Re: [slim] DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL OUTPUT FIXED bug
Disable volume adjustment only applies to Automatic Volume adjustment which works from the replay gain tags on a track by track, or album by album basis. Fixing the digital output level will only affect anything if you are connecting to an external DAC using the electrical or optical digital output. So I doubt you have a bug. I don't think there's any way to set and lock the analogue volume control, so the best approach is to remove remote privileges from any of your friends/family who abuse them ;-) -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39912 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Simple amp speaker setup
Hi as in another thread I want to setup some connection to my SB in another room. I'm looking at getting a small set of bookshelf speakers and an amp, i'm not going to be connecting the amp to anything else so it only needs one input, if that makes a difference. i'm in the uk and want to keep it below £150 for the setup. what would people reccomend? any views appreciated. -- Gibbo Gibbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12331 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39914 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slave device
I'd recommend another SB. After the cost of the baluns and the inconvenience of pulling the cat5 cable, you still wouldn't have any control of the SB from the kitchen. Get another SB, you won't regret it. Start watching on eBay, and if you can possibly afford an SB2 or SB3 instead of an SB1, that would also be a good idea.

Re: [slim] Music skipping
The idea that it can be something in the music file is interesting. But how is that it happens randomly, and not in a specific file and position? Also, I am watching the buffer fullness on the SB3 screen and it is 100% full, then suddenly, when the skip occurs, it goes to zero and reloads. This tells me that it is something with the SB3, that the packets arrive in the right sequence and they are stuffed in the buffer properly..; then something strange happens and makes the buffer "reset"... For now support has only suggested to connect the SB3 directly and not wireless; it makes no difference... -- mik63 mik63's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL OUTPUT FIXED bug
>so the best approach is to remove remote privileges from any >of your friends/family who abuse them ;-) That would work. Or if the problem is limited to people messing with the volume using the remote, you can edit IR/Default.map so that the volume keys don't work. I set mine so they both increase the volume as I keep my Squeezebox volume at max all the time and use the volume on my device. You can also create an IR/Custom.map and then go into player settings, remote, and choose Custom in the Remote Button Functions. Credit to kdf for showing me how to do this back in '04.

Re: [slim] DS106 and mplayer
There is no SSODS version 6.3.1. You probably mean Slimserver 6.3.1. SSODS >= 2.5 (or so), however, comes with mplayer. For certain reasons, it is not called mplayer but mplayer-stdout. Hence, you need to adjust the conversion rules accordingly (in custom-convert.conf for 6.5.x and in some other file which name I don't remember for 6.3.x). How to enable mplayer(-stdout) for AlienBBC is documented in the README. The procedure for other file formats (m4a in your case) should work in a similar way. I think people have already done this. See here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?AppleLosslessUnix Something like the following rule should work: Code: mov wav * * [mplayer-stdout] -novideo -ao pcm:file=- $FILE$ 2>/dev/null -- flipflip Check out flipflip's 'SlimServer On DiskStation (SSODS)' (http://oinkzwurgl.org/ssods/)! flipflip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5223 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39894 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Anyone tried running SlimServer on a fit-PC?
What's performance on the web interface using a Fit-PC? I used to run SlimServer on a dual-processor 533MHz Power Mac G4 and thought the performance was abysmal. It improved significantly moving the installation over to a 1.5GHz dual-core Mac mini. Obviously this system could be put to use as a client/workstation rather than a server. It would be great to have something lower priced and more efficient to run SlimServer as long as the performance wasn't terrible. Someone mentioned that the Thecus N5200 NAS was very similar to the other small system mentioned, the Windows Home Server from Ripcaster. They're nothing alike. The Thecus uses only a 600MHz processor where that Home Server has a 1.5GHz chip. The Linutop seems like not much more than a more expensive and feature-light Fit-PC. It has no hard drive. I'd love to see something at this price point with multiple cores and gigabit ethernet. The Thecus looks pretty nice as a NAS which could also be capable of running SlimServer, but all reports mention its configuration software is the pits. I can't say I'm terribly excited about its speed either, though it's head and shoulders above any other consumer NAS such as the terribly slow Infrant products. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39269 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you go the active speaker route the first thing to do is figure out your budget, because the solutions available range from $30 to over $2000.

Hi, I have had a search through these forums and ,whilst some other threads are similar, I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. Basically, today goes like this. Done a fresh install of Mac OS 10.4.10. Installed SlimServer 6.5.5. Had some success and had music playing. Paused a song - SB3 (on wireless network) displays Stopped. And now I can't get any music to play - I just get the "Problem: Can't open file for xxx" - which my searching has suggested that this means the music has moved, or it's path has changed... but it hasn't! I've reinstalled the firmware (v81), tried downgrading to 6.5.4, redone a complete music scan (all music managed by iTunes 7.4) and reset to factory defaults and re-added the SB3. Yesterday, before the reinstall, it was working fine! SlimServer on the Mac server can "see" all the music still (as can iTunes) as I can click through the albums, but in the right-hand side of the screen the Music Player says Stopped and I cannot get it to play. The SB3 can navigate it's way through all the music by artist, album etc but just won't play anything.

[slim] OT: Finding & eliminating duplicate files
I've been going through a process of creating some order on my PCs and external storage. As part of the process I wanted to identify and eliminate duplicate files - I'd noticed I have multiple copies of the same family snaps, probably the result of copying photos from my folks and in-laws which inevitably means that I'm also taking copies of photos I originally gave them. To cut a long story short, after considerable googling and trialling I settled on zsDuplicateHunter Professional Edition and was able to kill 700MB of duplicate files within a matter of 10 minutes. If you're looking for a duplicate file manager, it is most definitely the best I have come across. A real killer feature for me is the ability to point it at a folder and tell it to find all duplicates anywhere within the folder structure. It doesn't force a source/ target type comparison. I don't normally do this but it is so effective at solving an issue I'm guessing many of us have that I thought I'd pass on the tip. -- egd Thecus N5200PRO >> Transporter >> ATC SCA2 >> ATC SCM100SLAT egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39945 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I find the Fit-PC performance to be fine on the web interface. Now my library is only about 4000 songs, so that may be why it's quite snappy. -- sterry21 sterry21's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39269 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Left and right channel reversal
I use EAC with no-compression. I use wav files only. I use my SB3 with a DAC. If I put the problematic recording in my cd player and I use my DAC I can clearly hear the 'reverse' between left and right when I switch digital input from the the SB3 to my cd player. -- Acme Acme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39932 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

HDCD logos for example - not a likely cause, I expect, but I'd be looking for something in common with the recordings. As both WAV and CD Redbook formats are PCM, which interleaves the L/R channel information, it is unlikely a corruption during ripping, as EAC would pick this up, *hopefully*. Unless you can configure EAC to swap left and right channels on purposeI'm not sure if this is possible. Try ripping them again? -- 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=39932 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Acme;240242 Wrote: > I use EAC with no-compression. I use wav files only. Not sure this is relevant. You are aware that lossless compression like FLAC only compresses the data, not the audio? I was probably wrong to pinpoint the ripping process, but the SB3 can no more flip channels -on certain albums only- than your CD player can. If it did do it, it would do it all the time. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39932 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Left and right channel reversal
I'd suggest also listening to the same music files on a computer to figure out for sure if the reversal is within the data files or within the playback stream. I would expect that it has to be in the data, but couldn't say how it happened. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39932 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Time to see how SlimD's customer sevice is...
Maybe it's a Europe/US difference, but two-year warranties are common over here now. In fact I think it may be European law. Regardless, out-of-warranty failures will always occur from time to time. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35473 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
