[slim] Still scanning..
Hi all, I initiated a rescan yesterday, since I've edited some tags with Mp3tag and SlimServer still says its scanning, after I left it overnight (approx 5000 songs). It used to take only a couple of minutes..?! "Note: SlimServer is still scanning your music library, so some items may not appear in this area yet." What could be the problem? Is there a log or something so that I can see what it's doing?

You'll also need to find a bitrate that the cable connection can support. I'd be amazed if it can do 320 kbps mp3. I have Comcast cable with 768 kbps upload speed and even it couldn't handle streaming much above 192 kbps reliably. Go to player setting for your work connection Audio > Bitrate Limit and fiddle with the streaming rate until it's reliable. To increase the audio quality, set the LAME quality level higher than the default 9 if your server can handle it.

Yep, well said Peejay. Also you can use softsqueeze to familiarize with the interface of squeezebox once you have Slimserver installed. I use a Thecus N5200 Nas for running SlimServer and it is fine. It has the nice advantage of keeping my data (not only music) safe by raid5. ;) And despite from the fact that I have installed five hard drives it doesn't consume too much power.

The 3000kBps network test should cover this sample rate adequately...unless you have short bursts of interference which cause signal drop-outs completely. Do other flacs play OK?

Re: [slim] Drop outs/skipping over wireless with 24/48000 flacs
Have you run the network test on the Squeezebox? Slimserver will tell you at what bit rate it is streaming the the FLAC files in question. There is a guide to what test you should run for flac files here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsSecondGuide As the streaming bit rate for 96KHz 24 bit flacs is significantly more than double that of 44.1KHz 16 bit, which I suspect is what the documentation assumes, I would suggest the 4000 or 5000 kbps test needs to report a good result. -- 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=40076 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Quick question
The Squeezebox always needs a server of some description to stream music to it. Squeezenetwork is an internet hosted service by Slimdevices and is a server which, among other things, acts as a gateway for other public music streaming services, some free, some not. See Rhapsody.com as an example of this. You will need your own server (your home PC will probably do if it has enough spare hard disk space and above minimum specifications) if you wish to listen to your own music. You will need to copy your Music to the hard disk from CD using a 'ripping' program, and install the server software (currently called Slimserver - free download) from Slim Devices. There's plenty of good documentation on how to do this, and it's a good idea to install Slimserver first and familiarise yourself with it while waiting for your Squeezebox to arriveYou'll find plenty of help here as well if you run into difficulties or want to do something which isn't 'out of the box'. -- 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=40075 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Flac Remote Access
I think I'm this >< close to getting remote access of my flac files working from my home server to my work computer. There's just one last thing I seem to be missing. Here's what I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have my router set up to forward ports 9000 and 3483. I know my outside world local IP (which isn't static, so I'll need to keep up with it when it changes) and my work IP (which is static). I don't have SSH or any other security set up yet but will do that once I get things working. I was hoping to keep it simple at first and then add complexity once the basics are working. Anyway, I can enter http:\\local_IP:9000 into a browser at work and have access to the server so the ports are OK, right? I couldn't find any forum posts or FAQs that mentioned the need to change any other server settings. My player of choice is Winamp 5.5 since it installs without admin privileges on my corporate pc. I tried softsqueeze but had issues - the mouse pointer would disappear when I moused over the player rendering it unusable. Might be a java issue but I can't update java due to lack of admin privileges. I tried Winamp with both an mp3 file and a flac file and it plays properly through the pc. The flac files play fine off the server locally with my SB3. My problem comes in trying to play the stream from the server. I entered http://local_IP:9000/stream.mp3 into the "open URL" dialog box accessed from the Winamp File menu. Is that the right place to enter it? I can remotely queue up a flac file on the server. What next? Do I hit play on the right side of the server window? The play button seems greyed out and 'Now stopped on 1 of 1' is displayed. BTW I'm using the fishbone skin. I can see my work IP address in the box on the right side of the server window. It doesn't give any indication that it's actually playing anything though. Any special trick to get it to play remotely? Do I have to hit play on Winamp also or will it stream automatically? It tries connecting but then times out. I don't have LAME installed because I want to stream the lossless flac files. Is that a problem? Is it safe to assume that since I can control my server remotely I should be able to receive the streamed music and that my ports/firewall/etc are not a problem? What am I missing?

