I use tomato, it also has it's admin interface available from the
internet side via https, and from there i can do Wake on lane. This
enables me to boot my server if i want to listen via softsqueeze when
i'm traveling.
It also supports dyn dns and QoS .
And of course the antenna power boosting :)

There is more than DD-WRT or Tomato you have some more projekts
(google).

Ebin bought the WRT54GL the L is for Linux, it has more memory than the
standard model and is very well suited to run third party software.

The linux inside these softwares looks very similar to the OS logitech
is using in radio and touch and controller.

Yea substitute plugins with third party applications :) Touch would
still run lua apps. And with the new licensing in place. I think we will
se extensive mods on the stock applications too, hopefully lua is not to
hard to learn for those who can write code.

There are 3rd party firmware loads that you can run on some routers. 
The WRT-54GL and some versions of the WRT-54G WRT-54GS can run 3rd party
firmware loads.

Tomato is one project that is out there.  DD-WRT is another project. 
Personally I use DD-WRT on my WRT-54GS. 

Using 3rd party FW loads often give you capability that is missing from
the standard load.  I use DD-WRT to boost my wireless signal strenght a
smidge.  I also use a feature often called static DHCP which allows you
so assign an IP address to a particular device in the router.

I changed my wireless password and then tried to change it on my
Squeezebox radio.  I could not find an easy way to do this.  I happened
upon a workaround by trying to connect to another network and then I
could go back through the wireless connection setup wizard.  Is there an

It won't matter if you put the "t" in "ship."

I hesitate, briefly, to call out a Senior Member who's turned into a

I hesitate, briefly, to reiterate my previous point, more bluntly. 

You're not going to beat PS3, XBox or Sonos. If there are hoo-yah
dumbasses at Logitech demanding that everyone drink that kool-aid, then
bye bye Squeezebox.

Your goal is to be Lamborghini, not to beat Ford. Go upscale, not mass
market. There's nothing in the mass market for you except disaster.
Think Bose. They're a half-assed should-be-mass-market product that gets
people to pay way more than they should. And Squeezebox isn't even
half-assed.

You can so win.

The browser  has 5 categories now:
'my Music'
'Radio'
'Services' - like Deezer, LastFM,...
'Favorites'
'Track Search'

Within each category, backswipe will take you back in the hierarchy.
To get out of the browser, you tap the exit-arrow.
I though that was the most obvious way.

You are right, several steps in the browser hierarchy would not need 2
clicks.
However, it's simply much easier (programatically) to stick to certain
scheme. And the scheme in SCtrl is: 
1st click - select item (and potentially add to playlist, or display
tooltip) 
2nd click - open item.

The keyboard has two toggle modes: characters and numerical/special
characters. The toggle-button is the bottom-right key.
If it's not working for you, I think you found a bug there. It would be
great if you could take a snapshot or a photograph.

Re: [slim] The competition is catching up and some surpassing Squeezebox...fast!

2010-01-30 Thread grego . speiser

In the midst of renovating our attic, I am re-considering my plan to use
a squeezebox touch.

With the advent of cheap nettops that can output 1080p video thru HDMI,
I will likely buy an Acer Aspire R3610 for $300 (Canadian) and install
XBMC, SBS and whatever the software-based player is called (squeezeplay,
softsqueeze?).

I was attracted to the Touch since I would be able to shut down the old
desktop that is my current music (and video) server, but for the same
price I can get a computer that will act as music and video server and
player.

I currently own a SB3 and a Boom and use my Ipod touch with Ipeng's
app.  I was a prime candidate to add to the line-up with a Touch, but
will likely opt for a nettop computer given the following factors:
-high price of the touch
-relatively low price of 1080p playing nettops
-I'm not an audiophile so the Touch's superior audio compared to
nettop+AV amp is not a personal selling point although I can certainly
see it is for others
-the Touch is still unavailable (I likely would have purchased in
December)

Or: you want something now, and realize that in another few
weeks/months/years, you will be totally immersed in music and wonder why
you have only one SB, and will get a Touch/Radio/Boom then anyway.

(That '/' could be an 'or' or for some 'and'...)

