Re: [slim] Synchronization for dummies
Alan, I know you've done great work in getting sync to work reliably. However what's still needed is an Apple style UI which makes it easy for the user to understand what they are about to do. The underlying complexity should be hidden and have the UI and players work differently makes it hard to know what will happen. I think it comes down to what player the user is actively controlling and what get's displayed on the UI. Also, what is the users intent? If I'm using the Jive remote to control my Duet and I ask to synch with an SB3, the SB3 should get the Duets playlist and begin playing. If the underlying implementation means that you need to tell the SB3's synch-group to join the Duets, then so be it. What I don't expect to happen is for the Duets playlist to be lost when it synchs with SB3. The intent is based on the fact that I'm controlling the Duet. The same would apply to an SB3 if I was standing in front of it using an IR remote. If I select Synch with Boom using the remote, then I expect the Boom to begin playing the SB3's playlist. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59032 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Delay between two synchronized SB's
Synching was greatly improved in 7.2.1, but is even better in 7.3. I've found it stays in synch perfectly when playing back local files stored on my server. I don't bother trying to synch internet streams as the web induced latency just makes it too hit & miss. However, even in 7.2.1 the players should attempt to get back into synch. If you look at the server settings page, you'll see some logging you can enable on various bits of the server including synch. Your server log will then be able to tell you what the players are up to. But I think you should just hold out for 7.3 unless your prepared to try the beta. It's pretty stable at the moment as it's due for release sometime around early December. http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/SqueezeCenter_7.3_trunk_v2008-11-20/ -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] getting the best out of your wireless network
On a related note. I bought a Belkin G+ MIMO router over xmas to replace a really old Belkin I bought at the preG stage. It was upgraded to full 802.11G soon after I bought it and has worked well for the last 5+ years. My SB2 & SB3 were working reliably streaming MP3, but downloads on my PS3 over wireless were very slow and I got breakups while streaming DivX to it using Tversity. Also some of the neighbours had got wireless kit, so it was time to boost my signal ;-) Anyway, after going MIMO, I noticed an immediate improvement. I can stream med-def ( > SD, but not 720p) DivX's which I couldn't before and I can also stream DTS5.1 flacs to the SB3 which I'd given up on before. The router itself does a site survey when you switch it on and will pick the best channel for you. I don't if or how often it might channel hop. I set the channel manually to what was on my old belkin router to avoid re-configing devices, but I'm going to give the Auto-channel setting a test to see how I get on. The only downside seems to be that MIMO routers don't do bridging, so the AP I had in the kitchen to boost the signal there is now useless and the SB2 in kitchen is still only reporting ~50% signal strength. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41987 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 freezes while synchronzied
Synch has been given a major fix in SC7. There's probably no point in logging a bug unless you can replicate the problem after upgrading to 7 as the synch fixes are not going to be ported back to 6.5x. So your choice is to either continue with 6.5 and live with the known synch problems and wait for the offical 7 release or download the 7 nightly and beta test. I've been running on 7 for months now and I'd say it's due for release any day now. It's extremely stable. Most of the ongoing changes are Jive remote related. By the way, a 700mhz PC with 1Gb is pretty low spec. I'd say 6.5 struggles on this and 7 will as well.

Re: [slim] Any word of SB4?
Personally, my SB3 is on to play music, not look at the screen. The VFD with the analog (needle) display is fantastic. All I'd look for in an SB4 is a bit more horsepower to decode DTS/AC3 converted to Flacs at their highest compression rating. And more memory to cache more of these files. Whatever Slim do, they obviously need to keep it reasonably spaced (product wise) from the Transporter, so they don't cannbalise sales from the higher end product. I have an Ipod enabled alarm clock that I would happily dump for a Slim enabled product. It's a JBL product with the following flaws. 1) The light sensor does not completely switch off the display, so I sleep with a blue glow on the ceiling all night, wasting power. It should turn off the display completely after 5-10mins of darkness and let me use the snooze button to bring it back on. 2) The interaction with the ipod is crap so most mornings, the ipod just plays the first track alphabetically. ABBA first thing in the morning, every morning, is not a good vibe. So now I just use the built in buzzer, like my old alarm clock. 3) I do on-call support and need to keep a mobile beside my bed at times. My old cheapo Philips alarm clock was immune from the phones "phone home" signals but the JBL is not, resulting in a loud blast of noise during the night. So the mobile has to be kept at a distance from the clock.

