Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
hi pippin, another query for you (you must be exhausted fielding all these support questions!) - for albums which span multiple discs and have discnumber tags, would it be possible to enhance the albums screen to insert a divider between different discs eg Disc 1, Disc 2 etc? really enjoying the app so far and finding more to love each time i use it! cheers! -- bodajmac bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
working well for me after initial hiccups with album art - the app seemed to get as far as halfway through the S section of my library (c. 22000 tracks) then apparently stopped. however, using the flush cache option in settings seems to have solved the problem so now all that time spent retrieving album art seems thoroughly worthwhile. great work pippin, thanks very much! -- bodajmac bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Converting to Apple Lossless
that's normal, itunes does retain the original file. one way to do it might be to convert everything then simply arrange your library by file type by clicking on that heading, then select all the mp3s and then delete them - slightly clunky, but easy enough! -- bodajmac bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32249 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: End of song is cut off
i've been having this problem with apple lossless and aac files and am very keen to try and get on top of the problem. i'm using the latest 6.5.2 server build for windows, am streaming apple lossless as wav using alac and aac as wav using mov123. i have one particular song i'm using as a test case - it's ideal for the purpose as it ends very suddenly, and my suspicion is that the cutoffs are possibly only a second or less in length, so wouldn't be noticed on a lot of tracks. the same track ripped to apple lossless or aac will miss the final chord or so on playback, but when ripped to mp3 will play in its entirety. suspecting the transcoding process i output the whole file to wav using alac at a command prompt - this produced the complete file with end intact, which would seem to exonerate the transcoding process of any blame. can anyone suggest any of the debug options which might be of use in diagnosing this problem? can the log file record whether slimserver actually played a track right through to its end? one further interesting point is that applying the 'Play only selected song' server setting seemed to have the effect of allowing the sample track to play through to the end some 2 times out of the 3 i tested it with that setting on. to my mind this suggests that there might be something buggy about the way in which slimserver handles transitions between tracks when those tracks are aac or apple lossless files - can anyone with more technical knowledge than me offer an opinion as to whether this sounds likely as an explanation of the problem? any input very gratefully received! -- bodajmac bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32135 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: end of songs chopped off!
hi nick, exactly the same issue here, anything up to 10 seconds can be clipped off the end of tracks and the following track seems to start hot on the heels of the previous one. i too have got a mixed itunes library of mp3, aac and apple lossless files. i'm currently in discussion with slim devices (logitech?) support and i'm waiting for further suggestions after establishing that neither my antivirus nor firewall settings were behind the problem. this has been discussed in other threads and some posters are advocating a return to slimserver 6.31 as the problem seems to have appeared subsequent to that release. this is ok as a workaround but i want the issue sorted so i can work with the latest software release and not have to change the management of my collection using itunes. anyone got any ideas? thanks in advance for any help! -- bodajmac bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31953 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

i'm suffering from this bug as well, with a combination of apple lossless, aac and mp3s. the cut-offs seem to vary in length according to the format i'm streaming in - alac flac cuts off around 6 seconds before the end of a sample track, alac wav cuts off with 3 seconds to go, and alac mp3 cuts off a good 15 seconds before the end. i'm currently using SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11004 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 and have noticed a number of threads and bug reports along similar lines but without apparent resolution. i'm in touch with slim support but have had no substantive reply as yet. anyone got any ideas for further troubleshooting or workarounds? -- bodajmac bodajmac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31755 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
