[slim] SC crashes as a service
I'd really like to run SqueezeCenter as a service, since my wife has her own Windows account, but would like to listen to music while I'm away. Unfortunately, when SqueezeCenter is set to start as a service, it crashes on system startup: Application popup: squeezecenter.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x0012e83d" referenced memory at "0x". The memory could not be "written". Looking at the logs, SqueezeCenter appears to fail connecting to MySQL, so I believe this is some kind of dependency issue. I've modified the service to depend on SqueezeMySQL, without success. Has anyone else encountered this? Has anyone had any luck fixing it? -- jep76 jep76's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18001 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48615 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Artwork resizing - could it be managed better?
Bit of a long one this I'm afraid I've been doing some investigation into artwork resizing and caching in 7.01, prompted by the fact that it takes 30 secs to resample a 500x500 image on my RadyNAS NV+ to each required size, which means teh interface runs like a dog Note: I have tried reducing the size of my standard artwork files to see if it helps - it does reduce the resample time (to 15 secs), but it's still not manageable Having turned on logging in the server, I've seen the following: 1) Artwork is cached on a per song basis, rather than a per-album basis 2) The initial scan creates and caches some artwork sizes (see below) but only for the first song in the album 3) There are 7 different representations of artwork that I've seen: 50x50 (pad) - Created and cached for each album during initial scan. Used for web interface album thumbnails 100x100 (pad) - Created and cached for each album during initial scan. Used for web interface 'now playing' thumbnails 56x56 (original) - Created and cached for each album during initial scan. Used in controller interface for album thumbnail 96x96 (pad) - Not created during initial scan. Used for 'now playing' thumbnail in web interface. Gets created and cached when a song is first played via controller, causing delay in now playing artwork to appear 154x154 (original) - Not created during initial scan. Used for smaller 'now playing' thumbnail in controller. Gets created and cached when a song is first played via controller, causing delay in now playing artwork to appear 186x186 (original) - Not created during initial scan. Used for larger 'now playing' thumbnail in controller. Gets created and cached when a song is first played via controller, causing delay in now playing artwork to appear 240x240 (original) - Not created during initial scan. Used for 'show artwork' screen in controller. Gets created and cached on first request, causing delay in artwork to appear 25x25 - Not created during initial scan. Used for small non-artwork thumbnails in the web interface. Gets created and cached on first request, causing delay in the web interface to work first time 3) Most of the standard icons which sit alongside the cover art (e.g. 'no cover art' logo, favourites logo, genre logo etc.) come in a standard jpg size (336x336) and have to be resampled on first use in the interfaces (web and/or controller). This causes delays in first use of either interface - particularly when using readyNas server Some observations: 1) The initial scan doesn't do much to help the controller interface in terms of resizing and caching artwork. Only the 56x56 image is used by the controller 2) There is no sharing of cached cover art for different songs in the same album. I understand that some people may have embedded artwork which can vary by song, but if folder.jpg is used, the cached versions should be re-used where possible 3) More could/should be done during the initial scan to help out those of us who predominantly use the controller interface as opposed to the web interface. Perhaps this could be made configurable so that I could get all resizing and caching requirements done up front as opposed to on first use. 4) If nothing can be done around point 2 (different songs, same album), getting the initial scan to create artwork for all of the songs would be useful - at least as an option 5) The standard logos used in the interfaces should be pre-prepared and cached to meet requirements rather than on first use. Overall, I think there a lots of things that can be done around the management of artwork which would make the interfaces run much better. It's particularly bad with ReadyNas, but would help across the board. It may take some more programming and/or config options, but I think it's worthwhile. If all I had was my readynas nv+ to run the server, I would have given up on the duet and returned it. At the moment, I'm using another machine to run the server and it's useable - but has other issues. Ideally I would migrate back to readynas as it's the only always-on machine in the house. -- cwinson cwinson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17447 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Buffering problem
I have been using Slimserver successfully for a number of years and recently upgraded to Sqeezecenter. I am now experiencing buffering problems, basically music plays but fades then starts again etc. I have not changed any connections and my Slimserver is connected by Cat 5 cable. I recorded my music recorded as .wma (lossless) but now shows up as wm(TM)audio dont know what the difference is and I have searched the net for the answer. Can anybody help with this? I have downloaded Switch Sound file converter and have converted some files to .wma at 128kpps,44kHz,stereoCBR, 160kpps,44kHz,stereoCBR, 192kpps,44kHz,stereoCBR, 256kpps,44kHz,stereoCBR and 320kpps,44kHz,stereoCBR and these have played. I have also converted two albums to OGG Vorbis at level 6 and 8 and both play without a problem. So it looks like I need to convert all my files.? However this leaves me with the problem of converting each album individually and I have over 900 albums stored. Does anyone know of any software that will covert batches of albums? Also what would be the best audio file to covert to .wma at 320kpps,44kHz,stereoCBR or OGG Vorbis at level 8? -- Tom18 Tom18's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48620 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Buffering problem
I think it would be best to find the source of your problem rather than to convert all your files. However if you do go down the route of converting then the best format to convert to would be FLAC. FLAC is a lossless format, so you'll keep the full quality of your lossless WMA files.

