[slim] playlists, itunes, etc.
Hi- I am running squeezecenter (sc) 7.3.1 on my basement server running os x 10.5. I has 3 squeezeboxes, sb1 and sb2 flavors. I'm finding the playlist features of sc to be very limited. Maybe it's me. I've also installed slimfx and don't find the playlist features to be very useful as well. I've installed erlund's sql playlist stuff as well and it didn't do what I want. Maybe it's me. All I want is to be able to do what you can do in itunes:have a pane with a list of playlists and drag and drop individual songs of my choice into any playlist I want. If I can do that using the web interface for squeezecenter or slimfx, then please tell me how. It just seems like I have to be constantly maintaining the now playing playlist but since I'm trying to dynamically add songs by listening to a collection of songs, I don't see how I can listen to a song first and then decide if I want to keep it in a playlist or not. At least I can't figure it out. So I thought I would use itunes to make and manage my playlists. All I want is for itunes to see the existing library on my server. It seems to want to move files around which I am hesitant to do since I remember a long way back that it could screw things up for slimserver. I've changed the location for the itunes libary, but nothing is happening: no list of music appears when I click on the library - music icon in the left pane of itunes. I really could use some guidance here... my goal for the day was to make a large playlist for a party we're having tomorrow and I haven't gotten anywhere. -- egizzi egizzi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57147 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SB1 Not updating firmware
Hi- I just bought a used wired SB1 at a garage sale, looks great, basically unused. I'm running squeezecenter 7.3. It connects fine (sees the server, gets the right addresses, etc.). Then the problem begins: 1) It asks for firmware update 2) I hold down brightness for a few seconds 3) It jumpts to the Now Playing screen and is frozen. It never enters the screen where the firmware updates 4) Then I unplug it and start over. Same thing. Ideas?

Re: [slim] SB1 Not updating firmware
Still in original box, remote in plastic bag, ethernet cable still with wire-ties, no scuffs, etc. Owner said they won it at some event a few years ago and never used it. -- egizzi egizzi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56476 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] OS X tiger cannot see server
I have a powerbook running os x tiger 10.4.7. When I ran panther, I could see my server running slimserver fine. The browser accessed slimserver via http://gizmonet:9000 When I upgraded to tiger, I lost all access to the server. The server is running debian sarge. Now when I enter http://gizmonet:9000 i end up at http://gizmonet.blogspot.com If I try to ssh in, I enter a password (it never asks me for which account), and the password always fails. I have another computer (windows 2000) running wired connection to my network and it can see slimserver fine, and I can log into the server via ssh. The powerbook cannot see the server whether it is connected wirelessly or wired to the network. The powerbook does connect to part of the network though because I can successfully print using a network address to my network printer. I realize this may be beyond the scope of the slimserver forum, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -Elio -- egizzi egizzi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30287 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] connect sb2 to router
Hi- my wireless router is in my basement. my sb2 is on the second floor. wireless signal is weak. i'd like to run an ethernet cable from the basement router lan port to the sb2 (have open conduit to do this). that will connect the sb2 to the wireless router via wired cable. but i'd like to be able to surf from my laptop on the second floor wirelessly. i believe that means the sb2 will have to act as a bridge. yes? do i need a crossover cable for this? thanks -- egizzi egizzi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21532 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: connect sb2 to router
Well then what I'll do is run another wireless router up to the attic and then connect the sb2 to that. Then I'll be able to use the sb2 wired and surf wirelessly upstairs. I thought it acted like an access point, but I misunderstood the use of the term bridge.
