Re: [slim] ALAC and FLAC

On the Audiophile forum there are a group of users who insist that server decoder Flac sounds better than SB decoded Flac. Why is it necessary to have ALAC decoder in the SB ? The decoders required in the SB are the formats that are streamed (e.g. MP3, WMA, Ogg-Vorbis and possibly AACplus) so that a PC is not necessary. To provide efficient bandwidth use - a lossless compress format is needed - hence Flac as Alac and WMA lossles are proprietary. Makes perfect sense. The only reason I suggested ALAC in the SB was because of the alac.exe issue (30 seconds to skip between tracks), but with the new alac.exe the issue is fixed and all is well! If transcoding works well enough it's probably not an issue (I don't have any ALAC files myself). Thing is that if I advise a friend with a large collection of CD's to go digital it's nice to be able to tell him to just use XXX format and have it play on his iPod as well as his slimsystem.

[slim] at wits end - ready to return
macbook pro duet squeezecenter 7 all wireless everything works fine. everything connects, music plays, everyone is happy However I take this macbook laptop to work and I want it to make the duet work with a windows XP laptop that is always home. Downloaded and installed squeezecenter 7 on the XP laptop. Everything else is the same. Same wireless hub, duet etc. Power down macbook, take it out of the picture. Duet controller goes a bit wierd but lets leave that for now. Turn on the PC, SC appears to run fine, no errors reported. However it cannot see player and the duet controller cannot see it. Even if I put its IP address into the duet controller as the music source ip it can not see it. Tried rebooting pc numbers of times, refreshing SC pages etc. Restarted both player and duet controller. Played around with various combinations of restarting etc. PC can never see player and duet controller can never see the PC However and this is the confusing part, if I reset the player and controller and select squeezenetwork for the player. Squeeze network works fine, and if I then switch off the controller by holding down the home button the PC SEES THE player. It can connect, asks me if I want to switch from squeezenetwork I can select music from the PC, play it everything works EXCEPT the duet controller is out of the game. No matter what I do it will not find the player or the PC, even if I put in the PC's ip address for the music source. If I turn the PC off the duet controller can see the payer again. what on earth is going on? If I can connect and play music from the PC I presume that all the wirewall settings (which is completely off by the way), hub settings, pc settings are ok. At any time if I turn my macbook back on the whole duet system works fine (but picks up the macbook not the PC) so I presume the duet hardware is ok. any suggestions on how to fix it or is it liable to be very complicated and so time consuming that I should just give up now and return the thing? -- davec67 davec67's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16518 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45772 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You cause your own reputation harm by not being completely transparent. And (a tad off topic) I agree with Jim on this last thing he said about openness... The number one reason I chose Slim over Sonos (And I was about 90% convinced I would eventually buy a sonos) was not price- (although that helped), it was the promise with the openess of the platform. These guys made a rediculously smart decision- because this guaruntees that this product will maintain momentum. I'm just too sick of going the closed route to have the manufacturer lose interest and cut a product short. I have a $250 Sansa Connect that will be losing it's wireless features next month, because Yahoo Music Unlimited is closing. If it were open, somebody with a little knowledge could fix it to at least stream with a UPNP server or Shoutcast. But since it's not open, it was a pointless investment and thanks to Slim- I vow never to go this pointless and dangerous route again. -- FredFredrickson FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45734 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection
Ok - Just an update to my last post. I just held down the button on the receiver and tried to reinitiate a connection via wireless. I was watching the config screen on my router showing DHCP leases, while standing and simultaneously watching the controller. As soon as it was done, I noted that in the DHCP list, the reciever had obtained a legitimate DHCP address: 192.168.1.135 and at the SAME time on the controller it shows that it got 169.254.140.78.. Weird. I then proceeded to try to connect to my squeezecenter and it worked! I unplugged my wired connection to do this, so Im not sure if something is wrong in my network, but I have 3 other devices which are getting IPs over wired DHCP just fine. Nevertheless, the report of the local IP the controller gave me was wrong, since it really did get a valid IP. -- jason3fc jason3fc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection
Trying the latest (2166) build just mentioned has made things much worse for me. I now can isolate this down to some problem with my receiver. I can connect to my wireless network with my controller just fine, and I can even find and control the SB1 in the bedroom fine every time. However the receiver is continually not getting an IP from dhcp every time I try to hold down the button to initiate a new connection. It flashes red, and then on the controller it does its thing when I tell it to set up, but every time it ends up getting a local 169.254 address. This happens with it connected via wired or wireless. Then when I try to find a music source, of course it cant find one, since it has no connection, and then the "Choose Player" disappears from the controller menu, and in order to get it to return I have to restart the controller. I was by some fluke able to get the receiver connected once tonight, by doing the procedure above and then going to squeezecenter and the receiver showed up, and would even let me control it, even though it wasn't working via the controller. Once I queued something up for it to play via squeezecenter it then proceeded to show up on the controller and I could see it. But as soon as I switched to my bedroom SB1 and switched back to the receiver, sure enough it was gone again, and I couldn't control it or hear it from anywhere. I was seriously considering putting two of these in the attic for sound into bathrooms, but I'm second guessing this now as it seems it doesn't reliably keep a connection. This is the second or third time I have had a problem like this since I got it a few weeks back, previously I eventually got it connected again without explanation and it worked for several days straight (albeit with it dropping from the menu from time to time - as my original post stated, but I could always bring it back by rebooting the controller) now I'm back to this same situation with the receiver not getting an ip again. Besides disabling DHCP on the router as described in the instructions is there a way to force it to use a static IP? I want to leave DHCP turned on for other stuff, but thinking maybe I can force the receiver into a static ip if possible. -- jason3fc jason3fc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

