[slim] Stutter with SB2 and ss6.0 -- Broadcast?
I have a Linksys 10/100 5-port network switch to which I have connected my server, my Squeezebox2, and two Win98 PCs. PC #2 has an SMC EtherEZ ISA 10Mbps ethernet card. When it is turned on, then after about 5-10 minutes, the audio coming out of the SB2 stutters, and continues to do so until the network cable to that PC is unplugged. The cable can be plugged back in, and it's another 5-10 minutes before the stuttering comes back. I am not sure why there would be any interaction between that PC and the operation of the SB2 (which only needs 0.7% of my 100Mbps network bandwidth, or 7% of the bandwidth between the switch and PC #2). This happens when nothing else is going on over the network, and when PC #2 is completely idle. I have noticed that all the activity LEDs on the switch blink synchronously when the SB2 is running, which indicates to me that the stream from the server is a broadcast, not point to point. I had an original SB for a while, running slimserver 5.6, and I'm pretty sure that it ran point to point, not showing activity on any of the other devices on the network. I don't know if that is related, although if slimerver 6.0 to the SB2 ran point to point it's unlikely that PC #2 would interact with it. -- John Stimson ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SlimScrobbler CVS works!
nice point kdf (as always). My initial success at using the new slimscrobbler will sour when the audioscrobbler server gets slow, which in my experience is about every other day. Don't get me wrong, I love having my track history uploaded to audioscrobbler, but a squeezebox with dropouts makes me a sad panda. In summary, "optimized non-blocking code" = GOOD.

I've used Softsqueeze for a while as my desktop client, so I can listen while I work, and have had pretty good luck. After upgrading to 6.0.1 however, SS seems to causing performance problems on my machine. If the machine is idle, excepting playing w/ SS, SS keeps my CPU at 100%. It also has a 57MB memory footprint. Running another large application (like Eclipse) causes the machine to bog badly. SS's memory footprint also increases gradually as it runs, indicating that there may be a minor memory leak somewhere.(Weak References are your friend...)

It seems that internally the server matches things by their sort order, which is case insensitive and ignores special punctuation and the specified "ignore" articles. I suspect what you're seeing may a result of that. One other bug I've seen as a side effect of this is where an inconsistent tsop tag (sort order for artist) leads to duplicate artist entries with the exact same displayed name. I'm not sure exactly why it's done this way internally. Slimserver does a lot of guessing to match individual songs to their respective albums, which can be tricky when you get into various artist albums and albums named things like "Greatest Hits", or in this case "Live". Maybe this way of matching somehow made that easier, especially if people have inconsistent tags? I'm just guessing here. Perhaps slimserver needs a "competency" setting that means, "my tags and my directory structure are consistent. Things in this dir belong to the same album, and things elsewhere in my collection belong to something else, and trust the displayed name of artist/album/track for matching."

You need to setup and use QoS to prioritize your VoIP packets above everything else on both your WAN and LAN connections if you want your VoIP to always have top priority on the network and the broadband connection. VoIP is extremely susceptible to contention which can cause latency and packet loss. If you use a VoIP coder in the same PC as the Slim Server then that process also needs to be given higher priority than the Slim process. -- jmpage2 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You would need to manually set this to 1 in your prefs file and use d_cli to get debugging output (according to the comments code). However, looking through the rest of the code, simply changing the scrobbler-debug pref should do it with or without d_cli or any other debug flags. There are a few prefs without a UI, but I assume those will come along before release. -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The Rio's were cursed with a somewhat unreliable HDD unit from Hitachi, which has caused some failures. Rio are pretty good at replacing them even out of warranty though. The software lockups are just that - firmware crashes. My Karma has crashed (as I said) maybe 3 or 4 times in well over a year of use (and in all cases a quick reset fixed it).

From what you have said your fix will only work if there are separate image files. However the images I'm displaying come from the tag info on the actual Apple Lossless music files. Is there a fix for this. What happens, if you still put a small cover.jpg into the album's folder? But editing the html template is fairly simple. And if you backup the file before changing it you don't risk a lot ;-) -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the StringEditor Plugin (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have done a search of the FAQ and this forum but can't find an answer to this question. When browsing by album using the handheld skin on a PDA, when selecting an album, the cover art, when present, is displayed at whatever size it happens to be, so it can be the size of a postahe stamp or you can only see the top left hand corner. Is there any setting that can set the cover art to always display at 100x100 or 175x175. There's no user configurable setting, except if you know a little bit html: edit HTML/Handheld/browsedb.html. You'll find the following lines: [% IF coverArt %] [% END %] Change this to something like this: This will fix the size to 175 pixel (even if the ratio of the original file is different). The Handheld skin is using the thumb.jpg, if available. I've therefore started to have two artwork files per album: thumb.* (about 120x120) and cover.*. There's a script around which will automatically download them from amazon (http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html).

Those were flac files uning vorbis comments, but I found the culprit anyway. Not sure why it does what it does, though. Relatively early in the scanning progress slimserver finds an .mp3 in my misc folder, with "ALBUM=LIVE", only later in the scanning process it finds the Police album in question. As long as "Live" is included popular album title which requires an artist match the .mp3 doesn't show up in the same album as the Police .flacs but they still "inherit" its title, including capitalization. But why would slimserver assume the album titles to be the same in the first place? One is "LIVE", the other is "Live!" At the very least it's not case sensitive and even that would only explain it if the ! at the end of the second album's title either got stripped or if it were determined by the directory name at this point, which is just "Live" to avoid any special char problems. I retagged the .mp3 to use "ALBUM=__LIVE" for testing and suddenly the Police one came out fine, as "Live!" As sonn as I reverted it was all "LIVE" again. When's ALBUM read anyway, i couldn't find it in the --d_info output? C. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Album Art
Maybe someone can help me with this problem. I have done a search of the FAQ and this forum but can't find an answer to this question. When browsing by album using the handheld skin on a PDA, when selecting an album, the cover art, when present, is displayed at whatever size it happens to be, so it can be the size of a postahe stamp or you can only see the top left hand corner. Is there any setting that can set the cover art to always display at 100x100 or 175x175.
