Re: [slim] Anyone have over 100,000 tracks in their library?
longhornalum;516598 Wrote: I recently bought an HP EX485 MediaSmart server mainly to run squeezebox server for a squeezebox duet. After the EX485 took 3-4 days to simply create the library and index the mp3's, I realized that the server was not going to be able to handle a large library. I upgraded the server processor from a single core 2 ghz celeron to a dual core 2.8 ghz E6300 pentium processor. My server and my squeezebox receiver are hardwired into my uverse router, and I can get decent performance if I access my library from a browser. However, if I use the duet controller or ipeng, the connection can take minutes to list the files or time out when I try and access certain genres or categories. I am a little disappointed that I am having so much trouble just trying to stream to a single squeezebox receiver. My real question is how much hardware is needed to run squeezebox server reliably and be able to stream to multiple receivers with a library of 100,000 mp3's? Does anyone with a large collection have any advice on getting better performance from my library or at least the wireless controllers? Thanks! Ultraviolet has a library of over 400,000 tracks... you may want to ask him. The main problem with such large libraries is that (aside from scanning which is going to take a while) some lists such as all tracks in a genre are going to be HUGE. They are going to create quite a bit of network traffic too.

One other thing that I just thought of: Is it possible that the Boom has the same IP address as the server? Are you using DHCP? If so, make sure you don't give out addresses that might be statically assigned to computers or devices on the network.

You're just back where you started.

Re: [slim] Anyone have over 100,000 tracks in their library?
Some of my beta testers use very large libraries even with a ReadyNAS, although it's a pain. Your HW definitely sounds powerful enough. There's a few things to consider WRT iPeng: 1. iPeng caches long lists. This helps a lot with browsing after it has done so but can slow things down during the process. It does so after each change to your library only. 2. With this size of a library you definitely want to set Prevent Sleep Mode or keep Connection in Settings-iPeng settings at least until the caching is done (for convenience use keep connection). You can see caching is done if the blue progress indicator in the Albums view finishes. 3. Make sure you don't have a virus scanner interfere with your index files. That's a known issue especially with McAfee. See http://penguinlovesmusic.de/ipeng-the-iphone-skin-for-squeezecenter/how-to-use-the-ipeng-application/known-issues/ The largest library I've seen myself had 247.000 tracks and took somewhere around 5-6 min for cache syncing in iPeng with a fast server. Time is pretty much exclusively determined by server performance. 7.5.0 embedded beta will speed things up a LOT wrt these queries. But it's not perfectly reliable yet. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

ajkidle;516712 Wrote: Do I need to worry about having the display brightness set to the max setting (4) on an SB3? Is this going to result in burn-in or premature aging of the display? Some people may tell you that it won't. But I have an SB2, with the same screen and I allowed it to set in the Date Time screensaver for a number of months at maximum brightness and the pixels at the center of the display are noticeably dimmer than those toward the sides. Unfortunately, the choices for brightness settings don't quite align with my usage patterns. There are the following settings (note that 'Power Off' really means 'Standby', since the Squeezebox always remains powered on): * Power On Brightness. This is the setting used when the SB comes out of standby and when a user is actively using the remote to navigate menus or through the music library. I set this to the brightest setting for greatest visibility while doing something with the remote. * Idle Brightness. This is the setting used when a user is not actively using the remote. After a timeout period with no user input, the brightness shifts to this setting. Note that 'idle' is only in reference to user input activity, not whether music is playing. * Power Off Brightness. This is the setting used when the Squeezebox is in standby mode. My problem with this approach is that when music is playing I often want to read the Now Playing display. Which means a relatively bright setting, and (for me) brightest is best. But it also means that when the Squeezebox sits for 20+ hours each day not playing any music it will be sitting at this brightness level. Two less than ideal workarounds that I've found are: 1) Use the Brightness button on the remote to increase the brightness while listening to music and try to remember to set it back to a lower level when finished. 2) Set the Power Off Brightness to a low level and remember to power off the Squeezebox when not in use. This is difficult, as there's actually very little reason to ever power off the Squeezebox, especially if you have both the 'off' and 'stopped' screensavers set to the Date Time screensaver. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75219 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This would be true if you had the entire display lit all the time. Unfortunately this is not the case, the pixels wear out differently according to their use. So you have some pixels that are still like new, while others have already significantly faded, which is much more irritating than a screen that has become less bright as a whole. A clock screensaver, for example, is actually an oxymoron. It is all but a screen -saver-, it is more of a screen -destroyer- since it stresses a small number of pixels all the time. A scrolling display or one that switches between different screens should cause less damage.

Now that's about as much as I am allowing. For fast queries (albums, artists, ...): 10 seconds @ 50 items == 30 seconds @ 150 items. Folder queries get some extra for the server appearently needs to scan the folder structure first. Actually it's even less. As you said: Leaner protocol. Plus I never query all tagged parameter. But of course, if more than two people complained about timeouts I would change it. So far only few have.

Re: [slim] Anyone have over 100,000 tracks in their library?
Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to try the new settings with ipeng today. Does the duet controller also use a cache? It seems to take just as long each time I try and access a large genre even if I just had it loaded. It isn't very useful to us at the present time. I tried to use the embedded squeezeserver beta, but every time I tried a version, it wouldn't find my library, so I went back to the production version. I even pointed it to the correct directories in the add-in settings, and it would conduct a scan and not find anything. It sounds like that is the only hope for a significant performance enhancement. I am testing the system on one receiver right now for a house that we are building and moving into in a few months. I hope to have 6-8 receivers hardwired into my network if I can get some decent performance. Pippin, my wife downloaded ipeng the other day and was able to successfully use it without any instructions. That says a lot about the functionality you have put into the app. Thanks for creating it. -- longhornalum longhornalum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36478 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Anyone have over 100,000 tracks in their library?
Hi, +90k songs, 3 SB, 1 Boom, 1 Controller, ipeng, Readynas NVX = no real problem but my wife wants multiple library. I use Lazy search 90% of time with IR remote but both ipeng(-) and controler(+) are pretty fast since I use 742. I found Windows SB server to be slower than UX based machines. If you're not into UX, you can run UX from within a virtualbox headless just for SB. Good luck and just know that it is working for others. -- atz6975 atz6975's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6395 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95
In any case just provide a backdoor to escape in such situations. I build here a double handycap. First the bridge from the squeeze to etrayz. Why not a message if someone try 3 or 4 times. and than a pointer goto confg and give a longer time?. There will be more and more use of Etrayz and when we hopefully have the player for Xtreamer. SSOEZ is now a one click installation andworks like a charme. As more easy it is as more people will use it. http://forum.xtreamer.net/viewtopic.php?f=168t=12098 Pippin have the most profit from this at the moment. But there are also special from Germany a big fraction of Android and Winmobile users. They very often hear the first time from Squeeze. If a player is there and easy to install i think there are more than 2 who use Squeeze. Additional specialfor ARM processoryou can download in the nightly builds a Slimserver.

Re: [slim] Anyone have over 100,000 tracks in their library?
I have a little over 187K tracks in FLAC (about 16890 CDs). Once the library is scanned, I have not been seeing any issues. My suggestion would be to make sure the PC is only used as an SBS Server and if you can handle it, convert the OS to Linux. I have a house full of Squeezeboxes and a dedicated Linux SBS Server has made using Squeezebox fun instead of having to always mess around with Routers and PCs. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
