Re: [slim] horrible wireless network fallback mechanisms (general criticism)
My thoughts on the issue of wireless "robustness": I have three squeezeboxes. One of them has connection problems. This problematic one is in a room with two receivers for wireless 2.4 ghz security cameras and my laptop. I know the security camera receivers interfere with the squeezebox, them both being on the 2.4 ghz spectrum. Ok. But... Remember, I also have a laptop in this same room using the same 2.4 ghz spectrum. And guess what? The laptop is "robust". It is a 1 year old Dell that is 99.9% rock solid in terms of its wireless radio. It doesn't care about stinkin interference. It keeps its connection. And it does stream music. So the bottom line as far as I am concerned is that if my Dell can stream music under the "interference" conditions, why is my downtime with my squeezebox in the same room probably a loss of the connection at least once a day, with sometimes two choices and somethime three choices displayed on the squeezebox (set up networking, current settings, and sometimes connect to squeezenetwork). The squeezebox has firmware, that firmware is embedded in a processor, so let's not digress into a semantic game as to whether it is a computer or an appliance. The bottom line is that a $300 "device" made in 2007 should be able to hold onto a wireless signal as well as my Dell. I mean, the Dell was only $1k and it has a harddrive, much more ram, windows software, a 15 inch screen, a keyboard, etc, etc. I mean, come one, how much does the radio part of the squeezebox cost anyway? I don't think there are that many companies in the world who make these "radios". I don't know their technical name, but I am talking about the gizmo inside that does the sending and transmitting over wifi. You know, the wifi part. The Dell wifi part is robust. Why isn't the squeezebox wifi part. Oh yes, I have experimented with different channels, moved it around the room, rebooted, done a factory reset, updated the firmware, swapped squeezeboxes from one room to the next amongst my three, you name it. No better. However I think I have stumbled on one idea that was implied to me in a phone call to slim devices tech service. Which is as follows (and tell me if you have ever heard about this before): As background, in addition to the 3 squeezeboxes and laptop and two security camera receivers, I have of course my router and one access point, not to mention my neighbors gadgets as well, whatever they may be. Now the tech guy says to me that when I swapped a squeezebox from one room to the next for troubleshooting purposes, that the "radio" may have gotten confused as to where its connection was coming from and I go mmm, that sounds interesting. So I am thinking that I should do the following, which I did: I took the squeezebox right up next to the router, did a factory reset, and then "locked" onto the router. Then I took this squeezebox to my room of interference. Seems to have helped somewhat. So here is my question: does the "radio" in a squeezebox lock onto a particular signal source and is not as flexible to latch onto a different signal when you move the squeezebox around like a mobile laptop or (in a different context) a cellphone as you travel on the highway? Bottom line: I think the squeezebox "radio" in its innards could have been made more "robust". -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39421 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You > may be better off running Slismerver on Ubuntu. ;) It's a Pentium 4, 3.8 GHz w/ 1 GB of ram. It's not blindingly fast on other tasks, but certainly more than adequate. I have no problem having Word, Excel, and a browser open at the same time. I just did some informal testing, and it's worse than I orginally said. When I choose Browse/Genres and select a genre with about 30 artists, it takes 3-4 seconds to load the page. Loading the server settings page takes 3-4 seconds. Selecting "All Albums" from a genre that produces a list of around 90 albums (text listing) takes 10-14 seconds (no images involved!). Selecting album art view takes about 10 seconds to begin to render the images, 14 seconds to finish. I understand that transmitting large images and data over the net is going to be slow. (Although, even graphics intensive web sites, such as ESPN, are not as slow as slimserver on my machine). However, it seems that when the server and client are on the same machine, this time should be minimal. That leads me to suspect the time delay is in the work slimserver must do, querying the database, etc. My question is whether the sorts of delays I quoted above are to be expected with a machine like mine. If so, will I see dramatic improvements if I get a new, more powerful machine. Alternatively, is there something about how i have the computer configured that might lead to slowdowns? I should also mention that I have many of erland's plugins installed, including Custom Browse, Custom Scan, and SQL Playlist. It's possible that the additional computation they require is the culprit -- any comments on that possibility would be welcome. -steve -- wnshall wnshall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39468 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] which format is actually transmitted?
The options in the server specify what is allowed, for example in your case it's saying that WAV->FLAC and FLAC->FLAC are allowed. To decide between the two it looks at the type of player in use and decides based on it's preference. An SB3 prefers FLAC first, then WAV, then MP3. So your WAVs will be encoded to FLAC on the server and then decoded back to PCM on the SB3. This is good because it saves bandwidth on the network which makes the wireless streaming more reliable. If you don't want that to happen (for example if you want to save CPU on the server) disable the WAV->FLAC option. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39464 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox stopping
I have an SB 2 running slimserver 6.5.4 on Windows XP with all relevant patches. 2.2 Ghz system with 1.2 gig memory. I can play selections with no trouble on my wireless squeezebox, but periodically I have the following trouble: 1) Playing a playlist will stop playing after 'X' period of time, although the SB shows that it is still playing, just no sound out of the speakers. 2) Pressing play will start the playlist over again (I am playing shuffled, so it took a while to figure this out). 3) Pressing forward will result in the music resuming, although after another 'X' (which is not the same as the first 'X' period of time, it seems to be shorter) the sound will again go away. 4) This also happens when I am playing music from a genre, although not as frequently. Again I am playing shuffled. 5) This does not seem to happen at all when I am using Softsqueeze 3.4, or at the very least it appears that I am not able to reproduce it using Softsqueeze. To the best of my memory, I have cleared and done a complete rescan, which has done nothing to fix this issue. As memory serves me this has been a problem for the last two releases, but I can't swear to that. Has anyone else seen this problem???

