Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Instructions for connecting USB DAC to Touch
Thank you John for the feedback. I had previously restored the default port described in the original asound.conf. I actually started to play with aplay when I noticed that after I did the configuration and rebooted the Touch it could not start anymore until I disconnect again from the dCS (when I guess it invalidates the fact that default output is the USB Dac...) I will try with -v option in order to see if I fall into the case you listed. I wonder if the format of the test file is important (so far I did not have any SD card to send new files, therefore I used wav files available by default on the Touch OS). I will also bring my own audio files that I know are regular 16/44.1 stereo files (most of the files in the Touch are mono from what I can see) -- nidfix nidfix's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18894 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82110 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If I just switch it on from the point at which I switched it off before, it goes straight into the same condition as above, namely: - there is no track or cover art information displayed, just the same 'wallpaper' as if the track and cover art info was there, and the 'Now Playing' bar at the top and the 'track progress' bar at the bottom, but the 'track progress' bar is locked, it doesn't move and remains at the far RH end (i.e. track ended position). Odd. And to confirm, even though you don't get track info, does the track play audio just fine. And can you fast forward to next track, etc. That is, you don't SEE track info/art, but you do hear the track and it plays all the way through, etc. DaveKen;619032 Wrote: If I let it run in this state eventually the screen totally defaults to the digital clock screen but still the music keeps playing - weird or what??

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] mixed genres in one compilation album
Any news on this issue ? I'm experiencing a similar issue with the tiny server runnin on the SBT. If I try to access my music via genres and choose a file of an artist with just one file in this genre (or maybe missing album tag), the listed album is empty (leer in german UI). I cannot pick this empty item and consequently cannot access the song(s) of this artist. Running the regular SBS on my PC (Linux) for the same files, it lists the empty album item as well, but it does list a second group marked as no album (or sim ilar - can't remember), which contains the requested songs. On SBS I'm able to access these files. I've tested both options for the filter settings as described above, but it didn't make a difference. Is this a known bug for 7.5.3 ?

If the album is listed for a given genre, then SBS should display at least one track from that genre when the album is browsed. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85146 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Another perplexing situation...
Thanks Gary. Can I just create a folder in the directory where I store all my music titled Playlists and then copy the tunes I want into it? If I have the artwork already imbedded then the SB should pick up both the data and the art...yes? I do not integrate the SB and iTunes either. The SB is told to scan the drive where my music is stored but I do not check the use iTunes box. I was just looking for a way to create the playlist in the iTunes program and then have the SQ see it...if that means using iTunes and copying all the music into another folder, thats OK. Would that work? Maybe? If not, you said you use SB and iTunes...how do you create playlists that the SB can see. Thanks in advance.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Another perplexing situation...
Playlists are only lists of tracks in a particular format. It wouldn't make any sense to copy the music into another folder just because it's in an iTunes playlist. I don't have iTunes installed anywhere at present -- is it possible to save or 'export' an iTunes playlist as an .m3u file? If so, then do that, and place the .m3u file in the folder you specified for playlists under SBS Settings Basic Settings Playlist Folder. Then do a rescan of playlists and SBS should pick them up. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86460 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] My Album Art went poof!
808htfan;608456 Wrote: Just thought I'd add that I just noticed after upgrading to 7.5.3 and doing a complete rescan (deleted .squeezebox folder) my Touch using TinySBS and a USB HDD no longer shows artwork for any mp3 files. I have embedded art (500 x 500 or smaller, jpg) in all full albums as well as in many 'singles', and a folder.jpg of the same image in each album's folder. All my flac files (singles or full albums) show artwork, as they did before. In previous versions of TinySBS, mp3 full albums would show artork and singles would not. In TinySBS 7.5.3, no mp3 files show art. I just installed fab4_7.5.4_r9376.bin from, http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.5.4/, thought I should mention that all my mp3 art now shows. ID3 v2.3 and even the single tracks w/ embedded art dumped in a 'singles' folder work. So if anyone doesn't like using the 7.6 firmware or changing tag types to v2.4 there's 7.5.4 beta. http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.5 -- 808htfan I want NBC's *-Ed-* on DVD/Blu-ray! 808htfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1298 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77652 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Instructions for connecting USB DAC to Touch
nidfix;619480 Wrote: I start to think that a module is missing for my case. Can someone that successfully had Touch working and has access to a standard linux compare the outcome of lsmod just after the boot before connecting the USB Dac and after connecting it? I can clearly see that in my case it loads snd-usb-audio modules and some others of the same class. As these modules are missing on the Touch, that could explain why the hardware detects the device but cannot make it play. There are no modules, on the Touch everything is compiled directly into the kernel rather than as loadable modules, thus lsmod doesn't show anything, that doesn't mean they aren't there, it just means they are not loaded at run time but linked directly into the kernel. A general purpose linux distribution HAS to use loadable kernel modules because every body's computer has different hardware, it has to be able to load the drivers for that specific hardware. Well all the Touches are exactly the same hardware so there is no need for run time loadable drivers. lsmod tells you what loadable modules you have loaded, NOT what drivers are active. On a system where everything is a module you can sort of use lsmod to tell you what drivers are there, but with the Touch its pretty much useless.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Instructions for connecting USB DAC to Touch

Hello,
Still no luck.
Here is messages I can see:
The definition of plugusb in asound.conf is:
pcm.usbdac {
type hw;
card Scarlatti;
}
pcm.plugusb {
type plug;
slave.pcm usbdac;
}
ctl.plugusb {
type hw;
card Scarlatti;
}
At the same time, if I stream the file to hw:0,0 (the SPDIF card) it
works fine.
It runs kernel SqueezeboxTouch 2.6.26.8-rt16-332-g5849bfa.
Any idea is welcome
This is your problem, you didn't go back to the original asound.conf.
If you want to play music using aplay over the USB port, you CANNOT
have the USB DAC setup as the default device. Squeezeplay opens the
default device, and if its the USB, squeezeplay gets it, which means
aplay cannot open it, (because squeezeplay already HAS it).
Here is the rule: to play music with aplay, the default device CANNOT
be the USB DAC. If you want to play music with squeezeplay (the Touch's
normal player, from the touch screen etc), the default device HAS to be
the USB DAC,
You cannot switch between the Touch and aplay with the same
configuration.
