Re: [slim] Angry about Tranporter + SqueezeCenter
I wish people would try to understand that much technology is at the forefront of the possible due to pressure from the very people who complain if things go wrong. Just as an example I recently spent three hours trying to find out how to reset and setup a modem/router. The security set up of the WAP facility wasn't obvious or explained in the manual. This task while very easy for someone familiar with the router involved wasn't in any way possible for the typical consumer. This is a simple modem router I also had a real problem with a similar pice of equipment because I didn't have the login password details of the web based gui. The punter thought i was some kind of wizard. I had tried several long calls to the help desk of the company concerned with little useful information picked up. my squeezebox experience has been completely different. As a fiddler i have broken my system many times, but ALWAYS someone has come to my aid even when my performance has been less than helpful. To all those complainers I would say one thing. Calm down, explain your problem in a concise and clear fashion and enjoy the bloody thing. -- mudlark SB3CyrusDACXPreXvsESPAudio P09B Active filterNAP140+260ARhapsody, Avondale and Naim cable, Kubuntu Hardy Heron server, linkstation for storage.

Re: [slim] Announcement: Mobile skin for iPhone, iPod touch, PSP, LG Dare, Samsung Instinct ...
Tmarti, Glad to see that you've brought the PSP skin back to life. I always found the standard handheld skin to be cumbersome to use on the PSP. I have one comment and a feature request/question: Noticed the pages do not align with the top of the PSP screen. It does, however, align (more like a slight scroll up) when clicking on the change settings at the bottom of the screen. Navigating back to the back-arrow and home buttons results in the screen scolling down again and creating the 10-pixel margin as noted earlier in the this thread. We use the Multi-Library and Custom Browse plugins enabling each family member to browse just their own music library. Is it possible to change the default configuration for the music library icon to reference all or a specific libraries configured via the Multi-library plugin. Or, maybe add a button that presents the current list of libraries?

Re: [slim] Networking challenge
Hi folks. I thought I would report back our results after trying the Netgear powerline equipment we already had. It works, but it wasn't without some struggles. The kit I had came with 1 ethernet bridge (wired to router) and 1 wireless range extender. At some point I had bought another Ethernet bridge. Originally we planned to use the wireless range extender out in the shed so he could use his laptop out there, but upon plugging it in we discovered it was completely dead (power light didn't come on). So plan b was to use the other Ethernet bridge on the shed side. That worked in our initial test just plugging the house one into the most convenient place for a test. But that was with an Ethernet cable running across the room, so we had to rearrange the way some things were plugged in for permanent placement. Then, when we had it plugged in where we thought would be best, he kept getting rebuffering on the Squeezebox. ARG. Next hubby went to every receptacle on that circuit, testing and replacing them. No good... still rebuffering. So then we rearranged some more plugs in the room so we could try it on yet another outlet. And that one works! But we had to unhook the network printer for the test since all the ports on my router are filled. So for that, we dug out an old Netgear hub that we still had hanging around and put the printer and powerline bridge on that. Everything still works with the hub... whew!

If the server is not reachable or doesn't respond to the WOL packet, then you will see the annoying message, but quite rightly so... something is wrong. I can see why the folks at Slim Devices wanted to get rid of the blank screen due to the difficulty of diagnosing issues for customers, but they forgot (or ignored) that this may be a regular use case. -- dsdreamer -- Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you... dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52451 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I know that there are many things that make this close to impossible to fully achieve. But once a company has decided it is not their ambition to strive for that goal, you can be very sure the ideal won't be even approximately achieved, and that if the market offers an alternative that seems to offer appliance-like simplicity and reliability -- good old free market economics will punish the non-achiever.

Re: [slim] Controller wireless problem (multiple access-points)
Hi again. As you can see I have changed the title of the message. This is actually worse than I expected. I can sit 2 feet from one access-point and the controller seems to want to connect to an access-point in the other end of the house. It, of course, fails all the time wanting me to try again. There seems to be no check of the strength of the access points it connects to. So the question is: 1) Is there any check of the strength? 2) Can I check on what channel the controller connects on? 3) If I turn off two of the access points and make the initial connection to the most central one, can I always expect it to connect to that specific access point in the future? Even though I have turned the other ones on again? 4) In Sweden we have one weeks open purchase. That is if the merchandise did not work as expected you can return it. Unfortunately I did not install it in the first week after purchase :-(. I actually did not expect these problems so I wonder if there is any global return policies?

[slim] Squeezecenter interface painfully slow... alternatives?
I've been a squeezebox owner for over 3 years, and have become increasingly frustrated with the software. The squeezecenter software is just embarrassingly slow, especially compared to the old slimserver software. I'm looking for suggestions (settings, plugins, anything?) that might improve my experience! I have over 500 CDs in my collection (all ripped to flac) and almost 10,000 songs. When I'm in the mood to listen to some tunes, here's what I do: open squeezecenter and browse by artist, drilling down sometimes by album and sometimes by track to build a playlist (by clicking on the 'add to playlist' button for an artist, an album, or a track) for shuffle play. I usually build a list of several hundred to 1000 songs that fit my mood. Problem is, the interface is so slow that once I have a decent number (100+)of songs in the playlist, and I add something else to the playlist, the whole interface freezes up for 10+ seconds to add the songs to the playlist before I can resume browsing my collection. It's pure frustration; it can take me 20+ minutes to build a decent playlist, the vast majority of time just waiting for the damn web interface to respond. In fact, just moving the cursor from entry to entry in the browse window of the interface, it takes more than 1 second for the entry to be highlighted with the '+' (add to playlist) button. This interface is an embarrassment, and the programmers should be fired. I cannot understand how anything can be this painfully slow running on multi-GHz modern CPU. What alternatives do I have to browse my collection, build a playlist, and control my squeezebox all in one interface? Has anyone built a 3rd-party interface with improved performance?

Steve, You're making some pretty large playlists - really from hundreds up to one thousand tracks? Sometimes by choosing tracks or albums individually? This must take a long time. And is a playlist of hundreds of tracks (literally, several days long) really useful to you? Maybe you should try one of the software approaches to playlists. I've come to enjoy Music IP Mixer. You'll find instructions on how to integrate it with Squeezecenter hereabouts. I didn't bother with that, it seemed like more work for not much gain. I just use from my PC and have it write playlists into a common playlist folder that SC also uses. Works fine for me, and I find it produces interesting playlists. It also helps me not overlook songs in my collection that I like but might forget about from time to time. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52592 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
