Re: [slim] Squeezebox Desires
Audio Hijack is a nice program, but it doesn't really do what you want. the same people have a program called Nicecast that takes sound and broadcasts it, and the Squeezebox can then pick up this sound. Trouble is that the it takes enough time for Nicecast to process the sound that you probably would have the audio too much out of synch with the video for this approach to be good. Still, you could download Nicecast free and try it out - until you pay it degrades the sound after about fifteen minutes. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34785 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Playing 24/48
Are you streaming WAV or FLAC (i.e. is Slimserver or the Squeezebox doing the transcoding)? I've got an outstanding bug where 24/48 FLACs play fine when transcoded by my SB2, but white noise when done by the server. I prefer to have decoding done server-side as IMO it sounds marginally better. -- Rangdo Gronda Gronda Rangdo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5238 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34783 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
I think I've got a similar problem since yesterday. After a Rescan I'm missing 317 (!) Artists out of 951 in my database. A Wipe and Rescan increased the number of Artists up to 837. Because of the still missing Artists I rescanned again and got again a number of 634 Artists! Only the album browse menu still shows: "695 discs with 8669 Songs by 951 Artists". The result is disappointing: I'm no longer able to search for a huge number of songs "by artist". And for sure: My harddisk of course contents these 951 Artists! Anybody there with an idea what to do?

Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
Yes, it is repeatable in the sense that these are not the only artists for which the problem shows up. But it does not happen for every artist with more than one album. Quickly looking through some folders, I found more examples: Les Negresses Vertes Famille Nombreuse (shown) Mlah (not shown) Manu Chao Clandestino (shown) Proxima Estacion Esperanza (shown) Radio Bemba Sound System (not shown) I understand the problem with different encodings, but as you can see above and from earlier examples, it's not really the names that do have non-ascii characters that don't show up, so I don't really think this is the problem. And furthermore, if it were an encoding problem, I guess I shouldn't be able to find the albums through search. To me, it seems as though SS finds the files and knows to which artists/albums they belong, but that there is a problem in the "display by artist"-codde. This worked on 6.5.1 on Windows. It's when I switched to Ubuntu and then got 6.5.2 through apt that the problem showed up. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Looking at improving multi-player synchronization
For what it's worth, here is my experience with synchronization. In general, things actually work very very well. I do have two problems, however: 1) The current sync implementation breaks gapless playback and inserts a very audible gap between consecutive tracks. I understand (and agree) that the best time to resync players is between tracks, but there has got to be a way to insert only as much "gap" as is required to get the players back in sync. In many cases, this gap would be so small as to be unnoticeable. 2) Syncing between SB3 and Transporter doesn't work with native Ogg playback, so I have to transcode to FLAC. Not a big deal in itself (and an easy enough workaround), but this may indicate a problem in how the basic sync process currently works, because the sync logic in this case doesn't maintain a lack of delay between players, it merely maintains a constant and unvarying delay. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34133 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Looking at improving multi-player synchronization
I'm synching two players, and I'd like to adjust the time delay between them to minimize echo. Is there some way like a plugin or hidden player setting to do this? I'm currently synching an SB3 and a computer running SoftSqueeze 3.3. All files are lossless (flac), and I have high-quality digital converters in each room (UA 2192 and RME HDSP). SoftSqueeze has a configurable buffer size for the audio output, but it needs to be quite large (>1.5s), so there's a lot of delay. Btw, audio travels a little over a foot every ms (1.12'/ms), so a 90' separation will be about 80ms, the time where delays start to become perceived as distinct echos (as opposed to doubling or thickening). Delays under about 80ms are micenuts as someone mentioned above, and delays under about 20ms are knatscocks. -- pbjbryan pbjbryan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3034 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34133 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Look for a .prefs file in Slimserver's server directory. I *think* it's called slimserver.prefs. I tried this just last night. 1. Installed SlimServer on a brand new machine. 2. Stopped SlimServer on the new machine. 3. Copied the .prefs file and the plugins directory from my previous SlimServer installation on an old machine to the new machine. 4. Restarted SlimServer on the new machine. It came up with all my old preferences. Saved me a lot of time. In this case, the SlimServer version on both the old and new machines was identical. I would imagine there *could* be *some* wrinkles if one moved .prefs and/or plugins between different SlimServer versions. -- byKnight Really, it was like that when I got here. byKnight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7011 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34774 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
Is it repeatable for all artists, or is it just albums for these two artists that have the problem ? The swedish character ö could cause problems if the character encodings settings doesn't match everywhere, it still looks strange that the album would disappear though. However, since "Jacques Brel" had the same problem I suspect this isn't the problem. Did you use a previous SlimServer version before where it worked correctly ? I have no problem listing several albums for an artist in the Artists menu.

