Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
Firstly I just rejoined squeeze brigade after a 2 years hiatus by buying back a last of breed brand new Touch. First thing I did is tried out this fantastic upgrade and it worked the first time, amazing! I do have one question about sharing my dCS USB input between the Touch and a Mac Mini. Is there a sort of switch that can switch between the 2 devices without too much compromise to the sound! I plan to use the mini for DSD playback and the Touch for the rest Thx agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Connecting SBT to an Anti Mode 2.0 Dual Core unit via USB using Triode EDO App
guidof wrote: A few additional minor issues with the Dec. 2 release have prompted DSPeaker to label it beta but there is a surprising consequence of this release. I say surprising because not announced per se, except as incidental to the enhanced USB functionality. The surprise is that the AntiMode Dual Core's sound through the SPDIF connection seems significantly improved. What I hear is increased clarity, better delineation of instruments and voices, truer timbres, in short a more realistic musical presentation. What was already excellent sound quality has been enhanced, at least as heard through my system. Guido F. Now it has Dec 2 R2 to solve all these issues, so worth trying again. ufoerp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=55253 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95996 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] LMS on Ubuntu 12.04 cannot downsample 24/192
Hi all. I've recently upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 and installed again LMS. From that time LMS seems not to recognize 24/192 flac files anymore and to automatically downsample them to 24/96. Any suggestion?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] LMS on Ubuntu 12.04 cannot downsample 24/192
Did you install the 64 bit version, you migth need the ia32-libs installed , LMS is mostly 32 bit and some of the helper apps like sox and flac are compiled for 32 bit . Search the forum ( there is another recent tread i cant find ) there are also some successfully attempts to compile 64 bit versions with the LMS patches instead of installing the 32 bit compatibility packages for everything Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97454 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SqueezePad or iPeng app?
What do you use as a server? I suspect that your server was down so the Touch was left unconnected (and iPeng, too). When you turned the touch back on, it then probably automatically connected to MySqueezebox.com making it remotely controllable again. When you do this and the touch was your selected player in iPeng, iPeng will follow the Touch to MySqueezebox.com so you can still use it (you should be able to see this in iPeng's player list, the active server is shown at the top) but iPeng's player doesn't work there, Logitech doesn't allow that, you need your own server to use iPeng's player. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I'm a little confused about your server question. Are talking about what's on the Touch (Tiny LMS?) or the LMS that's loaded on my laptop (that's where my music files are stored)? My laptop was off when I started iPeng this evening since I just wanted to listen to Internet radio. I just turned it on and now I see both the Touch and my iPad listed as available players. So are you saying that LMS on my laptop must be up and running to use iPeng's player function? What about getting iPeng to see the Touch when I first launch iPeng? Sorry for my newly questions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SqueezePad or iPeng app?
pippin wrote: I don't know. This depends on where you want to play music from. How the Squeezeboxes work, you can only play music from the server you are connected to, so in this case I probably talk about the LMS on your laptop. The TinyLMS on your Touch will only run if you connect a USB drive or an SD card. The problem with this is that if your touch was connected to your laptop before, then this will leave it in an unconnected state, meaning you can't remotely control it. Starting from that, my last post probably applies. Yes. I don't understand what you mean by that? I see, so LMS on my laptop has to be running to us iPeng's player feature. When I first launched iPeng this evening, I couldn't see the Touch under the Multiplayer Control at all. Based on your earlier post, I figured this was because the Touch was last connected to LMS when I shut everything down. However, I did some experimenting since your above post and discovered that even if I shut everything down (iPeng, LMS, Touch) after the Touch being last connected to LMS, when I launch iPeng (leaving LMS off) I can see the Touch as an unconnected player. From there I can tell iPeng to connect to the Touch and then listen to internet radio through my stereo. So it seems I can listen to internet radio without having to run LMS. This wasn't possible when I first started iPeng this evening when it wouldn't show any players, connected or unconnected. As I mentioned, I had to turn the Touch on first before iPeng could see it and list it under Multiplayer Control. So I'm wonder what is suppose to be normal behavior when I first launch iPeng? I'm hope I'm making sense here. :o Saturn94's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If you use MySqueezebox.com as a music source: yes. So I'm wonder what is suppose to be normal behavior when I first launch iPeng? The normal behavior depends on the state of your Touch. iPeng will do three things - search for LMS servers. For all that it finds, it looks for connected Squeezeboxes and shows them. If one of them is the one you used the last time (here: your touch), it will make that server the one it uses as a music source so that you can use that player - connect to MySqueezebox.com (if you have configured that with your mail/password by tapping it at least once).

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SqueezePad or iPeng app?
Saturn94: I'd recommend trying to think of a way to serve your use-cases while minimizing server-switching. Switching servers, as you're finding, often leads to a less-than-optimal experience. Usually there are settings differences between your servers which potentially leads to differing behaviors and menus, your local music is only available when you're on LMS, and the actual switchover doesn't always happen very seamlessly (as you can see). Do you have a computer you could dedicate to running LMS all the time? Barring that, could you use TinyLMS? azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

agentsmith wrote: 1. Where is the best source for a comprehensive list of support documents, FAQs, Downloads, betas, list of plugins, manuals etc...? I tried the Wiki and the info seems pretty thin and not updated. For plugins, the only updated list is the Plugins tab in LMS Settings page, just be sure to enable the checkbox so it shows all plugins and not just the recommended ones which is the default. There are plugin documentations on the wiki for individual plugins which are fairly updated (for example mine) but the plugin lists on the wiki is no longer updated so it's better to start looking in the Plugins tab of LMS. On the Touch you also have the possibility to install third party applets directly on the Touch, these are found in the Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu directly on the Touch, they also have a checkbox to show all applets by default it only shows recommended applets. For support documents/FAQ's, what we have is the unofficial information on the wiki and the official information at http://support.logitech.com/, I think this also have references to user manuals. Beta versions is available here http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/ agentsmith wrote: 2. After so many years of accumulation, my music library is getting quite bloated with tens of thousands of tracks, most tracks were converted to ALAC when I switched platforms, but some FLACs as well. The initial scan took hours but after it is done I noticed that access is so slow the Touch constantly times out trying to connect to the (Macboook Pro) LMS server. Would using iTunes integration solve this problem? (I noticed that iTunes seems quite happy with a crazy size library without much speed penalty.) I don't think iTunes integration helps. Are you running any third party plugins that might execute stuff in the background causing problem ? Feels strange that a Macbook Pro should have any performance issues unless you have hundred thousands tracks or something similar. There is some settings in LMS Settings/Advanced/Performance regarding Database Memory Config and Server Priority which you could try to experiment with to see if they make any difference. Do you have a good network connection between the Macbook Pro and the Touch ? If not, that could possibly explain some performance issues. agentsmith wrote: 3. Since I have FLAC files as well, can the server be configured to support both iTunes and LMS native for FLAC files? iTunes doesn't support FLAC, you can ask Apple for it but so far they have refused to answer any requests in this direction. Converting the FLAC's to ALAC is probably the only way you would be able to make your whole library work in both iTunes and LMS. I think LMS should scan both FLAC and ALAC files as long as you have entered the music folder in LMS Settings, possibly you might have to disable the iTunes integration but if I remember correctly it shouldn't be necessary and it should work as long as you have a Music Folder configured in LMS. agentsmith wrote: 4.
