Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave Error: libmad: (mp3) decoding error (0x0235)
This error is caused when a frame's main_data_begin pointer points beyond the available bit reservoir. This can occur if, e.g., the stream has been cut or spliced. When this error occurs, the frame cannot be decoded. It's most likely the radio station mucking with the stream, It's not a problem with squeezeslave. Could also be the stream in not at 44.1Khz, which is the only sample rate squeezeslave will play properly.

Re: [slim] Which raid?
jsprag wrote: Good summation. The two aren't mutually exclusive, of course. If a user wanted they could have RAID mirroring, another internal drive for nightly (or any other interval) backups, and an external backup. Starts to add up to a lot of drives though... quite. This is why I like ZFS. [I ought to declare an interest, as I work for Sun; then again, it's all open-source, so... :)] Interesting thought. Not that familiar with Solaris or ZFS but might be worth looking into. I recommend having a look; try downloading the latest OpenSolaris live cd and having a play. ZFS is a copy-on-write filesystem, so snapshots are implemented very naturally. When you take a snapshot, all that happens is that future writes to a particular block of a file are redirected, and the original block is kept for the snapshot, the new block for the real filesystem. It's possible to have thousands of snapshots. Very space efficient. The GNOME file-manager has an extension to browse the data in snapshots - which can also be accessed directly - via the time slider, in practice very much like MacOS Time Machine, but integrated into the filesystem. ZFS also provides various levels of RAID, including striping, mirroring, and two levels of efficient versions of RAID5 (RAIDZ, RAIDZ2), without any need for a separate volume manager. There are SC build instructions for OpenSolaris on the wiki, and I'm looking towards making an unofficial nightly build regularly available, in the OpenSolaris IPS pkg format. cheers, calum. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have over 1000 albums (21000 titles) in FLAC on a USB 1 TByte WD drive By being stable I mean 90 % of the time it is fine, but every once in a while for no obvious reason the response gets very slow when browsing for music. In other instances the music can take up to 10 seconds to start. Sometimes it will be fine after 15 minutes or so, or in other cases the only way to get everything back right is to restart everything, from the PC to resetting the remote. I have now started to look at CPU utilization, and have noticed that when it slows down it is the squeezcenter program that is running at over 50% CPU. I am also running my WIFI with 2 Access points with the same name, since I have a large area to cover. Who can recommend the simplest setup where there would be no (very very low) risk of the this anoying hickup to occasionaly happen. Is squeezecenter more stable on LINUX? or maybe on MAC.

I'm sure there are lots of possibilities that people will point out and I bet you have some ideas too. No, didn't have time to watch the KN, yet I did have a look at the 3.0 beta. Direct opportunities are not completely obvious, of course I could let people pay for add on modules now :-) Another option might be to use some of the notification stuff to have iPeng react to server events. One thing that WILL be of interest mid term is cutpaste but I'm not going to tell what for, yet :-) -- 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] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
I think audio streaming is supported by the api too, altough I tought that was supported previosuly anyway. That would make it posible to add streaming capabilites from squeezecenter. -- pichonCalavera *rip* (eac) *convert* (flac) *tag* (musicbrainz/mp3tag) *normalize* (replaygain/foobar2000) *albumart* (www/firefox) *transport* (winscp) *store* (debian) *manage* (squeezecenter) *control* (ipodtouch/ipeng-app) *play* (squeezebox) *preamplify* (zpre2) *amplify* (zampv3) *listen* (axiomm2/sennheiser-hd595) *scrooble* (last.fm) *enjoy* (me :) http://www.last.fm/user/pichonCalavera pichonCalavera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13068 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
[slim] New Services?
I'm interested in the new MediaFly and Napster services, but I dont see them in SqueezeCenter per the instructions per the sticky above - am I the only one? -- damager damager's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61511 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeBox updating without SqueezeCenter?!
I think it's standby (I just press the power-button). I have problems with a Synology NAS waking up from hibernation frequently, and I now think that the SB connecting to the SC could be the reason for this. Is it possible to disable SB from connecting to SC if in Standby? -- fbn fbn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61491 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] OT: playing with soldering irons
