While we have good numbers for the forums (visitors, postings etc.) helping us prove the importance of that system, we don't have this data for the wiki. It's therefore even more important wiki provides a good level of quality. > I understand that you and the other developers will try to do > everything you can to avoid that anything happens with these sites, I'm > just worried that no one from Logitech management seems to care, at > least they don't show that they care in the public.

I have two problems: 1. from the Logitech.dk/com site I am unable to find these forums. At some point (a few months ago) I found "another" squeezebox forum. Probably it was just a subforum under logitech's main forum. But I'm not even able to browse to that now. The link may exist, but I can find it, even when I know what I am looking for. 2. I can't find the beta software. Going through logitechsqueezebox.com you can through a step where you could go to the beta-stuff, including changelog etc. That step is not there when coming through logitech.dk/com -- Muele BR Mogens 2 Radios (1 battery), 2 Controllers, 2 Receivers, 1 Squeezeplay.

Re: [slim] Can we make a music scheduler?
I wonder if it would be possible to use the alarm handling to solve this. If you only want a simple scheduling, starting it at a specified time and always play for 2 hours, it should work to setup an alarm and set the "Alarm Timeout (in minutes)" parameter to 120 minutes. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to set different timeouts for different alarms. If you want more advanced scheduler possibilities, you probably need to use one of the suggestions from Michael. Note, if you are using Squeezebox Touch or Radio, you probably don't want to use the alarm functionality because those devices have a fallback alarm that's triggered now and then when there is a short communication problem with the server or when the clocks aren't completely synchronized. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79274 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You need to set it for all players. You should be able to set your crossfade seettings there. Put it on smart cross fade will cross fade songs from different albums but will keep the gaps as per the original on songs from the same album. This is preferable if you play songs from live albums or DJ mixes as in these the music continues smoothly from one track to the next.

First off, apologies if this is covered (fearful that this may have been exhaustively covered and I just didn't find the threads?) but I HAVE been searching up down and backwards for posts here and elsewhere on the web... I've got an SB3 and a Boom running wireless off a Zyxel router.

By the time I'm back up and running the top of the hour NPR newscast on kcrw is over and done... I was guessing this was static IP/DHCP setting issue? Timing out after 1440 minutes etc? Trying it both ways now (static, dynamic) doesn't seem to make any difference. The weirdness is nothing changed in my setup to bring this about. Technically I'm pretty modest, but not totally green either. And like I said, this setup worked for over a year with no troubles til fairly recently.

[slim] Playlists
As a recent SB Touch owner I've been very happy with things generally but I appear to have hit a bit of a stumbling block. Basically I thought it was a good idea to make life eay for my wife to find her own music from the Touch menu. A look at the guide came up with two possibilities - Favourites or Playlists. Playlists seemed the more flexible solution so using the Touch screen and remote I created a custom playlist of my wife's CDs. Problem was that I noticed that for some strange reason I had a couple of hundred playlists already present! I don't know how they got there - it appears that my music collection had .cue, .m3u and .m3u8 files in them and that squeeze server automatically added them to my playlists. Deleting them wasn't easy either I tried searching for the files direcly off the server and then deleting them but for some reason they remained in the memory of the sb server. Even forcing the server to rescan the playlists didn't work. In the end I had to manaully delete them using the web front end to the SB server. A very tedious process - why is there there not east way to delete a number of unwanted playlists. Even after doing all this, I don't have an ideal solution - when you go into Now Playing > Playlists > Name the tracks not the albums are listed. It seems that maybe playlists are not the ideal way for my wife to find her albums.

As you suggests, the bugzilla and svn repossitory are of course going to remain, but they could be closed for community access. Chris has already earlier mentioned that the idea of closing bugzilla has been discussed within Logitech. I'm mostly worried about the forum and wiki, especially if something happens with the servers unintentionally and someone decides that it's not cost effective to fix the problem. The fact that there doesn't seem to be any link to them from the official Logitech pages indicates to me that the commitment to keep these pages available in the future isn't too high. It kind of seems like Logitech might want to direct new users to http://forums.logitech.com instead. It could of course also just be that all the links haven't been added yet. I understand that you and the other developers will try to do everything you can to avoid that anything happens with these sites, I'm just worried that no one from Logitech management seems to care, at least they don't show that they care in the public. Yes, I understand that Logitech is a big corporation and it might be unreasonable that the management spend time announcing their strategy regarding the community, but it still worries me a bit. If your management would be a little visible on these forums, all these worries and rumors could be easily avoided. I think neither me or Peter is about to panic yet, so far we are just thinking about what options we have to make 100% sure that the valuable information on the forums and wiki will be available in the future even if Logitech decides to decrease their involvement in the community. It should be said, that I've no indication that Logitech is about to decrease their involvement in the community besides the fact that there are less Logitech resources posting in the forum today than a year ago. I understand that the reason for this is mainly(only?) caused by the fact that their are less Logitech employees working with Squeezebox today than a year ago.

