I'm sure there are some good ideas in here, but I wonder whether the wiki might not be a better place to build a 'wishlist' page? That would allow a quick summary of the ideas to be listed, and if any of the ideas would benefit from a fleshing-out then they could link to their own wiki page, or to a bugzilla enhancement if the idea is to be pushed into a real development, perhaps? The list/forum is a good place for discussion, but once discussion dies down I suspect the memory of these ideas will just fade away. I don't mind starting one off (and copying the ideas from this thread), if there's any consensus and other people would chip in. I'd be happier if Slim Devices said they'd use it before I did that, though! Just an idea. Rather than practice what I preach, though, here's my idea... I'd like the toggle list of plugins on the server settings-plugins page to also be a list of hyperlinks to the plugin settings further down the page. I always find it a bit of a trudge scrolling down a large left pane when there are a lot of plugins to find the section for a particular plugin - if I could just click on the plugin title at the top of that page and be scrolled down automatically it would be a lot quicker. -- hickinbottoms -Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after - with 'Lazy Searching' (http://hickinbottom.demon.co.uk/lazysearch)!- hickinbottoms's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=255 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Re: Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
I'd like to see a web-based interface for installing plugins. i.e. come up with a packaging standard (even if it is just a zip file of the plugin distributable) and allow the user to upload the file to the server. Then have the server install everything in the right place. Beyond the basics, the system should then deal with versioning, server compatibility (server version and OS), and automatic updates - the firefox extension system being a good example.

Hi there. I created that bug report. Unfortunatly CUE sheet support has always been a issue for slimserver, 6.3.1 is not different. For this reason i use 6.5b (which is looking pretty good for CUE sheets). There are a couple of things that can help with 6.3.1; 1. keep the CUE and image in the same folder. 2. emebed the CUE into the IMAGE file as a tag. Can help buts does not work for every format. 3. remove the 'album' tag from the image file or set it to something like Image files. you will have an album entry in slimserver called image files where all the images files are which is neater (just removing the album tag will give you an entry called no album These work arounds may help but i would suggest trying a few beta for size.

However, since I think we are in brainstorming mode (therefore no criticism allowed ) perhaps I can try to turn this round a little. Is what you are looking for actually an enhancement to tell slimserver to guess tags other than artist/album/title from file names? EG have an option to tell it that the file structure is in the form genre/artist/album/track and to populate the database appropriately? You'd need this to be user configurable, of course. That would seem neat, doable, and meet the requirement? Potentially expandable for other tags too, like Year? You'd need to be sure you were consistent in you file structure for it to be useful, though.

It worked fine the day before and had been turned off normally.. I unistalled Slimserver on the laptop and loaded a fresh install. I re-installed Alien BBC and restarted it and tried again.

[slim] Wireless range
Hi All, I started a thread a couple of weeks ago about signal strenght. My SB2 seemed to be much deafer that other wireless devices I have, and I could not use it at my bedside, 'cause it was more distant from my AP, with large wall in between and a marble staircase. To add that, someone stated that SB3 had 30% less reception than SB2, so I felt on a dead end. I decided to purchase two SB3s anyway, and I'm happy to say that my SB3 is much more sensitive than SB2, and it works fine placed in my bedroom. To give some figures, I get 33% on my SB2 and 70% on my SB3. I am planning to replace the SB2 antenna with a longer stud, but would like to know if the insides of SB2 hide any trimmer or is there any tinkering one can try to inprove wireless range. regards, -Gian -- gian gian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26943 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Upgrading to SlimServer 6.5: plugins?
Hi SlimServer 6.5 is due to be officially released shortly. I have tried fairly recent builds of 6.5 while still in Beta. Unfortunately, I had to go back to SlimServer 6.3.1, as many of the plugins seemed to give problems... I am aware that some plugins have a separate 6.5 version (i.e. slimscrobbler and last.fm radio), however, that did not do the trick for me. When 6.5 is going to be released, is there going to be a described upgrade path? Would it be best to completely remove 6.3.1 before moving to 6.5? Which plugins can we keep without any problems, and which should we uninstall/upgrade? I am very much looking forward to the official release of 6.5, as when I run it clean (no 3rd party plugins) it was fast and reliable (browsing albums was much quicker compared to 6.3.1). However, I am reluctant to move from 6.3.1 if it means my favourite plugins are no longer working :) Regards, Matt -- matthijskoopmans matthijskoopmans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26947 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

What if you turn off one of your other devices? Does the slowdown still occur? On a whim I googled DI-624 slow down and there's a lot of information -- mostly related to BitTorrent.

You could certainly try another antenna!

