Re: [slim] SlimCtrl 1.3 out now
Hi there. That 'download from amazon' feature checks amazon for covers of the selected album. The user-interface for that feature isn't very sophisticated. When you tap the 'amazon' icon - watch the status bar (at the top) closely. It will say 'no covers found' or 'xxx covers found'. If no covers were found the icon simply disappears. If more than one cover was found the 1st cover will be displayed. The icon will stay visible and you can press it again for the next cover. It all depends on the quality of your mp3-tags. If they are proper there's a good chance to find a matching cover. Make sure album artist and album name are properly tagged. And try a common album first.

Now that I think about it: It's actually impossible to give a fail rate. So my 5% ballpark was pretty ignorant. My approach was the following: Every query is divided in chunks of n elements. And I chose n so that (in my environment) each chunk response returns with 1-2 seconds. And the timeout is 10 sec. Maybe it's better to interpret the 5% like so: In 5% of all thinkable use-cases will a query fail. in 95% it will not fail. so it will never fail for the average user (never := < 0.0001 % e.g.) Maybe we should talk about this on the phone.

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
SlimControl is trying to talk "CLI" to your SqueezeCenter on port 9000. But SqueezeCenter's CLI port is probably 9090. You usually do not need to change the CLI-port setting in the "settings". What you are seeing in the error log is the HTTP-Server repsonse. It says something like "what the hell are you talking about?" Or in other words "This command is not allowed: goodby!" If run SqCntr on a PC its most definitly port 9090 for CLI.

Re: [slim] iPeng vs. Android apps...?
As several authorities have already said - you cannot compare the speed of the web-interface of SqueezeCenter to a native application like iPeng, SqueezeCommander or SlimControl. The apps are much faster and more intuitive than the browser interface. Given that these apps cost a fraction of the hardware it all depends on what you are willing to spend on the hardware. And what you'll be doing with it besides controlling your SqueezeBox. If you fancy an iPhone - go get it and iPeng comes for like 2% extra money. Same for an Android phone & SqueezeCommander. If you merely want to control your SqueezeBox get a PDA for 30 bucks and SlimControl for another 15. If you want to be able to make phone calls with your 'controller' get a reasonably priced smartphone like a HTC + SlimControl. Just my 2c.

Re: [slim] SlimCtrl 1.3 out now
I'll check the "all tracks" query for performance too. Maybe I can collect the "album artist" information incrementally. Like so: When the complete album list is loaded (initially) I'll skip the artist information. And when individual albums or groups of albums (artist-query) are loaded at a later time, I query the artist information along and add it to the complete album list. As it is now, your NAS cannot deliver 20 albums in 10 seconds (timeout). Thats unacceptable for a complete list of e.g. 500 albums (=4 minutes) But it might be permissable for 10 albums of a single artist. -- Locuth Use your PDA/Phone as SqueezeBox remote -- http://sc.sciatec.de Locuth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29693 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75455 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SlimCtrl 1.3 out now
Muele - I'll upload an update for SC tomorrow. The thing is, arztde had me convinced to display additional album information (artist and year) However querying this additional information takes rather long. I suppose this causes SC to timeout (particularly on a NAS) If no one opposes, I'll take out this extra query. -- Locuth Use your PDA/Phone as SqueezeBox remote -- http://sc.sciatec.de Locuth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29693 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75455 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

That would of course be an option. I'll think about that. On the other hand, there's four lists that are beeing cached: albums, genres, artists, musicfolder (root directory) Once they have been loaded for the first time, the cache is built.

Can you connect to the CLI-port (9090) (vie telnet for example) These would be the minimal requirements. Than, when you hit "Test" in the the settings, what does the error log say?

The playlist arrows are gone. Use left-swipe and right-swipe to navigate. the timeout value is now fixed. If SlimCtrl queries take longer than that, your server is too slow. It would no fun if things were taking that long. Note: Long queries are 'split' by SlimCtrl. For example, 50 albums at a time, 10 folders at a time. If 50 albums take > 10 seconds than 500 albums will take > 100 seconds. Or 200 Folders > 3 minutes.

Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95
I had a lengthy conversation in the german forum. And my understanding now is that IRBlaster requires volume commands like "volume +5" rather than "volume = 45" So if activated, SlimCtrl sends +/- volume commands. The volume slider is then replaced by volume up/down buttons. Most people set the SqueezeCener volume to 100%. This setting is (AFAIK) left as-is by the IRBlaster plugin.

Muele, Spumanti - I uploaded an update of SlimCtrl, with the following
errors fixed:
1. Cover flipside, Album-Tracks:
Cut-off popup window when tapping the two bottom tracks - fixed
Tracklist will reload much faster when swiping-back from the lyrics.
2. keyboard in browser:
Cut-off keyboard
3. Browser tracks:
removed the question marks ("?? - song title")
4. Status bar (top of the screen)
Fixed the pixel-blur (I hope ^^)
It would be great if you could verify those fixes on your devices.

Dear ClimCtrl Users Please excuse my recent abscence from the forum.

We improved many details, Leif was a neverending fountain of bug-reports. The most notable new features are - lyrics from lyrdb.com - better coverart and image integration (facebook, flickr, remote radio) - hardened network engine - WOL (currently beeing tested) - slightly different browser-structure I hope to be getting feedback on the WOL sometime this afternoon.

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hi there There is no upper limit on the number of folders/tracks. Deleting the cache would have been my first guess too. If the folder list is (reproduciably) truncated at the same folder or track I'd say it's caused by some error at that track/folder. How large is the truncated folder actually? Is the root directory truncated or some sub directory? If it's the root, you could send me your cache-file (or inspect it yourself) It's in the cache directory /SlimCtrl//SC_fld#.dat. Alternatively I could check what's going on by connecting to your server from my place. That's the fastest way to find and debug the error.

Hey Rob Yes - I will leave the playlist displayed until you press the popup menu button again.

(the Duet has that special button at the bottom of the list - I think) As to the keyboard characters "[" / "]" Adding more character to the '0-9' button would make it a bit awkward to use I think.
