However, if they were to be split Deans split by product is the correct thing to do. Giving Transporter users and Audiophiles seperate forums would enable sensible Transporter owners to stay sane. Individual Duet and SlimCenter forums would be useful too. Creating one called networking would not work as virtually all the people who write in with networking problems don't realise they have networking problems.

[slim] Running SqueezeCenter on multi-user laptop
I'm planning on buying the Squeezebox Duet and running the SqueezeCenter software on my laptop, which is used by me and my girlfriend. We both have our own user accounts, and when switching the laptop, we always switch to our own user accounts using the Fast User Switching feature of Windows XP. Does the Squeezecenter software run compeletely in the background, so that there is no interruption in the music, when the user is switched? To clarify the scenario: 1. user A logs in (and SqueezeCenter is started) 2. user A starts playing music on the Duet 3. user A gives laptop to user B 4. user B logs in by clicking on his icon on the Welcome Screen of Windows XP, leaving user A logged in Is there a gap, interruption or does the music stop playing between steps 3 and 4? This is what happens using TVersity with PS3, for example.

I they dont they will die. And to be fair, they do support a wide range of distribution methods - FM, Long Wave and AM, DAB, DVB, Internet, iPlayer, Analogue TV, Sky TV, Freesat, Free view etc. the BBC are very forward thinking and progressive compared to others in that respect.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox 1 incorrect Now Playing display
This is bug 3751 (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3751) I've looked at the code and I can see why it does this. In the case of an SB1 (and only an SB1), and when not synced, SC will stream one track after another to the player without closing the streaming connection. At the time it starts streaming the next track, it looses track of what the previous track was (again, only for SB1s), although it knows that the next track has not yet started and hence does not start advancing the time-played counter. I have checked the code back to Slimserver 6.3.1 and it is the same so, although I have not tried running a pre SC 7 release to check, I cannot see how this would have worked before 6.5, as was claimed. I do not know why the code works the way it does in this regard. I do know that all this area of code has been rewritten for SC 7.3 and that this problem does not occur with the new code. -- awy awy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51167 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

goxboxlive;334823 Wrote: So it has a IR-emitter. Maybe in the future we will be able to control other HiFi equipment, such as amplifiers and cd players. No reason it can't, the IR emitter works just fine. In fact there is a test applet to use the emitter to control an older SB player. In order to control something else, you'd need software written. This is all open source, so anyone can dive in if they want. I believe LIRC http://www.lirc.org/ is being incorporated by a 3rd party developer, this is the foundation necessary for these things. LIRC has lots of configuration files available for a variety of devices. Applets for the SBC are written in Lua http://www.lua.org/ Unfortunately 3rd party developers haven't taken to it as easily as perl (the language SqueezeCenter is written in) so there aren't too many 3rd party applets. I really enjoy the squeezebox, but is there any way i can make it have static signal on the digital out? I like to control my volume via my preamplifier and not via the duet. Is there anyway to make the output signal (coax) static? Not sure what you mean by static? BTW in regards to the SD card, the SBC OS sees it as an ordinary drive. You can access SBC via a command line like any Linux computer and tell it to read from the drive. Yes, you could put music on it and retrieve the music easily. As for playing it, this might take a bit more work as passing the audio data is currently done by SC. This should still be the case with SqueezePlay, so retrieving the audio data from raw files on an SD card is a bit different and possibly more difficult. -- Mark Lanctot Make it so it doesn't suck is a good design target, but hard to implement - Michael Herger Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SqueezeCenter Disables Internet Connection
I have installed the latest SqueezeCenter a few times now. I thought everything was working great until I restarted my computer last night and the problem was back. It seems there must be some kind of conflict with SqueezeCenter and another program on my computer because after I install SqueezeCenter my internet connection slows to a crawl. The first time I installed SC, it actually disabled by network card. I couldn't even connect to the internet. I had to do a system restore to a date prior to installing SC. The reason I know it has something to do with SC is because I haven't installed anything else lately, and if I uninstall it, or restore to a date previous to its installation, my system runs perfectly. I am running Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, with Comodo Pro and NOD32. Other things I have installed are Spybot SD and Adaware (free version). I run all of them at least weekly. No problems have been found with viruses, malware, etc. I am on Cable, getting anywhere from 10-20 down and about 1 up. Using a Linksys wireless 4-port router.

