Re: [slim] Squeezebox Server Will Not Start
Thanks for the post toby10. If I stop SBS, it will not start again without rebooting the PC. The weird thing is I have just rebooted my Squeezebox Touch and I'm currently listening to internet radio via Squeezebox.com. However, SBS Web Control on my PC is showing "Your Player Was Not Found" under settings/player ! The SBS is configured to run on PC startup. In Task Manager/Services SqueezeMySQL and SqueezeboxServer are both shown as running on PID 2252 and 2352 respectively. PID3483 is not even mentioned !

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Server Will Not Start
I seemd to have now resolved the problem ! After having made several unsuccessful attempts of re-installing Squeezebox Server 7.54, I again uninstalled the software together with the log info etc. I then re-installed Squeezebox Server but right clicked on the program first and "Run as Administrator". This installed the program flawlessly, successfully re-scanned all of the music library and everything is now back to normal and working (for the time being). What I cant understand is that when I installed Squeezebox server about ywo months ago, on a new Windows 7 install, I did not have to install under Administrator and everything worked perfectly until yesterday when the server went AWOL ! I hope this helps anyone who may have a similar problem. -- technojunkie technojunkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87683 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Squeezebox Server Will Not Start
I have just started to to have a problem with the Squeezebox server to registering or starting. Yesterday I could not use my Squeezebox Touch at all as the server could not be found. I therefore re-started my PC and router but nothing changed. I therefore re-installed Squeezebox Server 7.54 and everything seemed fine for about 5 minutes and then back to the same problem. I then un-installed the Squeezebox Server, deleted all logs etc and re-booted my PC. I have now tried to re-install Squeezebox Server again and the software installs OK but the final part of the install "Registering Services" takes about 5 minutes to finish and then, when it has, the Squeezebox server is still stopped. I cannow not get Squeezebox Server to start at all ! The only change to my PC that has been made since Squeezebox Server was last working is that I added a new Bluetooth keyboard. However, as the previous keyboard was also Bluetooth I don't think it is this that can be causing the issue. Can anybody please advise what could be causing this problem.

Re: [slim] No Artists !
I seemed to have resolved this problem. I deleted the folder containing the last entry in the log before the music scan terminated which was : "Slim::Utils::Scanner::scanDirectory (333) Scanning: F:\My Documents\My Music\Music\Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers\Greatest Hits\Breakdown.flac" I also ticked the "use iTunes" box which I had previously unticked because the scan wasn't picking up FLAC or WMA files types. I then ran a full scan and all songs, artwork and playlists loaded in one scan which hasn't happend for months. Strangely, the "use iTunes" box is now unticked again (not by me) but I'm really not bothered as my full library is now available and everything is now working. -- technojunkie technojunkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86193 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the post Phil. I'm using the Avast free anti-virus software and haven't previously had this problem. I should also add that the music scan always stops due to "Music Scan Terminated Unexpectedly" and I have to load the rest of my library by scanning "look for new and changed music". However, this has never usually caused the problem of the Artist info disappearing. After the scan terminates for the first time (approx 95% complete) Artists are all shown correctly.

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
I've been happily using MusicIp for a few months now but I'm still trying to come to grips with the way the software creates a playlist. I understand that, when using MusicIp with SqueezeCenter, it is the settings within SqueezeCenter that dictates the outcome of the mix. However, whatever song I base the mix on, a different song from the same artist/album is repeated several times within the mix. In many cases, songs from the same artists/albums are repeated within the mix which greatly retricts the variety of the mix. I had understood the MusicIp selects songs that are "sonically/acoustically" similar to the seed song but, if that were the case, why am I getting songs in mixes by the same artist/album that are sonically/acoustically nothing like the seed song ? -- technojunkie technojunkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Can anybody please advise what the MusicIP validation process actually does ? I ask because, having tried to finely tune the mix paramaters within SC and the MusicMagicServer I'm still getting some very "odd" mixes. Does the validation process flag tracks by genre, style of music, feel/mood of music or some other method ? The songs in my library have not been all correctly tagged for genre but I was expecting the MusicIP validation process to log this information. However if, for example, I select a rock ballad as the seed song, I get a lot of songs in the mix that are not by rock artists and certainly not rock ballads or anything similar in style or mood. Am I expecting too much from MusicIp or do I need to do some more fine tuning of the mix settings and, if so, which ones ?

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Problem now solved so please ignore my previous post. Sometimes when I make a SC rescan of the MIP database, the number of songs SC scans is not the same number as there are on the MIP database. For example I have today added about 100 songs to the MIP database but when I ask SC to do a complete rescan, the scan shows the total number of songs from yesterday and not with the additional songs added today ! -- technojunkie technojunkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Can I import .M3U and Windows Media playlists into MIP to then show up on the Duet controller under playlists ? I thought I'd ask the question before I tried adding them to the MIP library as everything is working perfectly at the moment and I don't want to do something that might cause a problem.

Thanks for that Gibbo, that makes things a little clearer. Any idea where I can find information on fine tuning either MIP or SC mix settings ? I'll second Gibbo's comment and also give a BIG thankyou to egd as I am also now up and running MIP headless and without egd's help I wouldn't of had a clue how to set things up. -- technojunkie technojunkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Do changing the settings in the MIP GUI have any impact on the final results in SC ? I've searched for some guidance on the MIP website but I can't find anything. -- technojunkie technojunkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
