Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] iPeng 1.1 now on the AppStore
I was just wondering how the search function in iPeng works. I get strange results. If I search for Trenet as in Charles Trenet in iPeng, I get several results but not one of the 4 VA albums where Charles Trenet appears as a track artists and none of the two other albums where Trenet is a co-composer. The results I get are only artists starting with A or B, albums starting with a number or A and genres starting with A, N or T. A search in the SC web UI returns the 4 VA albums and one of the other two albums. A search in Muso, with the SC database imported into Muso, returns all albums correctly. -- vagskal vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There's a known issue with the incremental search in iPeng 1.1 (no ticket yet), that if results for earlier searches (e.g for the first two characters) show up after additional characters are entered these additional characters are being ignored (technically: the second search gets canceled). The workaround is after entering the whole search string to wait until the last intermediate list shows up before pressing search. This issue is especially apparent when SqueezeCenter is set to search within words and not only at the word start because the server response will be slower in this situation. I suspect this has to do with some optimizations in 1.1 to get server load down while searching or it's a result of the comet communication.

Hmm, the log show that SC's idea of the players' time epoch is way out compared with that of the server (probably about 23s at the time you took the log snapshot). Every few seconds SC adjust its idea of the players' epochs by 5ms, so it is going to take around 6 hours to get back in sync.

Re: [slim] Next product I want from SD er Logitech: SqueezeVideo
Look at SageTV line of products. The philosophy is very similar to that of Slim (server to stream, client to do the playing). They have hardware client and software client. Transcoding of video takes place when the format is not supported by the client (older MVP boxes) or the client is connected over internet. The server software is expandable; there are many plug-ins (STVs). And, besides media server functionality, it is actually PVR too (it was PVR from the beginning).

I am currently using a SB Controller to control my SB3, but I think having the larger screen of a netbook at my listening chair running SC would be nice. My SB3 is currently hardwired via CAT5 to a desktop PC running SC. This PC has a second drive that contains my music library. Could I take a netbook that is wirelessly connected to my network, run SC on it and access the drive on the desktop PC? How would I point SC on the netbook to a drive on the desktop PC? Is this the right approach? Thanks.

Re: [slim] 'Disable outputs when off' still broken?
This appears to be still broken even in the 7.3.3 nighty builds. I tested on a Squeezebox Classic and the optical output remains active, ignoring the player setting. Since I use an optical splitter (not enough inputs), I need this option to work. I don't understand why the bug access is locked. Is it open or closed? How can we vote on it?

Just start your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.2:9000/ ... where 192.168.1.2 is replaced by the IP number of your server. Depending on your networking, you may even be able to get away with putting the 'server name' there. I have found the 'default' skin is a bit constrained strained on the small display, and usually use fishbone (add 'fishbone' to the end of the url above) which deals a bit better with small screens. 'classic' may work for you, too. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62412 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You can all vote on this bug instead: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10077 hovering the mouse pointer over the link to 1397 inside this bug indicates that 1397 is closed and fixed comment #1. This is a bug about further enhancement of the digital output off function. As you see in comment #2 there is an explanation why this is working on some DAC and receivers and not on some others. If my dim memory serves me right I have memories that this is one of these was working before bugs ? ie originally working functionality that was later broken and then fixed again (1397), but not in the same way hence bug 10077 -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Netbook to control SB3
Give your desktop PC (the one running SC) a fixed IP address on your network. Then as described above, enter that address just once in a browser on the netbook you use to control SC remotely. Bookmark the address, and then you can go back to it repeatedly without remembering what to type in. Reboot the server, or the network, or lose power, and the IP address for the SC server will remain unchanged and the bookmarked address will continue to work. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62412 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Next product I want from SD er Logitech: SqueezeVideo
Pale Blue Ego;414372 Wrote: Audio streaming is mature technology. Slim largely solved it with the SB2/SB3 and everything since then is an enhancement of that technology. Tell me, what new HARDWARE features are you clamoring for that would make you want to replace your current SB3/Duet/Boom with another Squeezebox audio-only player? I'm pretty darn happy with my FIVE Squeezeboxes and unwilling to spend $2000 on a Transporter. So, even though I'm an extremely loyal Squeeze fan, there's nothing for me to buy. Ignoring video will eventually kill the Squeezebox. The current family of Networked Media Tanks costs LESS than the Squeezebox and includes playback of many audio, video, and graphics formats including hi-def video with multichannel audio. The NMTs also offer some things Squeezebox fans have wanted for a LONG time, like local storage - you can stick a 1TB hard drive in one of these and take your whole library with you. NMTs do not require server software, they can discover and index media files anywhere on the LAN. Finally, they provide big-screen display of tag information and album art. We're entering a new era of networked media playback. The next gen of Blu-ray players and flat-screen TVs will include playback of audio and video from anywhere on the LAN or the internet. Many of the current Squeezebox features will be built in to commodity components. I myself have postponed a NMT purchase because I'm hoping Squeeze will soon enter this market. But I can't wait any longer as I have hundreds of movies, homemade video projects, and TV episodes already loaded on my server and the family is clamoring for a way to stream them to the home theater. Flipping discs is getting old, and I have no way to play on the big screen the many hi-def videos I have captured or created. I sure wish it was a SqueezeVideo I was ordering today. Instead it's going to be the $219 HDX 1000. Sorry, Logitech. This sounds very interesting. I'll need a full review if you get one. :) I don't really think that it would replace my SB3 as I like the simple and quick elegance of it. I think they would go side by side and I do have one hdmi port left on my receiver ( 2 if I get rid of my dvd player). Thanks for pointing this out, I had never heard of it.

