No problems with album covers in Firefox anymore? To create a PDF you either have to install Adobe Acrobat (this will also install a PDF printer) or a third party PDF printer (PDF995 is freeware).

I don't know if you've ever bothered to research this, but shipping costs aren't simply directly proportional to distance travelled. The country of entry matters, as does the type of product and any regulatory issues. Canada, for example, has the now 5% GST but products simply jumping across the border from the US are not simply 5% more. There are costs for meeting CSA safety regulations as well as packaging due to the requirement for both French and English on packaging, plus labelling laws on certain products (especially food). > If so, how > does any given country differ significantly from the US in these > areas? > Are Logitch keyboards 50% more expensive in other countries than they > are in the US? I haven't had the opportunity to compare keyboards, but I have noticed that network routers are much more costly. as is some food, gasoline most certainly. Beer at the pubs is cheaper by a bit (helped by the no tipping thing). Eating out at a restaurant is insane (at least in most parts of England. Bedding seems to be cheaper, strangely, and most things you get at M&S. It varies wildly but hardly predatory. They have rather stiff laws about that. Oddly, my recent need for a hard drive in the UK lead me to a very nice supply of computer parts that were on par with hard drives in my part of Canada. However, this store is the low overhead type that isn't likely to be carrying squeezeboxes any time soon. Keyboards, I imagine, also benefit from an economy of scale. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I reviewed the postings on this site as well as the press release and I still can't seem to figure out the particulars of the Duet and how it would work within my existing set up. Hopefully someone can answer my questions. Here is my current setup: 2 - Slimp3's 3 - Squeeze Box Series 3 1 - Squeezebox Series 1 - Connected through a mixture of Ethernet and Wireless - Using an Infrant Ready NAS NV to stream SlimServer The setup currently works well, except for the slowness of the web interface and the ready NAS. Questions: 1. If a bought a Duet, would it sync with the other devices for simultaneous playback? 2. If I bought just the remote, would it work with my existing slimp3/squeezeboxes? 3. If I bought just the remote, would it work with my Ready NAS, or would I have to run separate software on another computer (I sure hope not)?

Re: [slim] Price Difference
Don't forget that in the US "a deal is a deal". Many US resellers have restocking fees that apply if the customer decides to return his unit. This does not hold true for many countries outside the US. For instance in Finland, any seller must BY LAW take back a consumer unit for FULL REFUND if the product is returned within 14 days. Restocking fees are generally unheard of in Nordic countries (and in Europe in general, AFAIK). All returns will be a burden on the seller. Consequently, the margins must be bigger than in the US.

Re: [slim] IP Questions
dminches;258076 Wrote: > > 2 - If my computer has a static IP is there any difference between > loading 127.0.0.1 or the computer's IP address to access slimserver? The first question has been well answered but this is just to clarify on the second question. Prepare for more information than you really wanted :) (The simple bit) 127.0.0.1 (which is named localhost) is always 'this machine'. If you are on a machine with an IP address of, say, 192.168.0.1 then, from that machine, you can generally use either 192.168.0.1 or 127.0.0.1 interchangeably. (The 'more than you wanted to know' bit) There are 2 circumstances I can think of where the 2 addresses will give different results: 1 - This depends on how the operating system (actually the IP stack) handles the addresses. I have seen systems where using 127.0.0.1 works but the 'real' address does not - if the network cable to the machine has been unplugged. When accessing the 'real' address, the IP stack talks to the network card, which reports that it has no connection. The call fails. When accessing 127.0.0.1, the IP stack realises that it is local, does NOT talk to the network card, and the call succeeds. 2 - If a machine has more than one network card in use, they will have different addresses. This is called a 'multi homed host'. Say the addresses are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. Now some software is written such that it will only respond to calls on one specific IP address - (I've no idea about Slimserver, I'm afraid). If you use one of the specific addresses, then you know that software listening on that address will respond. If you use 127.0.0.1, you have no control over which IP address this will go to, so you don't know if the software will respond.

I'm sure you have already noticed that the Receiver is simply a Squeezebox without screen in a black box at half the price ($149 vs $299). I think both the controller and receiver (=Duet combined) are a very smart marketing move: 1) It does not annoy customers that recently spent $300 on a Squeezebox or $2000 on a Transporter. These owners can simply buy a controller to get the added functionality. This will put them at a step beyond a simple Duet setup, and most people will probably not agonize about losing out. 2) The Receiver part adds a truely missed component to the line; an inexpensive way to add a player to locations where you don't care about (or want) seeing a display, like in a kitchen setup.

