Re: [slim] Shipping to United Kingdom

2007-04-23 Thread steve4586

I have bought 1 SB3 directly from SD in the US and one from Ebuyer very
recently.  The one from the US was very expensive in comparison. You
pay VAT not only on the SB3 but the delivery also.  SD use Fed Ex to
deliver and they always collect the Tax.  Not only that some has to be
in to collect it.  Can't remember the exact figured but it was over
£215

But, it was a lovely all black one!

I bought my second from Ebuyer for £190 inc delivery (when for the
cheap skate free delivery), however is was a black with the silver
bottom half, but was a UK spec power supply.

You pays yer money and takes yer choice.  Either way I am happy with
two SB3s and a stonkin' system!

[slim] Random Playing

2007-04-23 Thread AllanB

My 2 SB's have been great for approx 6 months, no real problems, or
problems can be sorted out by referring to the forum. However, just
this weekend when I browse for song artist or album, eveything comes up
fine and once chosen I can scroll through the album and everything is in
correct order. But when I press play, the songs play in a random order.
I am aware that this can happen if you browse the music folder, but
this now happens when browsing artists and albums.

Anyone have any clues whates happening?

System 2 No wireless SB's, windows XP, pentium 4 3gb

Re: [slim] Shipping to United Kingdom

2007-04-23 Thread BigEars

Hi,

For the record, over the last year I have bought separately an SB3,
Qnap TS101 and back-lit remote for these, and the service has been
excellent, both for pre-sales and support. Jon Nelson at Ripcaster even
rang me at home to clarify one point about the Qnap! I have seen a
couple of other postive comments here too.

All kit is running problem free and always has - the secret is to get a
setup that works, and then leave it alone, if you want close to consumer
electronics reliability. If you want to fiddle, then fair enough but
expect some challenges.

My setup is QNAPTS101 1.2.1 0822T/Slimserver 6.3.1/SB3/Stello DA100
through Monster Coax/Arcam Delta 90/BW CM1s + Linn Axis/Akito/K18II
for Vinyl.

Another thumbs up for Advanced MP3 Players. Might be a little more but
the service is great.

As said, importing is likely not much better if you get hit by
vat/duty. There's a very slim chance you might get away with it but I
doubt it with a product like that.

Also will Amazon.com ship electronics to the UK anyway? I know stuff
like software they refuse to ship here. I thought the same was true of
electronics.

Another point is you'll get a US adapter with it and you might find the
warranty isn't valid in the UK.

Re: [slim] Squeezbox and other new breed of music server solutions

2007-04-23 Thread adamslim

I've mentioned it several times before: Slim are great at the slim
client, but they need to sell the server option too.

How about a fully-configured NAS machine with a CD-ROM drive and a
Mac/Windows installer that sorts everything out for you (anyone with
Linux would probably be happy to do it themselves!) - detects the NAS,
configures its SlimServer for your network etc.

Also, some way to configure the SB3 for your wireless network (once you
have got the above installation sorted) by plugging it in wired and
sending the info would be nice - rather than having to enter a
megadigit key!  (Not sure if this is possible though)

I think the form factor/quality/price balance of the SB3 is great, but
it does need a geek.  Not a problem for me, but it does limit SD's
ability to take over the world.  They don't need to create an SB4 yet,
or even a hybrid TP/SB - they need to make their current devices able
to work for networking and computing novices.

Oh and a nice two-way communicating remote (or several options,
including knobby ones) would be the order of the day.  Could just
package up a Nokia 800 with a nice skin.

Hi,

I installed 6.5.1 on the latest Windows Home Server Beta (I joined the
Beta this weekend). Slimserver installs exactly the same way as on XP.
The features seem to be exactly the same, apart from the ability to
automatically start at system start (vs. at login) - though maybe this
option already existetd earlier, and I simply never have noticed it. So
far no problems, but also no real reason to use Home Server as compared
to normal XP (from a Slimserver perspective, that is).

Compared to a Linux installation (I set up Slimserver on Ubuntu 6.04
Server a few weeks ago), setting up Slimserver on Windows Home Server
is a lot easier (don't need to worry about Samba settings, UTF-8 vs.
ISO-settings, configuring the firewall correctly, etc.), i.e., the
total process of installing Windows Home Server and Slimserver up and
running took me approximately 1,5 hours. Performance seems to be not
quite as good, at least Slimserver's web interface seems less
snappy.

I haven't made up my mind yet whether I will continue to use Windows
Home Server (and eventually purchase it) or not. As stated, from a pure
Slimserver perspective, it doesn't make sense to use it because it
doesn't seem to have any advantage over XP. I need to play around more
with the other features, although at the moment the main selling points
seems the backup functionality.

