I find your remark about "mental deficiency" particularly offensive so I would appreciate it if you could tone down your language. As for Rockbox themes... some of them are pretty basic, yes, but in my opinion many of them look fantastic - see http://www.rockbox-themes.org/ (personally I use aZure v2 on my Sansa). The beauty of Rockbox is that you can easily create your own design so feel free to create one that's up to your standard.

One more thing: if you do go the SSH route, you might want to change your default port, it'll help avoid people pounding on it all day (although this may not bother you). In a default OpenSSH installation, its in C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\sshd_config. Another point about using Tunellier: it gives you a nice, automated way to get a remote desktop back to the server (assuming you're running Windows), which I use a lot to do things like restart SlimServer if it crashes, fix tags if I see them broken, etc. And of course, like any SSH client, lets you point both SoftSqueeze and your web browser at 127.0.0.1.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I closed all my ports and am using Hamachi right now, and listening to my Slimserver with MediaMonkey. I still can't seem to get Softsqueeze to work, but that's kind of moot now as this works very well streaming at 320Kbps. I understand the point about Hamachi being a weak point.

[slim] Sonos now available at Best Buy
For some reason I thought their product was already available in big-box locations. Normally a dangerous venture due to rubber-band sales (ie. many sales come right back to the store). Sonos might be able to escape this without taking huge hits, but only for one very important reason. Polish. (That's "paw"-lish, not "po"-lish like in perogies) Anyone that's been following the DAP and streamer market for the past few years should know it's about the only thing they have above the Squeezebox and a number of other solutions. This counts for a lot in the consumer space and helps to make sure products aren't returned due to things like customer frustration in setting them up. I can't imagine Logitech having purchased Slim Devices if it didn't intend, at some point, to move huge volumes of product to the consumer channel. When are we going to see a redeployed Slim Devices web site? More importantly, a super-polished and no-brainer to set up version 7 software release? Eye candy in the form of a graphical controller practically sells the Sonos solution on its own, so come on Logitech, when's it coming... Here's hoping that Logitech doesn't rely only on its superior distribution channel to move product and that we continue to see innovation and a move into a more graphically pleasant (and highly usable) interfaces. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36259 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Sonos now available at Best Buy
I don't know, how successful will Sonos be in bog-box stores? Logislim will be in more or less the same position. It requires a knowledgeable sales staff, which big box stores don't have. You have Joe Six-Pack going in, seeing the Linksys/D-Link/Netgear "long audio cable" solution for $99, seeing AppleTV for $299 (or whatever), then seeing Sonos at $899. Since you indicate you're in Toronto - you must have seen Sonos pricing in Canada. They will have a really hard time competing with the "long audio cable"/remote soundcard solutions from all the networking companies - Logitech will as well. Joe Six-Pack won't know any better, all these devices allow for computer audio playback through his stereo, right? If anything he'll think that AppleTV is the desired upgrade because it can do video and because, well, it's from Apple - the iPod folks. Slim's intention before the Logitech takeover was to move into higher-end chains with more knowledgeable sales staff and more knowledgeable customers but this market segment isn't doing too well. Logitech has the distribution capability and sales connections to market it wherever they wish but at this point it's between big box stores or direct. They might as well try the big box retailers but it won't be easy. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'

That's the reason I use the SB remote volume on my living room system, and I have two more scenarios for you: (2) the amp is so old it doesn't have a remote (my basement system) and (3) the "amp" is a pair of active speakers that are a pain to reach to adjust the volume on the speaker (my kitchen system). And here's a variation on (3): I'll soon be replacing the active speakers with in-ceiling speakers and an amp tucked away out of sight (and out of IR range) in a cupboard. I can definitely see your point about using the amp/receiver volume control in many many circumstances, but one size definitely doesn't fit all. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36143 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Fluorescent light bulb freaks out Squeezebox
Stupid me trying to save a little energy! Recently I switched the lighting in the room where my SqueezeBox 2 sits from incandescent to compact fluorescent bulbs. Unfortunately this totally freaks out my Squeezebox when I am using the remote control. When I press a button on the remote the SB either does nothing at all, does what it is supposed to do or (most of the time) repeats the desired command indefinitely. Rather annoying if you want to turn up the value juuust a notch and end up running to the stereo to shut it off because the volume on the SB went straight up all the way to 100. Has anybody of you experienced the same issue? Is there any way to circumvent this (aside from switching back to incandescent of course)?

