[slim] convert.conf question

to work for the broken unit is to disable the flac-flac file type in the server settings. This does not work because it disables flac streaming for the good units. Thoughts? -- MrD -MrD === 1 Transporter 2 Squeezeboxen v3 1 Squeezebox v1 1 SliMP3 Linux x86-64 SlimServer 6.5.1

Re: [slim] Quality of Slimserver

Vista / XP / etc... is not server architecture, it is desktop / workstation architecture. Run server software on a server OS. Slimserver is not CPU bound**, it is I/O bound, meaning gets lots of memory and fast disk. ** Unless you are trancoding during playback. -- MrD -MrD

Re: [slim] 6.5.2 with trepidation

Most important bugs (I don't care about any Vista/Windows issues) are fixed in the firmware. You can install the new firmware without using 6.5.2, I've been running this way for weeks. -- MrD -MrD === 1 Transporter 2 Squeezeboxen v3 1 Squeezebox v1 1 SliMP3 Linux x86-64

I use the MySQL that installs with Fedora. You have to create the DB yourself, but then you just put the url, userid and password in the /etc/slimserver.conf. When you start slimserver it will build the tables on the fly. -- MrD -MrD === 1 Transporter 2 Squeezeboxen v3 1

Re: [slim] Squeezebox v3 spontaneously reboots

I have not had a reboot since firmware v81, but then I have not really stressed it too much. I also use strictly flac files. I also use the analog outs. I also recompress flacs on the fly to zero compression, due to 24bit 96khz files in my library. -- MrD -MrD === 1

Re: [slim] SB3 chokes on 24/96

Thanks! Yep, I tried the convert.conf thing and the SB3 plays appropriately. There *is* an audible hiss in the material, however during quiet passages, I am not sure if this is in the source or not. I would have to compare it with my transporter. -- MrD -MrD === 1

How much heat should an off transporter give off? My H20 directv box sits on the TP, the H20 is a small fusion plant and I think the TP's aluminum frame is acting as a heat sink for the H20. -- MrD -MrD === 1 Transporter 2 Squeezeboxen v3 1 Squeezebox v1 1 SliMP3 Linux x86

Re: [slim] Cause/fix for an infrequent high frequency SCREECH?

continues. I have this problem too, only on my SB3 though. It happens on the digital connection; I have it connected to a Marantz receiver. I am going to change over to the analog outs and see if I get the same problem. It definitely sounds like a sync issue on the S/PDIF link. -- MrD -MrD

Re: [slim] Transporter issues

I pulled out the big guns first, only later realizing that I should have tried one thing at a time. If it happens again, I will just cycle the main power. This is the first I have heard about de-magnetizing the knob mechanism. What would cause a magnetic build-up on/around it? -MrD -- MrD
