I have had squeezecenter running on Vista Ultimate for quite a time and
have had no issues with any of the versions from 6.5 to 7.1.

I use Norton Internet Security for AV and FW.

This looks like a Trend Micro Internet Security issue.  You should

I am using Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security and I do not have a

Here's a first cut at a windows script

  set cache="C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\Application

  "%~dp0genpuid.exe" %key% -m3lib=%cache% -archive -r %musicdir%
  endlocal
  


save as a .bat or .cmd file in the same directory as genpuid.exe.

I've tried it, it works - but I don't see any reduction in the time
taken for MusicIP Import.

I ran the script above, then the musicIP refresh, then reload cache,
then "look for new and changed music" in SC.
Or should I have not run refresh?
I'm pretty sure "reload cache" is necessary, or the (headless) MusicIP
wouldn't have the new data generated by genpuid... right?

It doesn't take that much of a computer. I have been running mine on an
ancient AMD 2000+ system that was given to me. I put a gig of ram in it,
and lots of disks. I'm very happy with it. I'm running Linux on it,
which is easier on the system than Windows.

My little brother runs his on a machine he bought for $180. (no monitor)
He bought the machine used two weeks ago, I gave him one of my SB1
units. Figured I'd get him addicted to it, and he can buy his own duet

Re: [slim] When Duet controller can support Chinese Characters ??

2008-06-19 Thread softsantear

Thanks to all for the tips.  I didn't realize one could replace the
fonts in the Duet controller and was despairing of getting CJK
characters rendered correctly.

Here are some specific tips for Japanese font support:

1. This issue was recently discussed on the 2chan BBS
(http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:iWsq2PKA6ooJ:hobby11.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/pav/1165508841/935-970)
and the Arisaka (modified Mac font for Win) and Meiryo (MS Cleartype
font) were recommended.
2. Fonts that do not work are IPA, SH-G30, and MSGothic/GothicP.
3. Info about the suggested fonts, with sample images and links, is
here: http://smart-pda.net/useful7+index.id+5.htm

I tested the Arisaka family and it looks good, with decent spacing, but
it is a bit thin looking.  This is especially so for Latin text. 
Everything is readable, but it lacks the familiar weight of the
FreeSans font.

Two questions:

1. Is the Arialuni.ttf mentioned previously just a catch-all font that
includes support for characters in all CJK languages?
2. This method worked for displaying artist and album names in
Japanese, but I prefer to browse through the Music Library>Music
Folder.  Many of my directory names are in Japanese, but these are not
rendered properly.  I wondered why, and looked in the SqueezeCenter web
interface, only to find that they aren't being detected _there_, either.
Is this a limitation I don't know about?  I thought that the SC
software should have no trouble detecting CJK filenames server-side.

Thanks.

Peter, quit being such a jerk,

I have never responded to these things, but for some reason I feel
compelled to now.

How do you submit a bug with Nokia?  Uh, you don't, so good point?

This forum used to be like any linux forum, like what you'd find at
ubuntuforums.com, a bunch of dudes with some open source software that
used some companies hardware.

Well the problem is it isn't just some companies hardware anymore, it's
Logitech's, which is VERY akin to Nokia, maybe not entirely, but VERY
close.  This forum is now a "customer service" outlet, any maybe it
isn't the proper channel, but it's going to happen and only get worse,
so perhaps it's time for you to get used to the way things work too.

When you have a bug reporting/triage system implemented, it's not just
open source software anymore, it's features that were supposed to come
with the box, a Logitech box,a company that's not new to bugs and knows
they should be fixed.  I know, I know, Nokia won't fix my bugs
either

Now, I'm very appreciative of those that work on the SS open source
effort.  I have a lot of respect for those people that have the time
and energy.  But at the same time, lay off people who get a little
tired of waiting around for bugs to get fixed.  You're not always
dealing with people as patient as you, and you may not be dealing with
people who give a rat's tuckus about open source software.

Ultimately you sound like you're whining about people whining, pot

Hello iPhone,

I am trying to import iTunes playlists with radio stations. Which
apparently seems to work now. Because of this bug, I was managing my
radio playlists with SqueezeServer, rather than with iTunes. Now I
created a radio playlist and scanned it with SqueezeServer. It works!
Hurray!

So apparently there was a misunderstanding in the bug handling: I
thought Slimdevices were handling the problem until it was fixed, and
Slimdevices was requesting me to QA, whathever that means.

Well, the problem is solved, that's all that matters...

I don't write code so I can't fix this. But I would like to know
"Exactly" what you are trying to do and what you feel needs fixed.

