[slim] FLAC album art weirdness (stupid noob tricks)
I recently transcoded my collection from alac to flac. As part of the process, I stuck all of the album art in the same directories as their respective albums, all named "cover.jpg" or "cover.gif". My tree structure is left over from itunes, so it's Artist/Album/*.flac, cover.jpg Weirdly, a few of the covers just don't appear in the web interface, no matter what I do. The directories in question don't have any weird characters in their names (there are spaces, but this is winxp, so I wouldn't think this would be a problem, and the vast majority work fine). I can't see any obvious commonality here: the ones that aren't showing up are all .jpg files. They open up fine in gimp, I've tried re-saving them at different sizes, etc, all to no avail. But I've tried uninistalling and reinstalling the server, and exactly the same files ended up not working, so there must be _something_ about them the server doesn't like. Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior? Is it something to do with the db getting wedged in a funny state? On that topic, is there a mysql client people like to use for browsing the table structures, executing and looking at results of queries, etc? -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31022 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well, I can't say I figured out what's going on, but it's working now (the way it should). I moved the server protol off of 9000 since some remote admin service also uses it and seems to be the likely target of an attack. So with the new port, I methodically did the following: Set new port in SlimServer. Opened the port in the Linux firewall for TCP Opened the port in the router for TCP Now everything works! Go figure. Could have been the order I did things, could have been the fact my dynamic dns wasn't working last night, could have been a corrupt routing table that had stale information and didn't know the IP changes. Screwy though, and it works now, so no complaining. Howeve I also got SoftSqueeze working and love it much better than any streaming application!

Thanks. I think iTunes streams need the UDP 9000 Port because it didn't work until I opened that up on the router. It was weird because the stream would connect and I could get the server on a browser. I uploaded a playlist, but the server would never "play". I'd click on it but it wouldn't register and of course, the player still didn't play anything even though it said "Welcome to SlimServer" and showed the song title that was cued up. It almost seemed like a return communication from player to server wasn't getting through. I don't know why that would be a datagram, but it didn't work until the UDP port was opened. Weird.

Re: [slim] Re: What does "Automatic Display Brightness" mean?
So how does this relate to the "Idle" and "Off" brightness settings? Are these settings irrelevant when auto dim is set to manual? idle is when it is sitting idle, ie when the screensaver kicks in.. If you have the auto brightness set to automatic, then when the player is idle, you get the idle brightness setting. If it is set to manual, then you get no change, and it stays at the brightness it was at until you press the brightness button to change it. It was a preference for those who didn't give a crap about any possible "burn-in" and pathologically hated anything that was automatically changing things when they weren't aware of it (most famous "my wife set it to dark and now it keeps going blank.").

[slim] Various Artist handling in 6.5.0
I've just started using my SB3 and am very pleased with it. I have a problem with slimserver which may result from incomplete understanding of how it works. I have several albums tagged with more than one artist for certain tracks e.g. Steve Earle's 'El Corazon' has Emmylou Harris siging on one track and is thus tagged as ARTIST steve earle; emmylou harris Slimserver seems to use the presence of multiple artist tags to define this album as a compilation. (Is this how it does it?) Now in Server Settings\Behaviour\Compilations if I select 'Group compilation albums together' the album 'El Corazon' shows up under 'various artists' but not 'Steve Earle'. If I select 'List compilation albums under each artist' then I see the album under Steve Earle but every artist for every compilation listed - which I don't want. I want to stick with 'Group compilation albums together' to keep the artists who only appear on compilations out of the artists list BUT I also want albums by one artist (with additional contributors on some tracks) to show up under that artist and not just in 'Various artists' Even if I set the tag ALBUM ARTIST or BAND to 'Steve Earle' the album still only shows up under 'Various Artists' - This happens whether I select 'List albums by band' or 'List albums by all artists for that album'. Naturally I have the checkbox for band/orchestra at the top of the page ticked.

I wrote the Nokia770 slimserver skin code and I'm pretty proud of how it's turned out thus far but, believe it or not, I'm in complete agreement with the previous posters. Slim's IR remote is what I use to control my squeezeboxen about 99% of the time. Works great, it's responsive, does the job. Managing playlists and viewing cover art are the drawbacks of the IR remote, but those drawbacks don't outweigh the ease of use provided by the IR remote. Price tag is nice, too. I see the UI endgame for me being a GUI, always-connected, touchscreen that sits close to (or is part of) the squeezebox, handles cover art, visually manages playlists, is silent, and is not as obtrusive as a full-size LCD. That product doesn't really exist right now (aside from the $12K Sooloos money pit), which is what drew me to start working on the Nokia 770. The 770 should be considered a first-generation device (even first in its class), and while loaded with "wow", it's not ideal as a slimserver controller. I will say, however, that the device drove some new thinking into slimserver skins, particularly with using AJAX for a more responsive user experience. That bodes well for the future. I'd also like a knob on the squeezebox, but of course I've said that before... cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30964 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Q:Playlists updated but..music won't play!
There have been a number of threads about scanning problems due to playlist issues - try a search. Like you, I've had problems with the scan for new/changed music (because scanner.exe itself does not terminate on my system for reasons that remain unidentified even after much discussion with Slimdevices support). My solution - and the procedure routinely adopted by many, I understand - is only ever to use clear and rescan. What happens when you use that? As for a progress monitor - there isn't one. And like me you may find that the web interface never updates to tell you the scan is finished (even when it has!). My solution for this - on my Win XP system - is as follows: # Start the 'Clear/rescan' # open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del, and click the Task Manager button) # open the Processes tab, and click 'Image Name' to sort the column alphabetically # scroll down to scanner.exe - the value of its CPU activity in the CPU column will be changing, and the CPU % at the bottom of the window will rise (can reach between 50% and 100%) # After a while (15-20 mins for 3500 tracks on my system) scanner.exe will finish and disappear from the Task Manager list - but the scan process is not finished yet! (CPU usage remains elevated.) # The two process, mysqld.exe and slim.exe become active - shown by the changing numbers in their 'CPU' column values, and by the sustained CPU usage at the bottom of the Task Manager screen. # Eventually, the CPU values for mysqld.exe and slim.exe will return to and stay at 00, and the CPU usage will drop back to 2%-4% (assuming you're not simultaneously running other programs). # If you now close Task Manager, and refresh the SlimServer web page (just click 'Home', or press Ctrl+f5) your library statistics will be displayed. Hope this helps. But, guys, isn't this a ridiculous way to have to monitor scan progress? Does anyone have a better way? And I know that scanning and screen updating may work fine for some people on some platforms - but that doesn't help those of us for whom it doesn't :( Very best wishes -- Diana -- Diana Diana's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7463 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30968 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
