It likely is connecting to MySB (though you may not want too), there was a bug where the SB3 would get a blank screen when getting an update from MySB. Connecting to MySB will force an update to 7.6.1, connecting back to your SBS will force a downgrade to 7.5.2 When connecting SB3 to MySB try pressing & holding the Brightness button to accept the update. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

make sure the musicIP server is up and running before SBS is started. Otherwise SBS does not load the MIP plugin. In simple terms, verify the MIP server responds on localhost:10002 with your browser.

Re: [slim] How to make musicIP work
Hi epoch1970 and thanks for the tip. As I am not too technical please bear with me. Having istalled MusicIP i now have a desktop icon for it. I have therefore stopped SBS and opened MusicIP via the desktop icon. I have then restarted SBS. Unfortunatelly I am still unable to see or use musicIP as there is no reference to it against any albums or tracks.

Re: [slim] How to make musicIP work
I see. What you want is running the "MIP headless" thing, that is a Java server that has a user interface through a web browser. SBS interacts with this server to generate the playlists, it must be running. I meant checking this server was running by pointing your browser to http://localhost:10002 I remember I was pretty peeved with the documentation when I tried setting up MIP. I don't use sugarcube, only MIP and the standard SBS plugin. But I think this page: http://www.spicefly.com/squeezeboxmip/28-mipheadless7.html can help you in getting a MIP server to run and respond on port 10002. I use a linux machine so I can't hand you my particular setup as an example. Words of advice for the next steps: 1) analysis; - In the slimdevices wiki page there is a case for using "genpuid" to analyze files. genpuid can archive its findings within the tags of music files, which seems a good idea since analysis is such a long process. I'd recommend against this. I had genpuid destroy some of my tags, and also version issues between MIP and genpuid. Just leave genpuid alone, go to http://localhost:10002, enter the path to your music files and have MIP discover and analyse the files. There is one thing you might want to do: specify the location for the MIP database (in mmm.ini), and backup that file from time to time. - Moving files around means analysis must be performed again (since archiving is risky). You'd better be pleased with your file hierarchy beforehand. - Re-analysis of moved files means the MIP DB will show a duplicate. There is a sorry way of removing duplicates (or deleted files) using MIPs web interface. I think it entails clicking "add music" (sic) and then "refresh songs". Or the other way around. The Total Songs figure should decrease in the end. (The brute force way is to remove the MIP database file.) 2) integration with SBS: - In the standard plugin preferences, you have the choice using the standard MIP plugin to import only signature data into SBS and keep the rest of the meta data as seen from the SBS scanner, or to import all meta data from MIP and disregard the SBS scanner. I use the 1st option, that is I mostly rely on SBS. It is faster. Also, there were issues with file path using accented characters in the past, and a full import of MIP data left many files out in my case. I don't know if the issue is still there (SBS 7.6 has improved things I think), but have a look at the SBS server log when importing. If it fails to find files with funny characters, the workaround is to use plain 7-bit ascii instead for the file names. Takes a bit of time but you'd need to do it once only. - In the standard SBS plugin preferences, you'll see settings like mix duration that are equivalent to some preferences you can set in mmm.ini or through the web interface of MIP Mix Settings under localhost:10002. The SBS settings *override* whatever you think you've defined within MIP. In mmm.ini I only care for the path of the database. In the ugly web interface of MIP I only care for the "add music", "refresh songs" and "start validation" buttons. And since MIP analysis is so slow, and you want to run a "clear and rescan" from SBS each time to make sure all is well, I'd suggest working on a very small test library until you see it works well. All in all MIP works and SBS does all it can. But nevertheless MIP is closed, abandoned software so you need to learn its quirks and work around it. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.6 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Find cover art by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat, Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89962 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Streaming: monthly capacity usage
I've been playing with some numbers to see what streaming uses, in terms of monthly usage. If anyone's interested, I've created a small spreadsheet which gives a rough idea of how much of a monthly limit regular streaming might use. Actually, I got a bit of a shock. Even only streaming 4 hours a day, at 128k, would use approximately 8GB per month. That is a significant proportion of a 10GB service, for example (and I'd previously measured some web browsing at around 1GB per month, per person, so 10GB doesn't go far, really), and certainly exceeds a typical 3G/mobile service contract such as I've variously seen at 1GB or 3GB monthly. I've attached the spreadsheet; there are two versions in the zip, one is LibreOffice compatible (.ods) and the other is Excel compatible (.xls). 3G/mobile carriers include 'upstream' traffic in the loading calculation, and so do some (not all) fixed-line providers, so there is a facility in the sheet to select whether upstream loading should be Included, or Excluded. Other inputs (all the inputs are shaded 'blue') are available for stream rate, and (average) hours per day of streaming. There are a couple of other assumptions for the IP overhead (I've set this to 15% but you can change it) and for the upstream loading (which I set to 5% but, again, you can change it). And any corrections would be very welcome, by the way. regards, Atlantic +---+ |Filename: StreamingCapsV1.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12404| +---+ -- Atlantic Atlantic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Streaming: monthly capacity usage
thanks. Interesting! For example, last month I used 6.18GB at home and probably didn't stream any netflix movies last month, and I stream music about 5-6 hours per day, with typically 4 hours of that at 64 or lower (news stations, etc.). I also do some email and web use for 3 hours a day. So your spreadsheet predicts my real world use very well. Fortunately my home provider has a 250GB cap.

Re: [slim] Blocking Incoming Connections...
Your ISP is assigning a random address. At both ends. Without some third party to keep track of these addresses, neither end of your setup knows which address to use to get to the other. Dynamic DNS solves these problems to some extent. Check if your DSL routers have the ability to register with a Dynamic DNS provider. You might be able to get hold of some little utility to do this from your PC, but it's the other end which really needs it. I'm not sure why you think SSH can help. Surely it would have the same problem, not knowing the addresses, as SBS has? Probably, though, the worst that could happen is that someone who knows what you're up to could get access to your SBS and loudly play you Merzbow's greatest hits. -- pallfreeman Always look before you leap.

