[slim] Artist search produces 'empty' playlist
After doing an artist search in 6.5 the artist that it finds is displayed (as you'd expect). However, if one then cursors right to see the all the tracks by that artist the list is 'empty'. However, I can still play this empty playist and sure enough track advance (FF) goes through each track that I would have expected to be in the playlist. Does anyone know if a bug has been raised for this issue? I notice there is a similar bug for LazySearch but I'm not using that plug-in.

[slim] Re: slimserver missing albums
Please check if the missing albums are listed under Artists - Various artists. Some of the Air tracks seem to be part of compilation albums. This could be another issue with compilations. For the missing Depeche Mode albums things seem to be a bit more complicated. Do any of the songs on the missing albums have more than one artist in the tags? Do you use the ALBUMARTIST (TPE2 for mp3) or DISC/DISCC (TPOS for mp3, part of a set) tags on any of the missing albums? Turn off iTunes integration for testing so we can rule that out as a possible source of error although it is probably not an iTunes issue anyway. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28718 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: slimserver missing albums
After a rescan (unfortunately it is still going) it looks like it is second guessing the tags incorrectly. My directory structure is as follows: H:\web\mp3's\depeche mode\personal jesus cd single\track 01 and so on Where for some reason it is not picking up the tags it thinks the artist is web and the cd is MP3's. The thing that puzzles me is that Media player and iTunes are both tagged perfectly. I am not sure which tag you are refering to but most of mine are tagged Artist rather than Album artist in iTunes - not sure if that helps. Would it help if converted the whole iTunes library to id tag 2.4? which I think is the latest - or should I be picking an earlier one?

I have a similar thread running at present where some of the albums have disapeared - I have found mine under Web / MP3's which is where the tracks are stored: h:\web\mp3's\depeche mode (etc) I think that it is taking the first two directories and using these rather than starting at the right point.

[slim] Re: slimserver missing albums
You probably have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in your files and one set has blank values in the artist and album frames. Remove the old ID3v1 tags from the files with a program like The Godfather or mp3Tag. There have been reports of tagging programs that failed to show ID3v1 tags even if they were there. To make sure they are removed properly open the file in a text editor and look for TAG at the end of the file. If TAG is still there then the ID3v1 tag wasn't removed properly. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28718 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Transporter vs ??
Well, I actually own one of these and although it's a very new product on the scene, I can tell you that it is very promising. The UI needs LOTS of work, but it will operate over UPnP and access a UPnP NAS directly (I have an Infrant ReadyNAS NV using same music library for my SBs) and it will play FLAC, AAC, MP3 and a couple of other formats. I'm told this has been designed as an audiophile device (it runs a Wolfson DAC) but I have not done any A/B comparos yet. It is primarily for video and no, you cannot stream HD video at high bit rates over 11g - it just doesn't work. Even ripped DVDs have trouble over 11g.

[slim] Re: slimserver missing albums
I concur with Ramage, disabling playlists and doing a clear and rescan is the only way I have found get things behaving. A rescan of new or changed miscounts artists and albums by 1 or 2 but is OK with the number of tracks. Having playlists active seems to add to the miscount of artists (almost double) on one of the screens. Also, when doing a clear and rescan I usually need to clear the IE browser's cache because one of the recently added album art is not correct. As I don't use playlists and only have 250 albums, having to do an occassional clear and rescan and clearing the cache is not a problem.

[slim] Performance server requirements
I have SlimServer (6.5.0) running on my general home server. This is a rather ancient box with a c.600MHz Pemtium II/III(?) CPU and a pair of EIDE drives in a software mirror configuration. Nothing sparkling at all but generally fine for most purposes. It runs Fedora Linux FC5 (up to date). I notice a couple of performance-related issues. If I use the SlimServer web interface, from another client PC, to browse the music archive, then I get interruptions in the playback. Would it be possible, perhaps, to increase the buffering to (SoftSqueeze) players to overcome this? When monitoring the system performance with top(1), I often see slimserver.pl using 15-25% of the CPU. I find it hard to correlate this usage with what is going on at the time. What is it doing?

