Re: [slim] Music Folder
Happened to me once. Reinstalling SBS solved the problem. Don't forget to delete the playlist folder too. I could not really pinpoint the problem. I think one of the reason was disconnecting the external HDD where I kept all my music library. For some reason, SBS was not able to see any files in any folder even after HDD was reconnected. It happened only in Windows system though. After I switched to Linux, all my problems with SBS magically disappeared :-) -- gizek very good music > Transporter > Adcom GFP-750 > Citation II tube monoblocks > Proac Response D2; Cardas Neutral Reference all over gizek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34337 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85088 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I want to be able to "expand" a player into a scene as long as the player is part of the scene definition. In the same way I want to be able to expand a "scene" into a bigger "scene", for example first play on "bottom floor" and then expand into "whole house". Two individual "scenes" should be able to play music separately as long as they don't have overlapping players, although I'm not sure how common this is going to be unless you live in a mansion. More common, it should be possible to play separate music on a specific player at the same time as a scene (not including that player) is playing some other music, for example playing some music on the bedroom Radio on the upper floor at the same time as you play other music on the "bottom floor" scene. I don't think I have any need to stop playing music on an individual player which is part of a "scene" currently playing music. People might feel that it would be nice, but in a real world scenario you would probably just switch to another scene instead. For example, I'm playing music in "whole house" scene, if I want to stop music in the bedrooms on the upper floor I would now just select to limit the "whole house" music to the bottom floor by switching to the "bottom floor" scene. You can choose to make this really advanced but that's already what we got. At the moment we have full flexibility to do exactly what we want, the problem with the current solution is that it's too flexible so it gets more or less unusable. So my advice would be to: - It doesn't matter if it gets complex to configure it, because that's what you do once - It have to be really easy to use. I don't think you need a lot of choices during usage, possibly with the exception of the people that live in a mansion and have the area to really play music in a lot of zones simultaneously. - It doesn't matter if it disturbs music when I change scene but it's more important that it doesn't loose the playlist I want to continue playing. Maybe we are just talking about functionality to be able to move/expand the current playlist from a "player" or "scene" into another "scene" ? To be able to move the playlist, the logic in the background would be to do the correct syncing/unsyncing, but from a user perspective it would just be a "move playlist" operation. Still, if you want me to be honest, I'm not even sure how many people who have a need to play two different music streams on their system when a scene is playing. Most people would probably be very happy if they could just: - Play separate music on individual players OR - Play music on the active scene (where only one could be active at a specific time) But this might be different for all the iPeng users who live in a mansion and have a bit more rooms than I have in my apartment... pippin;606023 Wrote: > > You will also be able to say whether you want to also store volume > settings. > This is another thing that's never worked good for me when I have a mix of players where some players (Radio/Boom) have built-in speakers (where I definitely don't want to have the volume at 100%) and other players (Classic/Touch) are connected to an external amplifier (where I always want the player volume to be 100% since it's controlled by the amplifier).

Agree. I should probably clean that up.
As it is now I follow Apple's interface guidelines (HIG) which say
"don't show the scroll bar whenever there's an index bar.
I'm missing it, too, though so time to deviate from the

Hm. Here I do have conflicting requests.
Some people want more text (for longer titles), some want images.
I'll see, the image-thingy would be kind of a no-brainer since I did
already do one for iPad. Now on iPad there's much more space,

I want to counter one notion that is quite ubiquitous here, and that is
that sync scenes would make anything _simpler_. They will not.
Sync scenes are kind of simple to understand and to communicate things
("sync all group", "everything on first floor"). But they come at a
price:
1. You have to set them up. And here you need to make a lot of
decisions, too: Do I want to store volume settings, too? Do I want to
drop players that are not part of the group?
2. OK, now you've got them set up now you want to use them. Simple, ey?
Just select the group, right? But what do you actually expect to happen
then? Erland's suggestion was to use this as a "new target". That won't
work with the SB architecture, SBS can only target a player so you will
have to establish the sync setting or at least choose a player _before_
playing. If you do it before and we talk about 5 players you are in for
four 1s playback interruptions while the other players join...
OK, so you just use it as a sync setting, selecting a scene will
configure the sync settings of the players involved. Now what do you
play on them? What happens to the others? Do you have a definite master
(hard in the SB environment).
No, Sync Scenes might be cool (and looking at the poll they will
probably the first thing I do from the list) but they will _not_ make
life easier compared to iPeng's current solution.
Here's what I plan to do, though:
1. Setup: You will be able to save a currently active sync setting. You
will also be able to only use some of the current players and to exclude
others.
You will also be able to say whether you want to also store volume
settings.
You can only store _ONE_ group at a time (under one name). This is
important for the actual use.
2. Use: You can select a stored group. This will sync all the contained
players, unsync others if that was selected and set volume if that was
selected. Also, iPeng will ask which of the playlists involved you want
to use. Now you are in for your x playback interruptions...