The Touch is hooked up to the hi-fi in the living room, with the router in the study at the opposite end of the house. After another spell unplugged it's working fine at the moment. Even if I did have it connected to the router via ethernet there's no telling how long I'd have to wait until the problem starts again; it could be an hour, a day or a week, although today seems to have been the worst so far. So I'm reluctant to try this at the moment. I suppose I could just unplug it every time I'm not using it. I'd bet money on that curing the problem, but it's not really as convenient.

As I typed earlier, you would do better to enable remote access to your WHS and install a notifier on each end. That way, you would always be able to access the settings of the webUI to get to the list of allowed addresses. This way, you would also be able to completely disable remote access by remotely using the web browser on your WHS machine to change the router settings. Note that the "default" port for RDP is 3389. When you make your router rule, you can 'redirect' that: For example direct port 5557 to port 3389 on your WHS. This will keep people who snoop your address on port 3389 from getting a "logon" from RDP. Then on the remote machine, you direct RDP to connect to xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:5557 Your router follows the rule and sends the traffic to your WHS and you're in.

In this case, set it up as an openvpn "client", and have it try connect continuously to somesuch.dyndns.com (the PC or the router at home) On the PC or router at home run both openvpn and dyndns DNS daemon to refresh the pointer to the IP used for home.

Player/server discovery will work, playing FLAC files without rebuffering will probably be a bit difficult, but everything else should work perfect. On both sides use certificates to identify both ends and allow connection. You may want to use a cipher for the tunnel (which will hammer the router a bit) but if you don't the effect is that someone listening on the connection will be able to read the data stream. In this specific case I don't see this is an issue. Handshake always stays secure by use of certificate/private key. Openvpn is an ssl VPN, it is very robust and resilent to NAT. I guess you can do about the same using ssh, certificates, map ports and somehow use a daemon on the router to reconnect.

[slim] What is purpose of #EXTURL in playlist?
I am moving my playlists (.m3u) from a headless Linux box on my network to a Windows box. Each box runs its own copy of SBS under its own operating system. The playlists that I made on the Linux box (using its web interface from a browser on a separate Windows machine) have only two lines per playlist entry: - an #EXTINF (with a -1 for the length and the track name) - the track's file location with full path name under the Linux system. The playlists that I make from scratch on the Windows box (running SBS and containing the music files) have three lines per playlist entry: - a #EXTURL:file/// directive followed by the track's file location in what seems to be Linux format (spaces replaced by the ASCII code %20) - a #EXTINF (with the actual length of the track and the track name) - the track's file location in Windows format with a full path name My question is, what does the #EXTURL directive do, and is it necessary on playlists under windows? Searching the forums brings no hits. Is it only used by SBS and only for certain configurations? I am no longer using the Linux box and am moving all the playlists from it to the Windows machine that is running SBS. I know I have to replace all the file locations from the Linux box with their new locations on the Windows box and change the "/" to "\". My question though is, do I have to add a #EXTURL line to each entry of these playlists? They seem to work OK on the Windows box without an #EXTURL entry as long as I convert the file location. And is it important to have the proper length of th track in the #EXTINF directive?

All my prevoius SB issues in the early days were all related to local wifi issues, as soon as I changed to using "powerplugs" on those SB devices in low signal parts of my house all the connectivity issues went away - and for many years I have have had a rock solid connectivity setup. -- simonjedrake QNAP TS-239 (v 3.5.0 build 0815).

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
The following is a post I recently submitted on the MonkeySqueeze Development forum. I'm posting it here to widen the posts distribution and to advertise the development forum. Beta versions of the script are also available for download. Click on the link below. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=59907&sid=34e0d59a4aa4a71dc647ee17cf1eda94 "Probably the greatest issue MonkeySqueeze faces is the buffering issue between MediaMonkey and the Squeezebox system. Solve this issue and the basic goals are achieved. Before I go further I should state I'm writing this from a perspective of a person who is not a MediaMonkey or Squeezebox expert but a person who has a more than basic understanding of computers. What is the problem? When MediaMonkey is linked to Squeezebox via MonkeySqueeze there is a noticeable lag in the music playing on a Squeezebox device. The lag usually ranges from 1 to 7 seconds depending on file size, type etc... When a new track starts playing on MediaMonkey the previous track can still be playing on the Squeezebox device and it will abruptly finish to be replaced by the next piece of music. This is exacerbated by tracks that have no lead out silence such as some classical, opera, progressive rock etc... any music with gap less tracks. What is happening is a delay caused by the track being loaded by a Squeezebox device before it plays (buffering) and delays in MediaMonkey communication as it passes through various computer subsystems. The format of the track can have a significant impact on the issue; when playing mp3 tracks the lag is about 1 to 3 seconds however when playing lossless tracks such as FLAC the lag can be from 4 seconds to 10 seconds in extreme cases. What can be done? Good question. I'm sorry to say at this stage I do not have the skills to do the advanced programming that would be required :( and hence why I'm writing this post. I have a couple of ideas but they may not be achievable or totally off track but I'll table them anyway. 1. If MonkeySqueeze could monitor the track countdown time on a squeezebox device then it could delay the next track from playing until the time falls to 0.00 seconds. A delay between tracks will possibly still occur but it is better than a track abruptly stopping 2. Introduce a synchronise function similar to the one in Squeezebox Server If anyone has better ideas or wishes to contribute to the discussion please take the time to reply." -- Gingernut63 Gingernut63 MonkeySqueeze - Squeezing music into your life!
