Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hello I have been using slimcontrol 1.00 for over a week now on a HD2, and I think it is truely brilliant. My previous HD was a bit slow (maybe the cache was on the SD card, I can't remember), but now the fact that I can browse my music library makes it a brilliant tool. I just have one question which I couldnt find anywhere in the manual and on forums - apologies if this was brought up and discussed before. When browsing with my HD2, for some folders the tracks subfolders are only displayed partially, for example only until the letter E. The rest is not visible. Is there a track limit per folder that slimcontrol can handle ? I tried deleting the slimcontrol cache and restarting the software. I also deleted the music library on the squeezebox server and let it rescan the whole library without success, to ensure that the contents of the affected folders are visible via squeezebox server.

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hi there There is no upper limit on the number of folders/tracks. Deleting the cache would have been my first guess too. If the folder list is (reproduciably) truncated at the same folder or track I'd say it's caused by some error at that track/folder. How large is the truncated folder actually? Is the root directory truncated or some sub directory? If it's the root, you could send me your cache-file (or inspect it yourself) It's in the cache directory /SlimCtrl/GUUID/SC_fld#.dat. Alternatively I could check what's going on by connecting to your server from my place. That's the fastest way to find and debug the error.

Re: [slim] Why so much negativity. I LIKE the squeezebox products I have
You're always going to see negative comments, that will never change. Even when a product is the best of its class, or like the Squeezebox line, simply the best. There are still problems with the software, different people have different issues for different reasons. You're always going to see it. But there's nothing else out there that compares. No Sonos, no Sooloos, not anything. It doesn't matter how much you're willing to spend, you're not going to find better or more useful audio playing software than Squeezebox Server, all things considered. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - External Wired IR Blasters' (http://twistedmelon.com/shop/?show=bug1)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74181 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Good omen???
Hi Guys, Apologies but this may be a long post. Fascinated by the possible change in Touch order status, I thought I'd check mine. On the relevant web page I was informed No Orders were found when copy and pasting the order no. from Logitech's e-mail order confirmation. Quickly on to the phone (I'm in the UK) I was soon talking to a young lady in USA (judging by ringing tone), who also told me she couldn't find the order and was I sure about it. When told that I was reading it from Logitech's confirmatory e-mail she put me on hold whist she spoke to her supervisor. Acouple of minutes later she was back asking me for my e-mail address and again put me on hold whilst she spoke to her supervisor. A couple of minutes later she was back to confirm that the order was found and that in was in process (not proGRESS) and read out my delivery address for confirmation. I then asked what that meant exactly and could she advise me of when it was likely to be shipped. Again put on hold whilst she spoke to the supervisor and this time she was away a lot longer. She returned to tell me that the supervisor was not available, but would respond by e-mail or phone (I chose e-mail) within 24 hours and gave me a reference no. for the call. I'll keep you posted - keep your fingers crossed, the situation MAY be changing.

Re: [slim] Readynas and my two Squeeze device?
It works for me, too (500Gb ReadyNAS Duo and an SB3 - hoping to expand with a few more zones at some point!). I agree with garym that the web interface is quite slow (although I have an additional wireless (N) hop from the NAS to the router via an ethernet bridge - not ideal, but I want it out of sight and out of mind). I tend to control the SB3 via the IR interface (using a Harmony 885 controller) or iPeng on my iTouch (which can also be a little slow, but not as slow as the web interface). Although, to be honest, I didn't buy the NAS specifically to host the server - I bought it as part of my backup solution, and the serving was an added bonus. I'm happy with it.

[slim] Coverjuke - Album cover flow GUI works with SB
I've grown increasingly dissatisfied with most of my music players, and with the slow and buggy behavior of SC (using SC 7.3.1 currently). All of them seem to get in the way of that pure and simple process of just selecting something and playing it. Itunes is a mess, any program that alters your files or adds new ones (invisible no less) is DOA for serious music buffs. Winamp may be the best alternative, but (like Itunes) it has grown increasingly bloated with each subsequent version. And SC's web interface is just too S-L-O-W for big collections (48,000+ tracks in 3,550+ folders). Moose filled the bill for a while, but the lack of an embedded player in Moose or SC always meant one more buggy step to deal with. By the time Moose or SC and softsqueeze or squeezeplay etc. were all up and running and paged to the CD or track I wanted to hear, minutes would have passed, along with the mood or opportunity to listen. Not to mention the hours required for a rescan every few dozen CD's. Coverjuke to the rescue! You'll find this little gem at Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/coverjuke/ It is a simple and fast XP/Vista emulation of Apple's glitzy cover flow software. It gives you instant access to all your music folders, using the folder.jpg etc. to quickly spin through your tunes. (And yes, I know about the SB Album Flow applet, but those of us living without controller units can only admire it from afar). The cover slider can be dragged by the mouse, or arrow keys etc. can be used to flip through the cover art. Find what you want give it the old double click and you're tapping your toes to the tunes. Right click and there are the filenames, you can select single tracks, even build a playlist with Ctrl double clicks. It has a winamp plugin, or you can point the prefs in the direction of your preferred external player, but if you want simplicity the embedded player is instant and effective. Nice package, and the price is right. There are no advanced music management features, though it has a limited folder search function. There are also several nice skins available - I like the black Vista skin myself... So how do you get it to work with your SB? Install the WaveInput plugin, and go to the entry in your Favorites. (waveinput is the last alpha entry in my favorites list so it's easy to get to by scrolling up instead of down.) Now the SB is receiving the sound card output and whatever you hear on the PC (for better or worse) is piped through the SB (no way to synch, of course, and no track info on the display, which I assume is due to using the plugin). Find the SC plugin and setup info at: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/WaveInput_plugin It takes a minute to initially load Coverjuke or to rescan for a big collection, but it's WAY faster than SC or even Moose, and once it's up you can hop around your collection at the speed of light.