One of the serious advantages of the SB lineup is that you -can- keep
adding players as you realize how nice it is to have access to your
library everywhere  I would be curious to see mean and mode's on how
many players are installed... I think after 6 months it would be less
than 50% that have only one player.

So get the Classic now, and when touch is out, add that to your
lineup.

The price is good enough I would have bought one if I had a spot for
it.

Re: [slim] SB Classic Dented Box

2010-01-30 Thread mlsstl

$120 is a very nice price reduction. 

Whether the Classic is for you or you should wait for the Touch depends
on your priorities and is a question only you can answer. 

The Classic would be a good choice if:

- you're on a budget,
- you're a casual listener and just want access to internet radio
and music files on your computer,
- you don't feel compelled to have the newest version of something,
- you're happy with a simple remote (or other external interface)
and don't need to see album art,
- you don't want access to external USB drives direct from the
unit.

The Touch sounds like it'd be better if:

- Sound is important. Beta testers report the Touch's sound quality
is better than the Classic and may eliminate the need for external DACs
and other mods many Classic users pursue.
- The Touch does more. It can access an external USB drive without a
server.
- The Touch has a nice interface and display screen.
- The Touch will natively play higher resolution files. 

There are other differences, but the above will give you a starting
framework.

Honestly, at that price I'd grab one. If after half a year you were to

Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95

2010-01-30 Thread Muele

Hi. I have played around some more. 
Unfortunately I can't do screenshot and don't know what you call the
different meus etc, so I hope you understand what i mean below,
otherwise let me know and I will rephrase.

Here goes:
Main music-selection menu has no back-swipe but a back-icon instead. Is
that not a legacy from before you invented the backswipe?

Double click: main menu: to select eg artists I need to click twice.
The first click just highlights it. Fine for e.g. highligting an album
so you can click on one of the three add-to-playlist-buttons. But not in
the higher levels of navigation. Other places I have noticed it: To
select an internet service, and to open an "activity" in the service.
E.g open my newsfeed in Facebook. When drilling down in the radio-menu.
Problably several other places...

I think I don't understand the use of the "keyboard" below the alphabet
(great feature btw). when i clock I get a very small "popup" Rounded in
one corner, but sort of cut off on the bottom and right side. Apparently
it is for selecting .,: Probably usefull for some. But why not include
more "special" characters?

Hey, I just discovered there's a sleep function. Cool.

I finally figured the sync out. It's hard to fit a lot of features in a
small amount of space. Some learning curve is necesary. When I posted
yesterday I hadn't spent much time on it. A minute or two more probably
would have made me figure it out. But instructive vidoes sound like a
good idea.

The actions to get into the current playlist requires two steps. I
think it would be better to have one icon on the now playing screen. And
the icon to open the row of four icons: off,settings,players,playlist
isn't really visually up to the rest of the ui I think.

Thats all for now. I hope it is of some value to you. 

Oh, regarding the lefthand skin. I understand the design decision. And
the layout doesn't bother me at all. But the right-swipe actually still
does after a couple of hours of using 1.3. I will ofcourse get used to
it eventually. At some point you suggested activating both left- and
rightswipe at the same time. I think that would be a good idea, if not
too difficult to implement. That is: in all locations were rightswipe
causes a back-command, make a leftswipe do the same.

This works really well - thanks!  I'm having a minor problem getting it
to sort by Artist though.  It worked OK at first, and then I changed and
sorted by Album instead and that worked fine too.  Then I went back to
sort by Artist again, and now it keeps sorting by Album, even though I
have selected the 'sort by artist' radio button.  It runs through the
sort, and when it is done, the program window has the 'sort by Album'
radio button selected - it seems to select it by itself in the course of
operation.  I have deleted the folder and downloaded the 3.02 version,
and this still happens.  Any way to get my Artist sort back?  [running
on Windows 7]
Thanks
Anna

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?

2010-01-30 Thread epoch1970

I was looking at th cover size on iTunes Store, I thought it was larger
than 600x600 but this seems to be the size currently used. The rationale
behind this seems to be that a CD cover is 12cm square, about 4.73
inches.
At 100dpi you need 473 pixels square. 100 dpi is not much when
printing. I have a feeling that you could end up with a layout that
could make for a printable catalog of the library, and I believe 300 dpi
is more or less the baseline when printing in color ?

