I think it is ironic that the OP probably speaks Hiberno English where we have have own local spellings/phrases. For example, sometimes using ye instead of you. Who are we to criticise ? I can accept spelling variations but my pet hate is typography where letters in the middle of a word are capitalised (capitalized) as this is not proper English spelling. The capitalisation in SqueezeCenter emphasises that is a product name rather than a word. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42625 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Rapid shuffle of long playlist
hey puzzler - and i thought i was the only one using LONG playlists in shuffle mode! ;-) mine are only ~800 songs, but i agree the delay is there. on my system, it took about 15-20 sec. for SS 6.x to start playing the lists shuffled. while not instantaneous, i can live with that. i have a severley resource starved server: 700 MHz PIII equivalent VIA ITX MoBo with 1GB and it is running LOTS of stuff. how long are you waiting? i am not sure if this will help you, but i discovered something just recently... my playlist manager (personal playlist manager plugin for winamp) seems to be adding junk to my playlists. i had a playlist called mood groovy which had ~700 tracks in it and was ~85KB in size. when i accidentally re-saved it from inside winamp, it shrunk to 14KB and all 700 tracks all still there! go figure... anyways, i am imagining my SS 6 is faster now, it rarely needs more than 10 sec. to load mood groovy shuffled. here is what i did: opened mood groovy in winamp. immediately re-saved it (different file name) - shrunk to 14KB. re-scanned playlists in SS. done! maybe you want to try that? other than that, i really wouldnt know either - sorry! -- dcote dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42650 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Duet - looks like a nice alternative to the SB3 though I'll not be rushing out to get one if it offers no audio quality improvement (not that my SB3 with external DAC is bad in any way). It was irritating though to find that the Duet needs a 9v supply unlike the 5v of the SB3. What would I do with my current investment in a linear, regulated model ? I'm no electrical engineer but do get more and more hacked off with needing dozens of wall warts etc where every product seems to have a slightly different need (they come with different power ratings, physical configurations, plug diameters etc). Would it not be possible to standardise supplies around 2 or three alternatives (eg 5v, 12v, 18v) so at least there's the possibility of using existing gear ? Could the duet have been made to work with 5V (esp if the receiver circuitry is much the same) Ah well . . . . -- liffy99 liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

SC7 doesn't currently support playing last.fm radio streams.

If you enter your details into SqueezeNetwork (beta) as well then the music you play on Rhapsody, Slacker, etc will also be scrobbled to LastFM. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42627 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Let's hope haunyack comes back into the forum in the morning and removes the, frankly unnecessary, bad language; even if the main point of the rant still stands. It's easy to say it's a beta, you should know better but we're all guilty of becoming complacent about these things, especially when they normally work so well, which makes it even more frustrating when they go pear-shaped.

Re: [slim] Wireless bridge question
seanadams;172362 Wrote: When the SB3 is operating in bridging mode, it keeps track of who is on the ethernet side and who is on the wireless side - it knows where to send a packet. What happens when it doesn't know who's on which side? Reason I'm asking this, is that I'm trying to use WOL to wake up my living room PC from internet (using e.g. dslreports.com's wakeup service http://www.dslreports.com/wakeup). If I send a WOL magic packet from my local net it of course spreads via WLAN to SB3 and, as it is a broadcast packet, SB3 forwards it to the ethernet port and the PC wakes up. When I'm using the dslreports' 'service' the packet comes to my network as a _unicast_ packet. I have configured my ADSL-modem/router with static ARP for the PC, and a rule to forward UDP port 9 packets to the PC's IP address. When I've connected the PC to one of the ADSL-modem/router's ethernet ports send the packet from internet, my PC wakes up. When I place the PC on SB3's ethernet port and send the packet from the same site the PC stays powered off. In my understanding there might be two reasons for this. - Either the ADSL device forgets to forward the packet to WLAN along with all the ethernet ports, or - SB3 drops the packet as it doesn't know that the addressee is on its ethernet port. After some email exchange with the tech guys from modem manufacturer, they assure me that all packets that are distributed to the ethernet ports will also be sent to WLAN. If this is the case, then the SB3 drops the packet and I'd like to know whether it would be possible to change the behavior of SB3's IP stack in such a way, that if it doesn't know (no entry in ARP table?) the recipients 'location' on the net, it would forward the packet?

