Re: [slim] Help with volume normalization/ReplayGain
It's worth noting that a lot of people (myself included) find that even when playing random, individual tracks, album gain is the best setting to use. Track gain makes the loudest point of each track equal. This means that the loudest part of e.g an acoustic guitar track will be the same as the loudest point of a full-on hardcore techno track. Personally I find this sounds odd, and album gain gives a more natural volume levelling. -- jeebers www.last.fm/user/gbennett115 jeebers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] BBC WMA Radio streams cause my SB3 to reboot
(I posted this as a reply to another thread on listening to BBC Radio, but I don't think it was entirely appropriate there - apologies for the multi-posting). I don't believe this is a plug-in issue, but a problem with the WMA feeds from the BBC. I'm based in the UK, so should have no problem getting the feeds (from a legal perspective anyway). I'm running SC7.3.3 on Ubuntu 8.10, with a wireless SB3. (Version: 7.3.3 - 25156 @ Wed Feb 25 03:12:29 PST 2009) I've found that the live AlienBBC streams for Radio 2 and 4 to be reliable. For BBC iPlayer, I've given up trying to listen to the feeds. All the live feeds consistently cause my SB3 to crash and reboot. The feeds play for about 30 seconds (I'm guessing the buffer size) then it all stops. I'd love to listen to these feeds for the higher bit-rate. I don't believe this is a BBC iPlayer plugin issue. I have copied the high bit rate WMA URL into "Tune in URL" and I get the same issue. Through the "More Radio.." menu, I can play the 65Kbit WMA streams without problem on the whole, certainly they don't cause my SB3 to reboot. Anybody else experienced this problem of the 96k streams causing the SB3 to reboot or can explain what might cause the problem? I can understand that streams are not always perfect, you get rebuffering, stuttering and so on, but I don't expect a stream to cause my SB3 to reboot. Here are the URLs I've been using: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/wm_asx/aod/radio2.asx http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/wm_asx/aod/radio4.asx Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: [slim] How do you listen to BBC Radio??
I can't offer any suggestion for the iPlayer MP3/WMA streams but the RealAudio streams used by AlienBBC are delivered using RTSP on port 554 whereas on a PC with iPlayer they are delivered over HTTP on port 80. So in relation to RealAudio the services cannot be directly compared. Mplayer does not support RTSP over HTTP. Some routers (e.g. NetGear, Apple) treat the RTSP traffic "special" for video/audio streaming (e.g. Application Level Gateways settings) but RealNetworks RTSP and standard RTSP (as used by Apple) are different and seems to cause some problems. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60962 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My everyday camera is the unusual hybrid Canon TX1. It's a cigarette-pack-sized camera that has a 10x optical zoom lens, takes hi-def video(1280x720) with stereo sound, and can be used as a stereo (16-bit/44.1) audio-only recorder with surprisingly good fidelity from the built-in microphones (the mics are behind those little holes on the back of the flip-out LCD) Unfortunately, Canon seems to have abandoned the hybrid design; there was no TX1 replacement in their 2009 lineup. Maybe it was robbing sales from their more expensive video-only cameras. Anyway, it's a wonderfully tiny camera with excellent capabilities.

Since I haven't tried any replay gain methods yet I can't say for sure if it applies to my listening tastes, but I can certainly see the point. So, assuming I wanted to try album gain instead is there any way to apply it to a bunch of flac albums at once? Or am I missing the point about what the applyreplaygain.pl script does? Lastly, assuming I eventually find the script and run it against my collection, then find that I don't like the results is there any way to mass-undo the changes, or do I simply turn of the Smartgain setting in SC?

Re: [slim] Help with volume normalization/ReplayGain
soxfan- Won't answer all your questions, but I'll try to answer a few: Don't know how to find the script listed... but there are other methods for setting the REPLAYGAIN tags - I did mine using mp3tag, which you should be able to find on the net via a google search. In squeezecenter, you can choose to use album gain, track gain, smart gain, or no volume adjustment (I believe this is set for each player). Smart gain simply chooses album gain or track gain depending on the makeup of the current playlist. It's easy to switch between them. As stated above, you can choose to turn off this function in squeezecenter. The gain settings for each album and track are stored in the tags - the actual music isn't changed at all. (One exception: there are methods for adjusting the actual FILES to adjust the gain - I believe this is only ever done on MP3's, but you should definitely AVOID that approach... I believe that's for people who want volume normalization between tracks on a player which doesn't support the REALPLAY tags - such as most portable MP3 players.) -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] So what about Movies
Another vote for popcorn hour, but I think the choice of movie player still comes down to where you expect to get movies from, and where you think you'll get them in the future. There's no equivalent of MP3 or FLAC, you either rip your movie from the encrypted form it comes in or you buy a box that's specific for that encryption. Popcorn hour reads Xvid/Divx (mostly), DVD (iso and vosub) and h.264. If you can get movies in these formats, I think Popcorn Hour or a similar Sybas player is the easiest to use solution out of the box. -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60948 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes, BU = Business Unit. I think technically they are the streaming media BU. BTW, I love all of the euphamisms (sp?) for layoffs - RIF (Reduction in Force), workforce reduction, redeployment. Where I used to work the managers would get irritated when you would use the term "layoff" rather than "redeployment" or "RIF".

Well, it stems from the concept that in the UK, a -person- isn't "made redundant", an -instance of a role- is. In other words, a role is found to have redundancy (i.e. multiple people doing it), so the redundancy is removed. Having said that it doesn't always make sense - in the current climate entire roles are being eliminated in the quest to save money. Anyway, why are you all assuming Mike was pushed? Maybe he was just made a better offer elsewhere - after all, web managers must be ripe pickings for headhunters, being so visible.

Re: [slim] Did Mike Valera leave the company?
Listen, you cricket watching fool, such views will negatize any efforts you make to grow your vocabulary and proactivate your interpersonal ROI. ;-) I agree with you completely. But it's not just the corporate-speak weenies who are guilty of abominations against clear communication. Most white collar work involves industry specific and technical terms and acronyms.

Re: [slim] Did Mike Valera leave the company?
One thing does ring true - we are two nations divided by a common language. I've silenced a dinner table over on the North American side of the pond with very innocent comments in (North Western)English. A long time ago (in England)there was a man employed to make sure that workers were awake in order to make it to work on time. He was known as the "Knocker Up". Make of it what you will !

And a better offer could even be "less pay, but shorter commute" or even "you get to work with old friends". There are a lot of reasons to change jobs. Depending on circumstances, things like long commutes, friendships, time with family, etc, can rank high on the list of reasons to change jobs. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60891 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Various Artists: Is this the intended behavior?
When I navigate on my SB3 to a specific genre, and within that to Various Artists, it brings up all the Various Artists albums I have, not just the ones in the genre I selected. On the screen it displays: 'selected genre'/Various Artists 1 of 139 'Title of my first Various Artists album' but the first Various Artist album I have has nothing to do with the genre I picked and the 139 is the total of albums I have in the Various Artists, of which only one is in the selected genre. Is this the intended behavior? I am fairly sure that is wasn't always like this. I use SqueezeCenter from Slimserver 5.x versions. Details: SqueezeCenter 7.3.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 and feeds my SB3 over wireless connection.

I seem to remember that the observance of directory was implemented due to this type of album. Thinking about it, my fave music player (Foobar2000) probably ignores directories and it can't handle compilation albums well either. On balance I prefer SlimCenter behaviour.
