Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
Is it possible to make squeezeslave work with a squeezebox server that requires authentication? I can see no place to enter username and password of my squeezebox user.

Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
The goto start restarts squeezeslave if it exits or crashes. The sleep 10 just waits 10 seconds before restarting, that way if ss is continuously crashing, I can control-c to exit the loop. The computer sleeping will not be fixed by the above, it looks like there's a problem with squeezeslave recovering from sleep, still looking into that issue. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
Now that I'm completely frustrated because I can no longer get something to work that worked for me before (eve tried wiping and reinstalling), I figure I'll go the batch file route.

What I want to accomplish is a batch file that does launches as follows: c:\program files\squeezeslave\squeezeslave.exe --retry 192.168.1.99 if someone could basically hold my hand and tell me the actual batch file statements (yes, I've tried myself first--unsuccessfully) I need to write?

Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
A couple of additions to your instructions: If you'll have multiple computers running Squeezeslave then you'll want each to have a unique MAC address. This is set in the AppParameters. As ralphy mentioned, it's also desirable to specify '--retry'. I use a parameters string that looks like: --signal --retry --mac 01:01:01:01:01:0E 192.168.9.12 If you want the service to start automatically when the machine boots up, set its startup type to 'Automatic' in the Windows services Control Panel applet. You may also find that it's necessary to run the service under a user account. You can just create a local Windows account on the machine, give the user a password, then in the same Services applet, tell the service to run using this account. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Only necessary if you'll be transcoding to MP3. Many people run Squeezeslave on a PC at work, so find it necessary to stream lower-bandwidth MP3 rather than FLAC. P.S. Also, should it be a local system, local service, or network service? By default, it will be created as a 'Local System' service. You might need to change this to run under a user account. Create a local user with password, then in the service properties go to the 'Log On' tab and change it to use the account you created and enter the password. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] HowTo- Install SqueezeSlave as a Windows Service
I have SC 7.4 and a couple of players (Transporter and SB3). I plan to have a firewire DAC (Weiss DAC2) run off my Vista (32 bit) pc and use a software player like SS in order to keep SC as my music server and iPeng/iTouch as my remote control solution. However, although I've followed (I think) your and bagawire's instructions to the tee (including --retry) I can;t get SC to find SS. Services says its there but not running. When I use the applet to restart it SS starts for 5 seconds then stops, and the applet/Windows comes back with a pop up that says it's a common occurrence for a service to stop if it's not being used. ? What am I doing wrong. I have the regedit stuff (although my registry doesn't show as many keys as the example, such as Enum and Security) , the SC IP address, etc etc. I even loaded LAME files(although not sure why). I use FLAC mostly. I realize SS won't handle hirez files (and Squeezeplay might, but it's a mess right now) but even if I use it for 16/44.1 that's 90%+ of my library.
