It was only because I read that getting the server to transcode to pcm instead of the player may improve sound quality that I came across this anomaly. So what I gather is that ipeng is telling the server not to convert but the server is for some reason is still converting to 320. Streaming flac fixes this so I may revert back. Just one other question. Over cellular and streaming flac will it always convert to MP3 even if bitrate limiting set to off? 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
pippin wrote: Depends on your router configuration. What you need to do is to configure your router so that it will forward the WOL packet to your local network (essentially re-broadcast it there). Most routers have a special option for this for WOL. The you have to set the port over which your router does this in iPeng's server settings for your remotely configured server. It then works like this: iPeng sends a WOL packet to your router on the port you configure. Your router then takes that packet and re-broadcasts it on your local network to wake up the server. If you do the whole configuration remotely, you will also have to know (and setup) the MAC of your server, if you do it while you are on your own WiFi, chances are that iPeng can detect the MAC and will then store it as soon as you enable WOL. You can see this in the server settings. Sorry but I'm new to this please can you explain simply. If on foreign wifi do I need to configure the foreign router? What ports do I need to configure/open?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
pippin wrote: There are two possibilities: 1. your router supports WOL, then it has a port that you send the packet to (usually 9) and that's what you enter in iPeng. 2. your router does NOT support WOL, then you might still be able to use it. You'd have to open port 3483 also for UDP (not only for TCP as you do for iPeng's playback; you probably did already do that if you want to connect a Squeezebox remotely) and leave iPeng's default configuration as it is. Then iPeng will use port 3483 for the WOL packet and your router will send it to your server. This, however, depends on whether your server/computer also can use directly addressed WOL packets (usually they get broadcast, which is what the router feature would do) and also your switches and your router will have to remember the IP routes within your network. The problem is that when your computer is off, it technically doesn't have an address so the rest of your infrastructure has to remember how to send messages to it. WOL packets are usually broadcast and send to every device on your network and even in standby the network card will listen for the magic WOL packets and wake up the computer. I obviously can't tell you how your router's configuration works, I only have my own router which does not support WOL. Thank you. So as I understand it: Stick 9 in the port on iPeng and try waking up server when I'm on foreign wifi/3G. Failing that try option 2 as I already have these ports open. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Sorry to gate crash this thread but as it's active I though best to seek advice here rather than starting a new thread. I have been using album art for 30 day free trial and wish to purchase the licence. If mysqueezebox.com goes down will the licence and album art still work? I say this because you have to put in your unique mysqueezebox.com username to retrieve your identity code to purchase the licence.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Hi. I have successfully configured my network in order for iPeng to see my music remotely. All done via port forwarding as the instructions indicate. However when playing any track it stutters consistently. The files are flac. Before I investigate further would you say this issue is because of my underpowered Netgear ReadyNAS Duo?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Thanks. I would have thought bit rate limiting turned on would be better as in my head that's compressing the file to transfer over the Internet. So with it turned off what bit rate is being transferred? Or with limiting enabled is the server not only converting to mp3 but also converting to a smaller size so two jobs instead of one? It seemed a little better with off and I'll try the shine encoder tonight - is that a more efficient encoder? Also would you say this problem will occur on a wifi network outside off my server as well as cellular? IPeng playback works flawlessly at home but I guess that's because the server is not transcoding the flac file, correct?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
It's all clear to me now. I had in my head that the file has to always be encoded to mp3 when using remote playback, so I was a little confused with the bit rate limiting option. Anyway with bit rate limiting turned off the files being streamed is flac. This will help the server as no encoding but uses up a fair bit of bandwidth as it's flac. With bit rate limiting turned on the server has to work a little bit to encode the file to mp3 (hence my stuttering experience) but less bandwidth as it's a smaller file. There's always a compromise hey. I am going to experiment with VPN tonight instead of port forwarding as you say it's safer. Any limitations here please? My router is ok with VPN but not sure if my NAS is. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Garym - presumably with bit rate limiting on and the song playing but stuttering means some form of transcoding is occurring on the NAS. I'll have to check the settings on the server to see what decoder is being used. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Thank you. On the reverse, if I was to leave it as port forwarding as I know this works, I have just set up a password for squeezebox server. However can all my files on nas be accessed by someone unauthorised? I know you now need a password for squeezebox server but is my 'c' drive not protected? Also with remote playback could I take my SB Radio to another wifi hotspot say a friends house and play music remotely off there perhaps controlled by iPeng?

