[slim] Boom + Duet = Slacker problem?
My Boom has been so impressive for the past month that I bought a Duet, which arrived today. Set it up without problem, connected to SN, fired up a Slacker favorite station, and enjoyed music. A song came on that I wanted to skip, so I hit on the SBC. The song kept playing. Hmmm. Hit , selected "Ban Song", and a popup appeared saying "This song will no longer play," but the song kept playing. Hmmm. Went to the Slacker web player and found that the song had been added to the Ban list. I shut down the SBR and SBC, fired up my Boom, played a Slacker station, tried to skip by hitting as usual. The song kept playing. Hit the wheel, selected "Ban Song", and was informed that the song will no longer play -- but the song kept playing. Fiddling around, I hit and got the response that I used to get by hitting -- the current song stopped, a new one started, and my remaining skip count was decremented by one. I fired up the Duet again and tried the trick on the SBC -- no dice; the song kept playing. I tested Pandora's skip behavior -- everything works exactly as expected where the button on the applicable device (SBC or Boom) skips the current song. So now as far as Slacker goes, my Boom doesn't work like it used to, and I have no way to skip or ban a song via the SBC. What am I missing? Boom firmware 41, SBC @ 7.3 r3476, SBR @ 56. No SC installed -- I'm a Squeezenetwork-only user.

[slim] Remembering multiple music sources
I am connected to my office network at home via a wireless router. SqueezeCenter 7.3 is running on two servers, one on the office network (I'll call remote) and one behind the router at home (local). I have a Squeezebox 3 behind the router as well. The Squeezebox can connect to both SqueezeCenters but neither shows in the other's Music Source list. If I am connected to the remote SqueezeCenter and go back into Squeezebox Setup I can connect to either source by browsing. However, once I connect to the local SC, the remote one no longer appears as a music source and I have to enter the IP manually to reconnect. Is there a way to save music sources or enter them as favorites? Thanks. P.S.

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Hi Pippin, I'm experimenting with my tags (in a little sample-database) trying to find a simple way to be able to search (and perhaps browse) artist (main artist/lead performer) and musicians (band members) separately. Right now I have tagged the main artist in "ARTIST" and musicians in "BAND" (FLAC files). Browsing artists in SC and Transporter ONLY list main artists (ARTIST) - and albums issued by the main artist. And when searching in SC I can find those albums where a certain musician (BAND) is performing (i can not browse musician though). Browsing artists in iPeng shows a different result though. The artist browse in iPeng list main artists (ARTIST) AND musicians (BAND). This way I can not easily see the role (main artist or musician). Well, I know this thread is not for discussing tagging (and this way of tagging might not be correct, or the best way to achieve what I want), but is it intended/correct that browsing artists in iPeng is not the same as browsing artists in SC/Trandporter? PS: Band/Orchestra is NOT set to be included ind the artist list in SC. Also I realize that what I try to achieve migt be more easy when iPeng will suppport Custom Browse -- jazztime jazztime's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4951 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
So I used the app every day for a full month, I think it's time I step in with some feature requests (no particular order). 1. I really lack a way to display the album cover larger before actually playing the album. Is click and hold the cover art taken? 2. Artist biography look-up from Allmusic Guide. Maybe even available from the Now Playing screen 3. Option to Sort album on year in artist view 4. I find it hard to tell if the power icon is on or off (the same goes for repeat and shuffle but I never use them) 5. I would like to "find more by this artist", i.e. the artist playing now. The result should look just like an ordinary search. 6. In album and new music view I would like the option to switch artist name and album title, i.e. have the artist name large/bold and the album title smaller. 7. Option to trim the end of an album title rather than the middle. I was trilled to read that there is a plan for CustomBrowse implementation in the future and some of the thing can be taken care of that way. -- Anders -- markstrom markstrom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17691 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Love My Squeezebox! What's The Equivalent For Video?
I bought a Popcorn Hour A110 which I just point to my NAS - after a few months, it's played pretty much everything that I've thrown at it ISO, MKV, AVI and etc. I'm really impressed with it, though I only use a fraction of its functionality. Don't expect fancy menus, unless you use one of the jukebox skins (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/). The key selling point for me was that it wasn't another PC cluttering up a room and consuming unnecessary power. You can put a hard drive in it if you want, I haven't bothered. I would recommend you keep track of your ripped media with a sensible naming scheme that reflects resolution and fps, though.

