[SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??
I have an old laptop and decided to turn it into a squeezebox rig. I registered an account at mysqueezebox.com, installed Squeezebox Server on the old laptop, installed Squeezeplayer on the old laptop. Then I configured the SB system to use my Pandora account, my Last.FM account, and added 10 of my favorite Shoutcast stations. Everything is working perfectly! I put the laptop on top of my Onkyo amplifier and wired the headphone out directly to the audio input on the Onkyo receiver. Again, perfect sucess!! Everything is working so great!! What is the point of buying the SB Receiver!!?? Since a PC is required to run SB Server, I do not understand the point of buying the SB REceiver! It seems very stupid device to buy when an old laptop could be used "all in one".

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??
THanks Phil! ok, so if I understand, the main reasons to buy the Receiver would be to get the device closer to the audio amplifier, and do it wirelessly... it is very convenient for some users I guess. And, as you said sound quality. So, I could just build my own PC, buy a good sound card with SPDIF output and wire it directly to the SPDIF on my Onkyo and in that case the DAC is not even being used because the signal path stays in the digital realm the whole time! -- huytere huytere's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35094 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72872 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??
Ok, understood. For me, that is not a problem because my homemade SB rig will have its SPDIF output feeding directly into a Video Storm 16x16 SPDIF Audio Matrix Switcher (http://www.video-storm.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CMX1616V) and this will allow me to send the audio to every room in my house. Every room in the house has a dedicated Onkyo receiver. In my previous question, I did not tell this because I wanted the scenario/question to be clear. Are there any other disadvantages to just running everything on a "single always on home built PC"?? I will be controlling the SB PC with Crestron control system, and be using my own handheld remotes (TPMC3X).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??
For the "looks", I am not worried about it. It will be installed into a proper AV cabinet. All the amplifiers, av matrix switcher, crestron system is located centrally in the equipment room of my house. It is a whole house AV distribution system. So the "sources" will be wii, satellite tv, bluray, squeezebox pc, security camera DVR, etc. Hope that makes sense. I am playing devils advocate so I can understand more about squeezebox. Is there any chance that the audio will have synch issues if the server and player are located on the same physical machine? In my mind, the performance should be "even better" if it is all located on a single machine. -- huytere huytere's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35094 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72872 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for the quick replies. I am on the same wavelength as you eventually everybody in the family will have their own dedicated SB Receiver. All the SB Receivers will be located in the centralized AV cabinet. That way they could have everything setup like they love it If mom goes to the kitchen, she could use the Crestron control system to control the output of SBmom receiver device to ouput the digital audio thru the AV matrix switcher so it plays in the kithcne only. Then as the food cooks she could relax in family room and the audio will flow into there. meanwhile, dad is in the office listenting to his dedicated sb receiver The sb receiver really is priced perfectly at $149! -- huytere huytere's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35094 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72872 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SqueezeIR - A Generic Infra-Red Remote Control Applet for the Duet's SBC
You're almost there. The section look ok but the bit should be outside of it. Therefore, the tail-end of your file should look like this: Code: Listen To Classic Listen To Classic Turn Everything ON true PRONTO AMP ON PRONTO SB3 ON 10 PRONTO AUX PRONTO STEREO PRONTO PLASMA OFF All Off PRONTO AMP OFF PRONTO SB3 OFF This should mean that when the "PRONTO" profile is active in the SqueezeIR settings then the "Listen To Classic" menu will be available from Extras->SqueezeIR. Incidentally, there is a LIRC file for the SB3 which would have made your section alot smaller. Also, if you give the "PRONTO" profile the same name as your SB3 has in SqueezeCenter then it will automatically be activated whenever you connect your controller to it. -- indifference_engine indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66795 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse Order Issue
Hello, I have been using Custom Browse and Custom Scan and am immensely impressed. I can now browse my classical collection much more efficiently. Thanks a lot. I was wondering though, is there anyway that I can have, for instance, Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Composer>Work>Performer from online guide) in their actual order (1...2...3...4.) rather than having them alphabetically ordered by the order in which they are scanned and subsequently the name of the pianist? I have only a few of them performed by Daniel Barenboim and those ones are at the top of the menu despite also having all sonatas performed by Wilhelm Kempff. I have the "sort numeric" boxed ticked because without it the order reads from the start: "No.23 (no idea why it is first) No.1 No.10 ... No.19 No.2 No.21 ... and so forth" Sorry that this is hard to explain but the menu appears like so (with "sort numeric"): "No.14, No.8, No.20, No.23, No.1, No.2, No.4, No.3, No.5 and correct onwards" It seems that they are being ordered in terms of which are being scanned first.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I think the plugin changes the stream to 24-bit, don't know if the frequency changes too. Update for me - My normal speakers are expensive Zu Definition 2s, wideband drivers supplemented at the very top and bottom with supertweeters and subwoofers. But most of the music is without crossovers, characterized by a huge, dynamic colorful presentation. The speakers that got me oriented toward the Definitions are still in the house - homebuilt single-driver, bass-reflex boxes per the "Big Fun Box" recipe on the TNT Audio website. The drivers are old hemp 8"ers from Omega. These normally live in my garage. In the right (small) room, with sufficient room reinforcement they sound great, miniatures of my big 'uns. The wideband signature is there in spades but they do not have nearly the refinement. And, a peaky presence band reveals they're not cut from the same, refined cloth. I've had these speakers in my big system for a bit and really, really wanted to set them up with Inguz, which apparently doesn't work with .cue files. I kept my 'backup' set with .cue and .wav files but for 'play' I sliced up to individual files with Foobar, updated to the SBS 7.5 daily, and spent about an hour doing measurements with Room EQ Wizard and some pink noise played back through the SB (as opposed to REW). Net result? Holy friggin' cow! I'm not one for hyperbole but these $200 speakers are utterly phenomenal once the frequency response is smoothed out. My neighbor knows my main system better than anyone but me, I have him over once a month or so for long, late listening sessions. He came over Friday afternoon for a couple hours and he was blown away. The similarities with the big rig are undeniable. Of course, I couldn't EQ below their natural dropoff at 50 hz and they don't have the same supertweeter sparkle as their 55x more-expensive bretheren but I dialed in a slightly boosted 50 - 200 hz range (better than flat to most ears)and bass is most satisfying with most music now where it was nearly absent before. It is beyond sad to me that this software appears to be on the road to deprecation and I'll soon have to start choosing between staying current with my software and keeping the Inguz plugin which I'll reiterate is THE MOST important plugin of all to this audiophile. It makes your system sound better. What other plugin (or source for that matter) can do that? Anyhoo, wanted to report in and bump the topic up again.

OK, my post about the misleading attachment was misleading. :) The attachment is basically accurate. But, here's a non-misleading version. The player menu does not have a Date and Time option like you have. A couple of questions for you: What version of Sqeezebox Server are you running? What version of SuperDateTime are you running?

I know some of the Aberdeen city exchanges have been enabled for LLU with O2/Be, have a look on samknows.com to see if yours is. They don't do much in the way of traffic shaping or limiting.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] IR Blaster on SC 7.4.1
The plugin is available via the extension downloader. Its usually simplest to install plugins through there. So first delete the plugin from where you put it. Then go to http://localhost:9000, then server settings, then plugins. Look for the plugin on that page. If it is not there then go to the bottom of the page and paste in http://www.gwendesign.com/sc/repo/repo.xml and click apply. The plugin should now appear. Select it and apply. You may need to restart your server. If you install it this way, you should a) get the newest version, b) it will be installed correctly and c) it will be kept updated. -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72851 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
