[slim] Which tags are read by SlimServer in MP3 files?
Hi, Just wondering if SlimServer (V6) reads all tags it finds in MP3 files or only a subset? If so, which ones? (some have special meaning like for multipart albums, etc...) Thanks, Daniel ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Slimserver V6: feature request
Done. Entered bug #1274.

Such as performer or others. I would like to use this feature because my artist tags contain a single value for an entire album (using Various Artists for compilations). I use the performer field to identify the actual individual performer(s) of each music piece. I'd like to be able to search on this field (and maybe others too). Anybody else see any usefulness in this? Yes, I definitely can see the utility in this.

Re: [slim] Unable to run slimserver 6.0.0 on linux as user other than root
Hi Michael,
I'm running slimserver on a Buffalo Linkstation. I downloaded the
complete .tar.gz archive and expanded it in /usr/local/slimserver
directory so I did not use any rpm. My call script uses --daemon and
--user slimserver etc...
(I created that user with its home directory at /home/slimserver).
This used to work just fine for V5.4.x where all user files would
get created in /home/slimserver but now it seems that --user doesn't
completely work (seems like some paths are hardcoded maybe?)
Tonight I'll try looking at the code that generates the error to see
if I can find anything...
Thanks,
Daniel

Since my user slimserver has its home directory at /home/slimserver,
it's not surprising that it can't open the file in the root's home
directory. If I use user root, then it works fine.

Re: [slim] Unable to run slimserver 6.0.0 on linux as user other than root
That's the thing, I haven't run it as root. As a matter of fact, I
just cleared out *everything* pertaining to slimserver on my
linkstation and reinstalled *everything* back from the official 6.0.0
release. Then I used my startup script with the --user slimserver in
it and it still does the exact same thing...
Thankfully it seems that setting the --cachedir to the directory I
wanted did the trick though. I still think there's a bug in the code.
Thanks,
Daniel

SlimServer tries to access its database in the /root/ folder - where the
user slimserver does not have access to. I guess the first time you ran
slimserver you did it as root. Try removing /etc/slimserver* as well as
~/.slimserver.prefs. Then start slimserver as user slimserver. This
should create a new .slimserver.prefs file.
Or use the --cachedir option.
This used to work just fine for V5.4.x where all user files would
get created in /home/slimserver but now it seems that --user doesn't
completely work (seems like some paths are hardcoded maybe?)
I guess it was configured when you (accidentally?) ran it as user root.

Have fun :-)

Re: [slim] Unable to run slimserver 6.0.0 on linux as user other than root
Another thing, after clearing out everything and re-installing I got
this message in the log file (over and over):
Couldn't write preferences file out /etc/slimserver6.conf
It appears that this file was created by slimserver under user root...
After a chown slimserver:slimserver, things were able to be saved in
the prefs file...
What do I need to do to have this run as user slimserver?? I have
everything under /usr/local/slimserver6 as user slimserver:slimserver,
my startup script uses --user slimserver and still... what am I
missing?
Thanks,
Daniel

Re: [slim] Anybody else having cpu useage issues with current Softsqueeze? (2.0a16)
Oops, forgot to mention. No visualizer, just the elapsed time and TRACKNUM. TITLE - ARTIST - ALBUM title format which makes the display scroll text. Working on trying what you suggested and will report back!

This is pretty much making softsqueeze unuseable for me as my computer slows to a crawl whenever it's on (starts off ok but slowly consumes more and more memory up to 64mb and 100%). Thanks for any help, Daniel Daniel, What music format are you listening to when you see this high cpu? Are you using a visualizer? It sounds like a thread in Softsqueeze is spinning when you use it. Could you please start Softsqueeze from the command prompt (instructions are on the Softsqueeze website). Then when your cpu usage hits 100%, stop playing the current track and then press ctrl-break in the window where you ran the java command. If you could do this three times giving a few seconds in between and send me the results I can probably spot what has gone wrong.

[slim] Searching for bitrates doesn't work in Advanced Search
My music collection is all MP3s with 99.9% at 160kbps CBR. I tried in advanced search to look for all songs that had a bitrate greater than 160 and it returned me the entire library. Is this a known issue? Daniel ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Softsqueeze 2.0a16 (latest from 2 days ago) goes to 100% CPU at idle?
I finally installed the latest Slimserver V6 nightly and it seems to work without any noticeable problem on my Buffalo Linkstation. I also used the Softsqueeze version specified for it (from the web page). This also works just fine but at some point today, my computer was feeling very sluggish (Win XP Home, 1.6Ghz Centrino laptop). Upon inspection of the Windows Task Manager, it revealed that the javaw.exe process was consuming upwards of 96% of CPU while still able to play the music from the Slimserver. I stopped the music and still it was consuming the same amount of CPU. After shutting Softsqueeze down and restarting, things went back to normal (close to 0% idle and 10% playing music).
