I keep trying things, not liking them, and trying other things. I then retry the SB now and again and wish I liked it better. Best solution at this point seems to be that my DAC has 4 inputs (toslink, usb, bnc, rca) and so for some tasks I use the SB, for others I plug in a laptop, for others I connect a cd player, and I may add an airport express to the mix to fill in the holes. -- drs drs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3536 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have a 160 gb hard drive with my entire music collection on it, discretely tucked up under my dash for easy access (adding music). - For Internet Radio listening there is the Slacker portable units.

Re: [slim] General Dissatisfaction
I don't know if you've already tried this but, one thing that helped me when I had a similar problem was to select a whole album in MP3Tag and look at details in the left hand panel. Anything that shows has different values for that field. Obviously that's OK for title + track, but it should be the same for Artist, album etc. Also check the album art is the same. I had problems in my library with album art that looked identical, but wasn't and with tags containing extra spaces or typos. If the tags don't match then Squeezecenter thinks it's a different album - after all we're talking computers here, not common sense!

You should set the DNS address of your desktop to the address of your router. IMHO in most cases the router gets the address(es) of internet DNS server(s) when it establishes a connection to the internet/your internet provider. This way it is able to translate names to IP addresses. In your LAN, the router acts as a local DNS to translate the names of your LAN devices to (local) IP addresses, so your LAN devices can talk with each other. If the router cannot find a name in your LAN (i.e. you typed a www address into the address line of your web browser), it asks the internet DNS server to translate this name to an IP address. In short: The DNS of your router is needed on the one hand to allow your local devices to find each other and on the other hand to let you find other systems in the internet. So IMHO it is reasonable to set the DNS server address of your local devices to the address of your router. -- carp Carsten carp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60727 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox radio for a car?
When Solid State Discs become cheaper (still), having a little Atom-based SC and a Duet combo in the car might become an interesting option. (Shock-proof) Or maybe just SC+SqueezeSlave+SBC and play from the li'l Atom PC to the car stereo. The PC could even roam for access points, in order to get SN. I’ve seen "open" (or cheap) access points on camping sites... Syncing the music between the "home" SC and the "car" SC could then be done via WLAN and rsync while the car was parked in front of your house. Eventually, someone might even come up with a unit that fits into the car stereo opening and has a nice (aka SB3) display... :-) -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60852 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The only thing I can say is that until now every time time I had this kind of problems in the end it was _my_ mistake: most of the time I did something wrong in the tags (typing error, etc.). What's curious is that you have the album twice, where one of the 'copies' is complete.

How would it be different if the UI weren't web-based? When you drill down to the level of track details, are you getting the *exact* same file location for the duplicated tracks, or are they different locations? What format are the files? Most of my tagging headaches come from the small percentage of MP3 files I have, which can contain both v1 and v2 ID3 tags. Most software will not reveal when you have multiple sets of tags. The best for diagnosing this is mp3tag. Also, do you have playlists? A long time ago (slimserver 6.3 or so) there was a problem with apparent duplicates because of playlists. I think that bug has been dead for a long time, but if you have playlists, try temporarily disabling them and see if the problem persists. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I wouldn't go that far. Hyperthreading on the Pentium 4 had serious issues. It worked well on some workloads, and very poorly on others, giving an overall "meh" level of performance. Hyperthreading can also have an unfortunate effect. If you're running two pieces of work, it would slow both down, making the system seem slow. The total time of doing both would be faster than doing one then the other, so it was an overall win, but the immediate impact was negative. On other architectures, and the Atom is very different from the P4, it can be quite useful. I don't know enough about how Atom works to say for certain, but it's more likely useful than it was on the P4.

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
To ease the waiting for the next iPeng release, here's a little review on what it will do and how it will probably look like: http://penguinlovesmusic.de/2009/03/03/preview-ipeng-goes-squeezenetwork/ It's currently in beta testing and not all of the features/changes envisioned for it are done but the big architecture changes are through (I hope). What will it do? Well, a lot of details, but mainly two things: *Plugins* It uses the SqueezePlay menu system so it will be able to support all plugins that provide menus for the controller (and don't require LUA) *SqueezeNetwork* And it will work with SqueezeNetwork, so you can shut down your server if you like :-) Have Fun! Edit: neilcoburn, just saw your post. Well, it's beta and it does still have bugs.

