Re: [slim] Digital output level for Duet and Touch
There is no "level" in the conventional sense. There is just the bitstream - the sample value numbers ripped from the CD. At max vol (and no replaygain) all units simply send the numbers. The DAC interprets the numbers. level and replaygain simply alter the value of the numbers. So yes they will be identical "level" into the same DAC - and the cable is irrelevant. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Update: #2 is not going to happen because the changes in the UI are too big for a universal app, the unified approach I had simply is not good enough. Local caching of "all relevant information" doesn't necessarily speed up things, I'll cache more in the future - with both iPeng versions - but speed really depends on your server.

Are you looking for really great sound quality ?
Is the price of this lightweight computer important ?
Do you won't be able to see what's playing when you are in the lounge
?
Do you want to be able to change what's playing when you are in the
lounge without the need for a separate keyboard in the lounge ?
If the answer is yes on all these questions, I think you can forget the
idea of an embedded Atom or ARM machine. What you need is either is one
of three options:
Option 1:
Get a commercial network music player such as a Sonos solution or a
Squeezebox. Sonos might cause you less setup/maintenance trouble while
a Squeezebox will have the advantage when looking at price, features
and sound quality.
Option 2:
Get an iPod, iPad or some other portable device with music locally
stored on the device and a docking station connected to the
amplifier/speakers where you put it when you like to listen to music.
You would probably have to sync it with the bedroom computer when you
want to add new music, at least in the case where you select and Apple
product. The advantage with this solution is that you will also get a
portable player that can be used when you leave your home.
Option 3:
Get a simple UPnP based network music players, they are usually cheaper
than Squeezebox, Sonos and similar more advanced solutions and they
usually doesn't produce the same sound quality and library browsing
features. Still, it might be an option if the price is more important
than everything else.
Sure, you can build your own Atom or ARM based device if you think
that's fun but I bet it's going to be more expensive and won't produce
as good sound quality as the above options. However, if you answered No
on one of the questions above, an Atom/ARM solution might be worth
considering.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, the main advantage of streaming
compared to NFS and similar protocols is if you like to synchronize
audio on multiple players.

Yes, a multiple player setup, by nature, requires some sort of 'client/server' protocol. NFS and SMB are going to require a lot more work on the client side: neither addresses the database itself. I see no benefit to such a process other than moving some work from userspace to kernel space.. but the code to serve files is actually HTTP: which is well understood and easy to implement... so whether a file is moved via nfsd or an http socket really makes no difference.

If that is truly all you care about: the Squeezeboxes make HTTP requests for files that are sent via HTTP.

If you have s single player and think you can find an off the shelf ARM embedded machine with decent sound output, then go for it. If, however, you ever add a second player.. your method would not scale, It would not allow syncronizing the players, you would have to hobble together your own UI (or have to use a netbook as a remote...) Squeezeboxes don't have that scaling problem. They scale very well, they can be synchronized or not. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80521 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Please discover that the web interface's speed is a function of the SBS machine's speed and a "native GUI client" is available. Your quote "allow for updating and rebuilding, access only the media by itself from the server but keep everything else local" is excactly how SBS works. I have several different copies of SBS running that point to the same music (or sub-sets of the same music.) If you are not happy with performance, try a faster machine or an older machine running Vortexbox that points to the same "media by itself" and isn't burdened by other tasks.

[slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
Hi guys ! Today is the time to officially announce the availability of 'SqueezePad' - your iPad App to control your SqueezeBoxen from the iPad. Avaible on the iTunes Store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/squeezepad/id380003002 This version 1.1.0 gives you the following features: - switch players instantly - see cover art of the currently playing song for each player - control volume and play/pause of each device - skip or rewind the current song - navigate through the menus of the player - its the 'original' menus as you already know from your devices, so you'll find your way instantly - swiping right gets you up in the menu hierarchy - long touch on the title brings you back to the home menu - touching the album art icon starts playing the album The next version 1.2.0 is finished already by the way. Depending on the review speed of Apple soon you'll see an update with the following enhancements: - long touch a menu-item brings up the context menu (if available) - this allows you for instance to put songs/albums to the end of the current playlist - long touch the big album art on the right brings up the context menu for the current playlist item - album and songlist now have an index for faster navigation - you can see the current playlist for the current player under 'my music' (it's the playlist menu as known from the Squeezebox-Touch) By the way: this very first week you'll get the App in the iTunes Store for a special 'Early Adopter' price. I did my best at testing everything thorougly but of course I can't foresee the huge amount of environments where Squeezeboxen are operated. Fixing bugs as fast as possible will be my highest priority! -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

I'm not sure if there is some mail problem but the reason you can't
access the LuaFileSystem page is baecause it doesn't exist yet. Links
to non existing pages tries to open them in edit mode which requires a
user with confirmed e-mail.
Make sure the mail isn't lost as a spam mail, automatically generated

Growing up I had the job of occasionally fixing the TV remote which would fail in the same way. The difference was that the emitter was a a small speaker rather than an IR emitter.

Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Hi all I just got myself a Receiver today to add to my existing SqueezeCenter Setup consisting of an Synology DS-107+ running the SB Server, a SB3 and SB Boom. For setting up the brand new Receiver I connected (by wire) the laptop running Net-UDAP (on Kubuntu 10.04) and the receiver to a spare router. So they are on the same subnet. The receiver seems to be in init mode with the red light flashing slowly. But running discover in Net::UDAP doesn't discover the device. Actually nothing at all seems to happen. I immediately get a new line with the UDAP> prompt. List shows an empty list. As I'm running (K)ubuntu there shouldn't be a firewall in the way. I didn't find a way to test if the port 17784 is really open. netstat shows the port like this udp0 0 0.0.0.0:17784 0.0.0.0:* Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Well, it's just my opinion that the new schema isn't going to happen. It certainly seems very unlikely at this point. Nobody at Logitch has said so yet - maybe someone still has some hope that it can be done at some point in the future. They do occasionally review old bugs and re-target and re-prioritize them, but it doesn't happen terribly often. Most often when a new software release is put out, which is only a couple times a year and now likely to become less often unless a new SB product is released that requires additions to the server. The trouble with the 86 open bugs that have been lumped into the new schema work is that they're unlikely to be looked at. > However, getting some of the smaller bugs reopened and fixed should be > acheivable ?? > > The 'Year' issue wouldn't be top of the list, and may not even make the > cut.

Re: [slim] Remote dead on my Classic
Schizophonic, Have you tried calling Logitech support about the problem. Many people here, including myself, have called them and asked about replacing the remote and asking how they can purchase one since they are no longer shown on the Logitech website. If you are nice enough, sound contrite and just ask how you can control your SB Classic without a remote they will generally send you one free as a "one time" consideration. But you may have to beg and plead since they are no longer being made and are running out of them; I would assume that they would need to keep a certain number for SBs that are still under warranty.

Re: [slim] Why can't I play every song from 1984...
Jim, Maybe off-topic but .. Since the new schema is not going to happen then shouldn't all 'deferred' bugs be revisited and if suitable, made live for fixing. 'Suitable' is arguable, and probably should be 'set' by Logitech. Clearly we can't expect the new schema by 'stealth' so difficult problems and significnat new features would not be suitable. However, getting some of the smaller bugs reopened and fixed should be acheivable ?? The 'Year' issue wouldn't be top of the list, and may not even make the cut.
