TinySC and accurate time follow up:

Touch's own clock is already 1 minute behind after three days.
Streaming services via Apps using MySB in the background did not help
with the clock.
Obviously this means Erlands Daylight Clock Applet on Touch while
running TinySC is indeed doing ckeck-ins to maintain accurate time.

As soon as I switch Touch from TinySC to MySB, viola time is
instantly updated and correct.

Feels strange that Daylight Clock should have anything to do with it
but maybe the fact that I'm using mysqueezebox.com image proxy to
retrieve rescaled daylight images makes it sync the time also.

If that's the case it should be easy for Logitech to fix it simply by
retrieving an image from mysqueezebox.com at regular intervals.

Re: [slim] LMS 7.7.0 unstable as hell on Windows 2003 Server?

2011-11-27 Thread itm

OK I uninstalled, deleted the cache folder (and all folders from
previous installs). I then re-installed and scanned my library from
scratch - it completed OK. Now a few days later I find that the server
has stopped itself again. I attach the log.
This version doesn't stay up for longer than a day at a time on my
Windows 2003 Server, which is rendering it un-usable.
Unfortunately I've lost the last pre-LMS release of Squeezebox server,
and it seems to be no longer available on the official site. Does
anyone have a link for it?

Not at anything near the Logitech price point. But if you open the

probably a few others.

And I wouldn't be nearly so quick to dismiss Apple. You don't mention

Re: [slim] Good Squeezebox alternative?

2011-11-27 Thread garym

minor question re apple airplay. Does it support player synch. That is,
does it allow different players to be playing exactly the same thing
(synched) OR to be playing different things (all being fed from same
itunes).  Not sure, but just curious.

p.s. your Squeezeboxes and existing software will last forever until
they break. Even if logitech shuts it all down tomorrow. So you'll have
own music and anything you can reach with a URL (internet radio). Of
course you won't have anything that requires mysb.com interface
(pandora, spotify, mog, siriusXM, etc.).

yes Airplay does it really treat the whole system as a whole, sync or
not for multiple players from the same source and unaltered
soundquality ?  was not apples own airports ( or what they called them
) using urgh resampled audio to 16/48 k something.
What does airplay stream ?

I seen airplay in action just streaming youtube sound from an ipad to a
reciever cool demo:) but just a toy.
In a sutuation where I have for example iTunes on a computer an iPad
and some sort of player that is airplay capable how does this come
together ?

streaming from the actual pad seems a bit backwards for stationary use
but usefull for getting tunes from friends iPhones to ones stereo or

Re: [slim] Logitech drops Revue, says early Google TV intro a 'mistake'

2011-11-27 Thread AndreE

This is very interesting discussion.

I guess the real thread for average user comes from “external
complexity”
Any mass-market solution should be easy to set-up and operate by one
fingertip.
Interestingly TV solution rivals are: Samsung with its HUB, Philips
with similar ideas and of course Apple.
Apple TV and coming real TV box will change the entertainment world
soon.
I see that standard broadcast will have serious problems from this
side.
Who needs a standard TV when you can stream everything from internet
using one of HUBX or possible iTune?
Still market is fresh and many solutions are not mature, but main
brands are already far ahead of most.
I personally believe that Logitech could launch the product doing both:
audio and video.
I would be happy to move all my movies to the same server where my
music is. But would it be really implementable and supported? Main
argumentation against would be the piracy (as all discussions about
movies). It would be great to move all DVDs and later Blue-Rays to the
server and have them available at any time I need… and it is possible
(to some extend) with Apple platform
Pity, I see Logitech is a bit too late to get to this market and…
content provider is a key for success. Google did not fulfill this
role.
Another alternative would be to move to the same filed where big boys
are – to start offering content like e.g. Apple does. But this would
not fit to Logitech business model as it is now, and produces a lot of
conflicts with many partners, even with Apple. I see it as less likely
happening.

Re: [slim] Good Squeezebox alternative?

2011-11-27 Thread toby10

Time wise the Duet was cancelled after a decent run, as far as
electronic devices go.
SB3  Boom  Duet Receiver were all basically based on the same player,
were getting old, replaced by newer players Touch  Radio with more
features (like hi-res  Spotify).
There have often been only a single current player offered in the SB
history, having multiple current players offered is relatively new.

