Re: [slim] Replacement remote for Squeezebox
I updated the firmware Saturday night and now its dead. Naturally, I check the power first, then make sure the cable it pushed all the way in the back of the SB3, but now the remote won't turn it on and my Squeeze center says the player isn't found, so what do you do with a dead SB- Throw it out, or is there a repair and diagnostic place to send them? Mark- Thanks for the lead on additional remotes and the link to the diagnostic thing. I try that if I can. My network is fine,and I've been through all the firewall and network issues a few years ago when I first got mine. I guess I'll try reinitializing it with a cable instead of wireless. Sometimes that helped. And speaking of reinitializing, my SB was giving me the mac not recognized error which I corrected once a few months ago. Why would it lose the Mac address and need resetting?

Re: [slim] Apple TV or Popcorn Hour
I too was trying to select from a bunch of devices including SlingMedia's SlingCatcher, the TViX devices, AppleTV and the Network Media Tank Devices (Popcorn Hour). The SlingCatcher was interesting because it would allow me to watch my remote SlingBox on TV in addition to watching local video files. However, the reviews were terrible, and video format support was not as extensive as the other deices. The TViX systems seemed to have quite a following, but were quite expensive. So I narrowed it down to the other two. The GUI on the AppleTV (as with most things Apple) is far superior to that on the Popcornhour, and if you don't mind living within the Apple ecosystem - it should be the best choice. While its native format support is a bit limited, if you are up for a bit of hacking, you can enhance its functionality and format support using Boxee.tv or XBMC. Also as you mention, the supplied internal HDD is nice. I personally went with the Popcorn hour because in many ways it is similar to the SqueezeBox. Out of the box it supports almost every format under the sun. It is constantly under development, and even though its GUI is a little crude as compared with AppleTV - it is perfectly usable. The option to add a 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDD (on the Popcorn Hour A-110), the 2 external USB ports (2 host and 1 client), the plethora of connectivity options and the stunning quality of images pushed me towards the Popcorn hour. The SMB, NFS, FTP (ability to act as a NAS), and BitTorrent capabilities are very useful, and the UPnP support should allow control from an external renderer like a Nokia Internet Tablet, or N series phone, and also from an iPhone once you install some UPnP control software. Hope that helps. P.S...As a side note, if you don't need network support and all the other bells and whistles, you can get the WD HD media player for under $100 - it supports nearly all of the formats that the NMT devices do, but you have to plug in your USB drives directly to the player. jmanings;382909 Wrote: > Excuse the off topic thread, but recent posts on these here have got me > interested > > Im considering buying one of these 2...anyone care to give me some > pro's/cons on wach and how they compare? > > Let me say that I am leaning towards the Apple TV initially because I > want it for video only (SB3 is far better for music), I already use > itunes for video, movies, I have a Ipod touch (ipeng rules!) and > converting to MGEG 4 dosent bother me.

Re: [slim] Why is SSID broadcast required to be on?

Re: [slim] Adding a Popcorn Hour to my Squeeze system
Any discussion on a PCH and XBMC would be incomplete without taking a look at a TViX (dvico.com). If you want to stream 1080p material, you need to consider the encoding - mpeg2 is relatively easy, while h264 and VC1 are very processor intensive. You are only looking at 20mbps which isn't that much for any decent 100mb connection. What I have found is that the processor on the device can choke on blu-ray material (I think the term is something like h264 level 4.1). If you want HD, the device must have a Sigma Designs SMP8635. If you want to rip blu-ray disks check out Anydvd HD (slysoft.com). Personally, I own 5 Squeezeboxen and two Tvix players (a 5000 and a 4100 - I need to get a 6500). They compliment each other nicely - one is awesome for music, the other is awesome for video. I actually use two different computers (one for music, and one for video), but one could do the job just fine. -- hoosier hoosier's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13116 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57710 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Seems like i have a consistent pattern: The unit is working ok after power up as long as I don't use the remote control but use the web interface to turn on the unit and select music to play. As soon as I press any button on the remote, the slimp3 halts for maybe 15 seconds, and then continues to play, but with grabled sound, sound a bit like it is skipping packets but it does so for hours. In addition the volume seems to be maxed. When the device flips to this 'garbled' mode it stays like that until the unit is powered down (ie stand-by, not physically disconnected from mains). If I then turn the device on again with the web-interface, it works ok again - until the next keypress on the remote control ...

