Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] new features on iPad: SqueezePad 1.8.0 hits the store!
SqueezePad 1.8.1 has been released to the AppStore. It fixes two bugs, that only very few users realized at all: - SqueezePad tried to render big artwork in the context menu, this has been removed - a small number of people upgrading to 1.8.0 might have faced a crash when opening the player window. This only happened when users had an advanced networking setup where the server autodetection did not work. -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.

[slim] Possible to have different music for different players?
Hi, As subject says. I wan't to get my oldest son a player like the radio. And this is where my troubles start. I don't want some of my music to be visible on his player.

[slim] No sound from players
Help. I have yet again been promted to update the firmware which I have done, but i was unable to connect, so I did a fresh reinstall from mysqueezebox.com. The good news is that all my missing playlists have returned (they were lost with the last update!) but i cannot get any sound from any of my players (radio, transporter, squeezeplay). I can access my music and see the track, however when i press play it says now playing but no sound. Whats interesting is that the tracking bar does not seem to be moving so its as if the track has not actually started. This is a new one for me so any help appreciated. -- paul44birch paul44birch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89737 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
bluegaspode;650736 Wrote: Yes Controller commands first go to the server, which sends them back (if needed) to the player. So there is just an indirect connection between SqueezeCommander and SqueezePlayer. So it might be that the 'pause' command can get lost on the way back or forth. But this is a really small packet so a slow network (working) connection shouldn't be a big problem. As said: I rather think that SqueezePlayer only accepts a 'pause' when it's in the playing state (as buffering right now is implemented as an (automatic) pause - so I guess an explicit pause is just ignored). Yes. Have you reproduced? After a few more tests, I think that the problem appears if the buffer goes empty while playback regardless of why. Then as soon as a piece of data is written on it, that piece is immediately consumed for playback leaving the buffer empty again. And there it seems to be stuck in that loop showing buffering/playing one second each approx with small percentages shown. When playing I copied large files across the WLAN to put load on it, and then the player kept stuttering in the loop even though network capacity later had returned. Even in HSPA, there can be small periods with low throughput. If that is enough for the player to empty its buffer, there we go again. Stuck there even though network is improved. It was now a while ago, but I have seen it also when I connect to an internet radio station where the data from the stream initially appears low. That happened mostly with shoutcast streams. If I am on a mobile network, then if I press | or | it sometimes happen as well. If the buffer is allowed to fill up slightly more before playing, then that might help (in addition to what you write in your comment)? Or what do you think? Or if the user could do some configuration of a threshold value here if this is device-dependent. It is very hard to give exact instructions to reproduce since it all depends on network conditions. And probably on my device as well.

Re: [slim] What External Harddrive(s) used 4 CD storage
For my work office setup, which is software only (SBS+SqueezeSlave), I use a 250 GB WD Passport (USB2). Used that setup for the last 2½ years; but today I have bought a 1 GB Passport (USB3) as space was running low. I choose the Passport as it fit 2 parameters: 1. small 2½ 2. as it does not need an external powersupply. Years ago I bought a cabinet with external PSU for 3,5 IDE harddrives. Granted 2½ years ago it would have been cheaper to buy a big IDE drive and use that; but it is noisy and have a lumb of a PSU. -- slate Main: Receiver (Audiocom) - Beresford Caiman+ (Gatorized) - Carver A-500x - BW 704 Office: Receiver - Luxman L-210 - Stax SR84 Pro/Superlux HD668B Server: Zotac IONITX-A, 4 GB, 1 TB WD EADS, Win7 w. 7.6 (SQLite w.

OK I here i disagree sligthly :) I'm a bit ludite here i like 3,5 enclosures with a lump of PSU just don't trust any laptop derived tech. And to op. Yes running your own server is superior to use tan USB drive directly to the PC . SBS will probably perform much better regardless of drive, at least compared to use directly to the Touch it's not that critical anymore. There are other criteria here . Quality ? don't have extensive insights the computer pros's on this forum have much more knowledge than me . And aesthetics nice looking and no external psu is important for some people. But the general consensus is to use a good backup strategy so you are looking for 2 drives one to use and =one for backup(s) . This is a fact eventually all hard-drives fail or something else fails and corrupt the data, given enough time this will happen.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
regardless of buffering techniques: if the (average) download rate is too slow for the content to be streamed one will get into the playing/buffering cycle in any case. I think it wouldn't matter if the cycle is each second or every 5 seconds. It annoys the user and one just cannot stream if the bandwidth is not high enough. No fancy technique will circumvent it. With buffer sizes one can only manage to accomodate for short variations of bandwidth. Right now SqueezePlayer uses the following buffer sizes: - audiobuffer: 1,7MB (44100 * 2 /*channel*/* 2 /*bytes*/* 10 /*seconds*/ ) - download-buffer: 1MB (this will be 1min of 128kB/sec mp3) So when buffers are filled, SqueezePad can play up to 1minute of 128kB/sec mp3 when the bandwidth goes down. 1 minute ! On Android one cannot use larger buffers, as Apps are very restricted by the OS regarding memory allocations. But actually these are really huge buffers already: if something does not play with these buffers, then the bandwidth is just not high enough or there are insane variations in the download speed. After a few more tests, I think that the problem appears if the buffer goes empty while playback regardless of why. Then as soon as a piece of data is written on it, that piece is immediately consumed for playback leaving the buffer empty again. When SqueezePlayer faces a buffer underrun, it typically waits for 391680 bytes in the audiobuffer to be filled again (this is 2 seconds with 2channel 44kHz). For FLAC files it even waits 100 bytes (5seconds at 44kHz). IF the stream is downloading fast enough this should be enough of a headstart, to allow for robust streaming. If not - well - as said - not technique will help then in my opinion. -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.

Re: [slim] Possible to have different music for different players?
I haven't used MultiLibrary yet but I believe you define library delineators based on the directory structure. I'd guess that with CustomBrowse you could probably also do it on a tag basis. -- paulster Receiver stuck at blue LED state after reboot?
