Re: [slim] Trying to add Musikguiden podcast from sr.se
I don't think there is any podcasts for Musikguiden "http://sverigesradio.se/sida/laddaner.aspx?programid=4067";. However, I guess you could add individual programs (from 30 dagarsarkivet) to your favourites at mysqueezebox.com.

[slim] Need help getting Logitech Media Server 7.7.2 to work on GoFlex Home.
I have a couple questions concerning LMS on the GoFlex Home server running ArchLinux ARM. I had to reload the alarm OS because I couldn't login after I tried to upgrade the software with pacman. I installed the latest version of alarm (kernel 3.1.10-11-ARCH) but the older version of LMS 7.7.1 version (logitechmediaserver-7.7.1-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz which worked perfectly on the older version) wouldn't install because perl dependencies need to < 5.15. I played around with the .PKGINFO inside the .xz file and after changing the perl dependencies to < 5.17 I was able to get it to install LMS 7.7.1. But when I try to start the daemon it fails. When I try to start 7.7.1 as my user I get the follwoing error message: $ /etc/rc.d/logitechmediaserver start :: Starting logitechmediaserver daemon [BUSY] Can't locate Slim/bootstrap.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/logitechmediaserver /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at ./slimserver.pl line 137. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./slimserver.pl line 137. [FAIL] $ But if I try to start it as root I get this error message instead: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/logitechmediaserver start Password: :: Starting logitechmediaserver daemon [BUSY] The following modules failed to load: EV XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 YAML::XS Sub::Name *** NOTE: If you're running some unsupported Linux/Unix platform, please use the buildme.sh script located here: If 7.6 is outdated by the time you read this, Replace "7.6" with the major version You should never need to do this if you're on Windows or Mac OSX. If the installers don't work for you, ask for help and/or report a bug. of Logitech Media Server you are running. *** Exiting.. [DONE] $ * END OF ERROR OUTPUT ** I don't understand why the modules are not being loaded. So I'm stuck. Anyone got any suggestions on how I can get this to work? I tried to build the package for 7.7.2 but it failed to successively compile. I tried to downgrade perl to 5.14 but was unable to find the .xz package. I also tried to build perl-5.14 from source but couldn't do that either. I can't find a LMS 7.7.2 pre-compiled package for arm on the internet either. Does anyone know if someone has succeeded in building a package for LogitechMediaSever 7.7.2 that will run on the GoFlex Home? I can live with LMS 7.7.1 if only I could get it to run. thanks John maihoaomv's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56534 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95623 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What if Logitech pulls the plug
Sorry to get away from the UPnP / DLNA discussion but. If Logitech was to pull the plug on mysqueezebox.com, I'm guessing there's enough programming talent and motivation in the community that a workable solution to mysqueezebox.com would become a reality pretty quickly if push came to shove. Who knows where it might go from there I've seen it happen in smaller communities already. The geeks will find a solution, we always do. What a great platform. I can't believe after all these years, there still isn't really anything that touches the flexibility of these boxes in allowing me to listen to what I want, how I want. 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Websites
I am in the process of starting up an internet radio (Winamp / Shoutcast) with an external server bringing it onto the net (Wavestreamer). The website for the radio has a Windows Mediaplayer that starts playing as soon as the page is launched, and which works fine. However, when I try to connect to the website using Squeezebox, the station is not found (or a message of no streaming found). However, when I connect the Squeezebox to the Wavestream port (moon.wavestreamer.com:..), Squeezebox plays as expected. Anybody who knows where I miss out, as I want the Squeezebox to connect to the radios website and not via the rather cryptic Wavestreamer connection? Thanks.

Re: [slim] Streaming to reciva radio from SB Touch with TinySC
I don't think so. You might be able to get the Reciva to play from LMS server running on your computer, assuming the Reciva is DLNA.