[slim] Harmony, Receiver, SB3 confusion
Hi, everyone. I'm just getting back going with my Squeeze setup after being too busy to really deal with it for a year or two. As an original owner of a plain old Squeezebox way back when, I'm really pleased and impressed at how innovative the company remains, even after the Logitech acquisition. Kudos! However, I'm a bit stumped at how to achieve my goals. I'm sure it's doable, I'm just rusty with this stuff and don't know where to start. My setup: - Downstairs: Squeezebox Receiver, connected by TOSLink to an AV receiver - Upstairs: SB3, connected by analog to powered speakers - Remotes: Harmony 890, Harmony wireless extender (currently downstairs, feeding AV receiver and a Mac Mini running Plex), Squeezebox Controller, iPhone with iPeng. Ideally, I'd like to be able to control everything from the Harmony remote -- at least for volume, mute, pause, play, etc. The problem, I think, is that the Receiver doesn't accept IR commands. And the Controller doesn't send IR. Can any of you clever folk find a way for me to control the AV receiver's volume, the SB3's volume, and pause/mute/skip SqueezeCenter, all from one single remote? -- aiken aiken's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60873 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

At the present time it is only configured to emulate the SB3's IR remote, but it is possible to reprogram it to send other codes. Search on these forums, because recently there was someone who posted the mappings to control one particular line of amps via the SBC's IR emitter. So you might be able to get something worked out using the SBC to control everything, using IR or TCP/IP as needed. But the Harmony would be out of the picture because it can't control the SBR (I don't know anything about that Harmony remote, but I'm assuming it is IR only). -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60873 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I've just tested AlienBBC 2.4-7.3 on Vista with 7.4 25272 and on WebUI AlienBBC - BNBC Live Streams menu, the +, heart and play icons appeared on RHS. I have assumed that the Internet Radio->Alien BBC->BBC Live streams menu is what you have referred to as "Favorites" as AlienBBC does not put anything into the top menu Favorites and that you installed AlienBBC using Extension Downloader and did not modify any files. Since nobody else has described your problem and I can't reproduce it - I think it is an installation issue. With Windows some strange caching effects can happen and I suggest rebooting the PC first as this can clear odd problem users have had with AlienBBC.

Re: [slim] Harmony, Receiver, SB3 confusion
No agillis, the SBR doesn't have an IR receiver. One possible hack to get the SBR responding to the Harmony is to add an IR receiver to your server, then throw together some scripts to tie button presses to the Squeezecenter CLI. However, this approach would generally only work if your server is in some proximity to your SBR. In your case aiken, why not match the SBR with the powered speakers, and the SB3 with the A/V receiver? Otherwise, it's probably simplest to just get another SB3 and sell the SBR if you don't need another player. -- cooppw02 cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60873 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm glad there wasn't some completely obvious solution; I'm a little rusty on my AV tech stuff, but not a complete idiot at least. I need the SB3 upstairs because it's also my alarm clock (its time display is nice). It sounds like I've made a tactical error and should have bought another SB3 for downstairs, but I was trying to be unobtrusive and use fewer displays and lights. Some kind of z-wave control would definitely be nice; I've got a Mac Mini there that could probably do something. I suppose I could also write a small app that runs on the Mac Mini, receives the SB3 IR codes, and sends them to the SBR via WiFi. All more work than I was hoping for; maybe I'm better off just selling the SBR, buying an SB3, and putting it face down or somewhere behind the stereo cabinet.

Re: [slim] Harmony, Receiver, SB3 confusion
Well, I'm 2/3 done with a hack of the type that both you and I are on the same page about. I worked at it for a little while about a month ago, and just haven't gotten around to finishing it. I have a Linux HTPC, a Harmony One remote, and an SBR. I have set up the Harmony to emulate the SB3 remote. I have set up LIRC to recognize these SB3 IR codes. I have also written a few simple scripts that are sent to Squeezecenter and control the SBR. The scripts are as simple as the following, which is a pause/play toggle. Code: #!/bin/bash echo '00:04:20:16:1a:65 pause' | nc mythbox 9090 -q 1 The MAC address is the SBR, and mythbox is a box running my Squeezecenter. The CLI documentation is all that's needed to simple variations on this. The only thing I have left to do is to write a config file pointing to those scripts for LIRC's irw program, and I also need to get irw to start on boot. You could do the same thing... LIRC does run on OS X. This isn't entirely trivial stuff though. IMO, LIRC is a complete PITA to configure. I guess it's necessarily so, because everyone is trying to use a different IR receiver, a different remote, and are trying to control different programs. -- cooppw02 cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60873 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Something like Tag&Rename could be used to search-and-replace common mistags, and that could yield "good enough". But it'll still take some time and effort, there's no getting around that. But yes, take comfort in the fact that your server is vastly overpowered and is the envy of much of the forum.