Re: [slim] Is Duet screen better than Harmony 880 screen
I currently use the Handheld Web Interface on a PDA for controlling my Transporter.

Sorry, Squeezebox absolutely needs a copy of slimserver to talk to. You can use whatever player you like to send audio to your computer's audio out, and then use one of the various available kludges to catch that and send it though slimserver to the SB, if you really want to. Or you could investigate one of the alternative player-controllers for slimserver, like Moose (see 3rd party board).

There are quite a few players of this general type - I've recently acquired a Netgear EVA8000 myself. Most of these players use either a uPnP server or an SMB file share to access their data. My experience so far is that because of the considerably greater complexity of streaming video (there are so many file types, formats, containers...) these products are not very mature. You could think of all of them as being like a Squeezebox for video, though. (NB - that's a horrible over-simplification but its a good starter). The network issues associated with streaming full-resolution (never mind HD) video make the debates here over wireless LAN issues look very simple, though!

Re: [slim] SB3 rebuffering and reset problems
I have been having similar problem with rebuffering with my SB3. The SB3 is a recent addition to my network, replacing a SB1. The Rebuffering 1% ... message has been occurring with some frequency. The problem is that it never rebuffers, at that point the music just stops. This is with my own mp3 files. I'm able to hit play and start the song again, the SB3 does not crash. I noticed that wireless traffic on my WLAN spikes on each song change, going from around 256 kbps (my mp3s are VBR, so this varies a lot) to 3600-4000 kbps. I haven't yet done a packet capture to see what these spikes are. Because of the spikes, I made sure the web interface was not running, disabled AudioScrobbler and my SBC to see if those were the cause, but the spikes continue. I wonder if the burst of traffic is overwhelming the SB3 somehow. I ran network health tests at 320 kbps and 500 kbps and it stayed at 100%. Wireless strength is 80. I don't think there's any packet loss. The SB1 in that location never had problems. There are no warnings or errors in the server log. I didn't see a likely bug in the bug db for this.

(not the religious kind) I couldn't agree more... but I'd like to add. Lots of folks use the album covers to quickly navigate their music library. I have several artist with multiple CDs. Most times I do not remember the name of the album or the name of the track, but I assure you I know which CD I have to pickup to listen to the track I want. Call it the quick-visual-recognition-effect. No need to read or write. I have a lot of World music CDs and can't even spell the name of some of the artists or albums to search with accuracy. To avoid having to look at CD jackets I use genre, playlists, favorites with the existing remote and Moose for the rare times I use my laptop to listen or manipulate my library. I think the Controller will integrate these navigation and manipulation methods for me. I don't hate PDAs but, I feel that PDAs are not a good fit as a remote. They require two hands to manipulate them (put-beer-down syndrome) and as "multi-tasking" they "usually" do not master any of these tasks. Acting as a remote being one of them. They were initially designed to facilitate the use of applications while on the run and to compliment them, but not as a full replacement for most of these applications. If you had the choice what would you use to browse the web with... a small screen PDA or a full screen computer? Of course, if you're on the run they're excellent replacements. Lately, applications specifically designed for mobility (with a natural fit - like GPS and contact related apps) are starting to take full advantage of this mobile devices. I don't know how long the Controller takes to come up, but I hope that is as close to instant-on as possible. I know that when my PDA or Smartphone hangs it takes some time to reboot. Once it has rebooted, I have to start the Remote Control app or browser and then I have to wait for connection to the SC. I don't have to tell you how frustrating it is to have to run for the manufacture's remote to lower the volume because the PDA has taken a nap ro is going through its wake up process. I never had or will have to reboot the existing remote. The two thing I want to see implemented in this Controller are. 1.) A practical and flexible Playlist application. A dynamic playlist function that won't interfere with the selection that is currently being played. The ability to move tracks within playlists and the ability to select and add multiple tracks from Artis/album views to the playlist of one choice. 2.) The segregation of configuration options of the SC from the functions required to listen to music and manipulate playlist. All the fuunctions that have the potential damage my music library or change the way the SC is configured should be password protected. I want to be able to hand over this remote to my wife, family and friends with absolute confidence that they won't mess with my setup. One more thing... The ability to use the "inactive" earphone plug with headphones to preview tracks before adding them to a playlist with one hand while lying in the sofa and with the other hand on my IPA... would be the icing on my cake. -- tamanaco tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Hi, My apologies if this has been asked before but I just wondered if the new SqueezeBox device will have an I2S interface that is more easily used in combination with the TDA1541A format than was the SB3? (ie without the need for additional logic to modify the left/right justification thing) It would be ideal for me if it did since I could easily then build the SB receiver into my DAC very close to the TDA1541A and since it doesn't have the VFD display and the parts that drive it then even better.