Hopefully that won't happen. Hopefully nobody will seek to have gmane destroy their archive, etc. But I could imagine senior Logitech staff thinking the old SD sites weren't cost effective & shutting them down. Many folks have pointed out the deficiencies of the reviews of Touch. I don't think I saw any reviews that talked about the availability of applets and SBS plugins. This suggests that the media kit doesn't mention them. Logitechsqueezebox.com linked to info about using and building extensions, and now it's gone. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to wonder if Logitech senior staff are considering shutting/locking down these old SD-branded sites, and to make some effort to try to minimize the affect of such a (possible, hopefully unlikely) action. Or similar fates like this forums server dying and Logitech deciding not to replace it even if y'all do have good data backups. I really hope your optimism is right, especially as I'm unlikely to do anything for a few days (at least!). :-) -- 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=79234 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The problem has reoccurred again, and lately it has been almost impossible to recover it. Now I have given up and skipped running through the SB server. When I run over mysqueezebox.com with the favourite there (/#slim:noscan=1) it works perfectly, except that I do not get the cover image displayed. I can live with that though. But I have one limitation when running via mysqueezebox.com: when I try to synchronize my two receivers, either one of them is silent or both of them. Is it related to the #slim:noscan=1 switch? Does anybody know a workaround? (When I synchronize internet radio via mysqueezebox.com I get sound from both receivers.) /Erik -- Erik L Erik L's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37356 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

I had to add port 8124 there in order to get DSBridge to work. Furthermore, if you run via the SB Sever, then it seems you need to have it running on the same machine as you play Spotify. In case you want to run on another machine, turn off SB Server and connect to mysqueezebox.com instead and define the Spotify favourite there instead, as has been described in this thread before.

[slim] Can we make a music scheduler?
We have installed music squeezeboxes on a hotel, but they are requesting for a software so that the music will only play on such time frame. Like a music scheduler for the streaming music.

[slim] Fixed Volume Causes Loud Sound when Music is Paused etc.
A strange issue suddenly occurred today: If I pause the music on one of my SB3 (wired) or if I switch that SBS off, a loud sound, a tone, is heard. If that player is synced to another player (SBR wirelss), the tone is heard also with that player. The SB3 in question has the option to use fixed (100%) volume set and is connected to the amp via an optical cable. The synced SBR has adjustable volume and is connected to its amp via rca cables. If I set the volume to be adjustable on the SB3 in question (but keep the volume at 100%) the issue is gone; no tone is heard. I have another SB3 (wireless, connected to its pre amp via optical cable) and just to test I set the volume to fixed for that player, but the issue did not occur. I use latest SBS 7.5.1 (r30836) on Win XP. Any ideas what is suddenly wrong and what to do about it? If I have to keep the volume adjustable but remember to always set it to 100%, will the output (via optical cable) to the amp/dac still be bit perfect? -- vagskal 2 x SB3 (wired), Receiver (wireless), Boom (wireless), Controller, iPeng on iPod Touch, muso on remote computer running Win 7 | 7.5.1 on Win XP vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79272 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

m1abrams;551259 Wrote: > Explain how Full-duplex devices do not talk on the same medium when > talking to each other? I think you might be confusing things. That's the difference between a hub and a switch. A hub connects physically connected devices on a shared medium and collision domain. A switch establishes a point to point connection between physically connected devices and uses dedicated RX/TX pairs - no paket collisions. It uses a fast switch engine and buffers. -- jo-wie 2 * Classic, 1 * Boom, SC 7.5.1 auf GigaByte STA/C mit VIA C7 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 250 GB 2,5" HD, Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 LTS, CD -> FLAC = dbpoweramp, Mix MusicIP, Router AVM Fritz 3270 last.fm/user/jo-wie jo-wie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17952 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79140 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