Moose and softsqueeze still connect fine. Have you changed the IP address in the Softsqueeze setup to the new one? Unless you're using some kind of dynamic DNS system that can pick up the IP address change, then you must be connecting directly by the IP address of your router. Also, is your router redirecting the outside IP address to the internal IP address of your SlimSerer? If so, check the router's configuration and see if there's a rule in there somewhere that specifically contained the old IP address. > Is there a way to go back to my old IP address that was working?

Re: [slim] Mac 10.5 Firewall ports
Hi Len I just allowed all these to have inbound access. MySQLd I think is the database that holds all the track info and playlists. The SB needs to talk to this database in order to fill up the buffer and play what you want it to play. Perl kicks in when the library is scanned for new music. It probably does all sorts of other stuff too. MDNSResponder is the stuff that enables the Bonjour networking to see your SB over the network so that you can access the server from another computer eg a laptop without having to type in an ip address localhost:9000.

Have you tried unplugging the router for a few minutes ? Maybe it was running hot and got unstable ? I've seen weirder problems than yours, where the solution was simply a reboot or power-off/cooldown. If your router is really broken, I would just look for another 54GL. They are excellent boxes, especially with all the great firmware you find on the web (I have two running dd-wrt) and you already will be familiar with them and be able to set them up in no time. PS: that's quite some wireless activity in your neighborhood. BTW, I would use channel 1 (if you're not already using it).

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot. I have a Linksys 54GL flashed with Hyperwrt Firmware Version: v4.71.1, Hyperwrt 2.1b1 + Thibor15c. I have the transmit power turned up to 67 mW which I've read is a safe range. I have the extended range antenna. I'm using WPA security. It is about 1.5 years old. The last couple weeks the signal has gotten flaky. I can't count of keeping a signal anymore. It used to work solid with signal glitches being rare. Now, they happen on a very fequent basis. How can I tell if my router is dying? I have a huge number of signals in the area competing - I've read channels 1 6 and 11 are the only ones to use and all three have strong signals. I've attached a scan of the surrounding traffic. I'm not opposed to buying a new router but I don't want to waste money if I don't need to. If I do buy a router - please suggest one for me. +---+ |Filename: Last Seen.zip| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3644| +---+ -- MUCHO MUCHO's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5121 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40059 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Mac 10.5 Firewall ports
Hello; I am running 10.5, and the new application based firewall is set to "Set access for specific services and applications". When I started the Slim Server it asked me if I wanted to allow inbound access for: mysqld perl mDNSResponderPosix Which one of these needs inbound access for my Squeezeboxes to access the server? I'd like to keep my open connections as minimal as possible.

Re: [slim] Can I use spare disk for NAS and run SS?
Check out a Kurbobox (www.kurobox.com). They are basically the same thing as the Buffalo line of NASs, but ship without hard disks, so it sounds perfect for your needs. I store my music library (+ other backups) and run slimserver on a Buffalo LinkStation and it works fine. And it would have been easier if I had gone the Kurobox route, because then I wouldn't have had to re-flash the firmware. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40048 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Can I use spare disk for NAS and run SS?
Hi all, I have a spare (and brand new) 250gb disk. I'd like to be able to make this into a NAS device and use it to run slimserver. I am running Vista on my home PC and if often goes to sleep and will not wake on network ping from the squeezebox, having a NAS would allow me to use the Squeezebox without turning the PC. Has anyone done this, or can anyone tell me how I can achieve this? Thanks. -- Xorro Black/Black SB3 | SS 6.5.2 | Vista Home Premium http://xorro.xpmg.co.uk Xorro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11097 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40048 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] not finding all my songs
I agree that this is still an issue - appears that if the tag is incorrect SS ignores it. I went thru and exercise using mp3tag to clean up all the tags - I first converted tag to file name - then deleted the tags then did convert filename to tag - this ended with all my tags being id3.2 (id3v2.4 utf 8) which sorted the problem - and I do this will all new tracks - a pita but it don't have missing tracks. Also those tags which are APE also seems to cause hiccups - thus I take the above approach ! -- rodlogic rodlogic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39525 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
