[slim] Can't play radio, writing a plugin will solve problem?
Hi, My provider, Internode provide hosted radio stations. http://www.internode.on.net/residential/entertainment/broadband_radio/ Access to these radio channels is only available when you are on the provider's network. I can play these radio stations just fine using this workflow: - Start SqueezeCenter on PC - Add stations to favorites - Select them and play either on SqueezeBox or SqueezeCenter The problem is - it's *impossible to play them with SquezeNetwork* (without PC with SquezeCenter.) There has been one message about that on this forum http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37596 And it's not resolved. You CANNOT play these stations through SqueezeNetwork because SqueezeNetwork is either proxying or trying to verify streams. Sonce for non-Internode network access is denied, SqueezeNetwork reports to SqueezeBox that stream cannot be played. So *Stream is perfectly valid, but SqueezeNetwork intervenes and deny me the right to play it?* My question is - If someone will write plugin that will open Internode streams directly, will I be able to use that without PC turned on? - Is there another workaround? - Is there "Generic" plugin or plugin template that will open radio stations so I can modify the plugin to open Internode stations? thanks. -- Kramer Kramer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55361 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Feedback on 1.1
Sorted the database load of larger libraries
No so good :
- Bug in handling albums of same name ("Best of", "Greatest Hits" etc).
Rather than play the selected album, creates a playlist by taking one
track from all albums which have the same name
- Albums, simply too slow (> 1 minute!) to create viewable menu. This
is with about 3200 albums
- Artists, name truncation with '...', should use smaller font for
these entries
- Artists, albums without dates are listed alphabetically, followed by
dated albums in ascending date order!
- Genres menus doesn't need A-Z structure on menu
- Genres, for same reason one genre 'Classical' always returns zero
entries. The other 27 Genres I have work fine. Go figure.
- Genres, should have an option to order by album name rather than
current order by artist name but display album title
- Genres, building list slow for large number of albums in common genre
(i.e. "Rock")
- Now playing, hardware buttons should be active to control volume
Bottom line, 1.1 may be OK for peeps with up to a few hundred rock/pop
albums.

Yeah, sadly. At least, on the Linux side, it's the only way to interact with an iTouch or iPhone without hacking your unit and using sshfs/wireless to mount your unit, which makes for a *VERY* slow (and inconsistent) transfer process.

Indeed - I do have soundtracks and compilations with U2 tracks on them (When you have that much music, you have compilations with almost all artists represented). If indeed having ARTISTSORT defined for a compilation album causes the problem you describe - that could go a long way to explaining my issues. Seems like a bug - I'd think the idea of ARTISTSORT for an album would be to define what artist name to sort that album under.

I've never noticed any problems with this setup until I happened to plug a pair of headphones into one of the boxes this morning. I noticed that whenever the activity light on the Devolo flashes (to indicate network activity( it causes a digital noise click through the headphones even when the SB is switched off and playing nothing. Things really start to hot up when the SB is switched on though. Any scrolling activity causes digital noise and when a track is eventually played, the digital interference sounds almost like a fax machine through a telephone receiver (albeit much fainter). This is definitely a problem caused by the Devolo homeplugs as I've tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into the PC and it is compleletly noise free. Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to eradicate it? cheers for any help.

[slim] SB and Boom using gateway IP?
I was having some network issues today and both my boom and sb were knocked offline and seemed very confused. Both were having serious issues with responding to any menu changes and power cycling didn't help. They are both pointed to SN. Doing a little checking I found they are both using my gateway IP (different ports) and are not showing up in my wireless DHCP table. This seems really odd to me. I couldn't find any info describing how the networking should be functioning so my question is... Is this correct? I have a Phillips Skype phone on the network and the combination is causing the Sb and Boom to panic.

[slim] Album Sorting - Confusion, Flaws, and an unclear path forward
A little background: My music library is just about 1 terabyte. Most of it consists of FLAC files, which I have very carefully ripped and tagged. I also have some older MP3 files, some from sources such as eMusic, where I had an unlimited account, other from my earlier ripping days when drive space was more expensive. I have used J River Media Center for years, and love it's almost infinite capabilities to sort, organize, and display music. I currently run a plug-in thru my tivo to access the JRMC music on my PC. However, what I have always wanted is a lossless transport that hooks up to my receiver with a hand held device that works wirelessly with a graphical cover art display. The Duet appears to be my dream come true (and at a price point that is reasonable). I have downloaded squeezecenter, and have spent a few weeks playing with softsqueeze, the compiled SqueezePlay app, and assorted plugins. After all this time, I am still unable to get a basic sorted list of albums to display correctly. File tagging: -Every single file has embedded cover art -Every single file has a defined ARTISTSORT, ALBUMSORT, and ALBUMARTIST tag, along with the expected standard title, artist, track, disc, etc. No compilation tags exist I want to simply see a list of my albums, sorted by ARTISTSORT first, then by album. This seems simple - I understand the options related to compilations, I have scrubbed my tags with mp3Tag to make sure there are no issues, I have tried playing around with CustomBrowse to see if that could illuminate anything. but frustrating random results still occur. The punchline: many albums do not appear where they should be seen, and some are randomly placed elsewhere in the alphabet. My testing seems to indicate much of this is due to Compilation logic and file types. Key Issues and feedback: --- *No Simple set of rules for tag priority seem to exist The wiki or documentation should clearly lay out which tags take priority, and which ones get overridden. Understanding how the schema uses these tags would eliminate alot of floundering. *Compilation logic is overly confusing for end users I think I am a fairly sophisticated user, and the way the options are worded and presented is confouding even to me. Once again, a simple statement (If you set tag X and Y for all files, select these options, the Compilations will just work) could clear all of this up. *Compilation logic appears to break sorting In many cases, I noticed albums not sorted correctly. The culprite seems to be compilations. I have all compilations listed to appear under Various Artists... if I have a soundtrack with one track by U2, an ALBUMARTIST of Various Artists, ARTISTSORT of (Soundtracks), the soundtrack appears correctly, but other albums I have in my library by U2 do not appear under the letter U - rather they are randomly displayed in the Various Artist section. *Different file types seem to be treated differently While trying different sort rules, in some scenarios I could get all FLAC files sorted correctly, but none of the MP3 files. I can see no reason these would be treated diffently when they have the same tags fields. *VirusScan interactions The setup, logging, and wiki don't quite do a good enough job of explaining how this can give you grief. Even if you think you disabled it, McAffee can cause issues. The log presnted by the scanner give cryptic messages as opposed to explaing that it failed, andf the Virusscan is almost always the culprit. *New Schema This work sounds promising - but will it help me? I can't tell yet. -- Random Lurker Random Lurker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21320 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55335 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

