Re: [slim] Missing artists with 6.5.3
I just found this thread while searching for artist tag issues. I'm using: SlimServer Version: 6.5.3 - 12376 - Debian - EN - iso-8859-1 and NONE of the artists in my collection are showing up. All my files are flac files and do have artists listed (they show up in Amarok and I've checked the tags manually in a few files so I could be sure I'd get at least one or two artists). I've rescanned my collection a few times, but no artist. When I was testing with Slimserver on a different computer but reading the same files over an NFS share, using version 6.3.0 from the Slimdevices repository on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, the artists did show up. I tried testing again with 6.5.3 on the Ubuntu computer, but the web interface never worked. Any idea how I can get the artists to show? I am used to (and prefer) browsing by artists.

I have a library that I created completely with iTunes (ripping). When I have slimserver scan that music folder, the number of songs it comes up with are different than what iTunes reports - by 18. Anyone know what causes this? I'm inclined to think the iTunes number is correct, as I'm also having troubles (which I'm working on with support) using the use iTunes function of the slimserver. I even created a new iTunes library and imported all the music from that folder into it - and after doing that both iTunes and slimserver (after scanning that same folder) reported a different number (by about 20 songs).

If the tags are properly set, and you dont care much about filenames (I only use file tags in SB) you can use any automated tool like tag rename, foobar2000 or any standard renamer and just assign them autonames. If I'm not mistaken, with tag rename you can even copy the title tag to the file name with your chosen character set. -- ganjastone ganjastone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37069 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm thinking of one of the low level ones such as the 555. As far as I can tell, the 555 / 550 works the same way as the 880; extra functions are in the database on Logitech's site, and you just assign them to soft buttons (the ones up by the LCD screen). On the 880 you get 8 'slots' per page (for 8 buttons of your choosing), and on the 550 I think it's 4. Either way you get a button to move forward and backwards through the pages of buttons you've defined, so there's no problem getting them all in there.

For me, the cradle is the biggest differentiator, but there's also a bunch of small things that (for me) incrementally make a big difference... like having 8 soft-buttons; having 8 of the most commonly used functions at hand is pretty useful, and I think that dropping it to 4 would be limiting.

Re: [slim] Harmony remotes
I got an 880 for Christmas and LOVE it. It cleared the table of five remotes, and very rarely do I need to pull one out of the darkness. Having Harmony store my setup is no issue for me. I have a cable connection and set up was a breeze. Okay, it took me two tries to get everything perfect but that consumed all of about fifteen minutes total (a lot of the was walking back and forth to from basement to my office). As a result, I have no concern if my set up were lost on the Harmony as it would just take moments to setup again. One note: Sitting the remote on the cradle is a little bit of a challenge because it can be easily done so that contact is not made (so take your time and listen for the beep). I came back from vacation to find a dead remote, and I thought I'd have to set it up again. However, after a five minute charge in the cradle all was back without need to link up to the Internet. I think it's a GREAT remote and recommend it highly. Your results may vary but Harmony (Logitech) has had breat support in my experience.

Re: [slim] Phone calls cause SB to turn off.
I presume your SB is connecting to your network wirelessly. If this is the case the likely cause is the wirless channel being used by the sb3 clashing with that used by the phone. Try to reconfigure your WAP to use a different channel. If that doesn't resolve the problem get a pair of netplugs and use your home's power lines to act as your network. IMHO a wired connection is a much better solution for streaming lossless audio. I've been using netplugs for quite some time now and have never had any issues - they just work. -- egd http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_transporter.html? http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/shopbycable/1800F.htm http://www.atc.gb.net/homeamplifier/sca2.html http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/shopbycable/1800F.htm http://www.atc.gb.net/domestic/scm100slat.html egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37094 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Harmony remotes
I'm not sure where you're ordering from but you should also look at the 670 as a middle point between the 550 and the 880 in terms of functionality, but just a little more than the 550 in price. For me the fact that it was half price opposite the 880 (in the US on Amazon) was the difference. It has backlighting, letters for lazy search and 6 soft buttons. I know the 880 has the charging cradle (not sure whether this a plus or minus based on the reviews :) ) motion sensor, and color buttons, but I just felt wrong about a remote costing more than some of the components it controls. :p -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37083 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Harmony remotes
I have a 550 also and I really like it. It's far from my perfect remote - I'm still waiting for the successor to the current generation of Harmony remotes, which (I assume) will incorporate the new Jive platform and will (I hope) allow me to browse my library directly on the remote. But I needed a new universal remote sooner than that, so I got the least expensive Harmony currently available. When the fancy one comes out, I'll buy that, and move my 555 into the bedroom. I don't like the online programming either, but it works OK and I live with it to have a remote with such a high WAF. In regards to your original question, I have one other thing to point out: You can also reprogram the hard buttons, some of which will have no meaning when the Squeezebox is your current activity. I have the Guide button programmed to bring up the Search menu, so I don't have to page through the soft buttons. There are also four more hard buttons along the bottom (Sound, Picture, A, B) that can be repurposed, if you have a good memory. With all of those buttons available I haven't regretted not having the 880. -- sclamage sclamage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37083 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Harmony remotes
I have a Logitech 555 and am very happy with it. I have had it since Christmas last year and the batteries are still going strong - I can live with changing four AAA batteries every nine months or so, so having a charging cradle isn't a big deal for me. It would be nice to have more 'soft' buttons, but I have programmed mine to give useful functions to the 'hard' Menu, Exit, Guide and Info buttons that do the job for me for just about everything I need to do. I set it up using the website, and after a few goes got a set up that worked for me - haven't had to go back to the website since, so again that is not a problem. Overall, highly recommended, and for my money the 555 seems to be at the sweet spot of value for money vs features. -- WhaleOil WhaleOil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37083 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Phone calls cause SB to turn off.
I have a recurring problem since switching to DSL high-speed internet. When I use the phone, the SqueezeBox turns off. For calls out, simply turning on the phone is the trigger. Both the phone and DSL share the same jack, with s splitter. A filter is on the phone line, supplied by Verizon. The problem persists when the phone is plugged into a different outlet. The phone is about 10 years old, a Panasonic wireless model. For long calls, the SB connection is restored, with the display showing now playing but no music actually playing, but then disconnects again when I hang up. The problem also occurs when the answering machine picks-up. This is a VERY annoying problem, especially if I'm busy with the phone. I don't want to switch back to cable internet since DSL is cheaper and the installation is simpler.

