Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
But decent album art can almost double the size of your files plus some streamers (including some squeezebox software players) can have issues if you have a huge chunk of metadata to skip over before the actual music starts. --- 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=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wildly OT question: webdav or CIFS for iPad file browsing?
You can use a CIFS share for TimeMachine with some workarounds but at least in the past it has been unreliable for me. I use AfS (or whatever that Apple network share protocol is called and CIFS in parallel but I have totally given up on file browsing on the iPad anyway, I have no use for that anymore --- 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=105496 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes that works fine ,but in the end IMHO it's better to have the art in the file , then it never gets lost in any context now or in the future . And it works when moving files to media players USB sticks etc . There is not only album art . I have several albums with trackart , different pictures for every track . Some digital media releases has this nowadays , makes sense to me . In this case LMS uses the picture in track 1 as album art .

Thank you Michael, your answers are spot-on. Well, I will keep Netatalk for TM duties and move the rest to Samba then. Ugh.

Thanx bluegaspode & Mnyb, for getting back to me. I was pretty sure Bluetooth was NOT a transport Mechanism option, BUT I would have thought that LMS would have allowed you to select the order upon which the Album Art is picked up. I have 1.4TB of Flac Files, so I guess I'll slowly start embedding the bigger/better Art Images into each File.

Re: [slim] Wildly OT question: webdav or CIFS for iPad file browsing?
I see some file browsing clients for iOS advertise support for CIFS. Samba has always bored me and I remember no end of interoperability troubles with macs or win PCs in the old days. CIFS is what Apple uses by default nowadays. It's not bug free, but certainly better supported (and faster?) than netatalk. Would you choose webdav or CIFS as file sharing protocol for an iPad? I never bothered to install anything but CIFS. I'm running a CentOS based server, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android devices. All access it just fine. I must admit that some non-ASCII characters got broken a few years ago during some Samba or client update. But IMHO it's a thing of the past nowadays. If CIFS, should I let go of Netatalk and replace it with Samba, even for desktop users? Please note that iirc you can't use a CIFS share for Timemachine. I might be wrong. But other than that I've never missed netatalk. FWIW: I've been using Stratospherix FileBrowser on iOS for several years. It's actively developed, changes its icon every few months, but has been very useful to me whenever I needed to access a file on my server (incl. photos, movies etc.) -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Wildly OT question: webdav or CIFS for iPad file browsing?
It's in the title: I don't think the question has much to do w/ LMS (not for me at least), but I hope Pippin or some other member knowledgeable in all things iOS can put me on the right track. I have a server with the classic user|workgroup ownership scheme. The platform is linux, clients are Macs, fileserver is netatalk, user authentication is local. - Ideally I want to offer the same view when browsing from an iPad or from the Finder: identify as user foo and see 2 shares: "foo's homedir" and "shared files" - An ok solution would be to allow separate access to the 2 shares when identified as user foo. (I expect providing a page or cgi showing both locations is easy.) - Files accessed will be the usual PDFs and MS Office documents. R/W access is expected. I understand this is feasible with webdav (I'd like to use lighttpd) in conjunction with fuse-bindfs (to remount the tree as www-data) and would use an autofs executable map to do the mounts. Messy, but feasible I think. I see some file browsing clients for iOS advertise support for CIFS. Samba has always bored me and I remember no end of interoperability troubles with macs or win PCs in the old days. Would you choose webdav or CIFS as file sharing protocol for an iPad?
