Having a large number of upcoming tracks showing lets you remove them well in advance, and makes for some interesting playlists if you just keep songs that go along with the theme, or somehow lead into the next.

Re: [slim] Rhpasody not playing
Okay, this is a little weird, but maybe another piece of the puzzle will help solve this. I normally set the "music source" for my duet to be the computer that I have all of my ripped music on. I'm running SqueezeCenter on this computer. Everything has been working fine. Until now when Rhapsody stopped working. But if I connect to the SqueezeNetwork as my music source, Rhapsody works fine. But of course then I can't get to my ripped music library on my computer, so this is an annoying long term solution.

Re: [slim] bye squeeze, hello ipod
Ok, I am long time SB owner/lover and the new remote and my existing AppleTV will NOT be replacing my SB... yet. I have a friend who i have been trying to get to retire his Audiotron (my last true love) and upgrade to SB. But now, he is very intersted in iphone airport express solution. The iphone remote is truly fantastic, its extremely fast, simple, you would think you were just using your ipod. BUT - (showstopper) the only real issue i think is that, unlike using your ipod, you have no way to make a playlist "on-the-go". I can browse my existing playlists, all of my music, play an individual song, etc, but I can't sit there and queue up songs (or then edit my queue) etc. (BUT ++) Negative on the SB: my music server crashes all the time. Slimserver.exe is at the center of the crash logs, but i DO not blame slim. I'm sure i have some bad RAM or something in that P.O.S. server and i dont want to spend the time or money to 'fix' it. Sadly my server goes down every 5 days or sofor the past year and then music is down. Hard reboot brings it back... but wife blames the SB and then starts to blame me. BUT... i love Last.fm, i dont want to lose that feature. Its not impossible for AppleTV to partner as someone said (they do it with Flickr and Youtube), but I would not hold my breath. I THINK - where I sit now is that I'm going to go upstairs and reboot my server again, install the latest IPENG skin - AND - put the RCA output of my apple TV into my whole house audio system, so i can get optical to the reciever (as it does now) and RCA to the multi-zone whole house. This way, if i dont care about a queue and i just want to play something fast and easy... iphone will rock it. -- jharo jharo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Artwork with controller???
Itunes keeps all of the artwork in a separate folder from the individual music files and that is why it is not showing up on your controller.

[slim] SBC Search hangs SC, SBR, SB, Transporter
Hi Developer and Slim Device User,
I use a Receiver+Controller (Duet), SB3 and a Transporter with latest
SC 7.1 (The Problem occurs also on previous versions) on a Win XP SP2.
With SB3 and Transporter there where no problems to search on Title in
a round 80. Title Music Library (MP3/AIF).
When I first include the SBC to the network of other "SB's" it was
normaly included into the system and raw functionality was ok.
The problem starts when I start a title search with SBC eg. "who" which
returned many entries. (For SC, SB3 and Transporter the same search does
not make any problem)
I also tried different new versions of SC and updating SBC, but same
false results. With this or other searches with huge search results it
hangs all devices including SC on the XP.
Is there any limitation of library size for SBC when making a search?
Thanks for your help !
Protocols of SBC messages after searching (which hangs SBC, SBR,
Tranporter and SC):

[slim] Where has "No sync" gone?
I have 3 SB3s, and regularly run one synchronised with SqueezeSlave (yeah, I know the performance sucks, but what can I do? - just have to wait till someone writes some decent software!). Sometimes I get a second SB3 to join this sync group. But when I want that second SB3 to LEAVE the sync group, there's no "No synchronisation" option in the SB3's menu! I have to go to the server and de-sync it using the SqueezeCenter menu. I'm sure "No synchronisation" used to be available from the SB3 itself. What's happened to it?

Re: [slim] Remote streaming
I am able to get to the squeezecenter web page external to my network, after having opened the 9000 port on my router and directing it at my SC machine. I am even able to admin it remotely, but I have never been able to stream external to my network. It works fine inside my network, by softsqueeze, by Winamp, etc, but getting it to go outside the router it just doesn't work. I cannot connect, and I never get the drop down in the web page to show another player. The closest I have come is putting the url with the stream.mp3 at the end into a web browser, as if I were going to download the mp3 itself, and it did put the drop down in the list, with the name of the browser, and an IP address, but obviously it was not streaming anything, as the browser just thought it was trying to download a file. But I cannot get Winamp to stream it, or anything else. Not even softsqueeze will pick it up, it will just sit there and look at me, trying to connect. I looked for this settings/players/audio/proxy that was mentioned in a previous post, but could not find anything other than setting up a proxy for the server to attach to under Squeezecenter settings/network/proxy. I am assuming for the other to work properly, you probably have to actually be able to connect with a remote streaming app first. -capT -- captain_tinker captain_tinker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12518 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47865 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter Favorites Sub Folders
The way the favorites folders work at the moment is pretty unusable and ridiculously low-tech. They should work like the playlist, drag and drop really. If this isn't possible then at least some mechanism to get new favorites direct into folders is required the concept of deleting a favorite, then navigating to the folder, then clicking on the spuriously-designed 'insert deleted item xyz' is a totally alien and non-intuitive concept which makes squeezecenter favorites no good other than for grouping a few internet radio URL's. -- magicpocket magicpocket's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18924 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Which Random Mix do you use most often?
A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50180 Question: Which Random Mix do you use most often? - Random songs - Random artists - Random albums - Random years - No preference, I use several more or less equally For me, random songs. For background listening this mixes it up quite a bit. The real control is in the genre selection. I have very little use for random artists. No sense in queueing up all 20 Van Morrison albums or even the 3 Megadeth. That's _way_ more Megadeth than I can take in one sitting and it would take too much skipping to make listening like this useful. Random albums is better, but for casual background listening I'd seldom want to listen to whole albums. If I'm going to listen to 45-60 minutes of a single album then I'd just as soon pick one out myself. Again, it would take a lot of skipping to make this useful for me. If you could easily skip albums instead of tracks, then it would be better. Random years can be fun, and is 2nd on my list of preferences. Unlike artists and albums, it mixes songs by different artists. The trouble with it is that it can easily hit on a year with just one or very few albums, and then you're not much better off than with the random album or artist mixes. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50180 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

