Do you mean on the WebUI or the player display? On the player display
that it pretty much what you get already.

[slim] Any Way to Save Album View Preferences?

2008-03-12 Thread Fleury

Now that I've got most of the kinks out, I like to use the album view on
SC 7 home page (Firefox/XP). But it always defaults to linear listing by
album title. I reset it to large artwork, sort by artist/album, all is
copacetic. But next time I start SC, it's back to the title/tiny art
default. Any way to save my preferences?

Re: [slim] Occasional Garbled Static on Apple Lossless

2008-03-12 Thread Josh Coalson

apple does not license apple lossless, every non-apple device has to
rely on the reverse engineered decoder which has limitations.

reverse engineering the format is actually quite a lot of work, and
apple can break it any time by tweaking the format.  that's what you
buy into when you use a proprietary codec; it's only smooth if you
accept apple lock-in.

[slim] 2 New Questions on Duet Config

2008-03-12 Thread craigf

Yes, I searched, and came up with nada for either of these questions, so
I appreciate any and all suggestions:

1) Is there a way I can set the Duet Controller's wallpaper to an image
of my own, or am I limited to the default options?

2) We rip our music and sync (copy) it to our Mac for iTunes purposes,
but the master files (by artist/album/) are all on a PC.  So, using the
Embed Artwork script to copy the artwork into the album directories
won't work -- each time I sync our master collection to the Mac, it
overwrites anything different on the Mac's external drive, which will
blow away the extra art files.  So, is there a way to get the artwork
to show up on the Controller that doesn't involve altering the music
directory's contents?  Alternately, is there a way to have the
Controller not display the musical note icon (where the cover art goes
if it's available)? 

Much thanks in advance.  If we can get these two bits solved, I can
honestly say we'll be 100% satisfied with our Duet. :-)

[slim] Browsing artists on the controller

2008-03-12 Thread JHC

I know this has come up before but wanted to add a new vote and perhaps
a suggestion.

My lists of artists is almost 2000 long. The controller scrolls lists
nicely and the acceleration feature helps, but no amount of
acceleration really makes scrolling through 2000 items very nice.

I was wondering if there might not be a way to give us a way when we're
scrolling artists (or other really long lists), to jump forward to the
next letter in the alphabet...

For example, if I was browsing in artists and currently looking at
those that start with "A", it would be nice if one of the keys on the
remote would skip me ahead to artists that start with "B". This way,
getting from A to J would involve hitting a key 9 times (if my math is
right).

I don't know about others, but using the next / previous track buttons
would serve nicely here. In other words, their use would change
according to context... they'd help navigate a list when scrolling
through a list and perform their usual track functions otherwise.

I know this might disturb others (who might always want these to
perform track functions) so maybe this could be an option?

[slim] Thanks Slim Devices / Logitech!

2008-03-12 Thread JHC

I meant to write this as soon as I got my Duet (last Friday) but am only
just now pulling myself away from it long enough to write anything ;-).

A bit of background -- my only experiencing with streaming audio was
with a Netgear MP101 going to a J. River Media Center backend. I have a
library of just over 45,000 songs. The MP101 experience was
frustrating.. a lot of times it worked but rarely survived an entire
evening without having to reboot either the MP101 itself or Media
Center... not exactly a real plug and play solution.

Just before Christmas I was about to pull the trigger on a Sonos system
-- and just as I was getting ready, they decided to no longer sell
directly to Canada... and with no distributor near me it looked like I
was without options.

Ironically, someone on the Sonos forum pointed me in this direction,
mentioning the upcoming "Jive" release. So I found myself here, reading
everything I could.

The price looked right and unlike the Sonos, it looked like I'd have no
issues with Library size etc. 

Eventually, after installing SC7 and getting up to speed (and opening a
couple of QA issues) I jumped in for a pre-order.

