[slim] GUI to manage Slimserver DB?
For me Windoze mere mortal, the slimserver DB is a blackbox. And whenever I encountered any of the many little slim DB hiccups, I ended up deleting the entire database and let it rebiuild which takes hours on end. Is there any programs out there for windoze users to be able to diretly access the SQLite DB to make minor adjustments? -- agentsmith agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26759 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Newbie problem with installing SlimServer on Linkstation
Okay cheers for the advice. As a recap, i reset the firmware of the linkstation and did a factory reset of the squeezebox. I have left the default version of perl installed. As indicated slimserver version 5.4.0 worked on the linkstation, but not on the squeezebox, but from the above post it appears that it doesn't support squeezebox3, so i guess this is normal. I have installed version 6.3.1 and a version named v2005-09-10 (not sure which version this is). With these i get the following error message ./slimserver.pl --daemon --prefsfile /mnt/slim-data/slimserver.pref --cachedir /mnt/slim-data The following modules failed to load: DBD::SQLite XML::Parser HTML::Parser Compress::Zlib To download and compile them, please run: /mnt/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl So not really much further on, could this indicate i need to install some other 3rd party software like mySQL (see above post)? -- stevos stevos's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21385 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Buffering!?
First of all, how are your friends connecting and attemting to play music? What players are they using at their end? What format is the music stored in on your server? If they are trying to stream high bitrate music across the internet it is likley that this will fail as the player at their end cannot get enough data fast enough to enable playing of a continuous stream. You will need to set up bitrate limiting for the remote players such that the streams get transcoded to a suitable mp3 format prior to sending. Secondly, having your ports open is a little dangerous as you are enabling access to your slimserver to anybody who can hit your ip address. This would include the neat trick of selecting a suitable song and feeding it to your player (ideally if you have one called bedroom) at maximum volume at 3am. I would hope you are using some form of security such as ssh. davep -- davep davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26761 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Oh, guys, give it a rest already. There is excellent support, from Slim Devices, for their box and their software. If you have a problem with Slimserver, you can take it there. This forum is not for problem solving. It's for enthusiasts to trade other more esoteric information. We can also occasionally help out with problems, but we're not well equipped, don't have the database and whatever other tools the support staff have, and most importantly, we're not paid to be problem solvers. While it's true that a few of the Slim staff, including the CEO, browse these forums, almost none of the support staff do. *Reporting a problem here is not reporting it to Slim support.* And it has a considerably *lower* chance of getting fixed here than with the proper support channels. The original poster has already made it clear he wasn't asking for help. So, for the purposes of this forum, his posting was noise, not signal. How about we let this drop now? It's a totally pointless waste of time to debate whether we should be polite to someone that is not looking for help by venting in the wrong place.

Hmm. Just out of curiosity, I turned WEP back off. Now it got an IP address. I had 2 different people look at the WEP key I entered, and they thought it looked exactly like the one on my router config and my laptop: then I had them try entering it: nothing (I did this to try to eliminate user error as the cause-- clearly this might not have worked, but I don't think the probability of that being the case is terribly high). Interestingly, I only turned WEP on yesterday, at a friend's insistence (I do have mac address filtering on, though). The several months I had the squeezebox working, I had the network open. I realize this is a security hole, but my attitude is that anyone who can break through my firewall to do anything really bad is perfectly capable of breaking through the wep. So I guess I'll go back to having an open network for now (the idea of going back to a cd player is so unpleasant that I'd much prefer going back to leaving my network open :)).

This is nothing new, folks. Trunk remains experimental, and there is a branch for what will be considered stable and only for tested fixes. As 6.3.x has been release and done for some time now, and 6.5 is due for release, this means 6.5 is now being branched as a stable build. There is always the transition time, and for at least a few days 7.0 will be exactly what 6.5 is. no changes, therefore no changelog.

Tried an easier 64-bit key instead of 128. Nothing. I, too have begun to suspect some kind of WEP incompatibility. After googling my router, I found that a lot of people have complaints about it, although I never had problems with my ex-wife's laptop, and my new one works fine. I agree with you that this seems like the most probable culprit. I was thinking I'll just get a newer router that does 211.g at some time soon, and see if that fixes things. At this point, since I have music again, I'm happy :).

