Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Hi Guys, Experimental favourites support for Squidgy is in the update submitted to Apple. You can view and play favourites that have been set up on the server, but manipulating your favourite list on the iPhone is not supported.

pippin;321062 Wrote: Not necessarily. I know iPhone does a lot of optimization to conserve power, so maybe it somehow detects an empty stream and shuts it of... The behavior is completely reproducible: When I pause the stream (on SC) and then also pause it on the iTuner app, it loses the connection (and indicates so). When I then try to restart (on iTuner) it says cannot recognize stream format. But if I then re-start the stream on SC it can connect again. It also seams to buffer ahead quite a bit (30s for my 192 kbps mp3s and more than 2min for 64kbps streams) so I can only imagine the distorted playback has to do with decoding issues. Lower bitrates make no difference, it seems to have more to do with the track, some songs seem to be more sensitive than others (reproducible). The strange thing is it seems to have no such issues with shoutcast streams. Is there anything you do different? This may not be what you are talking about, but the touch and iphone cache the entire track so a 20 min song eats up much more memory than a 3 min song. I found this an odd way of dealing with tracks. This may only be from the device's library itself so may not work this way with streaming.

I would like to have voted No preference However if held at gun point, i would probably blurt out SBr. I say this because it found it to be a touch brighter, and i like the sound. The SB3 was a bit warmer, and i think most people will prefer it. I guess its also down to the music you like. I'm also quite prepared to accept my ears/brain where biased because i'm so used to the SB3's sound. At this level, there is not much in it. I tend to agree with your assessment, but to be honest I still haven't had the time to really AB them. Kinda why I was asking others opinions. The whole reason I was curious is because I replaced my main system SB with the SB3 and relegated the SBR to roaming duty. Then one day I got to wondering if I had done the right thing since my main system is the best one in the house. I AB'd them a bit, but because of something I added to my set up, it's very hard to get behind my equipment to switch back and forth. I do like warmth and that's what I htought the SB3 was better at.

[slim] Lost Favorite with UTF8 Title
Hi there,
I recently re-built my library, and in doing so my favorite entitled
Lunático no longer works.
I set it as an alarm this morning and the backup tone played. If I
navigate to it in SC, it says:
Code:
Title: Lunático
URL: db:album.titlesearch=LUN%C3%83%C2%81TICO
This isn't the first problem I've had with UTF8 files with special
characters in their names; the first one involved playlist entries not
being played.
Any help? Or do I have to submit a bug report now?

[slim] Incorrectly marked favourite: two albums with same name
Hello again,
In my music collection, I have (at least) two albums with the same
name.
I favorited one, -Grand Slam- by Richard Dorfmeister vs. Madrid de los
Austrias, and when I navigated to the favorites list in SC, it showed
the album art for the album -Grand Slam- by Spiderbait.
When I clicked on it, it showed some search parameters that I don't
remember and didn't note down, instead of showing the album tracks
(I've since removed it from my favorites list, sorry).
Is there a better way for favorites to be handled?

The handheld skin tends to work better on the PS3 - the fonts and symbols are larger, and the functionality seems better behaved as it's less JavaScript-intensive. It's not a great interface, though.

Re: [slim] music library
I assume we are talking about The Rolling Stone Magazine 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. Downloaded from the internet. If so, this collection is a bit of a bitch. Many tracks although ostensibly part of the 'Same album' do in fact have some 'hidden' info which identifies the source album for the individual track. I remember having the same problem... I cannot recall exactly how I fixed it, but I suspect I first used TagRename to rename every file to contain the critical information viz: Track number, Artist and Song Title. Then I think I used MP3Tag to delete all tag information for every song in the collection. This left only the bare file names. Then used Tagrename to re-create the tag information. Track #, Artist Song Title coming from the file name the other common information like Album name, genre, album art...via TagRename's multiple file tagging feature. PS do this fix up on a copy set of the original files!!

Re: [slim] Distortion during loud tracks - my amp is too sensitive - what to do?
Nice round values for an Lpad R1=10kOhm R2=1kOhm. There is many possible results for this, this is just one suggestion. I use a combination of attenuators and power amps with adjustable gain, in my hifi and powered speakers with gain controls on the back for the kitchen. There is a general need for attenuators as there's to much gain everywhere. The loudness race is on in amps and CD players too ! Imagine the hifi show room when the sales person just switches between two CD players without adjusting volume, which one will be better. I remember some old hifi of mine where i never used more than half of the volume knob often less. I seen people actually complaining on amps calling them weak when they have turn up the volume knob more ! Generally i like it when I can use most of the range of my volume controls.

Re: [slim] Incorrectly marked favourite: two albums with same name
JadeMonkee;361062 Wrote: Is there a better way for favorites to be handled? I agree. I've mentioned the favorites handling of local music before. Essentially, SC stores the album name as an identifier for the favorite, rather than internal id's. So if you store a Greatest Hits album as a favorite, there's a good chance you won't get what you expect when you try to play that favorite back. eg. when you scan new albums in, you may affect an existing favorite. I guess this was done, as a complete clear and rescan would result in new identifiers (eg. an album id). The same issue can occur with artist names - there could be two artists with the same name. eg. Blue October is a Rock band from USA, but a UK band exists as the same name. Nirvana was another example. So you can't necessarily set an artist as a unique favorite too. It's unlikely that two bands that share the same name also share the same album title, and that a user would want to set one as a favorite. I think therefore that the album artist name and the album name need to be referenced in the favorite to uniquely identify an album favorite. However, not even this is full-proof, in that there can be several albums with the same name by Various Artists. I too dislike that I can't drill down into a local music favorite. eg. set an album as a favorite - if I navigate to that favorite, I expect to be able to navigate into the album (eg. use right-arrow on a standard remote, or click the favorite name in the WebUI).to see the list of tracks. -- Philip Meyer Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55227 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song
OK, weirdness happening for sure and I'm sure if I can figure this out then the rest will fall into place. My Transporter usually (but not always) turns my computer off around 80 seconds after an album is finished even though I have the power setting set at Go into standby after 15 minutes. This has perplexed me to no end but now I think I know why. I performed these tests several times with the power state set at Always On. I manually put the computer into standby mode when I had to by pressing the front power button (Dell Tower). 1) I wake computer using a slight movement of the mouse. No matter what I do in SC, with the Transporter or with The Controller has no effect on the computer - it stays on indefinitely. 2) I wake the computer using the Transporter's remote, I go to the last track of an album and press play. The track plays out (hence the album finishes) and around 80 seconds after the last sound is heard the computer goes into standby mode - EVEN THOUGH IT IS SET TO ALWAYS ON!!! I can't figure this out. I've checked the hard-drive for errors, the network card says it's working properly and has the latest driver, etc. Can you think of why this is happening???