Now wait a moment, that's a different issue and it only applies to the iPeng plugin before version 0.5. However, it's actually ONE of the reasons for the problems in 1.0.4. asymtot, you say it can't be the iPod because the iPod's iPod application (this naming convention is confusing...) doesn't show this problem. Well... that's not completely true. iPhone OS does have a standard control called UISlider that displays a nice slider which iPeng uses. It behaves completely different from the one iPod uses. I'm pretty sure Apple's iPod application uses something else. One of the diferences in behavior is, that UISlider will immediately move to any position on the slider bar where you touch it. Just like iPeng pre-0.5. In the beta test it came out that this is not acceptable and actually most iPhone apps don't behave like this. So iPeng captures only an area around the "knob" and you have to drag that one. It's not just the knob itself, it's a much bigger area but it captures there. Step in issue #2: The sensitivity of the iPhone screen close to the borders is limited, you can see this with other apps and other controls as well. This seems to be a software issue, actually, the problem seems to be that the screen is actually MORE sensitive close to the edges and the software compensates for that. This means, some touches close to the border are sometimes simply ignored, if iPhone decides they are accidental. Now step in iPeng: Due to it's layout, on iPeng the volume slider is actually CLOSER to the edge of the screen than with most other apps. The result is what you see. In my experience it helps to make sure you don't touch the screen with the fingers of the hand that holds the device (even outside the visible area) and especially not to rest a finger at the bottom of the device. I'm looking for solutions, but since "increase capture area" and "move up detection chain to improve sensitivity" are pretty much through, my current favorite is to swap the volume slider with the "Power/Skip/Play" buttons, those are bigger and a missed hit may not hurt as much.

As the great philosopher Yogi Berra said, It aint' over 'til its over. There are folks arguing, with good cause, that 11n should more strongly deprecate the 2.4gHz band, keep it only for legacy interaction. This would be a good thing, IMHO, but its contentious. The important point today is that since its not final, there are not tons of small, power efficient, inexpensive chips to handle it. Its not mass market ready -- today its for early adopters. The only fact here is that SlimDevices/Logitech never comments on future products. My prediction, and I'm a user/customer, not an insider, is that there will be nothing about 11n until Mouser and DigiKey have lots of commercially ready products, in stock. All the discussion on the forums of the world isn't going to change that. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 802.11n Devices
Thanks for all your replies. There were some other good reasons given for why 802.11n (or "Draft N" currently) should be added to devices. Summary of Benefits * 5 GHz operation avoids interference from microwaves, phones, etc. * Gives ability for people to use "Greenfield" mode for increased throughput (i.e. all N network) * Increased range from MIMO technology * Better throughput for people using their SB as a wireless bridge Recommendation * In order to keep costs down while still offering these benefits to those who want/need it, the best scenario would be if Logitech offered a replacement mini-PCI Wifi to support 802.11n. I'm sure they could sell this device at a nice profit and everyone would be happy. Side note * Some people seem to be against using this technology because "it's not a finished spec." Everything I've read indicates that current hardware will be firmware upgradeable to be compliant with the final 802.11n spec. Note that although the spec is not yet ratified, there are still quality controls in place. The Wifi Alliance does interoperability testing and has a "Draft N" certification process. The "Draft N" equipment has been available for quite some time and seems to have matured quite a bit. I too was wary of this certification early on, but now that I see how long the 802.11n spec is dragging on I think it was a smart move by the Wifi Alliance in creating this intermediate certification. I'm sure lots of great inputs have made their way into the final spec as a result of all the real-world usage that has resulted. Also, people who need the range/throughput of 802.11n have gotten access to it years sooner. -- bgriffis bgriffis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1477 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57042 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] NYTimes - Cisco to enter the Home Digital Entertainment Market
As a consumer who spends a good portion of his time working with my home audio/video streaming, I say the more the merrier. The greater the variety the better the chance we'll overcome DRM restrictions and iTunes style lock-in. That's why I was heartened by iLuv offering an Internet streaming radio for ~140$ recently.