Is there a plugin for Media Monkey that does this? Not that I'm aware of, but Slimserver will play .m3u or .pls files, so if you create these in MediaMonkey and save them in the Slimserver playlist directory they will get picked up on a Playlist Rescan. A few caveats though, Slimserver needs to see the paths to your files in a playlist in the same way as it sees the files in your Music Library. This will only be an issue if your music files are stored somewhere other than the place that Slimserver is installed, like a network drive for example. So, if your Music Library is \\server\Music\song.mp3 and your playlist points to the same song as E:/Music/song.mp3, the playlist won't work. Slimserver also currently doesn't support relative paths for playlists, you have to use an absolute path (i.e. the full \\server\song...). A playlist is just a text file with links to your songs, so if you open your playlist files up in a text editor like Notepad or Editpad you will be able easily to see if the file paths need changing to match your Music Library setup. You can either use Find and Replace (depending on your text editor) and resave the playlist (then do a playlist rescan), or use a batch script to automate the process. If you run Windows and are interested in a simple script with a frontend that someone very kindly made available to me, let me know. In terms of playlist creation actually in Slimsever, the forthcoming new version of Slimserver (Squeezecenter 7.0 which is in beta testing right now), is step forward. It supports drag and drop playlist creation for example. There's also MusicIP which is integrated with Slimserver in the same way as Itunes, and supports mood and automatic playlist creation. -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33110 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Typos and setup question
The controller is needed for setup because the receiver has no screen - without that you can't tell it things like the WEP/WPA key or select options such as DHCP/static IP. Once it's on the network it can be fully controlled by SqueezeCenter. There have been (strong) rumors that the requirement for the controller may be removed in the future, so if that's a big deal for you it may be worth waiting a little while to see what happens in that regard (as I understand it there are some technical issues which need figuring out). You could of course also buy the duet and once setup, sell the controller.

There have been (strong) rumors that the requirement for the controller may be removed in the future, so if that's a big deal for you it may be worth waiting a little while to see what happens in that regard If you join us at https://slimdevices.campfirenow.com/room/48940 you'll see that a community member is already working hard on a plugin which should be able to configure a SBR.

Re: [slim] Flac tag problem

Re: [slim] Rapid shuffle of long playlist

The mp3tag program is well suited for tagging FLAC files correctly, there is no need to use foobar2000. However mp3tag will read all sorts of tags and if its possible that MediaMonkey would have done something as badly behaved as adding id3 tags to a FLAC file (I don't use it so wouldn't know) then mp3tag will tell you what tag types are attached to the files. -- ceejay ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42671 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] new controller with sb3?
You say sbc controls sc7 and that in turn controls the players. What about setup? Is SC7 able to setup a new i.e sbr player on it's own? Cause if the controler doesn't interact with the player directly there must be a way to setup the player via the server. Not sure how that might work though. Anyway, it would be great since we would be able to find players on the lan without using a nonexistent or (for the blinds nonusable display) on the players.

If you're not afraid of command line, ffmpeg can do just about any to/from conversion format you like. Just pass -vn to specify no video out, just audio. Something like this should do it: ffmpeg -i myfile.vob -ab 128 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -acodec flac -vn mynewfile.flac substitute some other acodec for your use. vlc (videolan.org) can also extract audio only using the streaming wizard, and has a gui and pre-compiled binaries if you are more comfortable with that. -jeffrey -- jeffphil jeffphil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42634 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Wireless bridge question
hau;262161 Wrote: The problem is that the packet which is sent from the internet is otherwise structured as a WOL packet, but in fact is a UDP packet sent to a certain address (unicast). (My ADSL router then forwards it internally to the specified address.) Hmm. So here's an idea: try making that static ARP entry point to the broadcast MAC: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This is a very strange and generally inadviseable thing as if it works, it will let someone on the internet create broadcast traffic on your LAN. However it would be an interesting test to do, although it is possible that your router will (justifiably) refuse to send the packet to the broadcast MAC via a static ARP entry. However if it works then maybe firewalling that port to only allow your remote IP to reach it would be acceptable to you. Another thing to try would be to use a port redirect to send it to the broadcast IP, usually X.X.X.255. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31850 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