[slim] First "bedroom" system
Earlier on this week I finally succumbed to the lure of the Squeezebox Touch, largely funded by monies received as Christmas and Birthday presents (I'm a January Capricorn). This left the SB3 (nee Classic), which has given sterling service for the last 4 years with no role to perform. This has led to the SB3 being donated to my 10 year old son's first bedroom system. Lucky lad - I could only dream of having such a good music source when I was his age. I managed to rustle up some stopgap powered PC speakers (methinks a T-Amp and maybe a pair of Richer Sounds clearance speakers beckon), and these were duly hooked up to the SB3 via the headphone output. To cut a long story short, we've been listening to The Beatles (he really likes The Beatles), Thin Lizzy, Bad Company and Neil Young (with and without Crazy Horse), and having a whale of a time. My son is like a dog with two tails - he doesn't know which one to wag. I'm just happy that he's happy. He's also got access to a pretty large and eclectic music collection - I introduced him to Led Zeppelin last month, and they went down very well. We've also had a laugh controlling it all from a network connected computer, and also from my Android running SmartPhone, running Squeeze Commander. So lots of food for thought there too. So thank you Slim Devices for devising the Squeezebox, and thanks Logitech for catching the ball and running with it - you've made two souls here very happy, and you have our gratitude.

I would prefer a "Search on" context menu for artists on the Biography
plugin, but if that isn't possible it would be nice with copy+paste.

It would be great with a solution where I could define sync
groups/scenes once and then use them in all interfaces. It doesn't have
to work in all interfaces from the start, but it would be great with a
solution which stored the sync groups/scenes centrally where also other
plugins/applets can access them.
I basically just want to:
1. Select where to play stuff
2. Select what to play
Should be two simple operations. I don't need to be able to sync
individual players, I want to define the sync groups I use in advance
and then just select a sync group and start playing music on it. I
realize it can get complicated when you allow a player to be part of
two sync groups but I think most people only need to:
- Select to play something on an individual player
- Select to play something in a predefined group of players
When I select to play something on a group of players, I basically want
all overlapping groups to stop playing music and instead start playing
music in the group I've selected. Individual players outside the
selected group that played music should of course continue to play the
previous music as long as they weren't part of the selected sync group.
If I select an individual player in a group and select to play something
else, it stops the music in the group and only plays the new stuff on
the individual player.
I think most people will have a fairly small set of groups. For
example:
- Whole house
- Bottom floor
- Upper floor
The issue I have with synchronization is that it really only gets
simple if you have players with built-in speakers. For players like the
Classic or Touch I still need to use a separate IR remote to turn on the
amplifier so it's never going to be as simple as I want. The only
solution to make it good with players without built-in speakers would
be if iPeng implemented some kind of multi room IR blaster
functionality. However, I suspect this is a bit outside the current
scope.
Still, I can't really say that synchronization is an important feature
for me personally.

