Scrolling doesn't work. I did try it but it doesn't work on iPhone (it does _something_ but completely breaks the performance of the browser).

I'm not sure how well the "Remove All Data" works in 7.2 because SqueezeCenter is able to remember statistics after rescans in 7.2 (and 7.1 I think), so even if you clear the TrackStat data it will use the persistent data in SqueezeCenter after next refresh operation. I need to check exactly how much I implemented regarding this, I had some idea to remove the SqueezeCenter data from TrackStat but I'm not sure if I ever implemented that.

I really think that SqueezeCenter's CLI mechanism currently provides
all this and more. Trying to make SrvrPowerCtrl a conduit for this
kind of info would simply be reinventing an already extant wheel,
imho.
I would suggest taking a look at Max Spicer's shutdown.pl for an
example of how to query SqueezeCenter via the CLI to get playback
status on all connected players from a perl script:
http://www.thespicers.net/shutdown.pl
Max's script is intended to be run via a cron job, but there isn't any
reason you couldn't incorporate his method into your monitoring
script.
You can always initiate a SrvrPowerCtrl action from your script, again
via the CLI...e.g. to switch a particular player to SN and shutdown the
server from your perl script external to SC, adapt Max's code and send:
Code:
sendAndReceive("srvrpowerctrl shutdown2SN Switching_to_SqueezeNetork
$playerIds[$i]");
..or some such.

A discrete shutdown time function might be a feature that could make it

Using that utility in a cmd file fired off periodically by the windows

thing.
In terms of server _wakeup_, if you are really hankering for wakeup
music from your own server, I would suggest playing around with the rtc
alarm wakeup facility that should be built into your server's BIOS.
Most motherboards less than 5 years old have them, I believe.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC providing MP3 access to Listen Again ?
I can't figure the BBC here - they are not using heavy weight DRM, but they don't appear to want to make native mp3 listen again streams available. So the native iPlayer uses mp3 streamed to a flash client. In this case I suspect it is like the iPhone video playback - its actually a standard stream but the server is checking that the device looks like an iPhone before it sends the stream. (presumably its possible to pretend to be an iPhone to get to the stream) At the same time one of the BBC's own people is posting on their Radiolabs blog about a hack which essentially extracts the mp3 stream from the flash player (and then pipes it into iTunes). See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/2008/09/things_to_do_with_programmes_4.shtml What we all want is a native mp3 stream so that listen again could work natively with a Slim player...

Maybe it is possible to use environment variables instead of a
hardcoded path? On my system (Windows XP Professional), there is an
environment variable named "ComSpec" which by default has a value of
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe". Another one, "SystemRoot" points to the
directory in which Windows is installed (value: "C:\WINDOWS"). If I
remember correctly the corresponding statement in Perl is

When you helped to me, you talked about a download-transcode feature...My question (sorry for asking and disturbing to you) is if this feature must be implemented by you or by the SoftSqueeze program, and if you have idea of when will be implemented... Ah!! A last question, when using streaming, I can stream one song...and then I must streaam another song...Is there any way to stream a disc or a folder...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Updating trackstat after moving music sourcefiles around

The problem is when the two standard tables "tracks" and "tracks_persisistent" have different collate values, in this case TrackStat converts its table according to the "tracks" table with the result that it can't join against the "tracks_persistent" table.

You can't join text columns which have different collate settings and TrackStat converts it's tables at startup to match "tracks". The result is that TrackStat can't join with tracks_persistent which causes the error messages. In a clean 7.2 database started from a completely new database, you will have: - tracks_persistent: Table collate "utf8_unicode_ci", column collate "utf8_unicode_ci" - tracks: Table collate none (which means utf8_general_ci), column collate "utf8_unicode_ci". The important stuff is the column collate and in this case the column collate in "tracks" and tracks_persistent" matches and you can join the tables. So, modifying the TrackStat tables (track_statistics, track_history) won't help because TrackStat will re-convert them at next startup. So you need to correct the standard SqueezeCenter tables to make it work.

So it should be enough to convert it to the same collate as the "url" column in the "tracks" table, something like this: Code: alter table tracks_persistent convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci; or if the url column in the tracks table has collate "utf8_unicode_ci" (which I don't think it have): Code: alter table tracks_persistent convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; If you really want a clean start, dropping and re-creating the database will also work. Just remember that if you do this you might loose information that will take some time to re-create. As an example if you use the "LastFM" or "Amazon" scanning modules in the Custom Scan plugin, you will need to perform a rescan with these which will take some time. However, a clean start is really the best solution if you like to avoid future problems. At the moment you have a database that looks different than the database of most SqueezeCenter 7.2 users. Your database will might be different even if you run the convert SQL directives I mentioned above, those directives only make sure the collate matches but doesn't make sure they are the same as a clean installation.

TrackStat needs to be modified so all its queries is using track_persistent instead of track_statistics, but I don't like to do it until enhancement #142 has been completely implemented. Hopefully this happens before the SqueezeCenter 7.3 relelase, but it has been postponed a few times before. By the way, I just checked the code and if you want the his

> I just came here to search for the exact same thing - same issue > here, had it for a while. This has been an issue with some earlier version for 7.x (3.99.y), but should have been fixed a while ago. Did you ever try to re-configure it? The initial issue might go away with a configuration change. Ah, and a screenshot might help understand (simplest if you can reproduce the issue with SoftSqueeze). As you can imagine I'm running MIS on half a dozen or so players of all kind (SliMP3-SB1-SB2-SB3-Transporter) just fine. > The SB3 doesn't seem to be reflecting my wishes for screensavers at > all, actually - when off it's blank, unlike the settings screen says > it should be, showing WeatherTime.
