[slim] best way to move plugins durring slim upgrade
Title: best way to move plugins durring slim upgrade Hi I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion regarding moving ones plugins to a new installation. Is there way to keep them outside the slim directory like you can do with prefs and cache? Im running perl tar.gz on a linux box and I usually keep my slim versions in say /usr/src/Slimxxx and create a link to /usr/slimserver pointing to the desired version. Ive tried just copying the Plugings dir but some plugins like alien drop other files outside of the plugins dir which causes problems.

RE: [slim] Re: Announce: SlimServer 6.2b2
Hi I was wondering if anyone has had any of the following problems with the releases from the 18th til todays nightly(19th) including the 6.2b2 released today. When using playlist rescan from server settings music stops on all players and what ever is queued up to play on each player is gone from the now playing. attached is what d_scan look like. I swear the files exist and everthing around them is 777. This may have to do with #1. In the past there were a bunch of .m3u files in the PL dir with MAC's and IP's of the players prepended to them to store current PL's.? I just did I little overhaul and moved the PL dir. I didn't move the m3u's cause it was a totally differnt vol/path ect.. Now I don't see those types of m3u's being created in there and it kind of makes me think it has to do with problem #1. User had full rights to PL dir. When doing a browser refresh the player always reverts back to a perticular player. If I refresh while I'm adding somes to player B it will change to player A. I'm 98% sure this was not the behavior a few nightlys back. Could be going crazy but just wondering. OK last one. If you go to the alarm setting on the SB via remote all 5 pages are the same(Each page is the press right to turn off). This only occurs when the alarm is armed and not when it is in the off setting. It still shows as 5 menu options and each option will takle you to the proper setting ie. alarm time, playlist ect.. its just that all 5 of the menu choices say press right to turn off instead of thier proper title.

RE: [slim] Re: Player stopping rather than pausing when switched off?
I've upgraded to the 8-30 nightly of 6.1.2 and it still seems to behave the same. Same= If I'm in the middle of a song and power off, then power on the song starts at the beginning again instead of from where I left off. I've tried unplugging and replugging squeeze box, forcing firmware upgrade, power cycling, checked for new settings that control this behavior, deleted pref file and cache dir ect.. and still the same behavior. Was it fixed in the 6.1.2? or 6.2? Is there a special procedure to start it playing from where it left off as opposed to starting from the beginning?

[slim] Re: Player stopping rather than pausing when switched off?
Hi I was wondering if anybody knew if this was going to be changed back to the original behavior. I've searched the bug/enhancements but don't see anything on it. Thanks matt This was an intentional change, in part to fix a bug where the volume levels got messed up if you paused, but mostly because it seemed more consistent with the behavior of other consumer electronics devices. It sounds like this was a behavior that you were counting on. Can you describe how you use it so we can fix it in the best possible way? On Jul 31, 2005, at 9:05 AM, Robin Cooksey wrote: In 6.1.1, players seem to stop rather than pause when switched off. I.e. when switched back on they say Stopped, rather than Paused, and they have reverted back to the start of the track; rather than starting at the same position in the track when play is pressed. I sort of thought this might have been done to help fix this bug from a while back: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=419 I have not really tested the current version though; since I am tending to leave the SB on all the time these days. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: [slim] Re: Multiple Profiles?
well, I think I'm just getting the impression that demands for how this must work will end up causing the one instance to double up on so much already. Its a given that once such a feature is created, there will be a user out there who will demand that it works in every different way possible. Share some files, not others, share prefs, not others. User defined access to players, swappable on the fly, admin lockouts etc. Just about any feature you name will have at least one person who will say that its absolutely required. The idea of two separate servers just cuts to the chase, though admittedly bars shared libraries on the fly. You'd have to use symlinks. They have already got their own custom network transport why not just expand on it and create the SOS(Slim Operating System) and SFS(Slim File System).

RE: [slim] Updating Slim Server?
I just use symbolic links. unpack the tar ball to say /usr/src/Slimserver_6.x.x ln -s /usr/src/Slimserver_6.x.x /usr/local/slimserver Just make sure your startup script points to /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl (for this example). this allows you to keep a few versions of Slim around with thier origional names and dates incase an upgrade goes bad and your start up scripts won't need to be changed. You will probably also want to use command line options in the startup script to specify cashe dir, preferences, log file ect.. I put all of this in the slimserever users home directory. Matt I am running 6.0.2 on Linux. How do I install 6.1.1? Do I simply unzip the tar into the existing Slim Server directory overwriting whats there or should I delete the contents first?

