Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] iPeng 1.2 for iPhone now on the AppStore
Ok, I agree this has long been overdue :) iPeng 1.2.1 has been out for a while now but the User's manual was not completely up to speed with this release. Now, this has changed. I'm happy to announce that the User's Manual is now fully up to date with regards to iPeng 1.2.1. While completing the 1.2.1 version, we added some more detail and hopefully the readability has improved as well. Also, the new User's Manual is now available for download in PDF format. Like before, it's designed as an online manual, supports readability on iPhone/iPod touch through an iPhone skin and can be reached using the links in the App under "Help". You can find the User's manual at help.penguinlovesmusic.de Even if you are an experienced iPeng user, have a look and see whether you'll discover some features you didn't know about, yet.

Re: [slim] Is it possible? PC & Albumplayer (a windows media player) direct to Squeezebox
ive been playing with the squeeze centre all night and i have really come to the conclusion now that it is terrible. I gave it a few days just to make sure i wasnt being unfair but the SB software is absolutely dismal. the hardware is first class probably the best out there but it is horribly let down with its software. even playing with the moose interface is awful. its just slow and clunky to use. they have a great product here which could be so much better its a shame. there is no way i could live with that software I have just uninstalled the lot, squeezecentre, squeezeplay and moose. as good as the hardware is because of the software it is not for me, I will wait for an alternative. The way technology is moving on I shouldnt have to wait too long. Hopefully some of the software writers will get something sorted for it soon. I know its may be personal preference and I even considered getting rid of Albumplayer if the software was OK but there really is no contest. -- west_sounds west_sounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36895 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76038 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Softsqueeze doesn't play 24/96 because 24/96 is passed unchanged to Softsqueeze as it is setup to emulate a Transporter and Javasound doesn't support 24/96.

I've got a web server with a pretty similar software configuration and there it works fine. Symptoms is that it runs at low priority (~2-3% CPU usage), everything times out, including web interface, scan takes around 4 days as compared to <0.5h with trunk. I tried removing all things squeeze and doing clean installs without avail. Installing a 7.5 trunk right over it works fine.

[slim] Squeezebox controller buggy
For two days my squeezebox controller could not connect to mysqeezebox.com. Ik could controll my duet perfectly from my computer (web-remote) or my iphone (iPeng), but not from the controller. I rebooted, but it did not connect to my network propperly several times. No mysqueezebox.com or my local server. Did a factory restore after which it did at least see my local server, but failed on all connection-tests to mysqueezebox.com, got connection, lost all connections and froze. I took out the battery, and after that it suddenly seemed to work fine. I left home, duet turned off, controller in the cradle, dimmed screen. When I got home, the controller was all flakey. Menu's did not respond, and the whole thing was terribly slow. No connection of course, and even the off-button did not respond. Took out the battery once more, and it now works again like a dream, but for how long?. It runs 7.4.1 for months now, without any serious trouble uptill now. Any ideas? I read some posts of this about previous versions of the firmware, but none with a clue about what is really the problem or the solution.

You can use the WaveInput plugin. There will be an audio delay between what is on the PC and what is on the squeezebox.

Re: [slim] Playlist Help
Thank you for the reply. I didn't see an import but will do some searching to make sure i didn't miss it. I don't get any error at all it simply does nothing. I have tried resaving the file as something else within the squeeze server in the event it was corrupt but that yielded the same results. I can create a wpl or whatever the MS playlist type is and open those in seconds. I figured m3u was standard and would have been really surprised if it wouldn't have been supported. Can I ask, what player you use that you don't have issues? -- bline22 bline22's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75980 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Ok - you've got your wish. The Squeeze setup is pretty well documented - the hardware can be used with what ever software author wants to support it. It's not a hardware problem, it's a software problem. It's up to the software authors, like Albumplayer, to step up if they want to provide customers the ability to use third party hardware. Or they can wait until Logitech sees a customer demand for that specific application large enough to buy its way into the development plan. Or for an independent author to create the integration - depends on how open the ISV is with their internals/APIs. Logitech can either focus on improving the SBS UX or becoming dependent on the viability, popularity and goodwill of third party ISVs. That's a pretty hard business case to make. From what I've seen the priority is on 1) Good hardware 2) Functional Software 3) Extensibility to other music player/managers (iTunes) and services - Pandora, Last.fm, etc. As time moves forward the plan should be a well balanced approach - new hardware to open new market segments and retain current markets, better software to improve UX and more options with third party software and services. Without an unlimited budget they are faced with the traditional triangle of project management - schedule (time), resources and scope. The new releases of the Radio, Touch, SBS 7.4x and new applications indicate that this is the route Logitech is taking and either unexpected problems with resources or scope are impacting schedule and delaying the Touch. I'd certainly bet that getting the Touch out the door is priority 1 at this point, since hardware is the basic revenue driver. -- JeffHart "You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to."

Re: [slim] SB3/boom text scrolling "stutters"
I tried the new settings and it is much smoother, and I don't see to get the jumps like before (actually I think because the step size is reduced the jumps are harder to see).

Re: [slim] SB3/boom text scrolling "stutters"
Thanks Andy, I think that's the key. I'll change frequencies, I'm assuming a strength of 70%+ should be enough. Thinking about it, when my Boom is playing music it sometimes interferes with the baby monitor, which isn't a wi-fi device. Starting to point to a frequency clash.

If it works fine when wired this means you have a poor wireless network.

Thanks, but it's not the scroll rate that's the problem, it's the scrolling jumping several positions in one go. But I'll have a play, can't hurt!

Looking at the code reveals that the audio device is opened outside the retry loop and is never reinitialized if the connection is dropped. Which is what happens when the system drops to sleep. I'll investigate how this should be handled with the portaudio library.

Re: [slim] DSBridge - A simpler way to stream Spotify
I wondered if anyone had successfully got DSBridge working on Windows Server 2008? The DSBridge tray icon doesn't appear when I start Spotify. My work around at the moment is to run DSBridge/Spotify on a Hyper-V XP VM, which works fine. I used System Internals Process Explorer to compare the XP and Server installations when up and running. The XP version references the modified dsound.dll in the Spotify directory, and dsound.dll in the windows\system32 folder. The Server installation only references the dsound.dll in the windows\SysWOW64 directory. It would appear that the standard DLL loading order is different under Server 2008, perhaps due to permissions or UAC or something else that I'm not familiar with. Before I start messing around, I wondered if anyone knew the answer to this one? -- badboygolf16v badboygolf16v's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19486 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64590 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Is it possible? PC & Albumplayer (a windows media player) direct to Squeezebox
I think the beauty of these devices is choice, myself: you can use the IR remote, or a Controller, or an SB Touch, or an iPod Touch with one of the 3rd party remotes, or a web interface. You can install to a NAS if you want. Or you can choose to use mysqueezebox.com and leave your computer off. Having said that I agree with previous posts about the web interface: it is slow, even on a well-specified machine; I couldn't personally use it all the time, I use the IR until I've got enough pennies for an iPod touch and iPeng. The key thing for me is how good Squeezeboxes sound and, in my experience, they work every time I want to listen to music. Some previous players I've had took, erm, "tinkering" before they'd produce noise. -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 > dBpoweramp Reference 13.3 > SqueezeCenter 7.4.2 > Squeezebox 3 > ears moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76038 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I agree and as one other member said it is all about personal preference. I think even though the software is useable some people prefer to use what they want to use and its the hardware that is the best part of it. Software is always changing I would have thought that it has to be best to make hardware that can be used with what ever is the user wants or what the fashion is at the moment. -- west_sounds west_sounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36895 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76038 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