garym wrote: I'd say yes, particularly if it is the older model duo. I'm assuming it needs to transcode from FLAC to mp3 before streaming to you phone. If so, this could be an issue for the ReadyNas. And do you even have Lame or shine installed on the REadynas to be able to do the transcoding? I've just checked and in the flac section the mp3 stream format is disabled. So what is flac transcoding to when I turn on bit rate limiter? The other stream formats are AIFF = flac FLAC = native and PCM = flac. I can't change MP3 so I assume no encoders are installed. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
I've installed the beta version and after a little tweaking I seem to be able to switch players over to mysqueezebox.com, turn SBS off, turn the Nas off and turn off all players with one press of the button on iPeng. Just one thing of note. I appear to not be able to acces the 'extras' menu on iPeng once this has all been actioned. The tab is there - it shows the + sign but not the name 'extras' next to it and nothing happens when I press it. To resolve this I have to do a hard reset on the iPhone which restarts iPeng. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Great advice. Much appreciated. I think I'm there with this now. I'm truly grateful for all your advice, you've saved me a lot of time and I've gained very useful information. I wish I had taken the plunge a while back and explored all of the additional 3rd party features (Squeezebox has been my music facility for circa 4 years) I like the album flow applet for my touch and radio - I will be purchasing the licence when my free trial expires. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Thanks for this information. Having enabled SrvrPowerCtrl on the LMServer I can successfully shutdown/restart the nas remotely via iPeng without changing any settings. What I can't do is once shutting down the players (Touch and Radio) will not switch to Squeezenetwork. Would you say the shutdown command needs amending? I have enabled ssh and can access via PuTTy. I can run the 'ps aux | grep 'squeeze' and it chucks out some information but I'm a bit stuck from here. Could you explain what I need to do from here. I would like the use the 'switch to Squeezenetwork' function when shutting down. Does iPeng switch too as I couldn't get this to work either. Finally I guess as my Nas does not have WOL I can't start up the server remotely via SrvrPowerCtrl - is this right? Thanks.

Just another quckie question on the WOL feature. The Netgear Readynas requires the WOL packet to start up the NAS from a cold 'off' as the NAS won't be in standby so to speak but will be turned off with power connected from the mains. Does this make sense and can the WOL packet start up a NAS from cold? 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Up until last week everything was working great, I could switch my Receiver to MySqueezebox.com, back to my NAS and visa versa using iPeng no problems. Now ever since one evening when I didn't switch servers after turning my NAS off and the blue light displayed on the Receiver for a couple days, I am now unable to toggle between servers WITHOUT unplugging the Receiver from the mains and plugging it back in again. I recall I used to do this in the past then strangly it just worked, maybe after an iPeng and/or SBR update! Is there anything I can do/test to get this working again as it's a real pain to keep unplugging the Receiver. Much appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I understand that iPeng supports mysqueezebox.com and will move players of your choice from your current server i.e NAS to the online server i.e mysqueezebox.com. I have tried this on iPeng, selected my player to move accross and although iPeng changes the server I need to physically uplug my SBR from the mains to run its network connection routine (go through the lights) so it connects to the new server. Surely this is wrong as iPeng would not promote 'changing servers' if you had to do this??? I use an SBR with iPeng on iPod Touch and NAS running squeezebox server. -- 05mattjax 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
