Re: [slim] Logitech Squeezebox Boom?
Back to the topic : Boom Hmmm, it's a good start. But as mentioned it could use batteries (but we have seen various problems with the controller and power save that don't have to be adressed if the player have to be connected to power). Next it stille req. a server where the music is stored (could probably be connected to SqueezeNetwork, MP3Locker).

SqueezeCenter can not playpack music by itself, only control playback on attached players such as a Squeezebox, Duet Receiver, Transporter, or software players. SoftSqueeze is a software player provided by SqueezeCenter. You can find it in the Extra menu in SqueezeCenter. It requires Java to be installed on the machine you want to her playback on. I.e. not necesarily on the machine running SqueezeCenter. In order to use it just fire up the webinterface as you usually do and to to the Extras menu. It's pretty self-explanatory from there.

[slim] Where have support staff gone re: controller issue questions?
There does seem to be a much reduced level of interest from developers/support staff where Controller/network issues are concerned - we don't even get suggestions as to what logs could be gathered which may help pinpoint the issue, in fact we get pretty much nothing at all which is very unlike the old days. In the recent past I have been guilty of suggesting that Conbtroller network problems were due to duff routers not implementing PSM correctly, but now that I have a Controller which fails to work with a known-good PSM implementation that clearly isn't always the cause of these problems. My Controller has had to be returned due to a faulty button, but when I get a replacement and it continues to have problems I'll open a support ticket by email (no way am I making a transatlantic phone number to discuss faulty software, which would cost me a fortune). However the apparent lack of interest in Controller/network bugs from Slim Devices on the forums is quite worrying - perhaps it's the influence of Logitech. I even added to a bug in bugzilla, which has been ignored. One thing that did make me laugh - this morning I received a boiler plate email from Michael Valera asking me to fill in a customer questionnaire regarding my Duet purchase, starting out with We hope you are enjoying your purchase etc. Well guess what Michael, no I'm f*g not! :) -- Milhouse Milhouse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=928 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50675 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Stop the bloatware madness!
Not commenting on the performanace of SC as opposed to any other software, but as someone who fondly remembers the days of Spectrums, TRS80s and the BBC Micro (still in my attic!), I can't help but recall some of the quite amazing games (eg Elite), spreadsheets, databases etc that packed a huge amount into 16 or 32k of ram.

[slim] Multiple copies of the same song, and other library issues.
I've got some library management issues, and maybe folks can help: What's the best way of having multiple copies of the same song around? Here's the scenario: I've got multiple copies of files around. For example, I ripped a CD in FLAC and then transcoded to MP3 for the iPod. But not all my MP3s are available in FLAC. So I would love to have a way to be able to tell SC Hey, look in /FLAC *and* look in /MP3. But if you find the same song/album/whatever in both places then don't bother with the one in /MP3. Now even if SC could do this I'd have another problem: I've got SC right now using my iTunes library. (I know I could rip to Apple Lossless, but I don't want to for a few reasons, one being that my Denon AVR can't play it, but it can play FLAC.) This is great with smart playlists and the like. However, obviously to do the above I'd need to not do that anymore and just scan through all my music...but I like my iTunes playlists. Can I just keep them? If anyone is in a similar dilemma and has advice, let me know. -- Meatwad650 Meatwad650's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50791 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Good move - instead of a small few people complaining it has no battery, you would have a huge amount of people complaining it had a terrible battery and was too big/heavy. Yeah when I saw it had a VFD I gave up on battery, just wishful thinking. While VFD is great for display it is not so nice on power. If you could manage the VFD power requirements via auto-off quickly cause in this environment the display is not so important. Then the wifi and an efficient amp cause really does this type of device need a high-end power hungry amp, heck I would have been happier if they went the Tivilo(sp?) approach and did a mono speaker with the option to add a speaker, cause stereo on 2 speakers 6inches apart really does not work so well. So now, reduce the amp load and display load you just have the wireless for big draws. If you use D cell batteries you probably could get some decent play times. Course like you said, how many times would you really need batteries. Only time I can think is on the Deck, or while I am washing the car.

[slim] End of the road for my SLIMP3 - Please say not...
I've been a massive advocate and fan of all things Slimdevices ever since first purchasing my first SLIMP3 way back when. I've followed the developments, now run a SB1, SB2, SB3 and Duet system all from my Thecus N5200BR Pro NAS (thanks Omega). Now to the point, it is a sad day for me. My SLIMP3 has stopped intercepting infrared commands from the standard Slimdevices remote control handset (I've tested it with 3 remotes, and they all work with the SB1, SB2 etc). The SLIMP3 box just sits there trying to find a now defunct Slimserver, which is on a differnet LAN subnet to my current operational setup. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reset the SLIMP3(so as to automatically pickup my current LAN settings), or better still have any idea about the Infrared not working? I can't bear the thought of this little bit of streaming media history being relegated to the back of a cupboardIt deserves a second chance! I mean, Andy didn't give up on Sheriff Woody.

But all is not lost as the bug only shows if you switch between WEP and WPA/WPA2 encrypted access points without doing a factory reset on the SB3 first. Therefore I suggest you try a factory reset on your SB3, by holding down the (+) button on your remote while powering it up. After that you should be able to enter the WPA2 key.

