Problems sometimes arise on non-standard setups (where iTunes is being run on a different box from the Squeezebox software for example) but generally it should work fine.

Re: [slim] What If Logitech Partnered with VortexBox?
I'm another recent convert to Vortexbox. We had a perfectly usable server powering the software before, but it was a power hog (the BIOS didn't support WOL) and not exactly user friendly for my better half. It's a very, very slick solution. Plug and play for those that want a turnkey solution but with the ability to mess around under the bonnet if you want. As for the USB point - I haven't found that to be an issue at all - I've see the thread on here but it doesn't reflect my experience. There are some fairly clear instructions to follow on the vortexbox forums and then all works as expected.

Re: [slim] no internetradio, though stream works on notebook
Assuming that you are connected to the software, not MySqueezebox.com, have a look at the server.log file (there is a link under Settings/Information in the web interface). What do you see in the log when you try to play a radio stream? The most likely cause is that something is stopping the software from connecting to the internet - this can happen if the software starts up before your internet connection is ready or if you have antivirus or firewall software configured in a certain way, or even if you've put in the wrong mysqueezebox.com password somewhere. However, some more info needed on your setup to narrow it down. The log file will help but also what hardware you are running the software on (PC on windows? NAS?), what version of the software, any antivirus or security software and whether you have checked your mysb.com settings are correct in the Settings page. The other basic bit of troubleshooting is to stop the software, reboot your router and let everything reconnect, then restart the software.

The normal problem with playlists is that the path isn't consistent between the way that the software sees your library and the way the playlist sees the library. As a basic check - can you locate a file which is in the lossless folder and should appear in a playlist and drill down using the Squeezecenter web interface until you see the track details including file path. Is this path exactly the same as the file path that is in the playlist to the same track (just open up the playlist in a text editor like Editpad or Notepad). The squeezecenter software needs absolute not relative paths. If the file paths aren't the same - that's your problem. You need to make the playlist reflect the file path to your track that the Squeezecenter library expects. Find/replace will do the job but you may need to change the path you're using in MediaMonkey for new playlists. If the paths are the same, then it's possible the playlist scanning isn't following the shortcut for some reason - if so it sounds like a bug. Can you look in scanner.log and do a playlist only rescan? The error messages should give an idea what the problem is. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] anti virus software affecting SB3 performance??
Anti-virus products, particularly those with "on access scanning" features can definitely affect the performance of the software used to run the SB3 on a local server. The most normal problems are with the anti-virus stopping scans from completing, but your problem sounds a bit different. However, if uninstalling Rapport fixed the problem, and you want to reinstall it, you need to look at how to configure it (Rapport) to ignore the Squeezecenter processes (which may include ignoring Mysql and/or *.myi and *.myd files). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] very slow scanning
