Re: [slim] No sound - New install on Windows XP with SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 12047
The buffering is controlled by the player and to some extent the value of network interface interface RWIN parameter. Look in a windows forum for better info as I don't use WMP. I can't see the big difference between Slimserver and the Request (I don't know what this is) product. Both require hardware purchase to get benefit and both have Java GUI to help play the stream. What is wrong with your users running the Softsqueeze applet ? If you want complete control of your broadcast and users will not be using Slimserver GUI then you should use something like Icecast. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

In the log there are these error messages that look serious.

If you think the term foreign refers to the use of Cyrillic character - that is not the case. I'm pretty sure that foreign in this context is an SQL term. That said, I am not familiar with the database issues or issues arising from using Cyrillic characters. I've seen other posts on Cyrillic/Chinese names/tags and there can be problems but I have not seen them with the database error logged. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] No sound - New install on Windows XP with SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 12047
I think everything maybe working normally just there are problems with the player and how it uses the TCP connection. 1. The message is like a timestamp - when debugging it is output regularly. 2. To slimserver if there is no stream connected - it is like a player turned off - there is no point to play music if there is nothing to send it to. 3. Not sure about stop /start but when a stream stop is TCP connections is broken that would mean song is fully buffered and probably discarded on connection shutdown. Use Winamp - pause will stop/resstart song playing with no loss whereas stop will stop the connection and halt playing. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

For 2, I just would expect that if I connect to the stream and then press play, it would start playing. If this inst the case, then its not a big deal.

Windows Media Player I open it, CTRL+U, type in the IP and it tunes in. Then I open up slim server through Firefox. When I select any music to play through the GUI, no music comes out. I have to press stop on WMP and then play in order to get any sound. If I stop and start WMP steam then it just skips forward in tracks. If I select next song on the GUI, it doesnt switch songs for several minutes, where it then switch to another song, not the one I selected. -- poldim poldim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12125 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] No sound - New install on Windows XP with SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 12047
Slimserver is designed to work with a Squeezebox - the stream.mp3 is a side benefit and as such its functionality is limited. If you want a fully functional PC player use SoftSqueeze. To understand your problems you need to understand how the stream.mp3 works with WMP. Stream.mp3 is like an internet radio stream - when you connect it will stream the files on the playlist. Pause without breaking the TCP conneciton and it will not lose data. Break the TCP connection and data which has been sent by Slimserver to the player and buffered by the player will be lost. When connected, Slimserver will send as much data (i.e music) to the player as the player (e.g. WMP) will allow. If the player has a large buffer then Slimserver may send a number of songs which will be buffered by the player (WMP) until it is ready to actually send them to the speakers.. Now to some possible explanations. When I select any music to play through the GUI, no music comes out. I have to press stop on WMP and then play in order to get any sound. I don't know specifics but it is possible that WMP doesn't keep the TCP connection open unless there is data being sent. So you have to press stop start to re-open the TCP connection. If I stop and start WMP steam then it just skips forward in tracks. When you press stop you are breaking the TCP connection between WMP and Slimserver. There will be music (possibly a number of tracks) in the WMP buffer which Slimserver has sent and therefore Slimserver thinks the tracks have been played. It looks like the music in the WMP buffer is discarded and then Slimserver will resume from the next track that Slimserver has not sent to WMP. Use Pause instead of Stop. If I select next song on the GUI, it doesnt switch songs for several minutes, where it then switch to another song, not the one I selected. This is due to a number of tracks being buffered by WMP - as far as Slimserver is concerned it will take action immediately but WMP will have to play all the tracks buffered inside WMP before you will hear the song just selected on the GUI. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the explanations. Are you aware of any ways to lower this buffer? I would like to improve the functionality and use of the stream because I would like to stream to other people's computers, some of which would not want unnecessary software installed (understandable). Request has a module which allows you to basically do the same thing as slim server except it works with its own storage hardware. I've had a chance to use it and it has some nice features in its java web GUI that similarly streams music over the net.