Re: [slim] Songs found through Search but not through Browse
Am I really the only one being hit by this? It sure seems like a pretty bad bug to me. I have done some more experimenting. First of all, I have made sure that all mp3-tags are ID3v2.3, saved in iso-8859-1. I have also toggled all possible settings regarding the grouping of songs in compilation albums, although I don't think this problem has anything to do with that. Now I have limited my collection to four files, two mp3-files and two flac-files. The mp3-files belong to two different albums by David Sandström, the flac-files belong to two different albums by Jacques Brel. After a wipe and rescan, SS reports "Your music library contains 4 albums with 4 songs by 2 artists." So far so good. If I brows by album (Browse -> Album in the web interface) I see all four albums. The same if I browse by Artists, and then select All Albums. BUT: when I browse by Artists, and then select either one of the two artists, only one album each is listed, although it should be two for each artist. So, to recapitulate: SS is well aware of there being four albums, I can reach them through browsing on albums, or through searching, but if I go through the individual artist, only one album is displayed. This is still SS 6.5.2 on Kubuntu, upgraded through apt-get this evening. -- strindberg strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34693 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeFox - Slimserver extension for Firefox
Works great in 2.0.0.3 on Linux for me. Great work! Some feature wishes follows: Maybe it would be a good idea to make it possible to also open the songinfo page for the currently playing song besides open up SlimServer it self ? The volume slider is completely useless to me since I use the volume control on the reciever to change the volume. Would it be possible to add an option to hide the volume slider since it uses unneccesary screen space now ? It would also be great if it could display the currently playing song somewhere, if this is possible. It probably takes up to much screen space to show it always, but maybe it could be shown a few seconds after a new track starts to play ? And now when I am wishing, it would be great if it was possible to change the rating for the currently playing song. There is a CLI interface in the TrackStat plugin that makes this possible. TrackStat needs to be installed though. Is it possible to show other things than text in the tooltips ?

I don't know about your 700AP. But it appears it may have some router capabilities. You don't want that for a second access point. I use a router as a second access point. The trick is to turn off DHCP, and then to connect NOTHING to the WAN port. You connect an ether cable from one of the lan ports on the router to one of the lan ports on the WAP. It then operates as a switch, and at the IP level its completely invisible. Of course, you need to configure its Wireless. To do this, you need to assign it a lan ip address other then the router's and outside the router's DHCP range. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34735 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It's technically possible but will be awkward and not terribly cheap. You'll have to set up an Ad-hoc connection to the SB and bridge the port so it'll be a very specific setup that will only connect to your single computer--you won't be able to easily and freely associate any arbitrary wireless device with the SB.

Re: [slim] Debugging help re Vista m4a issue, please
I wrote the instructions for a 6.5.x installation and wasn't clear about renaming mplayerrc1.exe but by the time Matt got around to it he had downgraded to 6.3.1 and then tried to make the 6.5.x solution work with 6.3.x and ended up with a hybrid.

