Ctrl did the trick. Thanks Andy. I guess I can do without the close button, since the remote can be dragged off-screen with out getting lost. Since it's anchored to the device, you can position it below the device and then anchor the Transporter window to the bottom of the screen. To get the remote back, you just have to drag the Transporter window up. -- rds rds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26711 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

After setup networking you hit the right arrow and you SHOULD see: Press UP/DOWN to change, RIGHT to go on Connect to an ethernet network At this point you can hit up/down to toggle to wireless. If you're not seeing the wireless option there you might want to contact who you got the SB1 from, and ask if it was problematic.

[slim] Re: Gapless over internet streaming?
You may want to try setting up your SlimServer box to use SSH. There's a good tutorial here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?ConnectingRemotely If you want to use OPENSSH, there's a good set of instructions here: http://bmonday.com/articles/653.aspx Not only does SSH greatly increase security, it also bypasses most corporate proxy servers. I've been able to bypass the proxy server at work using SoftSqueeze, and it works great. I'm even able to access the web UI, since it looks like SoftSqueeze does some port forwarding behind the scenes. Just connect to http://localhost:9000 once you have SoftSqueeze connected, and you are all set. -- Rich2211 Rich2211's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] New version of SoftSqueeze
I've been using the new version of SoftSqueeze that ships with the latest 6.5 nightlies. Very, very nice, especially the new Transporter interface. Anyway, does anyone know how to move or close the remote? On the old version, the right mouse button could be used to drag the remote separately from the device. Also, the remote could be closed. Neither of these functions seem to be available. I realize that this is an alpha version and these features may have not been implemented yet, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't just missing something obvious. The remote is so big that it often ends up displaying right overtop the device and, even when it doesn't, it's generally in the way.

Interesting piece of hardware. Is that cpu really sufficient to do on-the-fly transcoding in order to support formats not native to our beloved SB?

i'm streaming to a local player (splay) Next time you got high CPU usage try shutting down these players (not only stopping playback). silence.mp3 IMHO is being played while your playlist to a software player is empty. and occassionally, a remote one over the internet.

Now that -is- cool! Cheap, fanless, comes with everything you need - just looking at the back I was going to say there'd be trouble with a primary + backup drive with only one USB port, but of course there are two ports in the front. 128 MB of RAM should be better than a lot of the NAS devices. Bet they're going to sell a lot of "evaluation" units. ;-) The size is pretty amazing - smaller than most external drive enclosures I've seen! They don't mention what speed the processor is clocked at. If the whole thing is $120 it can't be a ULV Pentium or even a VIA C-series. I don't know if the AMD Geode processors are x86. I wish they used an SD slot instead of CF. CF is on the decline now, while SD is becoming very popular and very cheap. 18 months ago I got a 512 MB SD for $85.

I use a mobile to stream music from my SlimServer, but its IP address is dynamic (from the provider), so each time i make a new data connection, my IP address is different. So each time, a new player is created. this is a huge pain, cause i need to set the bitrate-limiter to a lower bitrate as my bandwidth is too narrow to stream at 320kbps. If it's not possible, I'd sure like to see an option where you can set default options for "new" players, including a default playlist or something, as new players per default come up with an empty playlist, and need to set one through the web-browser. So it's all possible right now to play tracks from my server through UMTS onto my PocketPC, but euhm it sure isn't easy. As a third option, i thought about SSL tunneling, as connecting to an SSL tunnel would be streaming from the localhost (at both SS and the PocketPC) and this would eliminate the problem, as SS would only see a localhost connecting, having only a single player to setup, but: i can't find any SSL tunneling programs for a PPC. Anyone any thoughts on this, on any of these options? -- Heimiko Heimiko's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26690 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have the same setup (SB3 + T-Amp + speakers in my bed room, study and kitchen) and I definitely hear a hiss when I put my ear against the speakers. I don't hear anything a meter away, and I don't position my speakers on my night stand so this is no problem. It was a problem with the powered computer speakers that I used before that. They were annoying in the bed room. Regards, Peter ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Double tracks in playlist
The latest build fixes my complaint. Playlists no longer have tracks listed twice.

[slim] Re: Double tracks in playlist
When you ripped, did you also create .cue files? It's a common problem when the info in the cue files is similar but not exactly the same as in the tags. Might be the same with the .m3u and other playlists. In 6.5 you can specify that certain extensions should be "dismissed", with 6.3.1 you need to RAR (or something similar) your cue files. Also watch out for multiple .m3u files. -- tommypeters SB3-->Meridian G68-->NuForce Ref8-->Bc Acoustique ACT A3 tommypeters's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26609 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I haven't bothered to measure how long the Cantons take to go into standby. It certainly isn't instant. All I know is that they always do shut off. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26562 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