The beta is only available for Windows at the moment, but we will be doing a linux release in the future. Anyways, if someone could test the Windows version to make sure it's giving correct results with SC, that would be fantastic. Also - note that the metadata mixer sends over the API is only the metadata from the files. We do not use the "suggested tag fixes" from MusicDNS unless a user specifically applies those to their files. So any other issues reported here about strange metadata are probably likely to issues such as album artist not being consistent with track artist in the file. Those are things you might want to fix in your files independent of the mixer.

Re: [slim] Somebody has to say it.
I found this thread through a search. I'm considering upgrading to a newer version, and wanted to see if the system will keep my settings or whether I'll have to reconfigure everything again. (Again). And you know what? I can 100% sympathise with the OP on virtually all points raised. I, personally, am not so worked up about it - but that's because some other poor soul has already gone through the effort of upgrading and has encountered all these problems that would otherwise have hit me too. I love these forums. This community has always been extremely helpful when I've had questions, even when I've had stupid questions where the answers were just a search away... But seriously though - for the most part, I feel the responses have been pretty hard on the OP which I find surprising. So - the OP is more or less letting off steam. He/She has had problems, and isn't describing them with an end to fixing them - OP is just being angry about basically feeling let down about a couple of things. I can *completely* see what they mean! That's why I actually found this thread in the first place! If I didn't know how much of a hassle it was to upgrade (from experience going back several years of SB ownership) then I would have blindly went ahead with new version and - most likely - got myself in same situation as OP. Here's a list of OP frustrations that I can completely understand: -Software reliability... I can't remember a SS upgrade that has gone 100% without problems. A noteable one in my case was due to a brand new bug that actually made listening to music impossible until I rolled back the changes. So I can understand when someone gets annoyed that they've upgraded and hit several problems and has had to downgrade again. Because I've been there. -Effects and animation... Ok - so OP and myself have a different opinion on this, I guess. Sure, animations don't impress me that much but it's not something that cause me to be annoyed. -Settings... Heh. I am *so* with the OP on this. This is such a valid point, and is the ENTIRE REASON I even found this thread and have felt motivated to respond. This has been a hassle every single upgrade (for me). Reading that the system would keep current settings and then finding that some were still missing would annoy the hell out of me, too. Are there caveats to this? Are they documented? I'd like to avoid this frustration too, please. -Slim Network requirement... If the system requires SN to be up and running, then I'm again with OP on this. -tray icon... You've got to admit - it's fairly pointless, no? And just because OP (and a considerable percentage of other customers) are on Windows isn't a reason to be facetious. -Slim/Logitech: You guys/gals... The point here? Squeezebox is awesome. It requires SS, which in turn means that -once you've installed and configured it- (typically a couple of hours to get it exactly right, in my experience) then SS is awesome too. I think OP is trying to say that it would be great if you could download SS/SC, install it, then be up and running in 5 minutes without the (frequent) hassle of tinkering to get it set up properly. It doesn't work straight of of the box. I've been using it for 5+ years and it's NEVER been right straight out of the box. I would challenge anyone who says otherwise. -Me: I'm dumb for wasting my time writing this... Sadly there was not enough info on any of the issues to know what caused them (and therefore they can't be fixed). And original poster now has downgraded again. But I honestly was pretty shocked at the tone of some of the responses. He got no empathy. He ranted (which wasn't cool) but he had valid points. And yet the majority of the responses were either along the lines of "well it worked for me" or even derogatory. -Me again: I'm also dumb for "upgrading" to 7... Once again - I know exactly what this guy means. That's why I'm being really cautious about upgrading. And you know what? It's scary that people have to be so cautious before even considering an upgrade. It's -sensible- to have an element of caution - but you need to be almost paranoid when considering an upgrade or SS/SC. That can't be right, surely?! I feel like I've gone on a whole rant myself, which freaks me out a bit. Sorry for that. I just felt (and continue to feel) complete and utter understanding of the frustrations of OP and I was quite shocked by what seems (to me) to be such an unsympathetic attitude that seems to have been adopted in response to those frustrations.

