Re: [slim] Slimserver 6.5.1 Problem: Songs Cut Off

2007-03-10 Thread gutted

Wow - you guys are lucky as hell.

I just checked description for bug ID 4354, and the notes suggest that
this problem happens for maybe 1 in 100 songs.  Or even 1 in 50.

Are you kidding me???  This is happening to -*virtually every song-* on
my system!  That's the reason I posted immediately after upgrading to
6.5.1

Is anyone else getting this problem to the same degree as me?  If so,
it's got to be worth logging on to bugzilla and adding your vote to the
bug.  So far it only seems to have 4 votes (5 including mine).  I don't
know how much difference it makes (if any) but voting for it has got to
be better than not (?)

Example - in the last 5 songs I've just played, 4 of them had the end
cropped.  If I can stick with 6.5.1, I'm very lucky if one in 10 songs
is NOT cropped.

You are correct, his is similar to mine but in my case SlimServer keeps
going into PAUSE mode whereas his stops.

I also posted this on the Infrant forum, submitted it to SlimDevices

Re: [slim] Slimserver won't start automatically

2007-03-10 Thread Brian Ritchie

Recently, I found that SS was no longer starting automatically on
startup. I also got a some service crashing message (with typical
Windows vagueness). The second time I got the message, I opted to send
the details to Microsoft, expecting the usual silent result. Instead, I
was taken to an MS web page that said that some people were having
trouble launching certain kinds of services following the most recent
XP security update. The page offered a patch, which I installed.  On
the second reboot (yes, this is Microsoft, remember) all was well
again.

Sorry that I can't be more specific about the details, but it was a
couple of weeks ago and I didn't take notes.

I am having the same cut outs on every song, I have tried a fresh 6.5.2
installation but the same problem persists

Running win XP with 2x SB3 and a Transporter playing wma lossless and

It is an extremely annoying bug, I had previously replaced a

have been very pleased with Slim Devices products up to this and I hope
the problem will be sorted soon.

 I was looking at these types of services to be able to have an online
 backup, but I decided that for the amount of data I have that it is
 impractical.  For me, the bottleneck is the upload bandwidth to get the
 data out there in the first place.  My flac library is not huge, around
 85 GB, but my ISP limits upload bandwidth to 384 kbps, or 768 kbps if I
 pay an additional $10 per month.

 85 GB ~= 9 x 10^10 bytes ~= 7 X 10^11 bits
 384 kbps ~= 4 x 10^5 bits/sec

 85 GB / 384 kbps ~= 2 x 10^6 sec ~= 23 days

 Even at double the bandwidth, it would take over 10 days, assuming that
 I was able to get the maximum bandwidth, that it never timed out, got
 interrupted, encountered errors, etc.

 To be honest, I have the storage space out there already, and I tested
 uploading 1 album's worth of flac files.  It took so long that I
 decided not to continue.  Now, if I had physical access to the server
 and could seed it with the 85 GB by connecting a USB drive, I might
 consider doing incremental uploads from there.  However, even that is
 pretty impractical unless you have much better upload bandwidth.
   

I have 1024 Kbit upstream (20 Mbit down) and I backup my (100 G+) files 
to a colo server (which I seeded first) and I can confirm that
 even with incremental backups you have to be careful not to add too 
much music at once. I like my backups to be finished by the time I wake up.

FLAC is the preferred lossless compressed format for the SB and

required.

Out of the box SlimServer supports any format you see on Server

I'm not entirely sure whether I've understood what you're seeing, but I
believe it's working as configured. The word 'The' is in the list of
words to be ignored at the start of the names. 

In the 'Behavior settings' (sic), there is a section as follows :

--
ARTICLES TO IGNORE WHEN SORTING
A list of articles (the, les, los, etc.) to ignore at the
beginning of artist, song or album names when sorting. Separate
multiple articles by spaces or leave this list blank to disable this
behavior. Changing this setting will start a rescan of your music
library.
--

On the system here, I've got it set to 'The El La Los Las Le Les' which
means that anything starting with any of those words will be sorted as
if the word wasn't there.