I liked the demo of the iphoto browser in iPad. It reminded me of an
itunes app I was using long ago, showing stacks of covers on the
desktop, clicking a cover was controlling play on itunes, and the
playlist itself was a stack of covers. Could be fun with
shake-for-random... 

I still want SBS to offer better library browsability, ability to
insert new songs after an album (instead of right after what's playing),
ability to truncate the playlist at some point, ability to add server
actions (like sync, enter sleep, volume up...) between songs.

NB: since I don't have an ipod/phone, I only saw iPeng briefly. I don't
really know what it does already.

Re: [slim] The competition is catching up and some surpassing Squeezebox...fast!

2010-01-30 Thread tedfroop

Add to all that - public domain movies.  There  is a ton of movies in
the public domain now.  Download and watch free.  If you have a pc based
dvr you can record and watch what you want when you want.

If there was a device Squeezebox device like my media player I would
buy one in a heartbeat.  The combination of software and hardware in the
Squeezebox architecture is what makes it simple to use and endlessly
customizable as well.  

My media box has no such simplicity.  I know my wife has no problems
using the Squeezebox but I doubt she could figure out the media box or
use it a second time without written instructions.


I would love a single device but things being as they are, I will live
with two.

I've got multiple instances of SqueezeSlave-asio running as services on
Windows 2k3SBS!  It was quite easily really but there is a gotcha:

You need to run the services using a "real" user account's credentials
that you have previously logged in as and ran all of the Squeezeslave's
from the command-line.  This allows you to configure the instances of
asio4all that pop up.  Once you've done that you can run the services (I
use srvany from the Windows Server Resource Kit).

Don't try to use the local system account for multi-asio as there's no
way to configure asio4all.  I tried copying some registry keys to the
system account but that didn't work.  I did however have multiple
instances of non-asio running flawlessly using the system account
without any problems at all.

I used a seperate copy of SqueezeSlave for each instance.  I don't know
if it's essential but I thought it might help asio4all distinguish
between the multiple instances of SS.

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?

2010-01-30 Thread dsdreamer

Although there are a ton of things you could do, I would keeping to the
basic UI design you already have but with the swipe-away screens kept
visible in separate panels (especially the track progress toaster and
the playlist). I am less sure about keeping the devices/servers/sync
groups screen visible but I would consider it for landscape mode.  On
the other hand, to avoid clutter and accidental key presses you might
want to keep it as a swipe-on screen.

Obviously, you would want to scale the various panels appropriately,
and give suitable room for album artwork.

The only thing I would like is for is for the album browsing screen to
use the screen real estate to show a *large* grid of album covers. I'd
like to see at least 24 album covers at once. It will be best if 100% of
the screen is used for a cover art grid when you are browsing for an
album to play. Otherwise keep to at least 2/3 of the screen in landscape
mode for the album art grid and allow drag-and-drop of an album onto the
playlist window taking up the other 1/3 of the space.

[slim] Duet - No AUdio Problem

Hi,
I recently got a Duet and HP server and set it up "on the Benc" and all
appeared OK. I then unplugged the receiver to move it to it's proper
home, re-powered it, and all seemed to re-connect, but I get no audio. I
can access my music library, select a track, on the controller it
appears to play (ie. the track pointer moves along) but no sound. Also,
internet radio stations that used to play now just seem to get stuck in
an endless loop of buffering. 

I've tried allsorts to fix but am stumped? Connecting my original SB3
and all works fine?

Anyone come accross this, any help.

The receiver is hard wired to the the server, all running the latest
software I think...

Good one, thanks.

SlimCtrl prepends the track name with the track (album-) index.
If the track index is unknown (check your id3 tag) SCtrl shows "??".
Just to have a consistent display format.

[slim] Some Good News For a Change

2010-01-30 Thread ebin

Hi All

Just a short note to say that 
"After upgrade and new router, everything working great"

Was having problems with 2 wireless SB3's re-buffering,
and the Duet only about 75% reliable 
This was really ruining the SB experience.

After doing some troubleshooting and 
moving/replacing my wireless access point
I now have music nirvana back again.

