[slim] Big Party
I have been asked to help provide the music at a wedding this weekend, and this will involve about ten receivers (SB Duets) , luckily I can use ethernet that is already in place in every main room, and I can run some more Cat5 where I need it, I have my own 24 port switch that will act as the hub for the computer, so networking wise I am all set. but I did a smaller party not so long ago and we had a pair of active stereo speakers in every room, my feeling was that this was definitely overkill because nobody could really listen to the music in the proper stereo imaging sense whilst dancing and chatting away, after all it's just a party :-) So this time I want to put just one active speaker in every room, and this will also cost 50% less in speaker hire fees for the night, but I need to ask if I put a stereo to mono adapter on every duet receiver will it be OK, I have tested it just now and it seems OK to my ears, but is this simple fix the best way, or am I missing something ?? +---+ |Filename: DSC09865 (648 x 486).jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12477| +---+ -- pcourtney Infrant ReadyNAS 1000S Sparc CPU 512mb and SBS 7.6.1 SBS Remote Control via an iPad2 and Logitech app Squeezebox Duet Receivers WiFi Connected x 3 Musical Fidelity X-CAN v2 Headphone Amps x 3 pcourtney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49217 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90336 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Logitech Squeezebox Controller app on iPad
thanks for all the plugs for other iPad apps folks, I know about them all for some time, so you are not really getting the point of the exercise, which is to give this Logitech developed application a run out - and what better conditions than a big party in London, so please don't keep harping on about other ways to do this, I see all the apps in the iTunes store, I am not some pathetic newbie who needs that sort advice, it really is pathetic you guys ! the reason for the thread is to put the Logi iPad app through its paces, do you think you can all PLEASE get your head around that, gee whizz, people, it really does amaze me that you think you are making some osrt of contribution to the thread by telling me to use something else 2 hours into the party.

[slim] Logitech Squeezebox Controller app on iPad
I have been using my iPad this last few hours to setup a "Random Mix" of party music tonight, in fact the party kicked off 30 minutes ago :-) Total Tracks: 786 Total Albums: 62 Total Artists: 62 Total Genres: 5 Total Party Playing Time: 57:40:09 You can setup the Random Mix by the following : Song Mix Album Mix Artist Mix Year Mix Choose Genres I have set it to "Song Mix" and it is very basic, it just takes the first album and track 1, then second album, track 2, third album track 3, so yes it is random, but logical random, not all the over the place random, no matter it is doing the job of a DJ better than me :-) you can toggle between all the mixes and it works really well, but I have left it at "Song Mix" am only on the tenth track in and it takes over 10 or 20 seconds for the cover art to appear on the iPad, and this is with the iPad 1 metre away from the Netgear DG834GT router with a super strong signal, so the fact that is takes so long for artwork to appear does not bode well ! also, a track finishes playing on the speakers, but it is still showing 20 to 30 seconds to go on the iPad, the new track starts playing on the speakers, but the iPad is way behind refreshing with track info and cover artwork, this is poor programming, as easy to spot this type of lag I would have thought at the software quality control stage. just a little bit of stuttering going on though, only at the beginning of a track, and only 1 in 10 tunes, but watching it closely tonight In its defence, all the Tag information is displayable and works super, these are WAV files as well, so just by clicking on the Artist name above the artwork gives you all the Album info, and "Show Artwork" brings you back to the player "More Info" brings up the track number, file format, Duration, Bitrate 1411 CBR, Sample Rate 44.1 kHz, Sample Size 16 bits, Tag Version ID3v2.3.0 and View Tags "View Tags" brings up APIC,COMM, TALB,TCON, TDRC, TIT2, TPE1, TPE2, TRCK etc yep, all seems to be there, well its going to be a long night, but this will be a stern test for the iPad, the 4 SBR's, the SBS server, and I cannot say I am very confident, but it does have potential if Logitech could be bothered to really put it all together one day, maybe ! -- pcourtney Infrant ReadyNAS 1000S Sparc CPU 512mb and SBS 7.6.1 SBS Remote Control via an iPad2 and Logitech app Squeezebox Duet Receivers WiFi Connected x 3 Musical Fidelity X-CAN v2 Headphone Amps x 3 pcourtney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49217 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90131 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
I don't think he wants his computer running SBS anymore, he just wants to configure the Duet using UDAP, and not have the laptop on, which I don't know if that can be done, at least it's easy for him to have a try with UDAP, and see if it works. if it does not work, and a much better solution, would be to have SBS running on a SheevaPlug, you can pick them up for less than £100 pounds http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SheevaPlug_Installation_guide http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/products.php?cat=5 -- pcourtney Infrant ReadyNAS 1000S Sparc CPU running embedded SBS 7.6.1 Squeezebox Duet Receivers WiFi x 3 Musical Fidelity X-CAN v2 Headphone Amps x 3 WiFi Access Points: Netgear WNR2000 AP's and Netgear DG834GT Router iPad2 with the Logitech Remote App for Squeezebox installed pcourtney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49217 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
the mysqueezebox.com domain is hosted by Amazon Data Services in Dublin, the IP address for the website/service/domain is 79.125.18.68 I had a quick look at the UDAP fields for you, and it might be possible to use the field "IP address of either Squeezenetwork or local server" Squeezenetwork was the name before mysqueezebox.com came along ! server_address:79.125.18.68 UDAP> fields lan_gateway: IP address of default network gateway, (e.g. 192.168.1.1) lan_network_address: IP address of device, (e.g. 192.168.1.10) lan_subnet_mask: Subnet mask of local network, (e.g. 255.255.255.0) primary_dns: IP address of primary DNS server secondary_dns: IP address of secondary DNS server server_address: IP address of either Squeezenetwork or local server squeezecenter_address: IP address of local Squeezecenter server squeezecenter_name: Name of local Squeezecenter server but there are better informed people than myself who may give you more sound advice, but it is worth a try, given how easy it is to use Robins utility, try it out, try various settings out, always safe in the knowledge that you can reset all the fields back to your current config :-) -- pcourtney WiFi Only, mainly Netgear DG834GT + WNR2000 AP's ReadyNAS 1000S Sparc 1GB RAM running SBS 7.6.1 Squeezebox Duet Receivers x 3 iPad2 running the Remote App from Logitech pcourtney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49217 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