Re: [slim] Somebody has to say it.
Upgrading and keeping settings: I don't know if SS settings would be migrated as there are new/different folder locations in SC7 for favorites, settings, etc... I started from scratch. Even in SC7 there are at least three different folders to back up (settings, favorites, plugins). I'm guessing (hoping) SD's or a third party plugin writer will eventually introduce a backup/restore routine that will grab/install all such files. SN is only required for certain Internet Radio services like Sirius, Live365, Pandora, etc... It is not required for other services in SC7 like favorites, ShoutCast, etc...

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Can anybody please advise what the MusicIP validation process actually does ? I ask because, having tried to finely tune the mix paramaters within SC and the MusicMagicServer I'm still getting some very "odd" mixes. Does the validation process flag tracks by genre, style of music, feel/mood of music or some other method ? The songs in my library have not been all correctly tagged for genre but I was expecting the MusicIP validation process to log this information. However if, for example, I select a rock ballad as the seed song, I get a lot of songs in the mix that are not by rock artists and certainly not rock ballads or anything similar in style or mood. Am I expecting too much from MusicIp or do I need to do some more fine tuning of the mix settings and, if so, which ones ? I am using MIP headless, the Spicefly server UI and SC 7.01 with a Duet controller.

[slim] SqueezeCenter shows Duet Receiver Off when it is On...
Hi, I have a Transporter, a Duet Receiver and a Duet Controller to rule them all. When I go to bed I connect the Controller to the Transporter and command it off (Transporter turns off); then I connect the Controller to the Duet Receiver and command it off (Receiver turns off; LED off). Then I turn off my PC. But in the morning, when I turn on my PC again, the Transporter is still off like it should be, but the Receiver is on (white LED), and when I look in the SqueezeCenter web UI, it reports the Transporter as off (correct) and it also reports the Receiver as off (which is untrue, since it is on, with white LED).

I change the mix settings today and four days later I need a refresh course on the interfaces and settings before I can deal with them again. As I mentioned in post #96, I would like to see the headless HTTP API included as part of the MusicIP settings in the Web interface of SC. To begin, let the settings applied in this page be the default for the MusicIP mixes generated using the Web interface and all the player that connect to the specific SC server. Later, an enhancement could be to have a per player settings page to allow mix characteristics to be different from player to player. I understand that this is not and easy task, but maybe someone in the community would be willing to do it. I'd do it myself, but my days as a developer are long gone and my programming skills are going the way of the Dodo. -- tamanaco tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I reverted to the latest SVN version of the MusicIP plugin and triggered a full rescan of my SC music library, and now have hundreds of Miscellaneous albums again. Has anyone else tried this yet? BTW, a full rescan takes a long time now that I have MusicIP plugin enabled, irrespective of whether it does a full scan or new and changed files rescan. I'd prefer it if the plugin could just ask MusicIP about the new and changed files when it does a partial rescan. I also see no benefit in the plugin reading tags from MusicIP and setting them within SC library, as my SC library tags are completely fine as they are. I only need it to read the "is mixable" indicator for songs, and apply to artist, album and genre if necessary. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Controller Performance Problem
I just thought I would provide an update on some further investigation
work I have been doing today.
Listed below is another snippet from the SC logfile when I selected an
album by ABC on the controller (SBC):
[08-06-07 18:51:03.6787] Slim::Schema::Track::coverArt (271) Retrieving
artwork for:
file:NAS600/media/my%20music/ABC/Traffic/02%20The%20Very%20First%20Time.wma
[08-06-07 18:51:03.6794] Slim::Music::Artwork::_readCoverArtTags (220)
Looking for a cover art image in the tags of: [\\NAS600\media\my
music\ABC\Traffic\02 The Very First Time.wma]
[08-06-07 18:51:03.7951] Slim::Music::Artwork::_readCoverArtFiles (264)
Looking for image files in \\NAS600\media\my music\ABC\Traffic
[08-06-07 18:51:04.5691] Slim::Music::Artwork::_readCoverArtFiles (352)
Found image file: \\NAS600\media\my music\ABC\Traffic\folder.jpg
[08-06-07 18:51:04.5700] Slim::Schema::Debug::query_start (26) UPDATE
tracks SET cover = ? WHERE ( id = ? ): '\\NAS600\media\my
music\ABC\Traffic\folder.jpg', '5210'
The key bit is the last line where you can see that SqueezeCenter is
updating the COVER column in the TRACKS table (on the SLIMSERVER db)
with the location of the cover/album art for track ID 5210 ("The Very
First Time").
This suggested to me that it should be possible to create my own SQL
script that would set the cover art for every track where the cover art
was missing (in the db) i.e. TRACKS.COVER was NULL. This would then
avoid the performance hit of SqueezeCenter doing this every time I
selected an album on the controller (SBC).
As I wanted to have a look at the MySQL db schema, I used the MySQL
Query Browser tool (from
http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/query-browser/) and with this found
the column on the TRACKS table that I could use to derive the filepath
for the cover art:
SELECT T.URL FROM SLIMSERVER.TRACKS T WHERE T.ID=5210
Result:
file:NAS600/media/my%20music/ABC/Traffic/02%20The%20Very%20First%20Time.wma
As all of my album art is held in \\\folder.jpg files,
all I needed to do was to set the location of this file based on the
URL filepath for the track. After a bit of playing around, I came up
with the following SQL statement:
UPDATE SLIMSERVER.TRACKS T SET
T.COVER=REPLACE(CONCAT(SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING(T.URL,1,
LENGTH(T.URL)-LOCATE('/',REVERSE(T.URL))+1),LENGTH('File://')+1),'Folder.jpg'),'%20','
')
WHERE T.ALBUM IS NOT NULL AND T.COVER IS NULL
Basically all this is doing is working from the end of the URL to find
the lowest folder location, it then adds the "folder.jpg" to this
folder path, then strips out the URL encoding stuff. I am sure that
there are probably more elegant ways of doing this, but I hadnt used
MySQL until today, so apologies if the SQL offends any of you MySQL
gurus;-)
Anyway, after I had run this against the database (it updated approx
4000+ records in about 2 seconds), I verified it by selecting a dozen
different albums on the controller and the track listing came back
virtually instantaneously. I have some further testing to do but am
very pleased with the results so far.
I will obviously need to run this whenever I add new music to the
library but as it executes so quickly, this isnt a problem.
I should add that this workaround wont necessarily work as is for
everyone who has the same performance issues (running SC on a separate
PC from a NAS) as your music library may be organised differently.
Plus, of course Logitech could change the db schema at any point
(although this is probably unlikely on any great scale). However
hopefully this may be of use to someone else.

