[slim] Can Squeezebox disable WOL?
My squeezebox seems to disable the WOL Feature the NIC of my PC? I have an vista ultimate pc running squeezecenter 7.1, i have so far been using the PC only as an media-center, but now it is also running my new squeezebox/center! My other pc in the house automaticaly wakes up the media-center from s3 standby when they acces network shares via on media-center´s IP address! It has been working flawiously so far, but then i got my squeezebox! And now it dosent work at all. When i turn on the squeezebox on for the first time it turns on the media-center as weel but, next time i try this nothing happens, media-center wont wake up any more, and the other pc´s in the house can´t either wake the media-center up anymore. But if i turn off the media-center completely and unplug the power cord, The NIC then seems to reset, and after a reboot of the media-center, it can be rewoken again from other pc´s, but only until i start the squeezebox again, then the same happens, the NIC WOL seems disabled! Any suggestions? My setup is: PC: Windows Vista Ultimate Running squeezecenter 7.1 Motherboard: Asus A8n vm-csm integrated NIC, WOL enabled in bios.

[slim] Cover Artwork incorrect only on DUET controller
Hi Guys, had the Squeezebox Duet for a couple of days and REALLY enjoying it. One little bug thats bugging me is the following.. I have used MP3Tag to put artwork with the MP3s and by and large this works fine. But on about 10% of the artwork,the controller displays the wrong artwork (ie the artwork for a different album). However the Web Interface shows the Correct Artwork ALL the TIME. (which implies it is not a problem with the tagged artwork, but how the handheld controller is getting its info). Has anyone else had this problem?? I am running software version 7.01 (thought I would try this forum before I resort to Bta software) and the hardware seemed to download the latest BIOS when it was installed. The reciever is running firmware 23 Greatly appreciate any input.

This is now changed in 1.9 (currently in beta on Windows), so it should be more friendly to Squeezecenter. I tried the latest beta and it didn't work for me - I still get lots of Miscellaneous albums.

Re: [slim] no content found for this request
The tracks you purchased and downloaded will be DRM infected, there is no way to play them directly with any of the Squeeze hardware. The only way round it is to burn them to an Audio CD (if the Rhapsody software will let you do this) and the re-rip. Streaming Rhapsody stations is completely different to playing discreate tracks. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48816 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Mike New wrote: egd;310591 Wrote: What would you like to see it do, rattle off the features list. Thanks for asking. Here is a quick dirty list. To see how these might might look on the actual interface, reference iTunes, MediaMonkey, Media Player. 1. List the library in its entirety on one screen, with sortable columns for Title, Album, Artist, Genre, Length, etc. MediaMonkey also shows the source path as a column, which I think is a major bonus for large libraries. 2. When searching, use the same screen as above, narrowing the results as the user enters characters. 3. Add a new playlist without affecting the currently active playlist, and eliminate the need to explicitly save the new playlist. 4. Drag (or right-click-add) songs to the new playlist. Sequentially number the songs in a playlist (this simplifies re-ordering on long lists.) As a side feature, make all playlists always visible so a song can be easily moved to any playlist. 5. Allow any playlist to be displayed and edited without affecting the active (playing) playlist. Again, just auto-save instead of requiring an explicit step. 6. Allow tag editing (right-click on Properties, Info, etc.) for all major formats. Filename editing would also be cool -- useful for fixing typos, etc. IMHO most of these things are hard to achieve in a browser interface. We're running into the limitations of a browser as a client. SoftSqueeze doesn't make things much better because it tries to be just like a player (with its user interface limitations) and SqueezePlay will probably suffer from the same problems by trying to be a Controller. What we need is a good PC based client that makes optimal use of a PC's memory, mouse and keyboard and acts as a client to the SqueezeCenter server. Something like Moose, I haven't tried Moose for a while so perhaps Moose is what I'm looking for. Bottom line is that the Slim PC-experience is rather slim.

