Re: [slim] How do I stop Bob Dylan from sneaking into Aimee Mann?
Thanks for your detailed instructions. I tried and tried. Learned way much more than I ever wanted to know about Linux. Gave up and installed it onto the flash drive of the T5720 - AND IT STILL DIDN'T Work!. So took the hd, put it into another pc - and guess what - it was the HD that was corrupted. I just happened somehow to randomly use several corrupted files. So - reformatted the HD, re-copied all my music files to the HD - and at last all works. True I gave up on Linux - but at least I have squeezecenter running very quietly on windows XPe on the HP thin client. Nice. What I wanted in the end.

[slim] How do I stop Bob Dylan from sneaking into Aimee Mann?
I have posted this on the linux forum, but no luck, so thought I'd try here. I may be trying the impossible, but I really want it to work. I have installed linux/squeezecenter on a pendrive and am running it on a thin client hpt5720. Well almost! It works fine for radio etc but if i tried to play music - very weird things happen. Skips, jumps, plays other bits of songs in the middle of the one I am listening to - very disconcerting to have Bob Dylan burst into the middle of Aimee Mann even if only for a split second! 1. I have 2 of the original Slimp3s (which I love and are hard-wired into my LAN and built into the walls of a purpose build construction 2. Installed Linux Mint 6 because it had all the codecs - good I thought - and it was very easy - onto a 4GB pen drive following instructions from pendrivelinux.com 3. Installed squeezecenter 7.3.2 - 24612 4. Installed lame v 3.98 via apt-get 5. Set to DHCP 6. Music mounted from NAS drive via mount -t cifs . and it all seems to be fine. music scans in. I get the right number of albums etc. 7. HPT5720 is only for squeezecenter. It's an AMD Geode DX1500, 1.0GHz w 512 SDRAM and 512 Flas Ram with winXP embedded and is wired into the network 8. All the music (700+tracks) is MP3 - mixed bag of speeds/rates. Then I go to play it - and yuck! Again - and it's with every song. Not just one or two. Always. Except Internet radio which works just fine so at least I can get Radio Paradise ;) I set the player-audio-bitrate to 320 (with LAME noted as installed correctly) and Lame quality=9 I can't diagnose network or performance issues with the plugin because it doesn't work with SLIMP3s. So - any ideas? This is such a perfect set up I want it to work ba.

Re: [slim] Songs stutter/skip - where do I start?
Spent all day on this trying to understand. Have lame installed, have mplayer installed - works fine according to the test. radio plays fine - no skipping at all - so I figure it is a server problem. I have set and unset a zillion options - nothing seems to work. I have set the slimp3 player from 320 down to 64 - no luck. I have set - via adv-network (I think) the max wma bitsream rate from 320-128 and back (don't know why but I did) - no change. its a slimp2 so there is no network test available. i have set via adv-perforamnce service priority to 20 - no change.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I've tried to go through the 49+ pages of this forum and just want to make sure I've got this right. I have 3 slimp3s hardwired (built into the walls actually) of a house connected into the multiroom audio system. The controlling PC sits in a cupboard in the garage, also hardwired into the LAN. I like have the screen visible - use them for weather,time,alarm,train scheds, news ... the whole shebang. It works just like I like it Except for those times when I want to peruse the music, albums covers etc to play music. I have toyed with the idea of the Nokia800 but it seems that the new controller may be the better (faster though less expandable) way to go. Is this correct? To get it to work with my system pf slimp3, is all I have to do is: 1) buy the controller 2) put a wifi access point into the house LAN 3) upgrade slimserver 6.5.x to slimserver 7.x Also - does one controller work all 3 slimp3 separately - is there like on the server a pull down list of which slimp3 I want to direct the commands to? thanks -- bouton bouton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=539 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] streaming vs remote control versus gui... confused
I am somewhat confused between whatis happening where in streaming, the remote control, the gui etc. What I'd like is a nicer GUI for the few times I use that interface to control my two slimp3s. I am in the process of writing one (and learning perl with my background in php) that I think would meet my needs. Then someone pointed out Jinzara which says it works with slimserver via streaming. What does that mean? I can use Jinzara as a GUI to control playlists, library etc, then also use my remote control to move back and forth between songs, search from slimp3 etc. Is that right? If so maybe I should concentrate on getting jinzara to do what I want (ie adding slimserver settings etc, rather that start from re-learning perl etc as my brain is getting too full these days what with xml,javascript,ajax,php,sql,...) thanks Katherine -- bouton bouton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=539 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19111 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Because I have been gathering bits and pieces recently, and frustrated at having to search through pages of forum material - very very useful but difficult to filter, I have taken kdf to heart, and have been plugging away and editing and adding some wikipages, including putting up some slimserver documentation. Hope thats ok.
