[slim] Does this type of playlist exist?
I'd like to make a playlist where I define a start and end time for each MP3 I want to play. So essentially it will be a playlist of MP3s but each item in the playlist would be only part of the MP3. Initially it looked like I could to the with a cue sheet but it seems to be able to define a start time but not an end time. Is what I'm trying to do possible without cutting the MP3s up myself?

[slim] No more sound on my Slimp3
Hi, I've been reading these forums ever since I got my Slimp3 second hand (student budget bla bla) from eBay a few months ago. Since then my Slimp3's been working fine, no problems at all, until the day I decided to re-organise my network/power cables. At the time the Slimp3 was playing and I moved the power cable and the music started to stutter, it was all downhill from here. I tried everything I could think of to get the music back until eventually no sound at all. So now I have a Slimp3 that functions perfectly using the remote and the webinterface but that has no sound. I've tried three different power supplies. I've re-flashed the firmware. I've reset it to factory settings. I've lowered the bitrate in SC. I've opened it up to see if anyone was wrong, on first glance I could'nt tell. I think what's happened is that the initial power supply it came with from ebay was no good. Now that I've sourced the correct one its still not working. The only time it ever makes noise is when the amp is on and you plug in the power and makes a small 2 second sound like its being switched on - thats it. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is, it tells the player to start at X, where X is some time in the future (default 100ms). For an SB1 it does not have this option, and SC sets a high-priority timer to send the start command at the relevant time, allowing for normal network latency. This mechanism is inevitably a bit hit-and-miss because SC is single-threaded and other activities can delay the firing of a timer. >From the log, I see two things: - The start command (strm-u) to the SBR only gets acknowledged after 448ms. - The start command to the SB1 gets sent after the SB2 has already started. Please check that you have undone all the changes on the Settings / Player / / Synchronization page for each player. It could also be that SC is just busy at the start of a track. Do you have any plugins installed? Were you using random-play? I guess that this could be a problem with network saturation at the beginning of tracks.

Re: [slim] Does this type of playlist exist?
A cue sheet would be the way to do this, if there are other playlists that allow you to do what you want, I don't think they are supported in SC. The limitation is that you can't skip part of the source file, all of it has to be defines as tracks, you would just have to skip the tracks that contain portions of the MP3 that you don't want. Actually, thinking about it, you could have a cue sheet which creates the tracks from the long source MP3, then have a playlist that onlye includes the defined track you want. Cue sheet in the same folder as the MP3 and playlist (m3u or something) in your playlist folder. That *should* work. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62211 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Worse still, I'm actually more interested in playing this on my handheld (using Conduits Pocket Player) rather than SC but i have just realised that it doesn't support .cue files.

With the native iPeng app is better than my Controller in almost every way, the exceptions mainly being: - availability of hardware buttons for track navigation and volume - speed of notification on track changes etc (due to be fixed in iPeng I believe) - player functionality (hopefully to be addressed in iPeng at some point) The only real problem with the iPeng web based plugin was speed and the native version fully addresses that issue*.

Not only did it happily stream music from my home server several hundred miles away, but I also used my iPhone+iPeng to control it, with iPeng also talking to the very distant server.
