Re: [slim] Why is the Squeezebox so dependant on the server?
Guys, I agree with the OP about remote latency, connectivity and buffering. These are all a pain in the backside for me. However, they are also own goals, because I'm using an underpowered server, one of my wireless routers is surrounded by electronics, the other is surrounded by more electronics and sits in a Faraday cage style metal stereo rack, and I keep them at opposite ends of a house with significant rebar. I'm perpetually amazed that my network works at all. Even so, the only time latency becomes really ignificant is when I'm working with both iTunes and slim at the same time. As I see it, Logitech/Slim can deal with this issue by simply upping the minimum required server spec and bandwidth requirements for the broader release. Most people will not be terrible stressed to see a requirement for a 2GHz+, 2GB+ @ 54MBs or better. If you want to get by on less powerful hardware, you can, but don't be too surprised by the performance hit you suffer. -- Laz Laz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33695 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

That depends how your electricity is generated. It might not be a CO2 generating kind.

Re: [slim] Not all is rosey in Squeeze Box land
>From an old post of mine when I was seeing "random dropouts". I root caused much of my trouble to the microwave oven: avoiding Microwave oven and adjacent WLAN Interference So I looked into things tonight. My Microwave oven is running at 2450MHz. This is approximately WiFi channel 8.5 . Turn out I was using channel 7 on my WLAN. It makes sense that I get interference from the microwave. I doubt a the WiFi recevier has that great of rejection to strong energy only 1.5 channels away, Also, I am no expert on Microwave ovens, but I suspect the are not the most spectrally pure of noise generators. Running at 2450MHz, they are still probably pumpin out some junk at 7 or 8 MHz away. So then what channel should I use? To answer that question I took my laptop computer and used it as a receiver to measure my neighbors WiFi Channels they are using. I am in ear shot of signals from my neighbors on channels 1, 3, 6 (several folks on Ch 6), and 11. So, I changed my WLAN to channel 4.

[slim] Wake on Lan wakes the wrong MAC
I've got a squeezebox 3 (firmware v72) wirelessly connected to a router and on to a pc in my garage. The garage pc connects wirelessly to the router too, via a client bridge (Buffalo WBR-G54 running DD-WRT). Everything works fine, except for Wake On Lan. I'd really like to get this going, so here's the reason it's not: A bit of packet sniffing with ethereal shows that the SB is sending its magic packet to the MAC of the bridge rather than the MAC of the pc. WOL is fully enabled on the pc, and I can wake it up using my wireless laptop and a magic packet generator pointing at the correct MAC. I can't see a way to tell the SB to use the correct MAC, as it seems to work it out from traffic. Interestingly, windows gets the MAC correct if you do a "nbtstat -a ", but SB is getting it wrong. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Re: [slim] Upgrade to 6.5.1: Music won't play but Internet Radio will
What file type are you trying to play? If slimserver is running, and connected to the SB, but failing to play, there may be a problem with some transcoding setup. Are you playing ALAC by any chance?

Re: [slim] Why is the Squeezebox so dependant on the server?
Well, I'm bringing up this one issue because I see it as something Slim could possibly address in future releases, or should at least consider IMHO. The hardware I'm using has been advertised as compatible, and acceptable according to both companies in a joint press release and on both of their home pages as I recall. I paid an extra $50 for an included wireless and I don't have a wired home. I'm not starting a poll or submitting a bug report or a web protest page, overall I'm a happy camper. I'm just saying based on my experience this is sometimes a problem, and here's a possible solution. Moore's law is still in effect and to continue to load everything on the server is a mistake IMHO. The real hole in the thin client setup is that chips keep getting faster, so basically all you end up doing is crippling increasingly powerful chips with a mainframe/terminal based approach. Sitting 2 feet from my Squeezebox is a Galaxymedia TVisto multi-media hard drive enclosure. It's fugly, there's no community forum that I know of, it doesn't have a network connection, but for less than the price of a Squeezebox you can get one with a 400GB hard drive and it has most of the same audio playback functionality with video as well, with no server at all. I don't consider it a replacement for the Squeezebox, but for the average user it's much more idiot-proof and if it had an led display it would be a viable competitor. I have a minor vested interest in Slim at this point and I'd like to see an open technology succeed as opposed to some proprietary soup from Redmond or Cupertino, but they really need to attack the performance problem from every angle. The other guys are going to throw hardware at the problem at every level, Slim's going to get buried by one of big boys if they're not careful. I don't want the Squeezebox to become some cumbersome beast, but it seems to me there's some low hanging fruit which could make the Squeezebox's UI more responsive, reduce network traffic, and server load. If that's not the case then so be it, it's just an idea, and I wanted to put it out here. -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33695 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Upgrade to 6.5.1: Music won't play but Internet Radio will

