Re: [slim] Home networking - suitable faceplate
I'm a little late piling in here .. you might have already done your project. I too, am about to pull some wires through existing walls and under an upstairs floor (cutting into drywall and pulling up floorboards to put [2] 1-1/2" PVC pipes for cable conduit so I can pull more cable if needed in the future). I have also been looking for faceplates. What I found was http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/4075856/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046 . Now I am trying to figure out what PVC fittings to use. I decided to use standard CPVC instead of the Carlon grey PVC that is traditionally used for electric conduit. This is because there are far more fittings for standard (irrigation) PVC. And since these conduits will be solely used for pulling low voltage (speaker wires, Cat6, audio interconnects, HDMI cables, and mini-coax such as Belden 1522, ..) I figure it will be okay. I will use one conduit for audio and the other for Cat6 and video. But just this week I also became aware of this: http://homepathproducts.com/products/index.php Probably costs more than I'm willing to spend, but looks very interesting. -- NFLnut NFLnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58550 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Linux users may be able to get a clue from the network device names, like eth0, eth1 etc. I would take the safe approach, i.e., make sure to have only one network adapter enabled and have that connected to your wired router port. In Windows, you could use the device manager to disable the other adapters for the duration of the configuration. If you have both wired and wireless adapters, disable the wireless one and you should be good to go. -- dsdreamer -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Hi, I am thinking about buying just the receiver and want to use Net:UDAP to configure. I am unclear about the following: # The computer running Net::UDAP and your SBR must be connected to the same wired network, and must be on the same subnet. I'm not sure I understand. I plan on using this wirelessly. But, in order to configure I must first hook up the receiver to the ethernet connection on my router? Once its configured, I then move my receiver back to my audio system? Is this correct? # This network must be connected to the first network interface on the computer, in order for SBR discovery to work. If your SBR is on a network interface other than the first you must either move it, or configure down any preceding network interfaces, until it is so assigned. Otherwise the discover command will not find your SBR [this is tracked in Ticket #6; now fixed in the trunk]. How do you identify the first network?

Re: [slim] Easy, stable SC client for Mac?
Thanks for replying, Ben. The issue there is that the web interface launches SoftSqueeze, which is a little too confusing for her - I don't mean to say that she's dumb, far from it, but it's more that unless you're already pretty familiar with how the hardware SB works (which she isn't - I am definitely the primary user), the software version is not very intuitive.

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge
Hi, I'm having trouble listening to NPR Radio at 32kbps CBR with SqueezeSlave. The sound output is like "chimpunks." (Higher bitrate music plays fine). I don't want to cross post (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63052) but I am trying to figure out if SqueezeSlave has near-term potential to be updated to play 32kbps CBR streams? The rationale - more and more cheap, energy efficient boxes will be running linux squeezecenter headless installations. Local playback would be nice, as the onboard audio chip is usually included free on the motherboard. SqueezeSlave seems the non-GUI way to go (instead of SoftSqueeze), but SqueezeSlave currently does not get along nicely with NPR. I don't have the talent/skills to fix SqueezeSlave.

It's like wanting to put wings on a car and make it fly; it's conceivable, but would require radically different engineering from what it is now. Nothing about the current design makes it possible to just plug in a USB drive and go. But the Boom does have an input jack. You can plug any old MP3 player into it and use it as an amp/speaker player that way. Or use it with a personal laptop (as opposed to company property) running SC, wired directly, and thereby get the full benefit of the front panel interface and lossless music files. -- Dogberry2 Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62837 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

That's possible, but doesn't explain why if I sync with flac/mp3 later in the day, there are no problems - it's just first thing in the morning with the radio stations... Perhaps there is a greater overhead with syncing wma radio stations?

Seems like the Boom should have a USB input. It would solve my upcoming problem (see below).

Any suggestions on how to listen to my 12,000 FLAC files at work without being able to add additional software? Instead of the Boom with a USB connection for my office (which would be simple), I was thinking about this way too complicated solution -- the Linux wall wart with SC installed connected to the USB external hard drive as source and a SB with powered speakers for music. -- Lefatshe Fanless Zalman TNN 300 PC->Transporter->Rowland Concentra->Gallo Nucleus Reference 2 audiophile goal: faking-out your brain so you believe you're at the live concert Lefatshe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62837 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Problem with low sample rate MP3s
I think you'd need to tell SqueezeCenter to resample them, 22KHz is not a standard sample rate, most players will support 32, 44.1 and 48 I think. -- probedb Paul.

[slim] Problem with low sample rate MP3s
I have had a lot of problems lately with MP3s that the Squeezebox refuses to play. I can play many files with no trouble, but not these. MP3 diagnostics says that the files are OK. I mainly listen to audio books with low bitrates. While looking for a reason, I noticed that the files that will play have a sample rate of 44 kHz, while the ones that won't play have a sample rate of 22 kHz. If you queue the file remotely, through the web interface, the elapsed time counts up to 4 seconds and resets to 0 in an infinite loop. Can anyone else duplicate this problem?

Re: [slim] Scrobbling Deezer
It's a good question, and I've found it because I am asking the same one! There is a 'native' scrobbler for lastfm in later versions of SC. We used to have to add a plugin but then it got bundled in. I've only recently discovered deezer and I like it's approach. I'm finding it works beautifully with iPeng and even gives album art. Nice touch. But that's not the only good part. I'd like to scrobble as well, but it would require a plugin to SC. In fact unless something is wrong with mine, Deezer doesnt even appear in the SC interface (yet?) so I imagine a plugin to scrobble has to come after that (but i'm just a punter and that technical stuff eludes me.

Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
A couple of additions to your instructions: If you'll have multiple computers running Squeezeslave then you'll want each to have a unique MAC address. This is set in the AppParameters. As ralphy mentioned, it's also desirable to specify '--retry'. I use a parameters string that looks like: --signal --retry --mac 01:01:01:01:01:0E 192.168.9.12 If you want the service to start automatically when the machine boots up, set its startup type to 'Automatic' in the Windows services Control Panel applet. You may also find that it's necessary to run the service under a user account. You can just create a local Windows account on the machine, give the user a password, then in the same Services applet, tell the service to run using this account. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Thanks for this little application - it's a great idea. I can't really use it fully until it can connect to a SqueezeCenter with password protection but I have tried it quickly and here are a couple of things I have noticed: 1) If you change the server address this isn't honored until the application is restarted but the user isn't given any notification of this. 2) Lack of authentication support - but I gather you already know that. 3) Appearance on a VGA screen - they layout for the most (see below) seems OK but quality is poor since the screen is obviously being resized to fit the bigger area leading to a pixilated look. 4) When listing all the players I have the list gets cut-off. See attached image. But on the whole it seems to work OK - if it could also behave as a player that would be great but I'm sure that unlikely to happen! I look forward to testing some more when authentication is included.
