Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Security reminder! Don't open your Squeezebox up to the internet.
Having looked for myself, I was incredibly shocked as to how widespread the problem is. I couldn't really believe people would do that. Blame iPeng's popularity... many use iPeng to stream from their home while on the road, at the office etc. And from the feedback I've had so far many still thought opening ports was _required_. Often one would have said "you need to open port 9000 on your server's firewall to make it accessible for the players" and users went and opened port 9000 on their routers. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] C-3PO plugin, a trnscoding helper.
Learnincurve wrote: > Stupid question here: > > If I have a custom-convert.conf file in the plugin directory, does > that completely override C-3PO? I.e would C-3PO be ignored for that > plugin? Inside LMS there is a 'table' with key: IN format, OUT formar, SB Model, SB mac address. Profiles are loaded by LMS in this order: 1. convert.conf, 2. custom_convert.conf in the server foder, 3. custom_convert.conf in plugins folder (don't know in witch order, I assumme is alphabetical). When a profile is found is replaced by the new one. Then plugins (like C--3PO) could handle directly the table, loading, deleting or replacing 'profiles'. SO, answering your question, NO custom_convet.conf in ANY plugin folder will not override C-3PO settings, BUT some other plugin could sure replace profiles loaded by C-3PO (I know at least dsdplay does). That's why you have the final resulting table exposed in C-3P0.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Performance using network drive for music storage? (LMS running in virtual machine)
I have had LMS running on various machines pointing at my NAS via NFS and sometimes CIFS. As others had said it makes no difference except scan times. The only thing I would add is that if LMS needs write access - playlists etc - then NFS user/group ownership needs to be considered but since you are talking Windows server I guess you will be using CIFS which doesn't present that issue as you must declare the username & password. *Pi3 with piCoreplayer music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets/Jogglers *Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s *Office* - Pi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107853 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Performance using network drive for music storage? (LMS running in virtual machine)
As a network drive it makes zero difference to performance during operation only during scan. Whether that scan is fast enough for you is something only you can answer.. it won't change much as likely the drive itself and the IOPs it supports is the limiting factor. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Why Flash in LMS?
Would this happen with the main web UI? Or only within settings, or some specific plugin? It is on the main web UI, thanks. I checked the code again. Flash should _not_ be loaded in the normal web UI unless you enabled debugging in the skin (which I myself wouldn't even know any more how to do). The main UI uses a stripped down build of the ExtJS framework. Stripped down for performance reasons. Flash seems to be used in some charting module which we don't use. But only the Settings pages should even load that code (it just loads the full framework). -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
