Re: [slim] Is It Possible To Get AOL-XM Radio Stations?
I was working on my squeezecenter PC last night so I thought I would browse around squeezenetwork a bit last night while waiting for a drive to format. I noticed that AOL radio can now be streamed on squeezenetwork without a paid XM subscription. maybe I'm the last to notice this but I thought it was a great addition. also squeezenetwork seems to have come along way since I last looked. the improved alarm function worked out great when I didn't get the squeezecenter machine back up before going to bed. -- vain4 vain4's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32555 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 and Wake On Lan?
jtc;196005 Wrote: Hi everyone. I am planning to buy a Squeezebox of some description fairly soon - either an SB+ or an SB3 first (to try it all out before I commit myself to the price of an SB+). Anyway, before I order anything I am keen to get the software in place and have installed Ubuntu 6.10 onto a Shuttle XPC that I have (an SN45G V3 - link: http://eu.shuttle.com/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-546/169_read-10008/) This appears to be working and I am able to serve music via the static local IP I have assigned, so that it responds on 10.0.0.27:9000 as it should. That's fine (as far as I can tell) but what isn't is that I want to use Wake On Lan with this machine. I can get it to sleep and can rsume via the power button, but can't get it to wake on a lan request. I have read somewhere that the NForce chipset actually reverses the MAC address, and was therefore wondering if the SB gives you the option to specify a MAC address (rather than static IP) to which it will connect for the purposes of waking the server? If it only uses IP, and the machine fails to wake on a standard IP, how do I set it to wake the Shuttle machine from the SB itself? I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and to the Slimserver system, so any help would be much appreciated... john I'm sure you tried this but did you make sure you had the WOL enabled in the BIOS? the only reason i ask is because i'm using almost the exact same machine as you are and WOL works fine for me when using the SB2. -- vain4 vain4's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34599 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] New user - Speaker suggestions? PC question...
tdellaringa;188291 Wrote: Hi folks, I finally got my squeezebox last night - what a treat. If only every product I bought was as clear, simple and efficient to install and get running. Awesome. Now, 2 questions as a noob. My PC is downstairs in the family room, but we have the squeezebox up in our bedroom so we can listen to our music at night. 1) I have a pair of old powered speakers plugged into the RCA jacks, and that works fine - I'm not using a receiver, and that's the way I want it. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good pair of powered speakers to use for this that would not cost too much money. The ones I have are okay, but as I said they are old and don't have the greatest sound. I stopped in Best Buy (ugh, I know) last night just to see what they had, but all they have is PC stuff and nothing with RCA outs. 2) Obviously for the slimserver to be running (and thus the squeezebox) my PC has to be always on, which I'm not so keen on due to the power consumption (correct me if I am wrong? This morning I woke up and the squeezebox is off - my PC automatically turns off around midnight). Will the slimserver be accessible by the squeezebox if the PC is in hibernate mode? Does anyone have any suggestions about this or do you all just leave it running all the time? Thanks! Tom 1. I use these in my bedroom http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=mul_spk_cswitem=c1pcw 2. if the BIOS your comp is running supports it you can set the PC to turn on at a given time.

[slim] Re: Using stream.mp3 - Chicken and egg problem
JJZolx Wrote: I'm trying to figure out how to easily be able to use the stream.mp3 connection method to playback music at work from my home server. The connection is no problem, I have a VPN nailed up between work and home and I can easily connect to the SlimServer http server, and I can also connect using SoftSqueeze. But sometimes I'd like to use Winamp instead. If I pull up the web UI, the office computer player doesn't show up (I have one called 'WorkPC - Winamp', in which I've set up the desired bitrate limiting and other preferences). If I try to connect to stream.mp3 at this point I get a synch error in Winamp. Ok, there's no stream happening, so I understand that. I guess. So I play something to a Squeezebox on my home(?) network. Now I can connect to stream.mp3 from Winamp, but I get no music. I suppose that makes sense, the music isn't being streamed to this player. Now, at this point the player will show up in the SlimServer web UI and I can then add music to its playlist. Press 'play' again in Winamp and I get music on the office PC. All pretty damned confusing, as I'm not sure exactly what's going on here. Is there an explanation, or is this just the quirky way this has to work? it would appear that's the way it works unless you use softsqueeze. i was doing the same thing for a week or so -- vain4 vain4's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21434 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