A few things could cause this - a bit more info would help as suggested above. The scanner.log and server.log files may give you a clue. Are you using itunes or MusicIP integration or just the basic scanner? If your scan doesn't "take" (i.e. the scan starts up every time you start up Squeezecenter software) - that may suggest that there is a problem saving your scan cache. Windows 2008 is a server version of the software, right? If you go to the web interface, Settings/Information where is the cache being saved? The other thing to check (and again the scanner.log should help) is that you don't have any recursive file references - that can really hang up the scanner. Enable the d_scan field in Debugging, open up the log.txt field (at the top of the debugging page) and run a full "Clear everything and rescan". Keep an eye on the scan as it runs through. If you have a recursive link, or a bunch of files which are no longer where you used to put them, or a bunch of playlists which have moved (all three of which can be a cause of the behaviour you are witnessing) - this will show up in the log. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Playlists not showing up
The most common problem with importing playlists created via another app is that the file paths need to be consistent between the Squeezebox Server Music Library and the playlist - so if the playlist has as the path to your music files as "\\mediaserver\site" and Squeezecenter Music Library is set up to read "C:\site\", the playlist won't work when you import it. Squeezebox Server has no way of knowing that the paths are to the same song that is already in your library with a different file name. Luckily - there's an easy solution. A playlist is simply a text file with links to the files. If you open up the playlist in a text editor like EditPad or Notepad, and find/replace the path in the playlist from whatever it is to "C:\site\" (in the example above - you will need to work out what the file path is on your particular setup, and then do a playlist only rescan. If you run windows, I have a small script which will semi-automate the find/replace process for you. Another issue is if your playlist is set up with relative paths (i.e. the file paths start with "~" rather than the full path. Squeezebox Server needs absolute paths AFAIK (there is an open bug for this, but don't think it's yet implemented). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Playlist creation
Before you create playlists using Squeezebox Server, you need to have entered a playlist directory in Settings and make sure it is read/writeable by SBS. If you want to create your playlists in Squeezecenter, see this thread: Using Web Interface: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62042&highlight=playlist You create a playlist using the Controller in a similar way - add songs to the Now Playlist list, then scroll down to the end of the Now Playing list and there is an option to save it. You also create playlists using other bits of software (m3u or .pls format) and move them into the playlist folder which SBS reads. However, the file paths will need to be consistent between Squeezecenter and whichever sofware you are using - so if Winamp (for example) sees the path to your music files as C:/Music and Squeezecenter Music Library is set up to read //Music/ or similar, a playlist created in Winamp won't work. Once you've created your playlist in the other music management program, move the playlist into whichever folder you've set up in Settings/Playlist Folder and do a playlist only rescan. See also the Playlist Manager plugin which I think is working with the current release of SBS and which extends some functionality. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] "Add to playlist" - please help me
Add button behaviour varies depending on which bit of hardware you're using (and yes, there have been lengthy discussions about this, but it's a done decision).

