Re: [slim] The perfect Squeezebox?

Re: [slim] Audioengine W1 and SB Duet conflict?

I suggest you spend some time looking up the old threads discussing the wish list for future products around the time that the Transporter was in development (go back as much as one year from it's release date).

The transporter is totally overengineered. The front panel is useless for most , the double display is not of any great use. The price break tween a TP and a SB is rediculous. The TP coulda had the better dac and all the features of the TP for far far less. To pay huge amounts extra for aesthetics , knobs , thick front panel and silly handles is rediculous.

Re: [slim] Scanner.pm and scanner.exe in windows
The exe is indeed a compiled version of the pl file, also including the required other modules. For windows, you either need the Perl Dev kit to compile changes. Otherwise, you can download ActivePerl from activestate.com. This gives you the ability to run the .pl files directly.

There's a preference ignoreDirRE which isn't exposed in the UI. It's a
regular expression which defines file/folder names which are to be ignored. A
plugin could simply expose that value to the user.

No there is no doubt anymore :). @andyg: Talking about radio paradise, you write: provide an XML metadata file that can be queried on each track change. Do you mean that some sort of event is sent by the server when the track change? If it's what you mean, is it true for every station? I thought that most basic old school internet radio was just an endless mp3 streamed through http with an header at the beginning and data without interruption. Anyway, if you're planning to add support for metadata information for radio through XML, I'll be glad to here about it with more details. Not that I have much time to spend on it, but I'll be glad to convert my quick and dirty not really a plugin code to something cleaner. Many radios (at least all the ones I'm listening to) don't support any kind of metadata. They just rely on old school web broadcasting company that record the radio stream and broadcast it through http without any value added (at least that's how it is in france!). It's just a web pipe for the radio. At the same time, all these radios I'm listening to provide web interface with song title, album title, artist name, url to album cover, year of release. Sometimes, this data is not available (at night for example) and it's interesting to fallback cover with the radio logo. It would be interesting to add some sort of plugin hook for a plugin that would register a stream url / or an url mask and that would return a properly set xml data when asked for song/stream information.

Re: [slim] Custom artwork for internet streams?
Please read up on the Icy metadata protocol if you don't understand how MP3 streaming works. The officially supported version of this will work for stations that support it. WMA stations can also send metadata but there is no defined standard for how it should be formatted. I will be adding at least one official metadata module for a set of WMA stations in Italy that I have documentation for. The code developed for this will include the necessary hooks for your plugin to add other, more ugly, screen-scraping types of metadata modules. I think there is already a bug open for that.

Re: [slim] Just curious: when/why did you get your first Slim/Logitech player?
A couple years ago, I found out about the Roku Soundbridge and snagged one. I wasn't looking for a way to serve my own music, but for a way to listen to Internet radio through the real stereo without having to connect a computer. I loved it so much that I bought another one just for the bedroom. After a while, I decided to try running its server software to play back some of my live music downloads, most of which were (and still are) FLAC. I wasn't so impressed...sound quality was OK, but the lack of true gapless playback really annoyed me. It also bothered me that the forced resampling to 48k destroyed DTS. Still, I loved the little boxes for the radio capability and still think that they're a good deal if that's your primary focus. After a while I heard about the Squeezebox and, when a friend asked what he should get, I told him that I liked the Roku well enough, but that it looked like the Squeezebox was better. So he bought one and began raving about it, which in turn got me to give in and buy one...and then another. I gave away one of the Rokus and still use the other in another room. The downside to the Squeezebox is that I suddenly got obsessed with getting all of my live, rare stuff (CD-DA, FLAC, SHN) onto a server. So I had to spend big bucks for a NAS and am still working on getting all the music onto it. I'm also loading up a few normal (i.e., official/mainstream) CDs, but my collection has got to be in the 2,500 range, so I'm definitely not making the same effort to convert everything. I love that I can listen to downloads without all the annoyance and unpleasant additional sounds or interrutions that can happen when trying to listen through the computer. I also appreciate that SqueezeCenter runs nicely on a cheap Ubuntu box, so I can have my Windows machine do all its normal Windowsy stupidity without interrrupting the music. -- atrocity atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53831 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Q about putting SC on its own Static IP?
Right now all the devices in my house, including my SC machine and all my SB's, are hooked up to one router. This router is hooked into my DSL modem with a static IP. For reasons unrelated to my SB/SC stuff, I'm thinking about changing things by putting a hub into the DSL modem, and then hooking my SC machine into the hub and giving it its own static IP, (with my various SB's still hooked up to the router, which would still have a static IP and be hooked into the same hub). Here's my question: with the router hooked to the same hub as the SC machine, would my SB network traffic (from streaming music) stay inside my house and off my DSL connection (routing just through the hub) or would it necessarily head out onto my DSL connection subnet? Obviously, I need to avoid the latter situation.

