Re: [slim] Some setup help please
Ok I got myself an old pc. Installed voretexbox on it and it all seems to work. I am able to connect to the voretexbox via network under windows. And I can get to the menu of the box by typing the ip adres under firefox. So far so good. The only problem I have is that I don't get to copy my music files from my nas to the voretex box. Windows give me the error that I don't have the rights to make the action. Is there a way to login with putty and give the copy command in linux. I think I have to login as root, but with windows explorer I don't know how to do that. I tried googling for a solution but it's really hard finding the right information. Though I noticed squeezeserver interface is running much faster under voretexbox ;-). Now it's waiting for the music :-) -- Koensk Koensk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43811 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85439 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
*Playback Comes to iPeng* Here#8217;s the first new release in 2011 and it brings you a long-awaited functionality for iPeng: Playback. *How Does it Work?* iPeng Playback will make your iOS device show up on a Squeezebox Server like any other Squeezebox Player and you control it just like that, too. *What Does it Support* iPeng Playback supports Squeezebox Server versions 7.3 and newer (previous versions back to 7.0 might work but are untested). It plays the following file formats natively (that means: on the device itself): #8226; MP3 #8226; AAC #8226; FLAC*) #8226; ALAC*) WMA is supported but currently untested. Other formats can be used if your server supports transcoding and can encode them to FLAC. This depends on the available processing power and the file format involved. **) Cellular Network Operation* When you use iPeng playback outside a WiFi network, over the cellular network, the #8220;lossless#8221; formats FLAC and ALAC will not be available to limit the bandwidth requirements. In this case, your server will have to support transcoding to MP3, which generally requires more processing power than FLAC encoding and you will have to have the necessary encoding software installed. *What are the Limitations?* iPeng Playback does NOT work directly with MySqueezebox.com. MySqueezebox.com is a service offered and run by Logitech in support of their own hardware and Logitech had to get approval from all of their content partners supported by it to use their services. This does not cover use on iOS so it#8217;s not possible for us right now to use that service. Also, I don#8217;t believe this will be a big limitation since most of the services available through MySqueezebox.com can already be used through existing radio Apps for iOS or by the respective iOS Apps that these services provide themselves. I believe the biggest value of this feature lies in the capability to use your own library on the iOS device without having to sync it to the device. *Do I Have to Pay for Playback?* If you own only one iPeng version: yes. Providing this capability along with continuing development of iPeng#8217;s users interfaces and other functionalities (there#8217;s a lot more exciting stuff coming up in 2011!) simply is too much work to be ever done for free. In this particular case I used an implementation by James Fearon, who#8217;s done all of the audio stuff and of course he wants to be rewarded for his hard work, too. Especially given that this will actually compete with his own App. I definitely can#8217;t afford to pay him for all the users who have already purchased iPeng in the past, so this feature is only available as an #8220;In App Purchase#8221;. *Get Playback for Free if You Own iPeng for iPhone and for iPad* There#8217;s one exception: Those users who bought both the iPhone and the iPad version of iPeng can get the playback feature for free. I regard this as a little #8220;kickback#8221; to true customers. As I#8217;ve written before, I would have loved to be able to give discounts to those who purchase both Apps but due to the structure of the App Store I can#8217;t do that and I also could not afford to make the iPad version a completely free update. So this is how I want to give you a little delayed discount. How do you get it? 1. Install both Apps (iPeng for iPhone and iPeng for iPad) on your iPad. If you have not used iPeng for iPhone on your iPad: As long as you are using the same iTunes account as for your original purchase on iPhone or iPod, downloading it again on the iPad will be free; you can generally use App Store purchases on several devices. This is also true for In App Purchases (for the same App). 2. Start one of the Apps and go to #8220;Settings-Enable Playback-You own both iPeng for iPad and iPeng for iPhone? Get Playback for free!#8221;. 3. Press #8220;Create Code#8221;. This will create a voucher code that is valid in the OTHER App. Note: this code will only be valid for a limited time but you can create a new one at any time. 4. When the code shows up in the entry field at the top of the page, #8220;hold#8221; the code text for a second and release to get the popup menu, then select #8220;Select#8221; and #8220;Copy#8221; to copy the code to the clipboard. 5. Leave the App and start the OTHER iPeng App on the iPad. Go to the same menu and do the #8220;hold#8221; in the empty text field, then select #8220;Paste#8221; from the popup menu. 6. Now press #8220;Validate Code#8221; and the playback feature will be enabled. Enabling the feature in one App will enable it for both Apps on that device. 7. Back Up your App Data with iTunes. We don#8217;t guarantee that this offer will be available in future versions of iPeng but once enabled, Playback will stay activated. 8. If you want to use the feature on other iOS devices, too, you need to first backup your App data on the iPad by synchronizing it with iTunes. Then you have to

Hi Pippin This is fantastic - it's a feature I've been looking forward to for a long time.

