Re: [slim] Classic FM HD Audio?

Because DACs do upsampling internally, which in turn makes the post DAC filtering (which used to be done in analogue) much simpler. The hardware has to filter out all frequencies above half the sample rate to avoid aliasing noise, if the DAC is done at 44.1 or 48 KHz then this needs to be a very sharp edged filter (which is hard to make) to both block the unwanted noise while not losing audible frequencies. If the DAC upsamples internally, then the noise that needs to be filtered out has doubled in frequency but the audio you are trying not to lose has not, so suddenly the filter can be both much simpler (and cheaper) and also higher quality since it has a much simpler job to do. So far so good, but then someone decided if the DAC can upsample internally it can also be fed that high a sample rate from outside, then marketing got hold of the idea without understanding sampling theory (hence all those fictitious stair step pictures of DAC outputs) and we find ourselves where we are now. ---- Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

According to sampling theory, you'd need a dog or a bat's hearing to hear the difference between 96 and 192KHz sampling rate since only frequencies above 48KHz benefit from greater than 96KHz sampling. 48KHz is already more than twice what humans with the best hearing can hear, why would we need more than that?

With just a Receiver and Boom sync'd, cabled ethernet from the same switch, I got several glitches per minute. It was unusable. I posted logs, turned up server logging levels on request and posted more logs etc. Never got any significant insight so I gave up. I could also never get SqueezePlay on my laptop to reliably sync with either the Receiver or the Boom. Instead I just run a Receiver into my hifi. Then to multi room the hifi I bought two pairs of Dynaudio Xeo 3 wireless speakers, one pair for the kitchen and one pair fo my study. Damned expensive for what they do, but worth ever penny. The sound quality is more than I could ever have expected, especially given the speaker positions. And now I can multi room sync FM radio or the TV if I want to. All I'm looking for from a SqueezeBox replacement is something like the Receiver ie. converts ethernet to SPDIF, but can handle up to 24/96 native without needing resamplng in LMS. If it could handle multi channel up to 5.1 FLACs that would be a bonus, but I'd need it as 5.1 analogue outputs (no HDMI audio in my AV amp) so that seems unlikely.

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
I am interested in this project but will be waiting until I can buy a complete finished item from a single source. I believe that means I'm waiting for version 2. I currently use a Duet Receiver on cabled ethernet behind the TV connected to my AV amp. This project sounds like a similar headless player with no user interface so it sounds an ideal replacement. It will be nice to be able to play 24/96 without downsampling, the Receiver needs these downsampling by the server (which I run on a WHS v1 box). Good luck with the project, I hope there is much life left in the SqueezeBox system.

Re: [slim] [Announce] iPeng 7, the iOS 7 Squeezebox App for iPhone and iPad
I've pretty much stopped updating any apps. Most are now doing a new iOS 7 styled UI, and in the process making the text too small for me to read. I've downgraded GoodReader to the previous version and avoided a couple of other upgrades having seen them on other people's iPads. I'm happy with how iPeng HD works so I can't see why I'd risk iPeng 7, though at least it's a new app and the old one is still there. Downgrading apps can be a painful process, since the only way is to delete them, re-install the old version and then re-enter all your configuration by hand. I just can't risk app upgrades any more, I don't have the time to do all the downgrades when I find the text is unreadably small. What is it with iOS 7 apps and text so small only teenagers with perfect vision can read it?

My other squeezebox devices take their firmware updates from the server on the network (which is updated once in a great while), not over the internet. The device should not, in general, be so buggy as to require frequent firmware updates. If it is, then I will put it in the box and send it back. The reason for my inquiry was to find out if it is known to have shipped before it was done and is therefore still a work in progress.

[slim] new radio -- are these known issues?
Just took delivery of three radios, took one out of the box, and noticed the following: - The radio tries hard to make me create a mysqueezebox.com account, which I don't plan to do, since these will get used on a LAN with no internet access anyway. - After switching tracks, I often get very noisy (scratchy) skipping for several seconds. (All I'm trying to do is play my own music collection from SBS running on a linux machine -- these tracks play fine on my SB3. You guys do still test the Vorbis decoder, right?) - When an alarm goes off, I get a loud, jarring ~250msec blast of sound (perhaps a buffer emptying?) before the audio silences AND THEN fades in. - The LCD doesn't seem to display Japanese/Chinese fonts at all. Are these known issues, and is the radio still a work in progress? The FAQ doesn't seem to cover any of the above -- just basic stuff like walking you through the install process. I'm seriously considering returning them if this is par for release quality software.

[slim] softsqueeze hangs at the end of tracks
Hello, and apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I'm using SoftSqueeze 3.8 (on WinXP) with server 7.4.x (on Ubuntu) and have found that playback often hangs at the end of tracks. I see lots of options in the debug log but don't know what red flags to look for among the reams of data. Any assistance with further debugging would be greatly appreciated. What I know so far: - the player switches to "stop" at the end of certain tracks instead of advancing to the next track - roughly 1/3 of my tracks cause this behavior (all of my library is stored in Vorbis (.ogg) files - any given track either hangs with 100% reproducibility, or works correctly 100% of the time (i.e. the hang depends entirely on the track) - the files are not corrupt, were ripped recently, encoded with mainline oggenc, and decode just fine on my (real) SB3 - the hang behavior is the same regardless of whether the SoftSqueeze is connected via LAN, tunneled over SSH built-in, tunneled over a Putty SSH connection, or connected through a VPN tunnel (i.e. I don't think network problems are involved) - I tried the Windows server (7.4.1) with the same result, so I don't believe it's a server problem.