To take an example, 'The Moody Blues' is under 'M', not 'T'. If 'The'
was not in the list above then the artist would be sorted into the 'T'
section. The result of this would be 50 million artists all sorted into
'T'. And more confusion, on my part, because I'd never be quite sure
whether 'Village People' was under 'Village People' or 'The Village
People'. With 'The' ignored, it's simple - they're under 'V' whether
the word is on the front or not. ('Village People' selected purely
because I always say 'YMCA by The Village People', rather than 'YMCA by
Village People', 'cos that just sounds silly).

In my collection here, with 'The' in the above list, I can scroll
through the 'S' section and see entries in this order :

..., 'Seafood', 'The Seahorses', 'Seal', ...

I hope that answers your question a little bit - I think it's just
confusion about that particular setting. Remove the word from the
configured list if you think 'The' is an important qualifier on a name.

Re: [slim] Multiple servers - changing player to new server FROM the server?

2007-03-10 Thread Mark Lanctot

No.  What you see when you press and hold left on the remote is the
player's firmware interface.  It's one of the few things that the
player can do on its own, without a server of any kind.

SlimServer doesn't have access to the player's firmware at this level.

jimwillsher;186872 Wrote: 
 If not...would this be a viable suggestion for 7.0 ?

I can't speak for the developers, but given the extensive change
requested (SlimServer access to the player firmware functions) and the
rarity of the issue (yours is the first I have seen) I'd doubt it.

Firmware-level access might make a few other nice things possible, like
going through network setup from SlimServer, including wireless
encryption passphrases.  As I said, I'm not a developer, but it does
not sound easy at all.

I have a Philps SRU9600 universal remote control. A very nice device,
but I can't get it working with my SB3.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

I haven't played around with the Nokia770 skin, but all the commands
available to SlimServer are available to it, so it's possible but it
depends if the developer (Ben Klass) implemented it.

 As an aside I program web apps in Java. Is there some introductory info 
 for potential contributors to the open source elements ?

Here's a good starting point:

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?DeveloperGuide

Most of the work is in perl.  But a prime Java example is SoftSqueeze,
which you can run by going to SlimServer Help - SoftSqueeze.

 ie how the Nokia skin was written which language etc ?
 

AJAX.

Any particular reasons that you're moving away from iTunes?  I have

Re: [slim] Nokia 770 or other handheld to controll slimserver

2007-03-10 Thread bklaas

Mark has all points covered, just wanted to add that the functions you
asked about, powering on/off, synching, are all available using the
Nokia770 skin.

The skin itself is a modern browser-based application:
HTML/CSS/Javascript/AJAX. It's built using Perl's Template Toolkit,
which is the heart of how skins are put together for interfacing with
slimserver. Documentation here:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SkinDevelopment

The other option is to build a standalone app that communicates with
slimserver through either http or it's CLI. There are several existing
projects that do this, softsqueeze (java), moose (.NET), slimFX (flash)
to name a few. This route may appeal to you if you are comfy in
javaland.

One side note: java does not exist on the Nokia 770 or the newer model
the N800 (which I hear is a big improvement).

cheers,
#!/ben

Re: [slim] Radio Stations Playing but Music Files Arn't

2007-03-10 Thread Mark Lanctot

I believe in some other threads this happened when you played Internet
radio, then went back to your local collection.

I wish I could find those threads.  I can't, but IIRC a workaround was
to reboot the player by pressing and holding the power button on the
remote.

Now THAT I can't help you with.  We may want to think along the same
lines though - what I suggested for the SB worked because Slim Devices
shares IR codes with JVC DVD players.  It may be the same case here -
small manufacturers may implement their own IR codes, but it makes more
sense to borrow a larger manufacturer's codes because they are more
widely supported with universal remotes.

Otherwise, most universal remotes have a learning function.

Re: [slim] Radio Stations Playing but Music Files Arn't

Hi Mark,

Thanks again for responding.

My 2 players have been hard booted, soft booted, cuddle booted and
whispered to in to in tounges by sultry maidens (at great personal
expence..) 

I've tried rebooting the PC then playing files or playing the files
then rebooting the PC Still no luck. I think (though you can never be
quite certain) that I've tried every combination of file / radio/
reboot / non boot / tickle stick play now.