Now, when I try to play music from my hard drive, the name of the track appears on the Slimbox but the progress bar does not progress. On the other hand, I can connect and play radio stations with no problem. Things I have tried: -Hard reset (hold down Power on remote) -New firmware (hold down brightness on remote) -Reinstall -Reinstall Slimserver 6.2.1 -Complete reinstall using Control Panel Remove Programs and then deletion of Slimserver directory, then reinstall of 6.5.1 Any ideas about what to do next would be much appreciated, Mike in Philadelphia -- Mike Tordoff Mike Tordoff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33725 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox and Parasound Zamp
Am doing a mini kitchen/dining room remodel and will be pairing a new SB (yes, black...very nice) with a Parasound Zamp.

I've listened to some Polk's, but would love more options. Room is about 13 x 18 ft, hardwood floors, drywall construction. Price range somewhere around $500 for the speaker set (give or take). Last question: does anyone have a recommendation for an IR repeater kit for use with a wall hanging LCD TV (so I can bury my cable box DVR in the closet out of the way?

Re: [slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
Thanks Richard for all your tips. They give me some ideas for further investigation :) I have two other computers on which I can install the slimserver. (BTW, I've double checked and I had indeed installed the 6.5.1 archive which seems to impose a firmware upgrade version 70). I've triple check the network for duplicated addresses and I'm convinced that I don't have any. I've also verified the router setting and I've restarted the slimserver (dedicated PC) as well as the two SB3, the switch and the router. I've turned down all other computer systems on the network (BTW they all get DHCP addresses except for the Slimserver PC which has a unique static IP address). In any case, the problem still persists. One SB works flawlessly and the other one keeps rebooting 2 seconds into playing a song. I haven't tried ogg files yet. But I'll try this next along with a different PC to host the server. For now just to verify that I didn't have a bad hardware device, I've reinstalled the Slimserver v6.2.1. Both SB3 now work perfectly well as they used to. Both SB3 have automatically "downgraded" the firmware to version 28. I haven't changed the rest of the hardware or network configurations. So this is definitively related to installing v6.5.1 in conjonction to the firmware 70. For now I'm okay and I'll do more experiments (with a different PC) with 6.5.1 or even 6.5.2 as I've liked the new features of the v6.5.1. I'll also play around a bit more with the CLI. Thanks a lot for your help Richard. I'll let you know if I make any progress with 6.5.1 on a different PC.

This is an interesting discussion. For Slim to penetrate the mass market then they are either going to have to create a server solution to run Slimserver or the SB4 is going to be a fatter client to offload the server. >From my own experience the SB3 is fantastic and changed the way I listen to music. I am so glad the SB3 supports lossless formats and is aimed at good audio reproduction. Playing MP3 at 128K through a decent audio hi-fi setup is nonsense. My system is wired and I have moved away from a NAS solution to dedicated server. Howver the server is a Mini-ITX solution which I put together for less than £400 and it consumes just just 25W. By NAS is now purely a NAS device. I believe streaming shows up the inadequacies of WiFi and this is not the fault of Slim. If your can't run dedicated Cat5 then why not look at using your power circuit and use the numerous Powerline devices on the market? -- Paul_B Paul ~ Slimserver 6.5.1 on EPIA VIA EN15000 Mini-ITX running Windows 2003 R2.

