[slim] Repetitive Scan Failures
Yesterday I moved my FLAC library to a new HP MediaSmart WHS EX475 2gb/4tb, this evening I decide to scan the library into a clean SqueezeCenter 7.2 and on five separate occasions now its failed. On every occasion the scan reaches roughly the one hour mark and then it states, as can be seen from the last screen grab that it has Finished Scanning when it clearly has not. The old library is scanned without any problems from my old desktop pc when stored on an external disk. I have also downloaded the latest 7.2.1 nightly and the problem still occurs. Could anyone offer some advice please, what should be a joyful play with a new toy is rapidly turning sour?

The main limitation with this in my opinion is: - You can't port SqueezePlay to third party hardware and redistribute it without permissions from Logitech. This kind of make sense since Logitech really only earn money on the hardware, so it isn't strange that they like to avoid competitors making money on their free software. The other limitations are more theoretical, sure it doesn't allow you to make and redistribute your own version of SqueezePlay but the number of persons willing to do that and spend time maintaining their own version are probably pretty close to zero anyway. When you think about it, the licensing is pretty logical. Most parts of SqueezeCenter is GPL but it can't be used with third party hardware players anyway so there is no reason to restricting the license. SqueezePlay would be possible to use with third party hardware similar to Controller, so restricting the license makes sense from a business point of view. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53757 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Best Harmony for SB3?
I bought a Harmony 1000 and send it back. I had to push a lot more buttons than on my Denon universal remote. The harmony 1000 also has a delay of about a second between button presses. Thats very irritating and it becomes even more so because it will queue the buttons pressed. Result, you either have to be patient (i'm not) or you select the wrong options (like the wrong language on a DVD in a laguage list). Hopefully the lower ranged harmony's work a lot better.

Re: [slim] The Microwave effect
I didn't encounter stuttering. The music would stop and the SBR would cycle through the lights showing it was reestablishing its connection with the server. The song would start from the beginning, and then just stop until it started playing from the beginning again. This would start minutes after the microwave was done and would continue until I cleared the playlist and started again. The controller is on the side of the SBR opposite the microwave. It never has a problem and is part of what gave me the idea of moving them apart a little bit. So the stuttering problem might be different than what I was experiencing. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

Re: [slim] Questions and hints to crossfade function in SC 7.2
I think the radio stations did it where the next song just started before the first one ended. Thinking back on when I used to listen to radio a lot, the fadeout would just be the fadeout of the song itself as it was on the record and the next song would be started prior to the first song completing. I used to find this really annoying because I was used to listening to a song to it's end. Some stations didn't do this and I found it refreshing. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

Re: [slim] The Microwave effect
The other day I noticed that the microwave was creating havoc with my Duet in the kitchen. It would just clobber it requiring me to clear out the playlist and start over again. I was reminded of a posting I made here boasting that my Duet was immune to the effects of my microwave. So I thought back on what had changed since then and remembered that I had moved the setup to another room for a party my wife was having with her friends from the MOMS club. It seemed like the problems started after that. I figured perhaps I didn't put things back exactly as they had been. As an experiment, I moved the microwave to the left about an inch and the duet to the right a couple of inches and voila! no more issues. A mere 3 inches of additional separation made the difference! I was pleasantly surprised. If you are having issues with the microwave causing interference, you might want to just add a little more separation - it may make all of the difference. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

Some locations (I believe the US govt. is one of them) will not allow new equipment into their data center that isn't IPv6 capable. If it weren't for this madate, we wouldn't be doing it.

However, NAT breaks with the general philosophy of all networked devices being directly addressable over the Internet. A day is invisioned where you will want to be able to address your toaster, coffee maker, and refridgerator from your hotel room over the Internet.

[slim] Confused about compilation album settings
I'm sorry but I have spent an hour looking for an answer to this and I'm sure it is simple enough but I'm darned if I can make it work properly. Here's the issue: On a compilation album like Pop Party 3, my FLAC file tags show the same album name for all tracks (good) and the actual artist name. This means that when I browse by artist and go to "any songs" I will see the tracks I have in my library from that artist, regardless of whether they appear on a compilation album or the artist's own album. That's good and the way I like it. The problem comes when I decide to browse by album. Then instead of seeing one entry for "Pop Party 3", I have 40 entries - one for each individual song - so it treats it as 40 different albums! I would like to just see it as one album when browsing by album but I would like the artist browsing behaviour to stay as it is. This can't be too much to ask... What do I need to set or change in the library settings or the tags? I have MP3tag for tagging. Also have dBPoweramp and various other bits of windows software.