How fast should I expect the web browser interface to slim server to be? I've got a ~3 year old PC running XP with a squeezebox connected wirelessly. I'm running ss 6.5, and mostly use Firefox. I find that most anything I do in slimserver -- clicking on any link, eg. server settings, or browse, etc. -- takes 1-3 seconds to render on the screen. If I do something intensive like look at a long list of albums (with cover art), or browse to a genre that has lots of artists in it (even without displaying cover art), it takes even longer to display the results. It seems to be rather slower than most browsing on the internet, which has always struck me as odd since no data is actually transmitted over the 'net, since both server and client are on the same machine (isn't that right?).

Re: [slim] which format is actually transmitted?
If you keep WAV - WAV built-in checked, FLAC - FLAC built-in checked and MP3-MP3 built-in checked, it should send WAV as WAV, FLAC as FLAC and MP3 as MP3 and the SB will decode to PCM. If you have WAV - WAV unchecked and WAV - FLAC checked, it will transcode to FLAC and you should have a FLAC process running on your system. If this isn't the case, I don't know what the problem is - but it isn't a problem anyway beside CPU usage as FLAC and WAV are identical (and no comment from the peanut gallery!) But I believe I see what's going on now. If you have WAV - FLAC checked, SS will prefer this over WAV - WAV in order to save bandwidth.

Re: [slim] which format is actually transmitted?
If the format is listed as "built in" and enabled in Server Settings - File Types, it's sent as that file and decoded in the SB. SS never sends a PCM signal, a router wouldn't know what to do with it. It's always one of the built-in formats, or something that's transcoded to one of the built-in formats. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'

[slim] which format is actually transmitted?
Hi there, I am wondering which format sound is actually transmitted from the SlimServer to the SqueezeBox. Is it RAW PCM? WAV? Some compressed format? And which bitrate/sampling? I thought that a PCM 16bit/44.1KHz signal was sent to the SqueezeBox, which would only DAC it. But, noticed that SlimServer uses the flac command-line tool for reading my .wav files.

Question: Do you have a 770?
- Got it
- Want it
- Need it
- Forget it
point your N800 browser to http://web-sniffer.net, then tell me what
you're seeing for the User agent.
Mine reports:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux armv6l; U) Opera 8.5
[en_GB] Tablet
SqueezeCenter's browser identification goes like this:
Code:
if ($request->header('user-agent') =~ /Firefox/) {
$return = 'Firefox';
} elsif ($request->header('user-agent') =~ /Opera/) {
$return = 'Opera';
} elsif ($request->header('user-agent') =~ /Safari/) {
$return = 'Safari';
} elsif ($request->header('user-agent') =~ /MSIE 7/) {
$return = 'IE7';
} elsif (
$request->header('user-agent') =~ /MSIE/ && # does it think it's IE
$request->header('user-agent') !~ /Opera/ && # make sure it's not Opera
$request->header('user-agent') !~ /Linux/ && # make sure it's not Linux
$request->header('user-agent') !~ /arm/) # make sure it's not a Nokia
tablet
{
$return = 'IE';
}
In my case, it should return Opera, and if for some reason that doesn't
hit, it definitely shouldn't return IE, which is the only thing that
causes the browser redirect.
Let me know what your user-agent reports.
cheers,
#!/ben

The location and width of these bands does not appear to be fixed to the display screen width itself, but appears to be relative to the width of the information provided. The firmware was updated a few days ago when installed. Any thoughts? Bug in the firmware? Odd as it just started a couple days after the update. Or is it a bum display?

The N800 has 2 SD slots, and this one has one MiniSD slot...that's gotta be a space decision. also, from the Nokia press release: "the Nokia N810 offers up to 45 hours of music playback and memory to store up to 7,500 songs on an optional 10GB memory card*." say what? There's a 10GB mini SD card available? Wikipedia says 4GB is the max, PriceWatch doesn't even list anything beyond 2GB.

Re: [slim] SB3 rebuffering and reset problems
If you were just running wireless, I would guess at some kind of interference, or a problem with the wireless card, but if you get exactly the same problem running wired (no wireless hops at all even between your router and the box running slimserver) then that can't be it. Just to rule out some of the other regular issues, can you tell us a bit about your setup - what OS are you running Slimserver on, do you have any internet security or virus scanning installed like McAfee or Norton - and is the troublesome SB within the range of IP addresses that they consider to be "trusted"? The only other thing I can think of is that you've got some kind of DCHP conflict which might explain why some of the players work fine, but the recent one doesn't. Is your router handing out the network addresses automatically? Can you specific a static address for the SB that doesn't work so well (outside the range of your DCHP set) and does that work any better? So (as an example) if your router is handing out 192.168.0.2-200, make the SB have a static IP of 192.168.0.201. Others may have different views, but if the answer to all of this is no, it may be a faulty unit. Also a bit surprised you've not heard back from Slim Devices - they are usually pretty prompt in my experience (though I've not used support for a while now).

Siduhe - thanks for response. I didn't know about the n/w test. I am always surprised with the access tools available - that's what's nice about an open source model.

It is not very common for a wireless device to support 802.11b/g and 802.11a. b/g uses the 2.4GHz band whereas 802.11a transmits in the 5GHz band. You therefore need a hybrid wireless card to support both bands. I'm not sure if you also need different antennas. Not surprising, such wireless cards are also more expensive. The cards used in the sb3 don't support 802.11a so it's neither "not implemented" nor "undocumented". -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39421 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