Re: [slim] Internet Radio Gone
Can you access any internet radio stations via Squeezebox Server? If not, have you tried stopping the Squeezebox server and then restarting it (alternatively rebooting your server)? What sometimes happens is that Squeezebox Server starts up before the box running it has an internet connection available. It is therefore set up to run as if no internet is available, even though the internet connection has subsequently become available. If this doesn't work, what does the server.log file say when you try to play one of these stations? Could be a DNS issue. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Split album
Couple of other things to check: Are the files tagged with MusicBrainz Picard at all? There is a specific issue in 7.4 if files have been tagged using an old version of MusicBrainz Picard. The newer versions of Picard tag your files in a slightly different way and this is what is now supported in Squeezecenter. Running the files through the latest version of MusicBrainz Picard and rescan. Do the files have Disc tags at all and/or are they compilation files? If one of the files has a DISC=1 tag and the rest don't, that may give the behaviour you are seeing. Finally, are you sure the file is split into a different album - rather than duplicated in both albums? If the track appears twice , the most likely cause is that the duplicate track is also listed in a playlist. When SC scans your music library folder and playlists, it adds all individual tracks to your Music Library. SC determines what an individual track is by the file path and name. If your playlists reference your songs in a different way to your music library folder, SC does not know they are the same song but assumes they are two different songs. So M:/Media/Song.mp3 in a playlist and //ENT/Media/Song.mp3 (music library) will show up twice in the library. Easy to sort. Amend your playlists so they have the same file path to your songs as SC has set as your music library (in the example above //ENT/Media/Song.mp3). Any text editor which supports find/replace will do this however (just open up the playlist, amend the file paths and do a full clear and rescan). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Depending on what the other wireless devices are, it may not be a complete comparison. The Boom requires a steady, uninterrupted stream of signal and a low signal strength may be perfectly satisfactory and a high strength does not guarantee quality. Simply repositioning the router up a bit can help a lot. A laptop computer (for example) gets data in intermittent bursts rather than a continuous stream, so will usually function better and show better signal strength than the Boom (because it measure the strength differently). If you're stuck with your router position and already on the best channel, then upgrading your router may be a good option. I get much better coverage from a recent Netgear RangeMax (not dual band) than my old Belkin router. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Wireless performance on mixed networks: answers!
dsly, before you shell out for a new router - have you tried the basic troubleshooting steps set out in the wiki? Things like repositioning the router (higher up better, away from other electronics) and changing the channel can make a massive difference, depending on your environment. I have two other wireless networks near me on channels 12 and 13. 1 or 6 should be my best channel, but for some reason, the channel 7 signal is much better. I also have my router in the middle of my house (i.e. the middle of 3 floors) which works better than having it on the ground floor where most of the electronics are. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/NetworkProblemsSecondGuide -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] SB3 bricked? (perpetual reboot)
Even on a wired network it will still have an IP address (assuming it's wired to a router) - or is it directly attached to the box that is running Squeezebox Server? If you're using a router - may be worth trying powering down the SB3, rebooting the router, then bringing the SB3 back up with a full reset. Also, is the firmware that the problem SB3 is running the same as the others? That's most of the basic troubleshooting I can suggest - supp...@slimdevices.com may have more ideas, but it does sound like it could be hardware if everything else is working fine on the same system. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] SB3 bricked? (perpetual reboot)
EL, have you tried the factory reset that alcor mentions? 1. Disconnect the power 2. Press and hold "Add" on the remote 3. Reconnect the power 4. Release the "Add" button when you see "Factory reset..." on the screen You will lose your settings on the SB3 (menu customisation etc). If this doesn't do the job, there are a couple of things that may be causing this behaviour. Couple of things to check is that the IP address of your SB3 isn't conflicting with anything else on your network (assuming you're running wireless). Also, check the power supply is properly seated in the SB3 - do you have an alternative supply you could try? Finally, is there anything in the server.log file when the SB3 reboots (error messages)? If you have an old plugin that isn't compatible with 7.4.1 that might cause a reboot and the server.log file should show this up. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Streaming from computer's line out
There are ways to do this - search for the WaveInput plugin for Windows and Linux for example which is squeezebox specific. You can also use Icecast to create a stream which the Squeezebox can tune into. However, streaming this way will alway introduce a networking delay so it is usually not practical to use to watch DVD as audio will be out of sync with video. If you have a Boom, you could use the "Line-in" port to play audio from the PC speakers. There is a possibility of using something like VLC or mplayer which can alter video/audio relative timing but it is a bit hit or miss. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Perhaps I can add a real world example. I have a whole mix of Slim Devices hardware round the house - SB1/SB2/Classic/Controller/Boom in normal use. During the beta testing, I set up the Radio in my kitchen (taking one of the Classic's out of rotation). I also have a weekly cleaner, who has never even touched or showed the slightest interest in any of the previous hardware. Within two weeks she had got to grips with the Radio (no prompting from me), selecting local music and radio and (big grrr here) even programming some new presets. She didn't actually realise it was internet radio at first but instinctively got to grips with it. The kicker is that, even after I've shown her how the Classic and Boom work (i.e. the same way) she won't use them - just doesn't get it. She carries the radio round the house with her, plugging it in as she goes. The Radio works for her, period. It may not make a huge amount of sense, but there it is. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? "-Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.

