[slim] DOA/Broken duet and logitech support
Unfortunately my duet had a dead reciever. I didn't really fancy sending the whole thing back to Dabs cos it's quite a big box. So no problems, I used the recommended web form ( at http://slimdevices.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/slimdevices.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php ) to ask if Logitech can replace just the reciever, and used the controller with my SB3. A couple of "you've emailed the US, we'll pass your request on to European" mails (both from "Logitech EMEA support") came and went, and then the controller developed a fault - a pixel width white line right across the screen that won't go no matter what I do. So I've resigned myself to sending the whole lot back to Dabs after all. However, the point of this post I suppose, just to let you all know especially those wanting their tunes in multiple rooms, that according to Logitech EMEA support "the receiver of the Logitech Squeezebox Duet is not available as a stand alone accessory for replacement or for sale". ;) Communication, they have heard of it -- tin tin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7125 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54280 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] question about squeezecenter services on XP
Hi, I've been surfing the forum and in some posts a "Squeezecenter service" is referred to, and it is not SqueezeMySql. SqueezeMySql is the only service that I can see associated with Squeezecenter. Everything is working fine, so I do not think there is a problem, but I'm interested because a) its weird I don't seem to have a service running that everyone else does. b) Squeezecenter won't start automatically on my XP machine, so perhaps this is a clue.

Favorites is there to store your favorite playlists and radio stations etc. It's not meant for storing individual tracks and then playing them all, as that is what a playlist is for! You can make playlists and save them via your controller or remote (i.e. no computer). There is an inbuilt enabled "Save Playlist" plugin.

You may set warning thresholds for each measurement. Events which exceed this threshold will be logged to a log file. The log is stored at: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SqueezeCenter\Logs\perfmon.log Signal Strength This graph shows the strength of the wireless signal received by your player. Higher signal strength is better. The player reports signal strength while it is playing. < 10 :0 : 0% < 20 :0 : 0% < 30 :0 : 0% < 40 :0 : 0% < 50 :0 : 0% < 60 :2 : 0% < 70 : 74 : 11% # < 80 : 524 : 75% # < 90 : 100 : 14% ### < 100 :0 : 0% >=100 :0 : 0% max : 87.00 min : 58.00 avg : 72.995714 Warning Thresholds : Low High Buffer Fullness This graph shows the fill of the player's buffer. Higher buffer fullness is better. Note the buffer is only filled while the player is playing tracks. Squeezebox1 uses a small buffer and it is expected to stay full while playing. If this value drops to 0 it will result in audio dropouts. This is likely to be due to network problems. Squeezebox2/3 uses a large buffer. This drains to 0 at the end of each track and then refills for the next track. You should only be concerned if the buffer fill is not high for the majority of the time a track is playing. Playing remote streams can lead to low buffer fill as the player needs to wait for data from the remote server.

If you are hearing audio dropouts, please check your network signal strength. Your server response time is occasionally longer than desired.

Re: [slim] Artwork Display
> I'm still stumped on trying to make my html detect when the player is > Paused/Stopped or powered On/Off using the below reference. I've Ok, I think we have to start with some basics here ;-). When using SqueezeJS you shouldn't need to care about that player state and querying SC etc. SqueezeJS.Controller should do this for you. It will then signal eg. "playerstatechange" events whenever the current player has changed some status (play mode, playlist, volume etc.). All of the SqueezeJS.UI components do this for you: they listen to this event, receive the new player state information when it happens, and update themselves accordingly. So what you need is some component which will use the "mode" part of the player status to update itself. > attached my html. What I'd like is to replace the Title with "Now > Stopped" whenever the player is stopped, "Now Paused" when the player > is paused, and "Powered OFF" when the player is powered off. Any > suggestions? In this case you might want to use something based on SqueezeJS.UI.RawTitle: SqueezeJS.UI.MyTitle = Ext.extend(SqueezeJS.UI.Component, { onPlayerStateChange : function(status){ var title; // overwrite if (status.mode == 'stop') title = 'Stopped'; else if (status.mode == 'pause') title = 'Paused'; // assuming we're playing else title = SqueezeJS.SonginfoParser.title(result, this.noLink, false, true); this.el.update(title); } }); Then use new SqueezeJS.UI.MyTitle() instead of RawTitle in your page. As mentioned above this component will be signalled a state change whenever there's one. It's also sent the new status object. "mode" is part of this object (as is a lot more information - see the "status" CLI query). So instead of using the title in any case (as does RawTitle()), it checks the player mode and displays something else accordingly. Does this make any sense? FWIW: if you're seriously trying to do some JavaScript work, you should get Firefox and install the Firebug add-on. This is a tool which will let you inspect whatever is going on in SqueezeJS. You could eg. step through the above onPlayerStateChange() method, inspect the full status object and learn about what other information would be available to it.

