Re: [slim] Announce: New Squeezeslave 0.9 Release available on sourceforge
I don't think your error would be resolved by compiling squeezeslave natively, it indicates that the vorbis decoder does not recognize the stream as vorbis. The vorbis decoder is probably the least tested part of SS, at least by me. Looking at the decoder source, the behaviour you're seeing is to be expected. If any error occurs while decoding ogg/vorbis the decoder stops and you need to manually advance to the next track as a bug in the buffering code prevents SS from advancing automatically. I hope to have this fixed for version 1.0.

Re: [slim] A question about cats
We built our house ten years ago, and seized the opportunity to install cabling in the walls (at the time, to support distribution of satellite tv and also ethernet to computers). We put connect boxes in a whole lot of places, all terminated at a patch panel -- still bristling with multiple cable ends. Am not sure of the cabling CAT type, not sure if 5e was out and about at the time. However, the cabling works well and is supporting HD satellite at 1080i (as high as it gets). The ethernet supports several computers in several locations, including links to the dedicated Fit2 music server, as well as the router.

So I fully agree with the advice to install LOTS of connect boxes. Overkill at initial construction is the obvious strategy.

[slim] SB3 Delayed Start
I have two SB3's that I often sync. One stays hooked to my stereo, while the other feeds into a pair of AE5's that I move around. The second one often takes several minutes to come on after I plug it in. The screen is just black for several minutes (up to 10), and then it decides to come on, hook into the network and sync to the other SB. Both of these SB's are at a vacation home, so they often are unplugged for weeks at a time. This doesn't seem to bother the one that stays hooked to the stereo, however. Since it is plugged into the stereo's power outlet perhaps it is never completely without a power supply.

Re: [slim] Seriously p*****d off! (rant)
I don't think 15 minutes to work out a major software upgrade sounds unreasonable. The only time I'm bothered by changes are when they seem gratuitously unnecessary or pointless. Of course, sometimes companies do an extraordinarily poor job of explaining the underlying reason for a change, or hide the explanation in small-print footnotes. I'll have to agree the new Apps menu items complicated things (especially for people whose primary interest is just playing music) but with a little work I just got the Apps Gallery and Installer off the main menu. However, the switch between server hosted music and internet radio is now better, IMO. The 7.4 upgrade went pretty smoothly for me. The Controller seemed to pick up the change without issue. I actually had a far bigger problem when I moved from the version 6 server software to the first 7. There was a cache that needed clearing before the new software would run right. However, I'm a Linux user and just kind of used to the install and upgrade process never being quite as smooth as the more automated Windows and Mac process.

Re: [slim] Server control from remote PC?
Assuming that the server and your netbook are on the same LAN (ie, by remote you don't mean from a different LAN via the internet) it's simple: point the netbook's browser to http://serverip:9000/, where serverip is the local IP address of the Sony laptop. As the Sony doesn't have a static IP address the serverip will be a moving target. If that doesn't work then you'll have to open some ports on your firewall.

Well, the trick is that you don't really need a static IP in the sense that your ISP will talk about (and charge for) What you need is for the server to always get the same IP address from whatever is doing DHCP serving. Which for most folks is their router. I am not familiar with your quoted Linksys WAG54GX2, but I would guess that it works as a ADSL modem out one side, with some Ethernet ports and a WiFi out into your house. In that case, you just need to tell the Linksys WAG54GX2 to assign the same IP address to the MAC in your Apple Server (MAC here is the magic ethernet mac-level address, a long string of hex characters). -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Server control from remote PC?
Sim, é muito fácil especificar um endereço IP static. Exactly how you do it depends on what OS is running on your Sony. Normally in the network setup parameters you can set whether the pc gets its IP address dynamically from the router or gets a fixed IP address. Set a fixed IP address that is within the range you are using, but is not already used by another device. Alternatively, you may be able to reserve an IP address for your Sony based on the hardware address (MAC address) of its network card. Note that the static IP is only static within your home network -- no need whatsoever for your ISP to get involved. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71437 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Static IPs?
Do they have to be IP addresses set on the devices themselves, or do you just want to be sure that they have fixed/known IP addresses? If it's the latter, then look into using DHCP reservations on your router. You just tie the assigned IP addresses to the MAC addresses of the devices. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71398 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
ceejay;435506 Wrote: I am trying to get Squeezeslave to run as a service on a Vista 64 bit system, and have tried to follow the suggested instructions, but am having some security issues I think ... I have read somewhere that srvany is of limited use in Vista systems due to the improved security. I can get squeezeslave to run ok from a command line ... I can wrap the command up in a batch file and have it run on login, but of course I then get the ugly DOS window left over. And in any case I would really like it to be running without a login - i.e. as a service! But when I try to run the instsrv command I get a message along the lines of you're not authorised to do that, though I had logged in with an admin account. Could anyone that has made this work on Vista offer some clues, please? TIA Ceejay PS - a google on the topic throws up a large number of programs offering to do this for varying numbers of $$. Of course I'd rather find a free way of doing this! But one I could trust would be helpful... Bump/Resurrect... Same issue in Windows 7 32-bit.

Thanks for the response and for taking an interest. The info you asked for is below. I should re-iterate, the vorbis decoder works perfectly when playing files from the beginning, but always fails when jumping to a point in the middle of a track. Perhaps by feeding it a file part-way through, it misses some vital information from the beginning?

[slim] Any video steaming servers with library capability, like SqueezeServer?
Hi all... So I'm setting up things so I can stream videos around my house wirelessly. I am using SqueezeServer (or whatever it's name is now) for music, but I'm wondering what you all know out there for something very similar that can stream video (HD and SD), as well as scan/maintain a database or library, etc. Since my video is scattered around various machines, it would be nice if I didn't have to just mount filesystems on the client machines and look for movies, but have a central video server to do that, and manage a library. Anyone know of a product, free or not, that does that, for video? - Tim -- tbessie tbessie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8521 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71448 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
