[slim] Speaker vibrations bad for Squeezebox?
Hi all, I just bought a pair of active speakers (Audioengine 5), and I'm very happy with them - the Squeezebox looks great standing on top of one of them (I've put it on the one with the amplifier inside). A stupid thought maybe, but I wonder if there could be any downside to placing the Squeezebox right on top of an active speaker - for instance could the vibrations from the speaker harm any of its components - what do you think? -- sand Two Squeezebox 3 QNAP TS-109 Seagate ES 500GB SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Debian - EN - utf8 Server IP address: 192.168.1.4 Perl Version: 5.8.8 arm-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.41 sand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9856 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43677 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Provided your speaker is well spikes to the floor, I vibtrations will be minimal. You could always place your SB on a small rubber mat.

Think about the bandwidth required to stream 1080p content to thousands and millions of customers. Can you imagine it becoming available anytime soon? I don't think so.

The speakers are relatively small (10" x 7" x 8"), not spiked. My thought was that smaller speakers might 'jump around' more..? I'll check for heat.

Seems that the SB is ok, then. Opening up a port would be needed if you have a firewall on, but you say you haven't. By the way (long shot, but could just be relevant) did your iMac come with Leopard or is this an upgrade from Tiger?

I've said my piece on this a few times, but as one of the (few?) women who post on here regularly, I'd agree with what Jim and others have said. Personally, I dislike the way "WAF" can and is used, but I've never seen it as anything other than affectionate here and, as a result, can't get too wound up about it. Where I do agree with James is that there's sometimes a general level of background chatter which is pretty off-putting to the casual female browser and does (again, in my opinion) on occasions reinforce the idea that women can't do anything other than "plug and play" technology. However, it's far from exclusive to this forum and isn't something you can moderate (IMHO). I also think haunyack's response hits the nail on the head - in every human relationship we tend fall into roles: one welds, the other cooks, one does technology, the other pays the bills on time.

The BW is available now to make it a breeze(fiber to the home), its still just too expensive becuase of the infrasture investment that needs to be made. That is why DSL and Cable modems have been successfull-- they work on the already existing infrastructure. I have COMCAST cable service with streaming service they call ON DEMAND. It streams audio and video over the cable to my box. Even HD content in 1080i with Dolby Digital 5.1. So, actually, I think they could even do 1080p and uncompressed 5.1 audio (I'm guessing it would take twice as much more BW?). They are just waiting for more widespread adoption of 1080p before they begin to offer it (and probably charge more for it!)

Re: [slim] Looks like Blu-Ray has won
Physical media is going to stay. More so for movies. 1. Bandwidth does not catch up fast enough. By the time you could download a Blu-ray disc fast enough, Sony will have Blu-ray Ultra with 2TB media supporting 4320p HD format. 2. Hard Disk size not catching up fast enough. A 500G drive could only store a dozen of movies. You also need to back up the hard drive otherwise you eventually lose it. 3. A typical movie you will watch it once every a few years. Why bother to use expensive online storage (Hard Disk) for it? 4. A typical movie will last about 2 hours, inserting a physical disc is not a incovenience. (Music is different, songs last 3-4min which would trigger a lot of disc swap.) 5. A lot of online movie purchase has "time limit". That is you can only watch it over a something like a 24-hour period. This is very wrong. It is more like rental only. When I buy I Blue-ray disc, I own it and can watch it later, give it to my friends or even sell it at a later day. It may even have investment value. (A lot of my LP collection could be sold for a price a lot higher than when I bought it.) 6. Physical media helps sales. A physical media on a shelf display in shops has advertising effect and could trigger more sales. -- Honva Honva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43609 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

First, if Logitech became a MS company I would not purchase more products either. It is not meant as a threat. I've deliberately avoided MS products for 10+ years. Some of the major reasons reasons I have are for example the EU MS antitrust-case, MS's seemingly unwillingness to listen to others than themselves in the discussion around the Open Document Format, the "threats" towards the free software-community regarding patents. Furthermore MS does not seem to learn from their mistakes. A while ago they where sued by Opera for basically the same as they got fined for in the EU case. In general I do not approve of the closeness of their business model. I also think that some of their informational campaigns are giving wrong information, such as their recent anti-piracy campaign.