She had the most impressive arched-back black cat hiss, too, and was brilliant: it took her less than 10 seconds to figure out laser pointers, and she would never chase them, just look at me with a "why do you keep pointing that thing on the floor next to me?" look.)

Also, I noticed that when I went to RadioIO via the menu the first thing that would pop up under RadioIO was the mesaage to 'Go to RadioIO.com to sign up for a soundpass...'. However, I noticed that I did NOT get this message when in SN, only when in SC. So, on a lark, I went down to my PC and got into SC and started messing around. I went into 'Favorites' and deleted my RadioIO station favorite and then added it back by re-selecting it from the RadioIO menu. I noticed that when I clicked on the link that it gave me when I added it into favorties it was the stream with 'CF' (Commercial Free) in it. Sure enough, went back to both my Squeezeboxes and my Transporter and, viola, commercial free in SC. I have absolutely no idea why this worked but it did. We'll see if it sticks.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
OK I'm going to have to class this as a bit crap. It keeps crashing out when updating the database and has never managed to get even half way through the albums (or artists whichever is first).

Re: [slim] Delay between two synchronized SB's
Synching was greatly improved in 7.2.1, but is even better in 7.3. I've found it stays in synch perfectly when playing back local files stored on my server. I don't bother trying to synch internet streams as the web induced latency just makes it too hit & miss. However, even in 7.2.1 the players should attempt to get back into synch. If you look at the server settings page, you'll see some logging you can enable on various bits of the server including synch. Your server log will then be able to tell you what the players are up to. But I think you should just hold out for 7.3 unless your prepared to try the beta. It's pretty stable at the moment as it's due for release sometime around early December. http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/SqueezeCenter_7.3_trunk_v2008-11-20/ -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Now playing not turned on automatically anymore?
I feel a bit confused, I am pretty sure the behavior I am seeing from my Squeezebox Classic is different from before, but I am not sure if it's an upgrade or my own tweaking that has changed it. Anyway, as I remember it, if I would browse for some music, finding an album, and pressing Play, the music would start playing, and after a while (perhaps 10 seconds), the Now playing screen would show. Today, the screen keeps showing wherever I was browsing when I hit play, i.e. somewhere in the browse menu structure. I have set the SB to show the Now playing screen after 10 seconds of non-activity, and then I have MusicInfoSCR set as my default screen. So, has there been a change in the software in the last updates? -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55315 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Delay between two synchronized SB's
Hi, I have a SB Boom and an SB Classic. Most of the time they stay in sync with one another and there is no noticeable delay between the two units. However, occassionally for reasons that I'm still to work out, they get out of sync and a delay of 2 or so seconds is introduced. I have tried the following things, - Stopping and starting a track - Skipping tracks - Unsyncing and Resyncing - Stoppig and starting Squeeze Center. - In and out of standby. The only thing that I've found that reliably gets them back into sync is to disconnect the power and then to start them back up again. As I'm new to SB's I don't know how they sync up. Would be great if someone could provide some insight into why the above things don't get it back into sync and cycling power is the only thing that seems to bring it back into life. Appeciate any hints as to what could be causing it, how to avoid it and how to snap it out of it in a more graceful way when they do get out of sync.

Re: [slim] Freezing, slow response - how I resolved it
I tried all the firmwares as they were mentioned. I really thought my SB3 was dead and the wired one working made me think that more and more. I even had a call raised and was getting ready to send it back for repair / swap but decided to look at the server first. What started the doubt was when the SN worked fine for hours without a drop, but the clincher was when my Boom arrived and it had the same problem I was lucky in that I had an old HTPC I could do some testing with Cheers -- poyntzj poyntzj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2628 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I always wanted my son to be just like Calvin. Luckily for me, he isn't :-) My name is fairly obvious. My family has no imagination so my grandfather was Samuel Edward, my dad Howard Nathaniel, me Howard Samuel and my brother Nathaniel Edward.
