[slim] Home Server - Dilemma - Any recommendations?

I went to order on the website but chanced upon this software http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/MUSIC_SOFTWARE_DRIVES.html I can see a lot of benefits of this and would make the re-ripping of my library to FLAC ongoing music management a lot quicker and easier, however it will only run on Windows Home Server. Not sure on what to do, does anyone know of similar software on Linux that provides a more automated solution or would I have to go for a WHS type solution ?

I highly recommend the Canon Powershot SD line. I've had one for years, and it's been great. My wife got the 'SD1100IS' (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD1100IS-Digital-Stabilized/dp/B0012YC7AE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8s=electronicsqid=1235748290sr=1-1) model last year, and it also takes fantastic pictures. I've recommended them to friends, and everyone who has bought one loves it. It's shirtpocket small, but has great optics and firmware; the pictures are generally outstanding. I've had photography snobs see my pictures and be wowed, then try to start a conversation about what kind of fancy gear I used. When I tell 'em it was just a little pocket point-and-shoot camera they look startled and change the subject. Battery life is very good (obviously longer if you're not using the flash), but get a spare battery anyway, so you can keep using the camera while one battery is in the charger. And of course, get a big SD card or two (8 GB cards have come way down in price, and hold a ton of photos). Oh, and get one that has an actual viewfinder window, in addition to the LCD screen.

[slim] Intel Atom: Suitable for transcoding?
Hey guys, Thought I'd make my first post here, as I'm contemplating making my own little server for SC and video streaming to my Xbox. Basically, I've just sent back a Buffalo Linkstation because it was too slow; I use iTunes so a fair few of my music files are in AAC format, so they needed to be transcoded before being sent to my SLiMP3. I'm hoping someone has some experience with the Atom, and knows how suitable it would be for transcoding, as that's obviously important for me. I'll be running Ubuntu Server, and will be pairing the Atom with 2GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD.

It looks like VortexBox will do everything that AVA Media does. VortexBox rips CDs to FLAC and MP3 automatically and downloads the cover art. VortexBox is free instead of the £39 that AVA Media costs. And you don't have to spend $100 on Windows Home Server.

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
I finally took the plunge, and picked up an Ipod Touch to use as a controller with iPeng to run a new Squeezebox receiver. The short version is.I love it! The longer version - Some comments/questions: 1) Performance is generally very good, especially considering I have a library of almost 8000 mostly FLAC albums. The one area that was slow is the screen I intended to be my standard view - The Artists-All Albums list. I prefer this list order for browsingjust like you would see them in a record store. When I first selected this item, all you see is a blank screen. (I assume is is getting/sorting the list). It takes a VERY long time for anything to display. When it does, it is very responsive. I have seen vague comments that this timing will improve... is this true? If I left the list and returned, it still took a long time to load. 2) Blank screens - on the above mentioned view and on search, when something is actually happening but all you see is a blank screen, it is hard to tell if the device is actually doing anything. Some sort of progress indicator would help immensely. 3) Custom Browse - I have seen some comments about CustomBrowse with iPeng - but I assume they were talking about the plug-in, right? And these are planned to be supported in 1.1? Do I have that right? 4) Pre-fetch - I appreciate that you have set it up so that it does not lag while loading artwork.but is there anyway to add an option to pre-fetch all artwork? I would like to have all the art in place when flipping thru the LONG list of albums, and would be willing to set aside the iPod and wait while it grabbed all of this data, rather than populating it as it was browsed. 5) Search navigation - The one place I got confused in the UI was while using the search screen. When the keyboard is up, I wasn't sure how to escape. I didn't intuitvly realize that I needed to make the keyboard disappear to open up my navigation options. Maybe it's just me, but it was a little confusing. 6) Pauses in tracks - When I performed a search, it caused to audio playback to stop. It also took a very long time to return a result. With no progress indicator, no results shown for a long time, and an audio dropout, I had assumed the app had crashed. Ids the search time due to the size of the library? Or is something else happening here?