Re: [slim] Where are your CDs?
ralphpnj;609048 Wrote: Actually in the early days of CDs I took a completely different approach. I went out and bought myself a very nice turntable (a used Linn LP12) and while all my friends were busy replacing their vinyl collections with little silver discs I only bought CDs of new material. Me too! In the mid 1990's the record shops were selling off the last of their LP stock. I remember picking up 10 LPs from HMV, all ones I actually wanted, for £1.50 each. The same thing seems to be happening now with CDs. I just picked up three U2 CDs (October, Pop and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb) from a clearance sale at HMV in Oxford Street at £3 each. Their CD stock is thinning out alarmingly - I have had difficulty buying a lot of back-catalogue items recently and taken to e-bay to find those older recordings. The LPs sounded great then and still sound great today.You should try recording some of them onto digital files. You get the best of both worlds then. I have recorded 300 LPs to FLAC so far, about half of my collection, many of which are not available either on CD or digital. The funny thing is with the advent of streaming music and digital downloads the days of the CD are clearly numbered and yet there is no replacement for good old vinyl. In other words, long after CDs are replaced by digital files vinyl will live on. I am not sure what you are getting at here. CD replaced LP, yet there are still many of us stalwarts out here enjoying our LP collections. I am sure that when CD finally gets replaced by digital files there will be plenty of old fogies out there enjoying their CD collection in the same way as I enjoy my LP collection. LPs were the recording medium of *my* youth so I have a nostalgia for slipping the LP from its sleeve and dropping the needle in the groove - hearing that crackly lead in give way to music. I am sure many of those brought up with CD will get the same kick from flipping the disk out of its jewel case and watching the disk tray slide home. By the same token ebooks may well replace the novel but may never replace those large format glossy photo books aka coffee table books. You are right, but I think books generally are more of a technological challenge than LPs and CDs. CDs only have music on them (in most cases) so you can fit *any* music into a digital file. However books come in all shapes and sizes and often contain a complex mixture of text, photos and graphics. I think the novel translates neatly to the Kindle, but a travel guide? Or a medical text book? Graphic novel? Pop-up children's book? Try putting Where's Wally on a Kindle! One day we may get fold-out reading devices up to A3 size with full colour reflective screens with a true white background that can do 600dpi photos or line art with no backlight and with a 2 week battery life (don't hold your breath!). But until then there is little threat to a large proportion of books. -- TheLastMan Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology DS107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.3 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, BW CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, BW 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.

SHIT!!! Looks like the FLAC library is not compiled for arm7, this is what's causing the crash on all iPod touch 1G, 2G, iPhone 1 and 3G devices. I'll try to fasttrack an update with Apple. This is kind of a messy thing: You can't test the App Store builds because they require an Apple signature to run and in all my other build settings this was OK.

Re: [slim] Some setup help please
You have to be a bit careful. You may be trying to copy the files to the wrong directory. It can be confusing with the vortexbox. The folder you add music to is \\vortexbox\files\music\flac Notice this is DIFFERENT than the directory you point SbS to for reading the files (this is \\vortexbox\music\flac). Notice the files subdirectory in the first case that is not in the second. Also note that if you have mp3 or AAC files (with no flac counterpart), you'll still want these to be in the FLAC subdirectory. What I do is have the following directory structure on my vortexbox files/music/flac flac files files/music/flac/mp3_AAC_only this subdirectory holds all my nonflac files where I have no Flac counterpart note that: files/music/mp3 subdirectories are your MIRROR of flac files from files/music/flac directory.