Re: [slim] Poll: Which user category do you belong to ?
Well, I disagree that Logitech should now need to know SC's user base. It surely knows this already - it's for the categories of user that it designed each product to be targetted for. Transporters for Audiophiles, SB3 for everyone else. So IMHO, knowing which user category you are targeting with a specific feature is very important even thought the product itself needs to work for multiple user categories. And I think that the users are not easy to categorise into 4 classes. Many will be a bit of all to some level, and features will overlap many classes. A survey to people that browse the forum (and geeks that read mail!) is not going to answer any questions. SC needs to cater for all. What is good to know is what features/enhancement/bug fixes users want most. That is meant to be known by raising and voting upon bugs in bugzilla. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

In the MusicIP GUI (assuming you can access this) right click in the top left pane and create new filter. Then add the conditions that meet that filter (genre does not contain Christmas for example). Save it. The filter will then be available in SC (usually without a rescan in my experience, running headless). If you select the filter before mixing, it will mix only from tracks which meet the filter requirements. One caveat here - at the moment, I don't think you can access/change filters from the Duet Controller, whereas you can from the old SB remote when you start a mix. For that reason, I have a general ignore excluded tracks filter, which leaves out any material which I might want to listen to every now and then, but don't want mixed in as a matter of course. I also find filters very useful for when I only want tracks mixed from my own music library, not from my other half's.

Re: [slim] Spent 3 hours with tech support last night...
Like it, this thread has turned into an IP masterclass ;) Why not just set address reservations in your DHCP setup, most new routers support this, just add the MAC address of the network card and each time it asks for an IP address the router will return the same IP address linked to the MAC. Therefore you cover both static and dynamic allocation requirements! Also set your reservation lease times to weeks and it will pretty much have the same affect. On another note, a dedicated server is always the way to go, behind a router with a hardware firewall built in, then you dont need a software firewall or antivirus crippling the machine into the floor. Most viri come via email or from web browsing therefore if you have a dedicated server its highly unlikely it will ever get affected.

Hello All, I wonder if anyone can help? I have three SB V3's and a SR and Controller running at home. My bedroom SB V3 has been running happily plugged into a Bose wave radio for the last 18months. Sitting on top of the Bose. Last week I upgraded the Bose Wave Radio to a new Bose Wave Radio one with DAB digital radio MP3 cdr support. Since then every day or so the SB V3 looses all settings. This often happens when the Bose Wave radio switches to DAB digital mode. The SB V3 looses all settings wireless region WPA keys static IP's DNS everything - It's a pain to renter all this every day using the remote. I thought the problem must have been the SB V3 - So I swapped it with one from another room. I still have the same problem so two SB V3's work fine when away from the Bose but both loose all settings when sitting ontop on the Bose Wave radio for a day or so. Problem must be interferance field from the Bose wave radio or a remote control IR conflict causing the SB V3 to factory reset? Anyone seen this before?

A lot of people use the Zapped Songs playlist for doing this. I'm not one of them, so I forget the details, but I think it's as simple as selecting the offending track in a playlist and hitting the + key. A big limitation is that the offending track has to be *in* the playlist.

Re: [slim] Cover Artwork incorrect only on DUET controller
I had a similar problem and concluded that the artwork cache on the controller had become corrupted. I did a factory reset of the controller (power off, then hold down the + key while powering on -- at least I *think* that was the sequence) and all was fine. The downside is you have to re-enter your wireless password and any other customization you have done. I would think that there is a file on the controller with the artwork cache that you could delete after ssh'ing to the controller, but I looked and couldn't find the right file. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Trouble
Could it be that Windows Media Player has added DRM to the previous albums? Squeeze hardware will not play DRM content. There was at least one version of WMP that had DRM enabled by default, even for tracks ripped from your own CDs. I don't think this is the case now. So if Windows has updated its copy of WMP the setting could easily have been disabled. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48830 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Poor performance on my Mac
I have two SqueezeCenters (I hate the new name BTW--much harder to remember and type). One is on my 8-core MacPro with 8 GB memory. The other is on my quad core SUSE 10.3 machine. My library is on an internal drive on each machine. The Mac server is a dog. It takes 5-10 seconds to respond to commands to play new music. As a result, I often hit the button's twice and get things screwed up. For example, SoftSqueeze running on the Mac is faster by far connecting to the Linux machine, rather that the server on the same machine. Ditto for remote SqueezeBoxes. Why?

