Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
You are correct Michael. Slimserver 6.5.2 can do proxied streaming for Live365. I was so interested in being able to switch my SB3 to the Squeeze Network via PPP over a cell phone, that I didn't even try that. Good point. Anyway, I think it is cool that I can run Squeeze Network now:) I guess I am easily amused. -Ron -- Ron F.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
I got it working: I am now streaming SqueezeNetwork material, such as Live365 to my SB3, over my PPP connection to the web. It works like this: My connection to the web is via an EvDO cell phone modem, (I have an unlimited data plan:) The modem is attached to my Win2K machine, connected to www.squeezenetwork.com. I have this wired to an access point, (my SB3 is wireless.) The trick is to not allow the Squeezebox to attach to the access point using DHCP. The reason for this is that doing so sets the SB3's default gateway to the access point! Obviously, that won't work when running PPP as there is nothing connected to the WAN port on the access point! The SB3 needs to have its default gateway set to the IP address of the machine that is hosting the PPP adapter! So, setting up networking manually on the SB3, rather than letting DHCP do it fixed everything. I also have internet connection sharing turned on for the PPP adapter on the Win2K platform. -Ron -- Ron F.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
Stuck again... I tried switching to the Squeeze Network using my PPP connection to the internet, and of course that did not work. The SB3 attempts to leave Slimserver running on my PC, and switch directly to the internet, and Slimserver can no longer provide the proxied connection it was when I was simply entering a URL into Slimserver's Tune-in field! So, if I am interested in streaming Live365 to my Squeezebox, it looks like I still have to solve the original problem: How do I connect to SqueezeNetwork from my SB3 when my Win2K machine is connected to the internet via a PPP connection? I tried installing Jana, as Michael recommended as a possible solution, but I could not get that to work. Any suggestions? -- Ron F.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
OK radio paradise not working was related to playlist - I've seen that a few times - I may check it out as it may be related to using the AACplus additions. The garbled html problem (bug #4110) does seem to be aggravated by cache but I can't get it to happen on demand so it is hard to debug. A common thing that seems to be make it happen more often is playing internet radio from playlist or stations which don't connect. Doing a screen refresh quickly after the request can provoke it. I think the speed of your dialup link may be making your setup more prone to it. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34840 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
Thank you bpa, I am now streaming AACplus! I have tested 48k and 64k bps aacplus streams and they work nicely. I cannot play the Radio Paradise 128k stream however, it apppears that the mplayer decoder does not support that. The playlist comes up empty on the Squeezebox, but it plays on my Treo using pTunes, so I think the stream itself is probably ok. Anyway, I like this! Thank you very much for your help. As to the bug: I see pretty much the same thing with 6.5.2 that I was seeing with the official release of 6.5.1 - my browser display frequently goes nuts when streaming internet radio with weird stuff being written all over inside the browser window. I am using Firefox, version 2.0.0.3. My system is Windows 2000, service pack 3. It is not service pack 4 - I reverted to service pack 3 as I found that SP 4 broke stuff that they never fixed in Win2K after that. I have been playing the various Radio Paradise streams, and this problem seems more likely to happen if I try to stream something that Slimserver cannot decode, like their 128K aacplus stream. It happens with other streams too - I saw it occur with the 48k Soma Groovesalad stream as well. I copy/paste these URLs into the Tune-in field in the Slimserver web interface. By the way, I should say what a cool program Slimserver is. I feel sorry for people who don't know yet they can play music like this. -Ron -- Ron F.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
A couple of points. I am trying to track down that "garbled html" bug but can't reproduced reliably - can you give the URL yo're trying ? You can get a similar effect to proxied for WMA by disabling under FileTypes "Windows media (built-in)". This means stream ends in Slimserver and it is transcoded into Flac or MP3 before being sent to SB. AAC+ (AACplus) is not supported by Slimdevices but you can install changes to provide support. The AACplus stream will be transcoded by Slimserver and then sent as MP3 or Flac to SB. The instruction here need to be updated so that 6.5.x is the main and not 6.3.x If your system has not added many plugins, it could be as simple as installing 4 files. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?AACplus -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34840 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
I like it when my gadgets work. Installing 6.5.2, and setting the new "proxied streaming" option got it working: I am now streaming the Radio Paradise 128K mp3 stream via my PPP connection provided by Sprint! Slimserver then sends it on to my SB3 over my LAN. In my opinion: this is an essential feature in Slimserver. Ok, can ask Logitech and the Slim community to extend this feature so that we can stream other formats as well, such as AAC and WMA? It does not seem to work for anything other than mp3. I tried streaming a 128K AAC+ stream, and the Slimserver browser interface went nuts with what looked like garbled html written directly into the browser display. Still - I am quite thankful for what I got:) because before I could not stream anything at all. Now for some internet radio listening... -Ron -- Ron F.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
Michael, My phone has EvDO capability, and it should be able stream 128K to my SB3 easily. It should be able to stream up to 384K without too much difficulty. I can stream Radio Paradise using pTunes to my bluetooth stereo headset for hours without a glitch - so it should work! I tried selecting some lower bit rates in Slimserver, including the Radio Paradise 32K stream, with the same result. I did some googling of "routing windows" as you suggested, and found a suggestion that I turn the Windows routing function on via Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters Select the "IPEnableRouter" entry (by defining as value : 1) I did that, rebooted, and still no change in behavior. How do I turn on the "proxied internet radio option?" Is that "web proxy" under internet settings? Don't I need a port number to make that work?

[slim] Internet Radio over PPP
I am trying to do something a bit odd, and my lack of knowledge is once again getting in my way... Let me describe my setup: I have Slimserver 6.5.1 running on my Win2K computer that is driving my SB3 via a wireless access point. My computer's Ethernet adapter is connected to the wireless access point via a cable, so only the SB3 is wireless. I don't have web access via the WAN port on the access point, as I don't have DSL, cable modem, or anything as such. Instead, I have a wireless cell phone modem connected to my computer that appears as a PPP adapter. The Ethernet adapter and the PPP adapter have different IP addresses of course, and both are working: Slimserver is streaming music off my hard drive to the Ethernet adapter, and I can surf the web through the PPP adapter at the same time - and submit this post. What I cannot do of course is get the SB3 to connect to an internet URL. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Ron F.