Re: [slim] Anyone using SB, etc. with a whole-house audio system?
I'm an excited new owner of a Russound system. Not yet installed. I want to connect it to my SB3. Not knowing how all of this works yet. The keypads, can they be programed to send IR to my SB3? Play, forward, Back etc? How do you choose playlist and genre from the keypads? Maybe not possible. I wish there was an RNET integration piece here. Anyway, I'm planning on: SB3, FM, DVD/CD, SAT, iBridge and possible XM as inputs. Thinking of upgrading to the Transport as it has an RS232 integration port. To start I will have 6 zones. I can see a phase 2 of adding more zones and inputs. Ultimately it would be great to control playlists, Genre as well as basic controls from the keypads. The iBridge allows this type of control of an iPod. If I can somehow mimick its operation with SB3 or Transport from the keypad, that would be awesome. The hardest part will be sending back song data to the keypad and SB3 menu navigation. -- GotX GotX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9206 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60793 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Next product I want from SD er Logitech: SqueezeVideo
I have noted this before in other posts, I am a strong believer in the TViX player. Just like I think the SB is the greatest thing in audio, the TViX is great for video. You can do full Blu-Ray quality 1080P playback on the 6500 (sigma 8635) and you can do fairly decent h264 playback on the 4100 (sigma 8623 - but has been discontinued). It will play an ISO file just like you put a DVD in a player (they call it DVD Jukebox). The 6500 currently can't handle BluRay menu structure - it can only play the files if you rip them. The OP makes some good points. All of the media players available have horrible GUIs (except XBMC - but it can't do 1080P). It would be fantastic to have a hook into the interface. It shouldn't be a big deal as I think the players could easily be open source. The TViX is based on a Linux kernel, and the code is available at the company site - so it is actually open source. I just don't think there are too many developers working on it though. I really think a critical mass is building for streaming video players as I am accumulating a lot of AVCHD files from my HiDef camcorder, and not every video player can handle AVCHD (my TVIX 4100 has no problems). People are going to want to stream their home movies, and in my opinion that is the driver that will push this technology to the mainstream like the SB. I can't help but wonder what nvida's ION will do in this area. -- hoosier hoosier's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13116 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62047 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] why is the sb3 remote SO unreliable?
I've had a squeezebox 3 since Christmas. I use it almost all the time as an internet radio player through the squeezenetwork (ie, the computer is usually turned off, or not running squeezecenter). My wireless router is connected via a FIOS fiber optic connection up to the side of the house...I can stream full screen video with NO problems, so I know my connection is not the problem. Aside from the annoying buffering, this thing fails to respond to the remote FAR too often...20% to 30% of the time. Either it's WAY too slow to accept a command (several seconds go by ... what's it doing??) or it doesn't accept it at all. I have to physically unplug the SB to reset the damn thing. It loses the connection far too often, and won't respond to on/off commands, or the hold-down left button. Coming from a remote control mfr., I fund this intolerable. It's just way too flaky a unit for dependable operation.
