[slim] Library corrupted if NAS switched off
Hi, We've been having problems with tracks in the library disappearing, and I think we've traced it to a problem that occurs if we forget to switch on our NAS (where the music files live). Briefly: If we try to play an album and the NAS is switched off, it fails to play as you'd expect. Then we switch the NAS on, and we search for the album again and it appears. Then we press play, and the first track only plays. If we look at the library, we find 3 entries for the album (instead of one) and none of the entries has more than one track. Even if we restart the server, the database seems screwed. The only way we can fix it is to rescan the entire library from scratch. Surely if the NAS is switched off, it shoudn't do anything to the music library? --- SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Server IP address: 192.168.0.2 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt -- andy b andy b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1934 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Audioengine 5 Query
I've just received an pair of Audioengine 5 speakers in the UK (purchased from Ecodigital) I'm very happy with the appearance and sound quality when playing but I have a niggling issue in that the speaker housing the amplifier emits a faint buzzing sound which is noticeable when between tracks or when not listening to anything. The buzzing is not affected by the volume control on the speakers and doesn't seem to be coming from the driver units, more like it's coming from the amplifier circuit. It is also the same whether a squeezebox or iPod is plugged in (or nothing plugged in at all).I can hear it from my desk about 6' away so it's an annoyance when not listening. Has anyone else heard this, is it likely to be a faulty unit or some kind of environmental issue? It's a full UK unit btw and was supplied with a UK plug and preset to 240v. I've mailed Audioengine to get their thoughts but thought I would see if anyone had experienced similar.

[slim] Playback issue: starts w/ 1st song even if I select 5th song

From the remote, I selected ArtistAlbumScroll to 5th SongPlayand the Squeezebox started playing from the 1st song. I tested this with 5 or 6 different albums and got the same result. In contrast, if I select the song from the web interface (which is not my preference, given that my p.c. and the squeezebox are in rooms on different floors in my home), the selected song plays fine. I'm attaching a d_source debub report. I tried to play a song called Sol Topado, the 8th song in an album. Instead, what played was the first song in in the album, Marching the Hate Machines.

Re: [slim] Audioengine 5 Query
The amplifier in your speakers is generating mechanical noise because the transformer inside the amp is vibrating from the electricity and the vibrations have not been properly dampened. A line conditioner won't help because it is coming from the amp, not the current. That is why you hear it at any volume setting. It is more noticeable of course when your room environment is quiet. It is constantly there even when music is playing so it is affecting the quality of the music too. Audible mechanical noise is a general indication that the speaker is not the best quality. A good quality powered or active speaker won't have this noise. I don't understand why I have seen several posts about these particular speakers. You won't find them at a musical instrument store that caters to professional audio engineers. There are plenty of very good quality powered or active speakers on the market. Go to a large musical equipment store, like Guitar Center, or online at Musicians Friend, Zzounds, Sam Ash, American Musical Supply and Sweetwater. Search for powered or active speakers and reference monitors or near field montors. Smaller powered or active speakers are in the category of reference monitors or near field monitors and they are used by audio engineers to mix down sound tracks. You can't get better than that. Larger powered or active speakers (10 inch woofer and higher) are in the category of public address or PA speakers. The speakers at the retailers I mentioned are not the powered multimedia computer speakers you find at your big box outlets like Best Buy. I am talking about speakers used by audio professionals who demand the best. Engineers don't get caught up with hype. They use their speakers to make a living. They want the best quality, and quality requires quiet speakers. -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34976 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You may actually be *too close* to the router.

I, too, am a bit skeptical of speakers marketed to the Ipod crowd, but I've heard too many good things about these speakers to dismiss them out of hand. Historically, you're right that pro connections tend to indicate better equipment, but there's no reason to jump to the conclusion that because it has consumer-grade connections it's crap. Why couldn't a company build a great, pro-grade monitor then stick a mini-stereo connector on it for convenience and to sell more units? In the same price range I'm probably more prone to pick up a pair of Behringer Truth B2031A's (a LOT of speaker for the money) or perhaps some Yorkville YSM1P's but these don't fit into every decor or situation. And besides, I've heard plenty of pro powered monitors that sounded lousy (low-end stuff from edirol, tannoy and roland, for instance).

