[slim] Freezing, slow response - how I resolved it
OK, I have read around the forums looking into why SB3 boxes seem to freeze, tried numerous things to get it working and then when all that failed, what I tried - and at the moment, what has worked for me, though drastic. In a nutshell - rebuild your machine from scratch, patch fully and then reinstall SC - I use 7.2.1 I had a SB3 giving problems - this was a wireless one, but an older SB3 wired only was running fine - and that is over 14Mbps homeplug. I tried the wireless SB3 over the same homeplug network, a direct connection and it still failed. I tried the resets, the Xilinix chip resets, changing the firmware down to the version that came with SC 6.5 and it still failed Connecting to the SN was fine for hours, and indeed any network test and it was fine. I then decided it was dead and purchased as SB-Boom. this had EXACTLY the same problems - every thing is good until you are playing music. I tried another WAP, changing channels, security, changing speeds to be onl b, then g then back to mixed etc I then dug out my old HTPC and installed SC 7.2.1 onto that and ALL my units played OK. I then started to add the same software that was on my exising box and it all worked until I added IIS. Ah, removing and it worked, readding and it failed. Went to my old server and removed IIS, and it still failed. At this point I decided to do a complete rebuild of my old HTPC, repatched it with all the patches, reinstalled SC7.21, Alien BBC, then the other software I used (TVersity, IIS, POPFile, VPOP3 and FileZilla server). Everything was still running fine. It still is even after this months patches from MS. On the old box I tried everything - new drivers, new nic, resetting the IP stack, winsock etc and it still never worked. At that stage I gave up and just rebuilt that machine (which now works fine). the thing that has really thrown me here is the fact that my wired SB3 has never had a problem and the wireless units also failed when connected by wire so I assumed the problem was with the SB3 itself. Only when I got the boom did I really consider the server - it had kind of crossed my mind as a last resort option, but I was really convinced it was OK Cheers -- poyntzj poyntzj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2628 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Hi folks, EMCC Software are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Squidgy for iPhone and iPod Touch from the Apple app store. Price is £4.99 - direct link is http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=296245115mt=8 Feature List: Automatic Server Detection Multiple player support Player controls - shuffle / repeat /sleep / volume / power Music library browsing Artwork display Landscape album view Search Playlist manipulation ( add , reorder, delete ) Internet Music services browsing Wikipedia integration Usage notes: On first startup use the detect server button in the settings screen to automatically configure Squidgy to use your SqueezeCenter. Squidgy scans your server and builds a local database of album titles, artist names and album thumbnails to allow speedy browsing of your music library. This scan can take a couple of minutes depending on the size of your library. Once the scan completes you can browse or search your library. The playlist lives on the back of the Now playing screen. To reorder the playlist just drag and drop items. You can delete one or more items from here too. Player controls live on the now playing screen too. Just tap the album art and they slide in from the top. Set your volume / shuffle / repeat preferences or turn off the current player. To hide the player controls again just tap outside the player control area. In album view rotate the phone left to see the album grid view. Scroll left to right, or pick an album to see the track list. Tap outside the album area to return to the grid view. Use the players option on the main menu to change your current player. Wikipedia takes you straight to the wikipedia page for the currently playing artist. You can also customise a few aspects of Squidgy. If you don't like the default white on grey you can change to more standard iphone colours in the settings menu. You can also configure the default behaviour when clicking on an album here.

I've run a wireless signal strength chack on both of my SB3s and the signal generally sits between 55 and 75%.

I don't lose the connection (although one SB3 seems to be unable to reconnect if I've not used it for a day or two without me re-setting the wireless router - it just won't connect to a wireless network).

I'm not really sure how to interpret Netstumbler so I'm not sure what the speed clumn actually shows (I would be surprised if the 54mps was actual speed). Is this normal ?

