Re: [slim] Lots of buffering and dropping out - W10?
Some routers are heat sensitive , my old linksys wrt54gl was ? Yes in general,router placement can make big difference and also how the antennas are directed . Some routers allow for different placement on the side instead of flat on its bottom etc , worth experimenting with , and its height above the floor . One should try to get it in a central location in the home equidistant to all things and people that needs it . Having it in a corner of the house is waste full as much of its range will be out in the garden or the street outside Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Re: [slim] Inguz EQ w/ 7.7.5 help?
JohnB, your edit worked for ALAC files, marvelous! Thank you very much for that. I was not able successfully to bypass one of the players: deleting the section for the player's mac address caused squeezebox to generate a new section for that player in the custom convert file. And adding # in front of each line didn't seem to make a difference. But that is really a minor hurdle-- being able to process ALAC has made the plugin usable for me for the first time, which is a major benefit. What do you think about the Spotify streaming? The stream identifies as OGG Vorbis, and there are Inguz DSP entries in file types for OGG Vorbis converting to FLAC, but Squeezebox doesn't seem to be transcoding it. For whatever reason the DSP doesn't process the stream. If you have a theory let me know, but otherwise thanks again for the help. blscorp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65189 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104998 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The watch, especially the more expensive models are not really the sort of thing you want to become antique in not even 1 year... I really like mine and use it all the time. Messaging when I am at work not being able to check my phone is great. Then Hue and iPeng - all is good for me. Had a Pebble before and except for battery life, which is a non issue for me, the watch is in a completely different ballpark and a great gadget. So, see what happens.

My experience with cable company support (Cox, Comcast, and TimeWarner) is that the folks you are talking to are mostly completely unknowledgeable about how networks work beyond asking you to plug and unplug things. I'd frankly be shocked if anyone at phone support even knows the concept of DHCP handing out IP addresses in your router. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105017 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

That won't solve the issue of two routers, both handing out IP addresses (that may overlap). I suspect you may need to get some network savvy friend to help you out (to make sure DHCP is turned OFF on one of the routers). But at least with what you've done (removing the antennas), all your devices will likely see only a single WIFI access point. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105017 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [Preview] iPeng on Apple Watch
Well, may be just me but _I_ do sometimes change the volume using the watch, for example when you are talking with guests and want to quickly tune down (or up...). My biggest problem with thins right now is not that it's slow but it lacks granularity so I would actually love to be able to use the crown. Let's hope the newer rumors are true that it's not a 2nd generation Watch Apple is going to present this quarter but an improved software iteration All these rumors about Apple products all the time... ;) --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

So, if changing over to OS2 means slowing down start and performance of the Watchapp, then please do not do it. Especially if the only improvement would be, being able to have volume control using the crown - how often do you really change the volume? What is the point? The other functions are used so much more and having them slowed down would be a killer (in a bad way).
