[slim] Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

Has anyone started looking at the new Audio Video Bridging standards (www.avnu.org)? They look like they could completely change the game for network audio devices like the Squeezebox. -- shawkie shawkie's Profile: http

with a Squeezebox at all? Just build a nice little nano-ITX box and run SqueezeCentre and Softsqueeze on it. Plug in a video sender and listen to it anywhere. -- shawkie shawkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php

Re: [slim] Duet vs Sonos

The funny thing is, the fact that I don't have a Sonos system has absolutely nothing to do with cost. Its simply that I refuse to have such a device operating on 2.4GHz independently of my Wi-Fi network. Those frequencies are simply way too busy (at least in urban areas) already. -- shawkie

there is a reason for it? How do you decide where to place the album in the sort order in that case? Does it appear twice with some tracks in one place and others in another? -- shawkie shawkie's Profile: http

[slim] Re: What handheld to use as a remote?

The Dell Axim can be used a network music player but you'd have to get extra software to do it. Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerned the sound quality of the Axim hardware is simply not good enough. Can't comment on Sony PSP or Nokia 770. -- shawkie

[slim] Re: What handheld to use as a remote?

You might also consider the Dell Axim x51v. I've done some work on a dedicated skin for it (which should work on similar WM5 devices). Unfortunately I don't have a Nokia 770 so I can't comment on relative speeds. -- shawkie

[slim] Re: Dedicated skin for Dell Axim x51v

this. I get the impression that on my x51v the cache is invalidated when you restart IE but possibly a soft reset might help. Also try clearing the cache in the SlimServer directory on the server. Let me know how you get on. -- shawkie

The problem actually seems to be in the Squeezebox firmware. It drops a fraction of a second at the end of every track. Its a known bug. Mark Lanctot Wrote: What's the issue with FLAC? Must be limited to the Qnap device because FLAC playback works perfectly for me. -- shawkie

[slim] Re: Playback hangs on some longer songs (WMA)

I think this is probably covered by bug #2938. For what its worth, I've had trouble with the server-side decoding chopping a fraction of a second off the end of WMA VBR files (only noticeable on dance mixes, live recordings, etc.) so your work around may not be 100% perfect either. -- shawkie

Both PC and Squeezebox are connected to the router by cable! The Network Test plugin indicates I have at least 4Mbits of bandwidth. Oh, and my WMA VBR has gotten off to a good start. The first track stopped half way through (which looks a lot like bug #2938). -- shawkie

[slim] Re: Squeezebox3 seems very buggy

get longer gaps near the start and small gaps at fairly regular intervals all the way through the track. I guess thats logical. But why does it play perfectly when transcoded to WAV which is 1440kbps? -- shawkie shawkie's

[slim] Re: Squeezebox3 seems very buggy

of a track it is possible to rewind through the track break into the previous track. So why is this not possible from the start of a track? 7) This bug is definitely still present in both 6.2.1 and the latest beta. -- shawkie