JJZolx wrote: I think the idea is that 6.5 is considered close enough (and with September 18th looming large on the horizon) that they've branched 6.5 off to only receive bug fixes. I would expect most or all of those bug fixes to also be posted to the 7.0 trunk, but I'd also watch the Slim Checkins list very carefully for the bombs that will be dropped there. I'm a little surprised at the jump to 7.0 myself, since the Software Roadmap (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SoftwareRoadmap) shows some Post 6.5 (But pre 7.0) goals. I would have thought that meant the release of a SlimServer 6.6 almost by definition. Generally speaking, you branch off the next major dev branch _before_ you branch off the next minor point release. That way, today, new major functionality that's too big for 6.5 can get started in the 7.0 branch, but bug fixes and small stuff will still go in 6.5. Later, when 6.5 is closer to release, a new 6.6 branch will be created for small features and bug fixes, and only the most critical fixes will go in the 6.5 branch. It's not that different from when the 6.3 branch was created months after 6.5 work was well underway. - Marc ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Or is it that 6.5 is considered most stable? Please could you put this in terms which us simplton non developer types and understand. I am struggling with the logic of which versions are going. There are currently 2 active branches. 6.5 is in late beta, and only small new features and bug fixes are being done in this branch. It will very likely ship on or about the september release date of the Transporter. 7.0 is in early alpha. Major new functionality will be added to that branch, and on any given day, it might reformat your harddrive or download scads of free music for you from iTunes. At some point in the future (probably in 2 or 3 weeks), you can expect 6.5 to get locked down even tighter, with only critical fixes going in, and a 6.6 branch to get started for small features and bug fixes. Once 6.5 ships, small feature work will continue in the 6.6 branch, and a new 6.5.1 branch will be created for critical fixes. In general, if there are multiple active branches, the smallest version number will always be the next one that ships, and thus the most stable. A good rule of thumb is that the more branches currently exist, the more likely a beta branch is to be stable (because big work isn't going into it, it's going into one of the further off branches). However, by the same token, the more branches that exist, the _less_ likely you'll be to see a fix for any given bug going into the most stable branch -- because, unless it's really critical, it'll get pushed off to one of the less stable branches. - Marc ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Subversion trunk is always the bleeding edge. 6.5 has just been branched (around rev 9178 I believe). From this point onward, 6.5 will only get fixes and tweaks that have had some testing time in the trunk or are critical needs. By definition, this makes 6.5 now a 'stable' build. Or is it that 6.5 is considered most stable? most stable is not a phrase I'm prepared to use. Most is subjective, and will depend on the needs of the individual user. What is true is that 6.5 should no longer be seeing any big new feature shifts, which are the thing most likely to cause long term probability of bugs. There are still bugs that remain in 6.5, as anyone can see from a search on bugzilla. Hopefully most, if not all, of these can/will be fixed within the timeline of 6.5. There is always the chance that some bugs will be determined to require large rework in order to be fixable. In those cases, the fix would have to wait for 7.0, or maybe a 6.6 if it is determined that there is a reason for a release at that level. After 6.5 is released, if there are minor problems found at that time, you will likely see the 6.5 branch get renamed to 6.5.1, while the 7.0 trunk will remain 7.0 and experimental. Nothing from 7.0 would be thrown in to 6.5.1 without the same kind of conditions as we have now for putting something into 6.5.

Unfixable without larger framework changes. 6.5 works very well for me. There are the aforementioned issues, and those will vary in importance for each user. At this point, I should think that most users either won't see the issues or finds them to be nothing that can't be lived with. I haven't checked if the nightly builds are sorted out with the latest branch (as I use subversion), but I would encourage at least considering a look at 6.5 before it is released if you are counting on a fix for a particular issue. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

