Re: [slim] PCMag review of Touch
He's right. What is the point of having a touch screen if it supposed to be used with an A/V system which is probably IR controlled? The SB3 or Transporter are much more appropriate and easier to read than the SB Touch and the SB Radio and SB Boom, with their built in speakers, are much more appropriate for almost any other application. To me, and I may be wrong, the SB Touch totally misses the mark, whatever that mark is. They should have combined the Radio and the Touch into one product. -- newy newy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] PCMag review of Touch
To me it just seems like a touch screen would be way more suited to the Radio so that I could actually use it. To each their own though I guess - I'm sure the Touch fits some consumers setups/needs perfectly. -- newy newy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] PCMag review of Touch
IMO, the SB Radio would be better suited to a bedside headphone rig as it could double as an alarm clock (if the alarm was reliable!). I think the same applies to most desktop situations. I do see the argument for it to be wall mounted although there are probably better options... I love my SBoxes (when they work) but to me, and obviously that reporter/reviewer, the Touch misses it's mark, whatever mark that was. -- newy newy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
...the beep seems to occur when a certain function is triggered (ie turning off program, clicking the binoculars, clicking the music notes, etc.). I have to go into my sounds settings and disable the events checkbox. I really like the app but you asked for feedback so here goes: 1) When you click on an album when browsing by artist the songs should show up by track order, not alphabetical (already mentioned earlier in thread so I'm sure you're aware of this). 2) I don't really use playlists and like to listen to entire albums. When I highlight a track and click the play icon the rest of the album should play out. Is this possible? 3) Would like to see where I am in an album when I'm playing it. Something like Track 5 of 10 below the Artist - Album display would be great. 4) The graffiti alphabet is a bit weird. 5) When I close the app by pressing the red power icon I would like to run it in the background and be able to re-access it quickly by clciking on the task manager icon when on the WM Today screen. Could see how this could create confusion and extra data charges issues though... 6) Would like the option of running the app at less than full screen so I can still see the time, network, and windows icons on my phone. 7) Not crazy about the iPhone drag and watch it keep going style of navigating. Much prefer a side scroll bar. 8) Support for side scroll-wheels and hard-buttons will be awesome. That's all for now.

Re: [slim] Controller and Transpoter Display - How to Sync?
I thought I was losing my mind but now I know how to reproduce it (the problem). Sorry for the long post but here is what's happenning: Windows XP computer is asleep. I wake it up by pressing Power on my Transporter. Computer wakes up and I press Power again on the Transporter to power it up. I select a song , press play and listen to some tunes. All is good except for the fact that the Transporter's display does not go to the Now Playing screen saver, nor does it dim itself to Level 3 (from Level 4) like it's supposed to. If I use the Controller to select the next track it plays fine fine but on the Transporter it shows the new song's name for about 2 seconds and then reverts to the last Transporter menu that was accessed. Again, it stays on Level 4 brightness indefinitely. The only way I have found to fix this problem and get the system working like it should is to Power off the Transporter and then Power it on again. Everything works fine then, I have the computer set to go into standby mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. If I let that happen I get the same odd behaviour from the Transporter's display. I recently installed the Really Prevent Standby plugin but I think it was happening before I installed it. Confounded. Any idea what could be going on?

[slim] Going into standby when computer is set to Always On
OK, weirdness happening for sure and I'm sure if I can figure this out then the rest will fall into place. My Transporter puts my computer into standby mode around 80 seconds after an album is finished even though I have the power setting set at Go into standby after 15 minutes. This has perplexed me to no end. I performed these tests several times with the power state set at Always On. I manually put the computer into standby mode when I had to by pressing the front power button (Dell Tower). 1) I wake computer using a slight movement of the mouse. No matter what I do in SC, with the Transporter or with The Controller, it has no effect on the computer - it stays on indefinitely. 2) I wake the computer using the Transporter's remote or The Controller and do nothing else, the computer wakes up but goes back to standby after around 80 seconds - EVEN THOUGH IT IS SET TO ALWAYS ON!!!

