[slim] Possible fix for "Delayed Write Failed"
Since many of us use external USB drives on windows XP I'm sure there are some of you that have seen this error. I've searched and tried many things and it still failed. There are many reasons that can cause this but I think a common one, was what I ran into and finally fixed. The problem is most folks set their drive spin down time less than their hibernate or standby time. The problem with this is, when the computer goes to standby or hibernate the drive needs to be spun up to do some house keeping. The USB drives can spin up rather slow and might not have as tight a hand shake as an internal IDE drive (which this problem rarely happens on). So all I did was set the drive spin down time to be greater than the hibernate time. I could of also set never. It's just a habit to set drives and monitor to be less than standby / hibernate. In reality the drive will normally always spin when actively serving squeeze center. Having it spin down a little sooner than hibernate served little purpose. Also when the system restores from standby or hibernate the last state for the drive is a spinning state. Well any ways this trivial change seemed to fix it. This seems so much simpler than playing with drivers, cache sizes and hotfixes. You'll also see "hibernate" often refernced with the problem. My WOL (Wake On Lan) server is finally 100% solid. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian G68ADV (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP6000 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49700 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Forget player/Reset player?
This would be handy for playing remote streams. I use this all of the time and noticed that with 7.0, SC will disconnect the stream shortly after playing has completed. This results in "winamp" being removed from the player list. If I'm not paying attention, I then end up adding music to the play list of another player, potentially hijacking a playlist my kids may be listening to at home. (It's a surprise when Raffi is interrupted by Porcupine Tree or Miles Davis. It's funny at first, but gets old). The way I work around this is I hit play again, which reactivates the stream by playing the last-played song again. While this is playing, I browse what I'd like to play next and press play. The other day, the last song played in the playlist was very short - 15 sec. or so. This method wouldn't work. Eventually I realized that I could pause the stream and follow my same work-around. The best thing would be that this didn't happen where the player disappears from the player list because the playlist is done. Alternatively, if I could tell it to forget the player and restart with another stream, I could avoid the issue with the short file. -- maggior maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49679 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I didn't mean to imply it needs a dedicated server but rather a computer that, as far as the SB is concerned, is a server that is there when it's needed. My point was that turning on the SB should not ever be followed by the realization that the server is not running since the illusion of an audio appliance is then gone. > If Squeezecenter is set to run as a service on the 'family' desktop, > then it's only one extra power button to push if the server is off.

[slim] Why would SB2 start disconnecting all of a sudden?
I've been using my SB2 happily for a while now and all of a sudden it keeps disconnecting from both Squeezecenter/Squeezenetwork. I repeatedly have to go through the network setup (without making any changes) to reconnect. Looking at the 'Current Settings', everything looks correct...MAC, IP, SSID, etc all look right. I noticed one thing I never noticed before, when connected to SC the SB's IP shows up as the one given by my router (using Static DHCP) but when connected to SN it shows up as my router's external IP. Don't know if that's new or has always been the case. Also no changes have been made anywhere, router config, nothing.

A dedicated server may be ideal for some, but I personally don't see the need to maintain a separate box when my desktop is on _all_ of the time someone is home, and a lot of the time nobody is home as well. If Squeezecenter is set to run as a service on the 'family' desktop, then it's only one extra power button to push if the server is off. My GF and I are self-professed freepacman.org addicts, which combined with one of us being a SD forum addict and the other a myspace addict pretty much ensures that the server's power button will always be pushed before the power button of the Sb remote. -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49688 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The way I got the better half to start using SB3 was I bought a Harmony 1000 and now it is a one button operation for her to listen to music (even if the TV is already on). All she now has to do is tap "Digital Music" and the Receiver comes on switched to the SB3 input and the SB3 comes on (and anything else not needed that is on goes off). She picks her playlist or goes random and is on her way. She has even started using the Controller to make changes. I came home the other day and she had the dinner party background music playlist already running for the quests we were having over. Make it easy to use, show then how easy it can be, and people start using it. With as many devices as you have, I would have a full time music server running SC and never turn it off. Then it is always ready to use for her. Lastly, I personally don't believe you can complain about anything. After all, she let you buy a Transporter that she does not understand or care to use. It would be hard for me to find any fault with anybody that would allow that. My better half took almost 10 years before there was any difference in a Sony Boombox and my main system. She thought it was wasted money IE music is music. I told her sound is one thing, reproduced music was a whole other game. She now can't stand listening to her friends rack system when we visit.

Though, in that case, you may have to leave it connected to SN when you turn it off for usability. My wife enjoys the SB and uses it all of the time - mainly to play music for the kids. She even knows how to shuffle! She likes it because is alleviates the clutter of CDs sitting around. I love it because I don't have to go to the basement to pick a musical selection from my CD collection. Other posters have good suggestions - modify the menu to simplify it and put Rhapsody on top. If fear of messing up the PCs or network by pressing the incorrect buttons is an issue, reassure her as best you can that she can't do any irrevocable damage to the unit or network.

I don't have a problem doing all the setup stuff on the computer to /configure/ a Squeezebox but if it does not then become a transparent audio appliance that can be controlled solely by its remote then it's a waste of time (literally) - you might as well just use Winamp and connect the computer's audio to your amp.