Cheers,

teq

[slim] Feature request: Shortcut from Random Play to Play That Album

2007-04-23 Thread mswlogo

This may alreay be possible and if it is great, please tell me how.

I often use Random to Scan my music. I don't know what I'm in the
mood for until I hear it. So I start random play and do next, next,
next until I find what I want.

It would be so nice if there was a shortcut (single IR key) that I
could now ask the system to play the album of the currently song
playing.

This would really make things so nice.

It would seem very easy to do if it does not exist already.

Right now I have to often go to Now Playing, Scroll down to what album
it is, then go browse or search for it (sometimes 15 clicks).

Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Slimserver can't find each other.

2007-04-23 Thread wcattey

I switched my Squeezebox from wireless to wired operation, because I
read in other threads, that many people had worked around flakiness
with Squeezebox finding Slim Server by doing that.

Alas, today, the first time I tried to use m Squeezebox after taking
the latest Apple Security update, the Slim Server and the Squeezebox
had trouble finding each other.

This time around, I did NOT restart Slim Server.
I DID get repeated, Waking up Slim Server; Contacting Slim Server;
blank screen
I DID run Softsqueeze 3.3, and have no trouble at all connecting to the
server.
I DID power cycle the Squeezebox.

None of those activities seemed to affect whether I could make contact
between the Squeezebox and the Slim Server.

What worked this time?  While it said, Waking up Slim Server I hit
the left arrow key, and saw the message, that it was trying to connect
to my server. (I confirmed that the IP address was right.)

I hit the left and right arrows a few times.

Suddenely the dim clock face indicative of Slim Server and Squeeze box
finally finding each other manifested.

Why didn't it remember that I'd ALREADY hit the On switch, and that the
Squeezebox should NOT be in standby?

At that point I hit the On switch, and all behaved as if all was well.

I guess I'll have to enable debugging and fetch, install and run
ethereal to try and watch what's happening.

I have a reasonably simple network here, and my Replay TV and my
desktop have no problem finding each other and transferring
gigabyte-sized TV programs.  I think somehow, when the Apple server
reboots when Squeezebox is not expecting it, a problem ensues that the
initial Aloha does not seem to reconcile, and which power cycling the
Squeezebox also does not rememdy.

I will continue to watch.
Any further suggestions how to watch are most welcome.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Slimserver can't find each other.

2007-04-23 Thread danco

Interesting, that you have the problem with a wired connection. I had
always assumed it was a wireless issue.

I get the issue at times when my computer wakes from sleep, so it isn't
actually a matter of rebooting.

I solve the problem by pressing and holding the power button. This does
one of two things (I'm not sure why it doesn't consistently just do one
thing).

It either

immediately gives the message connecting to network and after a while
provides the clock face that shows it connects or

gives the Welcome to Squeezebox message followed by the to begin setup
press Right message. At that point I press Up and then Right and it
goes through the connection process ending with the clock.

If you can work out exactly what is happening it would be a great
service. It's only a small bug (since there is the easy work-around),
but it is still annoying and it would be good to have it eliminated.

I agree with your points: I would call it something like streamlining

Currently basically all methods for adding a new album w. artwork

the artwork in place before rescanning. Things are certainly not helped
by the fact that in order to do this in retrospect one must to do a
complete clear/rescan...aarghh. (There are a number of forum threads on

It's certainly not a showstopper for me, rather a minor annoyance.
However when adding up small quirks like this, it all of a sudden

Re: [slim] Configuring SB3 through a VPN

2007-04-23 Thread JJZolx

You can also set up a VPN endpoint on a computer on your home network. 
Perhaps the same VPN client that you use on your work PC may accomplish
this.  If your SlimServer isn't overloaded it may be ideal for this
purpose.

There are a lot of anti-virus solutions out there, and I believe most of
them come with a free trial period. I'd suggest trying another solution
and see how it works on your computer before buying it, then decide if
it's right for you.

 Why buy a new one when you can buy a used one, and the bandwidth is
 paid for by the company that builds and sells the new ones on the same
 site.
   
Bandwidth is cheap.
Not that many 2nd hand SB's are offered here or on E-bay.
A separate section makes sense.

 Yes, it would be nice to have a community away from eBay where you
 wouldn't have to compete with L@@K  GREAT KOSS CD PLAYER LIKE
 SLIM DEVICES SQUEEZEBOX!! when you enter a search term.
   

A active market for 2nd devices is a great incentive foir buying a new 
one. You can see that you can always sell it for a good price if you 
change your mind. SB's hold their value pretty well...