Re: [slim] My scanning doesn't work
Well, you said your files are MP3, but the error log shows it is trying to find WAV files. Here's a guess: your ripping program (EAC?) is creating playlists for each album (you don't need these, BTW, but I think it might be a default??). The playlists are pointing to WAVs. But you are then transcoding to MP3 and deleting the WAVs (this is what EAC does). So you are left with playlist files pointing to WAV files that don't exist. Delete the playlist files and all will be well. Just a theory, of course...

That's a very interesting remark: if you can use Moose's volume control, but not the remote, than you've very probably got a communication problem between your SB and the server, not a performance issue on the server. Moose uses the same server to handle the volume as does using the IR remote control. If this is instant, compared to the remote, then you should check your network connection.

Re: [slim] How do I allow power-saving Standby mode?
First of all, thanks to all who threw in their two-cents worth on this. After trying some of the ideas, and then a few of my own, I got this to work - pretty much. Environment: Windows XP Pro, with a two-year old HP PC that has good power management options. Action #1: Disabling the Clock Screensaver had no affect on the problem. The Squeezebox still re-awakened the PC seconds after going into standby. Action #2: The device manager for my network card (Realtek Fast Ethernet NIC) had some fairly confusing settings for Wake on LAN functions, but by checking the box "Only allow management stations to bring the computer out of standby," I got the results I was hoping for. The computer would enter Standby mode as planned, and would not wake up until I pressed a key on the Squeezebox remote. If music was playing, the system would not enter Standby mode until the music stopped. Success! An aside here - For testing purposes, I had the Standby Mode timer set to a minute, which worked great except the computer would go into Standby while the music was still playing. I finally figured out it was because enough music was being buffered ahead that Squeezebox wasn't asking for more before the timer expired. (FLAC files) I upped it to 2 minutes and cured the problem. Action #3: I'm halfway there. The PC will enter standby after the music stops playing and wake up when I press a Squeezebox remote button, but the Squeezebox alarm function won't work. Presumably the alarm is controlled by Slim Server, which is peacefully slumbering in Standby. I cured this by setting a Scheduled Task in Windows to wake up an hour or so before the alarm is set to fire. (My Standby mode is set at 2 hours.) Sure enough, the PC wakes up and the alarm fires as scheduled and Slim Server begins playing. Unfortunately, the fact that Slim Server is playing doesn't necessarily mean any music is coming out. After being in Standby, SS occasinally seems to forget where the volume is set, which means it's either muted completely or so low I can't hear it. Touching the volume button on the remote immediately cures the problem - assuming I'm awake. Other than this niggly problem, however, everything works exactly as I hoped. When I'm not using it, my PC now draws 3 watts instead of 100, and tomorrow morning I'll feel like an environmental giant - if I'm awake.

Re: [slim] Why is the Squeezebox so dependant on the server?
SuperQ: Thanks for the clarification, I'm not an embedded programmer, or even a regular programmer, but it seemed simple enough to me. I'm running 6.5.1 and in general (90+% of the time) the response from the Squeezebox is almost instantaneous, even artist searches in lazysearch, but on the rare occasion that the volume doesn't work, I get very frustrated as I don't want to have to use the component remote as well. Also I think at the level of investment ($200+ outside of special sales :) ) the satisfaction level of the Squeezebox is lacking when you're occasionally faced with this dilemma. People may tell me otherwise, but I think regardless of the server power, in a wifi network you're always going to get latency. While I can understand the idea of feeding everything through the server makes sense, in real world usage the response from the remote trumps any control from the server in terms of volume. I sometimes use Moose as an ersatz remote, but I would gladly sacrifice any volume control from the server. If I want it silent from a server interface I can always pause or stop it. My feeling is everyone understands and experiences server lag on a daily basis, but people get very frustrated when the completely lose control of the UI. My hope was that this was something that was being worked on, but it sounds like it's part of the design. The goal of 7.0 so things should only get better going forward and I can alway opt for another machine to host my SlimServer, but I think making as much of the UI run local on the Squeezebox will result in the most noticeable performance improvements for many people. I'm happy with the Slimserver/ReadyNas combo, but I'm nerdy enough to forgive their shortcomings, and appreciate the great forums like this. People ask me for recommendations all the time on this type of stuff, I'd like to be able to recommend these devices, or similar, without reservation. But it sounds like running Slim on anything besides a full PC at this point would be too frustrating for the less technical. And with most configurations costing more than $1000 in extra hardware and effort just to run MP3 through their stereo people will just pass.