Seems like this should be obvious, but I seem to have difficulty with it. I run SC on a headless HP MediaSmart server. When I need to restart SqueezeCenter, it never seems to work properly. I assume I must be doing it wrong. Using remote desktop, if I right click the tray icon and choose exit, it only exits squeezetray.exe and squeezecenter.exe remains running. If I go to services and choose to restart the service I get a message saying it did not respond in a timely manner and it stays running in task manager. Doing end process from the task manager doesn't seem like it should be the correct way to do it. It does work for stopping SqueezeCenter.exe, but then when I try to start it back up again from the desktop icon, it doesn't run and I end up restarting the whole server anyway.

Re: [slim] OpenDNS problems?
Hi JJZolx and MickeyG, Thanks for your input. Andyg, as you probably aware, MS update KB951748 fixed a huge DNS security flaw. The flaw was nothing new, and apparently was well know in the security community. To outline the flaw: Microsoft DNS server generates predictable DNS transaction IDs. If the server is configured to allow recursive queries it is possible to insert fake records in the DNS cache (DNS cache poisoning) by guessing the next transaction ID that the server will use and sending a spoofed DNS reply to the server. Alla Bezroutchko, Predictable DNS transaction IDs in Microsoft DNS Server May 2007 By observing these values of DNS queries over a period of time, the following patterns were noted: The DNS transaction ID always begins at 1 and is incremented by 1 for each subsequent DNS query; and the UDP source port of the query, which becomes the UDP destination port of the response, remains static for the entirety of a session from startup to shutdown. Ian Green reporting on research he did in 2005 for GSEC. (See recent ISC Diary Entry) Notice how all of those are similar? Each one has a common thread, transaction IDs are predictable. Now, look at the CERT advisory from July 8, 2008. The DNS protocol specification includes a transaction ID field of 16 bits. If the specification is correctly implemented and the transaction ID is randomly selected with a strong random number generator, an attacker will require, on average, 32,768 attempts to successfully predict the ID. Some flawed implementations may use a smaller number of bits for this transaction ID, meaning that fewer attempts will be needed. Furthermore, there are known errors with the randomness of transaction IDs that are generated by a number of implementations. Reading all of the documentation that CERT provides, even they tell you that this issue has been around for awhile now and is well-known to the security community. CERT has some suggestions to help with the DNS issue. The best one is the simple one, if your vendor has a patch for BIND, apply it. Microsoft released theirs yesterday (MS08-037). So who offers vulnerable DNS? CERT has a running list, most of them are unknown, but the confirmed vulnerable vendors are Cisco, ISC, Juniper Networks, Microsoft, Nominum, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems. Ok, with Cisco and Microsoft in the list you have a good deal of potentially vulnerable networks; add the others, and the numbers will only increase. However, does this mean the world will end now? No, all this means is that network engineers and administrators get to come in overnight and apply patches. Each of the vendors confirmed to be vulnerable to the issue, all seven of them, released patches at the same time. The flaw however, was not my point on posting my findings to you. I take it that the SC code uses API Calls directly through Winsock to resolve names, using ephemeral port range 1024-5000 with the old strategy (the incrementing and predictable one). Knowing that this method is flawed, surely you could act and try to tighten SC BEFORE MS do something about it? I think MS, Cisco et el were very worried about the DNS cache poisoning potential, therefore they worked together to release a fix on the same day. MS's fix even works with or WITHOUT the DNS Client component running, which tells you how serious MS were about acting on it. However, like you said, surely this is an OS problem then? Well, yes, I think it is. However, you, as a developer,(and other Internet software developments) first priority .. should be SECURITY! If SqueezeCenter is not able to maintain their Names resolver, maybe you could use Windows API gethostbyname(). At least then we know not only the right ephemeral port range is used but the DNS transaction ID entropy is improved also (Safer). Please take this post in the way it is intended. I am only trying to post my findings to you, and hopefully they are of some use. Many (most?) third party developers I presume, will be facing the same issue.