Reasons I think SB will be around in the near future:
Logitech has said it was very pleased with it's streaming product
sales, particularly in the EU market.
Radio is the single best selling SB model ever made.

Does Apple/Airplay have as many third party services as does SB or
Sonos?  I'm asking, I don't know.  :)

This is all very true.  Whilst the BBC in the UK operates via the
licence fee, they still have a very lucrative business selling shows
and programming to other networks globally.  The licence fee alone
would not produce the same breadth and quality of programming.

That said, you still can't beat the Beeb. It's one of the things I
really miss when I'm the other side of the pond.

 Hi virtualien.
 Interesting find! I just fixed this on my local iPad tonight, .

Many thanks, you are always welcome. When below described misbehavior
gets fixed I will embrace your sneak preview offer :)

setup:
SqueezePad controls Squeezeslave (SqueezePads internal player can be
either on or off, it does not matter).

good behavior:
SqueezePad runs all day long, the music plays, SqueezePad is on top and
visible. On certain occasions I put on the smart cover, the music keeps
on playing. When the smart cover is removed within 10 minutes the
SqueezePad is still alive and on top of the screen (just the way you
left it). 10 minutes and more under smart cover the music still keeps
on playing. So far all is greatly appreciated.

misbehavior:
If you remove the smart cover later than 10 minutes after you put it on
you will see your home screen. SqueezePad has to be opened again from
the multitasking bar. SqueezePad immediately displays the status of the
current song, it feels like it just went into multitasking mode
(iPengHD shows identical misbehavior).

what has been so far discovered:
- when the smart cover is removed 9:50 after you put it on, SqueezePad
is still on top, but there is a message Server disconnected. The
message disappears and SqueezePad stays on top of the screen.

- iPads integrated Apple music player always stays on top, no matter
how long it is covered and no matter if it actually plays or not. iOS
settings should be fine (auto-lock=never, Passcode Lock=Off)


my wish:
Please let SqueezePad stay on top of the screen even when the iPad 2
is covered by smart cover. This should be standard behavior, no
option needed, let it just behave like the Apple music player.

 my wish:
 Please let SqueezePad stay on top of the screen even when the iPad 2
 is covered by smart cover. This should be standard behavior, no
 option needed, let it just behave like the Apple music player.

This started with iOS5 and I'm afraid it is supposed (by Apple) to be
that way (maybe to better save battery power?)
Apples own Apps cannot be taken as comparison, their Apps always could
do things that 'normal' Apps were not allowed to do.

Others are having the problem too, here is one of the public posts:

The ABC in Australia is very similar to the BBC; it provides the
quality I look for in TV programs, some sourced from the BBC. The ABC
while funded by Government, has it's own charter and operates
independently. Without the ABC providing a quality alternative then all
that would available is the dreaded reality programs that are destroying
free to air at the moment, and crappy Australian and US sitcoms/soap
;).

It works very well, but if the ABC disappeared then TV for me would be
out the window.

Bluegaspode,

What he's describing here is that the home screen shows up
automatically (like with a crashed app). I believe you will be
violating the background execution time so the app gets terminated
after 10 min.

Re: [slim] Time is off

2011-11-27 Thread Michael Herger
  Because MonkeySqueeze requires LMS connection (it doesn't work with
  TinySBS for now), and there is no clock drift if I am connected to
 LMS

 Why not? TinySBS is LMS less the web server. But it provides the same

 JSON/RPC interface as LMS.

 That is exactly the question asked by those who voted for this bug

 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17164

Not exactly. This bug is about the time drifting. Has nothing to do with  
the requirement for MonkeySqueeze to have a full blown LMS. Does it?

to work, a pulic service TV should operate under it's own charter and
not under controll by the goverment, you see when it go wrong just tune
in the weird channels on your cable TV.

Re: [slim] Time is off

2011-11-27 Thread Michael Herger
 Feels strange that Daylight Clock should have anything to do with it
 but maybe the fact that I'm using mysqueezebox.com image proxy to
 retrieve rescaled daylight images makes it sync the time also.

There's no relation there :-).

I checked the code again: the time should be adjusted when prefs are  
synced between Touch and mysb.com. I only can ask again to check the  
player's log file. Failure should be noted in there.
