Re: [slim] FLAC format for videos?
DVDs are different from CDS. What you want to do it just rip them without any additional encoding or compression. I have all my DVDs ripped whole to a large NAS box. The two main ways of doing it is to either rip to a ISO disk image or in IFO file mode where the files on the hard drive are the same as the files on the DVD. I went for the file mode. There are -loads- of guides and lots of information on this on other dites compaired to here.

Re: [slim] FLAC format for videos?
Its a good question, and something that I have not been able to find a simple solution to for a couple of years. However, in the interim I have been ripping my DVDs to full size ISO images. This ripping process gets rid of the encryption and removes macrovision and region restrictions and other such annoyances, without further compressing the MPEG2 stream or transcoding to a different format. I say further compress, because the DVD source material is already compressed using a lossy algorithm. The full sized ISOs are the closest thing to FLAC+CUE for CD ripping because you can recreate the original DVD without additional loss from these, or convert them to different future formats as they become available. You can directly watch these on Win/Mac/Lin using VLC or some similar program or by mounting the ISO and using the default DVD player. An increasing amount of hardware devices support direct playback of DVD ISOs from local/attached drives or over the network. Unfortunately support for direct ISOs is not nearly as ubiquitous as support for xvid/divx/avi files or h.264/mp4/mkv files which are the more common formats for video files. -- Nikhil Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53287 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox Controller static IP. How?
Thanks Slimdevices team for the great product! I need to assign static IP address to Squeezebox Controller. Reasons: 1. I'm not running DHCP server in my network 2. SBC will wake up from sleep faster since it doesn't have to obtain DHCP address. In fact 6 seconds faster in my setup. 3. it may help to eliminate SBC GUI freeze of wheel unresponsiveness when navigating through menus and suddenly it is time to renew DHCP lease. 4. it is easier to track devices with static IPs 5. I just want to know if it is possible to do this I enabled SSH on SBC, SSHed in and looked around. It looks like I just need to modify two files. In /etc/network/interfaces I need to replace iface myssid inet dhcp script /etc/network/udhcpc_action with iface myssid inet static address static IP address network network address netmask network mask gateway default gateway IP address script /etc/network/udhcpc_action And I need to put DNS server IP address into /etc/resolv.conf Is this right approach to achieve what I need? How to stop DHCP client since we don't need it anymore? Will these setting be preserved through SBC firmware upgrade? If everything goes sour would SBC factory reset restore these files? I would appreciate Slimdevices folks response or anyone who is familiar with Busybox setup. I saw lots of posts here asking about how to assign static IP to SBC but no real solution yet.

Re: [slim] FLAC format for videos?
If you want lossless video then look about for the HUFYUV codec. Converting MPEG-2 video into HUFYUV is pointless though, even more of a wast than converting and MP3 to FLAC. You gain nothing and it just uses a lot more space. Ripping to ISO or ifo is the best solution. You don't loose any quality, and you end up with reasonable file size.

[slim] Squeezebox with HDD?
Any chance that future version of the Squeezebox products would include a hard drive, similar to a DVR? My thinking is that this could be beneficial in a few ways: 1 - No computer required to run SqueezeCenter, just run it directly on the device. 2 - Could support services like Rhapsody-To-Go. This would be super cool for the Boom: the ability to unlock it from the constraints of being on a network and take your music with you. 3 - Store your music collection directly on the device. Instead of having to stream your local music from another computer on the network (which has to be powered on,) the SB could serve as the host. I'm sure I'm not the first to have this idea, but a quick search of the forums didn't turn anything up so I thought I'd throw it out there.

I've got 3 SBRs, 1 Boom, and 1 SBC. They were working great up until about a week ago, and I've made no changes...

They're all wireless, and while I know that can be an issue, the SBC never loses connectivity to the network, and 2 laptops don't have any issues.

What are you pressing Play on? If I press Play on the words All Songs then I get what you expect, it queues up all the tracks and that appears both on the SB3 in Now Playing and on SC7. If, however, I press Play on the first track (i.e. I press right from All Songs and then press Play) it only plays that first track. What I can't reproduce is the different playlists between SB3 and SC - my only guess here is that you're confusing the list of songs shown under All Songs and the actual Now Playing list?

