Re: [slim] Time/Date Format in 6.5.2
Well, whether something was changed in the update depends on how exactly it is that you managed to do (with 6.5.1) something that people think you shouldn't have been able to! So lets try focussing on that. First, do you still have the 6.5.1 installation or have you wiped it out? If the latter, do you have a spare machine you could install it onto for test/comparison purposes? That would really help people diagnose what's going on here. Try setting it up and getting back to where you were with the time format display. This will also enable a positive confirmation that you can get the desired result without a tweak (deliberate or accidental) post installation. Then: what version, exactly, of the server software do you have? (6.5.1 is not a full answer - go to server settings and look at slimserver version). Or, of course, you could just try Jim's suggested patch of the slimserver.pref file...

[slim] Streaming CD Content
Hi, I now have several Squeezeboxes. I also have lots of CDs. What I was thinking about was streaming my CDs directly to the Squeezeboxes. That means I am looking for some software that not only plays the CDs but also creates a stream URL while playing. With that I could use the Squeezeboxes to connect to that stream and listen to music coming from my CD. Does somebody know of such software?

Re: [slim] SBs running out of sync
Are you playing individual tracks or internet radio? Internet radio will drift out of sync sooner or later, but slimserver should re-sync at the beginning of each track. Are you running wired or wireless? Wireless can be harder to sync because of interference from other devices, although again, it should re-sync at the beginning of each track. If you are running wireless, can you temporarily run them wired to see if it works any better? SlimDevices is aware of the problem. You can vote for this bug (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=259).

Re: [slim] SBs running out of sync
That's not a good assumption. The fact that it's an old bug and that it hasn't been fixed yet merely means that the bug is very complex to fix correctly. While sync works well in a general sense, there are lots of corner cases: gapless playback, long tracks or streams, multiple classes of device syncing, all of which can break the current implementation at some level. Rather than working around each bug on its own, a complete reengineering of the whole sync process is needed to really fix the root problems. This is no small task, and someone is working on it. Whether it'll be fixed in time to satisfy people is another question entirely, but it's definitely getting attention. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35801 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Make that musicmagic is started before you start slimserver. Moodlogic may have a corrupted db (happens a lot), so you need to start moodlogic, wait for it to start and be dome with whatever it might do then shut it down. Start slimserver up and hopefully it will work. if not use the command prompt: c:\program files\slimserver\server\slim.exe --d_plugins --d_moodlogic --d_musicmagic. As a side note, moodlogic support is not long for this world. The application has always presented a problem and nothing as been done with it in well over two years. Moodlogic support wont be in 6.5.3, so it might be worth simply weening yourself off at this point and focus on why musicmagic (MusicIP) is not showing as enabled. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] FLAC crackle
I have a FLAC file that plays fine on my laptop but on on my very new Squeezebox it has occasional crackling sounds, sort of like static or vinyl record crackling. I think it may be the high-frequency content. Because it sounds fine played on my laptop I think the problem lies in the Slimsever or Squeezebox. I've searched the forums and have turned off the replay gain but it has no effect. Converting the FLAC to a WAV did not reduce the crackling. The crackling was almost gone when I converted to a variable bitrate MP3 (about 256 average), but I think that was because the highs were attenuated. I also reduced the volume from the Squeezebox to 50% but it didn't help very much. The crackling always occurs in the same places, not with high overall volume but the spectrum analyzer shows lots of high frequency content. I'm running SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 12047 - Debian - EN - utf8 under Ubuntu (Xubuntu) on a 1 Ghz AMD laptop with 256 MB RAM. Any thoughts?

If not, why not? Surely a reason that causes a two month delay (mine was ordered on 31st March) warrants some kind of statement. If it's due to manufacturing delays of a Logitech-branded box, then just tell us. Are we talking approximately June, July, August, December? 2008? When? Could someone from the company please say something about it? I'm really looking forward to getting this box, and I'm sure I'll love it when (if) it arrives. There's really no reason for there being a delay. We have been transitioning to Logitech-branded Squeezeboxes, but have continued to ship Slim Devices-branded versions without interruption. As you've seen, there are units available in the UK, so I really don't understand why Amazon can't supply. I've asked our Area Sales Manager for the UK to contact Amazon and resolve why they don't have stock. -= Jim -- JimC JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35355 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