[slim] Odd 'Can't connect to SC' issue
My SB3 often has trouble in reconnecting to SC (7.2) when cold booted. It seems to boot successfully but fails at the last step. I manually went through all the network config steps to verify that it was just the SC connect that was the issue. However from the SC PC itself I was surprised to find that I couldn't ping the SB3 on the address that it said it had obtained. I dug a little deeper and "arp -a" showed that the ip address was indeed mapped to the SB3's MAC address but ping still didn't work. I moved the SB3 next to the wireless router with no change. Finally I tried rebooted the wireless router (Linksys WRT54GX-v2 firmware 2.00.20) even though other wireless devices were working, and suddenly the SB3 connected to SC just fine. It is also pingable. Any ideas what went wrong? I really don't think that it's just the router that's at fault here. -- mr-b mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54264 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Multiple Albums?
I've been getting this problem off LOTS of freshly ripped CDs. I am ripping using MediaMonkey (with AAC plugin) ripping to 128kbps AAC format. The albums (single disc albums) are appearing up to three times in the squeeze center library on my duet controller. One particular album I asked MediaMonkey to clean all the tags from and rebuild just the basic tags, but after a rescan it's still chopped quite randomly into three parts. Have been just soldiering through, ripping my CDs, but more and more are getting this bug. Not complex double-albums, just simple albums tagged from FreeDB and checked. Is there some sort of low-level tag / database reading tool I can use to examine exactly why two tracks are regarded as "not in the same album" ? Perhaps then I can understand better if this is my tools mucking things up (which even if they are, it seems a little over-sensitive on squeezecenter's part) or if there is a potential bug report to submit. Think I am on 7.2 - not too keen to move to nightly builds just yet...

In that case auto mode is fine, but you should make sure that you iTunes does not apply error correction. I would certainly not let iTunes upsamle to 192. However you should know that iTunes might not be the best choice for ripping if you are very concerned about the quality of your rips. Many people, and in particular "audiophiles" use the flac-format and EAC for ripping (lately I hear dbpoweramp is also becoming increasingly popular as it is easier to use and the latest verions provide very good quality rips) Another reason for using flac with the SB3 is that flac is natively supported in the SB3 (and other Slim-products) while Apple Lossless is transcoded on the server. It is no showstopper, Apple will work and many people use it. Here are a few links you can have a look at: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Beginners_Guide_To_Ripping http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/EAC_Ripping_In_Depth http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/EACRipping Also there is a subforum here on ripping/transcoding which I recommend you have a look at.

[slim] Overheating SB3 CPU ?
My SB3 recently developed a fault in that it now invariably crashes after a brief period of use (display goes blank and no sound). It is now out of warranty, and as this is now the third hardware fault I have had with this unit, I am inclined to bin it rather than pay for a further repair. However, I thought I would make some attempt to diagnose the problem first. When this SB3 was repaired previously, the symptoms were exactly the same. On that occasion, the wireless card was found to be the cause and it was replaced. Based on a guess that I had the same issue again I replaced the wireless card myself, but this did not solve the problem. Removing the wireless card completely did not stop the crashes either, but the SB3 did run for considerably longer before doing so without the card in situ. Then I noticed that the CPU (IP3023) was running very hot. Holding a temperature probe against the CPU (i.e. not the best thermal contact), the probe read 100 degrees celcius after a few minutes. Is this normal (doubtful), or could this point to the root cause (a problem with the power circuitry feeding the CPU for example). Can anyone suggest where to look next ?

I'm not sure I've understood you correctly but just in case I have. 1) Why don't you add your favourites to a playlist instead of making them favourites in the first place? It sounds like the zapped songs playlist might suit you... if it still exists (I've never used it so don't know). If you use Last.fm you could "love" your favourite tracks as you come across them and then play them all through your Last.fm Loved Tracks radio (which is what I do). 2) As for randomizing a playlist. Is there a reason why the inbuilt SC "shuffle" function doesn't suit you?

I can only suggest that you carefully: - check your encryption key - clear encryption key on your Duet - re-enter key on Duet - be very careful you have not accidentally added a blank *space* in the key You might want to start by temporarily making the encryption key ridiculously short (like just 4 letters) just for testing purposes.
