[SlimDevices: Touch] HDD removal
When i put Touch in sleep mode, or power off (offline) nothing changes (somehow annoying light from screen all night), except small sign in the upper left corner of the screen power off (or sth. like that). When i detach HDD in this mode Touch wakes up with warning - HDD improperly removed, data loss possible... i do not understand that - if this is really power off there should be no issue with removal of HDD - at least from computer experience when off one can do whatever needed with HDD? Is there any way around, or one has to wake it up and remove hdd via context menu and than put it back to sleep mode? btw. what is TinySC? -- Zibi Zibi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78360 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] HDD removal
The Touch doesn't power off. It just goes into a standby mode. If you want to remove the hard drive, you should use the menu item to disconnect it _before_ turning off the Touch. You shouldn't just disconnect it. You must turn off the Touch yourself - it won't turn off by itself. It will only go into the 'When stopped' screensaver. You need to go out to the Home menu and press the power button in the upper left corner. The screen should turn off, but only if you have 'Screen off' set in ettings Screen Screensavers When off. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78360 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Change of Title Format in TinySC
I tried to change the Title Format in the server.prefs file of the Touch via SSH, but I did not manage to set it to the format I want : DISC-TRACKNUM. TITLE In the server.prefs file, I have the following lines: titleFormat: - TITLE - DISC-TRACKNUM. TITLE - TRACKNUM. TITLE - TRACKNUM. ARTIST - TITLE - TRACKNUM. TITLE (ARTIST) - TRACKNUM. TITLE - ARTIST - ALBUM - FILE.EXT - TRACKNUM. TITLE from ALBUM by ARTIST - TITLE (ARTIST) - ARTIST - TITLE titleFormatWeb: 0 I changed the last line by putting 1 instead of 0, in order to select the second Title Format: titleFormatWeb: 1 So now, in the title format, I have the number of the track, but for albums with more than one disc, I don't have the disc number, but only the track number. So, for example, I see the following tracks for an album with 3 tracks in disc 1 and 2 tracks in disc 2 : 1. Track 1 2. Track 2 3. Track 3 1. Track 4 2. Track 5 This is only when using TinySC. With the server running on my Mac (and with also the titleFormatWeb value 1), with exactly the same music files (so the same Tags), I have the correct titles: 1-1. Track 1 1-2. Track 2 1-3. Track 3 2-1. Track 4 2-2. Track 5 (In both situations, I have also the groupdiscs value set to 1) So, is there a bug in TinySC or am I missing something ? -- rotho rotho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78364 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] HDD removal
The onscreen power button does two things: Stops anything thats playing. Engages the OFF screensaver. There a settings page from which you can set the OFF screensaver to be many things, including completely screen off. There is a bug that prevents the OFF screensaver from being engaged if the Touch is not connected to any server. So if you are not connected to a network and you unplug the drive, the builtin server will shut down and now the off screensave won't show up. If you have the Touch connected to a network with an internet connection it will connect to mysqueezebox.com (an over the internet server) when the drive is unplugged, thus the power button will work. The Touch comes with a minimal brightness setting (settings-brightness-Minimal Brightness) which allows you you to set how bright the screen is when its dark in the room. You can set this very low so its just a very dim glow in a dark room. It will still get bright when you turn the room lights on (or the sun comes up and you have the curtains open) BTW TinySC stands for Tiny Squeeze Center, the original name for the builtin server that runs when you plug a USB drive in. (since then the server has been renamed Squeezebox Server, so it should probably be called TinySBS, but the original name has sort of stuck) Its called Tiny because its stripped down so it will run on the limited resources of the Touch. TinySBS starts up when you plug in the drive and quits when you unplug the drive. You should always use the Eject item from the menu before physically unplugging a drive. The server keeps the library database on the drive, if you just unplug it you can corrupt the database stored on the disk and then all kinds of strange things can happen. (it probably won't corrupt the songs themselves, just the database) John S. -- JohnSwenson JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78360 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

This would be handy for people who want to have their Touch be more trans-portable.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] how to open up the squeezebox touch?