Does 6.5 let people who use FLAC images and cues ride in the front of the bus with everyone else? These are the things that it seems I miss out on in 6.3: - FF/RW inside tracks. - (Album) Replay gain (? need to check this) - Ability to put ARTISTSORT ALBUMSORT (by whatever name) into the cue file. Other than that, I think a driver to emulate a really long cable from the soundcard might be nice, but I'm pretty happy with how it works.

Re: [slim] Re: Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
I would like a way to customize your library by player. I have a SLIMP3 in my son's room and a Squeezebox in the living room. There are certain tracks I don't want available to my son. Interesting idea... as a variation on the theme, why not arrange for this data to be stored in some tag or other in the music files? A better solution would be to use multiple music libraries/personas. Eg. you could have libraries/personas called Dads and Son's. You could have 3 music folders - Dad's, Son's and Shared. Dads persona could include Dads music folder and shared. Son's persona could include Son's music folder and shared. Son's Squeezebox could be configured to use Son's persona, so would use Son's music library. Living room Squeezebox could be configured to use Dad's persona. Optionally, perhaps a persona could be configured with a password to restrict access. Optionally, perhaps restrict persona's to specific players. I think this kind of support is so versatile, it could fit in with many different user requirements.

[slim] Re: Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
Hi, while the discussions about the administration of music collections are important and I mostly agree, there are other slimserver related issues that shouldn't be forgotten: 1) try to reduce the footprint of SlimServer. This is very important for the increasing use of small Linux fileservers (Synology, Linkstation and others) where SlimServer has to run. Certainly it usees too much ressources, mainly memory, compared to many other applications running on the same systems. I know, it's perl interpreted, but even then... Perhaps modularizing more and implementing more functions as optional plugins? Maintain the core functionality as small as possible. 2) implement native support for RSTP (upgrading the SQbox firmware). It's quite a pain to get AlienBBC working on small machines (see above). Or are there any copyright or technical issues for not doing it? 3) optimize the Web interface for small devices like handhelds, smartphones and so on. I usually don't carry a laptop with me.

I thought about this, too. This would imho be (like many of the other suggestions in this list) a great opportunity for a plugin author or somebody who'd like to know more about the slimserver's innards to get started with. Nothing everybody wants, thus no core functionality to be built into slimserver, but really handy if you have use for it. Can't you just copy a block of options from the slimserver.prefs file?

[slim] Re: Degraded Wireless Network Performance
It sounds like a problem with your router. I thought a firmware upgrade would fix your problem, but it looks like you're already on the latest firmware. Does your laptop have a 802.11g card in it? If so, double-check that the D-Link router is configured for g only and not mixed mode. That will make better use of the available bandwidth. One other possibility might be to turn off security if you're using it. You could probably get by with MAC address filtering to keep people from free-loading on your internet connection. Of course if all this fails I recommend you get a new router. Personally I despise the D-Link routers. I'd recommend a Linksys WRT54GL if you want something high quality at a decent price. You can pick one up for $40-$60. Good luck!

First of all, thank you for the reply and the advice.I decided to give this another go. Previously I installed the 6.5 beta without first uninstalling my 6.3 install. This time I uninstalled 6.3, deleted the old SlimServer directory, rebooted, and then installed the Sept 1st nightly of 6.5.I no longer see my originally reported problem. However, I am still seeing frequent server crashes. I say crash -- what I mean is that the server will be up and running, and while I am changing server settings or player settings, the web interface stops responding and I find that the service has stopped. Per your advice, I checked the event logs. Precisely at the time when the server stops, I see an event with the following information:Event Type: InformationEvent Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: NoneEvent ID: 7036Date: 9/1/2006Time: 10:12:45 PMUser: N/AComputer: CATFOODDescription:The SlimServer service entered the stopped state.For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.Any advice would be appreciated on how to further debug this.

I can see where the support for multiple libraries and personas could be used to acheive my goal, however, I don't really see that as a better solution. That would require me to change the way I organize my music (which is used for more than just the my Squeezeboxes.) Also, your method becomes somewhat difficult for someone with a lot of players because one shared folder probably wouldn't do. For example, say you have three players and song A is shared by players 1 and 2 but not 3, however, song B is shared by players 2 and 3 but not 1. And, of course, there's song C shared by players 1 and 3 but not 2. A single shared folder would not do. Toss in more players and really big libraries and it could start to get really complex. The only way to manage that with folders would be to start having a separate library for each player which would end up with a lot of redundancy and use a lot of disk space (not to mention making adding music a little more cumbersome.) Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of SlimServer supporting multiple libraries and being able to control which players see which libraries. However, my personal preference is to also be able to filter at the album, track and playlist level for each player. In other words, I want to be able to look at a track and say I want player 1 and 2 to see it but not player 3. A nice GUI for this would be my check box idea. -- jtfields jtfields's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
