Re: [slim] Transporter - Speaker connection help
st2000;304264 Wrote: Still, no deterrently the two DACs will perform identically w.r.t. time - right? Interesting, so explain to me where the transcoding (decompression) is taking place given I start with a FLAC. From what you are saying, it happens on the Trasporter (i.e. the SqueezeBoxes) and not the server. Sooo, if I only had an SB1, even though I rip in FLAC, the server will transcode (compress it) to an mp3, serve it up to the SB1, then the SB1 will transcode it (decompress it) back to PCM... And I don't get any of the benefits of Lossless Compression. i.e. There is no such thing as pass through on any of the SqueezeBox products w.r.t. the digital signal out on the SPDIF port? While you are right that there is a possibility of a delay between the analog and digital outputs, in practice it is very small - almost certainly less than the difference in delay you would get from moving some speakers around. As OP has found! In Squeezeboxes (which includes the Transporter for this discussion) the big buffering takes place on the input end (the network port coming in). So synchronising the output of a Squeezebox with, say, a video player on the server is pretty much impossible. There are smarts in the SBs which allow synchronisation of multiple SBs, though. As for where transcoding takes place - it can be either on the server or on the player, according to how it is configured. Actually if you were playing a FLAC file to an SB1 you'd get better results, network permitting, if you had the server transcode to WAV for the SB1 to play directly. That would be lossless throughout. For SB2 onwards you'd send FLAC to the player and let the player decode to PCM. Whether this is what you mean by pass through I have no idea HTH Ceejay -- ceejay ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47913 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Welcome pack for new Developers
Well I got some progress, the 3 lines appear but only for about 1
second. For some reason it wont pick up my block and duration code to
hold the display.
Any ideas? :s
This is the code that does work;
$client-showBriefly({ line = [$mytopline, $a],,}, {
'duration' = 15, 'block' = 0});
Expanded to use 3 lines, this doesnt work for more than 1 second;
$client-showBriefly({
'line' = [ $mytopline, $a, $mytopline ],
'duration' = 15,
'block' = 0,
'center' = [ $center1, $center2, $center3 ],
'overlay' = [ $overlay1, $overlay2, $overlay3 ],
'fonts' = { 'graphic-320x32' = 'threeline',}

[slim] SB stopped working
After some time using successfully, I've just found that the SB appears to have stopped working. It was working fine last night. After an overnight rest, it is not working. Setup is hybrid ethernet/wireless, both through the same router. SB is on, light is low white. Ethernet connection seems active, green lights at both ends (SB and router). Network otherwise is working, can access external resources (e.g. this forum) from the computer, which is ethernet-connected to the same router, which is connected to an external WAN. When I turned on the controller, it did not detect the SB. I thought maybe wireless problems so opened up Squeezecenter on the computer, advanced, no player detected, so the problem is not wireless. SB has been disconnected from the power source and reconnected twice, both times returning to the low white condition quickly. I'd have called tech support, except that the hours (not open till 9 Pacific time) are not friendly for the east, and I will not be able to contact when they are open (after noon my time).

Tried everything to fix it, upgraded firmware, set to factory defaults, nothing has worked. I send an email to Logitec today about this (just now infact). -- cord cord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17739 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48056 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Have to agree. SC7 has been great here too, and I'm really enjoying the sync improvements in particular. If you're having specific, identifiable issues, they can probably be fixed.