Modern computers with motherboards that follow the ATX spec do NOT fully power off when you hit the front power button. They can not because that power button is just a momentary switch.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch problems
I've been using the Touch for a week and am impressed by the sound (digital, not tried analogue). However, I'm wary of recommending it to others at present for various reasons. 1. Where's the manual? The quick start guide gets you going (though I only read it after setting it up), but it is very low on information for a device that needs a fair bit of tweaking. 2. The built in server stops regularly. 3. It says it's scanning files when sometimes it's not (hard drive silent). 4. It'll crash if you scroll through the database quickly whilst playing. 5. Sometimes repeats the first part of a track continually for no apparent reason on tracks that have played ok before and do again later. 6. Sometimes 96/24 flac files stutter with buffering message appearing. 7. Sometimes a wipe rescan works, sometimes it doesn't just hangs. 8. The Touch claims the username password is wrong sometimes. Since there doesn't seem any way to change this without a reset to default this is a bit baffling. This is with an almost new mains powered 1.5TB Samsung USB drive that has been rock solid in use with an NSLU2 with approx. 18000 tracks, mostly flac. The files were copied over from another drive, so no fragmentation issues likely. As far as I can tell there is no problem with the USB drive: if you leave it a while, you can hear it come out of standby when you use the Touch. I've got so frustrated by the flakiness constant worry that something will crash it that I've set up an Eee PC running Ubuntu as server to use in the meantime. I'm not overjoyed as one of the things that made me go for the Touch was the ability to run without a separate server: I'll only ever have one further client in future which will either be a Squeezebox or something reading the SAMBA share. Overall I'm reasonably happy, but disappointed with the internal server. I hope the next firmware release solves these issues! As someone who has used various flavours of Linux on and off for many years I'm used to a bit of mucking around, but can imagine the horror the average customer would feel if they'd just bought one. -- floater floater's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38048 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78386 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

(hdd is fast enough to feed the data). All my activity is without network. No thats definitely not normal. I've never seen it happen - ever. That means the player ran out of data in its buffer (which is pretty good size), which either means something is REALLY slowing down the server or the server has died. Are you running anything else on the Touch? SD card with pictures maybe? Your best bet at this point is to look at the log files when something bad happens. The log files are exported over the network so you can use another computer to look at the log files. They should show up in the networking Places under windows netowrk section of Windows Explorer, if using a Mac I have no idea how to look at a network share, but I'm sure it can be done. When you click on the Squeezebox Touch it wil ask for a username and password. You can find these out in the USB_storage sharing window. Once you have it connected you should see the logfile directory. Look in there to find out what has been happening. Error messages such as the rebuffering thing should show up in the log along with other messages about what was happening, this should help tracking things down.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Change of Title Format in TinySC
JohnSwenson;544027 Wrote: Interesting, since TinySBS is closer to 7.6 server than it is to 7.5 server I wonder if an external 7.6 server would behave the same way? Good point. You're right. It behaves the same with an external 7.6 server, but works correctly on a 7.5 server. With TinySC or a 7.6 server DISC is suppressed, DURATION is suppressed, and it won't display FILE.EXT. It's interesting that it isn't simply failing to perform the token substitution, it's actually purposely removing them. If you use a title format containing '(DISC)' or '(DURATION)' it also removes the parentheses. For example, The Beatles [White Album], track 1 of disc 1, using the titleformat of 'DISC-TRACKNUM. TITLE (DURATION)'. With 7.5: 1-1. Back In The U.S.S.R. (2:43) With TinySC and 7.6: 1. Back In The U.S.S.R. So, is it a bug? It still bothers me that the SqueezePlay based players no longer have their own individual player titleformats, but are instead tied to the titleformat used by the server and intended primarily for the web interface. SqueezePlay in many ways has been a large step backward in terms of usability compared with the prior implementation. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78364 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch problems
