[slim] Flickr on an SB Controller - how?
Hi, How do I get the Flickr App to work on an SB Controller? It used to show up on my Home menu but said no account and to go to Mysqueezebox. I did this and added an account and authorized it successfully. However now the Flickr icon has vanished from the SBC Home menu and the My Apps submenu. I've tried enabling and disabling Flickr in Mysqueezebox. Tried enabling and disabling show on Home menu. Tried rebooting the SBC many times. But Flickr has refused to show its face again. What have I done wrong? Running 7.5.1 on Linux. SBC is at 7.4.1-r7915 -- alanj Cheers Alan Koolu (Ubuntu 9.10) + SC 7.4.1 feeding == SB3 - Cyrus 6vs - KEF iQ7 SB2 - Super T amp - Mission 771 alanj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80667 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 7.2 Upgrade Woes
Hi, I also get exactly the same problem, following an upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2. Anything I can do to help PD it? Squeezecenter is installed on a Koolu running Ubuntu 7.04. Tried using browsers on a windows XP box. Even installed Chrome and tried that. All give the same errors as above. So not a browser issue I think. I've also tried clearing the library and rescanning. Didn't change anything. Problems: Main UI window does not respond when any of the following items are clicked on... Music Library Albums Artists Genres Years Dynamic playlists Playlists responds but does not display any of my playlists. Just a blank screen All others respond as normal. The right hand pane either shows an empty selection or shows the last played title/album art, but shows loading Trackstat displays on the browser but does not work when selected via teh remote. It allows you to navigate but does nothing when you try to play anything. All the above functions used to work perfectly under 7.1 I made no other changes apart from the 7.2 upgrade. I've got firebug installed ... but don't really know what it's telling me. I haven't seen the error reported before, all I see are Posts to jasonrpc.js repeating every 20 odd milliseconds. +---+ |Filename: slim2.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5796| +---+ -- alanj Cheers Alan Koolu + SC 7 feeding == SB3 - Cyrus 6vs - KEF iQ7 SB2 - Super T amp - Mission 771 alanj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51872 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] The Microwave effect
Interesting. I've replaced an old noname microwave with a brand new panasonic. Old one never interfered, but the new one kills the SB3 every time. Panasonic seem to be the common item here don't they. I have found that simply closing the kitchen door or even standing in the doorway blocks enough to allow the SB3 to carry on working, although I'm not sure I'm entirely happy being a human shield! -- alanj Cheers Alan Koolu + SC 7 feeding == SB3 - Cyrus 6vs - KEF iQ7 SB2 - Super T amp - Mission 771 alanj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52027 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
Hi, Well I have got the connection to SC on Linux to work now. Needed the following changes ... Edit the server.prefs file and change 3 lines, all close together. Look for the bindAddress. Change from 127.0.0.1 to your servers IP. Also add the server ip to the allowedHosts line. Change the hostname on the dbsource: line as well. Above is best done with slimserver stopped so the file isn't updated while you are editing it. I also had to create a new user in the slimserver MySql with access from anywhere and grant it access to the slimserver tables. Finally edited the VB script line 41 to use the new IP userid and password. The script then runs and retrieves data from the remote Linux server. Sadly I am now stuck. lol All albums are reported as Various Artists - as per other posts where no compilation directory is set. I haven't yet found out how to add the Linux path of my compilation directory correctly. I suspect either or both the lack of a drive value ( c: )or the slash directions. Whatever I have tried in the compilations directory field ( full unix path with or without quotes ) causes the script to fail with a message reporting that the script is causing IE to run slowly. Why IE? No idea. Also no album art at all is retrieved, presumably due to paths again. I have copied my music data to my Windows box and installed a local copy of SC7 and the script runs fine against it. Only niggle I could find is when displaying the tracks from multiple albums. It would be nice to add a disc number sub heading. Sorry to ramble on. Thanks for an excellent script Frank.

[slim] Grouping multiple albums, how does it work?
Can anyone explain how the Group multiple albums option works? ( using SC7 ) I have it turned on but am not sure what results I am supposed to see? Should I just see a single album rather than 2? If I play the first should the second automatically follow? ( Neither of these appear to happen ) How should multiple albums be ripped to facilitate this option? I have many formats such as CD1, CD 1, disc 1 etc picked up from freedb. Should there be an option to list all that are acceptable? Or should I change them all to a single suitable format? If so what? Any clarification most welcome.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer

