[slim] Random Mix plugin not maintaining state across restarts
It seems this complaint has come up a few times and been lumped into 'bug 3297' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3297) but it seems to persist after quite some time. Is the structure of slim server conducive to maintaining playlist-oriented plugin states across server restarts? The title of the bug does not really reflect the problem with restart state. Anyone know of a more appropriate or active bug? Anyone else want to 'vote for it' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/votes.cgi?action=show_userbug_id=3297#vote_3297)? -- ILikeSoup ILikeSoup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16293 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45224 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] m4a/aac =white noise, getting mad!!!!
Apples lossless use a different decoder alac - so it looks like only the files which use the mov123 decoder are affected. Assuming the m4a file are uncorrupted, haven't been changed by iTunes (e.g. ablum art added, tags changed) and are fully accessible (i.e. no security blocking SC or mov123), that points to a problem * in QT libraries * in Filetypes settings * in the convert.conf file. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45183 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How do I allow power-saving Standby mode?
There is a known issue with Intel Viiv Quick Resume which can prevent a PC from timing out to Standby when using a Squeeze Box. If Quick Resume is enabled, and you wake up the PC from Standby via a Wake on LAN by turning on a Squeeze Box, it will never go back to Standby after the Squeeze Box is turned off. (The only way to get to Standby is to use do something on the PC itself.) http://downloadmirror.intel.com/12128/ENG/Release_1523.htm, The system will not timeout to Hibernation or Standby via the system inactivity timer if the system has awakened to Quick Resume mode from Hibernation or Standby from a programmed video recording or a wake on LAN event . Workaround: Wake the system to S0 via the mouse or keyboard and then allow the inactivity timer to expire or manually put the system in to Hibernation or Standby. -- sunset-squeeze sunset-squeeze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16220 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33678 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Serverless SqueezeBox?
I'm just wondering when we will see a SqueezeBox device (either new product or firmware upgrade for existing ones) that can funtion without the need of the SqueezeCentre server? I understand the value-add of the server, but the fact of the matter is that more and more home users are getting notebook computers these days and its becoming much less common to have a desktop computer in the home. Notebooks are of course totally inappropriate for running server software, since they must be kept awake at any time that the server is needed, and that's not practical. I'm really interested in getting a SqueezeBox, but its requirement for a server is a deal-breaker for me, since I have no suitable desktop computer to run the server on, nor do I wish to purchase a computer for the sole purpose of running SqueezeCenter. I notice that Sonos is able to access network shares directly from any NAS device with no additional servers needing to be run, which is the functionality I'm looking for. Too bad about the exorbitant price of it though. :( When will SqueezeBoxes get similar functionality so that notebook-only households like mine can make use of what sounds like an excellent product? -Tim -- timmerweb timmerweb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16173 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45244 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Serverless SqueezeBox?
Since the NAS is a PC with a dedicated purpose you just defeated your requirement :) Seriously though with more laptops around the place people are considering how they backup and/access all the shared content and are turning to 'servers' in some shape or other. Many NAS are becoming that server able not only to share disks but server music, video, pictures, act as backup devices, print servers and many other functions. I suspect that over the next few years more and more things will arrive that expect to see an always available source. It is something that Microsoft with the XBox360 and Sony with PS3 are driving towards and of course there is the Windows Home Server and I'm sure Linux won't be too far away as well. There are NAS devices out there now that are capable or even already have SqueezeCentre installed. As an example take a look through the forums for RipStation which looks like being an extremely consumer friendly home media server. OK it's a ripper that also functions as a NAS but there are others mentioned from time to time. If you feel able for a little DIY there are also some very nice picoATX motherboards around, attach a 1TB disc, load the supplied Linux and you have the makings of a home server where the disc is bigger than the PC. -- Zaragon Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45244 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

1. I don't turn the controller off. I leave it in the cradle when not in use. (I'm assuming you meant controller and not receiver in your question) 2. Yes, and there is an artwork cache on the controller as well, so after you rescan your collection you should probably reboot your controller. 3. Yes. There is an option for just scanning for new/changed music, which will be faster than a full rescan 4.

