[slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics
Hi all, I've just downloaded SqueezeSlave and it seems excellent. Until now I've used SoftSqueeze (along with three SB hardware units) but never needed the GUI. I'm running SqueezeSlave on Vista (x64). My setup is SC7.3 on Linux, with music shared via a mounted drive to my Windows server. All works really well for the SB/Boom units, and also for SoftSqueeze. And it *mostly* works well for SqueezeSlave. But SqueezeSlave will reach the end of a track and then stop - the GUI (Fishbone) thinks it's still playing. The only pattern I can see is the music stops when there's a non-standard filename. For example, when I look in the web interface I see this for the song I want to play: Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio Veronica Top 1000 [2007]/0580 - Mr. Mister - Kyrie (Kir-- ).flac The actual filename on Windows Server is this: 0580 - Mr. Mister - Kyrie (Kir-é-á) The name (with the diacritics) shows correctly in the SC7.3 interface (playlist), and it shows correctly in the SoftSqueeze GUI. But SqueezeSlave refuses to play it. That's the only pattern I can see. Can anyone suggest anything? Is SqueezeSlave opening and processing the files itself rather than SqueezeCentre doing the work?

Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics
No. Squeezeslave only talks to SC using slimprotocol, it does not access music files directly. When a new player is created, it defaults to bandwidth limiting enabled at 320kbps, if you don't have lame installed, SC thinks it's playing okay, when in fact it isn't. Try changing the SS player bandwidth player setting to no limit. I currently have an updated SS player modules for SC which fixes this and several other recent changes in SS that have not been reflected in the player type. Just need to test a few more settings.

Many thanks for the reply Ralphy. But why would it happily play 20 songs this morring, then bork on the first one with diacritics in the name? I don't think it's a bandwidth issue at all.

Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics
Did you check? I don't think it's the name, it's the file type. flac will be transcoded to mp3 if bandwidth limiting is on. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60535 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics
But all my files are flac, including all the ones it's happily played this morning. To confirm, it will happily play: Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio Veronica Top 1000 [2007]/0213 - Phil Collins - I Wish It Would Rain Down.flac Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio Veronica Top 1000 [2007]/0520 - Heart - Alone.flac Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio Veronica Top 1000 [2007]/0034 - U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday.flac but will not play Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Radio Veronica Top 1000 [2007]/0580 - Mr. Mister - Kyrie (Kir-- ).flac Location: /mnt/music/Music/Various Artists/Celtic Heart/17 - Capercaillie - Coisich a' Rin (Walk My Beloved).flac Location: /mnt/music/Music/Clannad/Magical Ring/07 - T ' M Mo Shu¡.flac SoftSqueeze, SB3 and Boom all play all the tracks. SoftSqueeze and the SB3/Boom all show the proper names of these tracks, e.g. Kyrie (Kir-é-á) Tá 'Mé Mo Shuí Coisich a' Rùin So, it definitely looks like an issue with accented caharacters. SqueezeSlave cannot handle them but SoftSqueeze and SB3/Boom can. Is there any diagnostics/debugging I can do to assist? Or can you rename one of yoru .flac files to one of these names and try?

Can you enable the player.source logging at debug level, play one the bad files and attach the log to a post? -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60535 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You do have bandwidth limiting on. [09-02-23 12:58:14.2878] Slim::Utils::Prefs::maxRate (869) Setting maxBitRate for Squeezeslave JimSAG to: 320 and you don't have lame installed.

Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics
Ok it's sorted. No I didn't have LAME installed, but nor did I have bandwidth limiting applied. However, the limiting options are greyed-out if LAME isn't installed, yet they still seem to be applied. I've installed LAME and that has enable the bandwidth limiting options. I've now been able to change the dropdown to no limit and the tracks now play. Many thanks for your help.

Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics
Yes, that's right. The squeezeslave player type defaults to bandwidth limiting enabled and without lame installed you can't disable it.