Re: [slim] Firmware update each time I switch from SlimServer to SqueezeNetwork
All, problem has been fixed with SS ver 6.5.2 and related Squeeze FW 81. For the moment I would stay with that. Hope the 6.5.2 will come out as an official release soon, I don't like to go with BETAs... Anyway I bought this new toy yesterday and.. HEY I'm so happy with that!

Well you are making my point exactly. I would not know how to do neither 1 or 2 unless I use few hours digging in these forums to see what other people suggests or look into the directories myself to find out where those files are. Why not then just make it a "sticky" note at the top of this forum with precise instructions on what to do? Just one place. An official note.

Re: [slim] Can't play my itunes files :-( ......and it's driving me mad. Please help!!
It's good to get a summary of what worked for you. >From 6.5.1 a change in Slimserver makes use of socketwrapper for formats that needs transcoding such as m4a. However some security s/w stops the distributed socketwrapper from working (usually they think it is a Trojan app) - this may be the case on your system. What security/Antivirus/Firewall s/w have you installed. It is hoped to change the distribution to use the new socketwrapper when it is shown to work in most, if not all cases - so understanding your system configuration is important to use a test case. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34754 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Firmware update each time I switch from SlimServer to SqueezeNetwork
But, as pointed out before in this thread and others, there is no need for a full install of nightly 6.5.2. It is only necessary to either: 1) update the firmware via SqueezeNetwork and adjust the version file manually, or 2) grab the firmware & version file from the latest nightly upload. The latest version of the firmware works OK with 6.5.1 There is no need to install a "beta" release of 6.5.2.

[slim] Squeezebox keeps disconneting
Gentlemen, I'm having a problem with my squeezebox in here. From time to time my squeezebox disconnects from the slimserver. Symptoms are generally: - reset current stream, what means that it starts playing the MP3, or CUE defined track from point 0. - dark screen (means invisible to server with no display active) - no ping to squeezebox from server machine (windows xp sp2). The quick workaround seems to be pinging the SB3! (weird) My current setup is running WPA2 AES, static IPs for both SB3 and XP, access point is a Billion 7404VGO WiFI/VOIP/ADSL2+ Router and Squeezebox firmware is version 81.

As far as I know our problem here is "just" that you need to install a beta release to get out of the upgrade/downgrade vicious circle when switching between slimserver and squeezenetworks. If this process then leads to firmware chrashes it only makes it even worst :-( With regard to the other comment few posts before "why I wouldn't want all the other fixes" my answer is: yes, I would like as may fixes as possible that "have had the time to be stabilized". Obviously bug fixes and new features that were checked in yesterday and came in in the night build have not been stabilized yet (read, many beta testers running the last build and reporting new bugs... because - yes - new features and bug corrections CAN introduce new bugs! That's the difference between a beta version and a final release). Having said that, I fuly agree that slimserver's beta are better than many other software final releases. -- Aguida Aguida's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9285 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34705 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't play my itunes files :-( ......and it's driving me mad. Please help!!
So just to recap - this seems a popular fault. 1) The Slimserver software worked fine and controlled the SB3. 2) The ordinary MP3 music files played. 3) The Apple files (m4a) did not play - instead the display would lock and not do anything with the song stuck at 0.00 time. The actions I took were: 1) Installed latest version of SS - 6.5.2 - NO CHANGE APPARANT. 2) Tried to check all 3 AAC file format boxes in SS client file types settings which caused errors... 3) ...so I installed LAME decoder. - NO CHANGE APPARANT. 4) Deleted socketwrapper.exe and replaced it with the larger socketwrapper file offered to me here. - Now the music would play with apple tracks but only if you left it for about 10 minutes between tracks. 5) I then noted that if I use the SS remote handset it was working perfectly with no delay. This must have been the socketwrapper change because it didn't work before like that. 6) I then rebooted the machine and it works perfectly from either the web interface or the player. I'm really sorry I can't just say exactly what I did to fix it so I thought this process might be constructive if you are having a similar fault.
