Slimserver is double counting my songs. I have approx. 4,000 songs, but 8,000 show up on the statistics in Slimserver. I suppose I know why this is happening, but not how to correct it. Right now, Slimserver is counting each song by two locations. The first location is what I'll term (probably incorrectly) the virtual address: \\Newdesktop\shareddocs\My Music\Elvis Costello\Brutal Youth\Elvis Costello-Brutal Youth-03-13 Steps Lead Down.mp3 The second location is, then, what I'll call the physical address: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Elvis Costello\Brutal Youth\Elvis Costello-Brutal Youth-03-13 Steps Lead Down.mp3 Obviously, these are two ways of pointing to the same location.

There's a difference between "moveable" and "portable". A cellphone is portable, it's DESIGNED to be moved around, it has batteries and requires no connections. Likewise an iPod, or a walkman, or a camera. These devices, of course, are designed to be resiliant to the usual kind of abuse they get being carted around in people's pockets (although whether you're going to get much joy from the warranty if you break it is another story). On the other hand, many devices, whilst small enough to be moveable are not designed to be operated while in motion or moved frequently or carelessly. Examples - a small TV, a regular corded telephone, a clock radio, a blender. These items's don't have batteries, do require cables to be connected and do not pass drop tests. The SB3, whatever you feel it may look like, fits into the latter category. The fact that it happens to share a couple of design elements with an iPod (curves? shiny plastic front?) doesn't change that. > As to buying more SB3s I did suggest it to my wife and guess what she > said?

"Do you have any recursive network shortcuts? Any long playlists, recursive playlists or playlists with deleted/obsolete items?" Mark, thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Also, the last URL is different that the others, however it is an active URL as of this post. Even though this is the playlist that I've used for the last few months without problems up until now, could this setup be giving me problems?

I upgraded to 6.2.2 during the last few days and tonight I discovered that I'm having problems FTPing large(ish) files across my WLAN from the machine that uses my SB2 as a bridge. I use FileZilla to FTP files up from a Debian-based server through my SB2 to a Windows XP upstairs and the copy is usually no problem, but since the upgrade I haven't been able to FTP a 236MB file. The transfer starts OK (>700KB/s) but after 30 seconds or so the transfer seems to stall and the transfer rate drops to ~1KB/s, triggering retries and eventually a complete failure. Strangely enough the copy worked fine using a Samba drive mounted across the WLAN. Has anyone else seen a similar problem? Wireless signal strength is showing at 36% which is quite low (possibly due to weather conditions), but I wouldn't have thought this would cause any major problems. -- dSw dSw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=362 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23562 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Today, I deleted the problematic MP3s from the Linux folder & copied fresh copies over the network. Then I rescanned the library & all was well with the world.

Checked SlimServer, it was not running, so started it. Tried to play something, same thing again. Restarted SS and tried to play via the web interface, same thing. SS would stay running until I tried to play something, which simply caused SS to stop. Tried rebooting etc to no avail, so re-installed 6.2.1, which has been running for months, and all was well again - music ! SB3 is still running FW 48 so it's SS 6.2.2 which is the problem. My hardware has not changed in as many (more in fact) months and it's running Windows Server 2003 SP1. Wireless LAN (80% signal), router is a Netgear WGT624 v3 (with fast mode disabled).

[slim] Slimserver/Softsqueeze and FLAC files
I'm trying to configure FLAC files to run on Slimserver. I'm using slimserver on my WinXP pc at home and then access it via softsqueeze and openssh at work. The mp3 files run without any problems ( I had to change the Softsqueeze player at my work to a bitrate of 96Kbps to ensure a continous music stream ). However my library also contains FLAC files. When I play these they become interrupted/choppy. I don't believe there are settings to change the bitrate for the FLAC files so I did some checking in the Server / File Formats section to see if FLAC was enabled. It was for my SB3 but while at work I want to stream my FLAC files from the Softsqueeze player. To enable this I believe I had to select FLAC / MP3. When I did the above I get the following error in SlimServer. "Required binary was not found: [flac] -dcs --skip=$START$ --until=$END$ -- $FILE$ | [lame] --resample 44100 --silent -q $QUALITY$ --abr $BITRATE$ - -" So after getting this error I thought that my server didn't have the correct files to run the FLAC files from the server. I downloaded the latest LAME files and placed then in the Slim Server directory. But this error still happens. Is there a posted file/FAQ somewhere as to how to configure the FLAC LAME files on a Softsqueeze player being driven from my Slim Server?

Well, to add to this train of thought, Squeeze has done a great job of being a niche product, but to bust out to the mainstream the price will have to come down. Wi-fi appliances like the SB3 don't cost $300, they cost $150, $200 at most. I've showed my SB2 off to several friends who were very interested in the device until they found out what the cost was. You'd really think with direct sales they could sell for less and still make a good profit (while possibly increasing their volume). Then again, maybe that's not the goal, maybe they would like to sell more to the Niche crowd. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23505 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Tuning Capital FM (London)
(had this posted in another thread regarding use in the UK, but thought best to break it out separately as the topic varies slightly...) I've been trying to get Capital FM streaming via my Slimp3 and/or SB3. I've only been testing with the Slim (as it's closest to me at the moment), but can't quite seem to get it working. The URL I've been using is: http://audio3.musicradio.com/capitalsuperhi When I try to tune this in, I get 'WMA Convert error - check file types' displayed on the Slim. Is this an issue particular to the slim, or do I have something configured incorrectly? I was under the impression it's possible to transcode radio stations, so if transcoding to MP3 anyway I can't see why it wouldn't work on the Slim. If I need to change convert.conf, can anyone offer any pointers? In the other thread someone had mentioned going to Internet Radio > Slim Devices Pics > By City > London, but I don't have the 'By City' menu... mine goes straight to the list of Slim Devices picks... and I can't see any way to enable/change it.

