Re: [slim] Help - Artists disappearing from Artist list but their albums are still present!?
Found it! When I looked at the Artist Info for the tracks in Media Player (v11), each one had the Album Artist set correctly but the Artist tag was empty. So my guess is that SlimServer doesn't look at the Album Artist tag. The same problem is in 6.5.3. I updated the Artist tags and did a rescan. Everything is as it should be now. I can find the artist in browsing an searching. -- AndyHennah AndyHennah's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=313 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36346 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

My argument here, take it or leave it, is that the first priority of the Nokia770 skin is to support the people using the Nokia, and a widget to push IE users to Touch is second priority. Therefore, what do you think about backing out the user agent redirect altogether? The problem I see arising is that even if we cover all the current Nokia user agent strings, new versions of Opera on the Nokia tablet may again change the user agent string to more closely resemble IE, thus breaking this again. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas the Nokia770 skin guy http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It's unlikely that Microsoft will change to using those. I'm going to read into the minds of the folks putting together the Nokia Opera browser-- my guess is that one of the big complaints that they get from users is that they get an error message saying they can't browse (insert critical-to-user website address here) because (insert critical-to-user website address here) parses the user agent string and dumps an error if it's not IE. Different sites employ different methods of parsing the user agent string, thus the best thing for Nokia Opera to do is spoof as IE as closely as possible. At least, that's what I'd do. IMO, it seems like the Maemo Opera user agent string is a moving target, so this is an uphill battle with possible breaks down the line. I'm still of the opinion that IE users are out of luck if they point their browser to Nokia770/ skin, and its not a necessary function of slimserver to redirect to Touch in these situations. It's a noble idea, but if it incorrectly redirects (some) Nokia users, I'm not for it. As for an official stance of not supporting IE on the Nokia770/ skin, I'm pretty sure that is the case. There's a dev forum thread from last year I could dig up that discusses just that... As an alternative, I'm going to try to post to a Maemo forum sometime today and ask if there's any part of the user agent string that I can absolutely count on not to go away that identifies the browser as coming from the Maemo browser (much as Nigel has suggested). cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas the Nokia770 skin guy http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

How cumbersome is the 'switching' process between SlimServer running locally and SqueezeNetwork? Pain in the butt or not too bad? 2) Is there alpha search for finding things in the Rhapsody library (or something else to make it reasonable)?

[slim] very slow response time when browsing genres
Hi, I just upgraded Slimserver 6.3 to 6.5.3, using the Suse10.1 system's mysql server. My Server is a VIA C3 / 1Ghz 256MB my music consists of 1400 albums with 18434 songs by 560 artists. Basically everything works fine so far, only when I browse my music for genres, the cpu load goes to 100% for minutes. When I check the top command, I see that mysqld is using all the CPU power. For example, when I click on the rock genre, which contains 642 albums, I need to wait 6 minutes for a reaction. In the meantime, the music on my squeezebox stops due to the heavy cpu load. The old version 6.3 needed 5 seconds for the same request. Interestingly, browsing via the IR Control Search-Genres-Rock is going very fast. I already experimented with increasing buffer values in /etc/my.cnf, but that doesn't help much. I'd be happy for comments, especially from Michael since he seems to use the same hardware as I do. -- wotuzu17 wotuzu17's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Emergency Action Needed! - Save Net Radio!!
Reading the latest news about the CRB and Internet Radio rates, I'm struck by the royalty formula http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/news/2007/07/webcasters_face_music Webcasting royalty payments for Jan. 1, 2006, to July 1, 2007, due under the new scheme would total $.000762 times the number of songs played per listener... The per-listener rates would rise to $0.0019 per song by 2010. How is per listener calculated, especially for stations that don't require login accounts? If I have 2 or more Squeezeboxes playing the same Internet Radio stream, each is, as I understand it, making its own HTTP connection to the server. Would that therefore counted as 2 or more listeners? Should HTTP streams be processed through Slimserver so that a single HTTP connection to the Internet Radio source could be utilized -- reducing my bandwidth and broadcasters' royalty payments? -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36750 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] very slow response time when browsing genres
I'd like to add that all other ways of browsing are AMAZINGLY FAST. Way faster than at my 6.3 installation. Only broswing for genres that contains lots of albums in my database like Rock and Pop take INSANELY long time. Therefore I assume that it is not about my relatively weak hardware, nor about the setup of the mysql server, but a inefficient way of querying the server for genres, that results in high CPU load and that ludicrous response times.

Re: [slim] How do YOU backup your music?
I, personally, have a rather complicated strategy. I rip all my CD's to FLAC for archival purposes, but do to disk space costs, I keep my online storage in MP3. I store my MP3's on a RAID array, and backup weekly to a second hard drive in an external moveable enclosure. My FLAC's I currently keep on an external hard drive, which I backup to DVD. I then keep this collection of DVD's offsite (ok, at my desk at work). I threw together a couple scripts to manage backing stuff up to optical discs. These are aimed at systems which are write-mostly, ie, you keep adding new content without really updating what's already there. My scripts are at: http://koldware.com/SlimStuff/MusicUtils/makeBackupSet and http://koldware.com/SlimStuff/MusicUtils/makeISOs The former script maintains a database of files, and allocates the files to various DVD's. The latter script takes that database and creates the individual ISO images that you can use to burn the physical DVD's. Using the makeBackupSet script, you can grow the database, and it will add to the end of the backup set. Sample usage would be: makeBackupSet -db /etc/MusicBackup.db -k -p -f -v /music/FLAC This will create (or extend) the database in /etc/MusicBackup.db. It will attempt to keep all the files in a directory together (-k), pack directories into the disks it's creating (-p), fill the last previously created disk (-f) and tell you about it all (-v). You can then run makeISOs on this DB: makeISOs -d /tmp/FlacBackup -i ~/tmp/Backup -m -s -c -p 79-80 which will generate ISO images of discs 79 and 80, call tmp ~/tmp/Backup.79 and ~/tmp/Backup.80. They're kindof poorly documented, your best bet is to read the code for help.