Re: [slim] Confused about current products
Thanks to everyone for the detailed and helpful responses. I did indeed think the Receiver was not available separately, as it's not listed on the Logitech site, but if this is a temporary state of affairs, then OK. I might have been willing to get a single Duet (to provide the Controller) and then additional Receivers. But it does seems as if the Touch is the best for my purposes, especially if it's true that its DAC is high quality. If it's got better sound than a Receiver, it's worth the extra money, regardless of the Controller issue. I was also concerned that the Touch could _only_ be controlled through the touch interface--in one location I'd want to have it in a physically inaccessible area--but I now see that it does come with a plain controller, i.e. it doesn't require the separate expensive Controller. So I will think about using the Touch, perhaps in combination with my existing Squeezebox 3 (my SliMP3 we'll regard as a museum piece :-) ). In one location there will always be a computer, so there I might just use Softsqueeze with a USB-DAC. -- jest jest's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85124 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iPeng roadmap poll
I don't think I'm interested in any of the first four changes. They all seem like compromises to make things simpler for a novice user. I'm not a novice user, and I don't want to lose functionality. I do use both the iPhone and iPad iPeng versions. The New Main Screen for iPad is intruiging, but not knowing specifics, it's hard to root for it being first in line. I run a multi-room system with various sync'ing scenarios, so I'd have to think that the sync scene feature would be the most useful for me.

[slim] iPeng roadmap poll
OK, the main task for now - preparing a playback for iPeng - is done and waiting Apple's approval so I want to follow bluegaspode's example and ask users for opinions on a few new developments for iPeng. This will not be exclusive - I have a few other things I really find cool and that are to a large part already developed and that will definitely come, but I don't want to talk about these. But for some other aspects I would like to understand the priorities of my users. I'll also deliberately mix iPhone and iPad developments here since both require effort and if 10 people want something done on iPad it may be more important than 5 people wanting something on iPhone. So here it is, I will cluster things a bit: USER INTERFACE ON IPHONE There are a few items (for now, suggestions welcome) in this area, both centering around "making iPeng more simple". Generally, making things more simple usually comes at the price of making it less efficient to use or by dropping functionality so this would certainly be an option - but probably the default one. * New "Non-Swipe" User Interface for the "NowPlaying" screen on iPhone. Some people are confused with having to swipe to access the different "subpages" on the NowPlaying screen. The price for this will probably be to add new/other buttons (other ideas welcome) to the NowPlaying screen to bring up the player selection and the current playlist. CP would probably work like on SqueezePlay, player selection instead of the trash can. * New "SqueezePlay like" menu operation. This would drop the iPeng specifics in that tapping artwork would no longer play the album and there would no longer be "playback modes" but only SP's default action would be used. Oh, and "play shuffled" would fall away. Main drawback would be that without "Party Mode" there will be more actions doing "destructive play" by default and it will be harder to build playlists. * Main player controls permanently accessible. Even from the content menus. Sonos does this and sonos users seem to love it yet so far I thought this is a bad idea because it will inevitably take away space. Sonos drops the quick access "Tab Bar" items for it so you always have to go through the main menu and actually I believe this is probably the only way to really find enough space so my suggestion would include this, too. * Smaller and lower resolution (on Iphone 4) artwork. The bigger artwork used by iPeng comes at an initial performance penalty when you use slow servers. This goes away once the artwork has been loaded once and also it will probably go away with SBS 7.6 but right now it's there. Is this important to you? NEW MAIN SCREEN UI FOR IPAD OK, this will happen anyway since I was never happy with the overall look of that screen in iPeng for iPad but I would like to understand how to prioritize it. Will not give details other than that it's exciting and will look different between portrait and landscape modes :) SYNCHRONIZATION This is another one of the things I probably will do anyway, just want to understand how important it is to people. The idea is to have synchronization "scenes" that you can save and re-activate. This will make synchronization setup more effort (if dig into it you'll find there's quite a few decisions to take her) but after you've done that, selecting synchronization may be a bit more straightforward. It's not actually faster but it's easier to understand. @other developers: If you are reading this and if you are going to implement something like this, too, please let's talk. What I'm planning to do will work with several devices without requiring a plugin (but probably not on MySB; not that syncing makes much sense on MySB) and it would make so little sense to have different solutions for this, so that you will have to define your sync groups twice. My current plan is to just implement it and then to document how it works in a bug on bugs.slimdevices.com. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY If you are happy with iPeng looks like now and would prefer additional features instead, here's your chance to tell me what that would be. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85135 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Cannot play anything since 7.5.3
You may know the answer to your own question. Perhaps the OP does not. Perhaps, then, you could explain why he wouldn't. That might, perhaps, answer the question he posted, which might, perhaps, give some point to your response.
