Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
I had stated earlier in this thread that I never saw any rebuffering issues in 7.3.3., but that was clearly tempting fate. It happened to me yesterday! I was playing a FLAC-encoded album at the time and immediately switched on the buffering monitoring diagnostic screen saver on my SB3. I noticed that the buffer fullness bar was not able to get to 100%, but was doing a random walk and sometimes emptying completely, thus triggering a rebuffering pause. I then checked what else was going on around the network, and found that one of my sons had a Steam game downloading and was getting excellent download speed. Sufficient speed, in fact, to choke off my bandwidth for streaming FLACs. (I don't currently have any QoS rules in effect on my LINKSYS WRT54GL running Tomato firmware.) My curiosity was aroused to see what streaming bandwidth was being used by the SB3 when playing back FLAC across my wireless network. The attached chart shows what I could find by looking at the Tomato realtime bandwidth monitor. Looking at the graphic you can see three tracks being played in the space of 10 minutes. * The gaps before the peaks are when the end of the previous track is being played out of the SB3's buffer memory and the SB3 has not begun to pre-buffer the next track. * The peaks are when the next track is getting buffered as quickly as possible. * The steady(ish) 700kbps bandwidth is during normal track playback when the buffer is being consumed at the same rate it is being replenished and is close to 100% full. Notice that network conditions were gradually improving during this 10 minute window, indicated by the peak bandwidth during the buffering of the up-coming track. Ideally, this should be as narrow and tall as possible meaning the buffer was refilled in a short period of time. A vulnerability exists if the (supposedly) rapid buffering of the next track is throttled by network congestion. Under these conditions the weakest point is when you have emptied the previous track buffer but can't get sufficiently ahead of the game to gain some safety margin. It seems to me that to safely play back FLACs with an average bandwidth of 700kbps, you need some safe multiple of that bandwidth to be reliably available (at least x2, but preferably x4 or better). It would be better still if the SB3 would start buffering the next track earlier (i.e., alternating between two buffers so you can fill the next buffer while playing out the current one). That gap, followed by a peak is what will surely cause trouble in some marginal connectivity scenarios. +---+ |Filename: tomato-bw.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7870| +---+ -- 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=65719 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Best mobile phone for controlling SB?
Thanks for the details, gharris! Now I just hope the rumors are true about Touch getting a camera. Wouldn't mind reducing my purse weight a little. As far as Notes, I use OneNote rather than Outlook for that -- it syncs with Windows Mobile when I'm not having to fight to get things to sync. I would miss OneNote, but I think there is something on the horizon for that with OneNote 2010. I've got data in Outlook going back as far back as 1997, but I'm pretty sure the PSTs have been upgraded a few times over the years. As far as 3-way sync, I played around with Google calendar sync, and I thought it was working well, but today I discovered all of my calendar events are repeated 5, 6, 7 times. Ugh. Not sure if Google sync is the culprit, but I've disabled it for now. I also have Windows Live so I will just have to use that for my online sync.

You may be remembering the complaints that folks had against the first version of the iPod touch (which is what I have.) Syncing was one-way with the original firmware. If I remember correctly, there wasn't even a way to add calendar events on the iTouch. The work-around (which worked for me) was to jail-break the Touch and install the iPhone version of all the apps. Since the installing the 2.0 version firmware of a year ago, I don't think there has been any difference between the iTouch and iPhone version of the stock apps. This is true in the version 3 release of last month too...with the exception of the voice memo app (the iTouch doesn't have an internal mic) and the video creation stuff which I believe is specific to the iPhone 3Gs. I just tested two-way syncing with my iTouch. I created a calendar entry and a new contact on the Touch and then synced. (Yes, the backup took 10 minutes...grrr.) The new entries showed right up in Outlook. I deleted them in Outlook and synced again. No backup required this time...sync took only a few seconds. The newly created entries were dutifully deleted from the Touch. Two-way syncing works just fine. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64944 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If I'm to be honest, I'd have to echo what others are saying here concerning their distaste for iTunes. On a Core2-quad machine with 4 gigs of memory and running vists64, it still feels like iTunes needs very last resource the machine has to offer in order to do even rudimentary tasks. And god help you if you need to sync in a hurry. The obligatory backup of the iThing that iTunes enforces during syncing still seems glacial, even after Apple allegedly addressed this issue. iTunes is an app that will teach you patience. Re Outlook: The above complaints aside, Outlook integration works well, in my experience with both a Touch and an iPhone. Syncing is two-way. I like to keep my Outlook contacts categorized by keeping them in sub-folders. The iThing/iTunes respects this and allows you to select all or a subset of folders to sync. The same is true for calendars. The one area that seems to not work so well is Notes syncing. Any notes sub-folder organization that you may have in Outlook gets squashed into a big, flat list on the iThing. For me, this effectively makes Notes syncing useless and means that I can't use this feature at all. I initially had real trouble syncing my calendar. I think that this was probably due to the fact that I had been nursing along the same Outlook PST data file since Office 2k. After I built a new PST, imported my data and eliminated the archive.pst, the calendar syncing started working perfectly. Personally, the holy grail of syncing would be to find some way of achieving perfect three-way syncing between the iThing, Outlook and Gmail/Gcal. I've dabbled a little in this, but it's still eluding me. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64944 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The PC was bought in the last few months so might have this S3 but would it be activated ie. noticed W-O-L in the Bios? If this isn't possible , is the plugin you mentioned easy to set up and how does it actually work? Thanks very much again.

Re: [slim] synchronization problems - and getting worse
I don't have any great insights because sync has been working fine for me, but here are a couple ideas. Do you still get the problems if the playlist doesn't have any transcoded tracks (AAC in your case)? When the players are drifting apart, what happens on track transitions? Is there any stuttering/re-starting as SC tries to re-sync the players, or do they just carry on, with one player making the song transition smoothly 2-3 seconds before the other makes a smooth transition? (I'm assuming here that your individual tracks are not 30 minutes long -- please let me know if that assumption is wrong!) -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65870 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic turns PC on !
It uses a technology called Wake On Lan, it sends a "magic" network packet to the PC, when the PC is in suspend mode it keeps the network card powered up and wakes the PC when it sees the "magic" packet. You can control your PC power from the Squeezebox using this plugin: http://code.google.com/p/srvrpowerctrl/ -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?

I have now got this working on Vista x64 by installing the 32bit ODBC driver :P Have to say it looks pretty fantastic.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v1.4 (ACC)
I have found ACC to be one of the most useful tools for use with SC. As a relative newcomer to the world of Squeezebox, I (like I guess all of us here!) suffered the pain of ripping and tagging my music. ACC not only documents my collection, but is also less forgiving than SC. I believe that's a good thing, because it can expose errors in tagging which otherwise go unnoticed as we sit back and listen to the music :). As for the other points here: - ACC works on my 23,000+ track collection - I have used it against a local database, a remote database on a Linux-based QNAP NAS, and a remote database under WinXP, all without problem The output looks very professional. I like it! Apart from showing off to friends, an ACC printout has a much more down-to-earth use. My music collection has cost me a very significant sum of money over the years; should there be a disaster (fire, flood, whatever) I now have a most useful document to back up any insurance claim...