Good to hear that. The longer version - Some comments/questions: always welcome! Seriously! 1)... The Artists-All Albums list. I prefer this list order for browsingjust like you would see them in a record store. When I first selected this item, all you see is a blank screen. (I assume is is getting/sorting the list). It takes a VERY long time for anything to display. When it does, it is very responsive. I have seen vague comments that this timing will improve... is this true? If I left the list and returned, it still took a long time to load. You guess right, it's the sorting. I really want to improve this on 1.1 - all other lists do already live without sorting, this one will need some special consideration. If you want to make sure I don't forget it, please file a ticket :-) https://trac.penguinlovesmusic.de/trac/ipengnat/newticket 2) Blank screens - on the above mentioned view and on search, when something is actually happening but all you see is a blank screen, it is hard to tell if the device is actually doing anything. Some sort of progress indicator would help immensely. Err.. Yes. For this screen, I plan on one, Search will be a bit more difficult, I'll see... 3) Custom Browse - I have seen some comments about CustomBrowse with iPeng - but I assume they were talking about the plug-in, right? And these are planned to be supported in 1.1? Do I have that right? Yes, that's currently beta testing. Quite cool. 4) Pre-fetch - I appreciate that you have set it up so that it does not lag while loading artwork.but is there anyway to add an option to pre-fetch all artwork? I would like to have all the art in place when flipping thru the LONG list of albums, and would be willing to set aside the iPod and wait while it grabbed all of this data, rather than populating it as it was browsed. Short answer: mostly no. The problem is two-fold. #1: Getting the artwork onto the device. I could indeed add a prefetch for this (another ticket?). But this will only get you half of what you want since... #2 Displaying the artwork while scrolling requires the images to be created in memory (RAM) since scrolling consumes almost all of iPhone's computing power and there is simply no way I can cram 8,000 images (plus all the radio artwork) into memory, it would alone consume more than I believe is typically available. There's another thing, however that I would like to do (ticket #3?): Do a more intelligent read-ahead that gives a chance to get artwork into memory you are likely to need next. Will probably give you the desired effect. 5) Search navigation - The one place I got confused in the UI was while using the search screen. When the keyboard is up, I wasn't sure how to escape. I didn't intuitvly realize that I needed to make the keyboard disappear to open up my navigation options. Maybe it's just me, but it was a little confusing. Yes, but I didn't find a way to place the keyboard above the buttons. Apple Remote does it the same way. 6) Pauses in tracks - When I performed a search, it caused to audio playback to stop. It also took a very long time to return a result. With no progress indicator, no results shown for a long time, and an audio dropout, I had assumed the app had crashed. Is the search time due to the size of the library? Or is something else happening here? Maybe. And maybe your server is a bit slow. And - agreed - iPeng is quit demanding here, since it starts an incremental search with one character only. Actually it's a bad design on SC's side since iPeng only fetches 8 elements per category and those should really be available fast, but obviously SC does a full query first. I consider doing it the same way as the controller and require two or three characters before starting search. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Recommend a portable USB HDD for backups?
Kyle;401424 Wrote: Pat, I actually ordered the SD1100 from newegg today. It was packaged with a 4gb card and a case at a good price. I'm sure my wife will be fine with it. I found a pretty good review site that gave shutterlag figures and reset figures, and it measured up pretty well. Gotta be better than what she's using now. Thanks for the advice (even though it was in the wrong thread!). There are a few things you can do in some instances to make your camera trip the shutter faster. The camera is spending time trying to calculate, shutter speed, focus, etc.. If you can set the exposure manually, you shorten the time the camera takes to do that. In some cases the exposure doesn't change from shot to shot so you can set it and forget it. Next, if the camera has a manual focus mode and it is easy enough use, then you can use that in cases where you know the focus point. Say you're shooting your kids baseball game. The play is going to be at second base. Manually focus on second and wait for the action to happen there. If you set the focus and exposure ahead of time, the camera will trip very quickly. It takes a bit of thinking for a while, but there are lotsof cases where you can preset focus and exposure and then catch the action. Your other option is to spend $800+ on a camera body. The more you spend the less the lag time.

Re: [slim] Bass and Treble Reset
Mine used to do that, too... Every time I turned it on. supoer, duper annoying. However, the last few times I used it, it seemed to behave properly. I assumed it was 7.3.2 that fixed it, as that was about the time I remember it working. I'll test it again tomorrow and let you know. It literally used to do it every time, so if it doesn'y do it then something changed in 7.3.2.

[slim] [ANN] Squeemote 1.2, now with device sync!
Thanks to a quick turnaround from Apple this week (only three days), I'm happy to announce that Squeemote 1.2 is now available. The biggest feature in this release is the new quick device selector and device sync functionality. There is also some added extras such as browse by genre and other UI tweaks, various bug fixes and performance improvements. Here's a complete changelog: * NEW: Device synching controls * NEW: Device power on/off toggle * NEW: Improved pop-up device selection screen * IMPROVED: Tweaked the current playlist UI and how it appears * NEW: Browse library by genre * NEW: Device mute control * NEW: Library browser tab order can be reordered * IMPROVED: Better data caching mechanism. 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 * IMPROVED: Artists list is cached 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 * FIXED: no longer makes more requests to the server than necessary to maintain state which should lead to better performance. * FIXED: playback timer would sometimes reset unexpectedly and become out of sync I've also pushed out a few changes to the 'Squeemote website' (http://lukeredpath.co.uk/squeemote). Enjoy the new release and if you've been holding off of trying out Squeemote because of its lack of device sync capabilities, I ask you to give it a try. Work on 1.3 has already begun in earnest.