RE: [slim] Re:Security consequences of opening port 9000 and beyond
I agree If someone wants something bad enough there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop them short of destroying what they want. There comes a point when the cost of securing something out weighs its value. It's up to you to determine what that value is and how far you are willing to go to keep it secure. You can put 2 alarms in your car, ignition kill, club, brake lock, The boot, gps tracking what ever you want. I'll show up with a yellow flatbed w/ AAA on the side and take it off a busy city street in the middle of the day with people all around and nobody would think anything of it. It is nice to see the voice of sensibility regarding this security question finally tilting the scales towards reason. I see these things as risk/reward propositions. In this case, as some feel, the risk of an attack is low, yet they fail to quantify the cost (negative reward) of a succesfully attack, which could be dramatic and high. The flip side reduces the risk to almost nil, and the cost is minimal (learning to install and configure a piece of software), and the reward is quite high (peace of mind, supplimental knowledge useful for other inet apps and services). When there is such an imbalance in the risk/reward proposition, the choice is clear. -- MrC ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss The information contained in this e-mail is strictly confidential and for the intended use of the addressee only; it may also be legally privileged and/or price sensitive.

RE: [slim] Re: Best Performance - recommendations? -- no, but I can tell you what *isn't* working for me..
Maybe a .cue/.m3u problem? A lot of the CDs I have ripped have playlist files in the dir with the music. If I browse folders and play a directory containing a CD that has a playlist file in it I get 2 of each song. I commented out .cue and .m3u in types.conf to remedy.(which of course broke playlists altogether). BUT I'm pretty sure it dropped a 4-5 hours scan time to under a half hour. (40,000 tracks) YMMV - I wasn't timing it so this may be a big wrong. Just something to think about. I will test later and report. Matt What I don't understand is why the scan time is seemingly exponential. I can do a full wipe and rescan of about 10,000 tracks in under 15 minutes (more like 10), so why does 7x the tracks take 96x as long to scan? -- radish ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss The information contained in this e-mail is strictly confidential and for the intended use of the addressee only; it may also be legally privileged and/or price sensitive.

I'm at work right now streaming from home at 64K, SSH'd to the server and FTPing a 215meg Mp3 to the same volume that my MP3's are stored and it has only dropped once for a few seconds(network issue). At work I'm on a single T-1 that is shared by 300 other people and at home I have a basic 384/1.5 DSL. At home I can't remember ever having a drop out where the server was at fault. I often sync all 3 players as well as playing different streams on each player. I also stream to work pretty much 24hours a day and its always nice to come to work in the morning at hear that the music is still playing day after day. Also faithful alarm clock. Except for that one morning with the new release, playlist problem, now I make sure(at night) that the alarm still works after upgrading. Process stats current When just streaming to one player remotely (xmms) - 1.1% When streaming to one player with WebUI open 2-5% When rescanning 15-20% - players are slow to respond but no drop outs. LAME is at about 4-5% when streaming remotely.

I'm running a dual P3 800 mhz Linux box. 512 MB RAM. 750 GB RAID 5 array (4 x 250 GB drives, PATA), 3Ware 4-port RAID controller. I have about 300 GB of MP3s in the SlimServer library. 2 Slimp3s, 1 Squeezebox 1, although it's the Slimp3s getting active duty. The server does some very light email chores and file serving, but its primary task is to run Slimserver. Which it struggles with. Which still surprises the heck out of me. Doing a search or active use of the web interface will often interrupt music playing. The web interface can take 10-20 seconds to respond or get to the next tab, although it's usually 2-5 seconds. Until browsing was fixed in the 6.1.x releases, it could take 50 seconds to get from one directory to enclosed directories using the remote and display. Sometimes, the player display would actually blank out. Now, it's better, but each button press still takes .5 - 5 seconds to respond, usually .5-1.5 seconds. It's still aggravating, regardless. I can't shake the feeling that if the server were multi-threaded that these problems would be completely absent. One thread to make sure the players didn't go dry, one to handle navigation via the remote, one to handle the web server, etc. Part of me keeps hoping SlimDevices has a master plan to fix all this.

Alex Send slipped. What I meant to say... Yes I agree the song should continue playing and I like including the zapped playlist as an option so not to sacrifice functionality. Agreed on move to zapped and copy to all others. I think we might have the beginning of something here. I'm new to asking for plugins/enhancments so I'm not sure what to do from here. File an enhancment request? not sure if this qualifies as an enhancment. Send specs and a gift basket to kdf? Secret ballot? I sure don't have the skills to do this.

RE: [slim] Player stopping rather than pausing when switched off
I too would like it to remember track position between power cycles. Matt ... How about an option to keep position within track when switched off? What do others think about this behaviour? I would prefer to revert back to the previous behaviour too. I frequently play long tracks, eg. podcasts where there's one track composed internally of many songs, so having to fast-forward back to the last song within the track is a bit irritating. In terms of server load, it's probably possible to change the way that the decoder is invoked, so that it isn't left idle/blocked. There is a bookmark plugin that remembers positions in tracks, such that play can resume from the bookmarked position - SlimServer could do a similar thing to resume from the last playlist/track position.