CatBus;327100 Wrote: Okay. http://www.hushtechnologies.net/ Admittedly I have a slightly older Core2Duo B3 myself but if their quad-core design (B4 model) is remotely similar--and all the specs indicate it is--then it doesn't even have a fan in the power supply. And I still have mine running in a closet in a room across the house, because of the very slight whisper-hum of the 2.5 HDD. Sure there's a price premium. But to be perfectly honest you don't even need a Core2Duo to run a media server, let alone a quad-core, so we're already talking about spending more than you technically need to. Heck I have a Phenom 9500 running virtually silent if you disable the harddrives. Hard drives are much harder to isolate noise from. The machine is not fanless, however I am using 2 of these fans http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0266398 And a sychte mini-ninja cooler using 1 of the above fans in place of the stock. I even have the fans running at full tilt and you can not hear them. Problem with running any machine completely fanless is other parts of the system expect to have some airflow. Things like the voltage regulators expect to get a little bit of air movement off of the cpu cooler. A motherboard with passive cooling on the northbridge expects some air movement, in fact some makers even say in the manual if you water cool the machine you need to put a fan on certain parts. The quad machine I have above is in my living room, it is my HTPC. Only sounds I can hear are the fan whirl of the harddrive which can only be heard if you listen for it when everything else is silent. -- m1abrams m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Lot's of holes and a bit of convection help here. I've got A Via C7 1.5GHz in a small case that does the trick, haven't seen any intel machines that would do the trick. Another alternative is Heat Pipes but then you have to make sure all elements is the system are connected to these. Forget about high power machines for this. Funny enough I have NO problem at all with the HD. It's in a fully closed external SATA case and you do NOT hear it spin. You hear it when it reads or writes data. In idle mode the most noisy part of the system is actually the power supply (no fan, the transistors and inductors). put it in a different room from your SB is not an option, I've got an SBx in every room except for the bathroom and that one is too wet for a server. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have same problem with 7.1 (official) and 7.0.1 (it worked in some cases, but mostly did not) on Windows XP (Czech locale). I do not have any antivirus running, it is clean install (updated with latest Windows update patches). I am not able rescan anything on the network drive, although I see all files in the Music folder menu (and can play them). Network share is mapped to drive Z:, but it does not work even referred by UNC path (\\server\share), although I can see and play files in both cases using Music folder. Interesting is that 7.1 (the rest is about 7.1 version) scans 2 example music files installed on local drive (in Documents/Music/Examples folder - don't know exact name, it is localized in my instalation), which is choosen as playlist folder. And more interesting, it scans them even if I put playlist folder into another location (like E:/test, existing empty directory) and clear library and rescan. Another thing is that if I play album using Music folder menu, it appears in the library. In the scanner log appear some error messages, I remember only something about readonly namespace, followed by stack trace. Another interesting information could be the system drive is E. Also I see some glitches with unicode folder names (localized Application Data folder name), but I am unsure if it causes any problems.

On a Linux box I use curl or wget - use quotes arounf the URL example: curl http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=1025filename=playlist.pls; -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50558 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Food for wireless thought
Yup, the 2.4GHz band is a mess. I keep meaning to pick up a wi-spy 2.4x device so I can do site surveys. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50819 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Food for wireless thought
Yes wireless is a bit of Black Magic at the moment but there are things you can do to help it. -Construction Materials play a big part in reception strength. Steel studs, concrete, fireplaces, and brickwork are all poor materials for running a wireless network around. Steel reflects signals and confuses the heck out wireless. Dense stuff like concrete blocks the signal. Do a survey first - will it work where I am? - A good UPS or power filter. The filtering of line noise can help a lot. I have a wireless system set up for my mother in law and there are 27 visible networks where it is but it works just fine. -Get rid of any phones etc. in the 2.4 gig range, period. (and don't give the spread spectrum one to your neighbor - don't ask how I know.) -Spring for a new microwave. They are not all that expensive any more and better shielding and less line noise helps . -Place the AP or Router above the receivers if possible. The pattern of radiation from the antennas makes for better reception below than above. -Get a better antenna for your AP. A coathanger is better than most stock antennas which are no more than a 3 piece of wire inside a molded piece of plastic. Flat panel antennas work great for poorer reception situations as they can be directed toward the client. Always be prepared to wire your network. Wireless is a radio signal and under certain conditions it will not work properly. -- tedfroop tedfroop's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3011 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50819 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] CLI / Playlists - guidance please
I'd go with the status query. You can tweak tags to only get what you want (can make a considerable difference in response time). But it's a one time round trip. It's what we're using to keep the web UI up to date. If you can reproduce the issue about the count you should file a bug report on http://bugs.slimdevices.com - thanks!

Re: [slim] iPhone application
Yea, completely agree to the volume control issues. On iPneg SKIN this being on the overlay was owed to the fact that you are missing a row dow to the bottom browser bar. If you are interested in the UI discussion, I think the wiki on https://penguinlovesmusic/trac/ipengnat is openly accessible and has at least MY thoughts about UI in it. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50324 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