Hello all, I've recently re-ripped my music collection as FLAC instead of WMA. Since doing this, i'm having problems with streaming music to my Squeezebox 2. The tracks will occasionally stop playing, the track timer bar just pauses and the audio stops. Pressing play again starts the track playing from the start. It happens on various FLAC files, and it didn't occur before with WMA. So far i've: Done a network test on the Squeezebox and this is 100% for all tests except 5000kbps, which stays at about 90%. Wifi signal is 90%, ping times under 1ms. I also connected the Squeezebox via cat5 rather than Wifi - the problem still occurs Re-applied firmware 130 to the Squeezebox - the problem still occurs Checked the integrity of the FLAC files using 'flac -t' at the command line (they were OK) The server running Squeezebox Server (Version: 7.4.1) is a small Windows Home Server, which doesn't have any obvious problems in Performance Monitor and otherwise functions OK. It's not running any other disk-intensive processes and has just been defragged. I've read a couple of things about checking the amount of buffer the squeezebox has, but I couldn't find these options - perhaps they were only available in earlier versions of the software? The only thing I have left to try is setting a static IP rather than DHCP, but i'd be surprised if this fixes it. Anyone got any other ideas?

Re: [slim] Love My Squeezebox! What's The Equivalent For Video?
Nice little boxes for playing video. ROKU is primarily for Netflix or Amazon steaming. Very easy to set up and use. WD TV Live is great for playing content off of a USB hard drive or your network. Supports most audio and video formats. Has HDMI, ethernet, optical audio, component and composite connections. Also works fairly well for Netflix or Hulu if you use Playon on a PC on the network.

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hi again I have an idea... Please send me the original wma-file. Plus, I'd like to have the full path to that track (on your server) That is - from the server's point of view. For example: if the track is C:/Stuff/MyMusic/AlbumA/Track.wma And you have set the SQCenter music directory to C:/Stuff/MyMusic The full path from the server's point of view would be: /AlbumA/Track.wma Edit: my email is sb AT sciatec DOT de -- Locuth Use your PDA/Phone as SqueezeBox remote -- http://sc.sciatec.de Locuth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29693 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62486 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] No Squeezebox Server Found
Problem mostly solved! It seems my wife (or someone; not me) reconnected the router wrong and had a second router (used for a wireless phone that I don't use) looped through it. Not sure exactly what the issue was, but it apparently prevented the SB and the computer from connecting along the proper IP address. I had no idea the devices were even connected. But while they now connect, there still appears to be some issues as the connection now cuts off after several minutes. It never did that before either. -- RDK RDK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73009 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

...and I should also add there's no sound coming from the PS3. There were some clicks when I first established the connection and started playing files but then absolute silence. Not long ago I started experiencing sound issues at startup (the usual Ubuntu login sound would not play - it used to just after install, but not anymore).

[slim] Squeezebox v3 support
Does logitech support the v3 squeezebox? Searching their site, I can find not reference to the product. They obviously want to sell the new stuff, but I am a bit confused on the progression here. Did SlimDevices get bought by Logitech and they are just ignoring these legacy products?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox v3 support
Almost all of what the SB1/2/3 do is done through software; there's really not much to the hardware (hence the Slim in Slim Devices). So follow the Squeezebox Server threads, and you'll see what there is to see. Basically, they're not really doing anything that's specific to the old units -- you're not going to get a new visualizer from Logitech, I don't think -- but the new capabilities they introduce work on all forms of Squeezeboxen whenever possible with hardware. And of course you could get a Controller for your SB3 if you want fancy handheld GUI. -- mkozlows mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74239 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