[slim] Rhapsody is just starter last night
I've been happily using Rhapsody on all of my SB3 units through SC7.01 for quite awhile. It has been very reliable and has become one of my primary sources when using my SqueezeBoxes. All of a sudden, starting yesterday evening, I can no longer access anything on Rhapsody. I can look through channels, search for music, and see all the tracks in my Rhapsody library, but whenever I try to actually play something I get the following error: Internal Rhapsody Error: Unable to Authenticate user I did a search here, and found several threads about Rhapsody issues, but nothing recent, and nothing that helped resolve this issue for me. Everything else in my SB/SC system seems to be working fine, including my local music library, all my Internet Radio and other services (including Pandora, Slacker, Live365, RadioTime, Radio IO). I can access, and play all music on Rhapsody from the native Rhapsody application on my desktop, which is the same machine running SC. But I cannot play anything Rhapsody related through SB/SC/SN. The only thing new, is I installed the latest version of iTunes on that machine (which is a powerful HP Workstation class machine running Vista Ultimate SP1).

I can't help thinking this must have something to do with it. Unfortunately I didn't have time to see if I could see the track via the other SC. Anybody else had any issues with upside down question marks in file names? thats a good question, b/c i know i have some characters like that... i even have some normal ? marks, which i think are from a differing char set (somehow?) and therefore the OS allows it. (one of EAC's abilities?) you might also look at this bug, as its an issue that could be in play here: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8380 and i would also read the thread in the bugs url, that explains how you can configure SC to guess at track info if no reasonable tags are found. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48195 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

On the other hand I could not see this track on the machine where the tracks are missing (an old lappy) even if I tried to navigate there through the music folder.

[slim] Favorites Crash Squeeze Center
I have been running 7.01 on my Infrant NAS without issue. I had a set of favorites that I created by first importing the opml file from my Squeezenetwork account. I then crated two new folders and within them I created links to many XM Radio stations (since the duet controlled can't see the plugin in the menu). There has been no change in my usage or sytem installation, but suddenly I am having a major problem with favorites. Everytime I navigate to FAVORITES on the controller or on screen with a squeezebox, the SqueezeCenter server disconnects and literally just hangs. I am assuming the favorites are somehow corrupt - but I have no idea how to clear them out and start over.

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
On a Windows build, no - no copying required. It appears in the MusicIP plugin settings page of Squeezecenter as a drop down option (also available on an SB3 by scrolling down before you initiate a mix if you give each player access to the mix settings). Not sure about a Linux build. However, the filter option is a parameter to the HTTP API so should be fairly straightforward. One other thought - I have a registration key, not sure if this is a requirement to use filters. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? -Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.

Re: [slim] MusicIP question
You need to add the new music to the MusicIP library, then rescan to pick it up in Squeezecenter. Are you running headless or not, and using Linux or not? Open up the MusicIP application (if you can), let it find and validate your new music, then close MusicIP down. If running headless, open up the MusicIP webui (http://youriphere:10002) and reload cache. Then depending on how you have Squeezecenter set up, do a full clear and rescan and all your new music should be mixable.

Ubuntu seems to do a lot of things differently than regular unix; maybe there's just some command to run? - As far as I can tell, I will be best scanning my (FLAC) library on my XP machine, writing the data to the tags, and then moving the whole library to the Ubuntu machine. That way I get to use the full MIP GUI for the analysis... does this sound right? Since the library is on an external HD, will that make the scan take a lot longer? - Can I get MIP to fix all the tags while doing this? Sure sounds nice... or do I need to analyze, then fix tags? (nb: tags are decent already... if so, will having MIP fix them create more trouble than it's worth? - Once I've analyzed the library moved it onto the Ubuntu machine (with MIP running headless), then what?