Just saw your reply, dang those mid-air collisions. So, what's your setup like? Wired/wireless? How's the server connected to the network? Completely anecdotally and unscientifically, whenever SlimServer/SqueezeCenter suddenly stops working, 9 times out of 10 it works great again when it's hooked up using all-wired connections, and something's changed in the wireless setup (the neighbors just bought a new draft-N router or somesuch). i.e. SqueezeCenter is only as stable as the network it's hooked up to. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48065 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SO frustrated
Do you have any anti-virus software installed? If so, make sure you look in the settings of the antivirus software in order to tell it to specifically NOT scan *.MYI and *.MYD files. This is a known problem when running on windows, as the database software used by SqueezeCenter seems to have a problem when its temporary files are being scanned by AV software. A common symptom is as you have described, pages that just seem to hang. If you look in the server log (server settings-advanced- logging) you'll probably see something about files with an extension like the two above. cheers, kdf On 24-May-08, at 3:41 PM, jbloewheedle wrote: Ok, I've taken a deep breath.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Duet Firmware Update problem
You should see an option to upgrade firmware under Settings/ Advanced/ Software update. Whether that will or will not work for you is another question altogether. My Receiver has never been able to upgrade its firmware via the wireless connection so I've resorted to using an SD card. Copy the firmware onto the SD card, pop that into your Receiver and choose Update from SD card. On my Ubuntu machine the firmware is located at /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/ Just rename the file jive_x.x_r.bin to jive.bin, put it on an SD card, pop the SD card into the Controller and update from the Controller. If you're running windows I'd search for /program files/*jive*.bin to find the file. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45823 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Controller: some [early] observations
So, I've had the Duet for a little while now and after the battle to upgrade firmware and render the device useful I've been using the Controller exclusively to control all my SB3s, Transporter and Receiver. What follows are my initial observations (based on using out of the box functionality): - Once you have the Controller up and running it works pretty reliably - Being able to browse Albums sorted by Artist still needs to be addressed, but it seems this is underway (thanks Ben). I look forward to being able to browse Album covers, sorted by Artist :) - I'm pleasantly surprised by the SB3, Receiver and Transporter's responsiveness to the Controller (instantaneous). Somehow I figured there'd be a lag and things wouldn't be quite as snappy as with an IR remote but I was wrong - I love the fact that I can sit in a dark room and control my music without having to turn on a light. Motion sensor activation of the backlight is extremely useful - Browsing long album and/ or artist lists can be cumbersome, despite the wheel. It would be useful to have a button-combo or something of the sort to allow you to jump to a letter in the alphabet. - Being able to control any SB3, Receiver or Transported anywhere in the house from a single remote is nice plus. - Searching for something is a PITA. Whilst I appreciate there is currently no alternative, I don't think the clickwheel cuts it as a keypad. Any future version of the Controller would do well to consider a mobile phone type arrangement whereby the keyboard can slide out such as on the Nokia E65. The IR beats the Controller hands down in this area, and is enough reason to keep the IR remote handy. - A slightly larger screen would have been beneficial, both in terms of the size of coverart and also in terms of text being more readily visible without having to scroll across the screen. All told, it's a good first effort that will undoubtedly improve as software enhancements are made, albeit at this point I find it less useful than I thought I would. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48068 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SBR network config/reset
I've got a 2nd Duet Receiver I'm trying to configure. After a hold-the-button receiver reset, how exactly does it initially connect to the network? For example, in my house there are these networks: 1) wired ethernet 2) neighbor's open wifi 3) my WPA encrypted wifi 4) (I suppose this could be possible) peer-to-peer ad-hoc between SBC and SBR? How does the receiver talk to the controller for initial setup? I originally had the receiver plugged into the wired net (since I assumed the encryption would trip up config via wifi). The controller initially saw it and I configured the SBR for my WPA wifi and pulled the cable. Things were great until I ran into a problem and performed a receiver reset without plugging it back into the wired LAN. The receiver got to the slow flashing red light mode. I think this means it's connected to the network and is waiting for setup. Unfortunately I can't see it on my net. I fear it is associated with the neighbor's open router. So I plugged it into the wired LAN and tried to perform another reset - but the receiver won't reset! Holding the button down does nothing - it still slowly flashes red. I don't see any activity lights on the wired ethernet port. Power cycle does the same thing. Is there another way to reset the SBR to get it back on my wired net? -- jv8 jv8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17749 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48071 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Connection reset by remote host
I, too, get frequent interruptions of internet radio stations. This began right after upgrading (?downgrading?) to SqueezeCenter 7.0. I do have a satellite internet connection, but that worked reliably when using versions 6.0-6.5. I do not believe bpa's explanation is correct. The interruptions occur after 10-30 seconds of listening, not 2 minutes. I believe there is a bug in the SqueezeCenter 7 code that affects only some users (depending on their computer and network hardware).

[slim] library problems with Various Artists
HI, I just bought a Squeezebox Duet and I'm having problems with my library. The albums which has Various artists as artist do not show up as albums under Home Artists Various Artists. I only get those albums, that contain songs with various artists as song artist, but still has an overall Album artist. However, the individual songs from the Various Artists albums are present under the 'All Songs folder in Home Artists Various Artists. They are just not shown as individual albums. Under Home Albums they are all shown. The problem is, most of them are children CDs and have been given that Genre as a tag; however, when Genre Children is picked, an album folder named Various Artist correctly shows up - but it is empty. When the All Albums folder is chosen, all the albums are there as they should - just not in the Various Artists folder Any ideas? In Zune media player, they are showing up correctly.
