Re: [slim] Lost Playlists
Interesting. I came into the forums today to ask about a similar problem (lost playlist data), but I'm still at the same SlimServer version (6.5.4). I added two new playlists a couple of days ago. Yesterday I went to play one of them, and found it had no songs in it. Checked the other, same thing. Then went to other lists which I've used in the past; three of the other lists are also empty, and two others have nearly all (but not all) of the songs gone. We haven't added any music, haven't rescanned the music files. The data within the playlists is evaporating, and we've had this happen other times in the past, but just dealt with it. But now I don't want to go back and put in the tie to re-make those playlists if they're just going to dissolve again. So, in our case, this isn't related to any server software upgrade.

Re: [slim] Why is SlimServer so slow?
Phil, with all due respect, I have to disagree with your first sentence, while agreeing with your second. When 'Track gain' is selected for volume adjustment, SlimServer/SqueezeCenter DOES 'scale' the audio samples, thereby destroying the integrity of the DTS code stream. There was some discussion last year about SS being made smarter by recognising DTS bit-streams and disabling gain adjustments for those tracks. It was suggested that the developers would aim for this in Rev. 7, but this clearly hasn't happened (I installed SqueezeCenter 7 yesterday and tested it today, and I still get white noise when volume adjustment is enabled for a DTS track. Disabling volume adjustment ['none'] allows DTS FLAC files to play perfectly through the Squeezebox's Toslink o/p). agentsmith, the new server (SqueezeCenter) has improved speed in only one or two respects, but is still a dog in most others. While loading a moderate sized playlist still takes minutes, it seems to allow you to start playing (the first track at least) before the full list has loaded into the web interface. And converting it from sequential to shuffled now takes only seconds before play can start. Marc, now that SqueezeCenter is faster at shuffling (or at least allowing you to start playing before it's finished), the need to use Random Play is diminished. I had a look for Erland's SqlPlayList plugin, but his download page doesn't include that plug-in. I'll have a further look when I get more time. Another area where SS/SC is abysmally slow, that I forgot to mention in my original post, is (re)scanning the music library. SS was particularly finicky about broken playlist links, so every time I added, deleted or renamed tracks, I needed to rescan the library. This takes well over half an hour, during which I must suffer in silence :-( I'm hoping SC won't be so touchy about broken links, and will just do what any intelligent s/w does, and skip the 'missing' track. Which brings me to a related question. I create my own playlists outside of SS/SC, using a batch file and a few programs I've written (takes ~24 seconds to create the 'everything' playlist and then derive the artist and other playlists from it). I don't understand why SC needs to 'scan' anything. Why couldn't I just navigate to a ready-made playlist and say 'play this', and off it goes (just like Spider or other players)? Perhaps I'm missing something, and SS/SC was created for a completely different purpose from what I expect it to do (just play my music, anytime, without delay). I guess what I want is Spider Player with a Squeezebox driver! :-) I must say it's been a great disappointment to me that SS/SC doesn't handle external playlists well - SS wouldn't even display artist/title information from an extended M3U playlist! I've yet to test SC for this. Playlists seem such a powerful/flexible way to organise and manage what you want to hear. And if SC handled them properly, I wouldn't have to bother editing my 15,000 tracks to add artist/title tags - a task I don't look forward to!

Further to my previous post, I can confirm that even with Music Library compilation settings set to: Group Compilations Albums Together and List Albums By Band, the only way of getting compilation albums in SC 7.0 to appear under Various Artists is to set the Compilation tag=1 for each track (in my case WMA file) using a tag editor like Tag Rename.

None of my DTS files have ReplayGain information embedded in them, so there's nothing for SlimServer to do -- I would have thought that it wouldn't adjust the audio at all if there were no RG tags. Some simple things to check (which you may have already tried): 1. Check that there are no ReplayGain values set for your DTS files. I use foobar2000: I can ask for a track's properties and, on the Properties tab (as opposed to Metadata) I can see RG values. fb2k can clear RG values too. 2. Check that the Digital Volume Control setting is fixed (or similar; I don't remember the exact setting name and it may have changed for SC). 3. Check that there's no bitrate limiting enabled. If you can play DTS back with RG disabled, I imagine the last two are okay, but check anyway.