If, however, that solution is hand editing 1 > tags, it is clearly not going to get done :) What if you hand edited *just one* problem album to see what happens? Use mp3tag to delete your existing tags for one of the problem albums. Use alt-T to show and delete even the tags that don't have columns defined on spreadsheet view. Then hand input the tags, rescan, and see if it fixes it. If it does, that doesn't necessarily mean you have to hand input the rest. If your directory and filename structure is good (ie, consistent) you can delete the tags and then re-create them based on file and directory names. I've never had problems with different tag types in FLAC files, but just in case, check the "Tag" column in mp3tag. If you don't have that column, you can create it, using this as the value: %_tag_read%[ (%_tag%)]. For FLAC files it should show FLAC (FLAC) and nothing else.

Re: [slim] Intel Atom: Suitable for transcoding?
Before I go for an Atom-based system, can anyone tell for sure it would be able to stream to 2 SB's (no transcoding) -plus- stream to two (remote) software players, transcoding to 128 kbps MP3? (I plan for a N270/1.6GHz, or a Dual-core 330/2x1.6GHz; 2GB RAM, running Linux.) Worst-case scenario: 2 hardware players running locally, plus two people listening over the Internet from work. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Intel Atom: Suitable for transcoding?
The Atom chip is amazing. I was interested in you question. So I started 2 mp3 streams to VLC from my VortexBox here running on a single core Atom. I then fired up my SB3 streaming FLAC of course. Oh and I have an over night background job running converting about 1000 FLACs to mp3s. All three players sounded great 0 skip or distortion. You can see a screen shot of top below. I'm running about 17% CPU load and that's with only 512MB of RAM. I like to keep this system light to really test out VortexBox. You can see I swapped 48K of memory but that was when I fired up all three players at the same time and the CPU was already busting it's ass transcoding my FLACs. It didn't swap anymore after it re-adjusted. So the point of all this is get 1GB of memory and you should be fine. if you really want to go to town spend a few bucks more for the dual core Atom. top - 00:56:14 up 6:24, 2 users, load average: 1.68, 1.68, 1.42 Tasks: 149 total, 2 running, 147 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 17.2%us, 1.8%sy, 49.4%ni, 31.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st Mem:505532k total, 499352k used, 6180k free, 3804k buffers Swap: 786424k total, 48k used, 786376k free, 297028k cached -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Intel Atom: Suitable for transcoding?
Now -that- sounds great. Thanks for taking the effort and actually testing it, much appreciated! Taking MusicIP into account, I’ll then go for a Dual-Atom and 2GB, as originally planned. Hope I can wait for the MSI D-130, but impatient as I am I might just buy a mini-ITX dual atom board and a case and build it myself :-) Or maybe 'this one' (http://www.ixsoft.de/cgi-bin/web_store.cgi?cart_id=2703293_21759&page=Products/de/IXTH3302HW-BK.html). -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I agree that the Time Capsule is hard to get working right...it just seems flaky. I used to have an old Linksys WRT-54G router and a Iomega NAS (which isn't even a Mac format) and it worked reliably. The Time Capsule seems to go to sleep and then SqueezeCenter cannot even see it (I can tell if I try to change to a new music folder in SqueezeCenter). The old Iomega didn't ever seem to go to sleep (a bit noisy but always there when it was needed). Also it seems to set up two volumes for itself (Time Capsule and for some reason another called Time Capsule-1). So my SB Duet cannot find my music and it turns out it is now on the other volume (crazy!). Anyway, for Squeezebox I would say my Time Capsule is a $500 piece of Junk. BTW...Time Capsule also does not support QoS (whatever that is) but it means that its router blows up a lot when downloading and needs a reboot. I think that is also why it is so unreliable for SB purposes. PLUS the wireless range is tooo weak for my house, which isn't that big, and my old Linksys could do it easily from out in the yard or wherever. -- G-dude G-dude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19167 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48334 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] General Dissatisfaction
Cue's have been mentioned, some people apparently like to have a playlist in the same folder as the album ? and if you not putting in exceptions for that in SC it gets scanned with the album then you have two versions of the album. same with cue's settings>advanced>filetype "Disabled Audio File Extensions". If you use cue sheets for every album to make burning disc's easier or what not, check if have a cue for every flac album ? then you can disable cue for audio files. But you can also have one large flac for a whole album and use a cue to that ? so there can be a conflict of interest here. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] General Dissatisfaction
I couldn't see what version of SC you are using, or what OS+browser? 1) optional but highly recommended - install 7.4 nightly - this is very stable and highly functional (on XP anyway) 2) make sure you don't have any playlists or shortcuts/symbolic links in the "music library" path (and make sure the recycle bin is empty if using Windows and the path is a drive like "E:\"). Temporarily disable iTunes and musicip integration if you are using them. 3) reboot PC and do a full "clear and rescan" Whenever I've had the "duplicates" or "partial duplicates" problem it has turned out to be caused by one of the items in 2 above. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
