 There's no issue using -O as all it does is report the player type as
 softsqueeze instead of squeezeslave when connecting to SC.
 
 Did you create a new player by adding a never used before MAC address
 by adding a -m00:00:00:00:00:03 to the command line after adding the
 patch?  SC seems to remember the player type settings from the first
 time it's created.
 

Thanks. That was the issue. I had used a different MAC address, but it
turned out to be one I had used earlier while testing something else.
Using a never before used MAC address solved the issue. 

BTW, is there anyway to make SqueezeCenter clear its player information
cache? It would be nice to make SqueezeCenter forget about all my trial
squeezeslave instances.

 Okay, the progress bar status is a know issue with squeezeslave and
 since pause seems to be working correctly in 0.8-26, despite the
 progress bar, I'll consider the issue a TODO item.  It's not an issue
 with Squeezecenter. 

Okay. I agree that as long as playback is fine, this is not really a
big deal. 

BTW, I also tried the ReplayGain change you suggested a few post before
and I still do not get ReplayGain as an option for the squeezeslave
player. Should I just use the -O option and not worry about this? Is
there any reason not to use -O. It would be really great to have
ReplayGain working.

 I've sent you a PM regarding the binary.

I sent you the binary via email.

 This is not expected behaviour.  Unfortunately, I don't see the pause
 problem.  I use the 0.8-25 win32 binary all day, every day at work and
 pause it constantly.  The track starts exactly where I paused it.  I do
 it so often that I've mapped the keyboard audio keys to run a cli script
 to pause/unpause squeezeslave from my windows manager on Solaris.
 
 This could be related to the version of SC I'm still running 7.2.2 -
 r24134 at work, actually at home too.  What version of SC are you
 running?  I'll install that release on my test system to see if I can
 replicate the problem.
 
 Would you download a v0.7.5.1 binary from sourceforge and see if pause
 works with that release.  If it does, then please try 0.8-12 and report
 back on your findings.  This will help me narrow down what change may be
 causing the pause problem.

The pause problem seems to be different from what I thought I was
seeing. The player does start playing correctly at the paused point. It
is squeezecenter which does not correctly start the time slider at the
pause point. I am running SC Version: 7.3.2 - 24695. I have confirmed
this behaviour with my older squeezeslave 0.7.5.1 binary on linux as
well as the v0.8-25 win32 binary from sourceforge.

 I too still have the stuttering problem using alsa.  I've gone back to
 using oss emulation with alsa as it's rock solid.  Unfortunately, you
 loose the ability to share the audio device that way.  Thankfully, this
 hasn't been an issue for me.

The stutter problem is not too bad, as I said consistently on a couple
of tracks, but nothing on most of my music. Since my squeezeslave sits
on a MythTV box, it needs to share sound and the alsa version does seem
to work better with my spdif output than aoss which I was using earlier.
I read KeyzerSuze's post, but not knowing anything about PortAudio, I am
not sure what to make of it. If the pause problem appears more
frequently as I listen to this setup, I will see if I want to delve
into it some more.

Thanks for posting the cli script, that could be useful as

 I just stumbled across a new clue. For me, squeezeslave 0.8-26 does not
 actually start the song over, it just gives that appearance. The time
 progress bar starts over but the song starts from where it was paused.

Thanks for confirming this. Looks like a SqueezeCenter bug. I am also
seeing this with squeezeslave running with the -O option, but not with
SoftSqueeze.

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2009-02-11 Thread SamG

I also recently compiled squeezeslave-0.8 on a Fedora x64 system. It is
working pretty well at the moment, though there are a couple of FLAC
files on which it consistently stutters. 

One interesting thing I noticed was that hitting the pause button on
the web interface and then hitting play starts the current track from
the beginning. I am pretty sure that version 0.7 did not exhibit this
behaviour. This occurs with or without the -O flag. SoftSqueeze on my
Windows PC does not do this. Rather it starts the track from the point
at which it was paused. Is this the expected behaviour or a bug?

I tried attaching the binary file in case you would like to post it on
SourceForge, but the gzipped tarball exceeded the forum file size
limit. Please let me know how I can upload this file. This was compiled
for v0.8-25 with alsa support, portaudio v19 and the daemonize patch
applied.
