[slim] Slow SqueezeBox 3 power-up
Hi, I have noticed my SB3's (I have two, one wired and one wireless) are taking a long time (30-60secs) to startup when pressing the Power button on my remote - i.e. going from standby to ON. I got the latest 6.5.2 nightly build last week to make sure I had the latest code, but it is still a problem. It seems to be worse when starting up 'cold'. Once started, I can switch from standby and back again instantly. I *think* the slow down may coincide with the purchase of my second SB3 (the wireless one in my bedroom). Is this likely? Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do to improve things, as it is very frustrating when you want to listen to some music and you have to wait up to a minute before anything responds. NOTE: the delay is the same on both wired and wireless devices. -- SumnerBoy SumnerBoy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8924 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35264 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I *think* the slow down may coincide with the purchase of my second SB3 (the wireless one in my bedroom). Is this likely? I don't think so. I rather presume your server either being slow or gone to power saving mode. Once the box is powered up, can you power off/up with no delay at all or is it always that slow?

This has been discussed to some degree in the audiophile thread (Linn Records now doing Flac) http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34985 Bascially, you can play 24/96 flac files on the SB3 if you recode them in real-time as compression-level-0 as they are streaming.

I find the noise floor rises considerably as a result of the way the SB3 down-samples a 96kHz stream to 48 kHz.

Re: [slim] SB3 chokes on 24/96
Thanks! Yep, I tried the convert.conf thing and the SB3 plays appropriately. There *is* an audible hiss in the material, however during quiet passages, I am not sure if this is in the source or not. I would have to compare it with my transporter. -- MrD -MrD === 1 Transporter 2 Squeezeboxen v3 1 Squeezebox v1 1 SliMP3 Linux x86-64 SlimServer 6.5.1 MrD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20512 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] APE problem
My APE files won't even play with APE--FLAC or APE--WAV. When I enable ONLY APE--MP3 (LAME), there is a terrible hissing / white noise sound and hardly any music is audible. I've searched the forums for this problem, and found one thread, but it doesn't appear to have been solved. I've upgraded to the latest Slimserver, as well as the latest LAME. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: [slim] SB3 chokes on 24/96
MrD, I think you will likely find that the hiss you hear will not be present when the same file is played through your transporter. I suspect the SB3 firmware lacks an adequate decimation filter for receiving a 96 kHz stream, (I suspect maybe there is none at all) ... maybe there is not enough room in the SB3 for such an addition? -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 - CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A - Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max - Sennheiser 650s *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20512 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] DVD files
Cliston, I have been using DVD Audio Ripper V.4.0 with pretty good results. I then convert the resulting WAV files to FLAC using DBpowerAMP. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 - CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A - Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max - Sennheiser 650s *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35273 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Any ideas would be appreciated. Reply With Quote first, look for the convert.conf file. It should be located where you installed slimserver. Open that up with your favourite text editor (use wordpad instead of notepad if you are on windows) Find the line: ape mp3 * * remove the '-x' from the line following, save and close. Restart the server and see if that helps. For streaming in the other formats, go into server settings-debugging and check d_source. Find the link for the log at the end up the description text near the top of the page, click on that to open a view of the log. Watch the log when you try to play using the -FLAC or -WAV options. See if there are any errors reported. If you have trouble interpreting the log, you can paste sections of it here. cheers, kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slow SqueezeBox 3 power-up
I tried turning on debugging for d_client and d_startup but there didn't seem to be anything obvious in the logs. There is no dates or times in the logs either, so difficult to work out where a delay may be occuring. I just tried to fire up both SB3's after them being powered down all day. My server was idle, but was not in standby - I had just finished working on it. Both SB3's (wired and wireless) took 10secs to startup. Can anyone else offer any suggestions on how to diagnose this problem? -- SumnerBoy SumnerBoy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8924 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35264 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
