Re: [slim] Spare cradle?
It'd be useful to have confirmation of availability of both the individual products (Receiver and Controller) and also the batteries (i.e. parts). I am concerned by the fact that it is not possible to buy a new battery in Europe or the States for the Receiver or the much longer-established Harmony 1000 remote (both devices share the same battery).

Re: [slim] Playing cd's
autodiskmount does exist on my Mac but the manual for it says that it is deprecated and only present for backward compatibility. There are mount and umount commands. Issuing the mount command lists the mounted volumes and the line relevant to the CD is /dev/disk1 on /Volumes/The Visit (cddafs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners) I tried using umount to unmount the CD, but I evidently did not have the correct syntax. I am now pretty certain that this remounting is the issue. I did the following. Insert disk and unmount it. From the Terminal, type cdda2wav dev=IODVDServices -verbose-level=toc -N -g -J This produces sensible output. Then did the same thing again.

[slim] SqueezeCenter slow; drops out; Time to return my duet?
I recently installed Squeezecenter 7.0 (to go with my new duet). Previously I had been running slimserver 6.5.4 with my Squeezebox and the whole system worked perfectly w/ no issues and minimal fuss. Immediately after installation, I noticed that the response time for Squeezecenter was very slow; Squeezecenter froze and hung up; songs cut in and out; the duet seemed to lose its connection; the duet would report that the player couldn't find the squeezecenter. (This happened with both my new receiver and my old squeezebox.) I uninstalled Squeezecenter, reinstalled 6.5.4 and my old Squeezebox worked once again like a charm. I have read through a number of posts involving folks with similar issues (I am running slimserver on windows xp, wired ethernet connection, relatively new belkin router). What I took from the posts is that there doesn't appear to be any clear fix. The various suggestions are either beyond my modest computer abilities or look like they'll take too much time. I'm nearing the end of the 30-day return period for the duet and I have concluded that I will just have to send the duet back. This is disappointing because I am a huge fan of the squeezebox and was looking forward to being able to use (and my wife using) the small controller. Am I missing something?

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter slow; drops out; Time to return my duet?
Try the latest 7.01 instead of 7.0 It's a little contradictory that Logitech claims that 7.0 is the safe and stable and supported option. The 7.0.1 wil in most cases be better, and i think they are very close to a final release of 7.01 . If this wont work send it back and try again when things looks more stable :-) I've only had my duet this weekend and it works really good :-) On the other hand i've been on 7.01 for far longer with my SB3 without problems. Maybe your main problem is getting 7.0 to work, if you send the duet back try the latest 7.1 or 7.01 from time to time to see if a stable and working version apears (by that i mean a version that works for you). I've remember 7.01 to be a little messy on my XP i had to straighten out some firewall issues before it was OK (getting rid of Norton and install ESET).

Re: [slim] Playing cd's
Newbuyer, I can't think of a reason why cdda2wav won't work on your system but it may need some tests to find the correct settings. First - you need to be able to reproduce the fault at will. Then it can be determined what settings work. I found that if I started cdda2wav ripping a track midway through CD, interrupted it and started cdda2wav again this time ripping an earlier track - usually the CDROM went crazy. It would be interested to see if your system does the same. Try the following assuming you have done cdda2wav -scanbus and found the triplet for your drive. 1. Eject CD and re-insert CD. This resets internal CDROM firmware. Make sure it is a CD without any data track and you acknowledge windows prompt about what to do with CD - choose no action. 2. Issue the following command (with your tripplet and not 0,0,0 cdda2wav -S 4 --output-format raw -gui output-endianess=little -device 0,0,0 -track 6 3. CTRL/C when about 20% has been reached. 4.

I don't like using SN as an alarm clock - I prefer to wake up to music in my local lbrary. It would be nice if a SB could be configured to automatically switch to SN when the local server goes down, and use the internet time to send a WOL packet locally a minute or so before the alarm time is met. eg. provide a menu SqueezeCenter Sleep that would connect to SqueezeNetwork, passing the time that the SqueezeCenter server should be reconnected to, and then send the local server to sleep.