Re: [slim] How do I allow power-saving Standby mode?
As I understand Mike New's problem is, that his PC wakes up or does not go into standby as long as his SB's are connected to mains power. Mike, try disabling clock screensaver (and all other screensavers too) so that the SB's display goes blank when powered down. Additionally set WOL in device properties (WinXP) to magic packet only. This prevents your server to wake up from network activity other than SB's. When I had clock saver active on my PC did not want to power down too. Now I have running it for a year or so and standby (in my case hibernation) works like a charm. -- michel michel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4393 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33678 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
Sounds like duplicate IP address trouble. Or two slimservers that think
they should be responding to that SQB. The reset is happening very
quickly. Have you shutdown all devices in the network (unplug
switches/wireless AP/etc). And then restarted?
Do you have another computer that you can install slim 6.5.2 and just
test the faulty SQB?
Also, the SQB recieves a firmware update as part of newer versions of
slimserver. An update of the server may change how the SQB responds.
I have not used the RS232 interface. The CLI interface is a plugin for
controlling slimserver through a command line (telnet) interface.
"Telnet {slimserverip} 9090". Launch the web interface for a running
slimserver, and you can find detailed information on the CLI interface
from "Help/Technical Information".
Have you ever tried to play ogg files or connect to an ogg based radio

Re: [slim] My scanning doesn't work
It worked when I runned the scan manually. Why doesn't it work from Slimserver-explorer ?!? Anyway, it found most albums (I think) but I got an error that looks like this: Code: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corporation C:\Documents and Settings\Joakim>c:\Program\Slimserver\server\scanner.exe --resc an 2007-03-17 16:51:42.8759 About to look for files in D:\Min musik\MP3 2007-03-17 16:51:42.8770 For files with extensions in: [(?i-xsm:\.(?:ape|wma|shn |wav|wave|mp3|mp2|flc|flac|m4a|mov|m4b|mp4|mp+|mpc|ogg|aif|aiff|lnk|cue)$)] 2007-03-17 16:51:59.4531 Found 6042 files in D:\Min musik\MP3 2007-03-17 16:57:13.8281 ERROR: parseCUE: Couldn't find referenced FILE: [D:\Min musik\MP3\Jul\Bing Crosby - Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics\Bing Crosby - Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics\10 - I Wish You a Merry Christmas.wav] on disk!

Re: [slim] How do I allow power-saving Standby mode?
Sounds like you might have your slim server box set to wake on any network traffic rather than just a WOL signal. You're squeezebox continually polls your slim server machine (dont ask me why.. still seems like a strange design decision to me, but that is the way it is) Dont know what OS you are using though.. can we have more details? -- bigjules bigjules's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33678 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Softsqueeze. It will connect to the server much like a squeezebox. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33706 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How do I allow power-saving Standby mode?
Yeah, it works here. But to be honest, I cannont tell you why that is. Maybe you have some setting (plugins!!!) that recheck with the server every so-and-so. I don't know, stupid RSS feeds or alikes. Maybe you should reset the whole thing? Or try and disable most of the plugins for a start at least.

Re: [slim] How does "new Music" update?
Autorescan has been around for ages. I have it rescan every night at 3am or something. I do a full wipe-scan then, just in case there were a lot of changed tags: it works better to wipe first since that ensures old tags get deleted. Of course, that means leaving the server on at odd hours, but mine does more than slimserver these days so thats not a big deal. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32764 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
