Re: [slim] Artwork resizing - could it be managed better?
Thanks for the responses Michael. To answer the question around what I mean by 'more could/should be done during the initial scan', I would propose the following: 1) Provide a set of options which configures the resampling and caching of the various artwork sizes during the initial scan. Knowing my RadyNAS struggles with the resizing, I would pre-scan the 56x56, 154x154, 186x186 and 240x240 images which are used by the controller - plus possbily the web ones as well so I can access the settings page within a reasonable timescale. The initial scan would take a long time, but this could be scheduled overnight 2) Resize and cache the standard icons (e.g. no album cover, favourites etc.) during the initial scan. At the moment, I'm not sure if they're even cached on first use. 3) Run the logic to determine artwork location for each track (embedded tag vs. folder.jpg etc.) during the initial scan. This would also fix the issue reported by EliteAV in the following thread where this per-track check causes delays in browsing albums. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45121 Add to this the ability to share cached artwork across tracks so the resizing doesnt have to occur multiple times (as per the bug you mention) and I think the overall responsiveness of the controller would be far better. For me, it would make the readynas solution workable without having to use the degraded artwork option.

Your advice here is appreciated. Is there a way to block the rfi? I realize that coax is not the correct solution. Perhaps a better or safer solution would be to take a single run from the power supply to the attic and then inject it into the 4 unused wires in the CAT5 to feed each SB. I could intercept the CAT5 just before it disappears into the roof-ceiling union. Oh, I have the regulated power supply and no other use for it.

Usage of the genre tag, which is not analysis related, is a flag you can set (which restricts the mix to the genre of the seed). technojunkie;309692 Wrote: However if, for example, I select a rock ballad as the seed song, I get a lot of songs in the mix that are not by rock artists and certainly not rock ballads or anything similar in style or mood. Am I expecting too much from MusicIp or do I need to do some more fine tuning of the mix settings and, if so, which ones ? It sounds like you want a pretty restrictive mix, so perhaps you should set the Genre flag to Yes to restrict the genre (then you should only get Rock in the above example). In addition, increase the number for Style. The default is 0, which means to ignore the seed style. (Note that style is undefined). For Variety, what I've found is that with a variety of 0, you can create a mix from a seed and get 10 tracks, then immediately create a mix from that same seed and you'll get the exact same tracks again. But if you have Variety set to a higher number, it will vary the mix a little each time you seed with the same track. My default settings are Variety of 2 and style of 20, no genre restriction. With those settings, if I pick a track by Suzanne Vega that's just her and her guitar, I will get a mix that is largely (but not entirely) acoustic-based and will almost exclusively feature female vocals. I hope some of this helps! I love MusicIP mixer. I've said it before: I wouldn't have bought a Squeezebox if it weren't for that program.

