I have it working now (firmware upgrade), but I'm pretty damned sure the average consumer would have sent it back and assumed it was faulty. Battery was charged overnight and drained flat within 4 hours. My first couple of charges lasted only 4-5 hours as well, but I don't think I was down to early firmware as my firmware was updated automatically within about 15 minutes of taking it out of the box. The initial low battery life was down one think, the fact that I was using it a lot in those first couple of days. I was picking it up and playing with it all the time, trying out all the features, installing new plugins and testing those, skipping up and down my music library. As such the first couple of charges we under non-typical use. As soon as I settled down battery life shot up. If I use the Controller normally, queuing up music throughout the day, it makes it through a full day and into the next day without a charge. If I don't use the controller for a couple of days it survives quite happily and still has some charge when I come back to it. So I think some documentation is probably needed to explain this to the average consumer. Sure it would be nice if the battery lasted even longer, but that would mean a bigger and clunkier Controller and I like the nice slim form that it has. -- andynormancx andynormancx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Controller: first impressions/ experience
Received mine in NZ yesterday. A very frustrating experience, the controller would not update and it would take minutes to connect to my existing Squeezeboxes (I have 2 Squeezebox 3s) if at all (most of the time it wouldn't connect even if it was next to them and the wireless network router). If I used Squeezecenter on my PC to connect to Squeezenetwork everything worked but if I tried to use the controller to reconnect any of the Squeezeboxes to my music files it never connected. Even when I used the web interface to connect to my local music and on the rare occasion the controller connected to one of my squeezebox 3s, it showed what was playing but had no menu options to browse my music library and change what was playing. This was all using the latest Squeezecenter 7.0.1. Finally today out of desperation I installed the 7.1 alpha. The controller then updated properly for the first time and now everything works perfectly. Changing player takes about 2 seconds and my music library is available and works fine on all of them. Switching between Squeezenetwork and Squeezecenter also works fine. Only minor problem is the standard Squeezecenter web interface is corrupt (it is alpha software) but changing from Classic to Fishbone has sorted that for now. Worth a try for those with problems.

Re: [slim] Controller: first impressions/ experience
I upgraded the firmware via SqueezeCenter Version: 7.1 - 19758 binaries. With the updated firmware it's functional and I can use it to interact with my library. The overall build quality is pretty poor though - the battery lid has play and squeaks as your palm closes around it when pressing buttons etc. The scroll wheel still leaves a lot to be desired when compared to any iPod device. Oversteering is pretty easy once it gets going and I find that it's not particularly responsive getting it going. I don't mean to bash the product, but I reckon a native application running on an iPhone or iPod Touch will make for a much nicer wireless remote. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Playback of 24bit/96khz FLAC files
The SB3 can sometimes handle 24/96kHz material by throwing away every other sample, effectively giving you a resolution of 24/48kHz. But the SB3 CPU often chokes on the large amount of data in a 24/96 file. The best way to counter this is to downsample the file in a WAV editor and save it as 24/48 WAV, then compress to FLAC. -- Pale Blue Ego Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47762 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

follow-up with some additional information. I was unable to find a way to bail out on the controller upgrading between the different versions of SqueezeCenter. I ended up uninstalling 7.0.1 and installing 7.0 on my Windows server. This puts it on the same version that the Thecus module is built against. Everything is working great now. Switching between players being driven from different servers is very quick. It takes about 2 sec to find the players connected to the other server during the Choose Player process. Once I chose the other player, it connects and is ready to go in under 3 sec. I'll have to keep my servers versions in sync and not upgrade until builds are available for the N5200.

Maybe we could work out a 'trade' where I'll encode your WAV files to DTS if you rip some of my DVD-A that don't have a Dolby/DTS playlist on them.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter 7 fails to start on XP
This has been bugging me for quite a while now - in fact since I upgraded from slimserver6.5.4 to squeezecentre 7. I think I finally cracked it tonight, please let me know if this helps anyone else! In the end I discovered that the 2 new services added by the installation were interfering with each other. Both Squeezecenter Service and SqueezeMySQL were added as Automatic starting services. The SqueezeMySQL service was always in a state of Stopping... but never stopped! So I killed the MySQLd process. That stopped it. I noticed that if I started the SqueezeCenter Service then the SqueezeMySQL service also started gracefully by itself and the whole thing was running OK. So my fix was to change the SqueezeMySQL service to be a Manual startup service. Now the SqueezeCenter service starts it up automatically. I think they were fighting with each other at boot time.

I can play the title. However, there is no option for Play All as there is when an album or artist is selected. After the single song is played, nothing more happens. This appears to happen with all play lists, but is particularly annoying for large ones. For instance, I have one playlist that contains all the Canadian artists in my collection, a lot of titles. I'd like to be able to play these on shuffle, but can't. Any solutions? R. Press *play* when the name of the playlist is highlighted. You can play an artist, an album, and even a complete genre this way. No need to press the *center* button to get to *play all*. -= 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=47771 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter on Windows Server 2008
Is your Windows 2008 Server part of a domain? Both the machines I have tried it on are part of a domain - one is a PDC, and the other is just a member of the domain. -- siegeld siegeld's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=542 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Composers listed in Artists. Why?
jstraw;302906 Wrote: When I look at music for a specific artist, the listing includes anything that may have been composed by that artists. How can I limit the listing for an artist to files on which the person is the performer? check settings-music library. Is there a check mark on 'list composers as artist' selection. Alternatively, check your tags; see if artist contains exactly what you want. K -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iAj2aPdQnk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvMNuuFSvN0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDRhRv4q_SI http://youtube.com/watch?v=nlrpe8Ig5m8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=dC9tGlwPln8 slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47791 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] How to smooth RSS/ticker streaming?
Like many here, I've set up my SB to scroll newscasts (e.g. BBC and NYT) while music is playing. While I've found how to speed up the rate at which the banner scrolls, it's annoying how juddery it runs. Does anyone know of any tweaks to improve this?
