Re: [slim] Artwork resizing - could it be managed better?
i think a user, and esp a nas user, should be able to optionally run scans with settings they choose. imagine an artwork only scan. imagine a music only scan. sure, this may mean your music and art are somewhat out of sync at times, but the user should have the option. (other options in a scanner would be what to look for, so you could turn off looking for embedded artwork, or certain tags you don't need or care about, and as i've mentioned elsewhere, the ability to turn off automated logics like VA and GH) -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 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] Battery life time for Duet Controller?
I've never run mine completely down. I do a ton of chimping (photography term, but it may crossover) and have listened for a few hours and not gone lower than 75% full. When I loaded SC 7.3 beta and turned on the SBC as a player, I ran it straight, with headphones, for 2.5 hours, chimping and all and it was still at half full. When I stopped it for just a few minutes and turned it back on, it showed 75% full again. I've had my DUET since they first became available so the lithium ion batteries have been somewhat cycled many, many times. Always seems to help.

Re: [slim] Artwork resizing - could it be managed better?
AH! No go for ReadyNAS and artwork on demand resampling then. But what does it do for 13 hours then? As I said it lacks support for floating point operations in the CPU. Thus resizing one artwork might take 20 secs. vs. 2 secs in resize mode. It must be resampling and caching the resampled images somewhere. What size are they and where are they being cached to? They're the size as used on the Controller (50, 56) plus what you've defined as the thumb artwork size in the web UI (100 by default). 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. There's already an enhancement request for additional formats. You might want to add your voice. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9757 I also noticed that the web interface requests 100x100 and those also get resized and resampled on demand. They should be pre-cached. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox Duo and PS3?
I am new to SqueezeBox, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. Here's my situation: I use a Squeezebox to play music from a Windows server. The Squeezebox is connected, using SPDIF, to a decent to a set of loudspeakers with internal DA and amplifiers. I also have a PS3 for DVD and Blueray playback. For the sound, I would like to connect this to the same set of loudspeakers. However, the loudspeakers only has one SPDIF input, so I need to use some kind of SPDIF switch to choose input (Squeezebox or PS3) to the loudspeakers. But, I was thinking there would be another way to do this. Perhaps the PS3 could work as a source for the Squeezebox? In other words, when I play a DVD/Blueray on the PS3, the sound would be through the Squeezebox to the loudspeakers. This way, I could avoid the SPDIF-switch, and a few cables (which I hate).

Re: [slim] Controller doesn't reconnect to network after sleep - Please post your issues
Same problem here. I have a Netgear WNDR3300 Router wired connected to a SB receiver (living room). The Vista 32bit based computer is connected thru a Netgear WNHDE111 in 5GHz/N bridge mode to the router. This connection is rock solid and I never encountered a problem. The SB Controller is connected directly to the WNDR3300 G-Network. With the wired SB receiver in the living room I don't have any connection problems. I can put down the SB Controller for hours either with or without the charging station. The SB Controller resumes very quickly and I can continue listening music. But in the bedroom I have every day the mentioned reconnect error. The SB Receiver there is connected throu a standalone AP from Zyxel which is wired to the router. This is because the signal in the bedroom is stronger with the Zyxel as with the Netgear. I use the same SB Controller to control the receiver in the bedroom. Every day there are such interrupts with the controller. Even if the receiver still plays good night music, the controller loses the connection and tries endlessly to reconnect. This can be after 5mins laying around in the bedroom or for sure on the next morning. Every time I need to reboot the controller. After that, the controller can always connect to the SqueezeCenter on my computer. The Zyxel AP runs on channel 1, the Netgear router on channel 13. There are several other APs in the Neigbourhood but all those have other channels and very poor signal strength. But the signal quality of the netgear's AP is very unstable and varys between 0 and 40%. So it can be that the controller loses connection. But it should be able to reconnect on it's own if the connection is there again. The Quality over the Zyxel is between 40 and 60%. FLACs can easily be streamed over it. All devices in my network have reserved IPs in the router. The sqzeezeCenter-computer is hibernated every night. How far is the progress of this bug? Will it be in the 7.3 release? When will the 7.3 release be?