Re: [slim] How to use MusicIP with Duet controller?
Jon/Zevs, As one of the people who originally made the bug request for MIP support with the SBC, here's a bit more background and a temporary workaround. MIP support was originally targetted for Squeezecenter 7.0 - that's when it got the P4 (lowish) priority. However, there just wasn't time to do everything requested, so it got moved to 7.0.1. However, it isn't really a bug, but an enhancement request - 7.0.1 is supposed to be about small, safe bug fixes. As for when 7.1 will be started - the (not especially helpful answer) is when enough of the bugs targetted for 7.0.1 are fixed. Now that MIP support has been moved to 7.1, I'd very much like the priority to be upped from P4 as I think it's a pretty glaring omission. As for why MIP isn't a higher priority - I'm not really sure - but a lot less people use it than Itunes for example. So, please vote for the bug if you haven't already to give it maximum visibility. Now for the workaround - install the Retro Browser applet (search the wiki) onto the SB controller. It gives you the old style SB menu on the Controller and you can press and hold to initiate a MusicIP mix from there via the Controller.

Not to take anything away from our guys tho... they kicked some major but and banged out almost 800 pre-oders and the required rework in like two days. Mike Appreciate you checking on this for me.

[slim] Mac issues with Squeeze Center 7.0
First off, sorry if this already repeats discussions that other users have had regarding the new server software. Just writing to rant that installing SC 7.0 has not been easy, and after fiddling (which I never had to do with prior versions) I gave up, uninstalled it, and moved back to 6.5.4. Have to say that I'm the proud owner of a Squeezebox -- have had it nearly a year and am quite pleased with it. I keep my server software on a Mac Mini that's about 3 yrs old but does the job. My issues with SC 7.0: (1) First the server wouldn't start properly. Had to come to these forums to learn how to clear out the caches, prefs, etc. (2) Server would start; upgraded firmware on Squeezebox. (3) Building up the library again seemed to stall -- my library is pretty big (ca. 1,800 albums, 20k songs), but it seemed to crap out after about 30 albums and not continue building up the library. (4) Looked like my old playlists were not showing up. In spite of the deleting I did to get the SC 7.0 to start, the old playlists still showed up when I installed 6.5.4. The new interface seems nice -- like the ability to ffwd and rewind by clicking on the graphic, which is good for long tracks, interviews, etc. If anyone has some suggestions on how to improve my mileage I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I'd have to say that this release has disappointed me because it didn't work, and I hope the developers take notice. The beauty with Slimserver / Squeezebox has been that it just works, and works well -- what's going on? Some technical data that might be helpful: (after switching back to trusty 6.5.4) SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Mac OS X 10.4 (8A428) - EN - utf8 Thanks everyone. -- jjcantab jjcantab's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16313 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45253 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

That very capability, above all else, is what convinced me.

Re: [slim] How to use MusicIP with Duet controller?
Siduhe;283075 Wrote: Jon/Zevs, As one of the people who originally made the bug request for MIP support with the SBC, here's a bit more background and a temporary workaround. MIP support was originally targetted for Squeezecenter 7.0 - that's when it got the P4 (lowish) priority. However, there just wasn't time to do everything requested, so it got moved to 7.0.1. However, it isn't really a bug, but an enhancement request - 7.0.1 is supposed to be about small, safe bug fixes. As for when 7.1 will be started - the (not especially helpful answer) is when enough of the bugs targetted for 7.0.1 are fixed. Now that MIP support has been moved to 7.1, I'd very much like the priority to be upped from P4 as I think it's a pretty glaring omission. As for why MIP isn't a higher priority - I'm not really sure - but a lot less people use it than Itunes for example. So, please vote for the bug if you haven't already to give it maximum visibility. Now for the workaround - install the Retro Browser applet (search the wiki) onto the SB controller. It gives you the old style SB menu on the Controller and you can press and hold to initiate a MusicIP mix from there via the Controller. HTH Thanks for the history. That makes a lot of sense and I really do hope the priority gets raised (I have voted)...Thank you for the workaround too!