 I've mentioned it several times before: Slim are great at the slim
 client, but they need to sell the server option too.

 How about a fully-configured NAS machine with a CD-ROM drive and a
 Mac/Windows installer that sorts everything out for you (anyone with
 Linux would probably be happy to do it themselves!) - detects the NAS,
 configures its SlimServer for your network etc.

 Also, some way to configure the SB3 for your wireless network (once you
 have got the above installation sorted) by plugging it in wired and
 sending the info would be nice - rather than having to enter a
 megadigit key!  (Not sure if this is possible though)

 I think the form factor/quality/price balance of the SB3 is great, but
 it does need a geek.  Not a problem for me, but it does limit SD's
 ability to take over the world.  They don't need to create an SB4 yet,
 or even a hybrid TP/SB - they need to make their current devices able
 to work for networking and computing novices.

 Oh and a nice two-way communicating remote (or several options,
 including knobby ones) would be the order of the day.  Could just
 package up a Nokia 800 with a nice skin.
   

I'm counting on either a self-contained server or a smart remote as the 
next new SD product.

I wouldn't buy the server myself, but I probably would buy a smart 
SONOS-like remote especially if it would be hackable enough to make it 
control other things. Counting on that, too!

 What i would like is something that is 1080p capable and is attractive

 with a new squeezebox courtesy of the seasonal sale.
   

My preferred solution is to transport a computer display via CAT5 baluns 
and an FM modulator to the TV sets in the house. Then just play the 
video's on the computer (which itself is safely tucked away in the 
cellar). Anything you can play on the PC you can watch on the TV's.

Then I use my Lirc plugin to control the whole setup with my SB remote.

The software I use is MythTV on Linux. But the same kind of thing could 
be done with Windows MCE.

[slim] SlimServer and Spyware Doctor

2007-04-23 Thread ralphpnj

I'm a relatively new Transporter and Squeezebox owner and I've been
having a slight problem with my SlimServer set up on my computer. The
computer is a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows XP, service pack 2
with all the latest security updates installed.

Everything basically works fine as far as the SlimServer software goes
other than I find that it doesn't play nicely with Spyware Doctor. When
I have both Spyware Doctor and Slimserver running Spyware Doctor will
slowly begin to eat up the computer's resources until the system slows
to a crawl. So I just turn off Spyware Doctor when Slimserver is
running.

I did not have this problem with Spyware Doctor prior to installing and
running the SlimServer software. Any help, suggestions or possible
reasons and solutions would be most helpful and very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ralph

[slim] Maximizing the network

2007-04-23 Thread jotap_66

Hi:

I have a SB3 in my home, and a Linux Slimserver that is in my work. I
can hear all king of files (mp3,ogg) always but no always flac or ALAC
(uncompressed formats). I think this is due to the load of the network.
I can only hear flac (or ALAC) by night or in the weekend...I have a
4Mbit network...

The problem is that the flac is interrupted..and perhaps this could  be
solved getting larger chunks of the song. Is there any way to configure
this in slimeserver or in the client?

Thanks

Find the Player Settings  Audio and set the bitrate limiting to
something less than 320kbps.  You're going to be limited by the
outgoing speed of the work network, or the incoming speed of the home
network, whichever is lower.

Whatever the reason for the bottleneck it will limit you to streaming
files only up to a certain bitrate, so you need to find the limit of
what works.

If you're borderline you might find that there are certain times of day
when you still get drop outs.  This is certainly true of my situation,
where I can only stream 128kbps at times during the workday, but
comfortably stream at 192kbps or even 256kbps at nights and on
weekends.  Like most folks, I'm streaming in the opposite direction
from you - from my SlimServer at home to SoftSqueeze at work.

Re: [slim] As good as a Transporter (almost...) :-)

2007-04-23 Thread Grahame

I just tried this with an SB3 and instance of softsqueeze
as a proof of concept - it's a hoot.

1) Get to two SB'3 - We will call them  Left and Right.
2) Consider Left the Master, and Right the Slave, so sync
Right with Left using settings-synchronize  
3) Use the web interface to set up the screensaver / now playing
options etc - e.g. Left = Now playing info, Right = VU Meters
4) Disable the IR remote commands on Right via the web interface, 
so that only Left is controlled via the remote.

Enjoy your poor mans transporter!

Re: [slim] Certain artists not appearing in Slimserver library with itunes...

2007-04-23 Thread crane

slimserver is running on OSX (10.4.9).  Itunes on same server.

