Besides getting power to them, you're also likely to have a pretty long run of unbalanced line level cable from the SB to the active ceiling speakers, which is likely to pick up a hum. You could avoid this with baluns at each end. We recently re-did our kitchen and put Polk RC60i speakers in the ceiling. They are inexpensive and sound fine for background music, although they are weak on the bass end of things. At some point I will probably look into either (a) replacing them with 8" speakers or (b) adding a subwoofer. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40455 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Feature Request - Connect to FQDN with access control
Hi This is a feature request for something that I have been working around for years. I live in a couple of locations, due to work and have a couple of friends who i have persuaded to buy Squeezeboxes. As we Swissies are green (or maybe just cheap..) I let everybody connect to my server for music/radio/etc .. this also solves the problem of syncing the whole collection to my other dwellings.. What I wanted to do is have one central Squeezeserver and connect all squeezeboxes to that server. This works fine for all of the squeezeboxes in the house with the server, but the challenge was to get all of the external players to work. As I and most of my friends use Cablecom (Cable internet) the IP rarly changes (only if you have a power outage for longer than 10mins) after trying out VPN, which requires a PC to run or have some router with VPN capibilities, which usualy crash. As i did not want to invest in Cisco PIX/ASA boxes for VPNing (plus all of that overhead...) I went for a differnt aproach. I bought a WRAP device (www.pcengines.com) and installed m0n0wall on it and run it as my main router where the Squeezeserver is. I have set up NAT with rules for every location to only allow port 9000 and 3483 to connect to the Squeezeserver. This works wonderfuly!! Songs start at the remote locations neary as fast as at home. The only drawback is that when there is a power outage, i have to redo some of the rules. The other issue is that this can not be done with XDSL which dynamic IPs that change every day. What would be great is to have the possibilty to enter a FQDN instead of just an IP for the Squeezeserver. This would not solve the problems for XDSL.. but if the "server IP" changes, all of the remote Squeezeboxes would not have to change the IP. My second request would to have built in security for squeezeboxes. You could then enter a password on the Squeezebox and just NAT all traffic from any location to ports 9000 and 3483.. So .. howaboutit?

I always wondered whether anybody would come up with a solution for the SqueezeBox _Controller_. It's an open Linux platform. You could use it as the gateway to the remote server, using SSH tunneling or openvpn or something...

Re: [slim] Need shelf stereo to go with my Squeezebox. Recommendations?
Lou1z: I'm not an audiophile - I don't have the vocabulary to describe like a magazine reviewer. I use all of the speakers in the house for jazz, orchestral and opera. I have a set of Audioengine 5's and Aego M's. Probably not fair to compare the A2 systems directly ($199 vs $350) directly. Still, a short assessment. The Aego M's are brighter, not as balanced, but pump out amazing sound for the size and price. You have to adjust the subwoofer down a bit unless you are a rocker. The Audioengine 5's are a nice value. can't speak to the 2's. Had the 5's before the 2's came out. More finesse with the Audioengines.

But if you really want to display _hundreds_ of albums, the transfer of hundreds of files will take its time. And processing the images before caching them will also need considerable CPU power and memory. Most of my artwork files are below 300x300 pixels.

To answer your explicit questions, yes, it will do everything you want as described above assuming you run a copy of SlimServer on each laptop. Things get more complicated when you want one SlimServer to serve it all.

