[slim] Remote Control Issue
I have been having issues with my Remote Control for a couple of months. When the power button was pressed the Squeezebox 3 came on, but pressing any other buttons did nothing. I enabled the logging of remote commands and only saw the presses of the power button. This hasn't been too much of a problem as I have been using my laptop to control the Squeezebox. However, I recently rebuilt the PC running the server. The IP address has changed. As a result the Squeezebox is asking me to setup networking etc. As the Remote doesn't appear to be working I can't do this. Has anybody else had issues with the remote control like this. Should I just buy a replacement to solve my problems?

Re: [slim] Magic FM
Since the problem is mainly with internet radio - then the cause is probably your broadband connection. Internet radio especially live streams need a smooth flow of data. If the flow is lumpy or start/stop (you can see this when doing a file download) - this has no effect on browsing or downloads but with live radio some audio packets are delayed and arrive too late to be played so you get a gap. I've heard reports of this (especially at peak times) with the 3G (not ADSL) based broadband services. The real solution is a better service but a workaround can be better buffering to smooth out the lumps but this may not always be enough. With Squeezebox and Slimserver the actions you can take 1. Increase Buffering to say 30 - under Server Setting/Network/Radio Station Buffering. This will delay when the station starts playing. 2. Make PC and Slimserver do some buffer - (i) For MP3 streams under Player Settings/Audio change MP3 Streaming to Proxied (ii) For WMA streams on Windows based Slimserver - uncheck Server Settings/FileTypes/Windows Media (built-in) and click change. Wifi in open country (i.e. no buildings) has a long range. In Dublin from the attic I can detect (not use) UCD's wifi network 4 miles away - line of sight with the UCD's Water Tower which has an access point. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40869 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Remote Control Issue
Change the battery - a weak battery has enough charge to turn on SB but then not enough for any other button. Check the remote is working by using a digital camera/video camera/mobile phone camera as they are sensitive to IR light from remote. View the LED at the front of the remote through the camera - when you press button - you should see LED light up if remote is working. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40954 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well, when I went back into safari to take a screen shot, everything looked great! Dig the new interface! If this should happen again I will take a screenshot. Originally all of the icons on the (left side column) were on top of each other. Still though, the way the songs are starting is what is preventing me from listening to my squeezebox (under sc7). I've tried different albums, artists, playlists, file types, etc. All result in songs starting at places other than the beginning. This happens when controlling squeezebox from sb remote, mac (running server), and iphone (ipeng). The interface still thinks the song is starting at 0:00 (the scrubber does not appear to be in sync with the music).

Scaremongering The file filtering is only when you install the remote sharing software, and only for non authorised users. For example, if you log into their (windows only) sharing software with the owner account, you can get all the content. If a guest logs in, they get the filtered list. It isn't an evil drive, just rubbish software. And when you actually understand what it is doing and why, it is perfectly sensible.

I see some details though, for example this would require a clean shutdown of SC whereas the OP is probably looking for something that would work with a crash, power outage, etc. Secondly, someone with muliple players may want some of them on SN all the time - so SC shouldn't just blindly pull back all the players it can find on startup. The second issue is just a UI/config thing, but to properly solve the first case I think it would need a firmware change to have the SB (optionally) connect to SN whenever it loses the SC connection. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26102 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Brief and far from scientific tests have suggested that our CD player still outperforms the SB3, but the sheer convenience of the SB3 wins out. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40955 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Tip: Run SqueeCenter as an application.
Hi, This might not be functionally revolutionary, but at least conceptually very nice. There is a growing interest in running web-applications as normal application, e.g. gmail, google docs, etc. Prism is Mozilla's take on that. I've been running SqueezeCenter in Prism for a while quite like it. It's only a prototype yet, but by following the link one can download Prism (MS, Linux, Mac) and give it a spin. http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/11/prism-prototype-now-available-on-mac-and-linux/ I think the latest OSX has something like this, but for the rest of us...

[slim] Switching to Imac--how to name the nas in Leopard?
I have been successfully (and painlessly) running several versions of Slimserver for a year and a half or so, on a squeezebox and a Transporter, most recently on an old PC with Ethernet wired to the pc and the transporter, and a wireless connection to the squeezebox. I decided to move up. I just successfully managed to connect the transporter to the server software running on the Imac. I still cannot get the Slimserver to accept the name of the NAS/directory/etc. Does anyone know the naming convention? I have even tried pasting and it doesn't work. I'm running 6.5.4 on an 8-day-old Imac. Thanks. -- 1030bourbon 1030bourbon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40978 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Music sounds better with you?
At first. A little less as time goes on. I still find it cumbersome to randomly browse through my library to select something to play. Mostly, I think, due to the sluggishness of browsing albums in the web interface. A wall of CD spines is still (somewhat surprisingly) easier to use when picking something out. I'll often actually look through the CD rack and then play whatever I find using the SlimServer web interface. But it does other things well. Random play, playlists, searches. I don't use playlists much at all, and random play only for background listening. Searching is the main thing - to find all the recordings of 'Winter Wonderland' that I have, or quickly find all the tracks by Mel Torme. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40955 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Wow - Squeezebox in Frys
I was in Frys over the weekend and saw my first every Squeezebox in a mainstream retail outlet a nice little display hooked up to a pair of Logitech speakers (shame they still don't sell a bundled offering with the SB3 controlling the speakers on/off etc). two really funny things... it was next to a Roku that looked quite old and unworthy, and the guy standing next to me looking at the display and admiring it was a merchandising guy from Creative! Shame I didn't buy the Logitech Z5500 speakers I'd gone there to get (they'll hook up to the SB3 and the TV in the living room, the Z4i set will go to the SB3 down in the exercise/rumpus room) ...

[slim] Wi-Fi Internet Clock Radio?
I've been spoilt by my Squeezebox. You see its given me easy access to my whole music collection, countless radio stations from every corner of the world and podcasts of every nature. My living room audio is fully catered for. Because of this, lately the bedroom clock radio is starting to get really annoying. Being limited to the few local AM/FM stations with scratchy reception and packed full of advertising is just not cutting it anymore. I would get another Squeezebox, but it doesn't quite fill the need. I need a small, tidy, bedside unit that has its own speakers and dedicated buttons for presets, snooze etc without having to navigate menus for everything. This would be used to go to sleep to and to wake up to. I can see some devices on the net, but am not too sure about some of them. Roku seems to have released something recently, but its a touch on the chunky side and I'm more of a Slim person ;) I wonder if the Slim/Logi guys have anything in the works?