So now that I have my Duet, I can tell you it exceeds all expectations.
The pictures don't do this thing justice -- it is much nice looking than
I've seen in pictures... overall, the build quality is excellent. The
experience is better than expected too. I find the web interface to be
a little slow and clunky (but very impressive given what one has to
work with in a browser) but the controller is an absolute joy to use...
speedy and responsive.

I've been tinkering and playing with this thing for four days now and
have had no glitches at all... it just works.

I love the community aspect -- the open source server, the active
forums and the responsive bug tracking system and QA people. I opened
three issues prior to the SC7 release and on each occasion, emails flew
back and forth until we found the root issues... excellent.

To top it all off, when the pre-order shipments got delayed, you guys
made a very classy move and shipped for free!

So thanks guys for an excellent product and a fantastic experience.
Since Friday, three other people in my office have placed orders... so
I hope this thing proves to be smash success for you guys.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Which web interface... SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork?

Here's what I would try:

  
- Power off the Receiver and leave it off.
- Make sure your SB3 is connected to SqueezeCenter and that it has a
  name.
- Using the IR remote, verify that the SB3 is able to play music from
  the server.
- Perform a factory reset on the Controller (hold the + key while
  cycling the power--I usually remove the battery--and keep it held
  down until the Logitech logo appears).
- Follow the steps to set up the Controller, making sure you're
  connecting to the right network (I know this sounds silly, but you
  can have an issue if you are using a default SSID.)
- Skip the Setup Receiver step
- If your server is listed on the Music Source screen, select it now.
  If it's not, then the Controller and server aren't on speaking terms. 
  Do not select SN... contact Technical Support and have them help you.
- At this point, you should have control of the SB3 using the
  Controller... if not, then even though the server was listed, there's
  something preventing the server and Controller from speaking.  At that
  point, I'm out of ideas and you'll really need to elevate this to our
  Technical Support team.
- Assuming you could control the SB3, power up the SBR.  Perform a
  factory reset by holding down the button for 6 seconds.
- On the Controller, go to *Settings > Advanced > Set up Receiver*
  and select your Receiver.  After it completes the setup, and the
  button is a dimly lit white color, you should have control of both
  the SB3 and the SBR.  If not, call Technical Support.
  

This certainly isn't a common or well-known issue, so I really
appreciate your patience and help in tracking it down.  Hopefully we
can get to the bottom of it and either correct the bug (if we find
there is one) or figure out what happened and make sure other users get
through this difficulty faster.

Re: [slim] What format is iTunes Plus?

2008-03-12 Thread snarlydwarf

m4a is plain unencrypted MPEG4 audio.

At a given bitrate, it is supposedly better than mp3.  Your ears may
vary.

But it is still lossy and not as 'portable' as mp3... (ie, your car
stereo/non-ipod-portable are unlikely to play it, nor will your DVD
player, etc.)

The advantage mp3 has is that it is so common to find a player, so if
it is lossy, I still want mp3.

the file format as "Apple AAC or Movie File" and the bit rate is
250kbps CBR.  Is this the same quality as ordinary MP3 250kbps, or

You know this has been a question of mine ever since SS's MySQL was
first installed as a service...

Over the weekend I installed the SC 7.0 release using the Windows
installer, then I ran the service enabler.  I decided to let it keep
running with the bundled MySQL rather than the other MySQL server that
I have running on the machine.  This is the first time in quite a while
that I've had the EXE version of SS/SC running.

What I'm seeing is that the bundled MySQL service is being started and
stopped whenever the SqueezeCenter service is started and stopped.  Is
that the expected behavior?  If so, the question I then have is what's
advantage?  MySQL as a service won't start or stop any faster than
MySQL run as a user program.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter 7 nasty Database/Browsing issues

2008-03-12 Thread alexho

I beg to differ: You cannot control this behaviour with Albumartist
Tags. At least, using TPE2 tags alone does not seem to affect it.