Re: [slim] No more free last.fm on the SB!
I'm torn on this ... I love last.fm as a means to scrobble stuff and see what I'm listening to (I know that no-one else cares but it keeps me amused) ... yes this will continue to be free, for now. I also love using last.fm as a music discovery tool and have lost count of how much I have spent on CD's and downloads of artists I discovered via Last.fm that I would never have heard of otherwise. But I only ever investigated new music via last.fm sporadically and at times when nothing else seemed appropriate to listed to at the time ... this would have been a few times a month but those session could have made me explore 6 or 8 artists and buy the same or more CD's / downloads. Am I willing to pay £3 a month for the ability to be able to go and search out new music? Possible, I subscribe to Q and NME in print to effectively do the same I guess ... am I likely to? probably not ... I might explore Napster instead as I can at least then listen to the stuff Q NME tell me is worth listening to. But I have to say that my life would be worse off without Mono, Explosions in the Sky, Kevin Devine, Manchester Orchestra, The Radio Dept, Air Formation, Malory etc whom I would never have experienced without Last.fm I think the record companies should be funding last.fm to encourage people like me to find new sources of listening and therefore create new sources of revenue ... now that's a business model !!! -- mjm2705 = Last.fm: http://www.last.fm/user/mjm2705 = mjm2705's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34755 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85478 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hey Pippin - I saw this update pop up on my iPod Touch this morning and couldn't resist grabbing the update right then and there. When I saw that playback was a separate purchase, of course I had to do that right then and there too :-). I just played about 1 minute of FLAC on it and it seemed to work great! I'll verify this for myself later, but is the player gapless (I hope so)? If so, is it gapless for all formats? I'm especially interested in FLAC and LAME encoded mp3. Thanks for a great update!

[slim] Harry Potter on Squeezebox
By popular demand, I ripped some audio books for my children the other day. Some have an incredible number of tracks - total book 500 tracks. I worked out that initially the books would not play to the end because there's a limit on the playlist. I forget what it was - seemed reasonable. Anyway, increasing this solved the problem. However, even having this many files in the file tree turns out to be a PITA. Tried to manages the tags and my tag editor took a DEEP BREATH ... and paused for a bit. So instead, I decided to rip by chapter, not track. That's nice - only 40 odd files. Trouble is that my young ones are complaining because the SB track navigation is a bit hit'n'miss. Now, I read somewhere that someone's invented a new file format / tagging system that allows one to mark points within a track? And then navigate to those soft points? Does that ring a bell with anyone? Is that something the SB will support? And if so, how do I go about it?

[slim] Seeking High Bitrate Music Streaming Service
Hello All, I have a Squeezbox Duet and have been exploring different Internet Radio and Music Streaming Services (Last.fm, Slacker, Pandora) for many months. I cannot find a service that has Squeezbox support and streams at 256Kb or higher. Heck, I'd even consider 192Kb. In fact, very few services stream greater than 128Kb regardless of Squeezebox support. MOG looks interesting because they stream at 320Kb and they have over 10 million tracks in their catalog for $5 per month. But, MOG doesn't support Squeezebox. Does anyone know a service comparable to MOG and can be played via Squeezebox? I'd be happy to pay a monthly fee to get the high bitrate. Or, does anyone know how to get MOG to play through Squeezebox (without official App support)? For me, music control via the Squeezebox remote control is essential.

[slim] Frozen SB 2 issue
Hi, I have a SqueezeBox 2 which is completely frozen. The issue appears to relate to using LazySearch, it's been showing for a while as: Search with LazySearch Play a track Hit the left button Screen shows 'The Current playlist' Box is now frozen and ignores every button on the remote for about 60 seconds. The only way out is to wait until the 60 seconds is up and the screen returns to the now playing screen, at which point I can switch off and on again. However, today played a track without repeat, after the track had finished I pressed the left arrow and the unit went into the frozen state described above, but will not return to the now playing screen: it is stuck as frozen. I have tried rebooting (remove power and re-apply) but after booting it just goes back to the current playlist frozen screen again.

Re: [slim] Harry Potter on Squeezebox
@AndyG: Well, there are any number of challenges with that implementaion: (1) The over-loading of the track skip buttons (on the remote) with the track pointer feature is unpleasant to work (if your (little) finger jitters a bit, then you did not quite hold it down long enough for the SB to understand that you want to place the track pointer, and it will instead assume you wanted to skip). I think it used to be even worse (when it would revert to skip as soon as you let go of the button) - it seems better now (where it hangs around a bit in track pointer mode). Still, feels clumsy (not that I'd have any great suggestions for improvements, sorry). (2) I still have no idea how to place a track pointer from the web control panel, which might be easier to place. (3) My kids simply forget which minute they had listened up to. Coming back and trying to iterate towards a spot is just painful. @Chill: Unfortunately, I do not recall where I read what little I recollect.

Then you can select large numbers all at once, and assign a custom field within your tags based on the bitrate (or use some otherwise unused tag, e.g., contentgroup).

