Re: [slim] Help - Artists disappearing from Artist list but their albums are still present!?
Richard_2482;210603 Wrote: I have noticed some strange things happening. First I noticed that although I have 2 David Bowie albums on my PC, and they appear when I browse by album, 'David Bowie' does not appear in the list of artists - even though Slimserver says that is the name of the artist. When I click on the artist name, there is nothing listed. I think this happened when I added the second Bowie album. Today the same thing happened with Bob Dylan. I rescanned the library because I had ripped another Dylan album, and then noticed that Dylan had disappeared from the list of artists - even though his albums are all listed, and the artist for each one is still Bob Dylan. I had MultiLibrary and custom browse plugins, so I removed those thinking that might be the problem, rescanned the library and restarted slimserver...but Bob and Bowie still aint't there.

Re: [slim] [Announce] SlimCD 1.87
Hi Dirk 3 extenal USB hard drives with what was my K:Music drive from XP Pro as the root drive with short cuts to the other 2 drives. The idea on the Linux system is the same as on Windows: create one main folder you're using as the music folder in SlimServer. Then have links/shortcuts pointing to the other drives. In Linux you do this by creating symlinks. Go to your music folder and create a link running ln -s /mnt/sdX disk1 - replace the sdX with the different mount points of your drives.

Re: [slim] SB3 and Wake On Lan?
I just resolved a never-go-to-sleep issue, which turned out to be a feature of the DHCP properties of the router. About every 30 seconds, the router would poll my network, resulting in each computer that had entered sleep-mode being reawakened. It didn't matter how long the sleep delay was, within 30 seconds of going to sleep it was back awake. So, the solution was to put my home network on static IP addresses. The router no longer polls to see if a new address is needed by any device, and my squeezebox will now wake up the slimserver when I press the power button. Note: if you do go to static IP addresses, you will need to unplug your SB3 from the wall-wart, then go through the menu to manually enter the network connection information (SB IP address, gateway address, DNS address, Subnet Mask, Slimserver Computer IP address, and all that other stuff). Now, if I could only figure out an easy way to get the SB3 to automatically wake the Slimserver computer when it has a song to play but the slimserver asleep.

I am pretty annoyed to be honest as time and time again when things break the user has to foot the cost of returning the faulty item. I have lost count how much money I have spent returning faulty items over the years. Plus with the manual weighing tones, it cost me best part of £10 to return. I know it might sound petty but its taken the whole shine off the experience for me. I know things go wrong but this is the third faulty product I have had to return in as many weeks.

[slim] Recommendations for a small footprint server, please
Hi, After a lot of frustration trying to get SS to work on my desktop after upgrading to Vista Ultimate I have decided to look at buying something small, cheap-ish and preferably quiet to use as a dedicated server on my network. I have looked at the various NAS options on the forum ... but I am afraid that I have lost my enthusiasm for digging into code and hacking boxes to get them to work. What I really want is something I can get off the shelf and have a very high level of confidence that it will work as soon as I install SS on it. Does any use a Mac Mini, for instance? Is it up to the job? I wouldn't really want to spend any more than the cost of an entry level Mac Mini ... about £400 here in the UK. Are there other options with a similarly small footprint?

Re: [slim] Can't get Cover Art to work!?
Quoting kolvig [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm really sorry, but I being confused now... kdf. if I undestand you correctly, should my Cover Art work as it is now?.. yes, but your log is showing no sign of the jpg files. They should be there, but something in your case prevents that. I'm inclined to side with snarlydwarf. I expect that you may have created files with .jpg.jpg. By default, Windows will hide the last 3 letters. This means that if you are looking at the file in a folder, the name will appear as Folder or folder, instead of Folder.jpg and folder.jpg. If you rename to Folder.jpg, then what is really there is Folder.jpg.jpg. The server will not work with this. To turn this feature off, Look for Folder Options under the tools menu in your windows folder, or windows explorer. Look for the view tab, and uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types option. That will make sure that you see the real file name of your artwork files. You could also check from the command prompt with: dir F:\Musik\CD\Walter Becker - 11 Tracks Of Whack\ make sure Folder.jpg apears. It is also still useful if you do find it and attach it to the thread so that I can verify that the file itself is valid. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Under the deal, Last.fm listeners will have access to Sony's entire music catalog; financial terms were not disclosed. The label said the service's recommendation and tracking features are what enticed them to the bargaining table.

Re: [slim] Verizon Westell Router -- Can't See Wired Server?
***Fixed my own problem, some of you may be interested in knowing what fixed it.*** - For some reason, my Nvidia Forceware hardware based firewall did not retain my port forwarding settings after restarting it (it was down while I configured my new router/modem). I am not a beginner, but have moved and have a whole bunch of new network hardware; I couldn't remember the port numbers, so I found this **apparently incorrect** Slim Devices wiki entry: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsBeginnersGuide It incorrectly (apparently)states that port forwarding is not needed if you are only trying to access SS within your private network. I figured it must be something new, and did not set up port forwarding for either TCP or UDP for either port 9000 or 3483. At least for the Nvidia Forceware Firewall and my router combination, this was necessary. As soon as I added those forwards, I was able to connect via LAN and WAN where before I could not. -- swank swank's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6164 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36594 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hey - curious if anyone else has encountered this. Love my squeezebox trying to run softsqeeze since I travel a lot want to listen anywhere. I can connect via an SSH tunnel to my SlimServer. No apparent problem with the SSH connection. My music library (mostly flac, some mp3) comes up on the softsqueeze. I can fully browse through the library. But when I hit play, nothing happens. On the SlimServer window (back on the home computer), it shows the proper song playing -- looks like everything's working fine. But back on the computer running softsqueeze, no music, the timer in the now playing screen never budges off of the song's total running time, etc. It does not appear to play regardless of whether the file is an mp3 or flac. The only other hint I have as to what's going on is this: When I go to the console window in the softsqueeze prefs window I can see the following, once for each time I hit the play button: 238875 [SlimTCP-1] ERROR player - strm IO error java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.init(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.init(Unknown Source) at org.titmuss.softsqueeze.audio.Player.connect(Player.java:340) at org.titmuss.softsqueeze.audio.Player.slimprotoCmd(Player.java:211) at org.titmuss.softsqueeze.net.Protocol.socketCommand(Protocol.java:421) at org.titmuss.softsqueeze.net.Protocol.access$400(Protocol.java:42) at org.titmuss.softsqueeze.net.Protocol$TcpSocket.run(Protocol.java:520) Any ideas from more java fluent people?

Re: [slim] Recommendations for a small footprint server, please
i run slimserver on an older Mac Mini G4 (1.25) that I picked up second-hand and can highly recommend it. A great cheap alternative! Its run headless, and use VNC when necessary for updates, etc. i upgraded the HD to 160GB and everything else is stock - even the RAM which is only 512mb. been running well over a year now with no issues at all. and best part...it looks good in the lounge too ;) -- googdot googdot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5152 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36679 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