Using an "inverse compilation" tag, setting TCMP=0 has the desired
effect, but it involves a nonstandard ID3 tag. [read: ugly nonstandard
hack!]

And yes, the Compilation automatic is broken. If 9/10 tracks are
performed by "A", and 1/10 tracks are performed by "A and B", there is
no way to call it a "Compilation"...

Resolution: This should be user configurable. Even Apple and Microsoft
get this right, so a motivated Open Source porject should not be
worse...

Are you running the service under a certain account? If so, maybe that user 
doesn't have the privileges to install services. But it's nothing critical if 
MySQL can be run as a process. It just takes a bit longer to start SC.

Re: [slim] Difference in scanning Ubuntu v Vista?

2008-03-12 Thread JJZolx

Looks like something is causing the scanning on Vista to abort.  There
have been a lot of reports of problems with SqueezeCenter running on
Vista, usually firewall and/or directory permission issues.  See the
sticky topic at the top of this forum about running on Vista for some
fixes.

It's too bad that the scan status is reported like that... it makes it
appear to have completed when obviously it died.

Re: [slim] Fast-forward/rewind redesign

2008-03-12 Thread dickmc

I don't mind the current design that bad, but find it finicky to use. I
do like the audio feedback.

I suggest the following:

1. Display the elapsed time of a song (minutes:seconds) on the player
window in Slimserver. (I've always missed this.)

2. When the << or >> is clicked display the resulting speed and
direction such as: 2X>   8X< and show the resulting elapsed time as the
scan progresses.

3. When not scanning blank out the "2x>" type indicator.

Thanks

Re: [slim] SB3 stops randomly

2008-03-12 Thread conradbain

problem:  mid-song from my mostly-FLAC (some MP3) music library drops
out for 10 seconds.  stutters a bit.  then resumes playing.  doesn't
happen reliably (i.e. not at the same point in a given song.  not when
it's an all FLAC playlist.  etc.)  but does happen every third song
(give or take).  doesn't happen when listening to internet radio over
SqueezeNetwork

my set-up:  SC7.  firmware 86.  music library on wired NAS device. 
everything else is now wired too (see below).  SC7 is playing on a new
dual-core Vista machine.

first solution was to wire the player and SqueezeCenter.  did that. 
still stutters mid-song.

next was to set static IPs for player, SC and NAS.  still stutters.

finally, try turning off McAffee.  still stutters.

conclusions i've reached (maybe wrong, but based on my limited
experience) - it's not a wireless issue since i'm now fully wired. 
it's not the firewall.  it's not the library itself.  what is it!?

this wasn't an issue when my set-up was wireless with 6.5.4 on my old
XP machine.  got a new computer and, well, here we are.  i'm at a loss.
thoughts / help is appreciated!

[slim] Difference in scanning Ubuntu v Vista?

2008-03-12 Thread kesey

When I do a Squeezecenter 7.01 Scan (Clear Library and Rescan
Everything) in Ubuntu, the following Scans are done:
Directory Scan (6825 of 6825)00:05:53
Playlist Scan (514 of 514)00:01:45
Merge Various Artists (521 of 521) 00:00:27
Artwork Scan (521 of 521) 00:01:53
Database Optimize: Complete 00:00:07 TOTAL 10:05

In Vista 32 Ultimate the following Scans are done:
Directory Scan (6686 of 6686)00:06:27
Playlist Scan (506 of 506)00:01:50
Merge Various Artists (27 of 520) 00:00:27 TOTAL 06:49:13

The Problem: In Ubuntu, after a scan on an Album Browse, I see Album
Art. In Vista (and XP) I see no Album Art, unless I play an Album and
then the Album Cover for the Album played shows.

Can someone tell me how to get Squeezecenter to perform the Album
Artwork scan on Vista/XP please?