After a power cycle of 2 minutes it powers back on, shows the Logitech logo etc and tries to connect to SqueezeCenter. After a few seconds the screen goes black on nothing further seems to happen. The remote is still working. Holding down power 5 secs on the remote seems to reset the SB3, holding down the ADD button looks to reset it to default (or was that when pushing LEFT?, can't remember did it a few hours ago).

[slim] Streaming interruption Q
OK, a bit of a twist on the old question. Both my wife and I have Softsqueeze on our work computers (different companies, locations, IPS, etc) accessing the server at home. The install is with LAME as the files are in flac on the server, and converted when streamed over the internet. Well, I never encounter stuttering, etc. She encounters stuttering at times. She says this is whenever I am on it as well. I would presume it is a bandwidth issue (using a 5Mbps cable connection) on the upstream, but,, It is odd that I do not encounter this stuttering when she is on. I have tried both proxy and direct streaming. I have adjusted both our settings in effort to minimize upstream needs. Thoughts? Is anyone streaming using internet to different locations using a cable connection at the server? Care to offer your settings that work?

[slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
Hi all, I've run into a problem where I can't get my SB3 to connect to the server anymore. I have tried to reset the SB3. My setup is as follows. A SB3 is connected directly to a Mac Mini via an Ethernet cable, no wireless. The Mini is running Leopard 10.5.1. On the Mini the Ethernet is set to Manually configuration and the IP is 192.168.1.30, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 Starting up a webbrowser I can go to 192.168.1.30:9000 and see SqueezeCenter. The SB3 does boot and allow me to choose networking to static address. I've giving the SB3 the address 192.168.1.40, subnet is set to 255.255.255.0. gateway and dns is set to 0. Music source is set to 192.168.1.30. Is there anything wrong with the above setup? I'm not using a crossover cable, it hasn't been a problem before. But just for fun I've found an old switch to put in between but it didn't help. I think my problems began when I tried to enable DHCP on the Mini. It didn't work and now I can't seem to get static IP working again.

I consider myself one of the 'faithful' (I own 2 Squeezebox and referred another friend into buying one himself) but do no hacking whatsoever. The closest I get to tooling around is to try an occasional nightly build of SqueezeCenter, and that's usually only to fix an occasional bug or obtain new features. At first announcement, I was one of the vocal who bitched about the Controller's price, but I have now resigned myself to eagerly awaiting it's retail release and will be one of the first to order it. I've tried a Nokia 770, a PSP, a laptop, and now my iPhone. Although all of them work, the Controller will work much better and integrate as a proper remote control should: fast/responsive and intuitive. I'm just trying to decide whether or not I want to blow an extra $100 USD and just get a Duet.

Re: [slim] Autoscan
I don't believe that the SlimServer does that out of the box. It normally only scans on demand. It is shipped with a plug in that can schedule a rescan once a day. Have you installed the AutoRecan plugin. This plugin does what you describe in that it rescans everytime you add or change something. (Only for SC7) If you look at the server settings plugin page you have the option to disable any plugin and also to configure them to your liking. Are you using the iTunes library feature?

Thanks again, Phil! The MAC address is correct. The IP address assigned is 192.168.2.2:23277. Right now my Squeezebox decided it would work again for a while, but as soon as it stops again, I will check the other details!

[slim] Cat among the pigeons
Let me start by saying that I have been a very happy and dedicated SB (2) user for a few years now. But, I am now setting up a dedicated home cinema and this raises several questions about how to transport music there from my server. Inevitably I find my mind turning to non-SB solutions because I would also want to transport pictures/video from the server as well. Yet I am reluctant to do so. I have some experience using a PS3 to do precisely that, and this has been less than satisfying. Wouldn't it be great if SBs could also transport images and video? Are there any plans in this direction?