Hi, I am running SlimServer 6.5.5 on Windows XP SP2 on a IBM 6850 2 x 2,4 Xeon, 1Gb ECC ram with 6 drives (M/N/O/P/Q/R/S) with about 75K tracks (1Tb).

Re: [slim] Looks like Blu-Ray has won
Yes, HD is compressed (mpeg) video. It has to be. Uncompressed 24-bit RGB images are 5.9 mb PER FRAME or 177 mbps. An HD transport stream is 19 mbps if you pull it in over the air. Cable companies compress it further to fit more channels through the pipe, so you're actually getting somewhere around 7-10 mpbs via Comcast. Look at AppleTV...their movies aren't even DVD quality.

[slim] Transporter II form factor
I can see from photos in the Transporter system gallery that the Transporter looks more the part of an audiophile component than the SB3 or the Duet but I would like to offer a recomendation. I am a convert to Bel Canto's systems and love their sound and form factor. An under-the-hood inspection of the Transporter shows a lot of empty space that could be placed in a much smaller enclosure. Small is good. The Trends TA-10.1, Peter Daniel's Patek and the Might Mouse amp among others have busted the big is better paradigm in high end audio. Bel Canto's Reference 1000's are award winning amps and also half (or more!) the size of traditional amps. No longer do we need to have mass to have superior audio. I recommend the next Transporter be 1/2 its present size which could easily be done without sacrificing any of the elements within. My two cents from the peanut gallery. -- Suprlite7 SB3-Bel Canto DAC3-Bel Canto Ref1000s-Gallo Reference 3.1 Suprlite7's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43697 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Incorrect tags hanging around after rebuilding DB
Slimserver reports that I've got 0 tracks by 0 artists for year "199". I guess at some point I'd incorrectly tagged something with the year "199" and then corrected it - but Slimserver still thinks it's there somewhere. How do I ditch this? I tried taking a backup of and then deleting the file "C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Cache\MySQL\ibdata1" The file started out at something like 100MB. After Slimserver started up and (I assume) rebuilt the database, the subsequently generated file is around 10MB. I thought that would probably be the end of it, but the dodgy tag still remains :( How do I completely blitz the DB and rebuild it from scratch?

I don't understand why you feel you need to rip at 96k! There's nothing on the vinyl above 20kHz!! Even if you ripped at 48k you've got extra room for the 'air'.

Re: [slim] Looks like Blu-Ray has won
Death of physical media is not only a technical problem. Imagine all the movies in servers where you must log in to watch a particular movie. Then imagine a new witch hunt or a puritanist regime, and all your favourite films are not available anymore. Seems a little far out at first, but it has already begun. Fans of Tex Avery have noticed that on the DVD box set some episodes are missing and others have been censored (for being "racist"). Worse, tv channels cannot air them even if they have the tapes. A friend bought the box set and discovered that, luckyly we have old VHS tapes uncensored. if you read french: http://martinwinckler.com/article.php3?id_article=121 or http://dvdfr.solexine.fr/news/news.php?id=2597 It's only cartoons, but on the other hand if they can do it to cartoons If things go on the way it has begun, there will be no more dvds, no more cds, and even no more books (owned by google), we will depend on the will of governments or big companies.

Re: [slim] Nintendo DS Lite Browser as Interface
I agree with zingerhill and thing-fish: slow, but just about usable with handheld skin. The DS has a very nice toggle between Overview (1 screen shows a zoomed in view of the other) and SSR (Small Screen Rendering) which is useful. However, the nature of the SlimServer / SqueezeCenter interface is there's a lot to display and it means you will have to scroll around quite a lot. One of the problems is the add-on cartridge which fits in the GBA slot only contains 10MB of RAM - you constantly have to let the DS Browser clear its cache. I'm waiting for the Duet Controller...

