Re: [slim] Re: Saving playlists with remote
My only problem with the add.hold button is that sometimes I get impatient (in a hurry) and let go prematurely (let the ribbing begin!) Then I have to go rescue the track that I've accidently removed from the playlist. Would it possible to reverse these? ie. press + for PlaylistMan, and +.hold for remove track from playlist? In my experience (albeit very limited) that would work more smoothly. You can achieve that by creating a custom IR map file. I can't remember if Custom.map inherits Default.map, or whether you have to duplicate all function keys. You may want to experiment, but I know the following works: In your slimserver installation folder, go into server\IR and copy Default.map to Custom.map. Add the following to the end of the file: [playlist] add.single = addmenu add.hold= add In the web UI, go to your player settings - Remote. Select Custom for remote button functions. The default button functions remain unchanged, so you can swap back if you like. Phil ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] rescan at launch
Would it be possible to allow the option of re-scanning the library on launching the server? It would be much better if the server could check if there is new music and if there is new music re-scan this music in as it is launched. I would vote against this. Slimserver has in the past rescanned the music library at start up (not sure if it was intentional or a bug), and many people, including me, lobbied to get this functionality removed. Slimserver runs as an automatic service on my box, so it runs when XP starts up. This causes disk thrashing and slows the startup/log in cycle. Most of the time I know when I need to update my library, and prefer to do it manually when I am not using the PC for other activities. There is a rescan plugin, that can be configured to run a scheduled rescan - e.g. run it every morning. Someone also wrote a windows shell registry patch that allows a right-click on a folder to rescan just that folder. So, after adding new music, you can rescan the folder at that time. It may also be possible to configure some post-rip action in your ripping software to automatically rescan slimserver upon adding new music? I guess there's nothing wrong with requesting an auto-rescan upon server startup, but I would opt for it to be optional, with the default setting being turned off.

Nothing has been done. There is a bit of uncertainty but if there is any resolution from the developers it will not be until 7.0. Officially it was not intended that streams be capable of being bit rate limited so AFAICT the functionality of bit rate limiting aacplus in 6.3 was fortuitous. You should check whether the stream in question also provides an MP3 stream - most aacplus station also provide a lower quality mp3.

Agree with Peter go with a VPN it possible. If not then limit the source address range that you are opening the port to on your firewall.

I have seen security guys pass a string of characters that are unique. The oveflowing buffer then passes on the remainder of the string and so you can work out at what point the buffer oveflows. Also web servers may have exploits that allow foreseen access; in the old days you could navigate a computer hosting Windows IIS4 by passing directory commands in http and as most installs were in the default c:\inetsrv you could do what you liked -- Paul_B Paul ~ Slimserver 6.5.1 on EPIA VIA EN15000 Mini-ITX running Windows 2003 R2.

- MP3 stations with high bit rates lame is started but no sound comes

As soon as I've done it aacplus started working as it should with or

[slim] Re: Missing songs
Hi Mherger, Once again, thanks for your persistent help I hope you don't get too frustrated with my lack of skills here, but I simply don't follow. I'm not sure where this log should appear as I don't get a prompt or see any field which suggests a location. Although, I suspect it won't help. There is something really really bizarre going on here. Let me explain. First of all, it doesn't stop at any particular folder. I have all my music stored in one general folder called h:\music Within that folder are 576 separate sub folders. Each one contains a single artist. In other words, h:\music\coldplay or h:\music\led zeppelin etc. Now, normally the search is set to look in h:\music, essentially the root of my music files. In the past, this worked perfectly, then all of a sudden, when trying a new nightly release, these problems arose. Now, although it doesn't find all my songs, it doesn't seem to stop anywhere in particular. It has songs from folders everywhere from A through to Z, it just misses a load throughout. In fact, I don't think it even cares where it looks. Let's put it this way, and I think this is the core of the problem. If I set the music folder to search to be h:\music\snow patrol, we should assume, it will only look in that folder which has music from the band snow patrol. (61 songs in total). No other bands are in the snow patrol folder. However, it finds 480 songs, from 135 artists - none of which are actually snow patrol, and none of the mp3's reside in the folder it was supposed to search. This is the real problem. I mean, why would it find a song like this example below, when it was set to look in this folder for new songs: h:\music\snow patrol (the song it found below is stored in H:\MUSIC\Cold Play) Title: Clocks Artist: , , Album: No Album Genre: , , File Format: MP3 Duration: 5:07 Comment: Media Center / 11.0.314 / 5 File Length: 4,921,472 Bytes Bitrate: 128kbps CBR Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz ID3 Tag Version: ID3v2.3.0 Location: H:\MUSIC\Cold Play\Coldplay - Clocks.mp3 Date Modified: Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 10:49:55 AM Maybe, somehow there is a registry setting that got corrupted, and when I uninstall slimserver, to reinstall again, it doesn't fix this.

