[slim] Mysqld.exe runs without SqueezeBox Server
I have been checking my running processes using LookinmyPc Inspector trying to sort a PC problem and noticed an instance of Mysqld.exe (13 threads and 8788 kb) . The only product that uses Mysqld.exe on this PC is the Squeezebox Server, yet this is not loaded as a startup program and it was not running when I found mysqld.exe running. This may not be a problem or even related to my problem (my PC periodically freezes) but it seems curious. Can anyone advise please? -- juniper Version: 7.3 - 24282 Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.8.8 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69461 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Mysqld.exe runs without SqueezeBox Server
... but I take Jim's point. It then makes no sense to switch it off when Squeezebox Server is switched off.

Re: [slim] Can we avoid inflamatory titles?
I like this forum very much. I have received lots of helpful patient advice and sometimes when I have felt brave enough contributed some ideas, help myself. I have no personal experience of being flamed, trolled, nor have I seen any instance of it. That maybe is because the threads I follow do not attract that type of abuse. I am however worried with the idea of moderation because of the risk that it it could be perceived as a form of control by the authorities in this case Logitech. It appears to be a bit sledgehammer to crack a nut, and lock down a really useful thread, which may have been running for some time. Surely it is better to remove an offensive post, if more than n members have complained, as an alternative to a moderator locking down a thread which they perceive to be going inflammatory. Other alternative approaches to the problem have also been proposed in this thread. Is there any way that we the members / peers could vote on what we feel to be the most appropriate way of dealing with the problem. We are all grown ups and members of this SB community. -- juniper SlimServer Version: 6.5.5 - 12638 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43308 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Release 7.0 advantages? and when?
The more I follow the thread and also read comments in the Beta forum, the less I feel inclined to make the jump to Release 7.0 until it becomes official. There still seem to be too many unresolved BETA issues, that may be fun for techies to comment on and try to resolve but could be a nightmare for the less technically inclined. -- juniper SlimServer Version: 6.5.5 - 12638 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42272 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Release 7.0 advantages? and when?
Jim - I would like to take it asap. I then looked at the Beta forum and there seem to be problems with the most recent builds.

[slim] Release 7.0 advantages? and when?
I read in this forum at the start of Dec that. the target date for an official 7.0 release was to be 5th Jan. That has come and gone. a)Is anybody able to explain in a nutshell the selling points of 7.0 over 6.5.4 please? b) When is the formal release now likely to be available to ordinary non techie users like my goodself? c) If still some time off - is there any point in downloading 7.0 beta - following on from a) and b).

Re: [slim] Musicovery.com can it work on the Squeezebox?
I have now listened to Musicovery using the Wavein plugin release 1.02, and it works. However despite my earlier expressions of joy on discovering Musicovery, I do now have some concerns particularly that their free Lo-Fi (32 kbs) option sounds pretty miserable on my SB via the soundcard, and I would not yet be prepared to pay a monthly subscription to their Hi-Fi (128 kbs). Mainly because although I am intrigued by the Musicovery approach (see www.musicovery.com) I am not sure that I would want to pay regular money to experience it at an acceptable level of quality, and I think that their range is narrower, shallower and often repetitive (same title different artists in same selection / multiple titles same artist (and often not that worthy of selection) in same selection. -- juniper SlimServer Version: 6.5.5 - 12638 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35114 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Musicovery.com can it work on the Squeezebox?
Now that Pandora is technically unavailable for non US listeners, tho of course Last.fm is still with us - praise be. Slimmers may be interested in trying out www.musicovery.com. It enables the user to access streams based on mood, genre and epoch - and it is quite neat. I hasten to add I have no vested interest. My question is as non tech expert, how on earth can one listen to it via the Squeezebox. I will think about it myself, but would be interested if anyone else would like to check it out and post their ideas.

Re: [slim] PC + SB3 + Wireless Speakers - possible?
These two questions are probably so basic that I apologise. but if you dont ask you will never know My 1 x SB3 is currently connected to my old stereo amplifier which feeds the speakers. Posters here have talked about having multiple SB3s (lucky them) - does this mean multiple amplifiers? Q1. Must an SB3 be connected to an amplifier or can one connect an SB3 direct to speakers without a separate amplifier. If so disconnecting the SB3 in Room 2 and taking it to Room 3 and connecting it to the second set of speakers appears practical. Dragging other equipment around isn't. Q2. Does the wireless bridge function of the SB3 help in any way with connecting additional speakers in other rooms? -- juniper juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32379 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] PC + SB3 + Wireless Speakers - possible?
Can anyone advise please? My original plan was to buy wireless speakers to pick up sound from my PC. This was before my kids bought me the SB3 for my birthday - nice kids!. My PC is in Room 1. My new (fantastic) SB3 is in Room 2. It is linked to my old stereo amplifier and speakers (also in room 2) and I am happy with the sound. I would also like to listen to whatever when I am working in the kitchen. How can my SB3 communicate with speakers in the Kitchen - room 3 or somewhere else room 4? I do not want to drag the SB3 + amplifier and speakers around the house every time I want to listen to whatever in a different room.

Thanks so far I am mulling over the input to date.

Re: [slim] PC + SB3 + Wireless Speakers - possible?
Thanks Cshaida. I really appreciate the interest and contributions over the past hour or so. I will look at the other threads and wherever else is worth looking. I must admit I thought that my need was not unusual, and was probably quite a key requirement for receiving internet audio information in a household. The idea of switching the audio feed from room to room as one moves around sounds quite appealing. The SB3 has enabled the first key step of enabling one to receive and control internet sourced audio at a distance from the PC. What I think I like is the idea of the wireless router being the prime transmission coordinator, and the PC being nearly as much a peripheral as other equpment . I see this is achieved in Squeeze Networks which can run independent of the PC. Thus I would like the router to transmit signals to the SB3 and then onward via the amplifier to both local and wireless speakers. -- juniper juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32379 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] PC + SB3 + Wireless Speakers - possible?
Thanks Aubuti. Sadly extra SBs are out of the current budget. What I would really like to understand is how I could technically achieve this with wireless speakers. I have read that the Saitek A-250 is a reasonable wireless stereo speaker - possibly not at a quality that would appeal to Audiophiles but good enough in a busy household during the working day. -- juniper juniper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32379 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
