Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
Both softsqueeze and squeezeslave work. What do you mean Softsqueeze didn't work ? Didn't start ? No audio ? Crashed ? Given you have had problem with 3 softplayers - I think the issue might be something in your system config. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Downoladed from nightly builds http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.5 SqueezePlay: Debian Installer Package squeezeplay_7.5.1~9211_all.deb 14.76 MBApril 25 2011 04:08 lua libraries was installed before. tried to invoke as /opt/squeezeplay/bin/jive (I run sudo ldconfig /opt/squeezeplay/lib before invocation as recommended in another thread) Got completely garbled unreadable screen Looks like the same text was written over multiple times. In addition, the package caused the problems all over OS (Movie player stopped working etc). After purging the package everything returned to normal. I searched thru threads and found at least one other person describing similar problem ( garbled screen ). I run Ubuntu 10.10 on Dell XPS 410 for many months without problems at all. squeezebox server 7.5.4 works flawlessly with two SB3 boxes ( 7.5.2 worked great as well.) I briefly installed 7.5.3 but downgraded back to 7.5.2 due to multiple problems and waited until 7.5.4 -- sl789 sl789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
There seems to be a problem with recent builds of Squeezeplay. I'm not sure who created the Softsqueeze rpm but it looks the issue is with the install not Softsqueeze. Do you want Softsqueeze on the same system as your server ? If so, try using installing as a Plugin ? -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
Not sure what is wrong with the RPM or alien but Softsqueeze doesn't really need to be installed into /opt. Try the following. Code: rpm2cpio softsqueeze_linux_3_9b2.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories java -jar ./opt/softsqueeze/SoftSqueeze.jar -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
Hi bpa ! Thanks for your help. I've just installed Softsqueeze as a plug-in and restarted the server. It appears under the extra menu. The problem is that it plays certian files with increasing speed, so they sounds very high-pitched Any insights why it happens ? -- sl789 sl789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
To get help for problem please always give more info with the request. Softsqueeze is a soft player with only a few inbuilt decoders so it relies on other app for decoding. So problems can be format specific so describe issue in more detail ? 1. How much is the file playing too fast - compare time to play track against proper time to play ? 2. Format of file such as MP3, WMA, AAC, ALAC, Flac etc. 3. Characteristics of audio stream 44.1kHz, 48KHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz ? 16bit or 24 bit ? 1 or 2 channel ? -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
Hi bpa ! Thanks for your help. I've installed softsqueeze as a separate application using your instructions and it installed and works OK (the increaded speed issue remains though) . Regarding the files who plays with increased speed, those a flacs (for now I don't see any common denominator among them) There is another problem as well.

Re: [slim] Does somebody know which desktop player works for Ubuntu 10.10 ?
44.1/16 is v. standard and is played directly by jFlac and have no problems. Have your problem files been compressed by a non standard encoder ? You can test by re-encoding the problem files with standard Flac at a lower bit rate to see if problem goes away. Highly compressed file take longer to decode at startup and could explain your initial stutter - again test with a re-encoded problem file to isolate the issue. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
