[slim] For the $2000 Transporter, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface?
Apologies if this subject has been chewed over in the past. I have looked around in the forums here but see mostly micro detail rather than the big picture. I am looking to move to PC-based audio and have been researching how best to do this. The Slim Devices Transporter seems to be a great product in many ways. For example, the absolute level of audio quality is important for me and the Transporter has reviewed very well in this respect. The device also offers great connectivity along with fine aesthetics which, compared to some of the other PC-based audio products around, is a real plus for those who care about their living room environment. But now to my question: For a $2000 device, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface? I have spent time downloading Slim Server software and have tried it out briefly with SoftSqueeze to see how it works. IMHO it seems more like something produced by an enthusiastic hobbyist rather than a leading exponent of cutting edge audiophile technology. To me, it is extremely clunky, slow and visually challenged to say the least. The fact that so many Slim fans have invested such amazing energy into developing plugins/addons/skins, etc, to address this deficit is testimony to this. I have also looked at the Sonos approach along with other media s/w offerings (e.g. iTunes, JRiver) and I am simply amazed at the differences. Having put such thought into the look and feel of the hardware and endowed the Transporter with so many outstanding features, it seems a real shame that the product is let down by such a primitive UI.

The stuttering isn't regular and appears fairly random. It could be only once every few hours for 30 seconds, or on and off for a period of a few hours. It isn't machine utilisation since during the last period of stuttering (stats below) it could almost no CPU usage on the machine. Is there any other info I can gather to try diagnose this?

Are you using the Web interface or the remote control? Softsqueeze does have an on-screen version of the remote. I agree that the interface isn't wonderful in either version, but I suspect you are using the Web browser, which is really best used only for initial settings. Skins are only relevant to this.

Re: [slim] For the $2000 Transporter, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface?
If you're serious enough about your audio quality to buy a Transporter it's unlikely you'll have a PC in your listening room, so you'll use the remote (especially considering the Transporter's dual screens). The remote and dual LCD screens are superb. The default web skin is really embarrasing and lets the Squeezebox down badly. Change it for Firefox Tan or the brand new Flash based and extremely promising SlimFX (download from plugin page I should think). I am certain that Logica will be currently addressing the default web interface issue. It's so obviously the weakest point of the whole thing it would be very odd if they weren't. Maybe the will take on/have taken on the SlimFX developer.

Many thanks for the comments. That's a very superficial analysis, but I agree that SD should work on a better stand alone front end app to satisfy people who want their software to look as good as their hardware. Perhaps my analysis is superficial but I stand by my main conclusion. It seems also that nobody else is really disagreeing with my basic point about the UI. Well, buy a Sonos then... The Sonos remote is nice, but the system is closed and inflexible and this probably won't improve any time soon. A matter of design philosophy. You make the choice... Do I detect a note of indignation? :) I appreciate that I am amongst the converted here :) Peter, yes, I fully agree that the Sonos approach is closed and much less flexible. But still, providing flexibility is no excuse IMHO for such a poor interface, particularly at this price level. Are you using the Web interface or the remote control? Softsqueeze does have an on-screen version of the remote. Yes, I have been focussing on the web interface but have tried the s/w remote briefly. The display on the Transporter itself is definitely well-thought out and looks good. This, no doubt, ensures good usability with the remote. The remote and dual LCD screens are superb. This is the proof, very encouraged to hear this ! It appears that the feedback on use of the remote is very positive.

More details on the nature of the problem. The issue of slimtray not releasing handles occurs in the versions of slimtray in 6.5.1 and latest nightly 6.5.2. It does not happen in 6.3. The problem happens on a clean system (i.e. only 3rd party s/w running was Acronis backup scheduler - no AV or other s/w) with a clean install of slimserver with no library and slimserver not running. As y360 noted - every 10 secs slimtray gets a handle for each process running on the PC but doesn't release them. Using the sysinternals handle tool - all the unreleased handles can be detailed and they are handles to processes. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32257 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I am using a Squeezebox2 and running SlimServer 6.5.1 on Windows, I've been using it succesfully (and before this, a SliMP3) for several years. Recently, the music has stopped. In the past when I've had problems like this, it seems to be down to network problems between the player and server, or excessive server load, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time. I can browse the library from the server or the player without any delay, I can select any song, album or artist, and add them to a playlist, the song details will appear on the player's Now Playing screen, but it never actually plays the song: the progress bar doesn't move along at all, the VU meter shows no sound being played, obviously I cannot hear anything being played, and if I leave it, it will show as playing the same song all day long without ever moving on to the next song in the playlist. I have checked that it's not paused, and I have restarted the server, but I can't think of anything else which could be causing this.

