I'm running SlimServer (v6.5.0) on Windows XP Pro SP2. It streams to my new SB3 (v64) over 802.11g (60%+).
My initial installation (before adding 3rd party plugins) was painless and fast - I was up and running in 5 minutes (what a great product!). I installed SuperDateTime. It too came up without issue and was quite cool (kudos to Greg!). Being able to customize stock values and weather formating was a big win. I then tried the Sirius plugin (v0.6.7). Before I ran the server with it, I visited the Sirius website and verified I could a) login and b) playback their streamed content via their webpage. I then setup the SlimServer with my credentials and increased the timeout (20 seconds). On the SB3, I was able to connect to Sirius, select a channel (e.g. by number), and get "Now Playing" to display the name of a song (I assume the one that was being streamed). Unfortunately after hitting "play" the time count never got past (0:00) and the VU meters stayed flat. I tried different channels and always got the same result. Per the "Known Issues", before I tried the plugin I unchecked the box for the line that covered "Windows Media (built-in)" and restarted the server. I did not change any of the other three Windows Media line items. Here are my Windows Media file type settings: [X] Windows Media, FLAC [ ] Windows Media, MP3 [X] Windows Media, WAV [ ] Windows Media, Windows Media (build in) Was my setup correct? Did I miss any steps? Any suggestions for what to try next? Thanks! Jeff BTW, what are the semantics of the file type table? Is there any documentation on it? How do the 4 lines apply to different Windows Media formats? E.g. my music library is ripped to WMA Lossless. If I read the various threads correctly the server will transcode WMA lossless to FLAC before sending it to the SB3. So I assume the first line applies somehow to that scenario. But what about WMA9 lossy? Does it become WAV? Or is it sent natively? I assume that latter based on the high level marketing materials, but it's unclear to me how this policy is imposed and what role the table plays. Any insight into this would be appreciated. -- nojaggies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nojaggies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8640 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29989 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
