Re: [slim] Artwork Display
> - (same question as above) get player state
SqueezeJS.Controller.playerStatus - it's an object (or hash) with the following
items:
playerStatus = {
// if power is undefined, set it to on for http clients
power: (response.power == null) || response.power,
mode: response.mode,
rate: response.rate,
current_title: response.current_title,
title: response.playlist_tracks > 0 ?
response.playlist_loop[0].title : '',
track: response.playlist_tracks > 0 ? response.playlist_loop[0].url
: '',
index: response.playlist_cur_index,
duration: parseInt(response.duration) || 0,
canSeek: response.can_seek ? true : false,
playtime: parseInt(response.time),
timestamp: response.playlist_timestamp
};
It doesn't deliver the full list of track information. This is queried every 5
seconds, then passed to the UI elements.
> - get track duration
Doesn't exist (yet). The following would do:
SqueezeJS.UI.PlaytimeDuration = Ext.extend(SqueezeJS.UI.Playtime, {
onPlaytimeUpdate : function(playtime){
if (this.el && playtime)
this.el.update(SqueezeJS.Utils.formatTime(playtime.duration));
}
});
Will add it if it is what you were thinking of.
> - get track title without track number
This currently doesn't exist. Needs a change in the parser.
> - get track number
SqueezeJS.UI.TrackNo = Ext.extend(SqueezeJS.UI.Component, {
onPlayerStateChange : function(result){
this.el.update(result.playlist_loop[0].tracknum ?
result.playlist_loop[0].tracknum + '. ' : '');
}
});
> - get album name without year
SqueezeJS.UI.AlbumTitle = Ext.extend(SqueezeJS.UI.Component, {
onPlayerStateChange : function(result){
this.el.update(SqueezeJS.SonginfoParser.album(result,
this.noLink));
}
});
> - get album year
SqueezeJS.UI.AlbumYear = Ext.extend(SqueezeJS.UI.Component, {
onPlayerStateChange : function(result){
this.el.update(SqueezeJS.SonginfoParser.year(result,
this.noLink));
}
});

That's beyond the scope of this mail... take a look at slimserver.css. Styles

Don't have an answer for this right now. All the defined components listen to
the status query, which is about the currently playing track only. You'd
probably have to overwrite the base class SqueezeJS.UI.Component, which adds
the listener. Not an easy change I guess.
> - display playlist controls
Like fwd/rwd? They're covered in the tutorial. What else?
I'll add the above components to 7.3. Until then you might want to add them to

Hi sand, maybe the server power control plugin might be of use http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 I use XP on my servers, and have this plugin to automagically switch the Squeezeboxes to Squeezenetwork when I power off the server via the SB remote. It will also shut down and switch to SN after a definable period of inactivity on the SBs. You can specify the shutdown/sleep/hibernate etc state of the server from the plugin settings. I'm not sure if it would work with your NAS and it may depend on it's OS. I have different fonts/savers on the boxes for SN and SC so I can tell at a glance whether the server is off or not.

Re: [slim] Problem with accented characters in playlists
Another problem with accented characters in playlists: This morning I performed a full rescan of my library, and this evening I noticed that any songs that have international characters in their pathname and that appear in a playlist of mine (the modified "favorites" playlist from my rockboxed mp3 player) now have duplicate album entries under my browse artists -> albums menu. For instance, Björk's song -Bachelorette- appears in the above mentioned playlist. If I go to Browse Artists: Björk, the album -Homogenic- appears twice; once in full, and once with only the song -Bachelorette- listed. Is this related to the bug? I don't think it had happened before the re-scan. I will perform another re-scan tonight, and report back with it's status tomorrow.

Rather, the comparison you are doing is apples vs. oranges, because the CD is presumably feeding 100% of its line output into your system's amp. That should be roughly the same level you get if you set the Duet to 100%. If you're setting the Duet much lower than that, then of course it won't be as loud as the CD for any given volume setting on the Sony. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.

