[slim] Re: Problem restoring playlists from backup
First question - is the path used in your playlist files the same as the way Slimserver sees your music library ? So if your playlist shows mnt/dir/Music/filename.mp3, is your music library also set up as mnt/dir (for example) ? Do your playlists use relative paths ? [Slimserver doesn't] You need to point Slimserver at the playlist directory - does it recognise the directory as valid ? Could it be a permissions issue, if you've been moving the playlists around - does Slimserver have read access ? Finally, try running Slimserver from the command line, but add the following "--d_scan --logfile=[your directory here]scanlog.txt" Then do a "playlist only" rescan. When Slimserver has finished the scan, look for the scanlog.txt file and see if there are any error messages. Does this give you a clue as to why the files aren't found ?

Hello, I am having a similar problem. When I update Slimserver, I can't get it to recognize any of my existing playlists. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, copying playlists to directories and alternately, setting the playlist directory to where my playlists are. Slimserver sees none of my playlists. I initially discovered the problem when I updated to 6.5.0. I had my playlists in the default location and it got wiped out. I rebuilt my playlists in a safe location but I can't use them.

[slim] Re: Problem rescanning music
Using Windows XP I too have had issues with rescan failing on extra-long song filenames in extra long foldernames. The easy way to tell if a song has too long a filename is to right-click the song (the WAV or FLAC or MP3 file) in Windows Explorer. If the a shortened popup menu appears (no rename option) then the filename is too long. Move the offending folder and retry the rescan. Another issue I had with rescan was the use of an invalid character (a greek character) in a song filename. I found that one the hard way. I emptied my music folder, then rescanned. Worked okay. Then moved the first ten albums back into the music folder, and rescanned. Worked okay. Repeat until the rescan fails. Then you know the bad song is in one of the last ten albums, which you can manually browse, looking for problem filenames. That is, looking for filenames with weird characters or too many characters. Hope this helps. -- pbnelson pbnelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28954 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Okay, I now have got my shiny SB3 - what a wonder! It works just like the softsqueezes when playing internet radio. First, my network setup: - HTPC running slimserver is connected via giagabit LAN to switch and the to a linksys WRT54G wifi router. I have a laptop using softsqueeze over wifi. I have a main PC connected via gigabit LAN and using softsqueeze. Now I have my SB3 connected via wifi (54mbit/s). All players (hard and soft) work the same way: MP3 playback is spotless. I can actually play some internet streams now. Denmarks Radio asx 128 kbit streams work just fine, LastFM works, Slimdevices picks works. But I do have trouble with a couple of streams. http://www.radio100fm.dk/netradio/100fm_live.asx The above stream will turn off my SB3 (and freeze my softsqueezes). The slimserver itself is stopped, requiring a manually restart (I do this over VNC desktop control) http://www.dr.dk/netradio/Metafiler/asx/dr_p3_128.asx The stream above work just fine. I tried a bunch of other asx streams and all of them seem to work os maybe it's a stream-only problem? When I posted the first post, none of the above streams worked, but now I'm left with only one that's not working.

I don't use Windows Firewall, but in general you can access these things by right-clicking on the tray icon. While SlimServer has in/out access on the relevant ports, the firewall may be blocking incoming connections from the Squeezebox, incorrectly believing it's a hostile machine trying to access your network. If the Squeezebox isn't included in what the firewall thinks is the LAN, it would certainly be doing this. This sort of information is in the logs - something like "blocked traffic". It's generally a timestamp with the IP number and the port. If you see repeated entries showing that the Squeezebox's IP was blocked, there's your problem. The Squeezebox is quite insistent and it will try to contact the server every few seconds. Your log will be full of these entries if indeed this traffic is being blocked.

I hope it isn't an issue with Windows XP 64-bit, because you may have a hard time finding help on that OS here. Not too many run it. I fear so: the solution he pointed to was about crashing 32-bit applications on Windows x64. I've seen them as well on our super-duper Windows x64 box.

mherger, I first started this thread asking about a slimserver and EAC problem. I have since moved the slimserver problem to the beginner's area. I provided a link above that has a fix for the EAC problem I was having. The fix is described in the last reply inside of the thread. I was hoping you could describe the solution to me so that I may be able to fix the problem I am having with EAC. I have not been able to open EAC thus I have not tried much with it. Thank you for the extra details about the perl fix for slimserver. Mark Lanctot, The first time I tried connecting to slimserver, the IP address for slimserver was xxx.xxx.x.101 and the IP address for my computer was xxx.xxx.x.100, just as you described. It did not connect though. I checked and the TCP and UDP ports have access, I did this all last night. I am actually computer literate, though it may seem like I'm not, but can you please divulge more info about "Check ipconfig and check the Squeezebox Settings - Information - Player Information menu to make sure you have a unique IP address."