I have raised this issue at least 3 times on these forums and it has been quietly ignored. There is a bug somewhere in Slimserver/Squeezecentre that was introduced somewhere in June/July 2006 timeframe. I reported coming home from being away for 3 days to find music playing in my house back then. I've been woken up at all hours of the night. At first it was thought to be caused by a web-spider. To rule that out, I disabled all port forwarding to Slim related ports and added firewall rules to my Kerio personal firewall blocking internet access to Slim related processes. Still the issue occurs. It's hard to log a bug because a) It's so intermittent. It could be weeks/months between occurrences. b) Everyone's network is different to it's hard to know what's relevant. c) It's difficult to now what logging might capture this. Also current SC7 logs don't have timestamps to match events to the time they occurred. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40427 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Can SB3 decode a DTS signal?
BTW - if you try playing your flac/DTS files over the analog outs, then obviously you'll get white noise. You need a digital connection to a surround amp and here's the important bit. DO NOT let the server/SB make any changes to the bitstream on it's way to the amp otherwise the DTS header info get corrupted and the amp does not know that it is being sent a surround mix. In practice all this means is switching off the digital volume control/replaygain so the SB outputs the bitstream exactly the way it was sent. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39876 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Another reason for not doing Sqrsoft x-fading is that in the current Slimserver model track 2 of a playlist does not start streaming to the SB until track 1 has finished playing. So you can't overlay the start of track 2 over the end of track 1 as you don't have the data.

Re: [slim] Nokia 770
I have the N800. Having never used or seen an N770, I can't say how much faster the newer device is. Ben's skin is excellent. There are a couple of minor improvements that would be nice, but it does an excellent job. The main problem with using the Nxxx as a remote replacement is the need to leave it on for an extended period so that it's available when required. Whereas the Slim Remote is an always-on, instant device, the startup time of the Nokia is about 1 minute with another minute required to start the browser, load the home page. none of this is anything Ben can "fix" Outside of use as a remote replacement, the web browser is nice. I haven't used it for Skype or Google talk. Canola looks nice also. There's lots of other Linux derived freeware, but installation can be difficult for a non Linux expert. I've tried to install several apps that have failed due to a library being missing, with no mention of how to get/install the required file. However the OS does provide an interface for installing apps that have been officially "blessed" by Nokia. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37234 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I then saved and compressed to MP3. Took me about 1 hour. I know it's not how the original album was released, but so what. I've also had to do this with the Simple Minds live CD's where the tracks are split using crowd noise. and then there those annoying "hidden" tracks with 10 minutes of filler silence in front of them to make you think you've bought 60mins of music. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35326 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Warning, new firmware killed Squeezebox 2
I'm not sure what version of the FW Squeezenetwork is pushing down, but I've upgraded both my SB2 & 3 to the latest FW81 without issue. When I bought my SB2, it came with FW16, so it's been upgraded >30 times at this stage without ever really having a problem. Two thing's I would suggest. 1) Unlikely Try hitting brightness after plugging the SB2 back in, could be that it's just gone onto the setting which turns the display off. 2) This has happened to me. The server had the player in a power state of OFF and disregarded all my attapts to do anything via remote control. I had to go to the Web UI and select the player, then change the power state to ON. Just out of interest, does the Web UI still "see" the player that is dead? -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34275 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

By the way, it's not that "Slimserver won't do it" No Windows service will communicate with a mapped drive by it's drive letter if you use the local system account. That's a Windows limitation. You can either go with UNC's or change the Windows service to run under you login. >From a performance POV, there's probably no difference between a drive mapping and a UNC.