Re: [slim] Empty playlists every day
Are these .m3u playlists you have created yourself, or are these ITunes or similar created playlists? Quick check, if you open up the playlist file (assuming is is a self-created .m3u or .pls file) in a text editor like Notepad or Editpad, is the file path to your music the same as the path that Slimserver follows to your music library? If the playlist says "..song.mp3" or "d:/Music/song.mp3" but your Music Library folder entry in Slimserver is "//server/Music/song.mp3", it won't pick up the songs in the playlists. Easy to fix if so, just find/replace the relevant text so that it follows the Slimserver naming convention. If the file path is the same, could be a permissions issue - can you describe your set up a bit more (OS, network/storage structure, how playlists are created etc). -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42908 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Large music library = slow Slimserver??
It's been a while since I've added anything to this thread so here is an update on some changes that I've made my configuration and how things are working out. First, I picked up the following new hardware: 1) a Dell Inspiron 530S computer (it's the slim version of the Inspiron 530) without a monitor. 2) A IOGEAR kvm switch so that I can use the Inspiron along with my existing Dell Dimension 4600 computer. 3) A Drobo storage robot which I then loaded with four 750GB Seagate sata hard drives. I've configured the hardware as follows: 1) My old Dell Dimension 4600 is now used exclusively as a dedicated server running SlimServer 6.5.4 2) The Drobo is connected to the Dell Dimension 4600 via USB 2.0 3) The Dell Inspiron 530S is now my "main" computer on which I do all my computer related work, e.g. email, web surfing, downloading, ripping CDs, etc. Note: any new music which I want to add to my music library is first prepared on the Inspiron and then transfered to the Dimension 4600 via my network (both computers are connected to my router via CAT5 cable). After I got the Drobo I transfered my entire music library, which was spread across 4 external USB hard drives, over the course of several days onto the Drobo. I set up the directory structure on the Drobo as follows: F:\Drobo Music\Classical F:\Drobo Music\Christmas F:\Drobo Music\Jazz F:\Drobo Music\Other F:\Drobo Music\Rock That's it, just five subdirectories for all my music. Each CD or multi-CD set gets it's own subdirectory within one of five main music directories. Several of the five main music directories are quite large (the "jazz" directory has about 1,700 subdirectories, or "albums" in it) while some are fairly small (the "other" directory has about 10 items in it). So how is this new setup working out? Glad you asked. So far, so good. One of the reasons that I picked up a new computer is that I feel that my old Dell is reaching the end of it's life cycle and since I'm presently living in the Netherlands until at least early next year, I didn't want to have to buy a new computer in Europe. I bought the new Dell and the Drobo while I was back in the US for the Christmas holidays and carried them both back in my luggage which, by the way, was way overweight. As far as the problems I was experiencing (as outlined in the first post of this thread) here's a rundown on what's changed and what's not. > The response of the server to various commands from any of the > Squeezeboxes or the Transporter can vary from reasonably fast to > achingly slow.

This slow response behavior is somewhat better but still not perfect. I can now browse thru my music folder quite bit faster but it still hesitates after reaching one of the main music subfolders, i.e. the "jazz" subfolder. However, I now do not have to go through the process twice, as stated above. > This the major problem but at other times the server will momentarily > stop playing, particularly if there is a heavy load being placed on my > computer, e.g. file copying or some other cpu and/or disc intensive > task.

The SlimServer interface still runs rather slowly and still will not display "albums" or "songs". I will most likely upgrade the server to SlimCenter 7.0 once the official version is released. Just for the record, the Drobo works great and since it is automatically "backing up" my music library I no longer have to worry about one of the external hard drives failing and me losing that part of my music library. -- ralphpnj ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827
Re: [slim] Squeezebox & Multiple Libraries
I think you have a fundamental design decision to make. What you want to do can be achieved a couple of different ways and there are pros/cons of each: Option 1. Run Slimserver on a single machine but give it access to all the music stored on each laptop (you can put symbolic links into a top level music folder and Slimserver will read all the music stored in the folders which are linked to the top level one). I think this will work if the laptops can access each others music as if they were a network drive. You then have one big library of all your music, and there is a Multi Library plugin (mentioned already) which will allow you just to see your own music. However, the players will only work if Slimserver on the single laptop is switched on. Option 2. Install Slimserver on each machine that has music, and put only the music in that box into the Library. Then use something like the ServerSwitcher plugin (see 'here' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33726&highlight=serverswitcher)) to swap each player between the different instances of Slimserver as you need to. In theory, that is. Never tried it myself. IMHO the time and inconvenience of trying to work out where any individual bit of music is when you want to listen to it makes pooling it in a single place the easier option, but I can see why it would work for you to keep all these separate. My better half and I have about 9000 tracks which exist under seperate top level folders on an old Dell PC. Slimserver reads both and gives us a combined library, but we use Multi Library and filters in MusicIP to seperate out our music when we only want to listen to our own. We've been together for long enough (and plan to stay together for a while more) that it's been worth it to combine the two like this. Can I also throw in an option 3, depending on your broadband speed and number/size of files?

