[slim] Issues With Internet Radio & Podcasts
Ive recently moved from a Cable broadband ISP in the city to a satellite-delivered ISP out in the country. Not surprising, Im having issues getting Internet Radio to stream, and podcasts to run through the SB podcast player app. The most common problem is when I request an Internet radio station or podcast, I get a Timed Out message on my SB. I assume this is a result of the latency in using satellite for internet (I'm assured by the ISP that I don't have a bandwidth issue). I was wondering if there were settings buried in SB Server that would allow me to enlarge the window of time for an Internet radio service or podcast to fill the buffer before SB gives up on it, based on misinterpreting the stream as unavailable. Also, in light of my unusual ISP circumstances, does it make sense to go into Squeezebox Server and decouple SBS from mysqueezebox.com? My thinking is that the interaction between the server and "the cloud" may be adding to the problem.

[slim] Correct Operation of SB Controller
As per another post, my Controller stops displaying artwork after a period of time. Perhaps to put it more accurately, the Controller stops displaying artwork after a number of album/podcast/internet radio selections (i.e.: it may not be a function of time but rather a function of the number of call-ups for artwork). Anyway, this behavior coincided with my upgrade to SqueezeCenter 7.1.0. Im not attributing it to that but the undesirable behavior certainly wasnt present prior to the upgrade. The only work-around Ive been able to come up with is to power off and then power on the Controller. This got me thinking that perhaps the expectation is that the Controller is to be powered-down after the user is finished with it. Up until this problem, I always left the Controller powered on and let it fall into its sleep mode. So, with that long-winded explanation out of the way, how do you use your Controller? Do you power it down when youre not using it? Was that the way Slim Devices/Logitech intended to have the Controller used (its not explicit in the manual)?

Re: [slim] Controller No Longer Displaying Artwork
AVG Free (ver 8) doesn’t allow for file extension exceptions. Exceptions are limited to folders. Since the *.MYI and *.MYD files go to temporary folders I didn’t think there be any point in invoking the exception. Besides, when I access SC 7.1 through a browser, album art images load very quickly – almost immediately. Also, a poll on this forum shows a large proportion of SC users are running AVG. I can only assume they're not having this problem. The key clue to me is in the Controller itself. If I power-cycle the Controller, images load on the Controller reliably. Over time, however, the images stop loading. Anecdotally, it seems directly related to the number of images (i.e.: album covers, podcasts, Internet radio stations) that are called up. Power-cycle the Controller and I’m fine until The Controller reaches it’s ‘limit’. The Controller shows me running the latest s/w version. I also did a factory reset at one point to see if that would improve reliability of the Controller. No change unfortunately… Any thoughts/suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated. -- ShutterShock ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51262 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Went through the other thread. The main difference is the other problem was consistent whereas the behavior I'm observing seems intermittent.

[slim] Controller No Longer Displaying Artwork
I upgraded from SqueezeCenter 7.0 to 7.1 over the weekend and have discovered the Controller no longer reliably displays album artwork. In addition, artwork from web based sources (Podcasts and Internet Radio) no longer consistently display on the Controller. If I power-cycle the Controller, album art loads somewhat reliably but in very short order, it stops appearing. Ive confirmed the images are loading in SqueezeCenter via the browser interface (albeit not that quickly). It appears theres something stopping the images from 'being sent' to the controller (or are they 'pulled' from SC by the Controller?). Do I have a setting on SC 7.1, or in the Controller that needs changing? Any other thoughts? BTW, Im running SC on a 2 GHz Core 2 with 2 GB of RAM. The content is on a Drobo/Droboshare NAS.