Re: [slim] Re: Web interface, Firefox, memory growth
Generally, I believe it has been found that it is Firefox that is causing the leaks. There is some anecdotal evidence that 6.5 has improved this by not using certain 'buggy' scripting techniques for refreshing on Firefox. You don't say what version you are running for any of the products involved (Firefox, SlimServer) so others may not have many more specific suggestions. You might find that Firefox by itself doesn't cause the leak but one of your installed extensions does. Firefox cannot guard against a buggy extension.Ben ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've read many posts about problems with 6.5.x with interest, ever since I upgraded and experienced many of them firsthand. My major issue was that even after trying a couple of complete uninstalls and 6.5.1 nightly build reinstallations, I still had playback freeze frequently in the middle of a song, both on my SqueezeBox and SoftSqueeze players. Only after unistalling and reverting back to 6.3.1 did playback return to normal. It appears to me that SD development follows feedback of the user community closely, which is great. However, I consider myself as being more of a final product consumer than a beta tester, and prefer stable releases over cutting edge. For me it's mostly about listening to music, rather than troubleshooting software. The 6.5 release was a bit of a let-down in that regard. As a newbie, and before embarking on another round of uninstalls, upgrades, and testing, I'd love to know when SD plans to release a final stable version of 6.5.1? Or should I just keep installing nightly builds every week or so, until I hit a version that feels more stable? -- JPKaro JPKaro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7990 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28416 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Digital output loses a channel ??
Hi Sean, Thanks for the quick response. I can comment on a couple of your suggestions which may help narrow it down:- - Try a different source component to verify that the problem isn't in the speakers I can switch between sources and all other sources seem fine. - Try SB3 with a different receiverI was previously running the SB3 into my processor and then into the speakers. I can still do this if I switch cables to the SB3 as I'm using both digital inputs to the speakers. I am currently trying the SB direct to the speakers to see how they go as the speakers will upsample internally etc. - Next time it happens, instead of rebooting the SB3, try unplugging and re-plugging the s/pdif cable.I'll try that. I'm not doubting the cable as such (although wouldn't rule it out) but suspect this might give the speakers another chance to lock. It is very odd though that it has done it both sides now. I agree that spdif is normally both channels. The Meridians work with one speaker as master which gets the spdif feed first and then passes the full signal to the other slave speaker. I haven't seen it on any other source or when the SB3 was into my processor. - Try a different cable, or different type of cable (eg optical instaead of coax) I can't do that to the speakers as they only have spdif inputs. I can do that into the processor though. I'll try that after trying the spdif back to the processor when it next happens. - Next time it happens, try playing something at a different sample rate (48KHz or 32KHz material) and see if it starts working again. This causes the interface to have to re-syncI only have 44.1k flacs at the moment. I'll have a look at some 48k PCM material I have on DVD. Would going to standby and with both speakers and SB3 also not cause it to re-sync ? - Try toggling the l/r setting on the Meridians that's worth a thought. However, I'll have to switch the DSP's off to do that so that might be the same as unplugging the cable. I guess I'll have to buy a Transporter so I can feed both direct to speaker and via the processor simultaneously eh ;). It's only happened twice in about a week so it may be a few days before I catch it again. I'll post back when I do.

JPKaro;146737 Wrote: It appears to me that SD development follows feedback of the user community closely, which is great. However, I consider myself as being more of a final product consumer than a beta tester, and prefer stable releases over cutting edge. For me it's mostly about listening to music, rather than troubleshooting software. The 6.5 release was a bit of a let-down in that regard. Meet a different model! Slimserver is made by it's users. However, after the 6.3.0/6.3.1 mess, as chronicalled on these forums) it does appear like 6.5.* is repeating this, new SlimDevices quality control people or not. However (and this is a big one or two): 1) Only the people with problems post to the forums 2) The software is agressively cross platform, which if you are a user of Windows (like the vast majority of other personal computer users) comes with some downsides. Another painful thing is that you really need to *completely* remove your old 6.3.* installation (including plugins) before installing 6.5 as the architecture (seperate scanner, new database etc) is so different. Unfortunately this is not at all made plain on the Slimserver download pages (why not?? it's a simple thing to implement!). The upside is the community, the help that's offered on these forums is phenominal, second to none. These guys are angels and will help you fix almost anything (bar your toilet).

