Re: [slim] Woeful sync SB3 Boom - just me?
It is not the wrong time of day that is the issue, but the rate of change of that time of day. The synchronization process works by calculating, every second, the -apparent- start time of the track for each player, based on the report from each player of amount of the track that has been played (in milliseconds) and the timestamp of that report. That timestamp is converted to clock time by using the -time epoch- of the player, which is tracked separately. When two players in a sync-group have different apparent start times (by more than 10ms), the server tells one of them to make an adjustment (usually by skipping a very small interval). The algorithms use various smoothing and hysteresis functions to avoid false adjustments. A system (server) clock that runs at a sufficiently different speed to the clocks of the players will mess up this process. -- awy awy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76378 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
*bump* the license agreement http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.4/tags/7.4.2/server/License.txt states Code: Squeezebox firmare may not be redistributed under any circumstances. It is (c) Slim Devices, and additonally contains code which is (c) Ubicom. Ubicom's code is licenced to us only for direct distribution in binary form. You may use the firmware only on hardware manufactured by Slim Devices. I think this is about the files in http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.4/tags/7.4.2/server/Firmware/ (so all older SB-Devices). So the question is, if it is allowed to: * make a custom SB-Server Package (or system image) including the Firmware. Downloadable free of charge, maybe integrated in a repository (apt, yum) * make a package without the firmware, but automaticly download and install the firmware from svn.slimdevices on first start * make a package without the firmware, inform the user about the license, then automaticly download the firmware from svn.slimdevices. * automaticly download an official package from slimdevices on first start i would welcome an offical statement and a reason why redistribution is not allowed. I guess the firmware contains/used licensed code (mp3 decoder, fpga compiler, ip stack, ...) that is not allowed for redistribution, but i can only guess. -- fragfutter fragfutter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35184 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
Hi, I have an HTC Desire on the way and will get Squeeze Commander as soon as I can. Question: My music library is mostly in FLAC, does the file get transcoded to mp3 on the way or as I'm expecting you just get it as is? Is there a plug-in anywhere for SqueezeBox Server that does the transcoding for one? It would be really useful.

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
IIRC most of the distribution have asked the same questions and the main issue is no firmware in the distribution - all necessary firmware is downloaded automatically. I think you also have to distribute the source code so a compiled version as in the Windows distro is not allowed. If changes are made to the source code - you will have to follow source code licensing. There are other licensing issues about other binaries from 3rd parties such as faad which need to be examined. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 bricked? (perpetual reboot)
Add me to the list of lucky people with this problem. I went away for a week, when I came back my SB3 does this. Tried the factory reset, nada, same behaviour as above. I will bust out the Torx bits and see if I can get the wireless card out. My SB3 was bought way back in late 2005. It has worked flawlessly till now. It appears to be a network interface issue of some kind since when I link it directly to my router the link light comes on with the logs and then goes out, until it resets again. The Toslink light stays on the whole time as long as there is power. Strange. Oh and I never had the mid-song reboot...went from perfect to brick. Has anyone solved this issue? Thanks.

Re: [slim] Licenses Agrrement for SqueezeBox-Server
There are plenty of distributions that include the server, e.g. FreeNAS, vortexbox, don't know but they might have cared about the license. FWIW: neither FreeNAS nor SlimNAS include the server code. SlimNAS only provides the infrastructure to easily download/install/run SBS on FreeNAS. I did include the server code in good ol' SlimCD. But that was probably illegal (but nobody cared anyway), and a major pain for me to keep up to date. I clearly wouldn't recommend it. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