Re: [slim] Squeezebox 3 simply won't play...
Well, I have just fixed it! Kind a strange thing happened... Music is on two external HDs. From another folder on a Mini Mac two aliases (shortcuts) describe paths from which the music will stream. by clicking those aliases the one would go straight to the particular folder. These aliases have been changed. Why, I dont know. So many reasons: - I frequently mount and unmount my discs in Mac OS. - I keep SC starting as the Mac OS starts... - ...and frequently reboot to Windows and the other way around Any of aforementioned processes might influence I suppose. ... I created two new aliases (they are both checked and working), rescanned both of my drives again and voila... It started to work again. No firewalls (except built-in Mac OS) no antivirus softwares.

Re: [slim] FM station internet feed help
It's a mms: only station and doesn't support http: so it will not play on SN as SB doesn't support mms. To play the station on SC in Settings/Advanced/FileTYpes set Windows Media "native" to "disabled". If SC is running Windows then the station will play OK. If SC is on Linux or OSX then you will need to install an app than can play mms WMA streams such as mplayer and also necessary conf file. For OSX and Linux A quick way is to install AlienBBC plugin as it includes all the settings for handling WMA as well as RealAudio.

Re: [slim] Love My Squeezebox! What's The Equivalent For Video?
This looks interesting, a $120 NON-NETWORKED media player that plays all kinds of files up to 1080p HD. I don't really like the idea of having a spinning hard drive in the media room, but this might be useful for a kind of sneaker-net using USB thumb drives. A 16GB drive could hold a whole season of divx shows or several full-length movies. It can also play captured HD streams (.ts and .tp) from the HD tuner in my PC. This would save me a LOT of time and trouble because I currently have to encode the HD files to standard-def DVD format and burn them to DVD-R in order to watch them on the big HDTV in the media room. With this I could just move the raw files onto a thumb drive and play them on the WD. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-WD-Media-Player/dp/B001JZFQU4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1231695212&sr=1-8 -- Pale Blue Ego Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] External HD -> PC/Mac compatibility
Macs will read and write FAT32 drives. Out of the box they will IIRC read NTFS formatted drives but not write to them. There are at least two third-party solutions that enable them to write to NTFS drives also. MacFuse and NTFS-3G together provide an open-source free solution. Paragon Software (who do well-regarded PC software for various things about drives) have their own solution.

Re: [slim] External HD -> PC/Mac compatibility
I think this may point you in the right direction. I was able to install a utility on my Mac running OS 10.5 where it can read and write PC formatted volumes (including NTFS I think). I am now able to take a PC formatted external USB disk that already had my music library on it and read and write to it on both my Mac and PC. Google NTFS, sshfs and Mac OS and you should find the same stuff I did. Many people here are more expert than me in such matters, but I believe this software uses some of the UNIX core of Mac OS - so the install isn't as straightforward as I'm used to with the Mac.

Re: [slim] Idea for Logitech Music Server
The core of a lot of posts that seem to come up, and this one is perhaps in keeping with that, is that there should be some form of device that plugs into existing systems be it an iPOD or existing hifi etc. Then we get into discussions about the limitations, not many people have them, limited size, others do it better/faster etc. Whilst it would still need the SC in its current form the ideal device would seem to be a small wifi capable embedded device that could act as an audio input. This then only needs to support a limited webserver/streaming protocol and you can satisfy most of what many people want. You could have it support analogue or digital inputs and it would still be in the 'Slim' client mould. Mmmm almost a receiver but backwards. The Squeezeboxes could then attach to it as they do any other steaming source. Sorts out plugging in iPods or any other portable player, CD players, distributing (non synchronised) TV sound, DAB radios, satellite radios etc I guess Sean would want their usual excellent sound quality so it would probably cost about the same as a receiver. -- Zaragon Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58010 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It just doensn't work that way though. I wish that when you went to folder view it just let you pick what folder to play, not just the one that you selected as a library folder. I would think it would be an easy add as you can add music to your libray folder and play it at once. I just don't know why you can't just go to another drive an play whatever it is you want to play. This would be a nice new feature in my opinion. For now just add a folder under the folder you have as your library and add new music there and you will be able to play new stuff from folder view. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57802 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I also like the fact that the author has been here for a long time and listens to what people like. This is important to me as I feel he will take comments and requests into consideration as a long time user of our equipment. But on the other side of things, the apps aren't that expensive so why not support all of them if you are able to? I'm not at this time but in the past that's what I would have done. I had to choose this time and I picked Ipeng but I think the others are pretty good too. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57225 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've been holding off upgrading because of the lack of a working xm radio. I have ipeng on my sons touch and if xm worked on it I would upgrade. I just don't want to lose my XM. I like my Opie and Anthony for some perverted reason. : ) -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57963 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Waveinput simply > captures the sound card and sends it on to your Squeeze device. I've had no luck with the wave input plugin. Probably because of the onboard soundcard. I'd like an integrated version of this to play. Would be nice as there is a lot of good music on this site. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58001 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