Re: [slim] Empty playlists every day
If you do a full clear and rescan every day, my understanding is that Slimserver completely re-writes its database and forgets about all the files which existed in your Now Playing playlist. So it will be empty every day regardless of the maintain client playlist settings. There were changes to scanning behaviour around the time of 6.5.3/6.5.4 which may have introduced this IIRC. Maybe try a regular scan for new music only, which shouldn't affect links to existing files in the database? -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42908 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Once you go to multiple drives you also have the problem of how to deal with adding new albums by artists for which you already have albums by. If Drive A is full then you would need a new artist folder in Drive B. But then you don't have all of the albums by one artist in the same folder.

Re: [slim] Connection help, please
It doesn't matter if it can be undone, it'll just turn inactive if there's no traffic to pass from the USB connection on to the Ethernet connection. Windows calls bridging "Internet Connection Sharing" or ICS. I think this can be done from within Settings - Network. You highlight both connections and activate ICS. Unfortunately Sprint's software may prevent you from doing this, it may not present the USB Internet connection as a standard USB networking connection or it may disable ICS entirely. Try it from within the Windows environment first and see if it lets you. If it won't, call Sprint, ask them how to do it and act surprised that they disabled a part of your computer you paid for (when you bought a Windows license). -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: "I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.

[slim] "Smart" Re-buffering?
My favorite radio station tends to drop its feed every so often, causing my SB to display "Rebuffering...47%" or similar. Mostly, it will stay like that all day unless I pick up the remote and press the Play button, and it will then usually grab music, fill the buffer, and start playing again. How can I automate the process, in effect have the SB press the play button for me? -- rocket j squirrel -- rocket j squirrel rocket j squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4595 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42935 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Harmony Remote and Power Cycling SB3
My 659 doesn't show this problem either. To my untrained eye, it looks like your 659 is sending a pause and power toggle when you switch the SB off. Since the SB was already paused, that will act like a play command. I suggest you check the Harmony setup for the appropriate activity. It sounds like the enter/leave activity stuff is set up to do more than just toggle the power. Activities/(Whatever)Settings/Review the Settings/Yes, but I want to add more control... then plough through to the custom options screen for the activity.

[slim] Squeeze Center file access
Can anyone explain when and for what situations Squeeze center accesses audio files. I have Squeeze center set up on my Windows Desktop and I have a secondary drive containing all my music. I have it set up for my drive to spin down after 2hrs of no use. The problem is I'm finding the drive spinning up occasionally with SqueezeCenter. For what other reason would SqueezeCenter be trying to access these file for other than streaming and the routine Scan? I have found on more than one occasion with scan off and the squeezebox disconnected... the drive spinning up for some reason. -- N8Byers N8Byers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15025 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42941 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Leopard, SLIMP3 and Server
I'm sorry to just post without researching this. I've been using four SLIMP3s with v4.1b1 of the server on Mac Panther and Tiger for about 8 years now. Without any firmware updates or any other changes to the server etc. It just works :) Ok, I have to stick with MP3 since my SLIMP3s wont decode anything else, but hey, it just works! I've just purchased a brand new iMac and will need to install the server. I'd like to install the latest server of course. Will this support the SLIMP3s? Are there any gotchas that I need to be aware off? BTW, did I mention, it just works!