This issue with missing artists appeared after upgrading to 6.5.x. 
Never an issue with older builds.  For a while (6.5.1) I had missing
albums for an artist but that seemed to resolve when I went to the
6.5.2 nightly build.

I'll take a look at validating that there's no corruption on my tags.

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista

2007-04-23 Thread Ross L

Some changes have been made in the most recent nightly build that seem
to be clearing up the blank web interface after restart issue, without
the need for any work around. (bug 4748)

http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/SlimServer_6_5_x_v2007-04-23/

I realize most people that have run into this have likely found the
workaround to be functional. If anyone is still experiencing this issue
please try the latest nightly 6.5.2 

We are very much aware of SlimServer issues on Vista, and we're doing
our best to get the data to the right people so we can get these
wrinkles ironed out as soon as possible.

Re: [slim] Debugging help re Vista m4a issue, please

2007-04-23 Thread Matt Shelton

Enoch Light: I converted all of my CDs to m4a and have bought very
little from iTunes, so I haven't had a DRM issue.  How are you playing
your m4a's? Through Lame?

BPA:  Thanks again.  I had to take a mental break from this
exasperating problem for a week or two (my wife is ready to forbid me
from ever upgrading to a new op system again), although I miss my music
terribly!  Here are the results of the latest tests.

WMA files:   With wmadec/flac and wmadec both enabled and wmadec/lame
and Windows Media (built-in) both disabled, WMA files played
instantaneously (with only the built-in enabled, WMA files played
instantaneously).

All files – m4a, WMA, mp3 - play fine using SoftSqueeze.

I verified that neither SoftSqueeze nor QuickTime were running in the
system tray.  I opened QuickTime, tried to play a .m4a file, and got
either very long delays or complete program crashes. It really appears
to me that my issue is directly related to issues with QuickTime
running on Vista.

As many users have been reporting in the Vista threads, they are having
problems opening the web interface with 6.5.0 or 6.5.1 or 6.5.2. I
started having those same problems, and no matter what I did, I could
no longer get the web interface to work properly. So, I reinstalled
6.3.1, which was always the version that has worked best for me in XP.


Using 6.3.1, I followed your instructions re mplayer and
custom-convert.conf.  First, I got a banner when I started mplayer from
a cmd prompt. However, after closing and restarting slimserver and then
checking File Types, mov123 was still listed for FLAC, wav, etc.   I
next opened the custom-convert.conf file and noted that you had listed
the executable file as “mplayer”.  However, the executable file is
actually “mplayerrc1”.  So, I next went into WordPad and changed
“mplayer” to “mplayerrc1” in custom-convert.conf. I closed and
restarted SlimServer, and mov123 was still the default for FLAC, wav,
etc., and I didn’t have an option to select mplayerrc1.  So next,
deleted the custom-convert.conf file and opened convert.conf via
WordPad.  I simply changed the “mov123” reference in FLAC to
“mplayerrc1”.  I restarted my p.c., reopened slimserver, check File
Types, and mplayerrc1 was now in fact listed as the appropriate
decoder.  I found what happened next to be very interesting:  When I
tried to play a m4a song by selecting the m4a song from the
Squeezebox’s remote in my living room, the song began playing
instantaneously on my p.c. in my den by mplayer. However, the song did
not play on the Squeezebox; after about 20 seconds the Squeezebox
simply emited a very high pitched whine (I was able to duplicate this
scenario multiple times).  Although the Squeezebox didn’t work, I found
this encouraging, as selecting a song from my remote did in fact cause
an m4a file to play instantaneously, albeit not in the right place!

Next, I noticed, though, that the text for mov flc in the
custom-convert.conf file is quite a bit different than the applicable
text in convert.conf.  Therefore, thinking that it wasn’t as simple as
changing [mov123] to [mplayerrc1] in convert.conf, I replaced the mov
flc text in convert.conf in its entirety with the mov flc text in
custom-convert.conf.  End result:  Nothing played at all on the
Squeezebox or the p.c..  Mplayer didn’t start, nothing happened. 
Nevertheless, I’m still encouraged.  Do you have any thoughts or
advice? Do you think it could be a simple matter of ensuring the mov
flc code from mplayerrc1 is correct?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox dropping constantly

2007-04-23 Thread superduper

Yes, it's standing alone handsomely on the top of my entertainment
cabinet.  I haven't tried with a cable when it's dropping -- definitely
will be my next troubleshooting step.  The unplugging for a day fix
really threw me for a loop...

ah, wait there it goes.  Now it has updated Storable

And I think it worked!  SlimServer is running and scanning my music so
I can't test it until later.

Thanks!!