I'd think a simple way of determining where it's taking its cue from is to change the number of tracks to be generated by the mix in SC Plugins MiP settings and then generate a mix.

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Ok, I've just run the test I referred to in my previous response - the upshot is that MiP, when integrated with SC, takes its cue from SC's SqueezeCenter Settings/Plugins/MusicIP. So, unless I'm misinterpreting, mmm.ini is in fact irrelevant in the SC integration setup and that mmm.ini's settings are under this construct only loaded as defaults, which are then promptly overridden by SC when it sends mix instructions to MiP headless via the HTTP API. -- 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=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi all, I'm a new user of the Duet system, actually I'm setting it up for my father-in-law who's music crazy (~50,000 mp3s!). When I installed everything the 1st time I was using v7.0.1, but nothing seemed to work correctly, the server would hang, the scanner would crash, and the web interface would hang. So, after reading some posts here I downgraded the server to v6.5.4, now the controller can't find any music sources apart from the SqueezeNetwork. However it sees the Squeezebox OK, and I can ping the controller and SB from the PC OK. I've tried re-installing the server, I've tried updating the controller's firmware (which doesn't seem to work either), I've tried factory resetting the controller, I've tried inputting the server's IP into the controller but when I select the IP in the music sources list the interface just "jolts" (i.e. doesn't do anything). Do I need to downgrade the controller to get it working with 6.5.4?

I do have a couple of suggestions. Dumb it down just a bit, it would scare me off I think if I hadn't already done it (us dummies you know). I think you need to point out a bit more that people can use the GUI to do all the validating, just by reading it was pretty focused on the Genpuid technique.

Re: [slim] Why SqueezeCenter is worse than Squeeze Server
You might want to try a different title next time - how about "Having problems with SqueezeCenter, please help". There are lots of reasons why SC is better than older versions of SS, but you're obviously not going to appreciate them if it won't even run for you! A couple of suggestions: - you've not said which version of SC7 you are running. The latest 7.0.1 released? Go to settings-status and report back the "SueezeCenter Version" string - when you say it won't recognise M3U files, what exactly do you mean? Are you sure the M3U files are in the right folder you specified at setup? Did they work in earlier versions of SS? Have a look in bugzilla (bugs.slimdevices.com) : search for M3U, there are a few specific bugs listed there, see if any seem to apply to your situation - if you don't like the default skin you can always try another one. But it shouldn't take for ever to load. What hardware setup do you have?

There's a reference to Spicefly's guidance under Quick Tips - is that not the tool (registry entry) you're referring to? If you've some ideas on other areas I should expand on to make it more user friendly I'd be happy to hear them. -- 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=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