1: There is no printed manual. There is a section for the Touch in the wiki, click on the community tab at the top of this page and go to the wiki. Scroll down to the Hardware section and click on the Touch entry. This gives a few general hints about using the Touch ibternal server. Its a little paranoid about bus powered drives. There are many bus powered drives that will work fine when plugged direct into the Touch. Some though actually draw more power than the USB spec allows and these will have problems. Thus the recommendation to use a powered hub with bus powered drives. The consensus here seems to be: try it direct first and only resort to a powered hub if it doesn't work when connected directly. There is no detailed reference manual that goes into detail about every menu option on the Touch. Your best bet is to spend some time and go through all the setting options and get familiar with what is there. There is a lot of stuff under the advanced settings menu. It sounds like most of your issues are related to server problems, I'll cover a procedure I have found which seems to have a good probability of success, its similar to the one in the wiki, with a few modifications. First eject the drive (from home menu) then unplug the drive. Unplug the power on the touch. Plug the drive into a PC or Mac and delete the .squeezebox directory. On some OSes a name that starts with a '.' is hidden so you should turn on hidden files. This deletes any existing database on the disk. If you have a corrupted database on the disk from a previous scan that didn't complete strange things can happen. Now plug in the power to the Touch. Wait a couple minutes so the initialization is complete and things have settled down. Now plug in the USB drive. You should get a popup saying the a USB device has been recognized and the server is starting. You will get a message about ejecting, at this point say you want to see the progress. From now on do not do ANYTHING with the Touch. Don't touch the screen, don't try and show pictures, don't try and look at the menus, don't try and play internet radio. This is very important, the scan process takes a lot of memory and anything else you do can use up enough memory that the scan can crash. This starts a full scan of the disk. This can take a LONG time for large collections of music. Yours is not too big so it shouldn't be too bad. First it finds all files on the disk and determines which are audio and cover art files. You will get a file count as it goes. When it has visited all the files you will get a completed message. Then it goes and reads every audio file it previously found and extracts any tag information in the file. It builds a database of information about each song. This can take a long time. When it is done you get a completed message. Now it goes and reads the cover art it found on the disk. At this point it is cataloging and resizing the cover art. Large cover art can really slow this down, and might even crash the server if the image size is really large. Again when it is done you will get a completed message. You need to wait until you get all three completed messages before continuing. At this point you can touch the Touch again. Here is where I differ, at this point I recommend ejecting the USB device using the home menu, physically unplug the drive cable, unplug the power to the Touch. Plug the Touch back in, wait a couple minutes. Plug the USB drive back in. At this point it will do a quick scan looking for any new files it didn't see last time. If there was nothing new on the disk it should complete this fairly quickly and NOW you are ready to play music! Many people don't wait long enough for the initial scan to complete and thus leave a corrupted database on the disk. Thus the next time they plug it in it goes and does a full scan. They then try and play music while its still scanning, causing all kinds of problems. One very important thing to note is that if the drive is plugged in when the Touch boots, you get NO indication whatsoever that a scan is happening!! Thus when you try and play music things are going to be very slow and its quite easy to kill the server when trying to play music while a scan is going on. This is why I highly recommend to get in the habit of always plugging the drive in AFTER booting the Touch, then you KNOW when the scan is done. If you try this procedure and you are still having the problems come back with the details and we can try and work them out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Got the touch but why this random...(multiple issues)
The power button doesn't actually turn the power off, all it does is stop any playing music and bring up the OFF screensaver. You have many different choices for the OFF screensaver including a full screen off. There is a bug in the touch which prevents the off screensaver from starting when you don't have a server connected (external or internal). So it sounds like you are trying to push the power button when the drive is not connected or when the server has died.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)