[slim] Small corrections of the database? DS-106
I'm running SS 6.3.1 on a Synology DS-106. I don't know why, but a clear/full rescan stops before it's completed. Sometimes with a lost connection error message (some timeout?), sometimes without any error message. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with some of my files, making the rescan to loop or crash, so I put just some of the files in my music directory and did a rescan. It worked. I then added a few CD's at a time and scanned new music. When I had added all CD's that were previously in my music dir, and it still worked, my theory of bad files seemed wrong. Now everything works, with some small flaws. Flaws that are usually remedied with a Clear and full rescan... Could that be fixed with some manual labour SQL skills instead? For instance, if I forgot to place a folder.jpg in some CD folders, I get an empty frame instead. Adding the folder and scan new doesn't get it shown. Getting the files re-timestamped by rewriting the tags doesn't get the album art shown - but sometimes add a second identical copy of the same CD in the album browsing. So, I want to get the newly added album art shown, and I want to remove duplicates of albums. Is there any way to get to an SQL command prompt on the DS-106 and make small corrections? Is there a way to backup the entire database? -- 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=28743 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The saga continues. I have now taken off all of 6.5.1 (or so I thought). Uninstalled from Windows and deleted the directory (I assume just the one in Program Files). Put 6.3.1 back on and same problem half the albums are under MP3's or Web (the two parent directories - H:\web\mp3's. Despite this all the other programs seem able to pick up the tags. If I go into slimserver the tag is showing 2.4 and the same is showing in iTunes so why are they both not showing the same thing. Has anyone got any suggestions where I can go from here?

I am currently running slimserver 6.0.2 on a kurobox (http://www.kurobox.com/) with two squeezebox2 units. Everything is running fine. I am considering upgrading to slimserver 6.5 because it seems to include firmware that will will allow my squeezbox2 units to decode ogg vorbis natively. However, I noticed that andyg stated that http://ms2.radio-canada.ca/PremiereChaine.ogg.m3u still needs to be transcoded by the slimserver since the ogg vorbis firmware can not decode this stream. Are there any streams, such as Virgin Radio http://www.virginradio.co.uk/thestation/listen/ogg.html that the firmware can decode?

[slim] Slimserver and .SMIL
Good day. I'm a new member to the Slim Community and very grateful for the existance of this forum. Thank you. Here's my issue: A buddy of mine wanted his SB2 to tune into RTE.ie - an internet radio station that streams in Real Audio format. He followed all the suggested steps from the 3rd Party Plug-in Forum - including downloading AlienBBC 1.06, extracting the SIPR3260.dll file and placing same into the Codecs folder, etc. Worked like a charm. Streaming RTE.ie sweetly and flawlessly. Since I also would like to stream RTE.ie, I attempted the exact same procedure on my system...but hit a snag. When I copy the radio1.smil link into the Alienstream folder on the following path: d:\My Music\Playlists\AlienStream the Slimserver does not find it. It finds the AlienStream folder just fine. But when opened, the radio1.smil file is not inside. Just to be sure, I placed a .m3u station (Radio Paradise) in the the same folder right next to the radio1.smil file. Slimserver finds the .m3u but not the .smil. I should mention that AlienBBC is working fine on my system. Any thoughts as to why Slimserver is not recognizing or finding radio1.smil? Seems to work fine on my buddy's computer.

this will fail with many filenames.
find . -type f -name \*.flac -print0 | \
xargs -0 metaflac --preserve-modtime --add-replaygain
No, my script assumes you place your files one album per directory,
which I stated in the text. I have yet to see a CD with enough tracks
to overload the command line.
Mine will also calculate album gain in addition to track gain. Yours
will not.

[slim] Re: problems displaying art - causes slimserver to crash
Same error for me, tried 6.5.0 6.5.1 and if i try to view artwork it crashes after a few seconds. Have tried 3 different computers, tried win2000 and win xp on all three, the error is exactly the same. I can write a mail later too if needed, i know im not the only one with this problem among my friends, and we dont use the same anti-virus, firewalls etc. This is from the eventviewer when i just crashed -- Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 2006-10-17 Time: 06:44:41 User: N/A Computer: SERVER Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be found.