Re: [slim] Slim::Plugin::CLI::Plugin::cli_process (627) Request [artist] failed with error: Bad.
I found the problem. I just realized I am using something that calls the CLI very 5 seconds. The developer's response when I asked for him to fix this problem is below. Any chance you can make a little change in the next nightly build to keep it quiet during the below query: Michael, It's a bug in squeezecenter. SlimPlayer plugin issues the following CLI commands repeatedly (5 seconds apart): playerid artist ? If the current playing stream is a remote stream (internet radio) then squeezecenter will fail on the artist ? command and log an error in server.log. The CLI api does not state this command is only allowed when non remote streams are playing, so I consider this to be a bug in SC. In this case the artist ? query should probably fail silently. -- mkanet mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53110 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Pandora Saved...
I'm not so sure. What I've read (including at thomas.loc.gov) suggests that this bill merely allows individual webcasters like Pandora to keep trying to negotiate royalty deals with the record industry up until next February. IF they do negotiate such deals, they can then pay the rates they've negotiated instead of the new rates that SoundExchange wants. If they fail to negotiate by next Feb, they pay the SoundExchange rates (== go out of business, they say). Any other webcaster that isn't covered under last week's 10.5% deal (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2331001,00.asp -- meaning SOMA FM, Live365, etc.) will also be stuck with the much higher SoundExchange rates if they fail to broker their own deals. Last week's 10.5% deal seems much more newsworthy than this new legislation. And since I mainly listen to (and support) smaller webcasters like SOMA FM that are not covered under last week's deal, this new legislation offers no relief.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Controller static IP. How?
I'm fairly certain that your DHCP server will have to be shut down while you set it up for static IP. After that, your controller (barring factory reset) will not try to use DHCP if it's configured for static IP. Assumption #2, quicker wakeup from sleep, should be correct. Xclnt idea at optimizing that...I know that wakeup time is a nit for a lot of people (I get around it by always cradling mine). Assumption #3 I don't believe holds a lot of water, unless you have things configured so DHCP leases expire really frequently, which I wouldn't recommend anyway. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'

Re: [slim] Google Chrome new browser
Anyone know what could be causing this? Seems to be due to a bug in Chrome which is already fixed: I just downloaded Iron (a browser based on Chrome, without the Google data sniffing stuff) which uses a slightly newer version of Chrome's rendering engine. http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_chrome_vs_iron.php This does work just fine with SC and password protection. Either the newer rendering engine or the removed sniffing features fixed Chrome ;-). I'd assume a later Chrome version will be fine.

This could be an issue of interpretation. Once selected, SS/SC do treat the CUE file as a playlist. However, such files are not automatically included in your list of playlists.

Re: [slim] MusicIP - definitive install instructions for 7.1/7.2 (inc. headless)?
I add new music to my library. I open the MusicIP program and make sure it analyses the new music and adds the MusicIP tags to the files.. You don't need to run archive analysis to add tags to the files. Are you running MusicIP headless, or just get SqueezeCenter to connect to the MusicIP GUI directly? If headless, you need to reload the cache after using the MIP GUI to analyse new music. I open Slimcenter web gui and Browse Music Folder to add the new music to a playlist (i.e. to get it added to my SlimCenter database). I wouldn't depend on Browse Music Folder to add music to the database. That doesn't do a full scan, I believe. The new music is still not MusicIP mixable (Question 1: why?) I guess the MusicIP plugin is not called to do a scan when you browse music folder. Without my patch, it would have refetched the whole MusicIP library content and merged it into SC each time, if it were to perform the MusicIP scan too. I then initiate a Scan: Look for new and changed music only. Why not do the new/changed files scan before browsing the library to add music to a playlist? Music IP Import scans every single directory in my library. (Question 2: Why doesn't it just scan directories/files that have a changed time/date?). Sounds like my modified MusicIP plugin has not been installed correctly, or you have ticked the Read Song Data checkbox. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