[slim] Wireless Range Expander with Duet Controller
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this post -- there doesn't seem to be a dedicated "network issues" forum, so I guess general is as good a place as any. I've discoved that plaster walls combined with the chimney running through the middle of my house is not a friendly setup for WiFi. Or, at least it weakens the signals enough to cause problems for my SBC. In hopes of solving this, and to pave the way for getting WiFi out to the deck for a future Boom, I picked up a Linksys wireless range expander (WRE54G). This is mated with my Linksys WRTP54G -- one of their routers with VOIP built in. Both are using the same SSID and same WPA settings. They see each other and life is grand. But not quite. I had hoped that the WRE54G would just boost the signal throughout the house. But now I've come to understand (I think) that a WiFi device such as the SBC attaches itself to a particular access point. So if I'm close to my router when I turn on the SBC, it links itself to the router. And similarly, if I'm close to the range expander when I turn on the SBC, it links itself to the expander. But if I move from one side of the house to the other, the SBC doesn't roam with me -- it holds on to that original (now very weak) connection. Is there someway to make the SBC "wander" and grab the stronger access point's signal as I move throughout the house? If not automated, is there a way to manually force the controller to reconnect to the other AP without cycling the SBC's power? One other quick note, I have version 3 of the WRE54g which does not allow you to use a different SSID than the router's. Older versions allowed this, which could have been a potential (albeit messy) solution, but no dice. Any ideas? Or am I doing something obviously wrong with this configuration?

Re: [slim] Multiple Albums?
I too have had this problem. In the past, it's been differences in tagging, and fixing the tags has resolved it. Usually something like case mismatch (and vs And, for instance). Recently, however (and it may be since version 7.2, I can't be sure), I have seen the problem when there is no difference in the tags. A full rescan clears the problem, which surely wouldn't clear the problem if the tags were different. If there's any information I can gather if and when this happens again, I'd be glad to try.

A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53785 Question: Wired only Squeezebox is a good product? - Yes - No In the market SD/Logitech are pitching their players now, a wired only version doesn't make a lot of sense. It would cause additional confusion and it would be extremely difficult to get the additional retail shelf space for another variation. So it would be an online only product, limiting the appeal even more. *everything* is going wireless these days, I really can't see a wired only version happening again. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53785 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Moved my Music Library
Yesterday I copied my existing Music Library from an external drive to the shared music folder of my new HP MediaSmart EX475. All seems to have gone well, the two libraries are bit perfect but should I be worried about any FLAC file corruption? Excuse my ignorance but could the FLAC files have been corrupted in the move and if it is possible how do I check that my new library is ok. I have previously used the excellent Audiotester V1.6 but there is no Windows Home Server version. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

Re: [slim] Touchscreen integration?
I was going to post about this the other day but forgot :) Weirdly Play.com are one of the only places showing this at the moment. Not a retailer famed for being first. It's a shame this monitor isn't a touch screen, could have been an interesting device: http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/4-3-inch-usb-powered-monitor-asks-will-the-real-nettop-please-s/ -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51139 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Is an NMT skin possible?
Yep that is me. Scratch the swisscenter etc. I have them but they are not as good as squeezecenter and don't support everything i.e. ape etc. As I mentioned in the thread on networkedmediatank I am actually not looking to play the music through the NMT but only use the web browsing capabilities to control the squeezebox through squeezecenter. Classic, Ipeng and nokia skins (yes web based GUI probably written with php) area available through squeezecenter giving a different style web based GUI for displaying on different devices: http://:9000/classic http://:9000/ipeng http://:9000/touch etc Would be great to have one that works and looks nice on the NMT. Though I haven't tried all the existing one's to see if they work yet, so if anyone knows or has already tried I would love to know. Otherwise when I get the chance I will update here. -- trotsky10 trotsky10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Transporter stuck on "Now Playing" / Nothing with Squeezecenter 7.2/7.3

With 7.2 or 7.3 installed, the remote just doesn't work. Basically the Transporter will not go to the Home menus, it is stuck on "Now Playing" thus you cannot access your music library. I've done multiple install attempts, including clean ones after reboots and manual purging of any Slim/Logitech registry entries, but the problem remains. This is definitely a bug though it may be restricted to the combination of Transporter + Squeezecenter 7.x running on Vista x64. I'd revert to Vista x32 but I have 4gb of RAM installed and would lose almost one fourth of it with 32 bit OS. I am starting to look into NAS for my music files. -- ekovalsky ekovalsky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20252 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53669 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Questions and hints to crossfade function in SC 7.2
Hi CPS! I agree that there needs to be a crossfading option to start new songs at 100% volume, just as good OLD Winamp (and, like, every radio station in the world) does ;) There is a bug report 'here' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1403) that addresses this issue.