Re: [slim] Q about putting SC on its own Static IP?
A hub (or more likely, you'd be installing a switch) doesn't do routing, so the Squeezebox would be still be on the same subnet, just as if you'd plugged it into the router itself.

You're talking about putting the server _outside_ of your firewall/router? Are you sure you could make that work? Most people don't have multiple public IP addresses given to them by by their ISP. You're worried about the route that traffic would take between to your server and your internal clients, like SBs and a web browser. It shouldn't have to travel across the Internet if the routing is correctly configured. You'd be much better off placing the server behind the router and using port forwarding to allow outside traffic to contact the server. That may be difficult to make secure, but it's infinitely more secure than leaving the server on the outside of your router. If your router isn't capable of doing this then you might want to invest in a firewall/router that can. A nice little unit for about $150 is the Zyxel ZyWALL 2 Plus: http://www.yesmicro.com/Item.aspx?sku=71286DTD For implementing security, it depends on what you want to accomplish. With the ZyWALL you can open the ports and allow connections from only a single IP address (or a subnet or even an address range). Say to permit yourself to connect to the server from work. You could also use a VPN tunnel through the firewall, which might give you more flexibility to connect from different locations. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54008 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Controller or not
erland;350133 Wrote: Basically you can do any modifications you like for your personal use but you can't redistribute them beside sending them privately to Logitech for inclusion in a future release. And if Logitech asks you for your modifications, you must hand them over, and grant Logitech a broad range of intellectual property rights to your personal changes, including license to sell your work to others. The main limitation with this in my opinion is: - You can't port SqueezePlay to third party hardware and redistribute it without permissions from Logitech. This kind of make sense since Logitech really only earn money on the hardware, so it isn't strange that they like to avoid competitors making money on their free software. ... When you think about it, the licensing is pretty logical. Logitech *could* modify the license to allow public discourse code sharing while disallowing binary distribution for non-Logitech hardware and distribution of source code changes derivatives designed to allow the software to run on non-Logitech hardware. I don't know why they don't do that, as it'd give them plenty of leverage against both corporate hardware competitors and hobbyist leaching (unwanted iPhone, iPod Touch, and Windows Mobile ports). I imagine they may see this as a support issue -- they may fear taking support requests from customers running 3rd-party Controller firmware, and have decided that a slower, more expensive development process for the Controller is worth the expected support savings of not having to first ask users if they're running the official firmware (and to deny support to those who aren't). I should note that Logitech has begun to publish more information on the applet APIs (for those who're content with the underlying software), and has even re-released some Lua sample applet code to the public domain! So they seem serious about wanting 3rd party applets, even as they maintain a tight grip on their core Lua code. Most parts of SqueezeCenter is GPL but it can't be used with third party hardware players anyway so there is no reason to restricting the license. SqueezePlay would be possible to use with third party hardware similar to Controller, so restricting the license makes sense from a business point of view. SqueezeCenter is very usable with non-Logitech hardware. For more than a year, I used a Hauppauge video client that I bought new for $40 USD to play my music thanks to Slimp3 emulation software. Roku used to advertise SlimServer support as a feature of their networked music players. It'll be interesting to see if projects like Moose and iPeng will make common devices like the iPod Touch and iPhone/Windows Mobile/Android handsets viable challengers to the Controller. I think there's a real risk that the SqueezePlay license will stifle Controller improvements and make those other devices more attractive to carry, costing them some sales. I personally carry a wifi-equipped PDA around most of the time, but still reach for the Controller because it's so much easier to use.

The Apple licensing is IMHO even worse than the Logitech license, it requires you to purchase a Apple computer with Leopard OS to even be able to compile the code and it requires you to pay additionally $99 to be able to even install the compiled code on your own iPod/iPhone hardware. The iPeng skin version which is easier to modify for a third party developer is a bit too slow to challenge the Controller.