We do our best to test as mnay configurations as possible, and certainly the most common ones, but even that won't predict all possible problems. We are trying to gather as much information as possible, and are actively working on the problem. As Richard said, we've not been able to reproduce some of these problems in our facilities making it harder to find and fix. We have been making progress and will keep at it. Please continue to provide feedback as to what works and what doesn't so we can try to address the problem. There's a new firmware build available and we'd appreciate it if you could test it out.

Let me ask you this: did you test the Duet--a commercially available version--prior to posting your cnet review? Now let me answer it for you: you did not. You purport to be fair, but you did not disclose that fact in your review. Did you expect that the community would welcome you with open arms? They feel like a product that they've built was unjustly portrayed; I agree with them. Your "review" was, simply put, an attempt to sow FUD. Again, you are entitled to your opinion. Others are within their rights to question it. If there is a personal attack--and, no, we don't consider Robin's response to you to have crossed that line--we will deal with it as per our forum guidelines. You may act as aggrieved as you wish. Petulance is hardly an endearing trait, however, and will likely make your time and efforts here far less productive. If you really want to be perceived as fair, amend your review on c|net and disclose both your prior association with Sonos as a forum admin, as well as the fact that you did not actually use a Squeezebox Duet prior to posting (using a borrowed beta version doesn't count). I think that would go a long way in creating a positive reputation here on our forums. Personally, I'm not interested in the whole Duet vs. Sonos debate. We build different products for different kinds of users. Sonos went about solving the problem of getting music from PC to stereo by building a private, completely controlled island; this gives them an advantage in ease of installation and multi-room sync of specific sources of music (but not all sources). We built a "freeport" where we can *integrate* fully into a home network environment and we opened our source code to the public so they can extend functionality, add features, and build the solution they are most interested in; our advantage then is openess, lower total ownership costs, and flexibility. Which one is most suitable for any given person is a question best answered by that individual. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45734 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

That's true of NZ as well - they operate via a distributor and the listed price of $699 from Logitech is just the RRP - retailers would presumably arrive at their own price, when they can get the product. (The buy price from the distributor allows a good deal of room for them to manoeuvre if they want to).

You posted an "authoritative" review, under the name ro53ben on c/net without ever having used the commercially available version of Duet. In fairness, you claim to have used one on loan from a "friend". In my opinion, you are far from the fair-and-balanced perspective you wish to portray.

Re: [slim] How to get Artwork?
I tried the various javascript solutions posted here for getting ITunes artwork to show on the controller but they seem to be PC only and I'm on a Mac. At the beginning of this thread was a suggestion to try the 'embed artwork' script at Doug's Scripts. It took about 5 minutes to download and install and just another minute to test on a single CD. It's works really well. I told it to do the rest of my cd's (a little over 400) and went to work. When I got home all of the album covers displayed properly on my controller. It looks like when I RIP additional CD's I just have to select them and run the script on just the new ones.

Re: [slim] When will the Duet be available for purchase in Australia
Just managed to get onto someone else in Logitech. They tell me that the Duet will not be available in Australia until late May or possibly early June. The explanation was time taken to meet Australian safety standards testing requirements. Another interesting fact I learned was that Logitech does not actually trade in Australia, so the $599 price for the Duet on the Logitech site is purely indicative as you cannot purchase products directly from Logitech over here. -- smc2911 http://www.last.fm/user/smc2911/ smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45677 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SC 7.0.1 - 404 Not Found: settings/plugins/SqueezeScrobbler/settings/basic.html
I can make 404 happen at will without any player connected - so the problem is player independent and resetting the SB will not cure the problem. However, it is possible that your browser is caching the 404 response and this cached response may be related to the player (some player specific info is in the URL). Resetting the SB may have caused a new IP to be assigned to SB or invalidated some other cached info by virtue of the reset. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45676 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