Thanks for that, all makes sense now! I was getting confused with the folder structure.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
Hi Frank, Well been delving on my Linux server and found as already pointed out by Fletch that only local connections are enabled. This should be dead easy to change as it is only a setting in the my.cnf file to alter the bind address from the current 127.0.0.1 to whatever your servers ip is. lol However I have tried that but the my.cnf file gets overwritten and reset to the original every time I restart it! Very annoying. Don't suppose anyone knows what in Slimserver is resetting the /var/cache/slimserver/my.cnf file do they? I think it is being created from a /var/share/slimserver/my.tt file but not sure how to change that to set the correct ip as it isn't a straight copy but full of variables. -- alanj Cheers Alan Koolu + SC 7 feeding == SB3 - Cyrus 6vs - KEF iQ7 SB2 - Super T amp - Mission 771 alanj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41597 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Simple amp speaker setup
Well I can recommend the Sonic Impact Super T amp. Currently seems to be $160. ( http://www.si5.com/products.php?pID=4004 ) I use this in my bedroom coupled to Mission 771 speakers. Clarity is really very good. Fantastic soundstage. Plenty of power for my room ( 12x14foot ) although I never use it very loud. Amp runs cold so I leave it on all the time - as it's my alarm clock now.

[slim] Alarm volume inconsistency
Hi, I've just been bitten by the inconsistency in the volume values used by the SBx and Slimserver. This is where the SB itself has volume of 0-40 while the Slimserver ( specifically the alarm settings ) shows 0-100. So setting 25 on the slimserver gives an actual volume of 10 - not what I expected. I see this was discussed back in 2004 ( 2004-02-25 SqueezeBox Alarm ) but nothing seems to have come of it. So can I make a plea for using a consistent value/range? So that I don't set the volume accidentally low and am late for work again! Personally I'd vote for using the 0-40 settings as that's the figures I am most familiar with through using the remote volume constantly. Its the rare excursion to the Slimserver alarm settings that confuses.

[slim] Re: Alarm clock lockout
Many thanks Dean! I upgraded to the 6.2.2 nightly of 16th March which upped the SB2 to firmware 35 from 28. This seems to have fixed the odd alarm behaviours completely.

[slim] Alarm clock lockout
Hi, I'm having a problem with my SB2 locking up and refusing to respond to the remote control. This happens in a very particular situation and does seem to be reproducable. Wireless SB2. Slimserver is current stock version on windows xp home. I use the sleep function to turn off the player at night ... while it is still playing. ( Think this is important as I don't think I have a problem if the playlist has already ended by the poweroff. ) I have an alarm function to wake me up again using a Random Song. In the morning the SB2 does indeed start up at the correct time however it seems to loop through the last song or 2 from the previous nights playlist rather than play the new Random Song playlist from teh alarm function. ( Hard to tell exactly as i was asleep at the time! ). It displays Random Song mix on the display which appears to have locked. The remote has no effect at all. The screen savers do not kick in. The only way to resolve this is either to physically power off/on the SB2 or go to the Slimserver and turn it off from there. Interestingly all the functions from the slimserver to the SB2 seem to work, I can change volume or select different songs, but until the SB2 has been turned off and on the remote refuses to function. Any suggestions on resolving this? Any PD I can do to help?

[slim] Re: Music scan under 6.2.1 problems
Well this is getting very annoying! I have now downloaded and completely reinstalled slimserver 6.2.2 I ran the Slim.exe directly so that I could see its console and any output it might produce and voila! On the first run it gave an error about a missing Flac. Ok I removed that album from my music folder completely, deleted the cache and ran it again. This time it found a second corrupt directory. Again I removed that and even ran a full Checkdisk to ensure my disk was clean. I've now run a full from scratch scan again and nothing has appeared on the slim.exe console. however I still only have 581 albums listed. One of my newly ripped albums now appears in the list but not the others. I am guessing that I still have a corrupt file somewhere that is causing the scan to fail. But how on earth am I supposed to find it? I have 2 questions really. 1) How can I see what the scan is doing? Can it produce some sort of log? 2) Should a corrupt file really cause this sort of problem? Surely the software should be capable of a) reporting any errors it finds and b) skip any duff files and keep on scanning. Any help would be much appreciated.

[slim] Music scan under 6.2.1 problems
Hi, I've just noticed a problem with the New Music scan function since upgrading to 6.2.1 I have a daily scan scheduled to look for new and changed music, so after adding a few new albums I expected to be able to play these the next day. However they did not appear in the Slim server list. So I ran a manual New and Changed music scan. Still no new albums found. I then ran a Clean library rescan. This resulted in my total albums found dropping from 601 to 582. Yet I still have 601 album directories in my music folder. ( I rip each album to its own directory ) Oh and still no sign of the new albums. I then deleted the cache directory and rescanned. Same result, I only have 582 albums found now and not the newest ones. Any ideas as to what is going on and how I can PD this? Oh I'm on Windows Home XP+Sp2 Cheers Alan -- alanj alanj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18516 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