[slim] No PC Standby after Squeeze Box Turned Off due to Quick Resume
I had a problem with my PC not timing out to Standby after turning off my Squeeze Box. I was able to solve this problem, and since I haven't any other postings about this, here's what I found. There is a known issue with Intel Viiv Quick Resume which can prevent a PC from timing out to Standby when using a Squeeze Box. If Quick Resume is enabled, and you wake up the PC from Standby via a Wake on LAN by turning on a Squeeze Box, it will never go back to Standby after the Squeeze Box is turned off. (The only way to get to Standby is to use do something on the PC itself.) http://downloadmirror.intel.com/12128/ENG/Release_1523.htm, The system will not timeout to Hibernation or Standby via the system inactivity timer if the system has awakened to Quick Resume mode from Hibernation or Standby from a programmed video recording or a wake on LAN event . Workaround: Wake the system to S0 via the mouse or keyboard and then allow the inactivity timer to expire or manually put the system in to Hibernation or Standby. -- sunset-squeeze sunset-squeeze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16220 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45258 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I notice that Sonos is able to access network shares directly from any NAS device with no additional servers needing to be run, which is the functionality I'm looking for. Too bad about the exorbitant price of it though. :( So can you tell me where in your situation on what computer those network shares are. Are you aware of the fact that those 'computers' have to be always on... There's 1 big difference between the Sonos solution and the slimdevices solution. Slimdevices: musicserver - (wireless) router - squeezebox/transporter Sonos: musicserver - (wireless) router - sonos zonebridge - sonos zoneplayers Notice the difference in the router part. It used to be worse, the zonebridge is a new product of Sonos. In the earlier days you needed a zoneplayer to do the bridging... In my situation I wanted a wireless solution, so Sonos never was an option, I found it to be rediculous to need 2 zoneplayers if I wanted wireless music in my livingroom, which isn't the place where my musicserver is... So the minimum requirements are Slimdevices: musicserver, router, squeezebox/transporter Sonos: musicserver, router, sonos zonebridge, sonos zoneplayer My guess from the datasheets is that in every aspect the slimdevices solution is cheaper, cheaper in purchase (ignoring the transporter), cheaper in powerconsumption. As earlier mentioned, a NAS is nothing more than a computer only serving files. Just setup a cheap desktop computer to do the same and you have enough computingpower to run slimserver and you're still better of than with the Sonos solution, which isn't a bad system at all, but a completely different solution. -- servies There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't. servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45244 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I like to have large Playlists shuffled by song (currently about 7500 songs). This takes AGES. Since a Playlist is, to all intents and purposes just a list of filenames, types and locations, why isn't this information stored and indexed when the library is scanned (which takes ages in itself). What is the point of the library scan if the locations are validated again when the songs/albums are added to the Playlist. Saving a Playlist also takes ages. In fact these delays are the single biggest complaint of the entire system. When it is working, it is very impressive but it takes far too long to set up.

Re: [slim] Serverless SqueezeBox?
Based on the fact that I rent access to my music collection via on-line services, there is/was no need for a local file server: Rhapsody.com/Pandora -- Squeezenetwork.com -- Internet + DSL -- Local WiFi -- SqueezeBox -- Home Audio System -- Speakers -- My ears That configuration gives me access to about 3 million tracks, none of which are stored locally. Although I do have desktop PCs at home that could serve files on the local network, I have chosen to not do so. -- jbuberel jbuberel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16281 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45244 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can't do it all from Duet controller
Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to change the display brightness of a SB2/SB3 via the duet controller, or if this is planned in a future release? Also, I would like to know if there is work being done to initiate a library rescan from the duet controller?
