[slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date
SqueezeCenter lists 'New Music' based on modified date rather than created date. Therefore if I go through updating artwork, or any other tag data, I lose the natural order. The created date is untouched, and seems to be much more reliable for reflecting when files entered my library. 1) Can I use this for determining new music instead of the modified date? 2) If not, as I suspect, does anyone know of a utility to update the file modified date based on created date? I've found a few which allow manual stipulation of a date, but not which will perform batch updates based on another value. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87887 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Android Controller App
erland;621578 Wrote: I'm pretty sure that's always going to be the case as long as the third party offering exists, Logitech will limit themselves to the basic functionality because they aren't ready to invest enough to maintain all the extras, so third party solutions will always offer something more. We have seen exactly the same thing earlier with SlimScrobbler plugin and also with Spotify plugin. The issue, as already mentioned earlier in this thread, is that some users are going to be satisfied with the basics and won't buy the third party offering when they can get the basics for free from Logitech. The result on longer terms could be that third party developers no longer feel that it's worth to compete with Logitech since a significant part of their income probably comes from the users that deside to use the Logitech provided solution. So, even though a Logitech provided Android app might feel like a good idea, I am a bit worried about the consequences on longer terms. Hopefully I'm just unnecessary worried, but... It would feel a lot better if Logitech tried to work together with third parties instead of competing with them since they both want the same thing, more Squeezebox customers. I agree completely. The way I see it though there'll always be a distinguishing feature - Logitech are never going to introduce native playback into a free app while their meat and potatoes is selling hardware players and the server software is also free. Therefore anyone who isn't Logitech and is interested in developing a rival product MUST have that feature if they want to charge for their offering. If that's the case then I think, as consumers, we have the best of both worlds - a free official controller, or quality, paid, added-functionality third party players. I just hope Logitech aren't going to take moves to prevent that happening. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng vs. Android apps...?
I have both iPeng on an 8GB iPod Touch and SqueezeController on a Nexus One. iPeng is a more mature product and is therefore more robust and has been through one or two visual overhauls. SqueezeController is less mature with the very occasional glitch here and there but I wouldn't say it's flaky by any means. Some might say the navigation is slightly more intuitive, although the cosmetics are still being worked on (I'm helping out on the beta programme). One major plus for Android is the lack of restrictions on what is and isn't allowed. For instance, downloading tracks or whole albums / artists at a time to local storage is implemented in SqueezeController, but apparently disallowed (though theoretically easy to implement) by the Apple Police in their infinite wisdom. It's the principle of that which really jars for me to be honest. In terms of applications, until one or other brings streamed playing in first there's little in it. Both will take the place of a Controller easily. You're better off focusing on your other demands for the device. If it comes down to Apple vs. Android, I'd say that rests largely on whether you're someone who likes an easy, always-works-in-its-potentially-prescriptive way approach or something more flexible, open source with the pit-falls that go with it.

Pippin, this is a really good release. Thanks for the time and effort, a vast improvement over 1.1.2. One thing though that I was really hoping for was the default screen when viewing the main menus. When you click the left arrow from the Now Playing screen, it always takes you to the settings page. In all likelihood I'm going looking for more music to play, not change my settings. I tend to browse by Artist or, possibly, by Album, so I have these dragged down to the shortcut bar at the bottom. Could it remember the page you were last on (between sessions too), or failing that default to the first of the 4 shortcuts?