Re: [slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song
OK, weirdness happening for sure and I'm sure if I can figure this out then the rest will fall into place. My Transporter usually (but not always) turns my computer off around 80 seconds after an album is finished even though I have the power setting set at Go into standby after 15 minutes. This has perplexed me to no end but now I think I know why. I performed these tests several times with the power state set at Always On. I manually put the computer into standby mode when I had to by pressing the front power button (Dell Tower). 1) I wake computer using a slight movement of the mouse. No matter what I do in SC, with the Transporter or with The Controller has no effect on the computer - it stays on indefinitely. 2) I wake the computer using the Transporter's remote, I go to the last track of an album and press play. The track plays out (hence the album finishes) and around 80 seconds after the last sound is heard the computer goes into standby mode - EVEN THOUGH IT IS SET TO ALWAYS ON!!! I can't figure this out. I've checked the hard-drive for errors, the network card says it's working properly and has the latest driver, etc. Can you think of why this is happening???

Re: [slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song
I live in a condo/loft building too but my unit is 2 floors and cabling the unit is unfortunately just not an option (WAF). Hard-wiring would help to isolate the problem but I really don't feel like unhooking it all right now (lazy I guess - maybe next week). Because I can reproduce it now at whim I really don't think it's a signal/connectivity issue but some setting that I might be missing... Maybe an incompatible router (D-Link WBR-1310)? -- newy newy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55158 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song
My library is 99% ALAC files. Only using the XLR outs of the Transporter. Streaming/File Types specs are as such: Apple Lossless - FLAC - Disabled Apple Lossless - MP3 - Disabled Apple Lossless - WAV - ALAC These settings have always confused me. Should I change the FLAC row from Disabled to alac/flac. What format would SC stream my files to the Transporter if both WAV and FLAC rows are enabled? -- newy newy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55158 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song
Sorry, it just goes into standby mode. A push of the Transporter's Power button wakes it up again. I have it set to go into standby after 30 minutes of inactivity. This problem only appears in the first 4 minutes of an album. If it can get by that, which it usually does, then it will continue without incident to the end of the album. Could be a bad computer part I guess, but I doubt it.

Re: [slim] Streaming to Windows Mobile 6.1 device
This would be really cool if you can figure it out. I have an HTC P4000 (also called a Titan, 6800 and a whole bunch of other things depending on where you live) and it would be awesome if I could stream my 1000 album ALAC collection to it. My iPod would then be relegated to flying duties only! Just a (probably stupid) question, are you trying to stream via wifi or a cell provider? I have an unlimited data plan (Telus) but I doubt it would be fast enough to stream music, but then again, I've never tried.

[slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song
I have a problem that happens about every 6 or 7 albums I listen to. When I use the Controller to choose an album it plays the first 3 or 4 minutes no problem. All of a sudden the lights on the Transporter display go out, the music continues to play for 10 seconds or so and then the music stops. I have to turn the power back on to The Transporter via pushing the power button on the remote or the unit itself. I can then use the Controller to continue playback and I'll have no problems for the rest of the album. I can't figure it out. Any ideas where I should look to try and correct this issue? Thanks!

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter 7.2 start-up hiccup?
I still don't have any music from my two thousand dollar Transporter. I can't seem to get SqueezeCenter to open. I am running it on a pretty much music serving dedicated PC with XP SP3. How do I check the port 9000 blockage? I'm not running anything else so I doubt this is the problem but you never know. I turned off the firewall and restarted the computer to no avail. What am I looking for in the event log? When I mouse over the blinking icon that sits in the bottom right menu it says SqueezeCenter Starting. Uh, don't think so.

[slim] Transporter Turns Off Too Quickly After Album Completed
Hello. My Transporter shuts itself off around 90 seconds after playing an album to the finish. Is there a way to set this to something around 15 minute mark? It is superbly frustrating because when the Transporter has shut itself off the Controller tends to lock up. My wife, who's been trying hard to learn how to use the Controller, yesterday referred to it as a P.O.S., chiefly due to this feature. Not cool for a system costing upwards of $1,800.

[slim] Duet Controller, Transporter and Amplifier Volume Control
Ah, here you all are! Forgive me if you have read this post before but I just found this forum after posing my question on the Beginners and DIY forums. Here is my situation. I have a Transporter w/ the volume output fixed at 0db. I have a Duet Controller. I have a Cambridge Audio 840v2 Receiver (with IR IN jack). Question: Can I control the Receiver's Volume Up and Volume Down functions using the Duet Controller and an IR Blaster coming out of the Transporter and/or having the Transporter's IR OUT jack connected to the Receiver's IR IN jack via a mini-mini cable? I have been told this is not possible but would like to see if anyone on this board has had any success using an IR Blaster with a SB3 or Transporter along with the Duet Controller.
