[slim] how can i tell what file type is playing ect?

2010-09-22 Thread Builder Brad

does anyone know how I can tell what file type is playing, or get extra
information about the audio file listing in the Slimserver interface.

I have MP3 and Flac Files in my library, that are identical in terms of
their file labeling ect. 

On my old SB2 I used to be able to view the file source and file
details from the display, since switching over to a Duet I am relying
on my SC controller. or the web interface display.

My MP3s are stored in a different folder so even knowing the file
source would allow me to work out which file is playing.

From the Now Playing screen on the Controller, press and hold the
centre button, scroll down to More info.

On the web UI, click on the artwork top right, by the player controls.

Excellent update! UI is a greatly improved.

In the development plan, please add-in support for people with large
classical music collections.

Things like -

1) Allow album/artist/radio buttons to be configurable to list library
by GENRE and COMPOSER tags
2) In the now-playing display (standard and full screen), allocated
space for contents of COMPOSER, PERFORMER and BAND tags and display if
there.

Ah good point! I forgot I decided to run one of the nightly builds to
get the embedded build, and didnt upgrade to the release due to fears
of audio::scan incompatibilities. Also I was a bit confused if the
later 7.5.1 was the embedded branch or not.

It's a bit of a pain for us Marvell Orion Processor users that
Squeezebox does not provide compatible binaries, otherwise it would be

[slim] SB3 dropping off network

2010-09-22 Thread consciouspnm

My SB3 (Classic) used to run fine on the wireless network, then it
started stopping whilst it buffered so I ran a cable back to a 100Mb
switch and everything seemed fine again. Now, it loses contact with the
server i.e. the clock goes off when in standby.  If I try and connect
again by powering it up it fails.  If I remove the ethernet cable and
plug it back in, everything springs to life until it loses contact
again.

Where do I start looking for the cause?

But for the optimal solution, it needs to emulate the SqueezeBox audio

Hence it will still take some time...

Damn. 
My reference 'classical-music'-user doesn't have the artist tags, thats
why it worked so good for him.

Um - just curious - who is the artist anyway for classical music? Isn't
the whole orchestra playing ?
(Sorry for this dumb question, my experience with classical music is
limited to the one wedding song from the chapel I had to choose :D )

I wouldn't want to change the whole layout yet to allow more or other
lines.
If you decide that composer is generally more important than artist I
could very easily provide one option like 'prefer composer over artist'
or the like. 
Then everytime if the composer-tag is filled it would be used instead
of the artist. 
I wouldn't want to go further with customizing the NowPlaying screen
for now - all other information should be available on the context-menu
anyway.

Fair enough. TBH, given the number of 'right' ways of tagging classical
proposed on the 'ripping/tagging' forum you won't please everyone until
you have a layout editor for the now playing screen. (Bit like the
MusicInfoScreen plugin)

Isn't the whole orchestra playing ?

My preference is to put into ARTIST a concatenation of the soloist (if
there is one), orchestra/ensemble and conductor (if there is one).

Soloist gets named in PERFORMER and BAND is used for ensemble/orchestra
name.

Is it maybe because the icons in iPeng are just bigger (and thus seem
to be sharper) ?.
As said: scaling happens on the server - I don't have no influence on
it. If you used a program like 'SqueezePlay' or a Touch or a Radio
icons would look the same.

One idea: on the server one can influence the quality of images. 
There is an Option Settings-Advanced-Performance-Artwork
Resampling.
Maybe you changed that to 'faster, lower quality' ?

Re: [slim] How to change Boom presets from SqueezeBox Server?

2010-09-22 Thread unclemat

JJZolx;578145 Wrote: 
 I think you have the quick and dirty part backward.
 
 When the Boom was introduced, the six preset buttons were simply tied
 to the first six favorites.  That was quick and dirty.  If someone
 changes a preset at any Boom in the house, then they've also
 overwritten one of the favorites.
 
 When the Radio came out it was determined that _most_ people expect
 presets to behave like, well, the presets of a radio.  When Mom sets a
 preset on the radio in her Accord, it doesn't also change the preset in
 Dad's Explorer.  When Junior sets a radio preset on his bedroom boombox,
 it doesn't also change a preset on the stereo in Sissy's bedroom.
 
 So the tradeoff was having centralized presets that are set on all
 devices in the house vs. the flexibility to act like traditional radio
 presets and allow each device to have its own set. 

Your argument is week given the system offers NOTHING otherwise to
customize access to different the content for different users, like
e.g. separate libraries (yes, there are 3rd party plugins that try to
address that, but that's moot, plus they way they work is more of a
hack than a solution).