Note: I'm as yet baffled as to the reason for the differences in
Directory sizes 
regards and TIA,

I think there have been reports of slowness from people running SC7 on
non-dedicated machines.  The shift of processing burden from server to web
browser is not as important if they are running on the same machine.  One
way to mitigate this is to use the classic skin instead of the new
browser-buster default.  Also using the most modern browser you can that has
a fast javascript engine will help.  Opera and FF3 (beta 4 out today) would
be good candidates.

I too, am involved with company email systems.  Most spam filters allow
only 5-10% of the email through.  There is an "arms race" going on
between ISPs and Spam generators.  Email servers can drop mail for a
host of non Spam reasons.  Combined, it's amazing how much email
actually makes it through.

The bottom line is that, as bobkoure stated, email is not a reliable
method of communication.  Getting mad because someone didn't respond to
email is analogous to getting mad at someone because they didn't answer
your knock when they were on vacation in Bermuda.

If it's important and email isn't working, call.

Re: [slim] iTunes artwork - how to make it all available in SlimServer/SqueezeCenter in Mac OS X

2008-03-12 Thread Sune

Hi there, 

All other functionality in CoverScout is limited (this is a demo). 

With respect to new albums, I guess you have to run the whole process
again. But it should be faster second time, since it'll probably only
do the copying for albums where the only attached artwork is the one
downloaded from iTunes Music Store...

If you wish to use it for chasing missing album art, you can try using
the demo (Select: show songs with missing cover art in one of the
on-screen drop-down menus)...and register if you like it and wish to do
it for your whole music collection. 

There are other apps that can add album artwork as well...used
something called "MPFreaker" a while back. It has similar funtionality
to CoverScout in this respect. Also shareware. There's also some
freeware that can be used for this - e.g. Clutter or some "Add Album
Artwork" Dashboard widgets. But they're all more manual than MPFreaker
/ CoverScout.

I think the problem here is that "clearly not compilations" varies
according to the viewer. Let's turn it round - what makes it a
compilation? Does every track have to be by a different artist? What
about when there are 10 tracks with 2 tracks by the same artist?
Compilation? What about 3 tracks? 4, 5... where's the breakpoint? SC
doesn't force that decision - it says it's a compilation if all the
tracks aren't by the same artist and then allows you to override this
by using  ALBUMARTIST or COMPILATION.

Re: [slim] Adding support for SHN files

2008-03-12 Thread maggior

Hi kdf -

I changed those exact things and it didn't work.  I don't know how it
could be due to the quirkyness of the format since I've done nothing
with the shorten binary and am using the same .shn file to test.  

I wonder if there is a temporary file that is created as part of the
process that and the write fails because the squeezecenter user doesn't
have permission to write to the location.  Once significant difference
between slimserver and squeezecenter is the fact that a different user
account is used.

Reading the bug report, I see it was quite deliberate to remove it.  

Thanks,
Rich

Thks for taking time to think about it without resorting to cynical
personal attacks. However, I'll have to ask you to review your facts.
It turns out that, in Switzerland, employer tops up by 100% whatever
amount emplyee have to contribute, and then some more.

http://www.bioalps.org/Bioalps/FHomePageBioalps.aspx?tokenPage=h-ciecAdyG10SYrFQTu01AdheI4rxKjQhEPfTrvysX0%29%29

My point on whole this excercise is that there are many areas that can
influence a price, and that we, unless deailing with it, may not be
avare of them and tend to ignore them. In my post, I merely suggested
that some other aspects are taken into consideration.

Having said that, I do believe that the main reaason why companies
charge what they do in certain market is because they can (or in case
of US, because they have to if they want to be there).

thks,

K

Jim, if it's a difficult problem to solve (and I believe it is having

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter 7 nasty Database/Browsing issues

2008-03-12 Thread alexho

A lot of Albums that are clearly not compilations are flagged as such.
So, while it sounds like a smart feature, the way it works now it is
more of a defect :)

Speaking of workarounds - I prefer the "Classic" skin.
But it also suffers when displaying Compilations. Instead of just
indicating "Album AA" by "Various Artists" all of the artists are
listed. When scrolling through the cover view, it looks pretty bizarre
to have 20+ lines of artists listed. Is there a way to get rid of this
and just display "Various Artists" instead???