Re: [slim] Audioengine 5 Query
Thanks for the replies so far. I went for the Audioengines as this they are for an additional Squeezebox in an office room where I wanted something compact that would sound reasonable and I have seen some very positive reviews of them. I don't expect them to be as good as my main Squeezebox setup which features a Mission Cyrus 2 + PSX and Quad 11L2 speakers. I too was slightly dissapointed when I discovered they only featured a 1/8 jack input and I would rather they also had phono plugs so save using an adaptor to atatch the squeezebox. I am happy with the sound quality for the price but one thing I can't stand is any kind of hum so it looks like I'll be contacting the retailer tomorrow so see if they are prepared to swap them or offer a refund. Thanks Kyle for the feedback, it's good to hear they don't all do this and the noise is distinct from the hiss heard with the volume at max.

For those audiophiles who want the cleanest sound possible when connecting to powered speakers, I found a little product that balances the signal when converting from rca to XLR.

I tried to organize them so they made a bit more sense with User and Developer parent forum groups. I also grouped the User forums together in a way that made a bit more sense to me.

Re: [slim] Radiotime and Realaudio
Most of AlienBBC is to do with parsing BBC web site to get urls for programs and streams. This is not relevant to RadioTime. AlienBBC also sets up handlers for RTSP (realaudio) URLS and rm, rpm and ram extensions. If radiotime delivers an URL in the correct format - slimserver will run it. I think RadioTime may mean FM/AM through a radio card in the PC when it refers to real fm/am.

Re: [slim] Wireless network strength?
The two transmitters are probably within each others' near field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field). Typically, wireless devices are made to be operated in their far field. When they come really close, they behave quite differently. As a rule of thumb, transmitting radio antennas should be separated from each other by at least a couple of wavelengths.

[slim] New SB3 owner - End of songs chopped off
Hello all. Just had my SB3 for a day and things aren't 100% yet. Windows XP on Dell laptop, CDs ripped with iTunes to Apple lossless, approx 100G of music stored on a network drive, laptop and SB3 wireless. Here's the problem. I can see my music files, select files to play with Slimserver, and play them. However, all songs stop approximately 15 to 25 seconds from the end and the next song starts immediately. Nothing wrong with the music files since they play completely in iTunes. Any ideas on what is going on and how to fix the problem?

Re: [slim] New SB3 owner - End of songs chopped off
It's a known bug that, unfortunately, Slim has been slow in fixing. It's been happening for over 6 months now. Current nightly releases (versions beyond the stable production release) still exhibit the behavior. This bug drove me to convert my library to FLAC. But it is not an option for everyone. It makes library management a little more manual than iTunes. Say what you will about Apple, they know how to make an interface that anyone can use. You can file a comment on the bugzilla report.

[slim] SlimServer Skipping and other related issues.
Hi, I've tried installing SlimServer multiple times, but I'm constantly getting weird skipping issues. Songs on the now playing window finish in much less time than it would actually take to listen to the songs, songs that haven't even been played according to the Now playing section are being streamed, songs skip, etc...

I've tried this on multiple machines (Windows XP, Windows XP via VMWare, Windows Home Server 2003) and with multiple versions ranging, the latest version being the 2007-05-03 6.5 nightly.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio over PPP
I got it working: I am now streaming SqueezeNetwork material, such as Live365 to my SB3, over my PPP connection to the web. It works like this: My connection to the web is via an EvDO cell phone modem, (I have an unlimited data plan:) The modem is attached to my Win2K machine, connected to www.squeezenetwork.com. I have this wired to an access point, (my SB3 is wireless.) The trick is to not allow the Squeezebox to attach to the access point using DHCP. The reason for this is that doing so sets the SB3's default gateway to the access point! Obviously, that won't work when running PPP as there is nothing connected to the WAN port on the access point! The SB3 needs to have its default gateway set to the IP address of the machine that is hosting the PPP adapter! So, setting up networking manually on the SB3, rather than letting DHCP do it fixed everything. I also have internet connection sharing turned on for the PPP adapter on the Win2K platform. -Ron -- Ron F.

[slim] Command line option for controling playback
Hi,
I've got Softsqueeze playing music from my slimserver and want to be
able to have basic playback control using a lirc-compatible remote. My
plan was to use irexec to execute commands (/bin/sh equivalent). I was
imagining something in the style of either:
$slimserver -playerid -{next,previous,play,pause,vol_up,vol_down)
or
$softsqueeze -{next,previous,play,pause,vol_up,vol_down)
Had a look at the CLI interface but I don't see how to do this as this
requires logging into the slimserver.
Though my setup is linux based, I posted here since what I'm looking
for should be possible using cmd.exe in Windows.
Thanks for any advice.