To me it looks like when a smoothly-aliased grayscale font has been forced to a 2bpp rendering. (The glyphs show up as mostly black, with vestiges of the strokes.) > I have some Japanese tags and they look fine to me. Maybe you can take > a picture and show what you mean? I fixed it by reverting to servers 7.2.1 and 7.3.4 (which installed SB3 firmwares 113 and 127, respectively). Still closing in on the version that broke it, but it definitely was broken with server 7.4.2 and firmware 130.

Re: [slim] Japanese fonts
I can confirm that Japanese fonts aren't displaying correctly on my SB3 (firmware 130). The tags are correct (UTF-8) and they look great in the server (7.4.2 on Ubuntu) but on the SB3 display they show up looking badly aliased. To me, it looks like they were transferred as graphics and poorly resized on the fly. They're almost legible with the largest font size, but anything smaller shows up as mostly black.

[slim] Re: Qnap TS-101 Update
Thanks for your replies... well, I updated the firmware by updating and running a 6.3.1 SlimServer on my Mac, linking the SB3 to it and hey presto back to FW55. Went back to the list of apparently running/detected SlimServers and the TS-101 based "SLIMSERVER-01" was still there. Tried connecting to it and the SB3 screen just goes black. Had a go entering the TS-101 admin screen (no problem) and then changed it from 6000 to 9000 and I was back to "Safari cant open the page http://192.168.0.2:9000/. The error was: lost network connection (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)". So far, no joy. How can you check if a SlimServer is running correctly on a TS-101? It was pre-installed at Progressive AV so I don't even know how to re-install the software or if that would help.

Not an answer I'm afraid but a further question. Now I don't seem to be able to get the SlimServer to start. I'm running 6.3.1 on a QNAP TS -101 with a SB3. They are currently ethernetted into an ADSL/router to avoid the complication of Ethernet bridge and Wireless. All IP addresses are fixed and reserved. I have no trouble accessing SqueezeNetwork. I have reset the TS-101. I cannot get the Squeezebox Web interface up on my Mac on either the default address (http://192.168.0.2:9000/) or http://127.0.0.1:9000/. I can reach the TS-101 through it's admin interface I know the box is working but cannot check if the SlimServer is functioning correctly. When I go through the Squeezebox setup it brings up the correct Device name at step 4 (SLIMSERVER-01) but then once selected all I get is "Connecting to SlimServer..." If I leave it a while and power down and up again, it hangs on "Waking up SlimServer..." Many hours and permutations later I need help!

Re: [slim] Re: Security consequences of opening port 9000
Your network at work won't allow an outbound SSH tunnel? That is usually one of the few outbound ports that are allowed. You could try setting your tunnel up on a different port (80), usually the firewall/proxy are not protocall specific, however they can be. Ask your network admin (very nicely) to allow outbound SSH traffic.On 8/5/05, sbjaerum < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:chris Wrote:> I personally wouldn't do this.

[slim] SqueezeBox G Anomaly
I have just encountered an interesting anomaly on my SBG. Firstly I've created an SSH tunnel work to my Slimserver pc at home. If I actually run Slimserver on work PC the display on my SBG is fine. However if I stop the SlimServer and start the SSH tunnel the left most column of pixels has some pixels that are "inverted". In other words when the display is supposed blank they are lit and if the display is lit they are dark. If I reboot the SBG everything is fine until I stop the tunnel and re-establish it. It is always the same group of six pixels,and in the same pattern. I'm assuming that some extraneous data is being sent to the SBG. Any ideas, and is it going to harm my beloved SBG?

A proper application that sits in the tray should really be a full application that is available on demand. The slimtray app isn't really an app - it's a means to launch the app; not much more than a url shortcut.It's like "WinAmp Agent" - it only sits there providing a means to launch the real thing.It would be nice if there was an option in the installer to install the SlimTray app. Each time I upgrade the server, I have to remove it from the startup folder.Phil___Discuss mailing listDiscuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss-- Do meddle in the affairs of Dragons,for you are crunchy and good with Tabasco. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Re: Slimserver 6.1.1 cannot set music folder to network drive on XP
This is a Windows issue. Mapped network drives with letters are not available to services, they are part of the user's profile. In order to use the share you *MUST* use UNC notation, if you are using a disparet network (ie not Windows) you are out of luck. Also try having the service run as a named user and not as system (the default), you still have to use UNC notation but connection is easier/more reliable.On 7/25/05, dSw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I started having the same problem after upgrading to 6.1.To fix it, I first of all switched to starting the SlimServer appmanually after boot up (! couldn't be bothered setting up a newpassword-locked account!).