To legally import good from the US, you pay the cost price in the US, then you add on the local sales tax in the US, then you add on shipping to the UK. Total that. Then you add on import duty as a percentage of that total - I believe it was 10% last time I looked. Note that total. Then you add on VAT @ 17.5% Having done this to the retail price of a Sonos in California, adding on 8% sales tax, then shipping, then duty, then VAT...and converted to GBP, I found a price not massively different to the UK retail price. Last time I calculated, the break even was somewhere between 1.6-1.7$ to the £. Currently the £ is stronger, so the import price is cheaper, I think it was about £50 on a Sonos bundle. Personally, I think the £50 fully justifies the UK retailer handling and local warranty. Marketing of the product would cost more here too. This is why I felt the article totally inaccurate, it's a topic that's been well covered in many places. -- jaffacake jaffacake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3206 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45734 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SC 7.0.1 - 404 Not Found: settings/plugins/SqueezeScrobbler/settings/basic.html
The cause of the 404 message is the fact the Plugins install.xml files will be read by SC no matter where they are in the server/Plugins or server/Slim/Plugin directory and subdirectories. However if the code of the Plugin is not in the correct place - when SC looks for the Settings page (as defined in install.xml) it cannot be found. An uninstall does not remove user installed plugins. If the user uninstalls SC and doesn't delete the Plugins and associated directories left behind after uninstallation, the next re-install of SC will result in the same 404 problem. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45676 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The plugins still loaded into SC7, but any calls by the server to the HTML settings page within each plugin made the server say "Huh? What are these 'Plugins' of which you speak?" [/highly eneducated guess] I'm just saying that I had the exact same problem/symptoms (no plugins working, 404 error on settings pages in SC7), and the Factory Reset absolutely fixed it.

You can also use the plugin "The Synchronizer" which has options to a: synchronize all players to a given master, or b: create predefined sets of players which are synchronized together (sync sets) and select them easily. Currently, it doesn't support the Squeezebox Controller, so you'd have to use either a Squeezebox with a display, or the web interface, but hopefully I'll get some time "real soon now" to remedy that problem.

He has all his music in FLAC, me in ALAC as I own an iPod. I personally think ALAC is excellent as, not only is it lossless, it's very easy to move to another format in the future if required. It also supported embedded art first, which was a killer feature for me at the time. If I need to convert to something else, a couple of clicks in iTunes and I can convert my entire library to AIFF and onwards to FLAC etc. Going the other way FROM FLAC isn't so easy at all.

It was in fact a bug in the SB1, where the decoder would not output a valid s/pdif signal for the first couple MP3 frames of a stream. We later added a workaround for it, where we would send a few frames of silence before sending the track. This affected the initial start of playback (eg jumping to a new track) but not track transitions. SB2/SB3/TP/SBR don't have any such issues - the only time the s/pdif is ever interrupted is when changing sample rates, where it's necessary. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
This is pretty interesting because when I first got my Squeezebox1 I tried digital output via coax and optical into my Onkyo tx800 and experienced a truncation of the first 1/2 second of audio at the start of every new track. If the song began with a drumbeat, I'd only hear the second half of the beat. I switched to analog output and all was fine. When I received my duet I tried digital output again with the SBR and still have the same issue. I don't get a click, like you, but maybe that's just the different manner in which my Onkyo's DAC has trouble locking at the start of a signal. Unfortunately the only equipment I own with digital outs are my SBs and the only DAC I own which converts external signals is the Onkyo so I can't compare with other devices.

We are targetting for release 7.1 a customizable home menu on the controller, so if you want to remove that option from the controller you will be able to. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45746 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Turning Duet receiver off
Very little! There are a few reasons it's useful (switches off the output lines which can help some amps auto-swtich) but in general it's there on the SBR and all the other SB players because people complain if there isn't an off switch ;-) -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45746 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Turning Duet receiver off
There's an option on the controller to turn the receiver off. Why would you want to do this, what does it save? -- consciouspnm Duet/SB3 -> Linn Kinos -> Linn 5Ch Amp -> Linn Speakers consciouspnm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45746 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to avoid the 'click' when a track starts
There is a further test you could do to rule out the Squeezebox completely: Burn your test track to an audio CD, and try playing it on a regular CD player via s/pdif into the same processor. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox 3 + Apple Time Capsule + Wireless = no love?

The answer I received a few days ago was: "The fix I provided works with SB, TR and SBR, but needs to be verified by our QA team first and if they approve it, it is planned to include new firmware into the next bug fix release which would be 7.0.1. And to answer your next question, no, I have no information about when 7.0.1 will be released. Sorry."

This is definitely a problem in your receiver/processor. It should never lose lock just because the signal is all-zeroes. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45605 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] I'm so excited!
-I believe SlimD/LT products have contributed greatly towards the coming-of-age of this exciting trend.- They certainly have. I mean, the rich has always had access to neat toys- so Sonos hasn't done much to make the world a better place. Not that the sonos wasn't good- but that it was priced higher than the value it provided- in an effort only to be purchased by people who literally had too much money to spend in a lifetime. Slim Devices makes this- and now it will become mainstream! The industry will not beable to ignore that this is the future- and where the money is. -- FredFredrickson FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45697 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
