Unfortunately it's been awhile and the machine I did all this on is no longer with us so I don't have the details. Another option is to find where in the boot code the files are being re-written and stop it, but it turned out to be multiple places, it was easier to just aply a patch after the re-writes.

Just make sure the server is not running when you edit the file, as in that case it _will_ be overwritten sooner or later. There's a json file in the prefs folder with information about the media connected etc. That's the one which gets generated whenever you start the device or plug something in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch needs server for various things?
Ok. Small update. Everything seems to work since I switched explicitly to MySB. I do understand that there might be some issues using MySB, but in my situation, using a Touch only, it seems to work very good in combination with the applets running on the Touch (Soma FM, Last.fm, etc.). Running a server 24/7 is no option for me. I find it just as 'weird' as having your motor engine runing 24/7, or having the lights on 24/7 or the heating on 24/7 for just a few hours of traveling, darkness and cold. As the server is also used for real-time transcoding movies(PS3, iPad), it's a rather fast server with a relative high idle power consumption... So the server is running on-demand using WOL over LAN WAN and that saves me about 100/year on my electricity bill. Since I'm using the Touch, I am considering using TinySC and a small mobile harddisk in the future once TinySC / SC matured a bit and all plug-ins have been made compatible with the new version. The mentioned Sheeva/Guruplug combined with again a mobile harddisk is also a viable solution, but I let them fix the powersupply overheating issues first ;) -- Mars Warrior Mars Warrior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80884 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch needs server for various things?
Glad to hear things are running better now. One thing, note that SomaFM, Last.fm, etc are apps not applets. Apps are really services, and even though the interface talks about installing them, they really aren't installing anything. Applets, on the other hand, are things that you actually install and run on the player. Applets only work with newer players (SB Controller, Radio, and Touch), whereas apps also work with older players like the Boom, SB3/Classic, etc. So there are plugins, apps, and applets. Confused? You're not alone. Basically Logitech decided to jump on the iThing bandwagon and get app-happy with what are basically internet services for the SB. Since you have your server running on-demand via WOL, I don't understand why you presume a SB server would have to be on 24/7. SBS can be run on-demand as well. In fact the SrvrPowerCtrl plugin has lots of great options, including switching your players over to mysb.com after a certain idle period, and then suspending/hibernating/shutting down your server. Getting that to play nicely with your video serving could take some work, but running a local music server does _not_ imply it has to be on 24/7. Granted, you'll want to get your SBC WOL problem sorted out first -- did you ever check if audio playback was enabled on the SBC, and if it was, disabling it? Oh, and if you're waiting for SBS plugins to be compatible with TinySBS you'll be waiting a long time. The current lack of plugin support on TinySBS was a conscious decision related to hardware limitations.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch needs server for various things?
Right ;) Since I learned some new features, I had to test them: - I manually connected the Controller to MySB, and WOW, I can add favourites which do show up on MySB (checked using web browser on PC) - While the Controller is connected to MySB, I can control the Touch (stations, volume etc.) - While the server is turned off, I can now select (the previously stored) favourites. But I'm also understanding (bit-by-bit) more why I was confused why I would need the server for just the above things: If I connect to my music library on the server, I can do exactly the same things, but everything is running 'through' the server of which I wasn't aware off: I thought it would directly connect to the internet. On top of that, the Controller remembers that it was connected to the music library on the server, and tries to reconnect, even for playing internet radio or accessing favourites on MySB. The iPhone isn't in at the moment, but I assume that one works the same once connected to MySB instead of my music library on the server.

It's essentially the same server (actually the server on the Touch is closer to 7.6 than 7.5, because it uses SQLite on the backend). Are you sure your scan on the Touch ran to completion? Have you checked the logs? Beyond that, it would help to isolate a particular case that is not displaying correctly on the Touch, and provide more specific details than -shows multiple albums, different artwork, etc.-.

Obviously some of my tags are screwed-up, as the Touch shows multiple albums, different artwork, etc. I connected the same WD 2 TB HD to my PC and it was a stark difference. No multiple albums, and it was much cleaner. I would run the server on my PC if my network were wired, but that is out of the question for my setup. Using Ipeng on my Ipod Touch would most likely choke on my Hi-res artwork and large collection of flac files. So why is the Touch's internal server having such a hard time with tags compared to the server on the PC? Thanks. Perhaps you are experiencing the same phenonemon as I have. The local server seems to scan also the recycle bin on USB drives. The problem is that you do not see this bin under windows, so you don't know it is there. This may be an explanation why you are getting double albums. It's just some stuff that you once had on the drive but was deleted and forgotten about. -- foxx foxx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77793 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as server
cheers for that, I'll give it a try when it arrives. Out of curiosity, would it be possible to map a drive on the Touch so that it's internal SBS can access a NAS drive, or can it only use USB? -- dave77 dave77's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70620 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

You would need to ssh in to the SBT and issue the correct mount commands to logically mount the NAS as a filesystem on the SBT. Others have said that scanning in this configuration would likely be very slow. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70620 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as server
How is the performance of the Touch as a server? Will I notice any lag on the interface for example? I would like to move away from using my PC as a server. -- fairyliquidizer O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!

Perfect :) dave77;479560 Wrote: Finally, The Touch will replace my SB3, as present both Boom and SB3 are wireless and my SBS is wired to the router. When I lose the SBS, would it be best to wire the Touch so that the Boom will not need to make 2 'hops' to get to the music, eg Boom --- Router --- Touch Any comments on this? -- dave77 dave77's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70620 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

That's good :) In that same off mode, ahem standby :), can the Touch rotate images from the attached HD as a screensaver?
