It plays FLAC, but for US $499, it should make your breakfast and
coffee as well.

Re: [slim] Acer Aspire Revo: Good Server Bones?

2011-09-24 Thread slippyr4

I'd think the desktop edition would be fine. although you're after a
"server", you'll only have a couple of clients. "server" operating
systems are for data centre's and so on.

You can set up file shares and even quotas and so on with ubuntu
desktop edition just fine. I doubt you'll need any more than that.

Re: [slim] Acer Aspire Revo: Good Server Bones?

2011-09-24 Thread solder fumes

Thanks for the reply slippyr4. Fair comment, I'll try to ask a slightly
more direct question.

If I want to use the Revo as a replacement for the QNAP, effectively as
a file server, do I need to install Ubuntu Server, or will the desktop
version do the job? I'm guessing I need the Server version but I've had
a look round and can't find the answer. If so how difficult is the
Server version to install? If I'm asked about DNS and DHCP it might be
a bit beyond me.

But for £200 the Revo looks a good deal for 4MB RAM with a wireless
keyboard and mouse, even if I end up with Windows and just use it as a
PC.

[slim] SB3 Broken. Replacement adaptor advice needed

2011-09-24 Thread dazbarber

Hi all,

After almost 5 years, my SB3 is dead.  However, I am suspecting that
the power adaptor is the culprit (but cannot be sure).

I guess the only way to tell is to buy a new adaptor.

Does anybody in the UK have any experience of these adaptors:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Squeezebox-player-replacement-adaptor/dp/B002J9DHMS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316858207&sr=1-1

If so (assuming that they work) how do they compare with lead length?
Any shorter and I'll have problems.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the adaptor is to blame - I'm missing
my music (and my BBC iplayer as I use squeezebox to connect my tv to
the internet).

Many thanks,

Daz

SB3 can use JVC_DVD IR codes, or try the NET:UDAP utility hack for setup
(no idea if that will work until you get SB3 onto the network first).

Re: [slim] Harmony Link

2011-09-24 Thread Mnyb

it is not at all hard to switch app , such integration must also be
better than any existing app , othervise must user would switch to a
better app anyway .

How much fiddling with the hifi do you do when listening to a
squeezebox ? I adjust volume now and then thats all ?

So when the rigth input is chosen and volume comfortable it can take
hours until i switch -from- Squeezepad or iPeng to iRule this coincides
whit watching tv or movies .

(that reminds me of that i must set up phantom source in my ht with
picture from the TV network but sound from a my squeezebox, good during
comercials )

Re: [slim] iPeng Update: More Music: SoundCloud, Aupeo, hypem.com... anyone?

2011-09-24 Thread pippin

Well, both functions are usually adding tracks. The only thing is that
"Add next" got changed to "Play next" in a recent iPeng update meaning
that it makes the player start playback if it's currently paused or off
but it sill never deletes a playlist. You can turn this off in
Settings->iPeng Settings.
That it started playback with the second track is indeed a bug (happens
with empty playlists) and will be fixed in the next update.

Re: [slim] Acer Aspire Revo: Good Server Bones?

2011-09-24 Thread slippyr4

That's a how long is a piece of string question really.

The 3700 would be an ideal server. Putting windows on it would be very
easy.

Putting ubuntu on it would also be pretty easy - the installer
approaches windows in it's ease of use and simplicity. Where you could
get unstuck is if you have problems - odd crashes, driver issues, stuff
like that. They are generally tougher to fix in linux than windows.

However it's all down to experience. i'd say go for it. There's a huge
ubuntu support community out there and if you do have some issues there
are people who'll help you out.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Receiver discontinued?

2011-09-24 Thread rensato

just my $0.02, it is sad that they have stopped offering the receiver. 
Not that it is my concern, but logitech may be presenting a barrier to
first time purchases of the squeezebox system with the removal of the
receiver. That is how I started out and have become quite loyal to the
logitech brand since.
