Okay, I know you guys are going to be EXTREMELY tempted to answer my question with a completely unrelated question; so, I ask kindly to please dont bother :)
Anyway, I have finally made a big discovery in an issue I've had for several month. I always wanted to know why I started getting errors related me being logged into another device (which I clearly wasnt) on different squeezenetwork dependent services (ie pandora, slacker, sirius, etc). Starting from SqueezeServer 7.3.0 and up; or more precisely, the last possible version that didnt have this issue was SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 Interestingly, In SqueezeCenter 7.2.1, I could keep all my music services (even the ones that come from squeezenetwork.com) to MP3 Streaming Method=Direct Streaming. However, whatever happened to the code between 7.2.1 and 7.3., caused multiple issues (possibly related). Issue #1: I have to set MP3 Streaming Method=Proxied Streaming, if I want Pandora to work; which of course, this setting wont just affact Pandora. Issue #2: This is the worst symptom of all and deal breaker for me to use any new versions of the server.. I get the dreaded "You're logged into another device, You are not authorized, You are loggged into another location. etc... depending on the service. Ironically, it doesnt happen to Pandora. It an vary anywhere from 3 minutes of playback to 25 minutes tops. Issue #3: The quality sounds almost like it's having a had time decoding the audio with micro-dropouts... just enough to be annoying. Again, I dont hear this degradation in Pandora as far as I can tell. Usually, progressively getting worse I reverted to a clean copy of the latest 7.2.1 build; and everything works great.. song take a fraction of a second (almost instantly) to start as opposed to 2-5 seconds to start (using proxied mode/>ver 7.2.1). 7.2.1 actualy looks like a smaller package, less executables, and probably all around tighter in the overall code (but that's just my perception). <b>Okay.... here's he question: What steps am I missing if I want to use/install the Napster plugin provided in version 7.3.x? It was very easy to just copy the folder and its contents to the respective place and change the min version to 7.2.1 in the XML file. It even gets loaded into memory in the list of plugins in the web interface. However, there's one little thing Im missing. I cant see it it the listd in the list of my music services; nor will my napster://radio: radio stations work either. I figured it would take much less time for someone like Andy to just quick ly say what file needs to be added/modified for napster to work under 7.2.1 than having to have developers respond back and forth no bugzilla going back to the drawing board several revisions, etc. It woult just be easier adding an unsupported Napster plugin; especiallly since I have it already regisered under mysqueezebox.com. I know theres only a small part left... and since I'm the only one who seems to have noticed this issue, it would be easier to get a fix for this that than potentially redoing a significant portion of the server just for a few people who noticeed the problem. -- mkanet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75248 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
