Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Strange display when viewing albums
The Touch displays a larger font when you use the remote. If you're using the remote, you are not close to the touch, so the font gets larger. This function can be defeated >settings>screen>select skin>remote skin. Then select small text skin.

You have LMS running on a Macbook Pro, your music files are located on a NAS, you access the NAS over your home network, and your Mac Mini has nothing to do with Squeezebox or LMS. I think if you had the music files on an external hard drive plugged into the Macbook Pro, the performance would be faster. Is there any way you could test this. This test would the eleminate the posibility of slow network access between LMS and the music files as the cause of the problem.

Maybe not minutes but not hours. The software has to be downloaded and burned to a CD (using ISO burning software). The target computer is then booted up using the ISO CD which wipes the hard drive and loads up the Vortexbox operating systen. This sounds more complicated than it actually was for me.

I think Mnyb was saying LMS works smoother if the music files are locally attached rather than network attached. For example having the music files stored on your Mac’s hard drive, or on an external hard drive attached to the Mac, might be faster than running LMS on the Mac and accessing the files over your network. I think garym was referring to running LMS on a slow NAS as compared to running LMS on a Vortexbox Appliance (the hardware solution of Votexbox).

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Unsupported Sample Rate
My understanding is the Touch does not support anything above 24/96. When using LMS/SbS on your PC, the software coverts 24/192 to 24/96 and sends to your Touch. The Touch is not seeing the 24/192. The server in the Touch itself does not have enough computing power to make this conversion, hense the unsupported sample rate message. In your setup do you really do have both coax and RCA cables from the Touch to the DAC? If so, you would be listening to the Integra's DAC if you select the coax input on the AVR. If you select the RCA input on the Integra, the Touch DAC is sending an analog signal to the AVR. If the Integra has a "direct" or "pure" setting it might bypass any internal processing (you would have to check the Integra's manual) and you would be listening to the Touch DAC. -- CharlieG CharlieG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92823 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Weird Thumbnails
Although the clean cache folder worked for the moment, the next time I added an album to my library the problem came back. It would take multiple tries of cache clean-up and clear library and rescans to get the thumbnails to display correctly on my Touch. Now remember this problem was just on my Touch not on my Controller. Today I was about to rip 5 albums into my library and was complaining about this problem when my wife said if the artwork is only wonky (thats a technical term) on the Touch, why dont you reset the Touch? I used the small button on the back to reset the Touch and now the artwork is correct even when I just rescan for new and changed music. Since this worked it suggests there is an artwork cache in the Touch and not just on the server. Does anyone know if this is correct? It also suggest my wife is smarter than me:-) -- CharlieG CharlieG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81786 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Weird Thumbnails
I have recently noticed a bit of weird behavior viewing thumbnails of album art when browsing albums on my Touch. Last week I noticed the album art for one album was missing. I looked at the file on my PC and saw the art there. I performed a clear library and rescan everything and then I had album art on that album, but it was the wrong artwork (it was artwork for another album in my library). I performed another clear library and rescan everything and everything looked correct. This weekend I added three albums to my library, performed a look for new and changed music and two of the three new albums had the wrong album art on the thumbnails when browsing albums on my Touch. I got my Controller (I have a duet in another part of my house) and all of the thumbnails were correct on it when browsing albums. Then, on the Touch, I drilled down into the album (actually both albums with incorrect artwork), selected a song, displayed the artwork for that song, and it was correct. I played that song (on the Touch) and the now playing screen was also correct. I performed a clear library and rescan everything and the three new alums all had the correct thumbnails, but several others (albums that have been in my library for months) were wrong. Again this was just the thumbnail view and just on the Touch. I performed another clear library and rescan everything and everything is correct. I dont understand how the thumbnail view would be different from the now playing view, and how the Controller would be different from the Touch. It is working properly now but I am just trying to understand this. I welcome any comments or questions. Just to be clear, I'm selecting "My Music" - "Albums" and looking at the thumbnails of album art on the left of the screen. I am running SBS 7.5.0 on an XP machine, FLAC files ripped with dBpoweramp, the Touch and Receiver are wired, and of course the Controller is wifi. -- CharlieG CharlieG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81786 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