These could cause it to think the connection is congested and hence record drops. The new version suppresses busts of test packets if the server computer is running slow.

[slim] SlimServer stopping & CPU maxing out..HELP!
After having stable, continuous operation of the SlimServer (previous
version), it's now stopping after a few hours. Here are the details:
Running Windows XP
Running SServer 6.2.2; configured to start automatically
Wireless network uses Linksys Wireless-B BEFW11S4
Using Linksys media player WMLS-11b that is configured to play SServer
as a 'favorite'.
SServer comes up as http://localhost:9000/
Recent changes to my system:
Upgraded to 1g ram
Prior to my ram upgrade, prior version of SServer would start and run
continuously without any interruptions. I'd get an occasional drop or
gap thru my media player, but I'm attributing that to the network
and/or the player. SServer stayed on for days w/no problems.
After my ram upgrade (I'm guessing coincidentally), I notice SServer
would shutdown. When I would click the icon in the system tray
("SServer Stopped") and click "start", it would attempt load IE, but
I'd get "page not available".
I also noticed that at this point my CPU usage was a solid 100% and
everything was running very slowly. It's as though SServer was 'loading
up' and not 'dumping' or 'recycling' data, or resources (I know that
these aren't the correct terms, & I'm no computer guy...).
The reason that I say this, is that after stopping SServer and stopping
the process in Task Manager (55,764k mem. usage) my computer went back
to normal & my CPU usage went back to 5 - 15%.
After trying to restart SServer, I'd get the 'connecting' or 'starting'
flashing icon, but it would never connect (page unavail).
I decided to update SS version to 6.2.2. It seemed to improve in that
it didn't shut down as soon. But today, it shut down again & my CPU
usage was at 100%. I closed SS, and ended the process, and my CPU went
back to the norm...5%+/-.
Also, after restarting SS, it now does load up on IE, so it looks like
it will restart without a problemI'm just confident that it will
shut down eventually, and my CPU will be maxed out as a result, once
again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm... thanks, but when I go to Slim Devices Picks I don't have a 'By city' option... going right from this menu takes me directly into the list of their favs. Is there something that must be enabled somewhere?? Could this menu be disabled on a Slimp3???

[slim] Qnap TS-101
Firstly I'd like to say hi to everyone - been browsing the forums for quite a while now and finally decidedd to come out of my shell and join in. I bought the Qnap and Squeezebox combination back in January (ok I didn't actually get them until end of March, but hey, they're coming form a long way-a-way and are out of Paul's control - lets not get started on that one again!) Since getting them I can honestly say that they are brilliant, I had to update the initial firmware to get over the hanging when transferring files and had a email chat with Paul a couple of weeks back because the audio randomly dropped every few minutes, we eventually discovered that the digital out connection had let go of the cable on the back of the Squeezebox! Anyway to my points: I'd like to nominate (if that's the way these things are done) Qnap for a forum of its own. At the moment, every query and bit of information is buried in the 40+ page thread and this makes it a bit difficult to find things, and any query gets added on the end. I've noticed that when Slimserver updates are released that they overwrite all settings/preferences, is there a way of either saving the settings and copying them back or preserving them? Does anyone know the way of setting up MusicMagic with the Qnap Slimserver? Can it be done? Anyway, just to reiterate, the combination is IMHO, an absolute winner and I think that Paul has done a great job under some sometimes difficult conditions. Sometimes you just have to groundbreaking and be a set of gineau pigs to get anywhere in this world!

It's a trivial task for any programmer to write a small utility that traverses your music library recursively and adds 0s to the numbers where appropriate. Look at the first 5 (or so) characters in filename. If there is a digit look at the next character. If the next character is not a digit insert 0 before current character. This works for albums with track numbers up to 99 (probably 99% of all cases) -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23366 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Squeezebox3 stutter/skip
Just to tie this thread off. We had been trying to reproduce the stuttering problem for a long time. It was delaying the release of 6.2.2! Finally, our RMA technician, Enrico noticed a couple units stuttering. I loaded firmware 28 on them as many users had reported and the problem went away! Only a small fraction of SB3s turned out to have this symptom, and all the effected the units worked great with firmware 28. I soldered on a header to allow Richard Titmuss in the UK to debug the hardware and shipped it to him. After some investigating, he discovered that a new SDK from one of our suppliers had a different default value for bus timing. He set it back to the old default, and the problem was cured. The changes were put into firmware 45, and were officially released in firmware 48, currently available as part of the Slimserver 6.2.2 download at http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html -- ChrisOwens -- Christopher Owens QA Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] (510) 743-1152 x717 ChrisOwens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21265 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have had my two Slimp3s and two Squeezeboxes for a few years and have really enjoyed them. Having said that, I recently got some money and switched to Sonos. I like the Slim devices but now would like to see them go to someone else. Is there an market for the older devices? I've read people saying to sell them on eBay but I hate to use eBay.

[slim] Re: Filter Genre
Hi Well, I can't argue with the princple of simple solutions if they solve most of our problems! However I fear that what you've suggested may be a little too simple and might only solve a minority of problems. What you've suggested (hide music from these paths or with these genres from a player) would be a neat solution to the "don't play adult material in the playroom" problem. Though I'm not sure it would be a quick or easy thing to implement! I don't think it solves the problem of keeping different users' music separate, except in the special case where one user = one player. And I don't think it solves the general "Collection" problem, which allowed for overlapping sets of music to be in use at different times. Having said that, I've been trying to think of an alternative "simple" solution to your problem and can't think of one!
