[slim] upnp needed for accessing mp3 files on PC
I have the very excellent Squeezebox classic 3 and with this can play all my shared audio files from my desktop PC running windows XP. I also have an internet radio which can also play audio files from my PC, but when I search for them on the unit cannot find any. On referring to the radios operators manual I see they recommend using Windows media player 11 or above as a bridge or UPnP to facilitate things. When I attempt to download media player it can't validate my windows. Is there any other way I can get around this problem and get my mp3's playing on the wifi internet player? I do have the free versions of VLC player, Real Player and Winamp already installed on the desktop.

Thanks, but I've now found a UPnP software that gets the job done called servilia from sourceforge.

I'm not sure hiding your IP will do the trick. You need a proxy UK IP and they will cost, if you want a reliable broadband connection. -- ozbrit Squeezebox 3, Bush Internet radio TR2015. ozbrit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22633 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59140 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Smooth radio
If you're outside the UK, you will get a message advising they have detected you have an overseas computer connection. This is all about the Musicians Union in the UK double dipping on music royalties. Their warped logic goes along the lines that UK radio stations pay royalties for their UK listeners, but if listeners from overseas listen in then the audience of radio stations in their own country is reduced. To support musicians overseas then they charge extra royalties to UK stations not geo-locking foreigners out. Understand that? I don't. -- ozbrit Squeezebox 3, Bush Internet radio TR2015. ozbrit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22633 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59140 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SBR and signal strength
An interesting thread to me I have a dynalink RTE 1025 wireless modem router with my SB3 located across the house with a signal of 25%, any radio station with a bitrate greater than 160kbps also stutters and carries on, would that be down to too low a reception signal? -- ozbrit Squeezebox 3, Bush Internet radio TR2015. ozbrit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22633 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58659 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Replaygain - Anyone know about it?
I was looking through some posts on another forum when someone suggested a facility for squeezebox where music volume from a playlist could be levelled. You know how different tracks from different albums/sources can vary in volume, well at this forum someone chipped in saying there is a squeezebox facility that can do this called Replaygain. Hmmm! I wonder if this is factual, as I can't see anything in SqueezeCenter called replagain or anything else like it. Anyone know about it? -- ozbrit Squeezebox 3, Bush Internet radio TR2015. ozbrit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22633 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58253 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