So the reason to single out presets to make them decentralized is not
consistent with the rest of the architecture and what's more they
changed and took away existing feature.

By QD I meant the omission of a web-UI .

Especially when they already have a working UI concept (no RD or focus
groups to mess it up ;) ), just copy  paste the UI used to manage
favorites, put one such UI under each player.
This UI of course sets presets instead favorites.
Add one tick box use favorites as presets for each player

[slim] Help! XM to Sirius migration

2010-09-22 Thread jschall

Help! Lost and confused!

Over the past 5 years, I have been subscribed to XM Radio Online, using
the various incarnations of the XM Radio Plugin by Neil Potter, as
discussed here:

http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76951page=3

The plugin, and my login to XM Radio Online, are working fine. But I
got an email saying that I would have to move over to Sirius:

As of August 19, 2010, your account will move to the SIRIUS Premium
Internet Radio platform. You must now sign on at sirius.com. This
change will not affect the programming you currently enjoy.

Go to www.sirius.com and click on the media player link at the top of
the page. Sign in with your current username (letters and numbers
only). Follow the forgot password directions to generate a new
password.

Ex. Old username john.sm...@yahoo.com becomes 'johnsmithyahoocom'

But when I try to login at the Sirius web site, they've never heard of
me. I can't enter my email/userid from XMRO, even without the symbols
(schallenbergjeffgmailcom) - it's too long to enter into the form.

I called the Sirius (Canada) Customer Services line, but she didn't
know anything about an online service.

How can I migrate my XM service to Sirius without losing my
subscription and my programming?

And as a corollary, how can I install the Sirius plugin? It is enabled
in the plugins page of SBS web interface, but it doesn't show up in the
Apps Gallery (possibly because I'm in Canada, eh?).

- Jeff

iPengs artwort for albums is just so big, because typically its

What do others think ?
Trade number of visible albums against bigger album art ? Be aware that

 Trade number of visible albums against bigger album art ? Be aware that

Even iPeng's artwork on the small screen is bigger than yours on the

 Now yes, you can see the Lyrics tag in the LH column of SqueezeCenter
 player page, but only as a part-column window; on a small screen (such
 as an eeePC) all you get is a miserly three lines.
 
 (By the way: I approve your choice of the Perahia Beethoven sonatas - a
 superb CD!)

A netbook is maybe the right thing to view libretti on. I made my Now
Playing screen for the controller; its tiny screen is not suited to
show a libretto on, IMHO. Are you using the built-in lyrics view? There
are some plug-ins around, that may work better for you. I have no
experience with them myself, though.

The interpretation from Perahia is indeed superb. But also the
recording is excellent. Very natural sounding piano. I know from my
audio days way back that pianos (and cembalos) are the most difficult
instruments to record.

[slim] Players can't see DHCP

2010-09-22 Thread thurstongarden

I am no network buff, and could do with some help.

Since recently being made to change routers by AOL to allegedly rectify
my dreadful broadband download speed, my controller and my sbradio can't
connect to squeezebox server.

Both say they can't find a DHCP address for the network. They still
seem to be kind of connected but certainly can't connect to any radio
streams, live or listen again.

The router thing might just be coincidence - I don't really know what
DHCP is (IP address thingy?) but AOL are of no help whatsoever. Oddly
though my HTC Hero connects fine to the wireless network.

Does anyone have any ideas, cos this is now driving me daft.

Ta.

I do believe you. 
Still I'm not feeling too wrong right now about using the same
pictures, that also a Squeezebox Touch uses (and where I didn't read
any complain yet ever on this forum).

So the question remains: who else cares for bigger or sharper album art
in the menu (and who doesn't care to have a balance :D).

Re: [slim] Players can't see DHCP

2010-09-22 Thread Soulkeeper

DHCP is the service that hands out IP addresses to units that ask for
it.

Try pulling the plug on the router and the Radio. Turn the Controller
off. Power up the router again, then turn on the Squeezeboxen, and see
if that helps.

This big red square is a short server disconnect.

Re: [slim] How to change Boom presets from SqueezeBox Server?

2010-09-22 Thread unclemat

From what I've read they are going further the wrong way by implementing
menu item hiding for SqueezeOS based players on the players themselves.
Again, no way to control that from the web UI or in a centralized
manner.

I bought my SB3 to sidestep the problems of streaming via an XP box.

You can now get a small format PC running Windows 7 for the same price
or less that an SB Touch - it will handle video too.

I don't suppose I shall buy another Squeezebox.