Re: [slim] SlimTray.exe unresponsive and huge
If you tell Slimtray to "Automatically run at log in" then the Slimserver process and associated processes are owned by the currently logged on user and can be killed much like Unix processes. If you select "Automically run at system start" then the processes are started as a service and then they are usually owned by the local system account or unless the user specifically decides to alter the logon credentials of service. This is usualy done by owners of external or mapped drives due to a lmitiation of Windows. You can however execute the following shell command to specifically shutdown the Slim MySQL process if started as a service and not affect any regular MySQL instances a user might have running on their box net stop SlimServerMySQL -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32257 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimTray.exe unresponsive and huge
I looked through the Slimtray.pl code in subversion and while I'm no perl expert, it's hard to see anything that might be causing a leak. I also checked it's activity in Filemon & Regmon. It seems to read a few reg key's every few seconds but there are matching closekey entries. Next step would be to run using perl Slimtray.pl with the reg checks commented out for a few day to see if it fixes the issue.

Re: [slim] Firmware version
The firmware and Slimserver software are pretty independent of each other, but there have been times in the past where a FW upgrade depended on a certain version of the Server software being present. e.g I think FW54 or later requires SS6.5x. Slim recommends that users upgrade Server software and FW together as they are tested as a unit. It would involve too much work to test server upgrades for compatibility with several older FW version. Similarly, Slim don't go back and update 6.2 or 6.3 to work with the current FW as well as the version bundled with the release. So if you upgrade to 6.5 the FW will automatically bee updated. If you go back to 6.2 or 6.3 you'll be prompted to downgrade. You can edit the squeezebox2.version file in C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Firmware to avoid a downgrade, but you won't get any support if your system breaks. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32989 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Starane "banging/thumping" noise from SB
Hi This issue has been reported intermittently in the past. I know Sean has been trying to reproduce the issue but hasn't had enough data to work on. So here's what happened to me yesterday morning. I was planning to replace 2 light switches with dimmers. Since I didn't know what fuse to throw to cut power to the light circuit, I knew I'd have to try a few. I shutdown my PC/Slimserver to avoid data loss. I then started throwing fuses. When I got to the fuse for the downstairs sockets, I put the fuse down/up in about the space of 1 second. I then heard this almighty racket from the front room. It sounded like a kango hammer. A low bass thump. I realised it was from the SB3, and it being 8:00am on a Sunday morning with my wife asleep upstairs, I quickly pulled the toslink cable from the back of the unit. I then cycled the power and everything went back to normal. My unit in the kitchen was fine. I can only assume that the power surge when I threw the fuse caused some sort of glitch. The SB was behaving normally except for the noise it was emitting. It was in the process of looking for the server (which was still off) like it would normally do after a power cycle. I could probably do this a hundred times with no issue. BTW I'm on 240V in Europe. The SB is on the same main outlet as my DVD player, surround reciever and plasma TV. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32899 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Wake on LAN and bridged networks
Not sure if I fully understand your exact setup, but have you tried the following. Use a static I.P. on your Squeezebox and set the Mac Mini as the Def Gateway. I would expect the magic packets to be sent to the Def. Gateway for routing and since that's what you're trying to wake, should work. ...or if you're print server server port forwarding,setup a virtual server redirecting all UDP port 9 traffic to the static I.P. of the Mac Mini. That would guearentee that any WOL packets broadcast on the network get redirected by the router to the Mac Mini's I.P. AFAIK, the lan card is still kept active (it has to be to "hear" the WOL packets) when the system is asleep, so a router with a machine in standby attached still "see's" that port as active and will not forget the routing information associated with that port. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31561 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wireless bridge question
I remember having a problem with a Netgear wireless bridge I bought for linking my PS2 to my network. The bridge couldn't connect to the network initially with WEP enabled, but if I disabled WEP it worked, then set it to 64bit WEP, and still worked, then 128bit still worked. I just figured that it was something to do with settings corruption. Reported it to both Netgear & Belkin, but go no answer from either. With a few wireless components around the house, it's a pain to visit each one changing channels, keys etc.. when testing these sort of issues. I was lucky enough to be able to run with WEP disabled until about 6 months ago when I found the neighbours sponging off my connection. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31850 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wake on LAN issues
I've always had to press power a couple of times. I'm guessing becuase my machine is not starting up quick enough. And I have a pretty swift 2.4Ghz P4 with 1.5Gb RAM. The machine is kept pretty lean and goes from standy to ready in <10 seconds. Look's like your Celeron just isn't starting as fast as it did. Part of that might be down to 6.5. It uses about 80Mb on my system and is the biggest consumer of memory aside from Firefox. Then, there's also the myslqd process which uses about another 16mb.
