Re: [slim] Control SlimServer _from_ iTunes
Hi there, You've done a good job. The new version works as expected. If you wanna play more with this, it should be possible to do the following w/o too much hassle: Use the AppleScript kit to build a small user-interface. If I could (but I suck at any kind of programming), I'd do this myself. What I would like is the following: A floating window containing two buttoms: - A play buttom - A + buttom The floating window should preferrably open whenever I launch iTunes (I can actually make this myself...that's a simple piece of scripting), and it should remember it's position from time to time (think this is standard behaviour). Then - pressing Play in this window would send selection to play immediately. - Pressing + would add to the playlist. To see what I mean try look up http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19324 . This little piece of freeware launches iTunes when it is launched on it's own, and provides a floating window which integrates nicely with iTunes. Well, this was just an idea - the current implementation works out nicely! Thanks Sune P.S. A bonus feature would be a Play+ buttom. When clicked, it would send the currently selected track + the following X tracks BELOW the currently selected track, in case only one track is selected (basically allowing me to search for something in iTunes, then click on the first hit and activate the Play+ buttom for sending X tracks to the player, without having to make a selection first...). You could either make X a number that we can adjust ourselves OR just fix it to a value of, say, 30 tracks or less (if there is less than 30 tracks, ofcourse). -- Sune Sune's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=8967 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Still wondering...
I use Linux, not Apple, but when I upgraded to SC7, I installed SC7, uninstalled it, reinstalled SS6.5 and repeated that process probably 6 or 7 times in trying to run down a problem. (Turned out to be that SC7 was sensitive to a bad soft-link the the music directory that wasn't bothering SS6.5. SC7 is running fine now.) However, my point is: I had no problem with installing/uninstalling multiple times. (Though I was careful to keep a copy of my configuration files stored elsewhere.) It never took more than a few minutes to switch back to the old program. I'd imagine that OSX can't be any more complicated in this regard.

[slim] Why is Logitec trying to rip me off?
Hi I've been a Slimdives customer for quite a while. I even bought 2 of the original SlimMP3 Players when they first came out (they still work). Today I own 4 players of different generations. Today, when I wanted to order the new Squeezebox Duet in shop on www.slimdevices.com (as I did in the past), I realized that I'm not accepted a a customer anymore. Instead I'm refered to the Logitec shop. In the Logitec shop, the prices are much higher than in the US shop. The Squeezebox Duet lists for 399.99US$ on Slimdevices and for 599CHF in the Logitec shop. Since the value of 1US$ and 1CHF are currently almost equal, it is very easy to compare the prices and so I realized the Logitec/Slimdevices expects me to pay 50% more because I'm living in Switzerland. I can uderstand that products are sometime a bit more expensive in Europe (manual in other language, different voltage), but a dfference of 50% is just a pure rip off. To me this really feels like Logitec/Slimdevices are seriously trying to cheat me.

Re: [slim] Why is Logitec trying to rip me off?
Slim devices isn't trying to cheat you. Logitech is a multinational corporation and prices are set by them on a regional basis. I don't understand why European customers have to pay 50% more. This has come up before (search the forum) and while I agree that that seems like an excessive premium, neither do I understand the vagaries of international corporate pricing. If you really want a serious answer, you should contact the Logitech corporation. They're the ones who can actually answer you if they choose to explain, not those of us in a community support forum.

For one specific room, which houses the media server, I also opted to put in Powerline networking. My personal experience has been quite poor with Netgear routers as well, with frequent dropped signals for a number of devices. I am presently using a Linksys WRT300N and have no dropout problems across multiple floors and back yard. The Netgear router you refer to, although MIMO, does not have external antennas.

