Thought this was interesting: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704302304575214433053915188.html Google Inc. is planning to introduce Android-based television software to developers at an event in May, according to people familiar with the matter. The technology—designed to open set-top boxes, TVs and other devices to more content from the Internet—is attracting interest from partners that include Sony Corp., Intel Corp. and Logitech International SA, which are expected to offer products that support the software, these people said. None have so far discussed the efforts publicly... I can imagine an Adroid based device running nicely as SqueezeBox, including TV etc. Just pure speculation on my part though :) -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78230 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] HELP! Terminally (?) sick squeezebox 3
Looks like my beloved Logitech SB3 is dying, if not already dead. It's been a bit temperamental for a while, where if you move it, it seems to turn itself off and then back on. A good look at the power connector showed no problems, so I suspected some sort of bad joint/connection deeper in the unit, but I've been loathe to open it up without good need. Yesterday may have provided that good need. I was playing some music at low (digital) volume, 50% on the amp, when the SB3 went wild. Music changed to static/electronic screaming, and volume went to at least 100%. It was *way* louder than anything I've heard before. By the time I'd turned it off it'd managed to blow a tweeter in one of my speakers :( I've been running it since (on high digital, low amp volumes) and it's done it again a couple of times, and also when turning it on there has been a steady electronic tone a couple of times too. Completely disconnecting the power has been the only way to fix these problems. The display continues to work fine, and shows the graphic equaliser for what I suspect is the music it should be playing, rather than the noise. Wireless and ethernet remote control etc all seem fine, right up to the point of failure. What are my options these days for repair or replacement? A quick read here seems to indicate that Logitech won't even repair these now; this makes me VERY sad, as the VFD was probably the main reason I bought the SB3, and I now use it extensively for information displays. Is it really not possible to get it repaired? If not officially, are there any reputable 3rd parties that can take on this kind of problem, and at what kind of cost? Failing that, what are the current options for replacement? Looks like the only model in the range with a display is the Touch ... which is LCD, so nowhere near the clarity. Are there any retailers out there with new stock of the VFD model SB3 still?

Have you tried a factory/ xilinx reset of the unit? Sorry to hear that it's malfunction has managed to blow a tweeter for you.

[slim] SB vs. server decoding and other conundrums...
Just got my SB Touch (and love it) and was excited to play some hi-res files through it. Like many others I experienced some stuttering when beginning to play 24/96 flac files and looking into the issue I came up scratching my head about a few things: - By default flac files are decoded by the SB. Apparently that can be changed via the file type settings in the server configuration page. But those options leave me a bit confused (and I couldn't come up with a wiki page explaining those). Under FLAC the following is set: FLAC - Native (Native/Disabled) MP3 - Disabled (field greyed-out) PCM - flac (flac/Disabled) So, I'm not sure what the different fields are for and what kind of effect I would see when selecting Disabled. And how do I turn on server-side decoding via this dialog? - I also played some 24/192 files. What happens to those, as the Touch only plays 24/96 natively? Are they downsampled to 24/96 or to 16/44.1? Is there any way to check what bit-depth/sample rate is actually playing through the Touch?

[slim] Playlist Macro URL Commands - Maybe Kidsplay?
Hi, I'm VERY close to getting streaming radio from my Denon 3808 receiver via the WaveInput plugin to go through the Squeezeboxen in the house. I found a very simple way to control the Denon receiver via HTTP commands which I picked out of their web pages served by the internal web server. For instance, these commands start Zone 2 and change the radio station to preset A4: http://192.168.1.6/ZONE2/s_zone2.asp?radioPower2=ON http://192.168.1.6/ZONE2/TUNER/s_TunerPreset.asp?listPreset=A4 What I need is a way to send these commands to the tuner, and then fire up the WaveInput plugin. I manually created an M3U playlist with the two commands and then the wavein:0. This ALMOST works - but I need to hit next track on the remote to go from what the squeezebox thinks is three separate tracks. When I cycle through, it does turn on Zone two and changes the radio station and then streams it, so it works in this regard. Is there a way to do this without the next track button? I'm going to explore Kidsplay plugin to see if that does what I need. Maybe I should look into the M3U format a bit more (EXTINF, etc.).

Re: [slim] Playlist Macro URL Commands - Maybe Kidsplay?
We (3rd party folks) have talked a few times about making a cli protocol handler so you could have an .M3U with entries like squeezecli://player=00%3A04%3A20%3A11%3A22%3A33p0=buttonp1=fwd to execute commands when you select a playlist, but there are some inherent risks there. You don't want to open an HTTP address that delivers an M3U with squeezecli: URLs that do things you don't want, like change your Music Directory setting. If you're using an infrared remote, then KidsPlay can definitely get you most of the way there, maybe all the way there. But you haven't said how you'd like to kick this all off, which would be a big factor. Maybe another feature for KidsPlay would do it. Please install KidsPlay and take a look at the 'kidsplayexec' documentation on the KidsPlay global settings page. What if there was a KidsPlay protocol handler such that you could have a URL in your M3U like kidsplaymacro://player=00%3A04%3A20%3A11%3A22%3A33secret=123456type=JVCbutton=0 which, if the secret value matched that for your server (and you had done the other things to enable kidsplayexec), would execute the KidsPlay macro you programmed for JVC button 0? Or maybe this should be a completely new plugin that would take URLs like squeezecli://player=00%3A04%3A20%3A11%3A22%3A33secret=123456p0=buttonp1=fwd -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78259 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB vs. server decoding and other conundrums...
pipetman;543049 Wrote: Just got my SB Touch (and love it) and was excited to play some hi-res files through it. Like many others I experienced some stuttering when beginning to play 24/96 flac files and looking into the issue I came up scratching my head about a few things: - By default flac files are decoded by the SB. Apparently that can be changed via the file type settings in the server configuration page. But those options leave me a bit confused (and I couldn't come up with a wiki page explaining those). Under FLAC the following is set: FLAC - Native (Native/Disabled) MP3 - Disabled (field greyed-out) PCM - flac (flac/Disabled) So, I'm not sure what the different fields are for and what kind of effect I would see when selecting Disabled. And how do I turn on server-side decoding via this dialog? - I also played some 24/192 files. What happens to those, as the Touch only plays 24/96 natively? Are they downsampled to 24/96 or to 16/44.1? Is there any way to check what bit-depth/sample rate is actually playing through the Touch? Thanks! It's simple...and complicated. By default, FLAC is sent as FLAC to the Touch and decoded there - that's the FLAC/Native entry If you set FLAC/Disabled then one of the other entries will be used (MP3 or PCM) If PCM is enabled that will be used (FLAC converted to PCM on the server and sent as PCM to the Touch). If PCM and FLAC are both disabled, FLAC is converted to MP3 via LAME (which needs to be installed specially - that's why it's greyed-out on your setup at the moment). If all 3 are disabled nothing will play! If you play a 24/192 flac, it is converted via SOX on the server to 24/96 flac (176.4 is converted to 88.2) - you can't change this directly via Settings, it requires editing of the custom-convert.conf file. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
