[slim] Automatic switching between two SCs on the same network (SB3)?
Hello, I run my standard SqueezeCenter on a ReadyNAS DUO since a year, primarily because not having to keep any PCs powered on in the house. It's been working well enough, the slight speed issues with populating the SB3 interface with long lists (e.g. 'Artist') have been compensated by the overall ease of setup. I have just upgraded the main home PC, however, and came to think about that there might be interesting possibilities for the quad processor power. I'd therefore like to set up a parallel SC on the PC that would be used whenever the PC happens to be on. Obviously both SCs need to be the same version, otherwise the SB3 may upgrade/downgrade its firmware when switching between the SCs. Given this, I'm wondering if there's any way to automate the SB3's switching between the servers? Ideally I'd like the SB3 to use the PC's SC whenever it's available on the network, but fall back to the ReadyNAS DUO's when it's not. Will that be manual switching each time, or could the SB3 be set up to handle the switch?

[slim] How to get back to Artist instead of Music Library on SB3 user interface
Hi, I often listen to several albums in a row by one artist. Currently my SC and SB3 takes me to the root menu of Music Library when I navigate out (left arrow on the remote) from the current album after a while (if done quite soon after going into the album I do get back to Artist, but not after a while). Given that the Artist list takes quite some time to populate, this gets tedious. Is there any way to change this (apparent) default behaviour, so that left arrow would always navigate one step back/up from where one currently is?

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Hi, The ipeng app is definitely worth its money. But I realised today that the cover art thumbnails on album level (browsing artists - albums) are not correct. If I go directly to ipeng themed squeezecenter via safari then the right album cover is displayed. So at least SqueezeCenter has the right thumbs for the albums cached. Could it be that ipeng app has its own cache? I rebuilt my complete squeezecenter database yesterday and maybe now some ipeng cached thumbs are pulled by different albums.

Re: [slim] Is the latest 7.4 beta close enough?
Worked very well for me on ubuntu 8.10 (use the instable repository and apt-get squeezeboxserver instead of squeezecenter). I had to migrate all plugins and prefs manually, I don't know if the release version will do that automatically. Fact is, there are now 2 different directories on my machine, and I can fire 7.4 or 7.3. I did not create a mysqueezebox.com account, I suppose the accounts will be migrated by Logi, and creating a duplicate may cause unnecessary trouble. I don't really care for My Apps anyway, so I'll wait on Monday. The web interface seems a lot faster.

Re: [slim] Automatic switching between two SCs on the same network (SB3)?
With the CLI (ie a simple script using telnet or netcat) you can do what the web interface does; Have a look at the technical information under the Help link in SC's interface. The CLI command is called connect. There is a disconnect command as well, but its use case eludes me. If you want to use power management on the big computer, you should consider using the srvPowerControl plugin. It does automated SC - SN switching, for example. (Right now it looks like you'd need to tweak the plugin to have it do SC - SC, though.) -- epoch1970 epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68356 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Is the latest 7.4 beta close enough?
I am not at all sure I like what it has done to my controllers. The controller interface is now quite ugly and ungainly and they don't work in the same way. The web interface is quicker though. I think 7.4 is aimed mostly at at the new touch screen devices and increasing code conformity across the product range. My guess is it has also been rushed out to support the release of SqueezeRadio. The controllers seem to have been forgotten about. The clocks are ugly, the backgrounds dull, the action of the play and center buttons is confusing and the controllers small screen cluttered with useless icons. The My Apps and App Gallery take up too much home menu (and seems like a daft idea anyway, possibly proposed by someone from marketing who would have preferred to work for Apple), and the alarm does not accept playlists that use the BBC iPlayer streams. Personally I'd not upgrade to 7.4 unless you really needed to, were buying a Squeeze Radio or really like pain. I certainly wouldn't have done if I'd known what it was going to do to my controllers. If it has been rushed out for the Radio then it is to be hoped that Logitec will now concentrate on getting 7.4 to work nicely on the other devices. Maybe the software will be OK by 7.4.2.

Thanks. I do not think Logitech's update will be a step backward. But, I have seen other completely different programs update only to find that most people found the update to have many features that were inferior to the previos version.

Re: [slim] Automatic switching between two SCs on the same network (SB3)?
On 7.3.3 and using the web interface, if a SB is connected to a second server, I can attempt to use the SB from the first server. I get a dialog box that asks if I want to connect that SB to the first server. So long as the second server is active, the switch over works but if second is turned-off, the switch over doesn't happen.. Apparently first needs cooperation from second to make the change happen.

Re: [slim] HowTo: Prevent server from suspend/hibernate while Squeezecenter playing?
You might want to look at Windows: Prevent Standby plugin. The reason it is for windows is that it uses the Win32::API with the kernel32 command. If you change this command in the Plugin.pm file in the C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server\Slim\Plugin\PreventStandby directory (this will be in the ../SqueezeCenter/server/Slim/Plugin/PreventStandby directory on Ubuntu). With the SqueezeCenter directory being where programs are normally stored in Ubuntu. If you cange the Win32::API command to a linux command to switch off power management you should be OK. Probably the best thing to do is to copy the PreventStandby directory to something like PreventStandbyLinux and make the change to the Plugin.pm file. Note that there is an install.xml file with xml detailing the plugin name etc. One of the first lines in this file is an id tag that looks like this:- idBFACABFD-6334-4743-95BA-43A60E159560/id How this is generated I don't know. Would a coppied plugin break if this line ws coppied? If one got rid of it would the plugin still work? How was it generated in the first place? The plugin was wirtten by Julian Neil. He might be able to give pointers on these matters. If you did copy the plugin it would be polite to add a revision in the header of the Plugin.pm file stating that the plugin ws adapted for Ubuntu. Note that the last line of the install.xml file has:- targetPlatformWindows/targetPlatform Note this is the second to last line as the last line has the /extension tag on it! You will need to remove Windows from the targetPlatform tag and replace with Linux.

[slim] Question about ports
My router (Netgear WNR3500) has a 'Quality of Service' setting on it that allows one to set the priority of certain ports to give them more or less bandwidth.

It would help to know if your problem is on the downstream or the upstream side. You probably already know this but streaming radio requires not only a fixed (usually 128K - small for a broadband link) amount of download bandwidth, but also a reliable upstream in order for packet acknowledgements to get back to the source. If you are triggering packet-shaping on your ISP's side, they may be punishing all your sessions in a ham-fisted way as you approach your limit. Also, what protocol are you using to sync? If it is opening multiple TCP connections then that is unfair to other sessions sharing the same pipe, so you may want to see if there's an option to limit the number of connections it uses. That would be getting more to the root of the problem, and if it works would be better than throttling. Normally TCP behaves well in situations like this. For example if you have a 1Mbps link then you should be able to have six or seven other bulk downloads going simultaneously before your radio is affected. However if you have extremely limited upload bandwidth then that could be a harder problem to deal with. How do I find out what port Pandora is coming in on? If I'm streaming a radio station and the port isn't specified, does that mean it's coming in on port 80? I think so. The only problem there is differentiating pandora traffic from other HTTP bulk traffic which would be low priority.
