[slim] LIBDVDREAD UPDATE REMOVED UDFFINDFILE PATCH BREAKS RPMFORGE PACKAGE

2005-11-07 Thread Gerald B. Cox
The latest version of libdvdread removed a patch which is required to successfully run the dvdbackup package in the rpmforge repository. Can this patch be re-applied? Or, if not, shouldn't you just go ahead and delete the dvdbackup package since this action effectively breaks it? _

Yes, actually the problem can be seen when the unit is powered on after being unplugged and the initial boot sequence starts. Has anyone seen this? > does it disappear if you power the sb2 off and back on? if so it may > be the same issue I saw. ___ D

[slim] Squeezebox 2 Display Problem Question

2005-04-07 Thread Gerald B. Cox
I was playing around with the different screen savers and noticed the following. On the elapsed time and remaining time bar there is what appears to be two vertical lines approximately in the middle of the bar - which would seem to be a marker showing the halfway point. However when switching to

[slim] Impact of change to SOX for ogg users

2005-04-01 Thread Gerald B. Cox
I've notice Slimserver has changed from oggdec to sox. From what I can gather this was done to fix an outstanding issue, which I have not experienced. I'm not really familiar with sox but I ran across this statement in the documentation: "SoX can decode all types of Ogg Vorbis files, but can onl

Yes, SB1 & SB2 have firmware support for MP3 and they use the MAD BTW. Quoting Stuart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: With all this talk of codacs in the firmware, I was wondering about mp3's. Is this done on SB2 in the hardware? I started using MAD http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ on my SB1, do deco

should also ask for ReplayGain support for Ogg Vorbis in firmware as well. Should that be a separate enhancement request or should it just be added to bug 1061? On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 12:45:22 -0800, Gerald B. Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have submitted an enhancement request (BUG 1061).

I have submitted an enhancement request (BUG 1061). I also agree with the other poster that it is a waste of resources. SLIMDEVICES is hoping that the extra buffer and the bandwidth compression of FLAC will be a reasonable stopgap measure. It definitely will be an improvement over WAV and SB1, bu

Hey, I think that is excellent. I sent in a request to SLIMDEVICES to have OGG added to the firmware as I mentioned in a previous post. As a side note, I'm surprised by the negative attitude of a few people regarding the adding of this feature. I don't use FLAC currently, don't have any plans,

Of course it is a business decision. SLIMDEVICES are smart people. They will implement, the question is when. A few reasons: OGG is an open format. OGG is the default for the FEDORA distribution. MP3 was eliminated from FEDORA due to licensing considerations. You can of course obtain MP3 and

I do not run FLAC so I am not familiar with the processor requirements. I do know that transcoding to WAV is not insignificant; and am skeptical of the overhead requirements for FLAC. Regardless, the bandwidth requirements for a FLAC transmission is greater than that of ogg. I have problems now

I have opened a feature request (Bug 1061) as follows: "Native support of OGG VORBIS format in firmware. I've read that FLAC is now supported in Slimserver2. My friends and I have been waiting for native OGG VORBIS support. It is a drag to have to incur the overhead and increased bandwidth requi