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter 7 nasty Database/Browsing issues

2008-03-12 Thread alexho

Actually the problem is the braindead automatic Compilation detection in
SqueezeServer. (They should add a switch to disable it!!!)

If you have an album by Artist A, and just one track is played by guest
artist B, the album is listed/sorted as compilation.

Thanks to your links I've found that you can control this by adding the
(nonstandard) TCP or TCMP MP3 compilation field and set it to false,
thereby telling SqueezeBox that this is really NOT a compilation.

This is an ugly hack, but it should work.

If you want SHN back to exactly what was always in SS/SC, you can have
it as it was by reversing:

This is just a change to convert.conf, types.conf and adding the
Formats/Shorten.pm module (which you've already done).  Any remaining

is that's causing the stream write failure.

[slim] 'Jump back' functionality

2008-03-12 Thread slimkid

hi,

Is there any thought given towards implementing something like 'Jump
back' on TV. Functionality that would enable to listen to certain track
(within a current playlist), wonder somewhere else, pick up and start
playing some other track, change your mind and jump back to the track
that was playing earlier (ideally regenerating a playlist that was
current at the time). Just like TV remote remembers prior chanell and
lets you get back to it.

I see it being convenient for listening to a locl music, but crucial
when it comes to Internet radio. Quite often, while listening to a
certain station, I'd start looking to something else, go quite a
distance browsing through a radio hierarcy, try to play some other
station, just to realize it isn't working. At that moment, I'm stuck
with the silence and no way to get back to what I listened before
(unless it's in Favorites)

thks,

K

Why not use shnconv to convert your SHN files to flac?

find / -name \*.shn | shnconv -o flac

The great thing about lossless formats is that conversion is also lossless.

Right, there are good ways to abuse that for fun and profit (see
below), but I believe that sort of general "undefined behavior" in this
case is 100% correct.  The user (or tagger) has provided SC with
conflicting data: it is therefore up to SC to decide which to follow,
and it is free to just make it up.  Given your dataset above, what
would be the correct artist sort?  Or would that make for two artists
(which would break a bunch of people...)

As for ways to abuse this for fun and profit:

Artist="Frank Sinatra"  ArtistSort="Sinatra, Frank"
Artist="Antontio Carlos Jobim" ArtistSort="Jobim, Antonio Carlos"
Artist="Frank Sinatra;Antonio Carlos Jobim"  -noartistsort-

With a bit of magic you're past the unpredictable nature of 1-to-1
matches on artist/artistsort.  The last set will be properly credited
to both artists (no need to make a fake artist 'Sinatra & Jobim'
artist) and sorted correctly.

I think you might be having a problem common with new Duet owners and
was referenced in another forums posting that I can't find right now.

When selecting "Music Source" during initial set up, you're given a
choice of selecting your local PC running SqueezeCenter or
SqueezeNetwork. Depending on your choice, you may not be able to see
all of your players on the Duet Controller:

- If you choose SqueezeCenter you can see your SqueezeCenter-connected
players. But you won't see your SqueezeNetwork-connected players.
- If you choose SqueezeNetwork you can see your
SqueezeNetwork-connected players. But (as you can guess) you won't be
able to see your SqueezeCenter-connected players.

That's currently the way it works. I think we didn't make this
characteristic as clear to users as we could have. It also seems to be
tripping up more people than anyone here at Logitech expected.

For now, you'll need to choose your music source to see a specific
group of players. To switch the Duet Controller between SqueezeCenter
and SqueezeNetwork, go to Settings->Music Source and pick your source.

Alternatively, you can have all of your players on SqueezeCenter, since
all of the music services (Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.) are now available
there. You don't have to switch between SqueezeCenter and
SqueezeNetwork for those features anymore.

