often can't connect to slimserver (75% signal). So now I'm thinking it's a problem with the SB3. Any ideas? A factory reset? Unplug your SB3, press and hold ADD while powering up.

Re: [slim] Slimserver on Microsoft Windows Home Server OS?
I am not really sure what Microsoft are upto with WHS. The current version is built on Windows 2003 Server which is almost at the end of its life. The setup and general operation is straight from Small Business Server (SBS) with a some additional customisation. I would think that this product would suit a Longhorn Core implementation much better.

+1 for everything said so far. However, in my experience, this is also a function of the included remote. I have mapped my NAD remote to control SB too (initially, for pure convenience) and have noticed that SB reacts much better to it, than to its original remote. At first, though it was about batteries, changed them and still, NAD remote with a year old batteries gets better responiveness than the original one with brand new batts.

Re: [slim] SLIMP3 direct into speakers advice?
Totally kill the sound quality? Not in my opinion. YMMV. Certainly if the speakers have RCA inputs then use those, but a lot of them just have the 1/8 mini. If it's important to you, that's one of the criteria that can help you pare down your choices. I think the Aego M has RCA inputs, but it looks like the highly-praised Audioengine 5 only has the 1/8 mini input (though I could be wrong about that). BTW, some other active monitors that have gotten good mention are Edirol and Swan.

Re: [slim] Fast forward/Rewind
Let's keep some things clear so the issue doesn't get lost or misdirected. Remote reception and strength is certainly a concern or source of potential issue from one product to the next and can be affected by a large number of variables. One handset in comparison to another for starters can use different amounts of power to their IR LEDs, a different number of LEDs, better filtered LEDs, etc. The issue being discussed right now isn't about remote problems but a problem that as users we perceive with the current implementation of FFWD and REW. We're not talking about a bug or transient issue, but the fundamental design difference between the SB and any normal CD player (and many/most other DAPs) with regards to forwarding and rewinding. The current implementation while in playback mode (only tested with MP3 files): Short press FFWD = skip to next track Short press REW (1) = skip to start of track if elapsed track time certain offset Short press REW (2) = skip to previous track if elapsed track time certain offset Long press FFWD = activates an automatic 2x fast-forward mode (releasing the button leaves the player in this mode) Long press REW = activates an automatic 2x fast-rewind mode (releasing the button leaves the player in this mode) The 2x auto ffwd/rew sounds choppy and jumpy. You must be viewing the two smaller Now Playing modes to know what's going on. There's no FFWD/REW indicator when viewing in large font (this is also a big problem) Repeating the long-press will switch over to 4x then 8x, 16x and 32x modes. This is working similar to the FFWD and REW buttons on most DVD players. Expected behavior is that of a CD player: Short presses = same as they are now, they're correct. Long press FFWD = playback increases rate to some fixed x and less choppiness should be present in the audio Long press REW = playback increases reverse rate to some fixed x and less choppiness should be present in the audio In both cases, releasing the FFWD/REW buttons should cause normal 1x forward playback to resume. What this implementation loses is variable rate scanning. What it gains is a better connection to the user in terms of function. There is a more direct/tangible/immediate relationship between the pressing of buttons and the output of the player. It is the expected behavior for anyone that has ever used a late model tape player, CD player or many other DAP products. If many people like the DVD-like scanning modes, then this could always be rolled into a configurable option. There are already so many I'm sure another one won't cause a huge issue. All these hundreds of options need to be hidden away for a more consumer interface anyway. And this mode set up as a default will definitely cause much less confusion when someone uses this product for the first time. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36287 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Sonos now available at Best Buy
With a WiFi PDA you are nowhere near the level of integration of a purpose-built controller/interface. Not even close to the level of polish of the Sonos product. The Slimserver skins all offer some level of advanced control and some pretty cool features, but there's no arguing that they all have a certain level of geek appeal that is not suitable or at least will not make a statement to a consumer-level audience. No sense in discussing the positives or benefits the current SB products have. We all know them already, that's why we bought what we did and continue to use them. The SB product is the best, but you have to look at yourself and realize who you are. You (and me of course) are not the typical consumer. No one, including me, has suggested making it a requirement to have a control pad nor to remove the display of any current or future Slim product. I only mentioned that the availability of a finished, primarily screen-based controller, would be an extremely valuable addition to Slim's product portfolio. End users hacking together PDA's with web skins is not the same thing. There isn't a PDA out there that's as cool or functional as the Sonos controller. Every MS PDA also loses all its software when the battery runs dead (I have two and they're garbage devices). -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36259 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The in the SB3 setup menu go to Current settings - MAC address, and press right again to edit it. Set it the same as your laptop's MAC, then unplug the laptop and plug in the SB3 and it might work. You may have problems with Squeezenetwork since the MAC address will not be right. I'm not really sure what will happen, but you will at least have to re-associate the player with your SN account. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36324 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox and Digital TV signal don't play nice together.
Hi All, Picture this, you spend hours in an unheated room of the house setting up the HTPC so it is a simple as possible to use and works just how you want it to. You then get excited because you can now leave the nasty end of the house and go into the warmth of the lounge room and rack the HTPC. Give the big wind up to the significant other about how good things work and BAM, no TV. Does not look good to significant other. Un-rack HPC and go back to Siberia, plug everything in and every thing works OK. Go through this process several times before reaching breaking point and thinking it's the aerial cable. Replace supposedly faulty aerial cable with new one but this one travels a slightly different route. TV comes on. Then begin to move new cable into desired cable run whch travels behind AV receiver, CD, Squeezebox etc and the TV stops working. What tha..!!!??? Move cable in front of Squeezebox and TV signal works, move cable behind SB and TV stops. Leave cable behind and unplug SB and all works again. Repeat until satisfied. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Alternative cable run has fixed the problem for now but I am a bit baffled. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Re: [slim] Connecting to MySQL using SQyog
givendale;210488 Wrote: Can anyone tell me the port, username and password to access the DB remotely? You're not going to be able to access it remotely. The default configuration for the bundled MySQL only listens on IP address 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Which means that it will only accept connections coming from the machine itself. To listen on other IP addresses you'll need to edit the /server/MySQL/my.tt file and restart both MySQL and SlimServer. Change the line: bind-address = 127.0.0.1 Either set it to a single IP address (the IP address of the server). For example, bind-address = 192.168.1.5 or else delete the line or comment it out, as in: #bind-address = 127.0.0.1 If you delete the line or comment it out, then MySQL will listen on all IP addresses that the machine may have, which won't hurt anything. The port is 9092, the username is 'slimserver', and the password is blank. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36328 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Firt thing to do is connect it via _wire_ - a known good Ethernet patch cable from your Squeezebox to your router or switch, not the homeplug thing. Even if you have to move the Squeezebox away from the stereo, figure out how you can have it wired and be able to listen while testing.

Set-up your home firewall software and/or router hardware to allow incoming connections to ports 3483 and 9000 for both UDP and TCP connections. You'll have to set-up port forwarding if you have NAT function on your router. Set-up your slimserver security not to block incoming connections. At your friends, on the SB3 press and hold the left arrow button for five seconds to go back to the main setup menu, go into networks and enter the DNS for of your home system.
