[slim] Squeezeplay 7.4.1 outputing audio only to internal MacPro speakers - why?

2009-10-07 Thread SteveWong

I'm trying SqueezePlay 7.4.1 r7834 on my MacPro, OSX 10.6.1.

All audio output from SqueezePlay only comes from the internal crappy
speaker of the MacPro, not to the external speakers.  All my other
applications are outputting to the external speakers per the Preference
panel setting.  Only SP is playing out of the internal tinny speaker.

Any suggestions?

[slim] Re: SLimserver hangs Mac System prefs, shutdown process

2006-07-25 Thread SteveWong

Thanks for above:
it turns out it was a conflict with a driver for a Keyspan networked
USB print server: removing that seems to have fixed everything.

Thanks

[slim] SLimserver hangs Mac System prefs, shutdown process

2006-07-23 Thread SteveWong

I'm having a devil of a time with Slimserver, both 6.3.0 and 6.3.1

System:
MacMini Intel 1.66 GHz, 2GB RAM, OSX 10.4.7
Slimserver was installed for all users but this also seems to happen
with one user install.
The squeezboxes and web interface work well despite all of this.

Problem:
Both are causing the system prefs to hang: clicking the slimserver pref
panel causes the system preferences title bar to say slimserver
loading and hang there.  If I run activity monitor at the same time,
it also hangs.

On shutting down (even if I don't attempt the above, ie right after a
restart), the Mac hangs and won't shut down.  I have to hold the power
button down.

I've tried:
1. Safe Boot - then deleting the pref panel
2. Reinstalling: on normal boot, it says Waiting for System
Preferences application to quit which it never does.
3. Reinstalling in safe mode, then immediately setting slimserver pref
panel to NOT startup automatically.  Rebooting normally causes all the
above to happen.
4. Removing ALL entries under user/startup items
5. Note the prefs application works with all other preferences except
slimserver
6. Sudo shutdown now hangs the system, no reports of the hanging
application.
7. Safe mode DOES reboot OK.
8. I recall 6.3.0 seemed to be problem free. Upgrading to 6.3.1 may
have caused these.  Reverting back to 6.3.0 doesn't help and all the
above happens.

It looks to me like the slimserver pref panel is causing a hang.  


How to fix it?  Searching all the posts for full uninstall on Mac
suggests only deleting the preference panel.
- Steve

[slim] Media Center version of Softsqueeze?

2006-04-05 Thread SteveWong

I've recently gone nuts with my Squeezebox setup at home: its made a
dream of whole home audio a reality.  I installed 4 SB3's and am
ordering a couple more (if they will still honor a 100off2 promo still
showing on the site).

One thing I love and it saves some money is that Softsqueeze works very
well and allows rooms with PCs in them to also synchronize the music. 
My office runs it now, and I want to extend this to the Media Center PC
which powers our TV as a DVR.  That way, we can still run a picture
slideshow and have the same music playing as the rest of the house, via
the existing AV setup.

I can run softsqueeze in the background (either headless or full) but
there's no easy way to control it via the Media Center's interface and
running to the PC to stop or start it via the Slimserver web interface
is a pain.

Any chance of getting a MCE-friendly version of Softsqueeze?

- Steve