[slim] Linux help... using rsync
So - this isn't SB related, but wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to efficiently backup my music drive? My music is on a Windows (2k) file server, but I recently bought a cheap NAS with a Linux OS. I'd like to use rsync to check for changes on the Windows file system, and then make any changes as required on the NAS. (Until now I've been using MS Synctoy, but Synctoy doesn't delete folders that have moved or been renamed - and you end up with loads of empty folders in the backup destination). Anyway - rsync looks good, but I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux. I guess that the Linux OS can't read the Windows filesystem at the moment, and I'm expecting to have to mount the music drive within Linux.

[slim] Attention D-Link Users! (performance)
A few weeks ago I purchased a Dlink DIR-655 router to upgrade my home network to wireless-N. Around the same time I began to configure a few machines in my house to use SoftSqueeze and had upgraded SqueezeCenter to version 7. I also began using WPA2 for security. Performance was terrible. Music would cut out, the web interface was terribly sluggish and I was nearing my wits end trying to make it run right. However there was a catch - for some reason I had no problems streaming through my SSH tunnel across the internet. SoftSqueeze ran great at work and the web interface was snappy, it was just unusable at home over the wireless LAN. I had changed a good number of variables so troubleshooting was no fun. I tried changing SqueezeCenter to the text only interface, turning off security, etc. After fiddling with multiple router settings I have finally narrowed it down to the WISH QoS features in the router. There are features that are designed to prioritize wireless internet traffic and they are turned on by default. As soon as I disabled these features performance skyrocketed! There are no more delays and I can stream to 3 separate SoftSqueeze clients as well as over my SSH tunnel with no delay! After reading about the WISH feature some more I think I can enable it again with some SqueezeCenter specific ports and make it work, but for now I am leaving it off. I don't really think QoS is responsible but I am leaving it off anyway as I don't have any need for it. I just wanted to share this as I assume there are plenty of folks with D-Link routers with these features and it was no fun troubleshooting. I don't know if my situation is unique based on my system architecture/encryption/etc. but hopefully it can help someone out there suffering. ;) -- dmross dmross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46885 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No, I hadn't downgraded back to 6.5.3. Since the time that my problems started coincided so nicely with the upgrade to SC7 I just assumed that upgrade had to be the related to my problems.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter slow; drops out; Time to return my duet?
Rickoleum -- I would agree with Mnyb on all of his points. 7.01 has a bunch of changes that should help general wireless connectivity issues with the Duet and some wireless routers and access points. Please try installing the latest nightly and see if it helps. Make sure the firmware on the Squeezebox Controller is updated. BTW, could you describe your situation further? Which Belkin router are you using? What country/wireless channel are you on? Does your connectivity situation become more stable the closer your Squeezebox Controller gets to the access point? Are you in an area with lots of other wireless networks? If 7.01 does help, this info would be interesting. If 7.01 does not help, then please contact technical support to help resolve this issue.

[slim] Hybrid vs Wireless setups
I have a choice to make, and that is whether to use a hybrid setup (my original intent) or a pure wireless setup. My house is wired with ethernet jacks available in various places. I also have a D-Link (g) wireless router. My computer is hard-wired to the router, so music will be passed via ethernet to the router, and then on to the SD apparatus. We have a couple of cordless phones (2.4g and 900m), and, of course, a microwave. Signal strength on the wireless is high in most locations in the house (full bars). I live in the country; there are no other wireless devices remotely in range, and hence I haven't even bothered to set security on the wireless. As there are no other choices, my high speed internet connection is via a line-of-sight microwave service (from an antenna on my roof, to an antenna a few miles away on top of a ski hill). It's not as fast as I'd like, but fast enough for most music services, and I could upgrade speed if I wanted to. But that all has nothing to do with my setup decision. So, the question is, if I can do either, am I better off going all-wireless, or a hybrid setup? I had thought the latter, but am now not so sure.

Re: [slim] Poor streaming performance
So I found a way to connect a Cat-5 cable to the SB. So it's not really an issue anymore. It was Wild West Radio specifically that was having trouble with yesterday. But it tended to happen on just about any stream I was listening to, even low quality talk radio (~20kbps). If it becomes a problem again, I'll give the buffer time option a try.