[slim] Help: Wired Squeezebox Reciever SqueezeCenter
We just got a Squeezebox duet package our first SlimDevices product and are really enjoying using it with SqueezeNetwork and Rhapsody. We have run into a couple of issues related I presume to our LAN setup that I am hoping someone on this forum can help us with. 1) Setting up the receiver as wired / not WiFi I had wanted to connect the receiver with a wired ethernet connection, but during the controller setup the receiver automatically connected to my wireless network and I can not seem to force it to use a wired connection. Can anyone direct me how to fix this? 2) Controller can't find my home PC / squeezecenter While SqueezeNetwork has been working well, I have not been able to get SqueezeCenter to successfully connect to the squeezebox receiver, nor can I get the controller to find my home PC running squeezecenter. SqueezeCenter does show the receiver in its dropdown list, but when I select it and then select yes in response to This player is currently connected to squeezenetwork. Do you want it to switch back to SqueezeCenter? it drops the squeezenetwork connection but does not connect to squeezecenter. The squeezebox receiver does not show up in the squeezecenter settings menus at all. Similarly, the controller only shows squeezenetwork as a music source (my home PC running squeezecenter does not show up). Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue? Pertinent information: 1) I have disabled the PC's firewall to eliminate that as a possible cause 2) My LAN setup: Comcast cable modem connected to a Linksys WRT54G ver.6 (my wireless connection for both the reciever and controller) which is in turn has a wired connection to a Netgear RP614 4 port router. My PC is has a wired connection to the Netgear router. I would also like to create a wired connection between the Netgear router and my squeezebox receiver. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: [slim] Help: Wired Squeezebox Reciever SqueezeCenter
In order to setup the receiver as ethernet connected you need to plug in a working ethernet cable before the setup. If the SBR doesn't see the ethernet network it doesn't offer the option to connect that way. You may also need to factory default the SBR but I don't think so. On the connectivity I don't know the netgear router but I am going to assume it is an ethernet router rather than an ADSL router and that you have the upstream port connected to one of the linksys downstream ports. If that is the case then you have created two network segments probably on different IP networks. The server and the SB find themselves using a broadcast that is only transmitted within the same IP network. I suspect that if you ping the SB from the SC it may fail depending upon the capabilities of the linksys. One way in which it might be resolved is to turn off DHCP on the netgear router if you are using it. The make sure that the link to the Linksys is plugged into one of the downstream ports of the netgear. Essentially turning it into a switch rather than a router. -- Zaragon Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45154 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Just got a Transporter... on loan.
Hi, haunyack and cliveb. I'm using the RCA's, my pre doesn't have XLR. So I finally took the plunge and I am really satisfied with it :) Now that I've made the decision I am back to normal listening, i.e. not listening for bass resolution, transients, clarity and all that crap :) But seriously I quickly get tired of that, since it (for me) means not listening to the music, but rather to it's components. The good thing though is that the TP still sounds amazingly good to me. But I must admit I made a mistake during my TP auditioning sessions. I didn't consider repositioning my speakers. After having done that (mostly changing toe-in) all the forwardness and hardness I was speaking about earlier has turned in to a wide, but still detailed with good imaging, soundstage with warmer sound. The difference is huge in my setup. And I didn't change it that much. But perhaps it was a good thing I forgot it; how does one handle this issue in AB(X)'ing?

[slim] Perl module Load problems on Buffalo Linkstation
Hello All, I have successfully accessed my Buffalo Linkstation Live (HS-DHxxxGL) with v2.10 stock firmware (using ACP_Commander to enable telent)[from NAS-Central]. I did not install the addons that are discussed with the ACP_Commander distribution, I just enabled telnet. The HS-DHxGL has the ARM9 processor. I installed Slimserver based on the Linkstation install instructions attributed to Marc Field from ~2005 found through links in the Slim Wiki. I started with SlimServer_v6.5.4.tar.gz and also squeezecenter-7.0.tgz distributions. When running the slimserver startup, some modules were not found (Config_heavy.pm and autosplit.ix), so I copied them into the @INC path. Now, I get the following error when I start Slimserver: Quote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/slimserver# ./slimserver.pl --daemon --prefsfile /mnt/slimserver.prefs --cachedir /mnt/slimdata The following modules failed to load: Time::HiRes DBD::mysql DBI XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser Compress::Zlib Digest::SHA1 YAML::Syck To download and compile them, please run: /mnt/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl Time::HiRes DBD::mysql DBI XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser Compress::Zlib Digest::SHA1 YAML::Syck Exiting.. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/slimserver# Endquote I get esentially the same message with Slimserver_v6.5.4 or SqueezeCenter-7.0-17793. It appears that all of these modules (with the .pm extension) are in the slimserver distribution, but apparently they are not where they are expected to be in the file structure. If I run the module builder, it asks for a target folder, which I don't know what it's supposed to be. Can anyone point me in the proper direction to get these modules to load, with information as to where they need to be placed in the files structure starting from the folder containing slimserver.pl or from /? Or perhaps I'm completely off base and need more information? I'm a complete perl novice, and pretty much a linux lightweight, although not completely out of it at the command line.