[slim] Receiver bridged mode networking
Hi, I'm currently using two receivers, one controller, a Linux server (Squeezecenter 7.2.1) and one wireless access point. The receivers are both hard wired, as is the server. I'm getting various issues with the wireless range as the access point isn't well positioned for the room that the second receiver is in. So, what I was wondering is whether bridged mode might be better and use the receivers as access points for the controller. Question is, will a controller use two receivers and switch between each one seamlessly as the controller moves from one room to another or will it only ever use one? Any help here would be much appreciated.

Re: [slim] Receiver bridged mode networking
The controller (and other devices) do not curerntly support wireless roaming. There is an open bug for this that is supposed to be addressed with release 7.3. I have a wireless range expander, and from what I can tell the controller grabs the stonger signal when it is turned on, and holds onto it until it loses that signal completely. The preferred method of operation would be that it scan for a stronger signal in the background and switch (seamlessly) when one becomes available. I'm looking forward to this feature.

This has perplexed me to no end but now I think I know why. I performed these tests several times with the power state set at Always On. I manually put the computer into standby mode when I had to by pressing the front power button (Dell Tower). 1) I wake computer using a slight movement of the mouse. No matter what I do in SC, with the Transporter or with The Controller has no effect on the computer - it stays on indefinitely. 2) I wake the computer using the Transporter's remote, I go to the last track of an album and press play. The track plays out (hence the album finishes) and around 80 seconds after the last sound is heard the computer goes into standby mode - EVEN THOUGH IT IS SET TO ALWAYS ON!!! I can't figure this out. I've checked the hard-drive for errors, the network card says it's working properly and has the latest driver, etc. Can you think of why this is happening??? Thanks!!! newy, I also had connection problems with my Transporter that were similar to what you describe. I always had signal strength in the 90's but I live in a highrise and can see quite a few wireless networks from my laptop. Some days it would work fine, other times I had a lot of resets with a high control connection queue count. My display would go blank as you describe but it never put my computer to sleep. I finally moved my router and NAS to my equipment cabinet and connected the TP to the router with an ethernet cable. All my connectivity issues went away, as well as some other problems like the TP not responding to the remote and a jerky display. I have since purchased a controller and the system works without problems. If there is a way you can test by cabling the TP to the router, it may help you to isolate the problem. -- ghostrider ghostrider's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18959 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55158 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

clearly isn't done very commonly, but there are many scenarios where
this could come into play and may trip over driver-or-hardware-specific
variations.
My guess is that the machine tries to do a periodic reconnect, or tries
to roam due to signal fluctuation, and suddenly decides to be strict and
not associate with the access point (which is a perfectly acceptable
response according to the specs so nobody would consider this a bug).
It would appear like you were just working fine and then it suddenly
stops. It's probably fixed by a reboot, or turning wireless off and
on. Or broadcasting your SSID ;)
This could explain the problems of my wireless card frequently
not-working after migrating to Ubuntu... I think I'll enable
broadcasting now, and see what happens in Linux. Thanks for the info!

Re: [slim] SB2 with no remote
Cool. I'll look into that.

[slim] What is the origin or meaning of your user name?
Yeah, I know, it's a stupid idea. I debated with myself over this, but perhaps not long enough, because here it is. I kinda feel like a middle school teacher with a gym full of thirteen year old boys and girls at the first dance of the year. There are some interesting names, so share the background if you want, move on if you don't. Howard, Michael, Phil - we got you covered already.

[slim] SB screen goes blank instead of screensaver
Help, My squeezebox screen goes blank after playing any song for a bit. It should go to a a screensaver (set to Date and Time currently) but instead goes blank. It's connected to SqueezeCenter. What could I be doing wrong? I've ensured all screensaver options are set to Date and Time Thanks for any advice, grimholtz -- grimholtz grimholtz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5235 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55257 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 5.1 not working anymore
Henk51 that is the expected outcome. I will try myself tonight (or this weekend), i've had it working with my old server and old SS/SC I want to verify that it's still ok. Then it's possible to compare settings for our SB3's with the op of this tread. In one upgrade i did in 7.x the fixed volume setting disappeared and the volume was set to some arbitrary value in the middle. Also be aware of the fact that fixed volume is now for both analog and digital output -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55213 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB screen goes blank instead of screensaver
Two ideas come to mind. First, make sure that you have Date Time enabled under Settings Plugins. Second, check your brightness settings. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.

Re: [slim] Performance on iPhone iPod Touch
pippin;361081 Wrote: It does definitely not do that for remote tracks. On the iPeng skin, you can see that it's around 3 min that get buffered (you see that in the progress bar) and then you'll see that this progresses from time to time while the track is playing. Thats a good thing then. I'm glad.