[slim] Duet Controller Scrolling Problem
As I scroll through my artists list, when I get to the Ts, the controller stops responding for a while. It then seems to catch up to the Ts or the Us, but scrolling is erratic. It seems like it gets lost if the the scrolling goes too far too fast. Also, I try to go backwards from the As to get to the end of the alphabet and sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Has anyone else had this problem? It is also a pain when you navigate back to pick another artist and the list goes back to the As. This combined with the scrolling issue makes switching from Tom Waits to Uncle Tupelo or to Wilco much more difficult that it was with the original Squeezebox remote. -- jcowling jcowling's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9345 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44551 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Lost Playlists
First question (apologies if this is a bit grandmother sucking eggs) have you done both a full clear and rescan and a playlist only rescan? Assume yes, and that neither has brought back the playlists? Also assume these are user created playlists, and haven't been imported from Itunes or MusicIP or similar? All a playlist is a collection of links to music files in a text document, so one possible issue can be when Squeezecenter sees the link differently from the way it sees the music library. For example, if your playlists are d:/Music/Mysong.mp3 and your music library is //Music/Mysong.mp3 then the playlists won't show up. Open up one of the playlists in a text editor like EditPad and check the file paths are the same. The most likely cause is that they aren't, so a good one to rule out at the start. If this is your problem, it's easy to do a find and replace in the text file to match your Music Library setting and then the playlists will work again. Are there any clues in the scanner.log (esp when you do the playlist only rescan) what do the error messages say? Finally, you mention you're on an NAS (but you don't say which one or what OS you are running). Does the squeezecenter user have appropriate read/write access to the playlist files - it is a different user from the old slimserver user which may be why you are running into problems? -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44527 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I don't know what's wrong with your setups, but it seems like it must be fixable. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that anti-virus software might be causing file access slowness. Well, it was working perfectly for me too when I first installed it, and then I ran into trouble. My reason for working so hard to fix it was my assumption that if it worked properly before, it should do so again. Clearly, I understand that this may be an isolated problem, and now that I've fixed it, it may never happen again.

Re: [slim] Is this possible?
Svanur;277370 Wrote: Hi, one more question. If you buy the Duet, then the receiver is wired to the network (cable). Is the builtin WiFi then only to communicate with the controller? Or is the WiFi only for if you don't have a network cable in range to connect the receiver to the network (and also the controller)? What's the thought behind these options on the receiver? Normally these devices are run wireless, but if you can run wired it's better. So the wireless is really for LAN access to SC. However if you run wired, the receiver can act as a stripped-down AP which the SBC can talk to, so you don't need a wireless network, the SBC can talk to the receiver and from there to SC. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44155 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze Version
I've also had problems with Softsqueeze 3.4 after my SC 7.0 upgrade. It always works perfectly when playing from my music folder (flacs or mp3s), but is intermittent when playing internet radio favorites (any station). The station connects, buffers, the VU meter starts dancing up and down but no audio...Sometimes it kicks in several minutes later, generally not. Or it might work as usual for a day or two, then the audio will vanish mysteriously, and just as mysteriously return... It's hit and miss - yesterday it was working on my office pc, today only one brief period of audible internet radio, but flacs are streaming perfectly. Not PC specific, I have the same problem at home and work (same versions of xp, sc, and softsqueeze on both boxes).

Re: [slim] iTunes artwork - how to make it all available in SlimServer/SqueezeCenter in Mac OS X
Hi there, Yes. And the downloaded artwork is not linked to the music in an understandable way. Thus - this is an issue that e.g. the good people behind iTunes Update, iPeng and TrackStat has heen fighting. It's the same problem on Windows. iTunes Update makes (most) artwork available for the currently playing track, but not for all the other tracks.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter won't start on Vista 64
Turns out it had something to do with the Custom Scan Plug-in. I had initiated the Amazon.com Scan within the plug-in. It does state that it is slow. Well, it started to scan and then sqzctr bombed. After that, I couldnt restart and the 50% cpu usage and 1 gb memory usage. I ended up removing the plug-in and the pref files. I reinstalled sqzctr and the rest of the plug-ins. Then it worked fine. I reinstalled Custom Scan plug-in and it still worked fine. I then tried to install the Lazy Search plug-in and it bombed again. So I started the cycle again. Removed plug-ins, re-installed sqzctr, installed all plug-ins other than Custom Scan(even lazy search)and all is well again. So, I guess I wont be installing Custom Scan again.

I assumed this was due to the limitation of a single Squeezecenter server managing that many nodes, versus a solely wifi limitation. I'm sure YMMV due to server size, network traffic, etc. Perhaps someone from Logitech Engineering can comment.
