Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Pippin, Just want to say thank you for the good work. I was using ipeng when it was just an plugin for the squeezebox server and when your ipod app first came out, I bought that since the first version. When you first added the playback function, I didn't think that was very useful as I was mainly using the ipod for controlling all my other squeezebox devices. Recently, I found out that Logitech had discontinued the squeezebox line and I can no longer get any squeezebox in my local area or anywhere in the world for a reasonable price. After days of search, I realised that ipeng may be able to turn an ipod into a squeezebox receiver. I then pulled out my old 1st generation ipod and enabled the ipeng playback option. When I connected it through a charging line out cable to my Audiolab amp, the quality is surprisingly good! Sound quality of Flac playback is as good as a mid-level CD player. Better yet, on the server, it appeared as just another squeezebox player that I could control remotely. Now, I no longer need to worry about not able to get another squeezebox hardware. When I need a new player, just get an ipod and pick a nice dock or connection to fit the need. Much more freedom for hardware combination. To me, Logitech had just handed over one of their great product to Apple.

Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
What I really miss and want is the ability of squeezebox to pause and rewind live internet radio and to schedule recordings. Hope that it will do radio just like what a PVR could do to TV channels. It should be easy for logitech to add that function to the media server.

Re: [slim] New Boom on the Horizon?
As a user, I was very disappointed with the product line in the last couple of years. My feeling is that Logitech is destroying the very good slimdevices line in the last few years. To we end users, we just want a device with good audio quality, simple user interface and reliable software. The old classic dump squeezeboxes just did the job well. What Logictech did was: 1. Unnecessarily changed the devices to linux computers to increase complexity that their company's programmers can't handle. 2. Dropped the important digital out on most of their products except top of the line. Consumers ended up with not much choices. 3. In this age of global village, Logitech dropped support to display international character sets. (need users to do their own mods to fix) 4. Discontinued useful functions when their programmer cannot solve their own problem. eg. Remote number keys for favorites; constant digital out level while having variable analogue out, etc. 5. Newer software even less stable than older version. I was a happy user when I bought my first squeezebox feeling the product was so much better than competition. My recent purchases ended up with a lot of time spent on finding workarounds. -- Honva Honva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81045 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have a problem regarding my squeezbox.. the problem is that i CANT play DTS/DD/AC3 sound format audio files on my audio system under this situation: My Squeezbox is connected Via coax cable to a DAC (valab nos), the DAC is connected to my 7.1 AV receiver,HK AVR 255 (via analog interconnect into an alalog input). Now the only problem i have is playing audio files (that are on my PC) that are in 5.1 format (such as DTS audio cd etc'...) P.S: if i remove the DAC and connect the Squeezbox straight to the AV receiver,i have NO problem at all hearing any kind of audio formats what so ever... so i guess the problem has to do with the 5.1 to 2.0 decoding that is not possible in the VALAB dac (it never ment to do so..) ANY suggestion you guys have for me? Thanks! Correct me if I am wrong. Valab NOS uses a very old chip for CD audio only. It only has dts/ac3 pass-through, not decoding. This is why you cannot play dts/ac3 with it. Squeezebox when playing dts/ac3 outputs the original coded stream to the digital out. It relies a dts/ac3 receiver to decode them. -- Honva Honva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76266 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It may help a few people and save a few mega Joules of energy aggregated over the SD community :-) --Dsdreamer On newer CPUs, underclock may not give you saving because the CPU will underclock itself during idle anyway. Undervolt will save you a lot more. How much power saving depends on how old your CPU is. Older CPUs without speed step or cool quiet will burn you a lot more energy. My old Athlon XP 3000 burns 102W during idle. My Athlon x2 3600 only burns 45W when idle and 39W after undervolting. WOL will save you the most energy and is easy to do. Most computers only use 1-5W during S3 sleep and wake up time is typically 20s (of which 15s was waiting for hard drive to spin up). If you are really concerned about power saving but want to maintain performance, forget about desktop boxes. Get a cheap old notebook with something like a Pentium M. While I spent hours trimmed and tuned my desktop server down to the impressive 39W, my Gateway notebook used only 12W after 5min of tweaking. If you want to put together a new SFF box, wait for the upcoming (May) Intel Atom CPU and Centrino 2 chipset.

By the time you could download a Blu-ray disc fast enough, Sony will have Blu-ray Ultra with 2TB media supporting 4320p HD format. 2. Hard Disk size not catching up fast enough. A 500G drive could only store a dozen of movies. You also need to back up the hard drive otherwise you eventually lose it. 3. A typical movie you will watch it once every a few years. Why bother to use expensive online storage (Hard Disk) for it? 4. A typical movie will last about 2 hours, inserting a physical disc is not a incovenience. (Music is different, songs last 3-4min which would trigger a lot of disc swap.) 5. A lot of online movie purchase has time limit. That is you can only watch it over a something like a 24-hour period. This is very wrong. It is more like rental only. When I buy I Blue-ray disc, I own it and can watch it later, give it to my friends or even sell it at a later day. It may even have investment value.

I bought the SB3 about 4 weeks ago. Spent some time to configure everythingfinding the perfect spot, connect to hi-fi, hiding wires, set-up server, config library, wake-on-lan, harmony remote, favourites, plug-ins, etc... After 3 weeks, everything is finally set-up perfectly. I had then showed my wife once (in about 60 seconds) how to use the thing with the harmony remote. Realising that she is techno-phobia, I have little hope that she will be able to use it or will use it. Came home last weekend it really surprised me. She was listening to internet radio with the SB3, switching channels and later on plays musics from the library. I think it does prove one thing. Although the setting up and configuration of the slimdevice is a bit more complex due to the large number of configuration options, plugins and settings, the user interface in fact is very simple and user friendly. Once set-up properly, even a non-geek like my wife is not afraid to give it a try. This is completely out of my expectation! Just the fact that she is feeling comfortable using it would justify buying another one for the bedroom.

What is the SB firmware version you are using? Thanks Felix Hi Felix, I was using firmware 84 when I had that problem. I have just tried it on version 86. In version 86, it is working now. Was something changed between 84 and 86? Now I feel better that I can use SqueezeNetwork more often and let my server sleep more (saving another 70W while listening to internet radio.) Thanks.

Re: [slim] Sound card w Toslink for playing DTS FLAC files
Besides using ASIO or KS to pass stream directly to digital out, there is one more important setting people often missed. Set the wave input and mixer output to 100%. Even KS won't bypass volume control (it just prevented the 44/48kHz conversion). Any volume adjustment will alter the DTS waveform and not regonised by receiver.