Re: [slim] Scan for new or changed music
Big caveat here - I don't use Itunes. However, if you are happy to let Itunes manage your music, you may be able to speed up performance by only relying on Itunes integration. If you enable use Itunes but don't put in an entry for Music Folder in Squeezecenter, then all Squeezecenter will use to populate its database is Itunes (so you save on rescanning time where Squeezecenter would normally try to match up it's own database with Itunes). Also, Squeezecenter will check for changes to the Itunes database periodically (depending on how you have set the Rescan Interval) and automatically update Squeezecenter if Itunes has changed. Downside is that you can't use Browse Music folder to just rescan a specific folder. Also, iTunes integration appears to work less well if Itunes is installed on a different 'box' from Squeezecenter. May be worth trying. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? -Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.

Re: [slim] Scan for new or changed music
Well, I run a collection of approx 10,000 tracks on an XP box with 1gb ram and a rescan (including MIP integration) takes 18 mins. However, I run Squeezecenter on a dedicated, headless box with no other significant processes. Also, my music is stored on the same physical drive as Squeezecenter, so no external hard drives (which slow the process down quite a bit I believe). Have you tried upping the server priority in Squeezecenter? Do you have an on-access virus scanner installed? This may also be responsible for chewing up your CPU as it will monitor every file access that SC makes on a recan. I would shut down all non-essential processes (inc virus scanners, internet connection etc) and initiate a rescan.

All functions should be designed to be as easy to use as possible, and unobtrusive for people that don't need/want those functions. So maybe the user categories I defined was the wrong ones ? Maybe. I don't think it would make any difference. Better suggestions that would fit everyone better would be appreciated, so if anyone has ideas how to divide the users into different categories, please post. There are different ways to categorise users. By type (as you have attempted), or by the hardware they use to play music (PC Server, NAS, Squeezebox, Transporter, SBC). Perhaps by age group. Perhaps by their listening environment (lounge or bedroom, loud parties or headphones). If half the user base were grandmothers, and half were spotty teenager geeks, would it really influence the way that geeky functions are designed, so that grandmothers can use them too? I think Geek is too strong. Perhaps open it up a bit more to be people who are not afraid to try beta software and plugins; they are gadget lovers. They constantly strive for new features. Enthusiasts. Music Lover and Audiophile are similar to me - both care about listening to music. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

However, I seem to remember someone posting that Reload Cache works well in Windows but not half so well in Linux - could that be relevant to you?