For the OP: You are an enthusiast, she's not. If she doesn't tell you to turn it off when you listen, and if she doesn't complain about what you buy when you buy it, I don't see how there's any problem here. You're happy and she's happy, no reason to expect your SO to have the same hobbies or interests you have. So long as you can do what you want, you're where you want to be. You each have a different way to listen to what you like, and so be it. It's about the same in my house. On a related matter, I love going to live music. My wife never pays any attention to any of the venue schedules. Yet, if I find a show I want to go to, she's always ready to go and seems to enjoy them as much as I do. I've missed shows I would have wanted to go to, in cases when she has seen the announcement and I missed it, and she didn't mention anything to me about it. It just usually doesn't occur to her to check schedules and get tickets.

The "forget player" option has been removed in SC7. You can try a factory reset of the SB3.

Re: [slim] WAF ( wife acceptance factor ) I don't get it
Here's how to translate SlimDevices geek joy into layman's terms: It's a networked music player! Translation: If the network's not up, the device is completely useless. You can control it from your web browser! Translation: Ignore this, you can still use a remote. So for maximum acceptance, leave the computer on and show them how to use the remote. After this, it should be no more hassle to use an SB3 than the Sansa player. They don't want to mess with a computer every time they want to listen to music, and I personally agree with that sentiment 100%. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49688 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] WAF ( wife acceptance factor ) I don't get it
My wife just bought a portable dock station for her Sansa Rhapsody player. At times I use Rhapsody as well on my SD equipment. I have two SB3's , a Duet and Transporter wirelessly networked throughout the house. She says she doesn't want to play around with the SD player and turning on PC's, instead she just wants to listen to music. I have showed her Squeezenetwork and using Rhapsody within it as well. Yet she still feels imtimidated , has anyone else encountered this with their wives, girlfriends etc. If so, I wonder what SD/Logitech needs to do to turn their equipment from geekware to mainstream. I'm guessing an instant on /play mode would help here. BTW... I love all the pieces of SD equipment that I own.

How about 'forcing' DISCNUMBER tag (through mp3tag) on mp3 files. That works for me as long as the album is not a (SC recognized) compilation. So, in the: -directory structure: /Pink Floyd/The Wall (CD1)/ /Pink Floyd/The Wall (CD2)/ -All tracks tagged with ALBUM=The Wall, ARTIST=Pink Floyd -tracks from CD1 tagged with DISCNUMBER=1 -tracks from CD2 tagged with DISCNUMBER=2 -setting to treat multi disc as a single album checked This works fine (for both mp3 and flac files) - The Wall shows only once in the album list that is. The problem, is when album is a compilation (as detected by SC). It gets into the Various Artists, but gets listed as many times as there are directories containing it (so in case of Best of Blues, it shows 5 times - and album art is displayed only for the directory containing folder.jpg) K -- slimkid Where does the light go when you turn the switch off? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iAj2aPdQnk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvMNuuFSvN0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDRhRv4q_SI http://youtube.com/watch?v=nlrpe8Ig5m8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=dC9tGlwPln8 slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49639 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Think of it this way: if you have two tracks in different directories, how will SC know that these are two tracks from the same album, as opposed to two tracks from albums with the same name? It used to be (before 6.5 I believe) that you had to give SC a list of "Common Album Titles" which didnt work all that well (ie, you had to tell it 'Best of', 'Greatest Hits', 'Acoustic', 'MTV', etc). Now it uses the "they are in different directories, so they must be different albums" as a clue. This breaks when you have multidisc sets in different directories... so the override for that is to use TPOS to say "this is disc 1, that one is disc 2... same album just different directories." -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49639 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Controller Wireless Reception
Laptop usually have their antenna in the screen which is vertical when in use. SBR antenna will be smaller but also is normally horizontal. This means the router antenna being vertical - the signal field will be "seen" by laptop better than SBR. Try putting SBR on its side and change orientation to see if there are differences in signal quality. Try placing the router closer to ceiling as this will also ensure signal will not encounter as much furniture etc compared to a router at or near ground level. I also have problems with where broadband enters house so I used Homeplug from modem to router to enable the wireless router to be placed more central. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48985 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You need to do this via Squeezenetwork (one time only) by logging into the Squeezenetwork webui, from memory it's something like Accounts, Last.fm, then enter your Last.fm details and authorise your account by following the link.

Re: [slim] Controller Wireless Reception
I am in a fairly large apartment. My router is at the opposite end of the apt from where the Squeezebox is located. Laptops work fine in the same location, and the Squeezebox itself would get about a 50% signal if set to the default power setting. At 50%, I experienced a fair number of dropouts, and the controller barely worked at all. BTW, Logitech replaced my controller, so in theory I am using one without any hardware issue. Of course, for the amount of $ I've spent on routers and various non-functional range extenders, I could have had the place wired. -- miguelk miguelk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6394 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48985 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Can we get a better understanding of the layout of the building in which you are having issues, along with the location of the access point and the materials from which the building is constructed. At what distance does the controller drop out? How many walls? Do you have a laptop that works reliably at the same distance / place?

Re: [slim] Best practices: SqueezeCenter (flac) to iPod
For Linux users, I've found MP3FS to be a very elegant solution to this problem. You point MP3FS at a directory full of FLACs, and it creates a virtual directory full of MP3s. Only the MP3s don't exist anywhere on a disk, but are transcoded on-the-fly from the FLACs. Only downside to this approach is that it's pretty resource-intensive operation. -- cooppw02 cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49392 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
