Re: [slim] Library Scanning problems
Any recommedations on what to do? Now that you have problems with 6.3, too, you could just update to 6.5.3 and fix the issues on the latest version. If you can't upgrade, uninstall the existing version first (after backing up the original), reinstall. Run the scanner after enabling d_scan and d_info in the debugging section of the slimserver.

Re: [slim] Networking question
Now that I've had some time I've thought this through and have corrected the issue without resorting to a single subnet - the key reason I implemented two to begin with (which I should have mentioned at the outset) is that the 192.168.168.x subnet provides gigabit connectivity between all PCs and NAS devices. Changing to a single subnet would force the 10/100 broadband router into the equation, which, if I'm not mistaken will adversely impact network performance when copying between two devices on the subnet etc - from memory gigabit NICS will negotiate down to the lowest common denominator on the network, effectively turning everything into a 10/100 network. The wireless EOP is a Netcomm NP290W. I now have it configured to allow wireless access to slimserver (looking forward to the N800, in the meantime my PDA will suffice). If I'm wrong about the single subnet performance issue I'll happily implement it.

Any normal html changes (width= or height=) dont seem to change the display size of the icon. I could create a new larger icon, but wanted to try to leave the files clean and not add new icons.

[slim] SSH and Port forwarding on a Mac (help please)
Hi, I have set up my mac with the following port forwards in my router (airport express) port 80 to 9000 port 3483 to 3483 First question is will the 80 to 9000 work. It seams to make the interface in a browser much simpler becouse the user just has to type in my web address rather then adding the :9000 on the end? What I do not know is if it will mess other things up. Second question is how do I set up SSH on a mac. I am not a programmer or a terminal wizz so is there a step by step way to do it or is this likely to be beyond me? Thanks for your help.

Re: [slim] Slimserver won't start automatically
Nope, the 2k3 enterprise box is a fresh install on Saturday, nothing (major, just dns and active directory) but slimserver on there currently. The XP box is a fresh install with just slimserver, the other 2k3 box is about a 1yr old install just NOD 32 AV (set to skip the entire slimserver directory) and general odds and ends. None of them have any protection systems/software firewalls/etc on them apart from the old 2k3 box as mentioned. -- iSix iSix's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6160 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31162 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SSH and Port forwarding on a Mac (help please)
First question is will the 80 to 9000 work. It seams to make the interface in a browser much simpler becouse the user just has to type in my web address rather then adding the :9000 on the end? What I do not know is if it will mess other things up. Correct. The player will expect port 9000, too. But I would suggest _not_ to open these ports on the router, as they open up your installation to the world. Please read the forums and the wiki about VPN, Hamachi and the like. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?ConnectingRemotely Second question is how do I set up SSH on a mac. I am not a programmer or a terminal wizz so is there a step by step way to do it or is this likely to be beyond me? SSH client or server? If you want to use SSH to tunnel the above protocols, then it's a good start. But you'll only have to forward port 22 on the router. More details in the wiki article.

Re: [slim] Unable to access KFI and other CC urls
Well, I'll answer my own question. I just received this from the KFI techs: The problem you are having may be related to the fact that Clear Channel Radio recently transitioned their Terrestrial Radio streams over to secured streaming with Akamai. The purpose of secure streaming is to protect the intellectual property by prohibiting direct linking to the stream publishing url. These new secured streams will require token generation and authentication directly through the player. I apologize...there is not a direct link I can give you. -- jderbish jderbish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36519 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Yes, I am getting an iphone . . . I can't help myself!
You don't need to wait, just use your imagination. Switch to the appropriate skin on slimserver. Take a screenshot and print it at scale to match the size of the apple display. Now try to imagine reading the text and touching the hot spots on that small screen. It may be a cool device, but controlling slimserver with it isn't a good reason to buy it.

Re: [slim] Yes, I am getting an iphone . . . I can't help myself!
Yes, the iPhone is enjoying somewhat more hype than it may deserve, although it is high on 'cool factor'. They aren't being released here in Australia until sometime next year, by which time I suspect the honeymoon will be over to some degree for a lot of users, although the die-hard Apple followers will stay romantically attached for longer I suspect. I recently purchased an 8 Gig Nokia N91, which functions as a wireless remote via the browser to my SB3 admirably, and is also a great music player, phone, diary, IM client, 3G phone, etc etc. -- peejay Music is what feelings sound like - Unknown peejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7046 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36438 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Recommendations for in-ceiling speakers?
Also on a budget, I installed 812C Mitec 8 Speakers from Smarthome in the bedroom about 6' apart and 3' from the side walls and 5' from the headboard wall. (I have waterproof 6.5 speakers over the showers and they don't sound as good but are adequate and supply both stereo channels.) I am happy. I replaced my large'ish AE EVO floor standing bedroom speakers and think it was an OK trade. Further though, I used the Leviton speaker connections to get the wiring out of the ceiling, down the wall to someplace convenient where I can wire in the amp(s). (Also Cat 5 for the squeezebox.) I subsequently mounted Chopin Leviton volume controls next to the bed (Cat5!). If you do a bit of research, you can find them for nearly half listed price. That gives me a squeezebox that I can use in the bedroom and 2 bathrooms. (As opposed to the other 6 squeezeboxes in the rest of the house.)