I'm a big fan of the Classic too, but the Touch works pretty well for distance use. It has a proximity sensor so when you are up close it uses a small sized font, and when you use a remote (and the proximity sensor is not triggered) it uses a larger font. Easily usable from 5m imho for selecting and playing music.

Ikabob;460372 Wrote: > HOWEVER, we are extremely dependent upon the wireless service and on > Logitech's support and databases. The SBs could be reduced to mere > paperweights. Let's not think about that. Nevermind. When I started using Squeezeboxes, there was no Squeezenetwork at all. You had to use Squeezecenter if you wanted to connect to internet radio or similar. If Squeezenetwork was finished as a service tomorrow, you could still use your existing hardware with Squeezecenter, and if Squeezecenter was withdrawn tomorrow, you could still use the latest iteration of the software for as long as your computer hardware would support it. I know this isn't quite the point you are making, but it's not true to say the SB's could be reduced to paperweights. The potential difference is that you brought your Squeezeboxes with the intention of only ever using Squeezenetwork, which I didn't. That being so, I would imagine you understood the potential limitations of the service. Squeezenetwork is not a replacement for Squeezecenter by a long, long way - it is essentially a light-featured external server with support for internet radio and certain music services. Personally, I do wonder if Logitech should do more to make this clearer to prospective purchaser. I also agree that Squeezenetwork functionality could be improved with things like playlists, but I suspect the changes that would be needed to support individual playlists are not trivial. I hope this comes across ok - I'm not disagreeing with what you say at all (well, other than the paperweight bit), but trying to explain why I expect SN to stay feature light compared to Squeezecenter. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Spotify?
If you search, there is a long thread on this already (and a load more besides) - will try to summarise my understanding: A Spotify plugin (third party or native) depends on Spotify releasing a useful API for developers. What has so far been publicly released is not an complete API, and is limited to a specific architecture (x86 C) so no good for Squeezenetwork and certainly not cross platform, so next to useless for SC (although there is at least one poster who disagrees with me on that). I have no idea what private development may be going on with Slim Devices or anyone else, but SD developers have said it is functionality they would certainly considering adding if the commercial arrangements and architecture are there. It has been a regular request and there is an enhancement request on bugzilla that you can follow for updates. In the meantime, DSBridge or Waveinput plugins will allow you to stream output from Spotify to your Squeezeboxes. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Thanks Twitter is the only "social network" I use - I like my online/real personae to stay fairly separate, not least because of the work that I do and the company I work for. The best thing about it is that it's an amazing real-time search engine, and you pick up stuff you'd never hear about otherwise.

Re: [slim] Tweet this album/song option?
I use twitterfeed to post my recently played tracks (using the Last.fm RSS feed) - however I have it set up to run every 12 hours, and only one track gets posted each time. Figure that's a reasonable balance between putting up music you like against filling up people's feed with info they don't want or need. A Twitter app was raised when the Facebook app went into beta testing. The response from one of the devs was that it there will probably be a Twitter app at some point in the future, but Facebook was the marketing department's preference (which makes sense imo - even allowing for Twitter's amazing growth in recent months, Facebook is the largest social network). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?

Re: [slim] Original Squeezebox doesn't work with Apple dual band routers with WPA2?
Gotcha. How are the two parts of the network identified? Do both have separate SSIDs? Are they on the same subnets? It sounds like the Squeezebox can "see" the a/g/n part of the network ok, but just won't connect - is that right? If you unsecure the a/g/n part of the network, does the Squeezebox connect ok?

Re: [slim] Original Squeezebox doesn't work with Apple dual band routers with WPA2?
I'm a bit confused by your post - and this is probably me not understanding the TimeCapsule setup - you say that the A/G/N bit you want to connect to has WPA2 enabled, but then you refer to it as "open" portion. Does open mean "unsecured"? Assuming that the part of the network you want to connect to is WPA2 secured, when you say "original" squeezebox, which one? If you have an SB1 (the Squeezebox of the Hardware comparison) rather than an SB2 or SB3 (now called Classic), then it only supports WEP. Not much chance of an update to sort that out, I'm afraid. If you are using a Classic/SB3, that supports supports WPA Personal, WPA2-AES and 64/128-bit WEP encryption.

Re: [slim] Help/Sad - SB3 just "bricked"
The Logitech warranty is "your Logitech hardware product shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for two (2) years, beginning from the date of purchase." I believe this is worldwide, but it may depend where you purchased it (as local law requirements are different the world over) It gets more complicated when you've purchased it from from a third party vendor, who normally only refund or exchange for one year, but the manufacturer warranty should still be valid for an additional 12 months. Slim Devices (i.e. the division of Logitech based in the US) used to do out of warranty repairs for a $90 fee or similar, but not clear if this is still offered - others outside the US have reportedly been told by Logitech that repairs are not available.