After that, in fact, Slim has been very generous whenever I've had a problem, in a number of cases long after the 30 days were up. After that, the experience of the OP was atypical. Vastly atypical, as my several postings about performance pointed out. So we asked him to see what was different about his system, to post logs, so we could figure it out. I have some experience poking around in the scanning section, and so do quite a few others here, so we might have been able to steer him in the right direction towards a solution. so when someone has a complaint about SS, its a stupid cop out to say the complaint should be ignored b/c SS itself is free. I never said the complaint should be ignored. Neiter, as I recall, did KDF. In fact, KDF asked 3 times to see the logs. If we can't see the diagnostic information, the complaint pretty much HAS to be ignored, because there's no information to go on. i say anyone who can't see that is willfully blind. My point exactly. Where in the whole wide world can you find someone who can fix software by telepathy? Just whine at me for a while, insult me and call me an intern, and from the sound of your voice I can tell you that you entered the wrong directory name for the music folder. It ain't gonna happen. Now, about the scanning. My background is in performance measurement and analysis. Something like 6 to 9 months ago, I did some measurements of the scanning code. Dan had done some different measurements, from a different perspective (I think he did his first, but I didn't find out about them until I produced my results). I had also written some code, in a different language, but still an interpreted one, to do much the same job. My code was more than half an order of magnitude faster. So I measured the scanning code. The part of the scanner that reads the MP3s (I only looked at the MP3 case) is only about 20% of the work. The rest of the time is taken up in the database code. The database is another open source package, written by some other people. It's a simple minded database package, easy to use, but confined to a single user at a time, and it doesn't scale well to larger datasets. So it's not really Slims code that is taking the time. At least for 6.2, the bottleneck is the database. So the major improvements being worked on and prepared for 6.5 this fall are: to move to a separate thread for scanning, so that long scan delays won't effect music quality or cause interruptions, to move to a more sophisticated database that doesn't die when presented with large amounts of data. Also, the scanning thread becomes, to the database, a separate user, so it had to be a multi-user database. Despite all that, 8,000 to 10,000 tracks should take about 15 minutes on

[slim] Problems with version 6.5b1 - 9182
Just tried upgrading from version 6.3.0 to 6.5b1 - 9182 running with Windows XP. I have Squeeze Box 1. Got a couple of problems. 1. When displaying the track title on the web interface, the track title appears all the time simply as 9. This happens for every track I have looked at so far. It displays the album name and artist name correctly. Also the correct track title appears on my Squeeze Box. 2. Various Artist albums appear multiple times!! This was not happening with version 6.3.0. But this is only affecting various artist albums which were ripped a long time ago. Recently ripped ones are ok!! I have gone from having 1550 albums to 6266 albums!!! Any advice would be much appreciated. -- norderney norderney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Slimserver scan procedure needs some serious work!
I think, Mr. Sinatra, that you're missing an important point. He didn't take the car back to the dealer. We told him several times to call support at slim. He came (in your analogy) to a car club or a swap meet, a group of enthusiasts anyways, and complained. We thought he was looking for help, tried to help, now we're here. As for the idea that this is an enthusiast site, no complaints allowed, have you actually been reading other threads? There are dozens of complaints daily, some turn into support like threads, some turn into grumbling, etc. But to come in swinging, saying the clown who wrote this should go back to school, well, it's uncalled for and I find it disrespectful. I don't have thin skin. As I've said before, he didn't bother me at all, but he did bother some other people. Maybe they were having a bad day. Maybe they took it more personally. Whatever. There does seem to be a double standard, that he can jump all over people but expects nothing to happen in response. Newtons' law ... every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I don't think we're a bunch of cheerleaders here ... there are things I wish Dan, Sean and Dean had done differently. And I've told them so, sometimes in open forum, sometimes in private email. But it wouldn't occur to me to call them interns (or other names) because I have too much respect for the documented body of work they've done. In the end, I think that's the issue. They may have made a mistake in coding, they may have made a mistake in design, but that doesn't make them amateurs or interns or clowns. Except on April 1st. I have a lot of respect for what Slim has done, for doing the sort of quality of work I would have done if it had been my company and my time. They do good work. The slim client, the server, the trade-offs, etc. Some of the tradeoffs I would have done in a slightly different place, some things I would have chosen to do somewhat differently, but basically they've been transparent and clear about their direction, much more than most technology companies I've dealt with. Try to get the sort of co-operation we get daily from Slim out of Voyetra, or Microsoft, or Creative or any of these guys. Hasn't happened to me ever. So I think we need to have a little more respect for Slim in this forum.

[slim] Multiple Network Shares for my Music Folder
I've got music on 3 servers. I want all of that music to be available to slimserver. Here's what I've done: 1) I have a windows NT domain. The slimserver service is running as Domain Administrator. (I'll lock it down later). 2) I have set slimserver (running on XP) to use a local folder (on the local C: drive) as the Music Folder 3) That music folder contains NO music. It does contain shortcuts to the music folders on the OTHER servers. The shortcuts use UNC pathing. For example: \\server1\music1 \\server2\music2 \\server3\nested1\nested2\music3 Oh yeah, there's also a shortcut to the local C:\music4 folder in there. That's the only one that slimserver lets me access via the Browse Music Folder feature. Thanks for any help!