[slim] Remote Control Feature Request
I have a squeezebox three and would like to be able to program my universal remote to play my favorites on squeezenetwork [through the SB3] more easily. The current method of navigation requires choosing favorites, hitting the right arrow, scrolling down until you find your favorite and then pressing play. This does not work well if you are programming a universal remote [and requires that you see the display on your squeezebox]. What would really help would if you could have a macro code or push the keypad to take you to a particular favorite. For example, pressing 2 on the remote takes you to favorite #2. This would be more reliable with programmable remotes. Opinions?

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
Some explanation of how services run in Windows, and this is valid for all versions. My apologies if this is already explained in this thread, too many posts to read The security model in Vista has been made a lot more complex than it's ever been in Windows, way too complex in my opinion. Some basics: - The user that logs on has no influence whatsoever on the security context of any of the services that run on the system. - The user may start or stop the services, that requires a specific right that's called Start/Stop Services. - If you have Power User rights or Administrator rights you may always do this (at least that's the case in Windows Server 2003) - The security context of the service is solely defined in the Service descriptor of the SqueezeCenter service, nowhere else! - If the service is set to Automatic start, you don't have to login, and you don't have to start the service to access SqueezeCenter, Windows will start it for you In order for SqueezeCenter to run properly, I guess it should always run as a service, because of the incredibly complex security model. If SqueezeCenter runs within the securityContext of the logged on user (hence not as a service) you get into the complex setting of changing or elevating security context, this is not necessary when running as a service. There is something around the OS security in Vista that I have never found out how works. As an Administrator user, you don't have access to many Kernel OS mechanisms, you need to escalate security context in order to do this. Sometimes this only works from Administrator user (Not a user with Administrator rights, but the Administrator user) Sometimes I have found this to work, sometimes not. I tried installing iTunes on Longhorn (which is the same code base as Vista) and it just didn't work at all if I ran the installation from a user with full admin rights. If I ran the installer from the Administrator user, it worked =:-O I have not had the opportunity to validate this, but I'm suggesting to check out a security right that's called "Act as part of operating system" that possibly may sort things out. I really don't know this because this is complex stuff, but this one may be a key... Vista is NOT easy on end users !! I have never tried Slimserver or SqueezeCenter on Vista, because now I've converted my home stuff to Suse Linux, and everything is smoking Regards Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux / SC7 -> SB3 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Krell KAV400xi -> Meadowlark Kestrel2 Everything is difficult before it's easy haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Speaker vibrations bad for Squeezebox?
Perhaps this is way beyound what you're asking :-D Just try different things and move the SB3. I have tried a bunch of many different things realizing that the solutions I didn't originally believe was workable could be the best I have had good experiences with granite plates (bought from the local stone shop) under a CD player, never tried that under the SB, but it doesn't cost much to try... Another thing that I tried that really really works is setting spiked speakers on top of a heavy granite plate (much heavier than the speakers) and then put the granite plate on top of some kind of rubber-like feet. This improved dynamics (in my setup) more than I would ever have imagined and it sounds more natural... I'm NOT kidding.

Re: [slim] Duet ETA?
Hi Mostly the same reasons as bhaagensen. I've been involved in the computer industry one way or another for over 30 years and I've never been impressed by anything M$ have ever done. The cavalier attitude to product quality which M$ have demonstrated time and time again simply does not meet my requirements for myself or my customers. I tolerate M$ OS and apps for business use only because I must exchange files with other companies that use M$ products. However, quality and reliability are everything when it comes to home applications - no way is rebooting ever an acceptable solution - WAF zero. I will never use a M$ based OS for any home control or entertainment application. M$ buying Logitech alone would be bad enough - I've always liked Logitech mice - good quality and reliable. I fear that would change once the bean counters at M$ apply the thumbscrews. As for a M$ branded Duet or SB3 - how long would it be before it would be necessary to use a M$ only server platform because of some perceived benefit or misguided marketing directive?
