[slim] Dead squeezebox HELP !!!!!
My Squeezebox 3 for absolutely no reason has died on me 5 (yes FIVE!!) days after its one year warranty ended. It has been sitting in the spot for 1 year lightly used and well cared for - now when I start it the screen is blank and even though I still see it through the PC no sounds come out of it. This has been a VERY sudden death as no problems showed up before hand - I used it just the night before and it was as ok as ever... I contacted the retailer from whom I bought it and all they had to say is " we do have some new ones in Stock " ... nooffer of any other help whatsoever... Can someone at slimdevices be undertsanding... This is just 5 days after the one year warranty - and there is no reason why it should have stopped working so suddenly.

[slim] Change of computer name
This is an odd problem, most likely nothing to do with SlimServer/Squeezebox, but since I first noticed it when the SB made a connection after my router rebooted, it seems worth raising it here. Using a Mac Powerbook G4, OS 10.4.8, Draytek Vigor 2600 router firmware 2.5.6, SlimServer 6.5.0. The name of my computer has changed recently in Terminal, though when I open a Finder window the machine still have the name I gave it. The new name is Vigor12. I have a Vigor router, and the local IP address is 192.168.1.12, which is probably why the name ends in 12. But I have no idea how this has happened or how to change it back. Draytek support don't seem to have come across this issue. In fact the support guy keeps referring to SSID which (i) I would not expect to be relevant, since I am just working locally (ii) also doesn't seem relevant, as the router (whose firmware I upgraded recently) does DHCP, but is not a wireless router. I do have a wireless network (computer and Airport Extreme base station both wired into the router) which I use for my Squeezebox, and the first mention of Vigor12 I came across was when my Squeezebox was reconnecting after the firmware upgrade. And the SB, when I go through setup, now says "Connect to Vigor12 (192.168.1.12)" when previously (older version of SS software?) It just said "Connect to 192.168.1.12". -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31849 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I didn't get a message about this through the announcements list, so I'd like to take this opportunity to again ask for it to be revived. The main discussion list is high volume; too high for me. I stay subscribed to keep abreast of announcements. I asked about this 'before' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22737), and some interest was expressed in an announcements-only list. It was pointed out that one already exists but is seldom used; this announcement seems to support that. In 'bug#3259' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3259) I suggested that the announcements list be revived. I proposed that an announcement made elsewhere should, if some checkbox was ticked on submission, be copied to the announcements list along with a link to the _original_ message. Thus, a copy of the 6.5.1 release announcement would be emailed to all who were interested, and would refer to this very thread for follow-up discussion (keeping the announcements list free of follow-ups). This seems like a good time to raise the suggestion again.

Re: [slim] Change of computer name
danco wrote: This is an odd problem, most likely nothing to do with SlimServer/Squeezebox, but since I first noticed it when the SB made a connection after my router rebooted, it seems worth raising it here. Using a Mac Powerbook G4, OS 10.4.8, Draytek Vigor 2600 router firmware 2.5.6, SlimServer 6.5.0. The name of my computer has changed recently in Terminal, though when I open a Finder window the machine still have the name I gave it. The new name is Vigor12. I have a Vigor router, and the local IP address is 192.168.1.12, which is probably why the name ends in 12. But I have no idea how this has happened or how to change it back. Draytek support don't seem to have come across this issue. In fact the support guy keeps referring to SSID which (i) I would not expect to be relevant, since I am just working locally (ii) also doesn't seem relevant, as the router (whose firmware I upgraded recently) does DHCP, but is not a wireless router. I do have a wireless network (computer and Airport Extreme base station both wired into the router) which I use for my Squeezebox, and the first mention of Vigor12 I came across was when my Squeezebox was reconnecting after the firmware upgrade. And the SB, when I go through setup, now says "Connect to Vigor12 (192.168.1.12)" when previously (older version of SS software?) It just said "Connect to 192.168.1.12". I think it's the hostname your Vigor passes to your machine via DHCP. If you want to get rid of it you might try specifying an IP address for your PC manually.

[slim] Re: Gaps between songs in 6.5.1
haunyack, I have been out of the Slim World for a while after I returned my Squeezebox. I thought the concept had potential, but like you I wound up feeling the product does not perform as advertised. My guess is they do not have a worthy development team. Just a guess, but it seems like they need more programmers, and maybe pay them more, and have them work more hours? I sense you are feeling the "void" and there is little more they can do. As a test I often try softsqueeze with the latest Slim Server builds (6.5.1). It does not play back music properly, and does some of the things it used to do a year ago, like skipping the first moments of a track and failing to playback gapless albums. I've tried these tests multiple times with completely different PC's, routers, wireless cards, and even the actual Squeezebox3. It still has potential, but just does not work properly. I would estimate the value of any of these products at around $50, considering the poorly developed server software. Once they get the software right they might have a solid hardware product.