Any other ideas or boot file combinations? I'll send champagne or beer
tokens whichever you prefer..

Cheers

Yep, I guess Krell also uses a 'standard' code set of another brand, I
only don't know which.
I already sent an email to Krell customer support but haven't got an
answer yet.
I tried the learning function but without success. Well, that says more
about me then about the remote because I also tried the learning
function for the SB3 and that also didn't work. I'm therefore very glad
you could suggest this JVC code set!

LOL!

I was going to suggest a factory reset (unplug the power, press and
hold ADD and replug the power) but your log is indicating SlimServer is
having trouble transcoding.  The process isn't working or isn't allowing
SlimServer to control it.

I think there were some changes recently regarding which decoder to use
for decoding AAC or Apple Lossless files.  Unfortunately I believe it
was pre-6.5.1, so you should have it.  Still, at this point, it
wouldn't hurt to try the latest nightly - what have you got to lose?

Re: [slim] Radio Stations Playing but Music Files Arn't

2007-03-10 Thread Tristan

Hmm, vexing isn't it. Worth a try though..

I downloaded the new version but it woudn't start. It said it was
starting but it just never did. Maybe there is a clue in that or maybe
there isn't

I uninstalled it. Rebooted the old PC and reinstalled your currrent
6.5. For some reason it decided it didnt like where my music files were
located and chose a directory that my music was not in. 

So.. I moved my music to that directory (as I hadn't tried that one
yet) but it didn't work.

Radio is fine. FLAC recorded files are fine. Old files just still wont
play.

Next and a prize for the wittiest. 

Cheers Mark.

Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista

2007-03-10 Thread tokyosexwhale

Just installed Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Had a bit of a problem at
first but managed to get it sorted out in the end.

SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Windows Vista - EN - cp1252

Here's what I did:

Installed Slimserver 6.5.1, at first it wouldn't load in Vista.
Went to control panel and had a look at the settings on the Windows
Firewall. Made sure 'Slim Devices' was in the exceptions list.

Went through setting up my networking again on the 'Squeezebox' When I
installed Vista I'd changed the name of 'my computer' from what I had
on XP so the Squeezebox had to re-find everything.

Now everythings up and running:) Not sure what'll happen when I shut
down and restart.


Personally I don't think the problem is with Vista's firewall, I just
think the Squeezebox network needs setting up again one step at a time
very carefully. 

Hope you all get it up and running because it is very annoying:)

Shouldn't the transcoding feature support AAC Plus?

 I have 1024 Kbit upstream (20 Mbit down) and I backup my (100 G+) files

 even with incremental backups you have to be careful not to add too 
 much music at once. I like my backups to be finished by the time I wake
 up.

 I am quite interested in this type of service. I have about 250Gb of
 FLAC files. How much would it cost to backup this data? How easy is it
 to setup? Once setup, can you opt to just backup new or amended files?
   

That all depends. Surf the web for colo sites or even real or virtual 
servers you can rent.

I happened to have a spare 1U server that I fitted with an extra 300 GB 
disk for my backups. I pay 20 EURO's a month for rackspace at a company 
near my place of work. Maximum data transfer 30G/mo (occasional 
overdrafts are allowed).

Setup of a Linux box with rsnapshot is not that difficult, but that 
depends on you mostly.  Of course you just backup changed files. My 
system keeps 7 weeks worth of backup snapshots (I can recover files for 
any day for the last 7 days or any week for the last 7 weeks). Running 
Linux on your media server is probably a requirement too. Then again if 
you want real flexibility and power you're mostly stuck with Linux/Unix 
anyway.

Peter

 S3 is great as an offsite backup, but if you are thinking of doing
 something like streaming music from it, you'll pay a fortune in
 bandwidth costs.  There are other services designed for this such as
 mp3tunes.

Perhaps Slimdevices/Logitech should consider offering something like
this for music files as a optional paid service for their customers. 

SD customers could backup their files to SD servers, with the added
advantage of being able to link it throught their SqueezeNetwork
accounts for streaming that could scale according to available
bandwidth. e.g. like mp3tunes but with a focus on backup for
audiophiles.
