The Vortexbox is normally run headless (without a screen) so you can use anything with a browser or Ipad touch etc. It may be possible to get it working with a touchscreen attached, but I am not going to worry about that. Andrew is talking about the Vortexbox player which gives you hires, but not gapless, no syncing and no spotify. I have also tried softsqueeze install which does all bar hires. There are instructions for installing squeezeplay over at vortexbog.org forum; although there is no out of the box installyet Personally I think one of the reasons why Logitech is letting the touch go is because squeezeplay is the tweakers player. The touch is just a hardware implementation of it, and I bet they don't make much per unit. foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
Mark me down as interested. I think you have got the feature set pretty much taped; certainly for what I want. Can I suggest that you start looking at the time-scales that you would realistically want people to cough up cash and how that would work? foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When you make a correction you are attempting to force the sound profile to fit an ideal curve, maybe flat, maybe harmon curve or some other "ideal". To do this the correction will reduce the voume of peaks and increase the volume of troughs throughout the audio spectrum. Sometimes the increase in a trough maybe too much for the amplifier (or speakers) to handle and can cause clipping. By reducing the overall gain you give the system leeway to increase the volume of the troughs but still to stay under 0db. When you are getting a peak of +2.66db I think that is referring to the amount of boost to a particular frequency that is needed to cancel out a trough, and is a guldeline to the overall gain that you should be applying to avoid peaking over 0db. i.e. -2.68db. foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99132 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Adding a Wiim Mini to your LMS system
I have just bought and setup a Wiim Mini. There is no native Squeezelite support yet, it is still relying on UPNP Bridge for running, and I am getting intermittent dropouts. I have posted this on the WiiM forum. Potentially it is something else as the device is new. foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116444 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Adding a Wiim Mini to your LMS system
Yeah I have found that the issue is that the Wiim was connecting to a remote node in my mesh network. It was tricky to resolve, as the Wiim doesn't have an option to reset the Network, even following a reboot. So I had to turn the Mesh off and connect the Wiim to a different wifi network by resetting it - the wifi settings are not cleared by a factory reset so this took me a while to figure out. I also just found out that my TP Link deco have a firmware update that would allow me to map devices to specific nodes in the Mesh network, which would probably have been easier to do if I had upgraded earlier. Anyway it doesn't appear to be a Wiim issue. foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116444 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
