Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Setting presets on the Touch?
Hi http://bugs.slimdevices.com/ file bug. I Would prefer the old style thing like it used to be with the SB3 (classic) that the number buttons where connected to the favorite list. Presets. Not possible to edit in the web-UI !!(major case of brain fart to not implement this) Can only be as many as there are buttons 1-6 on boom or radio . But they are per player so every player can have different presets . Favorites. Are per server so the list applies to all players on the server, but they can be as many as you want as far as i can remember . I can not remeber if it where possible to choose favorites above 9 or not ? The favorite list can still be used with the menu system and arrows. So it's only it's connection to the 1-9 buttons that has been removed. Favorite can still be added and edited in the web-UI . On mysqueezebox.com the favorite list has the limitation that it can not have subfolders. A really complicated favorite menu can not be entirely navigated by the number buttons, but you would assign the most used ones a sensible place in the favorite list (1-9) The ideal compromise would be a favorite list per player that could be used with number buttons, this will satisfy both functions. And be possible to edit in the web-UI . And keep the ability to assign buttons by pressing them for a long time. There could also be a user setting to keep using a the global favorite list with the number keys. Both should exist at the same time. Btw you can not use presets on the SB3 (aka classic) either with the never version of the server nor does the number button go to favorite list they do nothing usefull there either ? This makes even less sense why remove a working function on an old product and replace it with nothing ?

Sorry, but that's just wrong. I just did a reboot on my Touch and it didn't clear the network or wifi settings or anything else. It didn't even clear the playlist that was active at the time I rebooted. As noted earlier in this thread, there is a difference between rebooting via the button (give it a short press), versus using the button for a factory reset (press and hold the button for ~15 seconds). The latter _will_ clear network settings.

I know, I know, everybody is telling me I'm crazy to use the Touch as a server, and they are most likely right. For now, the Touch works perfectly for me as a server, for zero additional cost and minimal additional power. But I suspect I may get to that eventually, especially if I start adding other SB devices... Actually, rather than using one of these low power servers, I personally would use a Linux netbook, that would give me both a server and a UI in a single low power box. Moreover, because it's a higher volume product, in theory it's cheaper and more tested. We were supposed to have ARM netbooks by now, I wonder where they are...

You can check the various threads about that. You would need to give a bit more context about "won't connect". Is it after pluging the HDD to the Touch ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] No "Play" or "music" option when using USB stick
You won't be able to play the music right away. You need to start the Touch's internal Squeezebox Server (SBS), which I think is what you are referring to as option 1. This starts the SBS which first needs to scan audio files on your USB drive to build the music library. Depending on the number of audio files, this might take a while. Once the scan is complete, you should be able to find your music under "My Music" in the main menu. If you were connected to a different library (e.g., served by an SBS on your PC) prior to attaching the USB stick, you may need to first switch to the USB sticks library (not sure if this step is required). This can be done by choosing the appropriate library under "My Music" > "Switch Library". -- gmudunuri Main rig: SB Touch -> PS Audio DL III (Cullen IV modified) -> PS Audio Trio C-100 (Cullen III modified) --> Dunlavy Aletha full range speakers.

Do you have Squeezebox Server (TinySBS) running on the Touch? As I recall it isn't running by default, to save resources. So I would select the first item and make sure it is running.

What type of display > does the VBA have? Can I output the display to my plasma? First, do you realize that the VBA is "another computer"? It happens to be less power hungry than a lot of computers, but it's a computer nontheless. The SB connects to the VBA through your router. If they are all in the same cabinet then it's best to use ethernet (wired) connections for router<-->VBA and router<-->SB. The VBA has no display of its own. It has a VGA video output. I'm not sure of the specs on the video card, but I assume it is pretty basic. That is partly how they keep the power consumption down. My server uses the same basic hardware as a VBA, and when I need to attach a monitor my 19" LCD TV works fine with the VGA connection. But if your plasma is very big or you're looking for HD video, then VBA's video probably cannot deliver. Also, if your Touch is in a cabinet, how do you plan to control it? There are good options that don't require physical access to the Touch (eg, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android phones, SB Controller, another pc).

You can use the Squeezebox's analog outputs to connect to the Aux ports on your receiver.

The difference is that a power off clears its basic memory and starts again looking for files that already exist using network settings that already exist. The cold boot by use of the rear switch clears everthing and things like your network/wireless settings have to be put in again. I find this somewhat tiresome but a good start following a software update. -- Waldo Pepper Waldo Pepper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39029 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Seperate menu for classical music etc...
I'm not sure whether it's best to post this in the Touch section or the ripping section but here goes... Rather than having my entire Library accessed via My Music > Artists I would like to be able to seperate all of my music for particular genres into a seperate menu option. eg: My Classical > Artists contains all my Classical and Opera. My Jazz > Artists contains all my Jazz My Music > Artists contains everything except the categories catered for above. Is this possible with the Touch? -- Howlindawg Howlindawg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35871 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83257 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I'm no techie but I can assure you, once you get the hang of the Squeezebox, you will happily say good bye CDs, vinyls and ithings. -- carib carib's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83221 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Of all the people who come to me for advice on "those computer thingies", it's my mom who is the least knowledgeable and also the easiest to help. If I tell her backups are important, I can rest assured she dutifylly makes frequent backups of the company accounting data. If I install a program to handle a specific task I know I won't find it replaced by some bastardized "build of the day" abomination because someone on the internet told her it was the coolest thing. Only problem is supporting over the phone, understanding her terminology when describing what is the problem takes quite a bit of imagination. -- alfista alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83221 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Setting presets on the Touch?

Hi, I can confirm, presets on the remote do not work with the Touch, 7.5.1. However, I found this comment in another topic: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=531854#post531854 I have modified the ShortcutsMeta.lua file accordingly, and miracle happened, now I have all buttons 1-9 on the remote working nicely: station is set on press and hold, and switch to the station on press. If you are comfortable with fiddling with lua files, I recommend to follow suit. Two questions, if someone could kindly help: 1. The zero (0) still does not seem to work, even if I set it the same way as buttons 1-9 in ShortcutsMeta.lua - any special reason? 2. I would like to assign one remote button to start one of the applets, the weather application from extras. How could I do it..? What function would I need to add to the lua file?