Upgraded server to Version: 7.3.4 - 28402, did the
firmware upgrade, replaced 8yr old D-Link router
with a new Linksys WRT54GL and hardwiring my Duet
receiver to the router, things are back to normal.

Internet radio streams great and music plays flawlessly.

Have come to this conclusion, wireless routers don't last forever
(the signal was becoming progressively worse as time went on)
So if you are having re-buffering problems it could be you router
and I recommend the Linksys WRT54GL 
(nice out of the box and can't wait to try Tomato firmware on it)

I am back to music bliss with my 2 SB3s and the Duet.
Now to get my Ubuntu server going!!

Cheers and "Free Your Music

Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool

2010-01-30 Thread nico

Hi all,

Just like to report my findings using Net::UDAP to configure a SBR on a
wired LAN with DHCP-assigned ipaddr to point to the SqueezeNetwork and
stream music from there.

The perl code doesn't seem to work on Mac OS X Leopard. It seems the
discovery mechanism is the problem. Nothing seems to happen when I ran
`discover'. No info messages showing any activity. Also tried running
broadcast_test.pl on OS X but that also didn't work.

However, I tried again from a Windows XP machine and all went smoothly.
To point the SBR to the SqueezeNetworks service I just did a DNS lookup
of www.squeezenetwork.com and used the first ip addr in the result
(66.151.159.227). 

In summary, these are the commands I used:

Code:


  set interface=1
  set lan_ip_mode=1
  set lan_gateway=192.168.253.254
  set primary_dns=192.168.253.17
  set secondary_dns=210.130.1.1
  set server_address=66.151.159.227
  set squeezecenter_address=66.151.159.227
  save_data
  reset
  



After that, I was able to see and control the SBR on mysqueezebox.com.
How awesome is that! Thanks very much for the tool.

Re: [slim] The competition is catching up and some surpassing Squeezebox...fast!

2010-01-30 Thread Nonreality

I don't know but it seems I can watch the Unforgiven over and over and
if I'm switching channels and the Shawshank Redemption is on, then I'm
stuck. There are others that do this to me also. Video's do mean
something to me.

Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95

I agree, but on the other hand, in some cases it's usefull that it
waits for a secont 'tap'before it does anything.


Heres' what I found after a quick test:

When I start the app, the scrolling text in the top is not text, but a
blur of pixels. After a while though, it works fine. - See Screen1

When i go into the album info (slide up on the album cover) ant want to
see a song title that is longer than the screen is wide, it works fine,
except if it is the second lowest line. then the 'popup text' is cut in
half. - see Screen2

When searching for songs, the result is shown, but in front of every
found song, it displays "?? - ". - see Screen3

The main playing scren seems to be missing some backgrounds. I'm
guessing it's because I just copied the SlimCtrl_13_beta.exe directly to
the older SlimCtrl 1.0b program folder on my phone. - see screen4


All in all, a SUPER upgrade, with some very nice features. I like it a
lot.
a big thanks to Sebastian + beta testers for making this app.

Hoping my observations will help

With ports, check the easy stuff first... are you running a firewall?
Download ActivePorts v1.4 and see if anything is using those ports

Make sure you are running SBS 7.4.2 (or 7.5)

Are you running on XP and is SBS starting as a Service?

[slim] PLEASE HELP...I am going mad!!

2010-01-30 Thread wonder boy

OK...slight exaggeration but only slight!

2 booms and 1 SB3 all wireless with ok ish reliability. Been tinkering
all week as I have had some rebuffering. Tried 7.4.1, 7.3.2, 7.3.3 and
currently with 7.4 as I would like to be able to use mysb.com. Music is
FLAC on an external hd.

On a few occasions and including just now rebufferring has been
followed by the server actually stopping.

When I open the control panel under diagnostics it tells me

Port 3483 (slimproto)   Failed
Port 9000 (HTTP)Failed
Port 9090 (CLI) Failed

and in the alerts box it reads 'possible software conflict found'

Short of restoring my pc to factory state I am at a loss, just love the
SB experience when it works. Very grateful for any suggestions.
Currently virus scanning.

Many thanks for reading.