[slim] a possible fix for a slim server pet peeve?
Let me start by saying this isn't a flame... I'm a huge fan of the product. However, I have one minor gripe, that could perhaps be alleviated rather easily. When first turning on the device and playing a song after coming home in the evening, the squeezebox always freezes for several seconds before beginning playback. My assumption is that this is caused by the server spinning up the disk to access the music file, after several hours of inactivity. If this assumption is correct, perhaps a fix would be to do a dummy disk read/write to the music folder on a seperate thread, when a squeezebox is powered on or accessed for the first time in some predetermined window? By the time I've browsed through my library to find what I want to play, the disk(s) will have had time to spin up, and playback will be immediate. Thoughts?

Re: [slim] SS 6.5.2 - Missing Albums under Artist
I am running SlimServer V6.5.2 on a Windows machine. My music library is not managed, except by SlimServer. I rip music with dBpoweramp music converter directly into FLAC format and am pretty religious about making sure COMPOSER tags are accurate. The problem is that two CDs with the same name "Let It Be" (Beatles and Replacements) doesn't work right. In all cases the Album Art is from the Beatles "Let It Be", the title is listed correctly ("Let It Be") and the Artist is listed "by The Beatles, The Replacements". If I am viewing via All Artists, i.e. visually browsing album art for all artists, the merged album appears in the Various Artists section and lists all the songs from both CDs. It doesn't appear in the Beatles or Replacements sections. If I choose the Beatles from the text list of albums, then Let It Be shows up there with the correct songs (and correct Album Art, but superfluous artist - the Replacements - as noted). If I choose the Replacements from the text list of albums, then Let It Be shows up with the correct songs, wrong album art, and superfluous artist - the Beatles. Physically the CDs are ripped to different directories with different album art, artists, etc. The only thing that is the same is the CD name. Is 6.5.3 stable enough that it is worth a try?

Re: [slim] Fluorescent light bulb freaks out Squeezebox
The reason it does this is because of a heuristic in the firmware that deliberately interprets "garbage" IR codes as the repeat command. The reason we do this is so that if a user points the remote control away from the sensor briefly while doing a press-and-hold, it still works as a continued press and hold. Currently there is no option to disable this behavior. Often times the IR sensor can be triggered by older lighting systems used in offices, which emit a high frequency flickering that triggers the sensor. In those cases it can be fixed by installing new ballasts. It's not so much an issue of the color of the light (its amount of IR content) so much as the frequency (several KHz) of any flickering. Eg sunlight has load of IR but won't cause a problem. This is the first I've heard of it being a problem with compact fluorescent bulbs. Out of curiosity do you have the make/model of the bulbs? Have you checked if there is anything simple you can do to work around the issue, such as putting the SB below a shelf, moving the light, etc? -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

To make a symbolic link in Mac, download and install MakeSymlink: http://www.naratt.com/MakeSymlink.html This will add to contextual menus when you ctrl-click on files an option to "make symbolic link". Then place this symbolic link in your music folder. This is like an alias, but OS X aliases don't work in slimserver, so you have to use symbolic links, which are a unix thing.

Re: [slim] slim.exe has encountered a problem...
I had this happen a few times as well. Usually soon after doing a Windows Update. First time (that I bothered to report the error, that is) I followed the instructions on the link to install MS's suggested patch (and yes, it did take two reboots before the message went away). All seemed well. After the next Windows Update, it happened again - and I got told to install the same damn patch! I assumed that WU had trashed the patch, so I went through the tedious thing again. I've not seen it happen for a while. But in the meantime I've upgraded to a more recent version of SS (sorry, no details of old/new versions to hand right now), so maybe it was that that fixed it. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36268 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Music hangs - Firmware rollback? Slimserver rollback?
I've been having this problem since I upgraded to 6.5.2. I do not need to cycle power on the squeezebox to get it back though. I can simply click the next song from the slimserver interface. It is very annoying. Slimserver is running on linux, music collection is flac. Do let me know if you figure this one out. I'll probably end up reverting back to 6.5.1 since I didn't have any real reason to upgrade in the first place (except that I try to stay fairly current so I don't get too far behind).

Re: [slim] Fast forward/Rewind
I totally agree but you can fix it. One huge problem is, the Fast Forward and Rewind Buttons are double mapped. They are mapped to Next Track / Previous Track AND Fast Forward and Rewind. Depending on how long and how many times you tap it. You can remap these to different buttons. Once seperated they work much better. You do this by editing the Default.map file in the server\IR directory. Also you cannot have transcoding active and the format must be native (e.g. FLAC) for fast forward to work. It's still not as smooth and robust as a CD player but it's usable. As shipped it's unusable in my opinion too. The fix above also makes Next Track/Previous track more robust too. I split them to the Volume Up down buttons because I use an external DAC. Then on my Harmony remote I map them correctly to SEPERATE FF/RW Next Track/Previous Track buttons. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian 861V4 (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP5500 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36287 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
