Re: [slim] Wireless experts out there? I need help
I ended up solving my problem. First I decided perhaps it was getting too hot since it is on 24/7 and I have been upping the power so I opened it up and put some heatsinks on the 2 chips that were warm to the touch. Unfortunately somehow this process killed the router - so I now have a Trendnet draft N router that was $29.95 after rebate and without any hacks or extended range antenna I'm getting 6-10% better signal on the squeezeboxes. -- 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

Re: [slim] 1 step down
It's not really clear what you are trying to do. Do you have a SqueezeBox or are you trying to use SlimServer/SqueezeCenter to play music on your PC? If you have an SB that will find the server automatically when you start it. If the latter then you should look at using the SB emulator, SoftSqueeze.

[slim] Sirius Plugin playing but no audio?
Hello! Wondering if anyone has had a problem where your Squeezbox shows your Sirius stream is playing yet you don't receive any audio? All other internet radio stations work as does any of my personal music collection. I can access the Sirius menus and choose a station and the devices shows it should be playing but nothing comes out. It was working just fine a few days ago. Here's a log dump, though I'm not entire sure which logs to choose when debugging. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Re: [slim] Skipping folders for import
I developed a small patch to SlimServer. With this patch, SlimServer will ignore directories that contain a file named '.slimskip'. I use it to hide directories from the scanner, while they are still browsable manually. For example, directories that contain unsorted music, or other things that I do not want to go into the database. You can find the patch here: http://johan.vromans.org/software/sw_slimserver.html -- sciurius sciurius's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13819 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39906 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Cue Sheet Problems
Hi Andy, Upon your suggestion played around a bit with the embedded tags. Thanks - that was a good suggestion! In most cases I got the embedded tags in good accord with the external .cue sheet. Got both the "COMPOSER" and "CONDUCTOR" fields in, Foobar interpreting them correctly. Working on this found I am very much missing a tool where I could edit both the embedded tags and the external .cue sheet simultaneously. Not touching the indexes, just the composer, performer, title, etc. fields. Should be possible... Now I had to use metaflac - TagScanner/MediaMonkey - Notepad - Foobar to achieve what I want. And even with this combo I currently haven't figured out how to tag/cue properly a disc where several composers/performers are represented. Will be experimenting a bit more in the evening...

Re: [slim] SB3 doesn't like microwave
I guess your SB3 uses wireless? The microwave emitts radiation in the same frequency band in which the sb3's wireless card operates (2.4GHz). Try to switch the wireless channel in your router configuration to see if this improves things. A filter in the mains socket wouldn't help at all. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40239 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

What I want the SB3 to do is; Display the title of the song now playing. Move on to the next title when selected by remote control. After 30 secs revert to the Analogue VU meter. What settings do I need ? At the moment I get the VU meter to appear as a screensaver but the track title only appears when it is first selected.

[slim] Really slow menus
I have just started using a Mac Mini as a slimserver music server, instead of using my main PC. Everything seemed ok at first but now I find that the menus on the SB3 are really slow to respond to the remote. If I want to scroll through artists or albums etc then it may scroll through a couple but then it freezes and after 10-20 seconds it cathces up and goes through loads of them (depending on how many times you've pressed the button on the rmeote), then it will frezze again, and so on. I've seen similar problems reported on other threads, and most of these blame a wireless networking issue, but given that I have no such issue when I use my main PC (Windows Vista) using the same network, I'm wondering if it is specific to the Mac and if anyone knows what the soultion is. It's a real pain because the Mac is in a back bedroom with no mnonitor, mouse or keyboard, so I can't physically check whats going on with it unless I bring it down stairs and use the bits from my main PC setup. -- unclepuncle unclepuncle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40241 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
