Re: [slim] Audio Problems - Softsqueeze 3.3 on Mac Leopard OSX 10.5
I think it must be a bug in Java. I now get scratchy sound in the right speaker, on a Mac Pro, with every version of Softsqueeze I've tried, back to the version that came with 6.5.4. I've tried at least 3.4, 3.6, and 3.7, and 3.4 worked great for me for a LONG time, so this is a recent change. I thought it was the recent Softsqueezes causing the problem, but it isn't. I think this is a Mac bug, but if you folks can find an easy workaround, that would be wonderful.

Re: [slim] Artwork Display
I think there could be allot of potential for SqueezeJS. I hope to see more its development and documentation. And I hope it will see more interest by the community. I'm glad you created some buzz about it ;-). 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. As mentioned in the other mail the SqueezeJS.UI.Title() component does combine disc#, track# and title into one. That's why I've added RawTitle() which will return the title string only, without the numbers. 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, appreciate your help. playerStatus.mode is one of play, pause, stop. You'll find a lot of this information in the SC CLI documentation. SqueezeJS uses a lot of those commands, playerStatus is basically a subset of the status command. http://yourserver:9000/html/docs/cli-api.html#status Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Any Video on the horizon?
woodhome;352218 Wrote: Thanks for the input, and I'm sorry if I touched a sore spot Autopilot. I'll wind up resolving the video problem somehow, and spending some $ to do it. Like lots of people, there's no separation anymore between my audio equipment and my TV/Video player. It's all one system. Slim Devices are a great product and I'd rather have a system where I know everything will play nicely together. So if you're listening product development... It not a sore point, i would just prefer to see Slim Devices focus on what they are proven to be good at. Most all-in-one devices tend to be jack of all trades, master of none. Horrible interfaces, watered down redundant feature sets which require a TV to operate and overly complicated - because they are trying to be too many things to too many people. Another reason I much prefer seperation to because i don't like to have all my eggs in one basket. For example, i have prefer a seperate mobile phone, sat nav, camera and MP3 player - They all do there jobs better than an all-in-one devices, and if a better sat nav comes on the market i can upgrade that and not have to also buy a new phone and MP3 player which i am happy with. It would be cheaper too. It's also a mistake to just think you can just bolt on video playback. It might be fairly easy to bold audio playback to a video streamer (because they already do it in a way), but not the other way around - and especially with the Slim Devices model of doing things. Video is a whole new ball game, of HDMI etc. There is no way you could really add video to Squeezecenter and the Squeezeboxes themselves - which are thin clients, powered by a server - would need much much more power (HD decoding takes a lot more processing power). So although i guess it could be done, the Slim Device ethos would need to change, i and would not like to see such a radical change to a winning formula. Also, the added development overhead could be detrimental. Squeezebox owners enjoy frequent software updates and new features. If they started doing video work too, you could be sure the updates and new feures would be less frequent. It would also be in danger of quickly becoming bloatware, like iTunes has, and Squeezecenter is arguably already more power hungry than some poeople would like. Let companies concentrate on what they are good at - Lexus make nice cars but would they make great Motorcycles too? They might do, sure, but it's probably best they let other people do that. That said, they may well already have something like the SqueezeboxVideo(tm) on the drawing board, they certainly have a tallented development team. But i would personally rather see it as a seperate line rather than some multimedia mish mash. But maybe thats just me. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic - Cambridge Audio Azur 640a - Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver - Trends TA10.1 Class-T - Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze - Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller - Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3b (Vista 64) 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/domrevans/) autopilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54001 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm not sure that's the case - most of the NAS boxes out there are stripped down Linux boxes which should be perfectly capable of running a media server. Of course it depends on what the media server is trying to do. The issue for me around this whole episode was that ReadyNAS was purported to be capable of running the software. It wasn't immediately apparent that this came with big caveats. The option to run with resized artwork was not workable for me - the artwork looked awful. I should note that I also ran for a period of time with the software running on a full PC.

Re: [slim] What sound card should I use to get accurate sync between SB3 and SoftSqueeze?
iPhone;352329 Wrote: 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. I agree - I spend too much time in front of PCs. But I don't work at home, and I obviously can't lug a real stereo with me from client to client. The iPod has to suffice during business hours. But weekends and evenings are when I want the music all over the house - just not enough time to justify really beefing up what's in the office. iPhone;352329 Wrote: 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? To be more specific about my setup, I have SC running on an ancient Windows Server 2003 SP1 box with a P4 940, 4GB RAM, and all the FLACs are on a 4x200GB SATA RAID5 set. The server does lots of stuff - Exchange, domain controller (no private messages about why you shouldn't co-locate DCs and Exchange, please) web server, SQL server, etc, etc. It's not just for SC. My desktop is a Windows Vista SP1 x64 box, Core 2 Duo E6750, and ASUS P5K-E motherboard (including onboard sound, ADI AD1988B chipset) 4GB RAM. So, OK, I have a goodly amount of memory, but I have not invested in any kind of super fast sound card. Both machines are on the same gigabit switch? That might make a difference? The point I am driving at is that the sound card, in my experience, is probably not affecting things. Unless my specific crappy onboard sound card is the magic bullet for SoftSqueeze synchronization (probability: low) then there's definitely other variables at play. iPhone;352329 Wrote: 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.

In general, most people experience better performance (stronger signal at longer distance) using the new N routers in G mode. I believe this has to do with advancements in technologies involved in wifi antenna design etc. A stronger signal at longer distance can equate to more bandwidth, but you will never exceed the G standards of 54mbps. It may prove useful if you currently have trouble spots in your wifi environment, and the cost of a N router is probably not much more than a after market high performance G antenna. -- sfraser 2 Chan.

It must be resampling and caching the resampled images somewhere. What size are they and where are they being cached to? I turned on debug for artwork and noticed that SlimPronto requests 64x64 images to display a coverart collage. Squeezecenter then resizes from the original folder.fpg of 500x500 to 64x64. Now if these 64x64 images were already cached then there would be no need for this on demand resize. Images would just be retrieved from cache. So we could have resampling enabled and the only downside would be the long scan time. I also noticed that the web interface requests 100x100 and those also get resized and resampled on demand. -- Fishbones Fishbones's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Hard drive storage suggestions
Squeezecenter only recognizes one path to the music files so you cannot add a 2nd,3rd ... etc path. What you can do though is add a shortcut in your existing music folder that points to the music folder on any new disk you add. e.g If your existing music is held in C:\Music and your new disk (D:) also contains a music folder (D:\Music) then you need to create a shortcut in C:\Music that points to D:\Music. When Squeezecenter performs a scan for new music, it will then follow the shortcut and scan any music in D:\Music. If you are using a Linux based OS running Squuezecenter I imagine some sort of symbolic link would achieve the same thing. -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54110 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