[slim] Problem with radio station(s)
Hi all, new member here and first post. I do like the concept of the squeeze system but it's darn near a part time job trying to figure it all out. Overall I'm satisfied. I have a Radio and a Boom for 2 months now and having some difficulty streaming some radio stations. I am using sbs 7.5.3 r31792 on a windows 7 setup. Wireless with 80%-100% signal.Server wired. First station is KLEJ. Up untill about a month ago I could stream this no problem. Now it won't play. I contacted Liquid Compass 3 weeks ago with no response yet. KLEJ was also kind enough to contact them with no response either. Hmm. Can anyone else get this to work and if so how? Another station Foggy Mountain (internet only?) sometimes plays, sometimes not. Seems like a crap shoot a some stations. Maybe play today maybe not. Some stations NEVER play so why are they even in the menu? Kind of frustrating as I like internet radio.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Playback comes to iPeng
Pippin, this is a wonderful update. I got playback for free on the iPad, tried it and found the effect magic enough to warrant paying the 4 in-app purchase on my iPhone: - my iPhone goes to work, and my lazy iPad stays at home all day. I feared the cross-backup procedure would have nixed my contacts and stuff. - anyways I don't mind paying 2 per device given the service, and the feature seems more valuable -to me- on iPhone since my pants have regular size pockets. IMHO you could put your users out of misery by just saying that playback is free on iPad when you have both iPhone and iPad apps. Kudos to you and the author of Squeezy. Flac plays fine indeed. I immediately tried to sync the iPad and iPhone, and moving around the appartment I soon got the devices to lose sync. (My iPad uses a wifi N network and the iPhone connects to a wifi-G channel.)

Getting syncing to work would be great - you set the bar high! :-). Tonight I tried turning off the playback feature in iPeng, closed down iPeng and restarted it. Then I fired up squeezecast. iPeng seemed to get very confused. When squeezecast is in the forefront, everything is OK. When I switch to iPeng, the music fades out and stops. When I try to restart it in iPeng, sometimes it would start and abruptly stop. Eventually it started working, but the music does stop when I leave iPeng, go to squeezecast, and come back to iPeng. Hitting play starts the music again. Is there some confusion between the two since they each have the same MAC/IP Address yet are different players? I noticed that iPeng automatically picked up the name of the squeezecast player - from squeezecenter's prespective I guess both players are one in the same due to each having the same MAC/IP address.

Re: [slim] RFE: Add option for saving sleep time and randomize playlist with favorites
I'm *soo* close to being able to offer you that. A while back I worked on a plugin that adds two new protocols for Squeezebox. One is for executing CLI commands like sleep 900 (900 = 15 minutes). Another is for executing commands on the machine running Squeezebox Server. The idea is that these become tracks that you can add to playlists. So you could have a playlist like squeezecli: p0=sleepp1=5400 http: //somestreamingstation.com/foo.mp3 that would start the sleep timer before opening the lullaby stream. The randomized favorite might be trickier. You might need two playlists, with the randomized playlist looking like the following (spaces added after the colon to appease the forum software) squeezecli: p0=playlistp1=shufflep2=2 squeezecli: p0=playlistp1=clear squeezecli: p0=playlistp1=addp2=/path/to/playlist squeezecli: p0=playlistp1=shufflep2=0 squeezecli: p0=playlistp1=play to force a new reshuffling of your playlist and revert to non-shuffled behavior right afterwards. But there's something a little messed up in my code I haven't had time to track down; the effect is that the squeezecli command executes but SBS never moves to the next track. My hope was to fix that and then make a nice web UI to simplify adding squeezecli: tracks to playlists.

Re: [slim] creating smart playlist
garym;609469 Wrote:
How about using mp3tag. first create a custom column to display the
bitrate info. For example, use this as the value in a custom column:
%_bitrate% kb/s $left(%_vbr%,1)
then sort your files by that column. Then you can select large numbers
all at once, and assign a custom field within your tags based on the
bitrate (or use some otherwise unused tag, e.g., contentgroup).
Then you can use this tag within one of erlands playlist plugins.
No reason to tag, the bitrate should already be in the database since
it's part of the standard tags in more or less every music file, it's
even scanned by standard SBS scanner.
The procedure to do this with SQL Playlist plugin is:
1. Create a new playlist and select the Customize SQL button at the
bottom
2. Click Save and enter a suitable name and paste the following text in
the SQL Query field:
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Random for bitrate
-- PlaylistGroups:
-- PlaylistParameter1:custom:Select bitrate:select case when lossless=1 then
999 else floor((bitrate+16000)/32000)*32000 end as calculatedbitrate,case
when lossless=1 then 'Lossless' else concat(floor((bitrate+16000)/32000)*32,'
kbps') end from tracks where audio=1 group by calculatedbitrate order by
calculatedbitrate desc
select url from tracks
where
audio=1 and
(

)
or
(
tracks.bitrate='PlaylistParameter1'-16000 and
tracks.bitrate'PlaylistParameter1'+16000

This query gives you a choice of bitrates in 32kbps intervals based on
