I would add it to the settings pane, or as a new item in More. well, even though during 1.1 (and only there) some player or server related functionality should will show up in the main menu (and new plugin features probably always will), the general idea is to bundle all player and server centric functionalities on NowPlaying. Also: The servers need to be there because in 1.2 you are supposed to be able to move players between servers using D'n'D, which is especially important for using SN. I found the default skin for Squeezecenter to be usable in horizontal mode on the iPhone. This suggestion is just so you can punt and not have to muck up your interface with too many settings. Hm.

There's another issue with Squeezeslave that it will sometimes not accept volume changes but that will result in the handle popping back instead of not being accessible. When I try to control one of my soft-players sometimes it will take 3 or 4 misses to get a hit on the volume control. Also volume control on the iPOD app. is not that bad. Yes, but as stated before, that's NOT the UISlider control, but a MPVolumeView which does behave quite different (much better) but directly acts on the system volume.

Re: [slim] Anyone using a SSD on a Windows machine with SC?
Glad to see I'm not on unchartered ground :-) I used it all last night and everything seems to be normal or a hair better. Menus snap opena and shut. iTunes loads much faster also. I had a WD 36GB Raptor in there before and even though they are touted as very quiet, it was anything but. You could hear it reading from 10-15' away. 20 watts is pretty darn good too. Do you have a graphics board, etc in yours? I'm using the onboard graphics, but no monitor. I use Desktop Remote to get in to it when necessary, which isn't often.

Re: [slim] Rhapsody Subscribers....
Hi, Recently I have found that Rhapsody channels are working much better, not sure if was 7.3 upgrade or Rhapsody fixing stuff but either way it seems a lot better than it was. However it still fails sometimes and here is what I have noticed... Rhapsody channels occasionally play tracks that they apparently have no right to play, t is not uncommon to hear a track on a channel that is neither listed nor available on Rhapsody. I have always assumed this was because it was available at one time and got stuck in rotation, but then they lost their rights. Anyway what I have noticed is that song will play fine, but within a couple of tracks everything hangs up with the authentication error. I have some artist channels that are much worse than others and I have noticed this correlation to frequency of non-authorized tracks. Maybe it is something you can think about. -- texmass texmass's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57304 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Anyone using a SSD on a Windows machine with SC?
Using the on-board video, but the machine is running headless on a shelf out in the garage. You could run it with no video card however. I either use SSH or the FreeNas web interface to manage it. I had XP running on it before but found that FreeNas was much more stable and a lot faster. I guess that's what you get from an OS that boots out of 96MB or so. It took a couple of days of mucking about to get the configuration the way I liked it but now I could build up one of these in about 30 minutes or so. I also have a 1.5 TB external drive plugged in to it and a cron job backs up the library at 2:00AM every day. The box was purpose built as a music server. As a bonus it does DAAP so the library shows up in iTunes (or a Roku, gasp!!) also. I do not have a power meter but would guess that it is pretty low wattage when the HD is idling. I have to add that I am an IT professional that builds and maintains high performance heterogeneous networks and graphics workstations for Medical Imaging and get to play with some very high end stuff, but every time I light up my Squeezebox or Boom it puts a smile on my face and I marvel at the technology and the community surrounding it. -- Relwell Relwell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20448 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60181 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Album info makes track selection difficult
I recently purchased a Squeezebox Duet and started with a small selection of my online tracks. After installation I read the manual, and installed it again. All is working fine now, with a wired connection to the squeezebox, and my music collection on a Synology Diskstation 207+. But I am not very happy with the standard result when you select an artist. I would like to see the available tracks (numbers) for that artist, but instead I see a list of albums with names that give me no clue about the underlying tracks. At the moment I have about 12000 songs by 5000 artists divided over 6500 albums, nearly all compilation albums. So the album names are completely useless, because most of the time I see a bunch of albums with each one single track. And moreover, the option all tracks appears at the end of the list, so I have to scroll down first before I can select that option. While the Squeezecenter website control shows all tracks as the first option. Is it possible for the Squeezebox Controller to shows all tracks as the first option before all the albums. Or is it possible to skip the albums completely and directly show all available tracks after selecting an artist? I looked in the forums, but did not find recent postings about this issue.

If you don't want to run a beta, there are some good instructions for installing the old way (exe file) on the ripcaster site. There is currently a bug in the WHS installer where it will list every version in the installed add-ins list unless you uninstall via the console before installing each update. If you don't update often, it shouldn't be a big deal to do it that way. With the WHS installer, you also get a Squeezecenter tab in the console which allows you to start/stop SC, run cleanup tasks, and a few other things.

You can either install it by remotely logging in (something new for me), or by adding program manager which allows you to access the MSS's desktop just like a regular PC. MSS will warn you that it's not recommended, but I haven't seen any problems. You will need need to right click on the install program to unblock it, i.e. let Windows Home Server trust it for installation. Also, make sure you choose to run Squeezecenter as a service.

Re: [slim] please help me pick a new router
I got rid of all Duet compatibility issues when I got a Linksys WRT610N. Also supports HDTV wireless streaming to my TV in a 2 level home (router upstairs, TV downstairs). I should note I had another linksys before (WRT54GX4 SRX400, if memory servies) and that was a compatibility disaster with the Duet. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 Ubuntu 8.10 64 Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tuned by Darmstadt Psychoacoustics Lab Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60201 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Software Player Synchronisation Rallying call!
Well, I got around to testing SoftSqueeze with 7.3.2 yesterday and it won't even play in sync mode whereas it sync'd fine on 7.2.1 on exactly the same hardware. Sync one way and the SB continues but no output from SS, sync the other and the SB stops playing as well. I really think development should have been continued with SoftSqueeze whilst there is no viable alternative except to buy another hardware player to fill the gap. Ah. Penny just dropped. -- Mick Seymour Mick Seymour's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21137 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60075 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Software Player Synchronisation Rallying call!
I really think development should have been continued with SoftSqueeze whilst there is no viable alternative We're rather concentrating on the new software than trying to fix legacy code. SqueezePlay will be much better as a player than SoftSqueeze has ever been. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