[slim] Duet Controller fails to select music source
My controller is frequently failing to select a new music source, so for example:- It was connected to 'Squeeze Centre' in the morning and playing fine when I finish listening I press pause and leave the controller on (the PC then sleeps). If I go home this evening and try to connect to 'Squeeze Network' it will try to connect for a bit and then fail. I get the same the other way around if I've used 'Squeeze Network' in the morning I can't connect to the PC at night, once I've manually woken the PC it know 'Squeeze Centre' is availble because it lists it as a music source it simply fails to connect. To resolve the issue 1 or other of the following eventually clears it. 1 - Power off and back on the controller. 2 - Reboot the router. 3 - Issue a DHCP release and renew on the router. 4 - Reboot the PC. Some further info on my setup. D-Link router. - Controller and receiever use DHCP. - Lease time is 24 hours, when I get this problem still have 12 hours lease left.

I currently don't have access to a Mac to build the OSX version. I've been looking at the hack to allow you to run OSX under vmware, but I have a few more updates planned for squeezeslave first. I'm hoping someone who has one will step up and create a binary. The source is availabe on sourceforge so no need for subversion. I'm planning to integrate the portaudio v19 patch from KeyzerSuze as a build option for the linux 2.6 binary.

Use must use OS mixer application to change volume. on - Use the mixer of the output device when changing volume. sw - Use internal volume change routines, which should handle replay gain.

[slim] Display Clock on Now Playing Screen (SB CLassic)
Hey guys!
I use my SqueezeBox Classic as an alarm clock in my bedroom, and would
like it to be able to display the current time, all the time.
I know that when the alarm goes off it remains on the Date Time
screen, but as soon as I press a button (such as when I adjust the
volume) it moves to the Now Playing screen, and I can find no way for
it to display the time without turning it off.
I have fiddled with the Now Playing display options, and had the time
display in-line with the Current Song, but this looks silly, and is
misleading.
I also changed the screensaver when playing to the Date Time
screensaver, but I want to be able to see what song is playing, not
just the time.
I noticed in SqueezeCentre v7.2.1 that it fixes -bug #8555 - Time
displayed on Now Playing screensaver (for Boom used as alarm/radio)-.
So when I installed v7.2.1 I was hoping that it would give this option
to my SqueezeBox Classic, too.
But I can still find no option to have the Now Playing screen also
display the time.
Am I crazy?
Is there any way to have my SB Classic display the time AND the Now
Playing screen?
Help?

Re: [slim] Wireless router advice
tamanaco;350381 Wrote: androidtopp, what's your opinion of the 4500 as you compare it to the 4300? Well, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but my real reason for upgrading was work related. An odd bug, which seemed to be acknowledged by D-Link, and just never fixed (maybe it wasn't possible with firmware update) meant that the DGL-4300 wouldn't pass Cisco VPN traffic over wireless. I get home, sit down on the couch with the work laptop, fire up my SB3 (critial!) fire up the VPN - and no joy. When I would go to the router and wire up, I'd be off to the races in seconds. So having liked everything else abotu the 4300, I bought a 4500, with which I have no VPN issued, wireless or wired. The reason I bought the 4300 initally was a like of D-Link interface, and the built in gig switch, which was rare at the time. I like the port forwarding setup D-Link allows. Some of the advanced features, like GameFuel and the USB port on the 4500 (recently feature enhanced by a firmware update) I've not really mucked with. I do perfer the triple anetenna on the 4500 - lets me connect up D-Link's higher gain 3-antenna properly. Both are very solid, with the exception of that VPN oddness. -- androidtopp My SB3 is the most expensive part of my stereo. So I'm not going to brag about it.

Re: [slim] Best Harmony for SB3?
Granted, I think the Harmony 1000 is stupid big, but I have the Harmony One and can adjust the delay between commands. I think the Harmony is erring on the side of a long delay between commands which turns out to be unneccessary in most cases. You might look in the control software. The Harmony One is life changing for me - I pick it up, shake it so the accelerometer turns on the backlight, press Activities and press Listen to Music. Then I just use the little d-pad to browse through the SB3 menus like I would with the SB3 remote - so a huge net gain between finding amp remote, changing input, finding sb3 remote, powering on, etc, etc. Plus, the state based stuff in the One (which I think extends to other models) remembers what else is on but not needed for the Listen to Music activity. So if I was watching TV, it knows the TV needs to be turned off, and handles it properly without needing the TV to support discrete on/off commands. ONly change amp input, rather trying to turn it on, etc. All things I'm sure people have pointed out earlier in this thread. -- androidtopp My SB3 is the most expensive part of my stereo.