gsawdy;310119 Wrote: Thank you for your reply iPhone, when the house was being built I ran lots of wires for a complete Linn system. At that time I didn't know anything about computers as a source nor Squeezeboxes. Installing a server/squeeze system will save a lot of , is more versitile, and probably give better sound. Most rooms I can get to from either the basement or the attic but I've got a couple of rooms where the roof/ceiling comes down low on the walls and there is no access to run more wires. I need to install the SB3 on the wall with no visible wiring, so wall warts are a no no. I appreciate your concern for fire issues. I had planned on installing 2 amp in-line fuses both in the basement and at the SB3. The RFI issue I hadn't thought about and don't know how much weight to attach to it. Your advice here is appreciated. Is there a way to block the rfi? I realize that coax is not the correct solution. Perhaps a better or safer solution would be to take a single run from the power supply to the attic and then inject it into the 4 unused wires in the CAT5 to feed each SB. I could intercept the CAT5 just before it disappears into the roof-ceiling union. Oh, I have the regulated power supply and no other use for it. It's an Acopian A series so it is far better than the wall wart. In Edit: The cable is labelled Coleman 32041 RG6/U Quad Shield 18AGW (It's a funny looking 8, but I think it's an eight.) And the CAT5 is shielded. Should the CAT shield be connected anywhere? or just float? Well it looks like this was a study in time management. The Coax cable can't power more then one Squeezebox. Its maximum current rating is 2.3 amps and just one SB3 is close to maxxing that out. The circuit would have to be a parallel circuit so that the voltage would stay constant at 5VDC and the current would vary with the load. Once the second SB3 was turned on, the current demand would exceed the rating of the Coax. Do not even think about using CAT5 to power even one SB3 (most CAT5 is rated at less the half an Amp). As to your shielding question on the CAT5, it depends on if it is really shielded or not. Fully shielded CAT5 has a metal encased RJ45 plug on each end so the whole cable is grounded to the chassis it is connected to. If the CAT5 does not have these encased RJ45s, it could have a full-length shield cover but it would not be grounded so it would not reject EMI. One last note, a two-amp fuse in the basement will not work because the current will increase with each SB3 added to the circuit. As an example, if you had wiring able to carry the load for three SB3s in parallel, the fuse at the supply would be a 10-amp fuse and each SB3 would have an inline 2-amp fuse. Possible solution (involving more work) would be to make separate drops with 16AWG two-conductor wire assuming 50-foot runs. Use an inline fuse in each run at the power supply end and connect all the fused leads to the PS positive terminal and the set the output voltage for about 5.5VDC. At 2 amps for each unit with 50 feet of 16AWG you should end up with about a half-volt line drop. Smaller cheaper wire could be used, but the longer the run the larger the voltage drop. Of course all this is using the theoretical numbers, your mileage WILL vary. Most times it is all right to use the next smaller gauge (larger number)if current handling ability and voltage drop are acceptable. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48668 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SC7.0.1 scanning issue (various artists multiple albums)
I've spent at least one full day now trying to sort out issues I was having with my QNAP (upgrading to SC7). I'd encountered some scanning issues with multiple disc albums not being merged (so far all other versions have worked fine on this front). I'd also upgraded my windows installation and found that when I redid the scan (clear and rescan) to my surprise the same issue occurred. Please not this was only for multiple albums in the various artists folder. Albums in individual artist folders were handled correctly. After downgrading to 7.0 again I have now successfully completed scans on both windows and qnap :) I've also now upgraded to 7.0.1 again with the 7.0 scan in place on both the qnap and xp machines and the album count is correct on both. I don't have log files for this error but believe it should be straightforward to recreate for anyone that wants to (install 7.0.1 and clear and rescan everything). I hope this helps others out there that are experiencing a similar issue. -- BBear BBear's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11612 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48687 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Maximum amps on RG6
I keep going back to the fact that you are planning to hang this on the wall. That is fine, and you are talking about getting power to the unit. What you are not talking about is all the other required items. One can not just power an SB3 and hang it on the wall. It has to be wired to Ethernet or talk wirelessly to a network. Next it has to be connected to a HT Receiver/IAmp/Amp or Powered Speakers. The SB3 is not a Sonos and does not have a server or built in amp. So there are going to be other wires or other devices that need power at the SB3 install location. How are these issues being handled? What are you going to be playing the music over (speakers or powered speakers)? My neighbor has two things that might apply. In his basement he has cut a hole in his wall and mounted a plasic cut-in box to set an SB3 into. On the other side of the wall is a utility closet that has his server, wireless router, a Denon Receiver, and the wires coming from the four (2 Thiel PowerPlane 2.1 in-wall and 2 HighPlane 1.2 ceiling) Speakers. This is a very neat install. Only power and stereo RCAs come into the back of the cut-in box. Upstairs he has a very large Atomic Wall clock what only uses a wall wart (no battery option). He put a power strip in his attic, drilled a hole to drop the DC lead off the wall wart down the inside of the wall to a hole through the wall powering the clock. Something like this might work. In my home, I installed a chandilier lift. The power was already there for the light, but I needed a power source to run the lift. It voids the warranty if I borrow the power from the light circuit. So I found a 15 amp circuit for wall outlets and extended the circuit with Romex and installed a metal junction box to code with an outlet. If there is room above the ceiling where you want to install the SB3 on the wall, you might be able to do the same thing. Extend the AC with an outlet, plug the wall wart into the new outlet and drop the DC pigtail of the wall wart down inside the wall. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48668 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Duet Receiver Break Up with 85% signal !
Hi All, How comes my Duet Receiver breaks up even with signal strength at 80-85% ? It happens on both my SB3 and Duet Receiver. I've tried changing wifi channels, switching off wifi encryption, moving router, twiddling router aerial, disabling anti-virus etc etcie many hours wasted. What I dont understand is why I'm having these problems now? My old SB3 used to work 100% except when microwave was on - now my new setup barely works. Seems as though the culprit could be squeezecenter. It seems like if you skip around tracks and albums the software just kind of stops talking, gets the hump and works again either a few seconds later, or maybe never. I dont see how it could be wireless router as it used to be fine (netgear 834G with latest firmware). I also have latest controller firmware and latest squeezecenter. The only thing that seems to fix it is running Duet CABLED - but then if I wanted to run 5e all over the house I wouldn't have gone for a Duet would I, and I wouldn't have upgraded. Dont particularly want to change router when it's been fine for 2 years, or cable my house. Any ideas?

[slim] Wireless failure after 7.0.1 upgrade
Hi all, I've been running a wireless squeezebox version3 for a couple of years and it's always been fine. I've kept it current with each release of the software (once I've spotted it's been released!!!) A week ago I downloaded 7.0.1, installed the server, ran the firmware upgrade and immediately problems started. I couldn't get a stable wireless connection at all. When I run it over the wireless I can go through the usual process to connect to the network. The DHCP server gives the box and IP address, it finds the squeezeserver, and I can even begin to play a track. After a few seconds or minutes the track restarts, or freezes. Intermittently the box reports that it can't find a squeezeserver. This weekend I've run it wired using the ethernet connector, which works fine. To prove that it's not the server I've run the pc both wired on ethernet and wireless. The result is the same. So I'm convinced it's the box's wireless capability now. To recap, I believe the latest version of the firmare (that downloads with 7.0.1) isn't working. (BTW I've done the firmware upload via ethernet to ensure it ran to completion) Anyone experience the same? If not, do you know how can I revert the box to an earlier firmware version? It might be as simple as reinstalling an earlier server, but I don't want to risk it without some confirmation, thanks for the help. I hope I can get this sorted. I've been thinking about getting a couple more for around the house but until I can sort this, that idea's been put on the back burner.