[slim] Re: Compilation albums - problem
Hello, I recently upgraded to SlimServer 6.5, and ran into the problem posted by the original poster - all of my compilation albums show up fragmented when I browse by albums - i.e. one album per artist. I browsed around the forums quite a bit and realized that this seems to be a somewhat controversial issue, but I am still left with no real idea of how to fix this in my case. My specifics are as follows: - All of my music is from the iTunes library, which uses an Artist/Album/Song directory structure. - I tried toggling the "Group compilation albums together" flag and rescanning, but that did not work. Is it supposed to work in this case? (I seem to recall reading a thread about this working only if the scan order happened to process the tracks of the album contiguously.) - I tried upgrading to 6.5.1 (from 6.5.0), but that didn't help either. - SlimDevices support claims that unless I put all of the music from an album into one directory, there is no way I can get them to cluster into a single album on Browse by Album. Does this mean that I am out of luck with this issue if I use an iTunes based music library? (Seems kind of strange that the default directory structure used by something as ubiquitous as iTunes would map to an undesirable behavior in SlimServer - especially since older versions of SS seemed to handle it better.) I haven't tried any of the fancier solutions involving editing mp3 tags yet, but I would like to know if there was some way to get this to work without having to mess around with those each time after I have ripped a CD into iTunes. If all else fails, is there a way to easily go to an older version of SlimServer? My concern here is that my past upgrades have always resulted in a corresponding firmware upgrade on the Squeezebox, and I am not sure how going backwards on the server version will affect the Squeezebox.

[slim] 6.5.1 questions
Now that it's official, I am trying 6.5.1 again
(have been using 6.3.1 apart from an early foray into
6.5.1 two months ago). I use WinXP SP2.
One thing I noticed is some of the older skins are missing
(exbrowse, default2). Are these or more skins available
elsewhere as plugins?
The total track count ("songs")
still shows 17 less than it should (I have 49487
tracks (mp3 files) in all; the song count shown
by slimserver is 49470). Also the artist count
is incorrect (2632 while it should be 2633).
I have convinced myself after some debugging that all
tracks are scanned properly and are in the library;
so my current theory is that there is something
unconventional in the way the count statistics are
gathered by slimserver. What might account for
the undercounting of all tracks and artists in the library
in 6.5.1? All counts are accurate in SS 6.3.1.
Also, as other threads have pointed out, FF and REW
buttons don't really work (neither with the remote
nor from slimserver, eg with the fishbone skin, and,
again, all my files are 256Kbs CBR MP3). But this problem
exists with 6.3.1 (and associated firmware) as well.
Any chance FF and REW will be fixed eventually?
Thanks

[slim] US: senate bill threatens Internet Radio with DRM requirement
For my fellow US customers... last Thursday, US Senators Dianne Feinstein [D,CA], Lamar Alexander [R,TN], Joe Biden [D,DE] , and Lindsey Graham [R,SC] re-introduced a bill called the "PERFORM Act of 2007" [S.256] that, in the opinion of the EFF, would require all webcasters to use DRM with their music streams. This seems to me very likely to 1) shut down a large number of webcasts 2) make the others incompatible with the relatively DRM-free Squeezebox and Transporter devices 3) reduce the Internet "airplay" that artists get, therefore reducing the SoundExchange royalties that they would have earned The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's worth noting that the bill's four co-sponsors represent both the Democratic and Republican parties, and all sit on the Judiciary Committee, representing one fifth of the committee's members.

Tonight, it got as far as the Infernal Dance in the Firebird Suite before barfing. I found that even the 1000kbps network test was hitting significant dropouts (average 96%, but got much lower on occasion and even cut off completely at one point). I switched to channel 6, and twiddled with the router aerials (one vertical, one horizontal). Signal strength on the SB3 went up to 60-70, and it's been fine ever since (touch Formica), all the way from Bach to Ossian (though the latter, I'm shocked to discover, is still largely 96kb wma... and the sources are on loan to folky friends at the moment.) Maybe a little early to be popping the champagne corks (but hey, it's Friday!) This evening, NetStumbler showed a plethora of nearby networks on channels 1, 6 and 11, which pretty much covers the lot, I guess; but all were intermittent, and none got an SNR above the low 20s. Mine, and what appears to be its b*stard sibling (or doppelganger) 00 were hitting 73. Incidentally, whilst serving WMA, Network Health is reporting that streaming is Inactive, and Buffer Fullness shows *nothing at all*. Maybe the files are just too small to show up! :-) Right now, I'm hearing glitches that are almost certainly ripping errors (heavens knows what I used originally), so these are ripe for a flacking... Of course, if I'm more or less happy listening to 96kbps wma, why am I worrying about problems with FLAC delivery?!
