in play. Then point SS at that folder as its library, turn on some debugging flags (d_scan at least, you could also search the forum for other suggestions), do a full clear and rescan and see what happens (look in the log file which is accessible from the debugging page).