[slim] Re: Missing songs
One reason it would find music in another folder would be if you have playlists which refer to that other music. In your server settings - basic page, you have places to specify locations for both music library and playlists. Try clearing the playlists entry and just specifying a music library location. also make sure you are not using MusicIP/MusicMagicMixer or iTunes integration - both of those will cause SS to see other music. Then make sure you are doing a full clear and rescan, not just a scan for new or changed music. Michael's advice for getting more logging information was referring to running SS from a command prompt. If you are in Windows, get a Commnad Prompt window (usually in Accessories). You will probably need to change to the SS directory: cd c:\Program Files\slimserver\server Then type scanner --help to see the options. For example scanner --d_info --d_scan --logfile c:\logfile.txt which will create a lofile in the name you specify at the end of the line. If slimserver is stopped you can also start it from the command line in the same way, specifying debug and other flags.

[slim] Re: Ideas for Squeezebox 4
My 2 pence: I wouldn't want to pay any extra for the hardware required to accomodate external storage. It seems like a silly idea to me, but like others have said, that's MY OPINION! (although I am right of course ;-) ) A more flexible option might be for slimserver to monitor external storage on the server machine and make this available from the squeezebox as soon as possible. I would have thought this could be easily implemented with the current squeezebox. I think slimdevices need to be very careful with adding new features. You may think your own budget is much the same as everyone else's, but for me the squeezebox was right on the limit here in the UK. Very few of my friends would want to spend a similar amount on something like this. For me the squeezebox makes it possible to use great audio hardware and a great interface with my own dirt cheap server hardware in the background. As soon as server type functions get moved into the squeezebox the cost will surely rocket. Squeezebox 4 should have yet a larger/higher res screen! And definately VFD, nothing else can compare.

Friends Every time the SS web page refreshes (every 10 secs?), my ZoneAlarm privacy adviser pops up to say 'Privacy has blocked cookies'. Despite the apparent blocking, SS seems to be working OK. I've tried telling ZA to allow localhost (i.e. its IP address) to set cookies; I've tried doing the same for the SB's IP address. Nothing seems to put a stop to these every-ten-seconds popups. Yes, I could disable ZA. But turning off internet security does not seem like a very wise solution to a minor irritation. So what other URLs is SS using routinely to operate the web interface by setting cookies? If I knew, I could try telling ZA to ignore them.

I was briefly tempted to upgrade (I am currently running 6.2.2 on XP with three SB2s and an SB1). My reasoning being I wanted to acquire a Nokia 770 and have a new toy to play with. But when I saw all the problems people were having I re-considered as it appears that playlists are an issue and I particularly use a playlist to listen to DAB radio using DABBAR. So the priority had to be decided on why do I have this; it's to listen to music, if that breaks then what's the point (I do like a quiet life :) ). So I will patiently wait until all appears to be working reasonably ok and voodoo is not required to make the installation work ok. Perhaps then the new Nokia will be available!!

[slim] Re: what to use for CD storage?
I used leather bound binders that hold about 60 CDs and booklet. I found them at www.handstands.com (they are the Large CD/DVD Binders and you can add extra pages to them up to about 60 CDs before the binders start to bulge too much). CompUSA, Staples and Office Depot carry them in the stores or you can order online, which I had to do when I found that I needed 17 binders just to free my shelves of my classical CD collection alone. I guess that means I had about 1000 classical CDs. I divided up the collection by period of music (early music through modern) and put the binders on a bookshelf. They look pretty nice, kind of like photo binders or scrapbooks, about 1 1/2 inches wide with labels on which I printed the period of music stuffed inside. I had to bite the bullet and just throw out the plastic cases, even though some of the double and triple box sets had some nice graphics on the boxes that I pitched. I filled 6 large outdoor garbage bags with cases. They weighed a ton. I freed up 7 shelves of my CD wall shelves for my jazz and acoustic collection, which I listen much more frequently to these days. Still, I guess I need to stop collecting music. There is just too much plastic involved, taking up too much space! I bought some extra binders in case I think of other discrete music collections I can house in them instead of on the shelves--like Soundtracks, or 80's music, or Grunge, etc. -- sc53 sc53's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8690 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30440 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Ideas for Squeezebox 4
Maybe I'm out of touch, but I have a whole different set of priorities when thinking about what I'd like to see in a SB4. What I'd like to see is an emphasis on sound quality. Get rid of the display altogether and put it where it belongs, along with its power supply requirements, in the remote. Use the AKM DAC of the Transporter, and only put analog, coaxial and optical outs. Design a discrete analog section and end the debate about opamps altogether.It should go without saying that the expertise brought to bear on the design of the power supply for the Transporter should be replicated in a SB4. Thats all. I'd be willing to pay $1000 for this model as long as the audio quality matches, or exceeds, that of the Transporter.

