Re: [slim] Library Scanning engine
Sorry if I was being vague. The beta software was a performance acceleration tool which dedicates a portion of the system memory for I/O cache together with a predictive algorithm for doing prefetching of data. The net effect is that in most databases and other I/O intensive applications, a 3-4x performance improvement is often observed. (It is a well known fact that in most applications, the performance bottleneck lies at the disk.) Since mileage varies depending on systems and applications (for example, there would not be any improvement at all if the disk was *not* the bottleneck), I was curious if the slow library scans would be affected or not. And as a matter of fact, I did install the tool and saw huge improvments in many applications, but I did not do any specific testing against the library scans - just a subjective seat-of-the-pants feel of "yup, that's faster..." This was all done quite some time ago, and I forgot about the tool and left it installed. Yesterday we announced release of the product, and that jogged my memory, so I did a search on the forums, and did not see as many posts about slow scans as I was expecting. I was curious if this is an issue that has been "fixed" or not. I plan on running tests again collecting empiricle data, but I'm travelling for the next 3 weeks and therefore am left to muse. -- ob_kook SB2 --> Axiom passive pre --> Portal Paladin monoblocks --> Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII ob_kook's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SS wont play internet radio - Snetwork does.
The thing that often helps is to simply restart your computer. If that doesn't work, restart your modem and/or router. This can often solve the problem, particularly if you are logging into multiple networks during the day. Give it a shot and see what happens. BTW, this only applies if your Internet Radio was working fine and then suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. If it's never worked from the beginning, then it's a different story.

Actually I think that I'm not going to pursue this any more because it's not too much of an issue for me and it happens so randomly. I started this thread just wondering if this was a common problem. I was trying to set up some more debug logging as you suggested but the scanner crashed twice but on the third time it ran. It seems that it never starts right and crashes or finishes to completion. Since the rescan works every time and I seldom do a full scan it doesn't really matter to me. That being said, how do I delete the MySQL cache and tables?

I have a spare AP which has client mode which I can plug in to the
ethernet port. Not as cool, but hopefully it will work well enough (or
even better than the built in wireless hmmm... 9dbi antenna!) in or
behind the cabinet... The problem with this is my gf used to plug into
the ethernet port when she worked from home and she has no built in
wireless... more retraining.
Would probably be the cheaper/easer/less-risky route for you (Glennmcb)
to do this.
Out of interest, did anyone who has experienced the dead SB3 thing also
start having mysterious wireless problems a few months beforehand as
well, e.g. SB restarting for no apparent reason etc after being stable
for months/years?

[slim] Library Scanning engine
Has this changed much over the past couple of major Slimserver releases? I recall there was a time when there was a multitude of threads on this forum with questions and complaints about long scanning times for large libraries, but I don't seem to see that many now. The reason I ask is that I also noticed extremely long scan times in the past and addressed the problem with a self learning predictive I/O scheduler and cache engine which my company had in beta and which an engineer was kind enough to provide to me. It certainly helped the situation, but now I am not sure if there were other external factors such as the version changes which came into play as well or not.

I've bought about 50 songs since yesterday to fill gaps in some of my playlists. It works quite well, and of course the files work fine on the SB3. With iTunes, I had to burn, re-rip, re-encode, and re-tag a track to free it from DRM, which was a real pain. iTunes Plus make this somewhat easier. The biggest problem I've had with Amazon so far is that every song purchase results in a separate charge to your credit card, and apparently my card provider limits me to around 20 charges a day. You also get a confirmation mail for each purchase, which is a pain.

Re: [slim] Switching from PC to Mac
Toast is a great disc burning/backup/tivo tool, burns audio CDs directly from flacs, but not so great for ripping CDs, and costs like $70. Max works well for this, and is free.

There is a public forum about Jive, Jive remotes, etc. Might give some folks a clue, but there is no commitment to actually release Jive in any form similar to what it is now.

I have tried now a lot of different formats none is working. I think I
have to rename the whole bunch. Total Commander has a good rename tool
build-in.
Anyway I don't understand why it is not implemented to scan for a
filename with variable and fixed letters.
Is it so hard to scan for "front" somewhere in the filename?
And if it finds "front" in the front, middle or end of the filename
than it takes that jpeg as albumart.

Ideally you would have avoided mixed formatting (variable AND fixed components) However, you could try "%ARTIST - ALBUM - front" as the format. The server adds .jpg and I believe it should take the 'folder' part as static text when it doesn't match a variable. the key is that you only need to start with % to trigger the variable checking code.

Just of the top of my head... Pro tag: You can have different artwork per file the artwork goes wherever your files go Con Tag: file sizes are larger for each file Pro folder.jpg: windows explorer gives you nifty folder icons when you browse the filesystem less overall drive usage with just one file per album For best universal support, my own setup has artwork in tags, a folder.jpg, cover.jpg (fastest find for slimserver when tags fail), then a 100x100 cover.bmp so that I get cover art on my Sansa E260 using the rockbox firmware. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Album Art: - Tags vs Files?
I currently have all my album art in folder.jpg files. What are the pros/cons of holding the album art in FLAC/MP3 tags compared to using the folder.jpg method? BTW, I use Mp3Tag as my weapon of choice for tagging. -- Skittler Dave.

It then allows you to browse by rating. What I don't know is if you can set it up to show lower rated versions if nothing higher rated is found with the same title/artist/album info. My own setup, I have a music folder with FLAC and MP3. Anything I have in FLAC is duplicated to mp3 using flac2mp3 and stored in a folder outside of the music tree. If any mp3 albums in the music tree eventually become available as FLAC, I erase the mp3 files in the music tree and let flac2mp3 create new mp3 files outside of the tree. it's nearly automated and thanks to the local Future Shop's lingering clearance sales, I'm using it a lot. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
Here's a feature that would be cool for me. Support the ability to assign a "score" to a file format or somehow weight it so that I can state a preference. In other words if I have a track in both FLAC and MP3 formats it'd be really cool if I had a way to say "only show/play the FLAC version". But if the track is only in MP3 then MP3 is fine. Pretty far out there, I know... -- Meatwad650 Meatwad650's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