RE: [slim] Re: The SB2 appears to have some serious flaws!
Sorry Alex, I didn't see your post cause of the prepended subject line. The serious flaws part was cut off. The reason I suggested to select a playlist was I never plan on making the playlist ahead of time. I've got over 40,000 songs in almost every part of the spectrum and I forget what's in there sometimes. I just put random tracks on sometimes not knowing what's going to come out. I hear a song and want to add it to a particular list. I do agree that a selection option would get annoying if I were adding to the same list or building a particular list for a party or something to that extent. Matt This is basically what I was suggesting in my earlier post. However, I think that prompting you for the target playlist each time that you want to save a song would get time consuming.

RE: [slim] sometimes slow response from squeezebox
I'm running 6.1 on a win2003 machine with musicmagic plugin working. I have slimserver check my library every night. Now what I experience is that SOMETIMES the squeezebox 2 responds slow to remote control commands. It buffers the commands so they do get carried out eventually which makes operating the device very annoying.. press wait. Especially when holding a button to eg tune down volume this is annoying. Does anyone have this issue as well? and what can it be, and how can it be resolved? I have this problem from time to time. In my case it is caused after a slim upgrade or copying new music to Slimserver in combination with scheduled rescans. Sometimes a new version will handle scanning a bit differently and it will go into a scanning loop or some new music will cause it to go into a loop. Wacky tags are usually the root cause or m3u files with the same name of a song in the directory. Both cases result in the scanning continuing into the next day ect.. and a slow to respond SB. Try turning on some debugging and check the log files.

RE: [slim] Re: SB2 playback freezes
I've got the same problem. This does not occur with a particular song or album, but seems to occur randomly. The display scrolls and everything appears normal except that the playlist simply halts. It only occurs at the end of a song and will resume playing the next track when I press forward on the remote. Count me in. SB2 not synced. Last night loaded a 2 CD playlist. First song played fine but halts on 2nd song. Pressing forward on remote advances to next song. Using wireless at about 60% signal. Version 6.0.2.

[slim] Re: SqueezeBox2_Lite for remote control and display only?
3) You could get a palm sized computer (e.g., PalmOS or WindowsPC) to use as a remote. 4) I believe some cell-phones can be made to do this via software (e.g., Sailing Clicker) though I haven't explored this myself. Personally, since (3) would give you visual feedback and the others would not I think this is the best solution. I use telcanto on a Toshiba 740 w/ built in wireless controlling 2 SB2's and 1 SB and it works like a charm aside from being a bit slow (25,000songs mp3/150gigs). It also has a nice backup/restore feature that makes telcanto more affordable ;) The information contained in this e-mail is strictly confidential and for the intended use of the addressee only; it may also be legally privileged and/or price sensitive.

I get no errors at startup via --d_plugin I see the plugin in the web UI and SB. I get to the part where you press play and this is what I get. Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vo null -cache 128 -af resample=44100:0:1 -ao pcm -nowaveheader -aofile /dev/fd/3 rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/bbc7/0800_sun.ra?start=%2201:15:00%22 binmode() on unopened filehandle GEN52 at /usr/share/src/SlimServer_v2005-03-20/Slim/Player/Pipeline.pm line 119. /usr/share/src/SlimServer_v2005-03-20/Bin/sun4-solaris/flac: unrecognized option `--totally-silent' MPlayer 1.0pre5-3.4.2 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team CPU: Sun Sparc Reading config file /opt/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory Reading config file //.mplayer/config Reading //.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '//.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /opt/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/opt/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Using built-in default codecs.conf. Font //.mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully! (206 chars) I checked the flac options and it does not have an option --totally-silent just a --silent. When I look in Pipeline.pm at line 119 I can't make any sense of it, mainly due to my lack of programming skill:) Also when looking at the AlienBBC FAQ. It talks about transcoder_proxy.pl. The thing is I don't have one. I searched hi and low and no go. I'm wondering if its an old FAQ compared to the new way Mr.Tickle is doing things. I checked for port 5123(from Alien BBC FAQ) listening and I don't have that either. Is the proxy still being used? If so what starts it? Do I need a special codecs.conf or is the default ok.

RE: [slim] AlienBBC won't play
I can answer that and that would be a yes for me. I am using 3-20 nightly with SoftSqueeze. I changed the server settings and still no sound but no flac error either. That was with SoftSqueeze. I'll try SB when I get home.

If so there is a problem at present and we plan a new release to fix it..
