Re: [slim] Controller won't wake up ?

2008-04-19 Thread casonbang

Updated my SC and the remote to 7.0.1 r2287.

I didn't notice any slowdowns or other problems, but Slacker seemed to
be stopping after one song until I updated the library.  And it could
be my imagination, but the remote did seem to be warmer to the touch.

Anyway, it still locked up the same as before.  No music playing,
everything on pause. :(

Sorry, by turns back on I meant reboots.

Oddly though, it hasn't done it the last 2 days.

It locked up again today.  I think I've been running torrents and
peerguardian on the server computer when this happens and I find myself
wondering if it could be related...

Re: [slim] Sychronization with SqueezeCenter 7.0?

2008-04-15 Thread casonbang

Have you tried doing a clear library and rescan?

When I first installed SqueezeCenter 7 I was also having problems with
sync sounding choppy and being off 10 secons or more, even for radio
stations.  At first I thought it was a softsqueeze problem, but it
happened even when syncing only hardware devices.

Somewhere along the way of playing with things it started working and I
remember one of the things I noticed was that my library was missing
quite a few songs. A scan for new wasn't picking them up so I did a
full rescan.

I wasn't able to duplicate the problem so I'm not sure if that was
actually what fixed it.

Re: [slim] Controller scratch

2008-04-15 Thread casonbang

Thanks for this tip!

I've had my Duet for a week or two and hadn't noticed it yet, but sure
enough scratch marks were developing on the back.

I cut a 1/2 inch strip of black sticky-back felt wide enough for the
back and stuck it on the inside of the stand with just a tiny bit
covering the top edge.

Looks fine and as a bonus the remote slides in a little smoother and
has a more solid feeling in the stand.

Re: [slim] Controller won't wake up ?

2008-04-13 Thread casonbang

I've been having the same issue.  I will set the remote down and when I
pick it up several hours later the buttons are lit, but the screen
never comes on.  Holding the home button down usually will turn the
remote off for me, then I can turn it back on.

It doesn't seem to happen more than once a day and it seems to be at
night that it locks up like this.  I'm running the 7.01 beta on XP.

Re: [slim] Does SC need a separate, simplified, stylised user interface?

Question: Does SC need a separate, simplified, stylised UI?

- Yes, and making it 3D would give it a real competitive edge
- Yes, but it doesn't have to be that flashy. 2D would be fine.
- No, the existing interfaces are enough
- It might be nice but I would never use it


My Duet just doesn't  seem to show that well to non-geeks.  I still
haven't figured out why.  They just say oh, it looks like an iPod,
that's cool and hand it back.  Why don't they get it?

I would like some sort of simple interface for guests that works as you
say... nondestructive and instantly intuitive.  I don't even know if it
would have to be an entirely different interface. Might be just as
effective with a more simplified menu just for choosing music and
adding it... that's all guests get to do!

As for the flash... I find the web interface completely abysmal.  I
think that a dedicated program would be 10 times better than all of the
web versions out there.  The default skin is way too limited... it
doesn't even support drag n drop.  The only way I see the situation
improving is with flash-based skins.  Where are they?

Yup, I was thinking dragging left to right to build playlists.  All too
often I go to click the tiny add to playlist button and miss by a
pixel or two... and then my whole playlist is wiped out. :-(

SlimFX looks very cool. I've been afraid to try it because it's been so
long since it was updated.  But maybe I'll give it a go...

SlimRemote has been my favorite in the past, but it hasn't been updated
for SC7 either... No favorites and it doesn't support Slacker cover art.

[slim] Loose Scrollwheel on SBC/Duet

2008-04-09 Thread casonbang

The scrollwheel on my SBC seems very loose.  It doesn't have any
friction at all and it makes it difficult to control

I read in the developer forums that this was a problem with some early
builds.  Do all of the SBC's ship with such a loose wheel or is mine
defective?

Re: [slim] How to get Artwork?

2008-04-08 Thread casonbang

After my first scan, SC7 was only displaying a few of my embedded
artworks. Rescan didn't fix it.

Reading this thread prompted me to do a clear/full scan and that
worked!

Also, it appears that new embedded artwork IS found with scan for new
and changed.