'Ur[s Wrote: uS;183111'] The test - I think - to see if unit is not Dead: unplug and plug in again. If you do, there is a splash screen that says Slim Devices and then Squeezebox 3. If this does not happen, I guess there is a different problem (with power socket, plug or SB3 unit). Sorry I cannot be more help. Thanks all. I have tried it with two different power supplies in two different outlets...nothing. One thought I had, and I did send this to slim support as well, is any chance it could just be the remote? Here's why I ask: I have been having a problem since 6.5.1 came out where the SB will not connect to SS without several restarts (pushing the power button multiple times, but you do get the connecting to ss line on the screen)..so, for some reason, SS will not 'wake up' the SB anyway. Bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3778 has the info, and I have commented it several times. Make sense what I'm thinking? SS wakeup doesn't work due to above bug, and now, remote doesn't work, so there's no way to start it up at all? That was just another thought, I have an RMA and am going to send it in anyway, but thought I would throw that out there.

Re: [slim] For the $2000 Transporter, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface?
The Transporter's main UI, the remote, is superb. Once you get the hang of it, you'll see how good it is. Don't forget that you can customize the menus and you can download plugins like Lazy search and song scanner. Now I never tried the SONOS's remote, but I wouldn't say its more polished. Its certainly slicker, flashier more aesthecially pleasing. One thing I like about it, though, is that you can see the album art while browsing your music collection. We are visual animals, after all. But I'm not sure its a better remote overall, though. I'm willing to bet that I can find a track faster with my Squeezebox's remote than with a SONOS remote. -- Nostromo Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] For the $2000 Transporter, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface?
To the OP, I say, Hear, hear! The web UI is not what it should be, and I trust Slim Devices or Streaming Media or whomever is making improvements. My situation is a little different than most. My SB3 is in the den with my stereo, where I do my serious listening, but it also feeds my whole-house audio system, so I do most of my listening away from the SB3 and thus use the web UI a great deal. It leaves a lot to be desired. SlimFX and Moose are on the right track in separating the control functions from the setup functions. I'd love a Sonos or Bose style remote that I could take anywhere in the house and have control over my system. Logitich, I hope, is working on that. The SB3 is a great little device, but there is definitely room for improvement in the UI. -- Kyle Kyle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2541 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] For the $2000 Transporter, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface?
clarkc;183072 Wrote: But now to my question: For a $2000 device, are Slim Devices serious about the user interface? I have spent time downloading Slim Server software and have tried it out briefly with SoftSqueeze to see how it works. IMHO it seems more like something produced by an enthusiastic hobbyist rather than a leading exponent of cutting edge audiophile technology. To me, it is extremely clunky, slow and visually challenged to say the least. The fact that so many Slim fans have invested such amazing energy into developing plugins/addons/skins, etc, to address this deficit is testimony to this. I have also looked at the Sonos approach along with other media s/w offerings (e.g. iTunes, JRiver) and I am simply amazed at the differences. Having put such thought into the look and feel of the hardware and endowed the Transporter with so many outstanding features, it seems a real shame that the product is let down by such a primitive UI. First, I'm a little amused at the thought that you expect an audiophile component to have a UI that's not clunky. It's been a long time since I read audiophile publications, but my impression has always been that the more highly regarded, and more expensive, audiophile gear tends to be very simple, minimalist even. If anything, to me the Transporter looks too fancy to be a real piece of audio gear! Second, I'm taken aback that you're putting so much weight on the UI of an audiophile product. If you're going to play 128k MP3 files, the Transporter is probably overkill, and you don't need audiophile gear. But if you want a quality digital transport that will bring out the best of your carefully ripped lossless tracks, there's no substitute for seeing how the actual gear *sounds* in your audio rack. Third, you should note that SoftSqueeze is a good piece of software for getting a general feel for how players work, and a wonderful app for those of us developing plugins for Slimserver, but it is much more clunky that the real hardware. The visualizer and display is somewhat jumpy, the app takes wads of CPU resources, etc. You should expect more smooth performance out of real Slim hardware. Fourth, I don't see the availability of plugins as evidence of flaws in Slim's offerings. I see this as a strength of Slim's business model. They provide first rate mid-range (Squeezebox) and high-end (Transporter) audio gear and, rather than lock users in to their preconceived UI notions like an ill-designed DVD, they leave the controlling software open to modification and extension by users. This means we customers can better make the gear work the way we like. I also find it amusing to see all the UI arguments in this forum -- people who want remotes with displays ala Sonos; people who want slick Ajax web GUIs; people who think the IR remote control is fine. One of the beauties of Slim's system is that all these ways of controlling the system are available (if only from third parties), so you cna use what you like. Get a Windows tablet/UMPC and run Moose if you want, or buy a PepperPad3 and use SlimFX, or use SailingClicker on your Windows Mobile PDA, or integrate with a whole-house Creston control system, or use the IR remote, or build (or convince someone to build) something better. (You'll find examples on these forums of customers asking for software and others providing that software -- for free.) Fifth, the server-based Slim architecture allows for easily upgrading the system capability. Not only that, but Slim has consistently released new versions of software that support *all their hardware*, back to the original SliMP3 players. Their business model is based on growth -- getting new customers and convincing existing customers to buy more gear -- rather than a planned obsolescence model. -Peter -- peterw peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Its a catch 22. If you want something thats easy then the design has to be simple enough for even those that don't understand how everything works to use it. Thats why the WaveRadio sells well. The problem is that a lot of people, who want superior performance, will not take the time to understand what it takes to achieve. Its like any subject. The more you find out about it, the more you realize there IS to find out about it. As clunky as it is, SlimServer gives you the flexibility to achieve superior results.

