But I've not been able to reproduce it. SC is running fine on my W7b. What other application are you running? Any 3rd party hardware drivers? Antivirus? From a technical pov I'm convinced this is a Windows 7 issue. No normal application should be able to make Windows die with a BOD. That's why I've been asking for drivers or antivirus: they're often running at a much lower level than applications which makes Windows more vulnerable.

Ahh. Just re-read the thread and came across this. What we have here (for us long suffering European residents) seems to be a chink in the Logitech "you have to use our decrepit European distribution system so we can keep our differential pricing" armour.

It's not a trial, it's a 30 day money back if not satisfied guarantee. I was interested in buying multiple returned Transporters and Slim Devices said they don't sale them (and commented that few get returned anyway). Transporters are actually sold brand new to the buyers. Slim Devices guarantees that they will take it back before the end of 30 days if your not satisfied. They don't ask you up front if you want a trail or used unit nor do they offer any such program. Everybody that buys one, gets a brand new factory sealed Transporter. Slim Devices has no way of knowing if your going to keep it or not, so it *-HAS-* to be brand new because you probably will keep it. Additionally, the Transporter is the one of the devices that Slim Devices sells that has a decent profit margin on it. They are not going to get rich off the sales of Transporters, but they are going to keep making them as long as there is demand and decent retail price support. I love mine and was going to put one in each of our vacation homes, our two luxury rentals, and pick one up for my dad on the cheap, if I could have bought the returns. I think another reason the returns don't go on the used market is to help support the current retail price. If the returns are not sold to the public, they can't end up on EBAY, which is probably a wise decision. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59922 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SqueezeCenter and Windows 7 Beta
Hello, Lets preface that this is general discussion and I fully understand that Windows 7 is developmental software and that nowhere on the slim devices website it says they fully support windows 7. This is solely for general discussion/feedback on Windows 7 along with SqueezeCenter. My son and I are trying out the new Windows 7 beta on a few computers, and have come across a few issues. Since we have installed SqueezeCenter, it seems that the computer will hang for a few seconds and then issue a BSOD (Blue screen of death). We are not sure if this is aimed directly at SqueezeCenter and probably isn't 100%) but it seems like every time the pc crashes SqueezeCenter has been running. SqueezeCenter does seem to run fine though for hours, but just am curious if anyone else is having any issues. For developers, the BSOD page has not eluted to SqueezeCenter specifically. Has anyone else had any success/crashes with SqueezeCenter?

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge
I also recently compiled squeezeslave-0.8 on a Fedora x64 system. It is working pretty well at the moment, though there are a couple of FLAC files on which it consistently stutters. One interesting thing I noticed was that hitting the pause button on the web interface and then hitting play starts the current track from the beginning. I am pretty sure that version 0.7 did not exhibit this behaviour. This occurs with or without the -O flag. SoftSqueeze on my Windows PC does not do this. Rather it starts the track from the point at which it was paused. Is this the expected behaviour or a bug? I tried attaching the binary file in case you would like to post it on SourceForge, but the gzipped tarball exceeded the forum file size limit. Please let me know how I can upload this file.

Re: [slim] FireFox error connecting to SqueezeCenter
FF can be somewhat paranoid about "busy" scripts. Basically, it has a timer and if the script runs "too long", it complains. But it neglects to figure out "oh, wait, the script is running too long because I am running a bunch of stuff in the background". Ie, it is measureing 'real time' not 'cpu time of the script', so a slow or just plain busy machine will trigger it. I get it periodically at slashdot when I have a bunch of things going on... I just click the continue and go on (it beats the old behavior where a loop in a script would drag the browser to its knees while it tried to figure things out..) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Windows Home Server
I got in with WHS on the ground floor as part of the beta. "Discovered" the SqueezeBox Duet last year and revolutionised my music listening using the WHS (my review on We Got Served here: http://www.wegotserved.co.uk/2008/04...squeezeserver/) Have installed the SC WHS Add-in which appears to work well. from the point of view of managing SC from within the WHS Console if you take the view that it is the WHS administrator that will be the only one accessing the Console then a tab showing that Sc is installed and running would be helpful as well as the ability to restart SC from within the Console. As has been already pointed out most other functions are accessible via the SC browser interface. >From what I have read so far starting SC automatically on a WHS restart has been addressed. Having an option to automatically install or at least be told about a newer version of SC would also be handy. I don't know if it is within the remit of SC or possibly as a plug-in that would rip CD's onto the WHS integrated into SC OK so there is RipNAS and others that would do this but there would appear to be some merit in integrating into SC? Anyway keep up the great work, I certainly encourage anyone who cares to listen to download SC and use SoftSqueeze to experience what a great bit of hardware\software SqueezeBox are and SqueezeCenter are.

[slim] Update Duet Controller as remote for your amp, now with volume control
To control your amp with your Duet Controller you can use the enclosed zip file. This example only works for a NAD amplifier (C352). But if you know the IR codes of your own amplifier you can easily change the applets for your amplifier. In the previous verson of the applet it was not possible to control the volume with the normal buttons of the controller, this option is now added. The enclosed zip file contains the following: 1. A map NADIR 2. The file Volume.lua The applet under NADIR gives a extra menu in your controller to control your amp with IR codes for power on/off, volume up/down and input select. It is easy to add other functions but i did not needed that. The file Volume.lua changes the function of the volume buttons on your controller to also send IR codes to the amp if you use the normal volume buttons on your controller. It is best to fix the output in SqueezeCenter Setting to 100% (otherwise the volume applet gives a combination of IR control and digital volume control). Installation 1. Unpack the RemoteAmp.zip file. 3. Copy the map NADIR to your controller (usr/share/jive/applets). 4. Copy the file Volume.lua to your controller (usr/share/jive/applets/Slimbrowser) WARNING: THIS MAP ALREADY CONTAINS A FILE Volume.lua. BACKUP THIS FILE BEFORE COPYING. To copy the files to your controller enable external acces on your remote (SSH) and copy with for instance winscp. The remote functions are now available under the home menu on your controller.

