[slim] Dumb WHS SqueezeCenter install question
OK, I know this is a stupid question but I just wanted to be clear. When people talk about remote desktop into their WHS to install SqueezeCenter are they talking about the built in Remote Access function of the WHS or are they talking about remote desktop in to the WHS not from the web interface of the WHS? -- phicar2 phicar2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45783 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Windows Home Server (search problem)
Cool, thanks! One more (stupid) clarification question: is the best/easiest thing to do to copy all my music to c:\music folder on my WHS (or d:\music? I do have 2 hard drives, is one option better than the other?) Thanks! Then I assume in the future as I rip more CDs I would do that on a client machine and then just copy those files to that folder on the WHS? -- phicar2 phicar2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42549 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Windows Home Server (search problem)
byKnight;266248 Wrote: You should copy all of your music to \\SERVER\Music. You should also set SqueezeCenter (or SlimServer) to find the music at \\SERVER\Music (not D:\Music). That way, if you have folder duplication turned on for the Music folder and you lose a hard drive, you can keep streaming tunes with missing a beat. Will do!

[slim] Blank SongInfo screen
I am getting a weird error all of the sudden. Often, although not every time, when I click on a song title in the playlist (using the default web browser skin) all that comes back on the left side (SongInfo) is basically a blank screen. Well, not exactly blank. It has the same formatting but it just shows: Play this song Add this song to the playlist Title: And then, on the playlist, sometimes the name of the band will then dissapear. Any ideas?

[slim] Re: Nokia770 issue
I did do an upgrade, not an uninstall reinstall of slimserver so I will do that tonight. Here is what I see (from what I remember - at work now). I select playlists from the home screen. I then select one of the playlists (which I know is more than 1 page, at least when I use the default slimserver skin on my PC, the list has about 140 songs). The playlist is displayed, but on ly 1 screen worth of songs, and I don't see any navigation devices (arrows, numbers, next page, etc.) to get to the rest of the list.

[slim] Re: Nokia 770 Skin
I just wanted to say that I think you guys are doing an awesome job with this! I went back and forth on Sonos vs Squeezebox and the 770 is what finally swayed me to the squeezbox (well, actually it is what let me go squeezebox [which I wanted for all its stong points vs the strong point of the Sonos - the remote] and still appease my wife - she loved the sonos controller). The work on this skin is what will take the 770 to the next level of the perfect squeezebox remote I think. Heck, I haven't even tried the skin yet (just got my 770 2 days ago and am a 2 month squeezebox newb so am a little hesitant to go to 6.5 until it is released) but just reading through this thread has me pumped! Great job Ben and all the folks who have (and will) pitched in on this. -- phicar2 phicar2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Nokia 770 network set up advice needed
After wavering between the squeezebox and sonos (because of the remote) I decided to go squeezebox after learning about the Nokia 770 option to use as a remote: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17837highlight=nokia I placed an order for a 770 and am told Ill be receiving it in January (or thereabouts). So I am trying to plan out the best set up. I just bought 2 SB3s, one I have attached to my home theatre set up (after turning off the super g functionality of my Dlink router it works great) and one which I will attach to my built in receiver attached to the speakers that are built into my house in about 4 rooms. My house is kind of spread out so my router doesnt reach wirelessly to the whole house (does reach the first squeezebox at 70% signal) and wont make it to the receiver downstairs. So my initial plan was to run some Cat5 to where my second squeezebox would be and then hook up the squeezebox. Then I thought I could use the squeezebox as a wireless bridge for my Nokia to serve as the remote. Will this work? Can the Nokia communicate wirelessly through the squeezebox that it will control? Second option: run Ethernet cable to the location of the second squeezebox downstairs but instead hook it into a wireless AP (sitting essentially next to the squeezebox) and have the squeezebox connect wirelessly; and the Nokia will also obviously connect to my network via this AP. Third option: run two Ethernet cables to the location of the second squeezebox downstairs and hook the squeezebox into the network via one of the Ethernet cables. Then hook up an AP with the second Ethernet cable that would be responsible for connecting the Nokia to my network. The only reason I could even see doing this would be performance benefit of having the squeezebox attached via cable and not sharing the Ethernet cable back to the server. Basically, Im looking for the best performance for my squeezebox and the nokia. Obviously the cheapest option is number 1 (no new hardware needed, just need to run Cat5). Options 2 and 3 cost essentially the same because of the AP needed (the second run of Ethernet cable for option 3 would cost more as well) but I would think would result in best performance for everything (squeezebox connected via wired Ethernet and AP dedicated to the Nokia and not sharing an Ethernet cable back to the server. However, I just dont know if that is true. Obviously if you have read this far you will realize Im a networking newb so any advice or practical knowledge would be appreciated! -- phicar2 phicar2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18665 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Nokia 770 network set up advice needed
Sounds like a great idea. Is it true then that there is no performance gains to be had by having the 770 and SB attached to the network using different cables (option 3)? If not then I'd say your suggestion is the best. -- phicar2 phicar2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18665 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