All of this works great -- SC web interface is snappy, SBR responds quickly, etc. The Controller, however, is in bad shape, losing both wireless connectivity and its DHCP-assigned address all the time. For the short times when it is connecting, I note the following: - Pinging the controller from the wired Linux server is 100% successful, but the responses are slow and spiky (rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 39.646/173.173/327.011/94.522 ms). - Pinging the wired server from the controller (invoked through ssh) drops between 40% and 80% of packets. The successful pings tend to follow a pattern: slow response, fast response, slow, fast, slow, fast -- e.g., 800msec, 7msec, 850msec, 10msec. I think the difference in packet loss between S-C and C-S is a red herring; I don't know enough about how the ping tool works, but I'd guess it's a difference in the two different implementations of ping; perhaps the server's version is more tenacious, so it succeeds more often than the controller's version. I've tried with a different router of the same model, and just to be sure I flashed OpenWRT and a Sveasoft derivative. I cranked down all the wifi settings to their slowest settings (1-2Mbps, etc.) and saw no difference. Is it time to cry uncle and call my controller's hardware bad? I live in San Mateo and drive by Slimdevices' HQ every day; I'd be happy to try a known-good sample at my house, or vice-versa. -- fireupthegrill fireupthegrill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16176 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45168 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] FW 36 Thrapped My Transporter
Sounds like it might be worth factory defaulting it. Remove power and start it up with + pressed. Interesting on the right display. I had something similar happen to an SB3 display after about 3 weeks of running which seemed to be related to heat as it went away when the SB3 had been powered down for a while but soon came back when powered on. Yours may of course be nothing to do with it. -- Zaragon Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45167 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

And businesses that try to extract a higher profit margin than everyone else tend not to do so well either!

Re: [slim] Duet Controller drops packets
I borrowed a different wifi access point, a D-Link DWL-G730AP, and results aren't much better. The receiver connects fine (wirelessly), but the controller appears to be sending out DHCP discover requests repeatedly, ignoring the responses from the AP's server, and eventually the controller self-assigns a 169.x.x.x address. It occasionally acquires a real IP address, but the controller doesn't respond to pings or ssh connection requests, and it has lots of trouble seeing the SB receiver. Slim Folks, given that I've changed pretty much everything except the controller, do you think it's a problem on my end? I'm starting to think this particular controller is a bad apple. -- fireupthegrill fireupthegrill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16176 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45168 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Heronimos;282308 Wrote: In the old version if you did a quick search the server alsof found artists and albums with the search word in its name of title. SC7 only finds tracks and no albums of artists. Is this by design. Or did I make a wrong setting somewhere? No, the basic search should still find artists, albums and tracks. I think it now also searches genres in SC7. In the Settings, under Music Library, you may have had the option Search Within Words set to Search Within Words on the old server. Perhaps the setting didn't migrate properly (I believe Search Beginning of Words is the default setting). -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45132 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Help ... Internal Rhapsody Error
I am now getting the message Internal Rhapsody Error . unable to authenticate user on my SB. I can't play anything off Rhapsody through squeezecenter. Any idea how to fix this? I can play Rhapsody content directly using Rhapsody on another computer. I recently installed the Rhapsody application on the same machine that is running squeezecenter. I never thought this would affect anything but perhaps it has. I have since uninstalled Rhapsody on my squeezecenter computer but that did not help at all. I can play Pandora content via squeezecenter just fine, suggesting my squeezenetwork credentials are still valid. This is exasperating. Any ideas?