I'm > not happy about spending hundreds of dollars just to be able to get my > PC to sync properly. > The problem is that lots of software and drivers cause delays. I've been playing with some music software and virtual synths recently and an unavoidable problem with those is latency, very short delays between the time that you press a key on the (music) keyboard and when the sound appears. This is not a problem when playing music - that's why a standard PC system doesn't bother minimizing latency, but it becomes a big annoyance when you're playing the piano or guitar over the PC. Or, when you're trying to sync an SB with a PC. The best solution is to use a sound card (or sound interface) that has ASIO drivers. These drivers bypass most of the Windows/Mac sound driver layers and access the hardware directly so that the latency is as small as possible. Using ASIO an acceptable latency of 3 of 4 ms is possible on fast systems. Of course SB's have a latency of their own, so to get perfect sync you should probably be able to tune the latency on the PC, that's possible with most ASIO drivers. You can adjust the latency. I haven't really tried it, but I have my PC soundcards (AC97 and M-Audio Transit) as well as an SBR connected to a mixer, so I could do some tests to see if I can get the SBR and SoftSqueeze on the PC to get synced perfectly. I wouldn't need it myself (I have 7 SD devices) but it could be interesting to find out.

I could, but it wouldn't do you much good. After sending my first reaction I realized that softsqueeze probably won't support the ASIO interface. The application needs to be ASIO-aware.

As ASIO wasn't available I just tried the M-Audio Transit (which is a USB interface) and the Dell PC's built in audio (which is not an AC97 as I said, but a 'Soundmax'. Turns out the Soundmax did pretty well, I think there was probably a slight letancy that could be heard when I mixed the SBR signal with it over the headphones. The M-Audio OTOH, did horrible, the sound was totally out of sync. Possibly because it's optimized as an ASIO interface and the standard Windows interface won't be used very much. Not much help to you, I'm afraid. Don't buy an expensive card but experiment with cheap ones or get a (also cheap) SB Receiver instead. That oughta work without problems. That Soundmax card produces horrible interference noise from the video card. It changes when I open windows and things. It's best to keep the analog sound generation outside your PC.

The PC is a smart device. And here is my question. Why would anybody "WANT" to sync PC playback to the quality playback of any of their Slim Devices? Of course, I know there are a few reasons to use softSqueeze to just listen to ones music on the PC. But if one actually owns Slim Devices, why would you want to also sync the PC?

Re: [slim] What sound card should I use to get accurate sync between SB3 and SoftSqueeze?
iPhone - I'm doing exactly what you're questioning the need for. My house is arranged such that I can walk the circuit from office (no SB, using SoftSqueeze) to bedroom (SBB) to living room (SB3) while tidying, etc, going about weekend tasks. I just start up a playlist, sync all three, and I never walk out of range of the music. Eventually, I might upgrade to a hardware SB in the office, but for right now, I have higher end PC speakers with decent sound, and having the music going in the office is nice. I'll forgo audiophile quality (since I don't have that anywhere to begin with) just to have it playing. I don't think you have too many squeezeboxes, but...I think you may have more disposable income than I do...;-) Now, on another note - I routinely sync all three players, and I can detect little to no lag on the PC. Even moving my SBB into the office and syncing? I can make myself hear a sync difference, but it's incredibly slight, if anything.

I like the idea of showing track title without the track number. Right
now, when poll this data, some of my tracks show up as "1-7 TrackTitle"
for example. Maybe, it is the tagging my MP3's.

How would you query for "paused" or "stop" state? I know, I should be
asking in the developer forum but it goes with this thread. Again,

Reset (hold power) and then press "3" on the splash screen. You should get a (loud!!) 1KHz tone. If you hear the tone then your hardware is OK. Either way, the next step would probably be to contact support for further troubleshooting or replacement. Also of course be sure to check cables and try the digital outputs. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54062 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

So nothing terribly fancy, hardware wise. Yeah, I guess its mainly a quality issue for me. Not the quality of SoftSqueeze, but of a PC sound card and PC speakers. I spend so much time in my office in front of a PC when the markets are open, I felt I had to have a small system in the office that was above the sound available from a soundcard and PC speakers. Speaking of computers, has anybody checked to see if it makes a difference if softSqueeze is running on the same PC as SC? Does running SC on a server and softSqueeze on another PC help or hurt the sync issue? Also when I have run softSqueeze on the office PC, I have seen some odd behavior. It locks up or crashes every time I play Acoustic Alchemy -The Colonel and the Ashes-. There are no issues with any of the Squeezeboxes playing this song. It also does this on one of Michael Hedges CDs. And now looking up both of the songs, they both happen to be track 6.

[slim] duet dropping songs on pandora
i listen to pandora radio most of the time and for some reason at times a song will stop playing and will go to the next one. i have tried re-installing the music flashcard and have changed the channel that my router broadcast on and i still have the skipping problem. has anyone out there in duetland had this problem? if so---what did you do to fix it. -- drummer drummer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20666 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54090 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