While we are talking electrics The latest regs for elecs in the UK are pushing towards radial rather than ring circuits. The advantage of the ring main is that the load is reduced on the wire (ie. the chances of it going up in flames ;) as the power can go either way around the ring, to that meaty 5kw fan heater. You will normally have a number of radial circuits already, one for your hot water cyclinder, one to your cooker etc. So its not that much different and is cheaper for house builders companies. A spur takes its power from a ring main, so its affectively part of a ring main, though you shouldnt spur from a spur unless you fuse it correctly. Note builders being builders, if you have an extension added to your house, rather than rip up the floor to continue the ring main, they will look in the ceiling and drop a spur from your upstairs ring main, so one end of your room may indeed be on a different ring main. Finally dont forget the Part P "gravy train", that you need to be registered to be messing with some of your electrics anyway.. Though when you move house normally the most you will be asked to have done by the mortgage company is a visual check of the consumer unit if you dont have a certificate.

This moirning I brought my squeezebox duet over to a friends house to ausition at his house after weeks of bragging about how the duet was man's highest technical achievement to date. The setup process went flawlessly or so it seemed. We were able to bring it up on his wireless network after entering the WEP key, and we were able to play some tracks that I had on my laptop (I had to rip a CD to the laptop, I normally don't keep any music locally I just stream Rhapsody). When we tried to select Music Services>Rhapsody>My Library we selected a track that is supposed to be in that library and tried to play it... when this happens it gives a brief splash where the duet controller says that it is 'getting track info' after which it disappears and then nothing happens. Eventually I end up pushing the home button (bottom left of scrollwheel) until it shows the home or now playing screen where it shows the track, the time elapsed with progress bar and the album art. ODDLY enough it shows the track as "Stopped" here but I can't get any further. I am about to jump out a window here... Any one experience this?

In the US, does the connection done for a 220 circuit (like > for an electric dryer) afford a pathway for the homeplug signal? X10 devices have the same problem, albeit at much lower frequencies. And indeed, turning on an electric dryer or range (causing the load to create a path between the two phases) is a good way to test whether signal integrity could be improved by a coupling device. Often just a capacitor is all you need. You can get "passive couplers" that plug into a dryer outlet, like this: http://www.smarthome.com/4816a2.html They might help with homeplug too. Unless you install such a coupler, the signals have to get across either by capacitive coupling in the wiring and breaker panels, or perhaps by making it all the way back to the distribution transformer. That doesn't work very well for X10, and I'd expect it to work even worse for homeplug. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50082 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I agree that there should be a way to update firmware via SC. I never use the remote. I never see my 2 squeezeboxes. The whole system is controlled via browser.

Re: [slim] Nevo S70 - Slimserver
Hi, those nevo remotes (Q50 + S70) are running a closed down Windows Mobile OS, this includes a browser (S70 only, probably a Mobile-IE) but certainly not the ability to install own software - not to mention a complete server like SC! concerning controlling a remote SC: I think the Handheld theme should work better than the Nokia one, because it better suites the format of the S70 display (portrait instead of landscape)...

Re: [slim] Problem with itunes playlists
Well I still can't get it to work! What am I doing wrong? First of all my playlists work fine in itunes, so it's reading the xml file ok. That file is in the itunes music folder, above the folder that actually contains the music files. There's an itunes music library.xml and an itunes library.xml in the folder. I directed the path of the xml file in the squeezecenter settings to the itunes music library.xml file directly, not just the folder it's in. I'm not sure what to do under general settings for music location. I also have to put the itunes music folder and playlist path in there too even though the path is also under the itunes tab in the settings? Someone said something about the xml file having to be in the default location. Where is that? My itunes library file and music are on my main hard drive with my OS.

Re: [slim] Powerline network question.
That's really going to depend on what type of UPS you have, and how you have it set up. For the homeplugs to keep working they must all be on a UPS, plus homeplugs are very sensitive to being blocked by cable breaks and other electronics. For example, I have a pair I used between my router and my cable modem, and if I plug one or other of them into a simple extension lead, they completely cease to talk to each other. Based on this my feeling is that unless you whole house is on a UPS, you are unlikely to be successful. However, it may be possible to set things up in a way that it can operate. -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50158 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Besides it being risky, you'll have to make the same correction, which will be boring and labor intensive, every time you do a rescan.
