Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] New member - WMA-problem

 Hey
 Of all the answers this can cause the problem: I use a Synology NAS.
 My Computer has W7. The problem is only with WMA.

do you run the SqueezeboxServer on the NAS? I recall that if you run
SbS on a non windows machine, it doesn't automatically have the stuff
it needs to play WMA files (windows machines automatically have the
needed programs). There are ways to fix this (I recall you need
mplayer). Search the forum for WMA mplayer. See this thread for
example.

Test this by installing SbS on your win7 machine and copying the WMA
files over there. When you connect to this SbS and play, do the WMA
files work?

Touch has same WMA decoder capabilities built in that will be supplied
by mplayer so it is unlikely to provide a proper solution unless the
user has disabled native WMA playing on the Touch.

The only other possibility is WMAL which would require the user to get
a hold of the right Windows DLL and put it on their NAS but that would
require an x86 based NAS with the right Llinux/glibc setup.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Further Dim Display on 'When Off' Screensaver

 There is an automatic brightness mode that senses the light level in the
 room and dims the display when it gets dark. You can adjust the minimum
 brightness level (the brightness it goes down to when the room is
 completely dark). If you want the clock to be very dim during the
 night, set the mode to automatic and the minimum brightness to very
 low. 
 
 John S.

John, while your statement is both correct and informative it does not
address the OP's problem. Once the automatic brightness level is set,
that brightness level doesn't change when the Touch is being used. What
the OP would like is for the screen to return get brighter when the
Touch's screen is being used and then to return to the lower brightness
level once the screen is no longer being used regardless of the light
level within the room. And I agree that this would be a very useful
feature.

Still no luck getting rid of the clicks, but I think I may have found a
way to find the correct format for the dac... Use aplay with -v, for
example the display before seems to show that my dac requires S24_3LE

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] New to Touch: less configurable from Web UI?

2011-02-24 Thread mservaes

I'm a very new user to SB devices... bought the SB Boom and was so
excited about the options, I bought the SB Touch too...

I hope it'll change over time...


aubuti;599471 Wrote: 
 That's the way it is. The Touch, Radio, and Controller are all a big
 shift away from the earlier slim clients (aka slim devices) such as the
 SB3/Classic, Boom, Receiver, and even Transporter. The newer products
 have more memory, more capable processors, and a more capable OS. Thus
 more of the settings can be set and stored on the devices themselves,
 instead of on the server.
 
 I believe there are open enhancement requests for making the settings
 available on SBS as well, but I think Logitech has decided that isn't
 going to happen, so things are likely to continue as they are now.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Problem setting up new Touch

2011-02-24 Thread eganders

In a nutshell, I can't get Squeeze Server on the local Win 7 PC to
control the Touch.

I went through the setup for the Touch.  It appeared to install fine,
and is working on MySqueezebox.com.  I loaded the Squeeze Server
software on the computer,  that seemed to go fine.  In the Squeeze
Server browser interface it shows the Touch. I can click on the Touch
on the pull down menu in the upper right hand corner. Normally when you
do that, if it's on MySqueezebox, it asks about transferring to the
Squeeze Server.   This does that, but at that point nothing happens. 
It doesn't transfer - it just stays on MySqueezebox like it won't
release it.  What step am I missing here?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Problem setting up new Touch

2011-02-24 Thread Mnyb

try directly on  the Touch itself.

Chose  my music then it should offer to go to the local server.
I'm not at home now, but i'm sure there are multiple possible ways to
conect to the local server via the Touch itself, if server discovery
via port 3483 is broken ( it should be open tcp and udpin the fw).
You can actually  conect to remote server in some menu and specify
the ip of the server if all else fail.

Once reconected to you ocla server it should work as usual .

Or goto mysqueezebox.com and diconect it from there.

It think either the web-ui or mysb.com have developed a bug where this
transfer does not work
