Re: [slim] What device(s) would you recommend for my parents' setup?
I'd avoid the Receiver. Although it does not have as many problems as the Controller it is still nowhere near as reliable as the Classic (SB3). So, if you are price (and time) sensitive definitely go for the Classic. Otherwise I'd wait for the Touch (with it's lovely colour screen). You've made the correct choice with iPeng, avoiding the troublesome Duet, so don't screw up your track record by getting a Receiver! :-) MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important?

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hi Sebastian. Sorry, have been out of touch for some time now. I have been moving, and everything here is still a big mess. So I have not had any time to look at the manual. In the meantime i see that lots of new things have happened, It is a very sexy upgrade for your software there :) Everything seems to be running very smooth. In the short time i have been testing it, I only found 2 minor things (really only cosmetic at this point); - in settings Music server settings: The green square with a V in it is halfway out of the window frame. Its still possible to use, though. - main player window: When playing all songs from one artist, the first piece of album-art is always shown, even if playing a song from another album by the same artist. It would be nice if the correct piece of album art was lifted to the front, or if the album art slided out, to show the currently playing album art. Very nice with the feature to synchronize players (music / volume). This software just keeps getting better :) Oh, and a little requst: Would it be possible to integrate an option to create a MusicIP mix from a song / artist / album, when browsing the music collection? -that would be an awesome addition.

[slim] SB1 or SB2 - how to tell apart?
I'm currently trying to obtain an SB2, for my bedroom, as I don't have space on the shelf for a Classic/SB3. Ebay is a good source of SB kit, but I'm finding a number of SB1s there are mis-described as SB2. I'm sure it's an honest mistake, as the units are so similar, especially the later matrix SB1s, unless you know what you're looking for. Is there a quick and easy way to tell SB1 from SB2 without connecting them to the net? Serial number, labelling, or something, anything? I only have SB1 and SB3 here (as well the the old SlimP3), so I can't check this. And yes, I know you can use the Info menu, but most of the ones for sale have been disconnected, so an easy just look at this would be very useful. -- hoiho hoiho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32259 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70936 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] A Radio is supposed to play music, not silence...
Satellite links have long transmission times - 0.5 secs and radio has small buffer which would affect it packet window size. Which means it could take 1 sec between radio requesting a packet to top up the internal buffer and it actually arriving at the radio. This sort of delay can be tolerated with file transfer or web browsing but not for real time stream of audio. PC have larger memories and can be more flexible. I think radio has been setup for terrestrial links which may be compromising the performance with a satellite link. With these compromises and your estimate that the link speed at best 100kbits/sec - I'd be surprised if you could play any radio which has greater that 32kbps. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70891 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What device(s) would you recommend for my parents' setup?
I understand why the Controller gets a bad rap, but why the Receiver does too is beyond me. I've been running 2 of them for over a year without issue. One wired, the other wireless. Only problems I've had have been related to weak WiFi signal, surely more a function of my junky router and placement, not the fault of the Receiver. If your setup would benefit from a display, absolutely go for the mature design of the Classic. Do you really want to put the new Touch at your parents' place? Hopefully it will be bug free, but it's new so who knows how stable it will be (at least initially.) If you don't care about the display, the Receiver is a solid choice. -- ajkidle ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70890 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I can of course scroll in the album art to see the right cover, but it would be nice if it did that automatically. The same goes, if it's a playlist with random artists. It will show the album art from the first known album by that artist, even if the song playing is from a different album by that artist. It does change the album art, when changing artist.

By the way; the font is a normal true type font, not a bitmap.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
My rebuffering experience also started with 7.3.3. It went away when downgrading to 7.2.1 again. But on the support guys request I went back to 7.3.3 to capture log files. Since I enabled performance logging I never experienced a rebuffering no more. I went onto 7.4.1 and now on 7.4.2 and still no rebuffering. I must say that 7.4.1 and .2 are amazingly a lot better in performance in general too. If you havent upgraded yet, this is something to consider. I installed the latest 7.4.2 to resolve a plop sound issue at the end of a song on my wav files. Works fine so far. One thing to remember if you upgrade from 7.3 to 7.4 is to perform a complete rescan of your music library. -- Pascal Hibon __ 2 x SB3 - both wireless, ReadyNAS NV+ running SBS, iPeng on iPod Touch.