Yes, it probably means that nobody experienced anything quite like this -- at least those that read this forum. The way the problem manifests, it sounds like SlimServer is blocking or is non-responsive. If the server CPU usage is spiking at the dropout times then check to see if there is a periodic task that runs. If it doesn't spike, then it points to a plugin that might be doing blocking I/O. The 6.5.3 server is single-threaded but I've seen very few reports of problems like you are having -- at least with a vanilla installation. The fact that things work fine over SqueezeNetwork indicates to me that it's probably not connectivity (wireless vs. wired) so I would not focus on that angle. It certainly could be connectivity, but less likely in my opinion. If all else fails you should definitely contact the official SlimDevices technical support resources.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox 3 problem running on Apple hardware
I'm running my Extreme N with WPA encryption without any issues, streaming lossless to my SB3 at almost 1Mbps throughput. It should work, even with the signal strength down to 35 or 40%... I've done it. What other info can you give us. What's the server running on? Is there a router ahead of the Express or are you using it as a router?

Hi Mike Thanks for your guidance and patience.

[slim] Sticky SB2
I have an SB2 that I prefer over the SB3 for its low profile face plate. lately when trying to dust it I find the shell is getting sticky and literally melting. Is anyone having this problem? The SB2 is not subject to any direct heat source.

Re: [slim] Acoustic coupling
Yes, Tube(valve) amps have serious problems with this because nearly all tubes are, or can become, microphonic. Microphonic is the term of art to describe when physicially shaking the tube causes it to act as a microphone. Very bad in general for audio quality. Turntables, remember them? have always had problems with acoustic coupling, either from heavy feet clomping as they dance, or speakers causing the turntable to vibrate in sync. tyler_durden;216931 Wrote: Solid state amps generally don't suffer from this problem, however, there are many golden ears who claim to hear such problems even with solid state amps and need to spend vast sums on equipment racks to ameliorate the problem. There is a slightly more plausible case that CD players could be subject to vibrations, moving parts and all that. I think, IMHO, etc. that this is unlikely and approaches snake oil. Anyone claiming that interconnects or speaker cables are susceptible to this are selling vastly overpriced snake oil. ameliorate the problem.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox cutting out! HELP!
Mark Lanctot;217041 Wrote: I believe it doesn't matter if bittorrent is running or not, the router tries to maintain a table of recently-used connections and starts dropping or having trouble maintaining contact with others. I believe forum member snarlydwarf had this problem. Couldn't you at least try power-cycling the router, use SlimServer a bit, then use bittorrent and see if SlimServer performance degrades? Well it wasn't BT, I only use that to download files from DGMLive (legal, but I'd be broke if I downloaded everything :)) My problem got really nasty when I opened a port to allow http through so I could move a site home. Hardly a high traffic site, but the router seemed to want to maintain state for every connection (which it really shouldn't need to do for passthrough... if the IP/port match, pass it, no need for NAT tables...) Very odd network failures: Local activity was usually OK, but I could not bring up the router config page. I could SSH home from work, and run VNC... which worked just fine. But Softsqueeze would fail (it would have probably worked fine over an ssh tunnel). I usually couldn't even ping the router when it died. (And, yes, I usually could at least from the home lan...)

I'm going one step more. I considered just giving up on the Ubuntu install, since I don't need it, but I like to know what causes problems like that so I'm ready to deal with them again. For all I know, the issue could be a bug in Slimserver and it would help me and everyone if I found out that was it. I also have plans to use some cheaper devices out in my garage and on the porch.

[slim] NiceCast and intranet streaming to squeezebox
I am attempting to stream audio from my Safari browser or streams from iTunes on my mac to my squeezebox through slim network. I have been attempting to use NiceCast and use the intranet address to start playing the stream through either one of two methods: 1) putting the IP address on the play URL on the slim network browser page or 2) creating a playlist with the URL on one of the songs.
