I too have had number of issues with builds in the 6.x realm. However, I've found 6.2.2 to be extremely stable (on my linux server) and responsive in the SB UI. http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/SlimServer_v6.2.2/ I think the key is not to be on the bleeding edge of the releases (unless thats your thing... not that there is anything wrong with it =). 6.2.2 is feature complete to 6.2 and contains two point releases worth of bug fixes.

[slim] Re: Powered speakers
Thought I'd throw in my $0.02. I absolutely love my Tannoy Reveal Actives. I have a $15k Linn system that is my pride and joy... but I'm constantly shocked at what I can hear on the Tannoy's that I can't on the Linn system. The Tannoy's are studio speakers so they are designed to be neutral in sound. Personally, I like this more "true" sound but some may find it a bit harsh (especially when compared to a softer sound like the Linn's). Tannoy's have been used in audio engineering studios for years so many of the CDs that you listen to may been mixed using these speakers... so in the ideal world, you are hearing the mix as close to what the engineer intended as possible.

Yes, I did have both a Squeezebox2 and a SoftSqueeze connected.
Upgrading to the Aug 10 6.5 build seemed to resolve this problem.
But I am now back to my old problem once again.
I can connect, download channel data, etc - but no stream seems to get
spit out. The Squeezebox constantly says "Connecting..."
In looking at the SlimServer, it is getting the song/artist in the Now
Playing section - just no audio. The plug-in seems to work just fine
through SoftSqueeze, so it is definitely something in my hardware
setup...
There doesn't seem to be any errors in the d_plugin or d_http logs. And
yes, my File Types Windows Media (built-in) is definitely unchecked...
Any thoughts? I'm close to the gun-to-the-head state on this.

[slim] Re: Wireless bridge mode - does the router "see" the MAC behind it?
In my experience and with some research I don't believe your router will see the MAC address of the network device bridged through your SB3. I've used multiple routers with multiple different bridge wireless clients all with the same results. I have a Tivo bridged through my SB3 and the router only see's the MAC address of the SB3. The Tivo has a static IP and I have never had a connection problem to it. In addition, my server is connected to Netgear wireless client (bridge) and you only see the MAC address of the wireless client bridge and not the server. In this case, you may have problems with a router trying to provide a dhcp ip mapped to a specific MAC address when the device is behind the SB3 bridge. In small environments, there is no need to use dhcp unless you are moving devices between networks (i.e. laptop). -- joek joek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26183 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Can slimserver generate a "report"?
I have a project that I have been cooking away at, that I intend to release when I am happy with it. It will query the DB (if you are using mysql / I have not tested it with the stock DB) and create a page in a PDF document with the cover art, a barcode of the album id, a barcode of the artist id, artist, title, and a track listing one page per album. It will also create an index of artists and albums at the end. It "works for me TM" but will honestly take some doing to get it setup, I don't have it cleanly polished and packaged. I have only tested it on Fedora core 4 Linux, but it should work on most Linux variants. Some porting would be required to make it work under cygwin/windows.

You are right I forgot about that. So ok you could but you would also have to re-establish the net connection with the server. How long would this take? Probably not too long in most cases. But why go to this trouble? What is so important about disabling a rather weak RF signal. The radiation from just about everything else in the world is stronger. Your cell phone for instance when idle is probably stronger than wifi. Another question, will you be disabling the access point too when you disable the SB?

The SB would NEVER be able to turn on via IR if it can not talk to the server. So if you turn off the wireless it can not talk to the server and therefor would not be able to be turned on via IR.

My laptop is configured to not spin down the HD and while I have several windows open (Outlook, IE, Excel, etc.), there aren't any other heavy duty applications actively running at the time. You are right that it's nothing to do with transcoding at this point since nothing is playing. As a side experiment, if I launch Slimserver on my PC, and click on "Browse Albums", it takes about 15 seconds for the library to appear. The second delay (from "play" to music actually starting) may be attributable to transcoding.

Again, the issue is that the ON command is processed by the server. The SB needs to be in communication with the server so that the server can turn it on. If the wireless module is off, the command can't get to the server. This would require a substantial hardware redesign (the ability to power up in firmware) so it's not likely to happen with the SB3.

No, that's a list of transcodings (and non-transcodings = direct transfers) to enable. If possible, convert the music to a lossless format that can natively be played by the SB and you will lose that delay.

When I just plugged in a cable, nothing happened, as you wrote. If it was connected to something powered I got that question, and could disable bridging - which was enabled before. When I earlier checked "Current Network Settings" it said "Bridge wireless to ethernet: Yes". Now it says no. It SHOULD not make a difference if nothing is connected to the port, but if it made no difference at all I believe that setting wouldn't be there. I bought it used, and since it doesn't work as well as my other SB3 I'm checking all settings. Both usually get between 65-80% signal strength, but this one can stutter an lose the connection. I will of course swap the two and see if the placing is the crucial thing, but first I wanted to sync the settings between the two. -- tommypeters tommypeters's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26183 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you don't have anything plugged in it was never enabled in the first place. If you ever enabled it in the past, as soon as you unplug the Ethernet cable, wireless bridging is disabled - there's nothing to bridge. I didn't have to disable bridging when I moved the Ubuntu PC but the network found it when I plugged it directly into my router - this means the SB3 is not redirecting traffic to the Ubuntu PC's MAC address through its wired port anymore, even though I never disabled bridging. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26183 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Maybe if I would connect it to a wired network so I'm able to select wired networking, then later changing wireless network again - maybe the question bridging yes/no will reappear then...? -- tommypeters tommypeters's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26183 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

As I said, just because someone has ported an application to a platform doesn't mean the platform was designed for that in the first place. Sure, it can do those things, but it wasn't designed for many of them. By your definition, any of the current windows mobile devices are swiss army knives. Yet they are useless for many of the things people attempt with them, like Web browsing and so on. BTW...

It is not curious. The 770 is not a swiss army knife because it has been created for very constrained use cases - it's an Internet tablet. That is how it is designed, and that is what it is for. You should notice my mention of paradox; it is true that the 770 has a lot of extendability potential due to its platform, but that doesn't change the ethos udner which the product was designed. -- Smiley Dan Smiley Dan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5456 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26233 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