I have radio stations and Internet Radio saved in playlists. I also use
the Playlist to bookmark my most used stations with just a single entry
so I can pull them up from anywhere (Web UI, Controller, IR Remote). Do
these fail out from time to time? Yes they do, but very rarely is it the
fault of the SB3. It is because the URL changed or the stream died at
the radio station end, or the Internet was down.

So exactly what do you want to do and how are you trying to do it?

2008-06-19 Thread andlauer

Thank you Peter for your reply.

I do not quite understand what Nokia has to do with my original post,
the bug it refers to, or the way Slimdevices handles it.

I am glad you do not experience any problem with your playlists with
radio stations. Do you import them from iTunes? If you do, maybe the
problem is solved and neither I nor Slimdevices are aware of it. After
all I am asking for is, that the problem is solved.

Finally, I do not understand why I should resell my Squeezebox: all the
trouble would be on my side, none on the side of Slimdevices, and the
problem would not be solved.

Regards,

More seriously, yeah, I'm only in the 40k range, it's a bit cumbrous -

Nice, huh, that you can at least shout at the SD guys and be reasonably 
sure they'll actually read it? Be glad that they intend to fix it. Ever 
tried filing a bug with Nokia? Ever got any replies? No, I thought, so. 
You haven't even tried.

FWIW, I use playlists with radiostations (one) a lot, and I've had no 
such problems.
You can sell your duet on ebay for close to what you paid for it.

[slim] Duet Remote Cover

2008-06-19 Thread Wit'sEnd

Apologies if this is a dup. thread, but a cursory search didn't find
this topic...  I just got my squeezebox duet for Father's Day, and I
freakin' LOVE IT!  Setup  was a breeze.  I bought a range extender for
my Linksys WiFi on e-bay, because I have several sets of outdoor
speakers on my system and I want to use my remote at the pool--I know:
what a country!

But, at $300 for a replacement, I'm hoping to find a protective
pouch/sleeve/jacket/cover thingy for the remote--similar to what is
available for MP3 players, etc.  Couldn't find one from slimdevices on
their website, and was wondering if anyone knows A) if they're planning
one, and B) if there is a 3rd party one available.   Waterproof would be
too good to be true (we do a lot of drinking at the pool), but even a
bit of protection from splashes, drink spills, short drops would be
good.

Thanks for your input!

I have played with several recent G routers (linksys and others) and
the WRT54GL had identical range to the others in my experience.  (I
have played with swapping them around and used netstumbler to measure
the signal.)  Also, with the third party firmware you can pump up the
transmit power and increase the range beyond that of the others.  Based
on this, I settled on using the WRT54GL as it seems more reliable (got
sick of rebooting my router every few days).

Hello Patrick,
I use my "pause button" as a Mute. In your example does hitting pause
cause the stream to start over or continue from the point of the
Pause?

I have just always used the "Pause" button as a Mute button. I listen
to mostly local files and some Radio IO. With local files the stream
stops with Pause so the audio is muted completely because nothing is
playing. Hit Pause again and the music continues from where it stopped.

My main ripper is dBpowerAmp (switched from EAC). Its tagging has been
spot on 96% of the time. Out of the other 4%, 99.95% of that was cover
by using the Alt M function and checking what the other search programs
found.

Another nice feature if you have an All-in-One printer or scanner is
the ability to scan the cover art into the rip. I have used this
feature 4 times. I had a concern about quality using the sacn and there
is barely any difference between what gets pulled down vs a scan
(checked several CDs against AMG and a local scan).

So far I have been very happy with the switch to dBpowerAmp.

If you can ship them that fast how come that we here in Europe can't get

Re: [slim] Controller vs. Remote

2008-06-19 Thread ralphpnj

Aubuti,

I thought that my estimate of 6 hours was hyperbole, well maybe just a
bit :)

As far as the browsing is concerned, unlike you I have a rather large
collection (5,000+ albums) and it is a complete pain in the ass to
browse with the Controller although it is still light years ahead of
trying to do a search using the Controller. The thing is that I usually
use "search" to select the music I want to listen to. So I guess for the
time being I'll just have to place my SBs and Transporter so that their
displays are easy to read and they are within IR range of the remote.
I'll also have a look at the "Custom Browse" plugin. Thanks for the
heads up.

2008-06-19 Thread aubuti

agreed that search on the Controller is clumsy, although my estimates
are several orders of magnitude better than your 6 hour hyperbole (~15
sec on SBC vs. ~2 sec on IR remote). 