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge
BTW, here's an easy way to use ss2 from the GUI 1) move or copy the files into a folder where you plan to keep them (I used c:\program files\squeezeslave2, but you can use whatever you like) 2) use windows explorer to navigate to that directory (if you're not there already from the above) 3) right-click (and hold) squeezeslave.exe, and drag to white space in that folder. When asked, select create shortcuts here - which will create a link called shortcut to squeezeslave2.exe 4) right-click that new link and select properties 5) in the shortcut tab: 5a) find the target edit box. the path so squeezeslave2 will already be there. Append a space, plus the name of you SqueezeCenter server (plus any other command options you might want) 5b) find the run drop-down box - change to minimized 6) optional: in the general tab 6a) change the name 6b) change the icon (the system has an OK note+speaker icon - but choose whatever suits your fancy) 7) click OK to close the properties box 8) right-click (and hold) your new shortcut - drag to wherever you like (start menu, desktop, quickstart bar), and select copy when asked (so there's always the original shortcut to copy somewhere else) That's it (and it takes a -lot- longer to write up than it takes to actually do it). You can now click the shortcut icon to start squeezeslave2, which will run minimized, so it's just an icon on the tray. You can close ss2 by right-clicking the icon in the tray (not the shortcut icon you used to start ss2) and pick close. IMHO this is a bit more convenient than running as service for a desktop machine that you're going to be sitting at anyway. Logging off closes ss2. Oh - and you can drag that icon into your startup menu item if you want ss2 to start when you login. Hope this helps someone.

Re: [slim] Hard drive storage suggestions
Hi there, I see you all use symlinking/shortcuts to put a drive into your music folder. However, if your drive is for your music only, and I think most users have music-only drives, it's much easier to mount the drive directly into your music folder! Under unix flavors this is done with the initial mount command (you'll find it in the rc scripts). After a lot of searching I found how to do this in XP too. You need NTFS formatted partitions but that's what you probably use in Windows. Here's how to do it: create an empty folder in your music folder. control panel-Administrative tools-Computer Management-Disk management Here, all your disks show up. Right click on the music disc and choose change drive letter and paths. Choose Add, click the browse button and select the new empty folder. After that you can remove the drive-letter assignment. I assume Vista has similar way to do it, but I banned Vista so wouldn't know. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 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

Hmm.. the external antenna works well (good first step!) because signal level doubled. One would assume it would make a difference for your receiver. Try turning the SBR in different directions as it has two internal antenna's that are somewhat directional. First turn horizontal in 45 degree steps (4 steps total = 180 degrees is enough) and check level after each step. Next, try moving it a couple of inches in different directions on the table/shelf you have put the receiver (an inch can make a big difference) and next try turning in a vertical plane. Also, I would advise you to put the receiver next to your SB3 (just for test) and see what happens. Or even closer to your router, no need for amp/speakers etc. just the receiver. If you never get a 5000 rating, there's something wrong, but also remember to stop other wifi traffic during that test. I can't tell you how much you need for wma but 1000 is probably borderline or just enough for lossless. 2000 with some errors is enough I think. Yes, choosing G-only will make a big difference and make sure you do the short pre-amble too. Just check if everything else keeps working when you tweak these settings but these 2 shouldn't give any problems. As your SB3 does 5000, your receiver should be able to do that when you move it to a good position even without changing settings on the wifi router. It's just that when you run the 5000 test on both SB's simultaniously that the wifi settings can make a difference. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

With multiple drives, your risk of a drive failure is greater, isn't it? I do have another backup. What RAID5 gets me is more speed (reads are from N-1 drives in the RAID set, as opposed to one big drive) and the ability to consolidate cheaper smaller drives into uniform file storage. Back when I made this, 200s were cheap, 500s were not. Having multiple drives increases your risk of a drive failure at some point, becuase there are multiple drives to potentially fail, but having multiple drives doesn't accelerate individual drive time to failure. Basically, after 4 years, I still have 3 of the original drives, and I lost the 4th well into year 3. I've had single disks fail much earlier, and under less load, so in this instance, I'm not seeing increased failure rate. I guess, think of the failure as inevitable? Sooner or later, hard drives fail. This way, the failure doesn't mean your data is gone, and you don't have to resort to backups. It's doesn't even interrupt normal operation.

Re: [slim] problems with remote streaming with 7.2.1
Are you, by any chance, running behind a proxy server at work? I'm starting to think this may be part of my problem. But if it is the problem it is definitely something that just starting with 7.2.1, because I've had the same network setup at work for quite some time. -- soxfan soxfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5697 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54108 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