And now, on the HDD, the reading of the 24/96 files is perfect (even when using the other now playing screens : large cover, vu-meters, ...). So my conclusion is the following : TinySC uses far more CPU when playing music files from a huge database. What could be the explanation ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Search engine
This is to the best of my memory. - First, there's a server setting that affects whether your search string will be matched only at the beginning of words or anywhere within words. Note the _words_ part. Words begin either at the beginning of the string or after a space. Find it at: Settings My Music Search Within Words If you set it to 'within words' then 'body' will match both 'Body and Soul' and 'Everybody's Gone'. - Searches are case insensitive. - It does a simple string match on the _entire_ string that you enter. If you search for 'soul body', then you're looking for that exact string. It's not like a web search where you're searching for something containing the two words 'soul' and 'body'. - All of the data strings that can be searched (artist, album name, track title, etc) have a 'search' version stored in the database. These fields have all punctuation characters replaced by spaces, and multiple spaces are folded into a single space. This is why 'body soul' matches 'Body Soul'. - The same thing is done for the search string entered. Searching for 'body soul' is the same as searching for 'body soul'. If you were to search for 'coleman #%@ ^$- +! hawkins' it will find 'Coleman Hawkins'. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78384 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
I don't have that big a library, only about 15000 songs and I don't see that behavior at all. In may case the server gets up to about 10% max when playing files (even 24/96 flac -8) The only time I see it going high is when the scanner is running. Is there a chance the scanner is still running? Are you booting the Touch then plugging in the drive and watching the scan to see when it finishes? (there will always be a scan when you plug a drive in). The only other thing I can think of is if a bunch of retries are happening. There could be issues with a large database when skipping ahead in a playlist, but once a song is playing I don't see how the number of songs can cause a problem other than normal things like fragmentation.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch USB drive not visible on computer
Putting my Touch IP in Explorer connects me to a web address in China. Humorous, but still no Touch USB drive viewable from my computers. Any more ideas? It seems like this should be easier... Thanks again!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Adjusting text size
bigbwb;544151 Wrote: Terry, I agree as well. If it were not for my iphone ipeng app, I would be pretty disappointed. Fortunately for me as we discussed earlier, the analog outs sound great to me in my setup, so I guess I can live with the distance viewing shortcomings. Coming from the Deut(with no obvious screen viewing other than the controller) you must have been set on having the ability to see the text and also hoping for better digital out performance. In your case, neither came true. Can't win them all:) Hope to see you boys soon! Brandon As you already knew, my first goal was a better digital source. I took the Touch over to a coworker/audio friend's house last night for an objective co-listener before I made the decision to send it back. After last night, I'm sending it back. If the screen had been viewable from a greater distance, I would have kept the Touch for my basement setup. But as it's not... I'll just wait for the next, and hopefully improved, Squeezebox. Until then, my Duet will be working just fine. -- TJHUB TJHUB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78217 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
I will make more tests this evening (I have just finished the restoration of the initial contents of my FAT32 formatted HDD from its twin HFS+ HDD : I didn't want to spend too much time with no backup of my 400 Gb of FLAC files !). In my initial tests, I had carefully waited that the scan process (which lasted around 2 hours, for 1200 albums / 16000 songs) was finished, but then I hadn't rebooted the Touch before listening to music. After having read your posts, I did other tests where I rebooted the Touch, then connected the HDD, then waited for the rescan to finish, and I had the same problem as before. Anyway, as I said, I will make very careful tests this evening. On a french forum, I read that someone had certain compatibility problems with a HDD which had been FAT32 formatted on an Imac. And that's exactly the case of my HDD : I have formatted it in FAT32 by using the Disk Utility. I did not encounted any compatibility problems (on the contrary : the Touch mounts my HDD a lot faster than my Mac, which is more accustomed to the HFS+ filesystem), but perhaps it could be an explanation of my problem. Perhaps I should reformat my HDD with another method.