Re: [slim] High Resolution FLAC Broken in 7.4.1?
I think I just found the answer. awy;409429 Wrote: This issue was considered as part of the downsampling changes (enhancements) in SC7.3. The decision was that the existing ability of an SB3 to drop every other sample when trying to play 88.4/96k samples/s was in fact a bug and not a feature. The resolution of the bug was to change SC so that it would no longer try to send such streams to the player. This has the side-effect that users of especially low-powered servers, such as the ReadyNAS Duo, are no longer able to play tracks with a sample rate higher that that supported by the player. Solutions in this case are: (a) resample the tracks in batch mode and store the results in SC, (b) get a more powerful server, (c) revert to SC7.2.1. -- circlotron circlotron's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70945 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Hello, I too am having the same issues the above poster has been having in regards to getting the SBR to connect to pandora/slacker/sirius radio. I did activate the account using the link provided in the email, but still get the OOPS! message on MSB.com that was discussed earlier here. without getting the reciever to register with mySB.com, pandora, slacker, or any other apps installed via mySB.com will no appear in the server software, nor will the user be able to even connect the rcvr to mySB.com. This is only true for new users, not users who were able to register their accounts when squeezenetwork.com was still available. Ultimatly, Logitech needs to create a button on the squeezebox server software control panel that says connect SBR to MySB.com The only current way to do it is using a Duet remote, and even then, you must decide whether you want to listen to your PC music or connect to MySB.com and listen to Pandora, slacker, or other Apps you might have installed. Logitech messed up on this one!

If the Touch could be extended in such a manner, would the audio still sync with the video on the TV? As for the OP, if he doesn't have variable audio outputs on the TV, he probably needs a preamp. I'm also dealing with a similar setup, and I've been looking high and low for a budget preamp with a remote. It's almost bizarre that such devices are few and far between. About the only active preamps with a remote that I can find for less than $500 are Emotiva's USP-1 ($400) and Firestone Audio's MASS preamp ($220). -- cooppw02 cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70942 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Your SBS prefs are in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/server.prefs. The prefs for the plugins are in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/plugin/*.prefs. Although you could also copy the plugins themselves, I recommend installing them via the Extension Downloader, and then applying your old prefs to them. In brief: 1. install SBS on Win7 box 2. install plugins using Extension Downloader 3. stop SBS. This is very important. Don't just close the web ui -- stop SBS completely. 4. copy your old server.prefs over top of the new one 5. copy your old plugin prefs over top of the new ones 6. restart SBS Also, check to make sure that Win7 reads the prefs files correctly. You may have a problem with the end-of-line characters (lf in Linux, cr/lf in Win). If so you should be able to open them and then re-save in WordPad to convert the EOLs. As always, make sure SBS is stopped when you do any editing or copying of prefs files. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70963 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] iPeng scrobble question
I'm still learning the iPeng UI and am hoping some one knows how to set a stream.mp3 player to scrobble from iPeng. Here's my setup: SqueezeServer 4.0.1 running on an XP system with dyndns installed and port forwarding setup on the router. iPhone 3GS with iPeng. Using Safari to stream (www.server.com:9000/stream.mp3) and using iPeng to control. Works great on wifi and repectably on 3G - occasional signal drop streaming VBR mp3 and a 60 second + latency. If I check player settings in iPeng it shows that it's scrobbling, however it isn't. If I use the iPeng web UI it also shows that it's scrobbling, if I hit save it scribbles from that point on. Is there a save capability in iPeng that I'm missing? Thanks for any advice. -- JeffHart You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to.