Why not just have an electrician install a recessed horizontal AC outlet and mount the SB3 over top of it on the wall much like people do with plasma TVs? The outlet is still smaller than the SB3 footprint and the SB3 would be flush to the wall hiding the outlet. I bet it could be done fairly easily as long as there is AC somewhere in the vicinity. (The obvious alternative going through everyone's mind is to just place the SB3 on a table somewhere near an existing outlet but I assume you have good reasons for having ruled that out.) -- lanierb lanierb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48668 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Various Artists Logic... is it necessary?
Philip Meyer;309981 Wrote: I could understand the effect you are seeing if you are trying to browse albums ordered by year, because what year would an album be sorted under? When I browse to an album that has different years in the tracks, it shows up as multiple albums regardless of whether I'm browsing through the Squeezebox or Moose. An example is the Cinema of Serge Gainsbourg, some loving soul tagged each song with the year it was released. So the first 3 tracks have the year listed as 1959, the next two are from 1960, and so on. In Moose this shows up under the artist but as multiple albums with the same name so there are a dozen Cinema of Serge Gainsbourg albums each clumped by year. I tried to find the conversation which I was having in the tagging forums, but the archive is very small there. People there told me this was expected behavior as SqueezeCenter interprets the year tag as Album year, not Song year. If this is a problem in my tagging or there is someway to get around this, like it sounds you have, I'd like to follow up in another thread. If you could help.

Not rebooted, but was hibernated. Might've added music and did a new/changed scan, but am not sure if this was before or after I closed the GUI. I only know that umpteen attempts to play mixes failed, until I (re)started the GUI on a hunch, at which point they started to be playable. Finally, are you running MiP headless/SC on Linux or Windows? If it's Windows, I'm going to be controversial and recommend you consider Linux - one thing about Linux is things either work or they don't, and once working they keep working, there is no middle road. Well, at the moment the PC that's acting as our SC server is a general workhorse, and has to run Windows for umpteen reasons. I've wondered about getting another box to act as a dedicated SC server, and Linux might be an option; but I have bad memories of how much work it took to get Mandrake working on our old PC. Of course, things must've improved considerably since then; but I haven't had the need or the inclination to try again... yet. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter won't populate album art
More Information.
I have a directory called Metallica/And Justice for All with the 9
songs, plus folder.jpg.
On my Squeezebox controller - when I browse by album, it shows no album
art.. when I go all the way into actually play the song, it finally
displays the art, plus it creates a NEW jpg by the name of
AlbumArt_{0B6BE3A3-9D5D-488B-8802-69C8D696E85F}_Large. But still,
even after that, under album view on the controller it doesn't show the
artwork.
Should I just open a trouble case with Logitech?

Keep in mind the adding a dot-G device to a dot-N network does NOT have the same massive performance penalty that adding a dot-B device does to a dot-G network. The SB really doesn't need the bandwidth and as Pat mentioned, dot-N is still not standardized. I'm sure there will be a future device that is upgraded, but if the dot-G support is your only downside then I'd say go ahead and pull the trigger and get a SB.

Is the squeezebox still the way to go? Everything else I've read about it seems to be great .. Thanks! There is no support for 802.11N anywhere! Each company is using their own version of the future possible Standard (read 802.11N is not yet a Standard). One company's N router works with another company's N card only because both fall back to 802.11G! At this time if one wants to run N, I strongly recommend buying all the same brand WiFi (like a Linksys router and wireless NIC). This is currently why Slim Devices only uses G. If one has an N router already, the Transporter, SB3, and Duet will work with it fine because the Router will fall back to G. As far as going with another Network Media Player, be my guest. This is the Slim Devices Forum and most folks here are going to tell you to get a Squeezebox. It is a better unit and less money. You are not keyholed into using an amp that is in the box plus you can use any computer as your server (or build your own if you know what I mean). ROKU is crap (I gave mine away, not even bothering to list it on EBAY). The Sonos is expensive. And in my opinion, have you all boxed in with what you can do and can't do. And they have no Plugins. The Squeezebox is a much better value and has so many possibilities. For the price of a full base Sonos setup $999, you can buy a complete five room setup with a Duet and four receivers! And you get to choose the amps and speakers. These are hard choices picking between these two systems. Squeezebox being a better value, more flexible, the Plugins (check the WiKi), and open source makes it an easier choice in my book and in my experience. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48708 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