I'll experiment with a small subset of my library to see if there is something I can do about it. One way that would work (albeit a bit contrived) is to access the NAS' m3lib via a mount from Ubuntu that replicates the exact path to the file on the NAS. After copying the new albums across to the NAS I could then use genpuid to analyse the tracks and use MiP headless's m3lib on on the NAS as the database to append, following which a refresh should achieve the desired result. -- 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=48846 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Download MusicIP for Linux from MusicIP.com and save the file to a temp
folder e.g. ~/Desktop/MusicIP
Open a terminal Window and change to the temp folder, extract the
archive and optionally remove it:
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/MusicIP
gzip -dc MusicMixer_x86_1.8.tgz | tar xf -
rm MusicMixer_x86_1.8.tgz
One of the files in the archive is called mmserver. This is the
startup script for MiP headless. It needs to be customised to reflect
your configuration and then added to your Linux boot process.
The default file looks as follows:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# NON-PRIVIELEGED USER TO RUN MUSICMAGICSERVER.
USER=
# PATH TO THE MUSICMAGICMIXERSERVER
export MUSICHOME=
case $1 in
start)
su - $USER -c $MUSICHOMEMusicMagicServer start/dev/null
echo Running MusicMagicServer
exit
;;
stop)
su - $USER -c $MUSICHOMEMusicMagicServer stop/dev/null
echo Stopped MusicMagicServer
exit
;;
*)
echo Usage: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mmserver { start | stop }
exit
;;
esac
USER= should be set to your Ubuntu login name e.g. USER=egd.
export MUSICHOME= should be edited to reflect the location of your
MusicIP installation and by implication your MiP database (if you're
following this step by step it would currently become export
MUSICHOME=/home/yourusername/Desktop/MusicIP/.
You can then copy mmserver to /etc/init.d/ as follows:
Code:
sudo cp mmserver /etc/init.d/
Now you need to tell Ubuntu to start MiP BEFORE Squeezecenter. Install
Boot-up-manager (BUM) and then run it (it will also appear as an entry
in your Ubuntu System/Administration menu):
Code:
sudo apt-get install bum
sudo bum
Click on BUM's Advanced option and navigate to its Services tab. Find
SqueezeCenter, right click on it and select Change Start/Stop
priority. Note the numeric priority assigned to it. Hit Cancel.
Find mmserver, right click on it and select Change Start/Stop
priority. Set the numeric priority assigned to it to a higher number
than that assigned to SqueezeCenter. Hit OK.
Restart your Ubuntu machine (if you know what you're doing you can stop
SC, start MiP and then restart SC, thus avoiding the need for a reboot,
however, a reboot is probably warranted to ensure it all works when you
start up your machine).

But, when I go to SC, it isn't there. I shutdown both SC and MIP and restarted both - still not there. Since I could get the filter to work in the GUI, I would think that this is not a feature that requires a registration key. Looking at the API, it looks like you can only query what filters exist - you can't actually create one. Does anybody know how to make this work with Linux? Thanks, Rich Looking at the init script egd posted gave me my clue. When I run the GUI of MIP, I'm logged in as root. So, my changes all go into /root/.MusicIP. I hacked up the squeezecenter script to start MIP headless and didnt' specify the user ID. So, when it starts, it is reading from /.MusicIP. When I log in as root, kill the MIP headless server and start it logged in as root, then SC sees my filter!!! So, on Linux, in order for changes you make in the GUI to be seen by the headless server, you must run both under the same user name. When I have time, I may give a whack at updating the Wiki with this additional information. -- maggior maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 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

And in these forums, most of the active participants seem to me to be technical types or at least people who are technically capable. Oftentimes helping people like me who have problems or questions. I currently have a bit more time on my hands than I've had previously, and so I have enjoyed reading here for the past few weeks. I am decidedly non-technical, and for people like me, if things are working OK, there is little interest in tinkering with something that doesn't need tinkering.

Siduhe;311672 Wrote: On a Windows build, no - no copying required. It appears in the MusicIP plugin settings page of Squeezecenter as a drop down option (also available on an SB3 by scrolling down before you initiate a mix if you give each player access to the mix settings). Not sure about a Linux build. However, the filter option is a parameter to the HTTP API so should be fairly straightforward. One other thought - I have a registration key, not sure if this is a requirement to use filters. Could you post the path to the filter you've created - if we can see where iit's being saved I may be able to drop it in the like location under MiP headless on Linux?

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
To create a filter, you need to use the MusicMagicMixer, which is a Java GUI. Right click on the left window pane and you will see an option to create a filter. When you do this, You MUST ensure that you run the GUI as the same user as your headless MusicMagicServer. Otherwise, changes made in the GUI will not be reflected by the headless server. Once the filter has been created, you must exit the GUI, and restart SqueezeCenter and MusicMagicServer. It may be enough to just restart MusicMagicServer. I restart both since I have both start from the same init script. At this point, your filters will be available on the MusicIP configuration page of SqueezeCenter. It's a PITA, but fortunately configuring filters is probably not something you will do very often. -- maggior maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 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