[slim] Shortcut loops - No means to disable scanning in V7?
My music folders have lots of shortcuts, created for manual use. These have triggered CPU-bound scanning loops when I was using V6 on my SB3, but I managed to disable the scanning with V6. I can't remember exactly what I did to achieve that; I may have just renamed the scanner exe. I recently upgraded to V7 and hoped this problem was solved, but now it seems to be the main exe that's looping. There still seems to be no ability to disable scanning. There is an option to scan playlists only, but that option doesn't stick for some reason. I just want to be able to follow the Music Folder menu entry in my SB to my music folders; to browse through folder shortcuts, and select what I want to play. That's all I require. No indexing and cataloguing or other automation needed. If SqueezeCenter detects changes since I last browsed (which seems to be daily), it will go into a CPU-bound loop with no HDD activity. I have to terminate SC in Windows Task Manager, and then restart SC. Then I can browse with no problem until SC next decides it needs to scan. I'm surprised that the server software has reach V7 without some means to disable this troublesome scanning. I don't require it to be smart enough to avoid shortcut loops, though that would be very useful; I just want an option to turn the scanning off, allowing me to browse my music folders in my Squeezebox and play the music. Is there some hack of a configuration file, or a command line option that I can use to achieve this?

[slim] SSH Connection Trouble..
I'm sure this is a common problem with a quick answer, but I've been looking and cannot find it.. sorry if this gets posted all the time. I have openSSH configured on my home machine through Cygwin. I can access it using it remotely Putty, and UltraVNC connects fine. I just installed squeeze center on the home machine, and installed SoftSqueeze on my laptop. I have access to my neighbors wifi connections here in my apartment complex, so that's how I test my connection from an outside source. Anyway, I cannot get SoftSqueeze to tunnel to my home computer. I am guessing I don't have the tunneling set up correctly. Do I need to connect to cygwin using Putty first, and then start up SoftSqueeze, or just use SoftSqueeze? I have a DynDNS account set up. I just to know what ports and addresses to put in what box!

Re: [slim] SSH Connection Trouble..
Ok, I got SoftSqueeze up and running. For some reason, when I hovered over it in my tray, it said it was stopped and the option to start it was greyed out. I had to restart my computer; didn't know how to fix it. Now, I have a new question. In SoftSqueeze, I clicked the 4th button the top right to bring up the WebInterface. The address is 127.0.0.1:9001. It won't connect (as I suspected). Do I need to forward that port in my putty tunnel config to get it to work? Right now, I have to have a forward the UltraVNC port, so I suspect this might be the case. The reason, I would rather have the web interface than the player interface.. I just want it to all be tunneled through SSH! And if that is the case, I would just need to open the page in Firefox and not open the player, correct? -- UGADawg UGADawg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17163 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Playing cd's
It looks like autodiskmount has been replaced by diskarbitrationd to which diskutil talks. diskarbitrationd seems to manage mounts/dismounts of volumes/disk through diskutil - this prevent users doing umount on a drive if others areusing it. diskarbitrationd uses the file /etc/fstab. Can you post a copy of your fstab to see if this is basis of auto setting or perhaps something else such as Can you also check the file /etc/hostconfig for entries which are similar to the following: AUTOCONFIG=-YES- AUTODISKMOUNT=-REMOVABLE- AUTOMOUNT=-YES- -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

There is an option to scan playlists only, but that option doesn't stick for some reason. Scanning is't a continuous or automatic function - it must be initiated by the user. The 'Only rescan playlists' setting that you're trying to make stick is not a setting. It's an action. You select one of the rescan actions and click the 'Rescan' button. The exception to this is the first time you start the server, if the database is empty then a scan will be initiated. I just want to be able to follow the Music Folder menu entry in my SB to my music folders; to browse through folder shortcuts, and select what I want to play. That's all I require. No indexing and cataloguing or other automation needed. I'm afraid SqueezeCenter doesn't work like this. Anything you play from your library must first be scanned and catalogued in the database. When you browse through your music folders the music files are scanned as you browse. If SqueezeCenter detects changes since I last browsed (which seems to be daily), it will go into a CPU-bound loop with no HDD activity. I have to terminate SC in Windows Task Manager, and then restart SC. Then I can browse with no problem until SC next decides it needs to scan. The browsing is obviously tripping it and starting a scan of some new/changed content. Apparently it's getting caught up by your circular shortcuts. The only thing I can think of is to hack the code and get the server not to follow shortcuts. I don't think this can be done through the configuration. It might make an interesting enhancment request. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46901 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