I never claimed "shortly". Which plugins are you after? I do have Jive menus running so anything that uses them will work (e.g. CustomBrowse, TrackStat, RandomMix, CDPlayer etc.). Plugins on NowPlaying will not yet work since NowPlaying will require a full overhaul (and yes: I WILL change the graphics then, and no, I will NOT introduce 3D effects). Also, plugins that don't support Jive menus (that is: don't work with SBC) will not work then, as will anything requiring LUA. The latter will stay that way, the former will change since I plan to introduce the iPeng skin's plugin scheme in a later version to allow for SOME active content (through JavaScript). Can't do the LUA part because that violates Apple's license agreement and for that part I know they enforce it. Unfortunately some of my favorite plugins (like Biography and Lyrics) currently require LUA hence the decision to introduce the iPeng plugin scheme as well. The 1.1 version right now is very close to beta state, I will send out first samples (not yet full beta) as early as today. First beta release will probably follow this week. HOWEVER: Even though 1.1 still looks pretty similar to 1.0.5 so far, the whole backend got changed and this required more extensive changes than originally thought, especially moving to notification updates (instead of polling), a change originally scheduled for 1.2. So I assume this will require extensive testing, I don't want to run into a situation like with 1.0.3 again where I released a version that turned out to be more buggy than it's predecessor. Testing takes time and it depends on the outcome how soon 1.1 gets released.

Usually this is a permissions issue. The user that SC is running under needs to have read and write permissions in the directory you have specified for the playlist.

No. You'll need to apply the patch manually. At the top level of the squeezeslave directory; (ie. where the makefiles are) run this command. patch -p0 -i squeezeslave-0.8-r25-26.patch you can try the daemonize patch as well. I don't know if they can both be applied. Unfortunately, I need to refactor the daemonize patch to allow the win32 version of squeezeslave to compile, which is why I didn't include it in r26 release. I'm actually in the process of cleaning up squeezeslave.c as it's become hard to maintain with all the resent feature enhancements, which is great! -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54124 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Which version of Squeezecenter are you running? I released 0.8-26 to help debug another issue. -O has worked for a long time, no need for 0.8-26 for this problem. I suspect something else is happening with pause as --oldplayer only changes the player type advertised to SC from squeezeslave to softsqueeze. Try adding -O -m00:00:00:00:00:02 when starting squeezeslave, this will create a new softsqueeze player with default settings. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54124 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Live and learn :-) Unfortunately this is a common practice among many online retailers. One of the tricks to getting you to their site and order from them is to post very low prices for the searched item, but then insist you "contact them" to confirm your order. When you do call them they try to sell you *extras* like extended warranties and will even try to sell you accessories that should be included with the original item. When you don't buy enough "extras" then all of a sudden they no longer have the original item in stock. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58525 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge
Squeezeslave has supported replay gain since at least 0.7.5 if not before. Unfortunately the squeezeslave player type in squeezecenter disables replayGainMode by default. If your running SC on linux you can change the line in server/Slim/Player/SqueezeSlave.pm from 'replayGainMode' => 0, to 'replayGainMode' => 1, and restart SC. I guess I should submit a bug for it. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54124 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I really think the SC server should reside within the SR box (OK this would require a processor and enough memory for the data base). That way a user could: 1. Plug in a USB drive, wireless/wired Net and get going(or no network at all!) 2. Store the music files on a PC/NAS and link via samba, thus not having to go through all the drama of installing SC on the said PC/NAS (just store the files). To me that would be a winner.

(using my best Jack Benny immitation) Ya knw,... For some reason 30 day trials..or any number of day trials, rub me the wrong way. It might sound rediculous...wait, it even sound rediculous to me, but I don't think it's fair for the companies who offer these trials to sell the merchandise as new after they send it out for trial. I know some companies have open box sales, but just as often they simply box it back up and send it out, especially when there is minimal profit involved and it's an expensive item. I just don't feel like I'm being fair to Logitech or anyone else. I'm what they call an advanced amateur photographer and with the onset of the digital age, DSLR cameras have become quite expensive. Most reputable dealers offer a liberal return period on these cams and it seems just as often you hear about someone who purchases a camera from these dealers that has hundreds of activations on it. Personally I don't feel it's fair to pay the exact same amount of money for a slightly used camera as it is for a brand new one. Feeling that way is why I am opposed (for myself) to trial periods on devices. Another part of the issue for myself is that I have no doubt the Transporter will work as advertised, but the part I care about is one of personal taste and it doesn't sit well with me to use a piece of equipment and return it based on my personal tastes. I know all of this seems silly and I think there are ways around it. I would love to find one locally to listen to (not likely) or if companies would make trial models available. The automobile business does it. You have demo models that are used for test drives and then sold at a reduced price because the dealer has depreciated the vehicle. Same thing for local sound shops. When I purchased my equipment years ago I took home floor models to try over night. As long as I didn't damage them I didn't have to pay for anything and the shop would sell them as floor models at the end of the year. Anyway, like I said, it's just a personal quirk of mine and I'm willing to wait for the opportunity to hear one local to myself. Nuts, huh?