A big part of it is the lack or hardware. You have the radio and the touch - that's it!! And stores like Target aren't shoving them in peoples faces next to the Bose products. Crutchfield doesn't even feature the squeezebox in their catalog anymore - just Sonos. The best, most robust, easiest to use software isn't going to fix these issues. I'm a hardcore user and an avid music enthusiest. What matters to me isn't going to matter to 90% of the users, so satisfying my needs isn't going to bring droves of new squeezebox users into the fold. Feature-wise, I'm happy with what we have today. I love that I can easily turn my iOS and Andriod devices into portable squeezeboxes. Software stability is another story. My server stops for no apparent reason. If it doesn't stop by itself, I have to restart it periodically because of a memory leak. The only reason I'm on this version of software is Rhapsody support. The last version of 7.3 was solid as a rock, but doesn't support changes Rhapsody made in their protocol. The LMS versions scare me with all of the problems people reported along the way. Problems were always fixed super fast...not so any more. Sorry to sound like a sourpus and a negative-nancy, but I think the issues surrounding the squeezebox are beyond help from the community. Logitech needs to relaunch the Squeezebox line with some new exciting hardware and marketing support. maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94987 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
I read "3" and thought "uh, that's the Boom", but then I realized you meant something you can connect your own speakers too. In the world of powered speakers, would that really be necessary. Somebody that is inclined to buy their own passive speakers would also be inclined to buy their own amplification. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm amazed that Sonos has jumped ahead of Logitech with this. Logitech had a huge head start and certainly the brand power to see it through. It upsets me when I go to my local department store (Target) and see a large prominent Sonos display. Sonos is also so expensive!! I miss the active development of the software.

Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
Usually most "consumer" users rather than "enthusiasts" want to keep it simple. Most of the suggestions here are from rather hard-core users, as you would expect on a dedicated forum. Unfortunately Sonos has beaten Squeezebox in this particular format battle. Now when I describe my Squeezebox system to friends they say "oh, you mean it works like a Sonos". The reason Sonos won is they offer a fully integrated hardware and software system that offers a whole working setup from Speakers, amps, clients and access points making sure they match visually as well as technically - and their bespoke wireless net where every client is also an access point was a stroke of genius that solved the big bug that has forever plagued the Squeezebox. They keep up with Apple and Microsoft by not relying on either company for any part of their systems - except to make sure their "server" software works on both setups. Even then, I know four people with Sonos systems and none of them run a server, listening entirely through on-line systems like Napster/Rhapsody and Spotify. That means their Sonos systems work completely independently from any other piece of computer hardware in their houses, connecting only at their router. Hi-fi is a dying hobby. 90%+ of people buying consumer electronics want a whole "system" - in most cases this means just a single "music box"! They certainly don't want to buy their amplifier from one company, speakers from another, CD player from a third and digital streamer from a fourth. So, what would most users want from Logitech? It is probably too late to create their own wireless net, which would probably infringe Sonos patents anyway. However they could sell a 1 - Squeezebox branded wireless access point / bridge / wireless extender In addition to the Touch and Radio which are fine, 2 - visually matched high quality powered speakers to go with the Touch (not just some crappy PC speakers) 3 - a player with an integrated amplifier (why oh why oh why have they never done this obvious thing!!!) 4 - a player with an integrated amplifier and speakers (Boom II, but prettier) and because the Squeezebox system is aimed more at those with their own digital music libraries 5 - a dedicated (Linux) server to run the software I know that 3rd parties have provided all of these at one time or another, but my point is that they have to be visually integrated and produced and supported by Logitech. Ideally all the components, including the Touch, Radio and new hardware would have a design overhaul to make them prettier. Provide hardware in white as well as black to better match existing interior decor. That way, somebody could go into an electronics store and buy a complete working Squeezebox system from network and client through to speakers. Of course this will never happen now. Logitech still had the time to do this when they bought Squeezebox but they failed to put in the necessary investment and commitment and now this technically superior platform has lost out to the inferior one. Anybody else remember Betamax?

Re: [slim] Trying to add Musikguiden podcast from sr.se
A strange mish mash of audio standard are being used.
The Podcast references an ASX playlist which contains an mpeg4 file
marked "video/mp4"
LMS negotiates allfo the above and gets to the actual file:
http://sverigesradio.se/topsy/ljudfil/4005520.m4a
This file will not play on an Sb3 when transcoded by faad and also not
natively decoded on a Touch. The file IIRC there is a mpeg4 file
format which Touch and faad cannot play when it is streamed as a podcats
- I think the "header" is at the end of the file.
If you change the mp4 transcoder to ffmpeg and the file can be played if
mpeg4-/aac "native" is disabled.
The custom-convert.conf file using ffmpeg for a Linux system will look
like below but you will lose ffw/rew
Code:
mp4 mp3 * *
# FRB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-ss %s}
[ffmpeg] -loglevel quiet -f mp4 -i $FILE$ -f wav - | [lame] --silent -q
$QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ - -
mp4 pcm * *
# FRB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-ss %s}
[ffmpeg] -loglevel quiet -f mp4 -i $FILE$ -f u16le -
mp4 flc * *
# FRB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-ss %s}

I just tried to paste some of the URLs into the LMS web interface, "Tune in URL". First LMS says "ASX Radio", and starts counting for a couple of seconds, then it changes to say "MP4 Radio" and stops. I have no idea why.