One thing I've always been surprised about is that the Slim approach is to be open; yet around the interface it's taken that the limited remote control and monochrome display is all one will want. I've built set top boxes which would be great integrating to Slim in a kiosk style with a lovely large screen TV. I'm not surprised, after all the Squeezebox/Transporter is probably how they make their money. Why provide a better UI for people so they can avoid buying their products? -- Smiley Dan Smiley Dan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5456 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] WPA WEP etc...
If you can convince my cable company to supply me faster access, please do! I sent them my college transcript and some glowing references from my coworkers, but so far no luck...

Re: [slim] Nokia N800 Remote
Ben did a fantastic job on the skin -- it looks really really sharp on the device. I can confirm that with the faster processor and more RAM, the N800 is even better for controlling the server. It's fast enough now that browsing by album art (for example) is as quick as it is on the PC. -- Victor I'm against animal testing. They get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

And what about somebody hacking your wifi and thus being part of your network and then download child pornography ? If discovered, they come to your door !!! That happened not far from my village. Just because they're on my network doesn't mean they can access my machines. They'd need a LAN ID to map a drive. Heck, I can't even map drives on some of the machines! As for downloading porn using me as a proxy, you can do the same thing at Starbucks. Do you think the Department of Justice is going after Starbucks and all of the tens of thousands of other wi-fi hotspots and tens of thousands of private unsecured networks? -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ~~~ SB3 (wired - 6.3.1) | Home-brew PC running XP Pro | DENON DRA-395 | PSB Stratus Bronze (2) | Outlaw Audio LFM-2 (1) | DIY Speaker Cables | Dayton Audio Interconnects jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32888 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Everything is running fine!!
I figured this forum could use a message like this. Please list slimserver specs and library specs if everything is fine for you! Device: Original SliMP3 Library: 3722 albums with 50888 songs by 1257 artists SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - RedHat - EN - utf8 Perl Version: 5.8.6 i386-linux-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.21-standard Athlon XP 1700+, 512M RAM, running Fedora Core 3 Music Storage is 4 * 250GB Hitachi SATA on a HighPoint 1640 RAID-5 Controller I play music all the time, and am currently enjoying Global Communication's lovely ambience. No stutters, *ever*. Using a netgear wge111 to talk 802.11g over WPA to a linksys wrt54G that the server is wired to. The MySQL 5.x work with SlimServer 6.5 has made a huge difference from the SQlite days, and obviously light years from the 5.x stuff. Kudos, slim team and thanks! I wish my device would break so I had an excuse to get a sb3 (or whatever's next!) -- herbman herbman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6170 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33076 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