Browsing hasn't been a problem for me since they implemented the
acceleration, but maybe that's because my library isn't all that large
(340 albums and 200 artists). You might find Erland's "Custom Browse"
plugin useful. I haven't used it, but I understand you can set a top
level menu of [A-C] [D-F] [G-I] etc. and then drill down from there.

Out of interest dd-wrt supports all versions of the WRT54G/L/S.  For V5
hardware and newer it's a two step process, replace the VxWorks image
with a new boot loader and then use that to flash the dd-wrt image. 
You can even reload the original firmware on it.  I have a old v3.1
which has been  running dd-wrt for ages, never touch it, just keeps
working.

I just bought a Version 8.2 which I immediately upgraded to 
the latest dd-wrt v24 release.  Works great.  I use it as a client
bridge for an SB3 wired only.

[slim] Problem in Wireless Bridging

2008-06-19 Thread spinaltap

Before I purchased my SB, I successfully  connected my Yamaha RX-V2700
Network Receiver via cross-over ethernet cable to an Apple Airport
Express (that received streams from my Netgear router).

However, on connecting the Yamaha receiver to the SB via the same
cross-over cable (with the unit switched-on and set to 'Net'), and on
initializing the SB, the wireless bridging option does not appear on
the set-up menu. I have even tried a 'non cross-over' cable without
success.

Any thoughts/ideas on rectifying this situation?

[slim] Controller vs. Remote

2008-06-19 Thread ralphpnj

In the love fest which has surrounded the release of the Duet Controller
one thing seems to have been forgotten: the Controller's search function
is just about completely useless. It takes about 6 hours (+/- 2 hours)
to search for a single item: first one uses the scroll wheel to locate
the first letter, then it's back to the scroll wheel for the second
letter and so on until, after what seems like an eternity, one gets to
about the fourth letter and then one can actually scroll through a list
of matching items. Browsing via the Controller is also fairly lame since
first one has to scroll through all the other letters to get to letter
one actually wants. And yes I know that one can scroll both up and down
through the alphabet but what if one is wants to browse through the
letter M, then it makes no difference whether scrolls down through
a,b,c... or up through z,y,x..., it still takes forever, provided one
doesn't just blow past the letter M while in "fast scroll" mode because
then it takes forever squared.

Now contrast this rather poor behavior with that of the remote. Want to
search? Install the Lazy Search plug-in and one just enters the first
four or five letters via the alpha-numeric keypad and a short list of
scrollable (via the up & down arrows) choices appears. Want to browse?
Use the alpha-numeric keypad to quickly get to the letter one wants and
scroll (via the up & down arrows) to the choice one wants.

Seems like a giant leap backwards to me, unless one just loves to see
those 1" square full color covers.

Okay, so I'm being just a tad harsh here since with the Controller one
doesn't need to squint at the SqueezeBox/Transporter screen and one can
also control devices without having to be within IR range. Still I find
myself using the remote to find/select something to listen to and then
I use the Controller once I've made my selection. And of course since
the Receiver has no screen, one absolutely needs a Controller to
operate the Receiver.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

Personally I think it sucks and is pathetic that you cannot purchase a
replacement remote unless you live in the US or one of the locations
they'll allow you to purchase from via the website.  If you're not in
one of those regions Logitech couldn't give a FF about you.



I fully agree (Depending on what FF stands for)

It's not Logitech that is selling the remotes, it Slimdevices. LT would
probably not sell you one even if you are living in the states.

The Slimdevices online shop should be opened to the world again.
Relying on LT for customer service is asking for unsatisfied
customers..
  


That's sucks indeed. But how about sending teh defective remote in to be 
repaired?

Perhaps that avenue is still open? ;)

Re: [slim] Warning: Linksys WRT110 Rangeplus Wireless Router & Squeezebox

2008-06-19 Thread Sike

Ahhh the WRT54GL.. a timeless classic. Ugly as hell but highly
reliable.

Range is not that great as it's not a MIMO. 

Linksys made this device due to all of the custom firmware made for the
WRT54G, which was no longer supported by the WRT54G after version 4 of
the router (Version 5 of the router, they changed the OS to VxWorks and
no longer used linux)

Re: [slim] Is there a tool that can retreive all album art for my library of Flacs?

I'm very happy with Album Art Aggregator, it has a batch function, but
you have to check the results!

Re: [slim] Outoor Controller High-Contrast color scheme

2008-06-19 Thread indexit

They really need to make a controller that can be read in sunlight and
water resistant.  I like to listen to music out doors near the pool.  I
have an IPOD remote that is high contrast and can use with wet hands.  

So please guys make a controller that is usable outside, and doesn't
sink in a swimming pool.  And is readable.  In the sunlight the thing
is useless and pointless.