[slim] ETA for 6.5.1?
I'm using SlimServer 6.5.0 on a Media PC, accessing it remotely from a Windows tablet with IE. This works pretty well, but I keep hitting one of the 6.5.0 bugs (IE fails to refresh now playing pane) regularly. I really don't want to switch to one of the daily drops of 6.5.1 if I don't have to, but I don't want to wait much longer either. Anyone know of an approximate ETA for 6.5.1?

[slim] Re: Ideas for Squeezebox 4
I have to agree with the display in the remote concept. But I'll do you one better: Leave the squeezebox pretty much the way it is (except for possibly better DRM support). Have your current remote (more or less). Also, have a fancy new remote that includes a display similar to the squeezeboex display. To make that work, of course, you need the remote to be a wireless-g/b remote talking to SlimServer. Now suddenly your remote can work without IR, the squeezebox can be in the closet with your audio gear, your remote can easily switch between controlling the many different squeezeboxes within your house and you've got a convenient one-stop shopping audio controller. The probelm is that nobody will want to stop there -- they'll want to turn the remote into a web browsing camera phone with a color touch screen which runs its batteries down every two hours. Sigh. But if you can avoid the bloat, you'll be able to sell the fancy remote for less than the cost of the squeezebox, and people will actually buy it. -- Tarn Tarn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7414 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30399 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: OT: dual core processors
Take a look at the tomshardware link above for starters. Intel's 'new' Core2Duo for the desktop is an awesome processor choice paired with the right motherboard. The 2.13Ghz you saw is an E6400 and due to the design of the CPU is outperforms processors well over 3Ghz. So, it's not so much that you are getting dual processors as it is you are getting radically new technology for the desktop that vastly outperforms existing components. AMD touted for a while that it's not about the clock speed and it bit Intel in the butt until now. -- notanatheist notanatheist's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30559 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Confusion: No FLAC or Ogg, just MP3 ??
I have searched the forums and not found answers to my two biggest questions (although I have seen one of the questions with no good answers): 1. I have a ton of FLAC stuff, a ton of MP3 stuff, and a fair amount of Ogg. All of these files are under a common root in a Linux ext3 file system (about 100G worth). I am running Slimserver 6.5 and serving the files to Squeezebox 3 and to a copy of Softsqueeze running on another Linux box. No iTunes, just a bunch of locally ripped music. Slimserver has been given ONE directory to look under, which is the parent of all of my music. It found ONLY the MP3 stuff. (A good bit of the FLAC and MP3 are dups with the same tags, because I keep 160k or 192k MP3 transcoded from the FLAC for my flash-based MP3 players. In these cases, I would of course prefer the Slimserver to serve up the FLAC to the Squeezebox). Slimserver found ONLY the MP3 stuff. None of the FLAC or Ogg is in the database. Nothing in the documentation or online seems to indicate why this would be the case. As mentioned above, in cases where there are lossy and lossless versions of the same track, I want Slimserver to stream the lossless file. 2. Second Question may be related to the first, and may also be a misunderstanding of the operation of the scanning process: When I use the web interface to rescan my music files, I don't see any indication of either progress or completion. The next day there are no new music files. Nothing in the /tmp/slimserver.log file seems to indicate that scanning is occuring. Any thoughts on either of these would be appreciated. I am only able to serve up about 100 of my 600 or so CD's at this point, and am really missing the others...

I've also been asking about an official 6.5.1 release date in the beta forum for quite some time; the replies have been mainly It will be ready when it's ready. I do think that 3 months for a third-level dot release is a little long; but more frustrating is the lack of information about what is holding up the release (other than what can be gleaned via Bugzilla) and what particular bugs they feel they must be fixed prior to release. Though there are differing opinions on the matter, I feel that getting a reasonable 6.5.1 out there sooner for reviewers and the general public to feel better about the product makes sense, following up with a 6.5.2 or whatever to finish up. -- mbonsack mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30595 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