[slim] SB: KQED stream via Squeezenetwork causes RESETS!
Here's a weird one... We use our Squeezebox almost exclusively through Squeezenetwork (for Pandora and streaming net stations). Quite often when we play the stream for our local NPR affiliate, KQED, which we have as one of our favorites, the SB freezes, there's a very loud pop out the analog outputs as the SB *RESETS*! E.g. something in the KQED stream/playlist causes a reset. :( I believe the problem is related to the fact that KQED stream always plays a sponsorship message first , then switches to the live stream -- I assume there are multiple files in its playlist or whatever. We can often work around this by hitting rewind or forward after playing the stream. Another subtlety, it often seems that we never get a reset when we play through the Squeezenetwork favorites... by city... san francisco... entry point, only when we play it as a favorite. Perhaps some kind of cache is kept for favorites related to position in list?

Perhaps that is what you did, I certainly do it enough. This issue shows up on both the SB and on SoftSqueeze (assuming that is what you are referring to as the web interface). And BTW, each press of Now Playing doesn't give me anything but the title of the song. Check your Settings (it is under Basic Settings on the player) to see what it is set to. Actually, I think it is under formatting, and I have verified what it is set to. Seems like a lot of trouble for what is surely a minor problem You are probably right, but I have had a few cuts go south on me, and trying to find them and fix them is more than a bit of a problem (I won't use the word I wanted to). You downloaded the nightly and you do understand that it is not a production release at all? It is a nightly snapshot. It is usually fine and dandy with only bugfixes going in, but sometimes one fix breaks something else... Yep - I initially downloaded a nightly with the full understanding that it is a beta (at best) build. I have spent the last 20 years or so doing software QA, although I can always be introduced to something new.

My apologies for thinking (and implying) that QA wasn't doing it's job. (I have also been on that end.) What I did do is try to change the settings on the server, not the player, thinking that the player would simply show what is requested by the server. My bad. Now my question resolves to what is the difference between the server and player formatting? And furthermore, how is that expressed to the general public?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Boombox
I bought - a number of months ago - a setup that allowed me to broadcast my music (via SB2) to a pair of speakers that could be either battery powered or plugged in. It is not the best thing in the world, but we can put the speakers anywhere, either with or without batteries (we have never used batteries.) Out by the spa is wonderful, especially at night with just the stars out. I am not happy with the manufacturer because I had a few issues with them, but this is a possibility for others. I would just recommend that they use a different system. -- Mike White Mike White's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36603 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SqueezeBox3 not working?
Hi there. I can't get my squeezebox3 to connect to my wireless network. I can't get it to connect to the squeeze network or my computer. I have a dlink dva-g3340s adsl voip wireless router with a extra range aerial, so wireless strength is not the problem. I am using vista with the latest download of slimserver. Whenever I try and connect to the squeeze network, the screen of the unit goes blank and it doesn't connect. Is there something in my router setup that needs fixing? Also I can't connect to my computer, but I guess if I could connect at least to the squeeze network that would be great.

Not all of us have the money or the space to put a squeezebox, amplifier and speakers in every room of our homes. I'd like one squeezebox for my main stereo and I'd use a boombox everywhere else. Even in my bedroom... Why should I need an amp with speakers in my bedroom? I'd rather have a completely self-contained solution. I couldn't agree more with NWP. Yes, I know Slim is an audiophile grade solution. But there are many situations in a home environment where an All-In-One solution will get much more use. More use = more enjoyment (and perhaps more sales). I currently have a roving SB3 and it's a pain in the keister. Even with battery powered speakers, I still have two devices (SB3 speaker unit), dangling wires between them, and the SB wall-wart to deal with.

Re: [slim] Ugraged to ..6.5.3 :-(
It's been my experience that 6.5.x (latest 6.5.3) is the worst POS software I've ever had the misfortune of using, bar none. If you press the stop button on an AACplus internet radio stream, SlimServer locks up and may render the server unusable without a reboot. If a .ogg internet radio stream stops, the Squeezebox gets stuck in a state that requires unplugging it and plugging it back in again for it to work. I've had my Squeezebox 2 for several years now, and in all that time I've only had to unplug it once to get it to play tunes again. Today, I've had to unplug and re-plug the Squeezebox about five times to get it out of a locked up state. This is due to replacing the 6.3.1 SlimServer with 6.5.3. I've had to eliminate all .ogg and AACplus internet radio streams from my list to even get it into this state. If you want to see the caliber of the so-called software QA of SlimDevices, just install 6.5.3. Look at the install dialog box. It will tell you that you are installing 6.5.2. As far as I can tell, there is no software QA of SlimServer whatsoever. Or if there is, they are a bunch of complete idiots who are totally asleep at the wheel. Sean is a great guy who has done a superb job with the Squeezebox and Transporter hardware. But the so-called software QA of SlimServer is a complete joke - if it exists at all, which I doubt. Sean has associated himself with bad company here, which will have the end result of giving him a bad name. -- andy_c andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36793 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
