[slim] Daily Squeezecenter crash
This has been happening for ages, and it doesn't seem to affect the normal running of the system, but I thought I'd finally try and figure out what's going on... I'm running Squeezecenter 7.3.2 on an Ubuntu machine. Every day (well, every 24hours and 3mins to be exact - you could set your watch by it), there's a segfault in squeezecenter-server. In fact there's a sequence of 7 segfaults, one every 30 seconds. Then they stop, only to repeat the next day. I note that the elapsed time for 7 failures 30 seconds apart is 3 mins, so presumbly whatever it is that causes the segfaults gets rescheduled for the next day after the 7 failures - hence the fact it happens every 24 hours and 3 mins. Clearly Squeezecenter (or perhaps a plugin?) is trying to do something once a day, and gives up after 7 failures. I have Software Updates and Library Rescanning switched OFF. Two questions: 1. What debug flags can I set to try and get more info about what's happening? 2. How do I actually switch on the appropriate debug settings on an Ubuntu installation? Finally: please don't suggest that I upgrade to a newer version of Squeezebox Server - the system is working fine (apart from this one weirdness) and I'm not inclined to go through the hassle of updating on the offchance it will fix this one tiny glitch. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77160 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Itunes Duplicates/triplicates being created - help
Is the iTunes XML file on the network drive at all? For all I know, iTunes always creates it in your user profile, no matter where the actual music library is. But generally I would recommend to use either iTunes integration or the SB library scanner, but not both at the same time (i.e. leave the Music Folder field in the server settings blank if you use iTunes integration). Otherwise it is quite likely that tracks are imported twice. -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77167 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

usch;533274 Wrote: Ah, ok. We need the whole menu back, not only Save to favorites. :) There used to be technical information, too, like the station's URL and bitrate. What they should have done is to -add- the radiotime menu to the original NP menu, instead of -replacing- it. I wonder when they sneaked that change in. I've been using 7.5 beta for quite some time, but I only noticed the changed menu after the code freeze. I completely agree! The new RadioTime context menu is neat, I like it's additions. But lacking the most basic of station info (like you said, bitrate and format) is just plain silly. Even the choose a stream is neat, where you may be offered like four different streams (at different bitrates) to choose from. But this is POINTLESS information if I do not know which of those streams I am currently connected too. My suggested options: 1. put the More Info tab back 2. put stream info (bitrate format) as the first two context menu items, then offer me You may like etc.. 3. when I hit Choose a stream but a bullet or short note next to the stream I am currently playing Any one of the above would solve the issue, I'd prefer both 2 3 myself. BTW: This change only affects RadioTime streams, all other streams are just as before offering bitrate format info. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77143 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

bertdoozer wrote: BTW: There is zero need for 11n for audio wireless. Pat even if you are steaming your music in FLAC 24bit at 192KHz? Yes, even if. And of course, there is no real reason to use 192khz, since there is no information there. Ill agree that 88.2 or 94 x 24 can be better than 44.1/16, but only can be not is. The detailed data rates for RedBook (uncompressed PCM, aka 44.1/16) are 172 Kbytes/second. So it is easy to see that to make CD audio, you need at about 1.5 Megabits per second. If you go to 88.2kHz, you double it to ~3 megabits/second. Go to /24 and multiply by 1.5, to ~4.5 megabits/sec. Raw, flac will compress RedBook by about 50%, taking you back to ~2.2 mbs. Since 802.11g delivers more than 50mbs, you have tons of room, and if you insist, can double it again, since twice ~2.2 is still ~4.5. The numbers are slightly bigger if you change from 172.4 to 192kHz, but not enough to make a serious difference. The bigger issue question is is there any signal up there and so far, for nearly all studied cases, the answer is no. A fair amount of even 88.2 kHz recordings are just made from the 44.1 masters, so there is not much, if any, signal above 22.1 kHz. The actual bits may be different, as recordings sold to audiophiles tend to suffer less from Loudness Wars, and may be mastered more carefully. But its not like the expensive professional microphones out there have any ability to capture signals much over 20kHz. One also has to understand the realities of making a new product in the SlimDevices space. The Touch was released to manufacturing last Summer. Its design was finalized before the 11n spec was finalized. For a mass market product like all of the SqueezeBoxen, its not really a matter of when the spec part is finished, but rather its when do the chip makers ramp up production so that the support chips are in large enough volume to be inexpensive. Its one thing for early adopter geeks to want to by the first 802.11n router, its another thing for LogiTech to order half a million chips.

Re: [slim] 802.11N Wireless Support
toby10;533258 Wrote: Correct, N still not needed. I can stream full WAV's to three wireless SB players using a G router without a hiccup. I think where N might be a benefit to G devices (like SB players) is if you have spotty G WiFi (interference, long distance to players, etc..). But if your G WiFi is strong and doesn't suffer from such issues then you would never know the difference between G or N. The ability of .11n to work reliably over long distances and use spatial diversity to overcome interference is a very material point. Additionally, dual band operation provides a significant boost to the number of free channels you can use to escape the overcrowded 2.4GHz band. Consider how many posts have been made to this forum on issues of drop-outs and stuttering that turned out to be wireless related. In my opinion, .11n is not needed for speed but it is needed for robustness. Or, I should say use of .11n is -one- way to obtain robustness. Another approach would be to use technologies like SMSC's KLEER or Sonos' proprietary SonosNet, which use various technical approaches that are better suited to the QoS requirements of an audio link than is standard wireless LAN in an overcrowded ISM band. I realize there are reasons for being ideologically opposed to using proprietary networking. These days, the best standardized technology for that would be dual-band 802.11n with at least 2 spatial streams, even though it is extreme overkill in terms of bandwidth for audio applications. Fortunately, we get to reuse that network for many other things as well (video streaming, downloading the latest Ubuntu 10.04 ISO images to our laptops etc etc).

Which is a great goal. And in a few years, when all the chips do both bands, bonding, etc for $0.05 each, it will be part of the product line for Logitech and everyone else. Those early adopter geeks seem to have quite some purchasing power... Geeks use having the latest and greatest as a proxy for another measurement. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ Bravo.

Re: [slim] 802.11N Wireless Support
On the other hand, there is a penalty associated with mixing g and n clients on an n router: whenever it is communicating with the g client it drops down to g for all the n clients too. If you are actually streaming audio, this will mean that most of the time your network as a whole is operating on a g standard. You can avoid it by having two radios in your router of course, and connecting all the g devices to one of them. -- Wigster Wigster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14899 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77155 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Show wireless signal strength on display?
usch;533252 Wrote: I guess the OP meant show permanently, for example on the the MusicInfoSCR screensaver. I don't think this is possible, or is there a format string for WiFi strength? That's what I meant, yes. A pitty there isn't a format string available for Wifi signal strength. -- verypsb 2x Duet, 1x Boom, 1x Classic verypsb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] I preferred the devices slim!
I couldn't agree more : I really like the simple devices with VFD displays easily readable from a distance. I have a SB3 and a SB Boom and use an android phone w/ squeezecommander to control them, or the IR remote of course (and an harmony remote in the living room). I'm perfectly happy with them and I have absolutely no intention of moving to Radio or Touch... If I ever need a new Squeezebox I'll probably try to find a second hand Classic :-/ I really wish logitech could make a squeezebox 4 : An updated SB3 with a faster CPU to support 192Khz, more memory with more built-in codecs, auto uplink, wifi n, maybe smoother scrolling of the titles and so on... -- BlueScreenJunky BlueScreenJunky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77147 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