The team will need to review this and figure out how to resolve this. I
would think that the user-desired solution would be "have all of my
players visible all of the time".

Please reply and let me know if my guess is correct.

Mickey

[slim] Controller Wireless Question

2008-03-12 Thread dougwise

My parents are looking to outfit their new house in Mexico with a
multi-room music system.  The house has concrete walls and a concrete
floor between the levels which will affect the wireless signal.

Were does the controller pick up the wireless signal from; the Linksys
Router or from the Receiver that will be in each room?  If it is from
the Receiver, then we should be OK because my parents will be using it
in the room with the controller.  If it is from the router which will
be in a different room, then we may have a problem.

It was deliberate, more or less for the very reasons you are seeing.  SHN
is a broken format.  The only known way to get duration, size and bitrate
data (required for SB to play tracks) is to extract to WAV and redirect to
/dev/null (a problem on windows), then it's extracted to WAV again for
playback.  The header is also different depending on versions.  Some of
the things that never worked right (and consequently had no official
support) were removed for SC7 (note several skins which are no longer with
us).  This was one of them.

In fact, the problems is:

If you have a track with

and another track, on another album with
Artist="Foo" ArtistSort="Bar"

the outcome on SqueezeCenter seems to be random.

All the albums and tracks belonging to that artist are either sorted

SuperQ: is mysqld already running before you start SC? Might save a few more 
seconds. And restarts will very likely grab most of it out of the disk cache.

hmmm...the tags are at track level - IME you shouldn't have any tags
with "Various Artists" in them...AFAIK that's not how SC/SS works.
I've just checked my several hundred VA albums - not a "Various

I would have to believe it was inadvertent.  This team does not make it a
habit of breaking compatibility, at least in my experience.  A quick search
of bugzilla yielded zero results.  I would file a bug if I were you.

Do you have a large library?

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter 7 nasty Database/Browsing issues

2008-03-12 Thread alexho

done and no change.

The problem seems to be the Contributor record:
blob="Laurie Anderson" namesort="VARIOUS ARTISTS" namesearch="LAURIE
ANDERSON"

Theory:
I have tagged all my "Various Artists" Albums with TPE2 and TSOP
"Various Artists".
There is one such an Album with a single track "Laurie Anderson".

I guess there is a bug in SqueezeServers Logic that causes to create a
broken Contributor record - and prevents the creation of a correct
Contributor record, IMHO it should read 

blob="Laurie Anderson" namesort="LAURIE ANDERSON" namesearch="LAURIE
ANDERSON"

That module is definitely gone/missing from 7.0.  You could try just adding
the module as-is from 6.5, you can download it here:

Are you running *Squeeze*Center version 7 and not running SlimServer

OK, so I've now eliminated the errors from the server log by copying the
Shorten.pm file from a slimserver installation.  However, I still get
the error on the console about failing to write the decompressed
stream.

Any ideas?  I wonder why they ripped support for SHN out of

[slim] "ReplayGain" on Internet Radio?

2008-03-12 Thread strindberg

I use ReplayGain on my music library, which works very well, especially
with the SC "smart gain" setting.

However, as I switch between files in my library, Internet radio and
podcasts, the two latter are, naturally, not affected by the gain
setting. This is a problem, b/c the Internet radio and podcasts are
much louder, and I have to constantly adjust the volume.

Does anyone know of a way to, say, lower all internet radio by 8dB or
similar?

It's still much more than I'd expect (about the double I see on my machine). 
Are you using 3rd party plugins? iTunes or MIS integration? Do you see error 
messages in server.log?

Hi Mike, 

Looks like 90 seconds with barebones background process (25).
Not as long as one perceives when there is a new song to play huh?

I'm good with it.

I would paste in the entries you added.  Also, I was looking to see what
logging you could enable to see what's going on -- the only one that seemed
like it might be relevant is "formats.audio".
