Re: [slim] Windows Home Server
Are you sure it is possible/advisable to install an Add-in without uninstalling the previous version? The more time I spend on this, the less optimistic I am. In fact, a msi file requires you to uninstall any previous version if the _filename_ changes. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but it's stupid. If we want to have the build number in the filename, we'll have to do the full uninstall/re-install cycle. Except for the time spent for the uninstall this would be acceptable. But WHS is even more stupid: it doesn't keep track of its registry key responsible for the add-in list. Ok, I can teach the installer to do this job for the WHS Console. But worst of all: you can't uninstall and replace a dll which is being used. Thus you can't run an update of a WHS add-in from the WHS Console, as while you're running the installer, that very WHS Console is still using the old add-in version... I still have to figure out what magic WHS developers are expected to apply to make this user friendly. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

That's fairly standard for compilers. Perlapp isn't really a compiler though. It bundles the Perl compiler and the libraries used inside the exe-package and unpacks it all before running. That's why you'll notice that the start up time is slower because of the unpacking. I know the Logitech guys use perlapp for packaging SqueezeCenter, so they could have packed it for you too.

[slim] Resampling with sox
As of version 7.3.2 extended resampling is supported: Improved playback of high-resolution audio tracks. Sound eXchange (SoX) now resamples higher-rate FLAC or Ogg tracks to lower sample-rate FLAC compatible with your player. Previous 7.3.1 release resampled only to MP3 format. My question is: is it possible to select the output bit depth for resampling? My DAC is a 16-bit DAC, so the last bits get truncated. And is it possible to select the preferred sampling frequency? I would like to transcode 96kHz in 48kHz and 88.2kHz in 44.1kHz as the sampling frequency is then halved. -- lauret lauret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17632 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60305 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] iLibs to manage large iTunes music library
I found a product called iLibs (http://www.copytrans.net/ilibs.php) by accident and quickly found that it solved a problem that I was having managing iTunes my Squeezebox Duet. Squeezebox Duet only supports one music folder - in my case, my iTunes folder. I wanted to be able to continue to add music to iTunes and exceed the 160 gig limit if my classic iPod. So my issue wasn't having multiple people with multiple iPods using the same computer to sync to the same library - what iLibs was designed for. In my case I am the only one using my laptop but I have a 160 gig iPod classic, a 2 gig Nano (for audio books) and the Squeezebox Duet - all accessing the same library. No problem - iLibs works fine for this. I just set up a Squeezebox library into which I dump all new CDs. I then set up three users using iLibs, one for the main libary that the Squeezebox Duet uses, one for the iPod classic, a smaller, subset of the main, larger library and one for my Nano. Switching back and forth with iLibs is a snap. -- garypine garypine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60306 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Artist logic bug?
It's an attempt by the DB to detect artists with non-exact matches to be considered the same artist. In your case, I think it's due to the setting that allows configurable article names to be ignored for sorting. Accented characters has a similar issue. José Gonzalez and Jose Gonzalez are seen to be the same artist, but the name displayed in the app is dependent on the order that the scanner scanned the files. If you correct a tag to make the names consistent, a rescan for new/changed files doesn't correct it - a full rescan is required. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Playing music not in SqueezeCenter library
Ive had my SB Duet for a month and really love it but I am getting more and more frustrated over the inability to play any file/folder that is not in the music library. Rescanning my library takes ages and I want to be able to play new music immediately before adding to the library (that is done after verifying that all tags are correct and when any missing covers have been downloaded). Also, occasionally I listen to classical music that I do not want in my library and it still happens that I buy old-fashioned CDs that I want to play without ripping. How come this basic functionally has not been given priority?

[slim] Playing Specific Track Artist Using a 'Service'
Hi all So... it has been discussed in a number of threads that the Lastfm functionality in Squeezecentre doesn't allow the user to play a specific track by a specific artist. We can only assume that this is due to licensing restrictions. Perhaps this will follow in time. Also, similarly, it doesn't appear to be possible to control your Squeezebox directly from the Lastfm website for instance. Once again this must be due to similar restrictions. My question is, how about if I am willing to pay and subscribe to a service that allows me to play specific artist and track on demand through my Squeezebox, does a service like this exist? I have researched this in depth over the last 6 months or so and so far I have been unable to identify a reasonable solution. Funnily enough, when I demonstrate the system to friends, the first thing they want to do is find their favorite artist and track and I have to say well... erm... I can play you similar artists but not the specific song you want to hear. They always say nah! it's alright. Don't get me wrong the my radio style solution suits me great but you have to be able to spend time evolving your radio station and mine now sounds great. When my dad comes around he wants to listen to reggae and ska artists and they are not really what i listen to. Obviously there is a work around using the feedback loop approach and playing my PC soundcard directly through the Squeezebox. This way I just play tracks from the Lastfm website, but there is a bit of a delay and it is not really an integrated solution. Now, I hope I am just missing something and that I am talking rot, feel free to tell me, but I am pretty sure that there isnt a service out there that wants my money and provides the full package.

Data is now initially cached on first load, and future cache updates are automatically downloaded in the background if a server rescan has taken place since the cache was last updated. Manual resyncs are no longer necessary * Cache the artists list for improved performance * Improved support for servers with authentication enabled when auto-detecting server, with a simple authentication dialog (no manual settings required other than username/password) * Fixed bug where Squeemote would stop receiving updates after being locked for a period of time -- Luke Redpath Luke Redpath's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60243 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