It hangs when trying to connect. When you say "hangs", what exactly happens? What happens to the SlimServer screen? Does it say "Your player was not found" or does SlimServer freeze, crash or otherwise stop running? If it's that the player cannot be found, it's a network or firewall issue. If SlimServer crashes, it could be an IP address conflict, i.e. the Squeezebox has the same address as SlimServer or another device on your network. Otherwise it's a Windows 64-bit problem - it would be hard to fix this on this forum because there are so few Windows 64-bit users here.

It hangs when trying to connect. If it connects to SqueezeNetwork, that means you have the gateway and DNS server settings right. You *might* have the Squeezebox's IP address right, but only so far as it's one allowed on your LAN (your local network), see below. > I was a little confused about the different between assigning my IP > address and choosing an IP for Slimserver. Does that make sense? What > is the difference between the two? The IP address of SlimServer is the address of the computer it's installed in. Go to Start - Programs - Command Prompt and type "ipconfig" to find it. The IP address of the Squeezebox is obtained automatically by a process known as DHCP where your router hands out addresses automatically. The Squeezebox setting for this is "Obtain IP address automatically". You can also set it yourself. In both cases you must ensure the addresses are unique - the SlimServer IP address must NOT be the same as the Squeezebox IP address! They will be similar but unique, for example, 192.168.1.101 for SlimServer and 192.168.1.102 for the Squeezebox. Check ipconfig and check the Squeezebox Settings - Information - Player Information menu to make sure you have a unique IP address. Then check into your server's firewall configuration to make sure SlimServer has full in/out access. All it needs is TCP and UDP ports 3483 and TCP port 9000, or you can give it full access.

Just one thing springs to mind now: am I right in thinking that your original setup has both the laptop and the SB on the wireless LAN to the router? If so, that might partly explain the problems - you are putting a lot of traffic on your WLAN, and if its suffering at all from interference then you will have this sort of problem. So another experiment would be to wire the laptop to the router, and have the SB wireless. One more possible thing to look at: I'm curious about why higher rate MP3s are playing fine, while lower rate AACs are not. I'm wondering whether this is because the SB can't play AACs natively: they must be transcoded by the server to something else, like MP3 or FLAC. Have a look at server settings/filetypes, perhaps your AACs are being transcoded to something high rate like FLAC or WAV?

Hi Ceejay, Firstly, thank you for your reply. I'm listening to SoftSqueeze right now (as a Java applet in FireFox) and the tracks in question play perfectly. No problems ever with mp3 playback (usually at 192kbps), the m4a's are all at 128kbps. I'll rip a few tunes to WAV and try that. I'll switch to channel 1 and give that a go... This might seem like a stupid question but, what do I connect the Squeezebox to? - The router or the laptop (with a cros-over ethernet?). I'm only getting to grips with Wi-Fi...

[slim] Re: Problem Playing m4a Files
A couple of things to try ... First, even though its not where you want to end up, try wired ... this will confirm if its a network issue or something else. Also, you mentioned mp3 ... do mp3 files generally play ok? How about a few WAVs? If the mp3's play, and the wm4a's don't, is that because the m4a's are higher bit rate? [the WAVs should show this up]. I'd also try some other channels - there are other things besides wireless LANs that can interfere, and netstumbler won't find those... Oh, yes, and... does it work with Softsqueeze?

I've seen this exact thing many times with my mp3 files. The only way I could get it to fix the issue is to use the program Mp3tag to complete remove all tag information then re-tag the files in Tag&Rename. I'm not sure what is causing this, but it is definately something somewhere in the tag information that is not shown to tag programs like Mp3Tag and Tag&Rename but is being read by slimserver. -- jdvmi jdvmi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27017 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Re: Problem updating to 6.5
You may want to uninstall, delete (or rename) the /Program Files/SlimServer/ directory, and then install 6.5. I noticed that when I uninstalled, it left the directory behind, and perhaps some of the stuff in that directory was causing the problem. But I am still experiencing intermittent crashes after the upgrade. They aren't as frequent as I initially reported -- I suspect the increased initial frequency may have been because it was still scanning my music library while I was changing server and player settings. Now that it is done scanning, it has crashed two or three times over a day or two. These more recent crashes happened just during playback, not when I was doing anything with the web interface.

All Homeplug units 'should' work to the same agreed standard and my SB3 works perfectly with the High Speed Devolos (along with two TiVos and security cameras/DVR). I assume you have not plugged the Powerline into any mains filtration or UPS devices as these will immediately block the ethernet connection?