Re: [slim] Album Art acting weird!
Album Art is definitely one of the more arcane areas of SlimServer. SS sometimes uses the album art embedded in the file's tag, sometimes (various) file(s) in the file's folder. I don't pretend to understand what it does when, but it does at least give an explanations as to why you're seeing one version of the image in one page and another elsewhere. I don't know the specific answer to your problem but from issues I've had in the past you could check the following: - Stop SlimServer - Put a copy of the graphic file you want to use as your artwork to one side. Delete all other graphic files from the folder. - Strip the album art from the tag using Tag+Rename. Even better, remove all tags from the album's files and start afresh. There are various flavours of tag and not all apps deal with all of them. I know that T+R does and it's solved seemingly intractable problems for me in the past. - Drag drop the file you'd put to one side into T+R to embed a version into the tag. - Place a single copy of the file in the folder as folder.jpg - If you're using MusicIP ensure that it's picked the files up afresh now that the tags have been rebuilt - Restart SlimServer - Clear library and rebuild Hope this helps... -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36840 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Slim Tray icon disappears
Sorry if this has been brought up before, but couldn't find anything with the search. Occasionally I find that the Slim tray icon disappears, usually when I try to double-click to open the browser interface. slim.exe continues to run and I can browse directly to localhost:9000 to get to the interface, though occasionally I've also had issues with not being able to navigate through my library and had to restart. I don't even know how to get it back without logging out and back in. I'm running 6.5.3, XP Pro, Norton Internet Security 2005. Any and all help appreciated. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36809 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Why did my album art stop working properly?
Are you running MusicIP? If so you'll probably have to let that build its library before SS picks it up. I've got to say the machinations of the SS library are becoming increasingly arcane and correspondingly hard to diagnose. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36197 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 loses connectivity while in standby
You could also try a factory reset (disconnect power and hold down Add on the remote while reconnecting power). I have to hit the power button twice to get mine to reconnect as someone else suggested. I find a factory reset fixes it for a while and then it comes back again. Not very satisfactory, but I'm living with it. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35020 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] What role does MusicIP Mixer's library play for SlimServer?
I was just wondering how SlimServer and MusicIP Mixer fit together. A few times lately I've updated tags or added to my collection and found that no matter what I do SlimServer won't pick up the changes or additions until MusicIP has. This entails running up the application, waiting for it to finish the scan and saving the library cache - the headless version of MusicIP doesn't seem to be very good at keeping on top of the contents of my music folders. This is all basically fine, but I've forgotten to do this enough times now and done enough head-scratching before I've remembered to fire up the MusicIP front-end to make me ask the question: Does SlimServer use MusicIP's database directly? -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35694 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the tips. I've got signal strength up to around 65%-75% on both players now, which I'm happier with. Still no effect on the switch-on issue though.

[slim] Double press of power switch to switch on SB3
I have two SB3's in a wireless setup, one in the lounge and one in a bedroom. The lounge is getting around 65% connectivity, the bedroom around 45% - not perfect, but no real problems. I've noticed some strange behaviour though with the bedroom unit. If the PC's been switched off it doesn't automatically detect SlimServer running and hook itself up, whereas the lounge one does. If I hit the power button it goes through the cycle of joining the network and connecting to SS, but fails. If I hit the power button a second time while it's in this process, it connects straight off! Once connected it behaves perfectly until the PC is powered down. Any explanations for this? While it's predictable and therefore not hard to live with, it's not great on the wife-friendly scale.

I changed channels just to be sure and hey presto, all was wonderful again. NetStumbler is indispensible for diagnosing this on Windows - don't know if there's a Mac flavour or something similar. The other thing to look at is your network architecture. Presumably you're wireless because you don't want wires, but is your Mac wired to your hub? If not, would you be able to?

[slim] Alarm functionality - off after...
Is there any alarm functionality I'm missing to switch off after a specified (or even fixed) amount of time? This should be on both SlimServer and SqueezeNetwork. The other day I had a change in my routine and forgot to switch off the alarm. Since I wasn't at home to turn it off on my way out as I normally do I had visions of it serenading the neighbours for days until I got home. Fortunately it was connected over SqueezeNetwork and I was able to disconnect it as soon as I got to a PC. If I could have the alarm auto-off after, say, an hour that would be great. If it is the case that I've just not found this somewhere I'd be grateful if someone could set me straight, otherwise I'll raise an enhancement request.

[slim] Q on wired / wireless connection from server to router
Recently, following recommendations in the forum, I amended my network set up so that the server is wired to the router, rather than relying on the wireless network. However, it seems that the only way the Squeezebox can connect is to leave the wireless connection on the PC enabled, which implies that it's using that rather than the ethernet. Am I missing something? The router is a Netgear Wireless ADSL DG834G. Many thanks.

I browse by Artist 9 times out of 10. What would be REALLY nice would be the ability to customise the order of items in the 'Browse by' list. I never browse by Album so having that come up first is a real pain. Other than that I use MusicIP and LastFM, but I'm largely happy with how they work. The important thing is to get the very basic 'out of the box' usability right to ensure the product appeals to Jo Public and his / her significant other half. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32202 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
