Re: [slim] Playing music not in SqueezeCenter library

2009-01-07 Thread aevans

I kind of had a stab at this before. see..
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52806

I have my library set up, but i'd also like to be able to play the odd
random mp3 from my laptop. This MP3 may not have correct id3 tags or
may just be junk i don't want messing up my library. 

I could easiy write a windows shell extension / applet which could
temporarily place the mp3 on squeeze center machine then make the
appropriate web/cli call to play it, but this would cause the track to
be indexed and added to the library.

Somone suggested changing squeeze center so that the 'playlists' folder
wasn't indexed but sadly this hasn't been done :(

Re: [slim] stopping at end of track

2008-08-18 Thread aevans

Had the problem again this morning and i had been syncing over the
weekend. Went into squeeze center and unsynced (softsqeeze was in the
list but not actually running or connected). 

After the unsync, everything was fine so it looks like this is the
problem.

[slim] stopping at end of track

2008-08-13 Thread aevans

Since upgrading to 7.1 i've had a problem where my SB3 stops at the end
of the track while its in 'random song' mode about 80% of the time.

Is this a known issue? I've done a search and can't see anyone else
with the problem. 

I had crossfade switched on and was wondering if it were something to
do with that. I switched it off this morning and the problem didn't
occur again but only tested with 3 tracks. I'll report on how it goes.

I reserved one in portsmouth too... they phoned just as i was pulling
into the carpark to tell me they couldn't find it in stock and the
closest pc world that had any was on the isle of wight! I got back on
the internet, reserverd one at hedge end (much closer) and picked it
up.

Re: [slim] Woke up at 3AM

2008-07-20 Thread aevans

This happened again on friday night, and yes i was using random mix
before going to bed in both cases. I'm sure that the bug posted above
is exactly the proplem i'm getting but is there a way to fix it other
than changing to a beta release?

[slim] Woke up at 3AM

2008-07-18 Thread aevans

Hi,

Last night i got woken up by my sqeezebox just after 3AM. This is the
second time its happened. I have an alarm set for 7AM so i just assumed
it was time to get up. I've checked the server log file but there is
nothing in there regarding it. Are there any other log files i can
check to see why this happened?

Could it be anything do do with my alarm? maybe the squeeze box's time
went temporarily 4 hours fast? How do alarms work... is it the server
that wakes the sqeeze box up at the right time or is the alarm stored
on the player?

Does this happen to anyone else? I've had a breif look arround.

Thanks, Andy