[slim] SqueezeCenter Sluggish
Hoping the Slim Devices community can help me track down the reasons why SoftSqueeze is behaving sluggishly. Everything was working perfectly up until I made some changes last weekend. First, here's the 'working' configuration before I made any changes: - Win XP Pro - SqueezeCenter 7.0 - Drobo/Droboshare - AVG 8.0 Antivirus Last weekend's changes: - Same mother board/CPU - Same HDD - Same Drobo/Droboshare - New case/power supply - Replaced recent model DVD burner with an older CD burner - SqueezeCenter 7.1 - Fresh install of Win XP (home edition this time) - Kespersky 7.0 antivirus replaces AVG Prior to making these changes, SqueezeCenter was incredibly responsive. Even when calling up a huge folder (50+ tracks), SqeezeBox would begin playing immediately. The only exception was my Playlist folder where SqueezeCenter/Drobo would have to 'think' for a brief period before the list would populate. Now that behavior occurs no matter what folder I call up. If a track is playing and I select a different track for another folder, it can take over 15 seconds for the new track to begin playing. When I look directly on the SqueezeCenter UI, 'Loading' appears and the list builds quite slowly. Even jumping down to another track in a populated list results in a delay before the track begins to play. One hint could be my router. With all this rework last weekend, the router locked up. When I recovered it, it's DHCP was handing out weird IP addresses (e.g.: 99.xxx.xxx.xxx). Even the gateway address didn't start with the typical 192.168.x.xxx. It also started with 99. I eventually got the router to serve up a 'proper' IP address, along with giving itself a typical gateway address but I wonder if the router is responsible. Or could Kespersky be causing the problem?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Through Windows XP ICS
Ideally I want the plug 'n play approach. In fact, I guess that's what my original question is (I'm probably making the explanation way too complicated. Sorry about that). Put simply, with Slim Server on an XP machine which is also running ICS, will Squeezebox have any issues 'finding' Slim Server? The LAN where Squeezebox and Slim Server/ICS are connected is all wired. The only wireless part is the link from the ICS/Slim Server computer to the neighbor's Wi-Fi. That wireless link is how the internet is delivered to the LAN where Squeezebox, Slim Server/ICS are located.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Through Windows XP ICS
Thanks for everyone who chimed in with suggestions. Unfortunately, I don't have the flexibility to change the configuration as I originally described it. It's not actually my installation. I'm doing it for a relative on a very tight budget and they insist on not changing what the already have. Selling them on the idea of Squeezebox was a major effort. So, the configuration I originally described is what I'm stuck with despite the excellent suggestions in this thread. With that in mind, when I plug Squeezebox into and ICS PC (which will also be running Slim Server), will the ICS box grant Squeezebox an IP address, thereby giving it access to Slim Server? I'm thinking yes, in light of the fact that when ICS is activated a DHCP server is created as well. Put another way, when Squeezebox is initially connected, it should 'look like' its connecting to a router.

Bit Rate Limiting on SB1 is off. (It's a very short run via ethernet to my router and slim server). Don't have LAME encoder. Are you thinking that may be required to transcode the flac and ape files? Didn't use to be an issue be perhaps there are licensing issues since my last SS upgrade? Also, as a last resort I did check all the boxes and SS is smart enough to un-check the ones it can't support (e.g.: those needing a LAME encoder). Quick related comment... In SS, you can pull down the file format menu from 'server settings' and 'player settings'. I initially thought these were seperate files where the individual player files would override the server settings. It looks like I was wrong... It's all the same file.

Is this what I'm after? -- ShutterShock ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] flac on SB1
Just did my first slim server s/w upgrade in ages. I have an SB3 and everything is fine there. I also have an SB1, however, which no longer plays flac or ape files. In checking the Slim Devices Wiki, it indicates that slim server must do the transcoding for flac. I have flac checked off (the 'built-in' option) but still no luck on the SB1. Any advice? Thanks. -- ShutterShock ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Newbie Q: Slim Server on an Infrant ReadyNAS X6
Was hoping to get insights from anyone whos had experience running Slim Server on an Infrant ReadyNAS X6. Specifically, -How would you characterize the performance? -What functions/operations are slow? -What Slim Server features are not supported when installed on the ReadyNAS Radiator O/S? -Are there any issues with decoding FLAC or other lossless files? -Is there commitment from both Slim Devices and Infrant to evolve this combination? -Are there better NAS based solutions for Slim Server/Squeezebox? Thanks! BTW, I've also posted these questions on the Infrant forum. -- ShutterShock ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20475 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