Using NetStumbler see what channels are showing as strong signals near you. Your WiFi may be competing with another near by network for the same channel. Channels are 1 to 11, 6 being the most popular as the mfgr default channel. Just changing your channel to a different non-competing channel can solve many WiFi issues and even give you a signal boost, usually changing to ch 1 or ch 11 works best. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55077 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Distortion during loud tracks - my amp is too sensitive - what to do?
cliveb;359831 Wrote: My recollection is that line level input sensitivities around the 100mV mark was quite common back in the 70s. Most devices such as FM tuners and tape decks output fairly modest voltage levels. It was only when CD players arrived on the scene in the 80s that outputs of 1V and 2V became commonplace. 10V was the minimum overload capability you'd expect from a decent input with 100mV sensitivity. For a 2V input, 10V is only a little over 12dB of headroom, which is hardly adequate. hmmm - yes I meant 150 not 250. Many preamps with split-rail supplies use +/-12v so max swing is (theoretically) 24 v pk-pk... I think that these days most line inputs are set to 500mV sensitivity, with a proper CD input being at 2V. Anyway, 187mV is too low for a CD or squeezebox. It will need an attenuator in-line to avoid overloading the input stage IMHO, depending on its gain staging and overload margin (headroom). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...)

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Ok, bought it and tried it. Just so you don't think I am posting as a bought fanboi or anything for the app or for some of the other apps competing: I am not. First impression. Easy to set up, with autosearch it finds the player and you are alive and kickin in a couple of minutes after the app has scanned your library. The interface works really quick and it is actually a Major difference compared to iPeng's web-interface. For me, this is The Major Thing for using a 3rd party remote like the iphone. I think this is the case for most of us out there longing for the iphone to be utilized as the best remote imaginable for the squeezebox. With this said, and expected from my side, I don't really like the Now playing interface. First of all i don't like that the controls and elapsed time is constantly there. My personal view is that the more similar you can make it to the Itunes interface, the more natural and user friendly it would be to use the app. My intuitive approach is trying to sweep the cover to left or right to get to different menues and trying to tap the screen to invoke/remove the control buttons etc. Now neither of this works, rather i have to push the playlist or tap the screen to get a rather not so useful menu as a pop-down. I also would like to be able to forward/rewind on the time-progress-bar for the song in the same way i can increase/decrease the volume by dragging the volume bar left/right. I would also like the multiplayer approach to be improved. As far as i understand this function is not available? I would like to check the squeezeboxes i want to see simultaneously controls for. (if i for example have 5 SB's i would like to be able to check/uncheck some of them to have control over the ones i choose simultaneously). Actually, when looking around i don't find any setting for synchronizing players at all, but i have only used the program for 15 mins now so don't take my points as some kind of 100% accurate judgement. This was my initial thoughts after short usage of the program. The more i think of it, the more two points pop up as the most important onces. Quick navigation and response, which this app is doing great so far. The other thing is quick and easy support for navigating/synchronizing multiple squeezeboxes. So far I don't see/understand how this is done in this app. -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] FLAC format for videos?
I still think it is shortsighted of the SB people not to consider putting together an SB that can handle video as well. I would also be happy with SqueezeCenter streaming video and audio to say a Popcorn Hour.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Hi All, Just quick from me as I have to shoot to the girlfriends place and I'm late :-) I probably haven't looked at all the functionality Music scan Takes a bit of time but not too bad, I noticed from the first scan that some of my most recent added albums weren't there but Squidgy popped up with a message saying it was out of date and they came up on a re-scan, a minor irritant Browsing There is a slight lag in loading album artwork but generally it is quick and the artwork looks good Main Menu I like this, gives all the options in a similar set-up to the controller, its great to see some of the iPhone features being able to be used on a SB set-up such as the scrolling and use of touch keyboard on a search. -Albums Not so sure on the horizontal album view, looks very cluttered to me and I would stick to the vertical view, however I do like clicking on the album and the tracks coming up similar to how the iPod works. Not sure why this doesn't do this on the vertical view ? -Artists Seems to be some differences to the SB set-up in terms of Various Artists being under 'V' as opposed to the top and also if an artist is in a compilation that album is included under the artist, would be good to configure that - Internet Audio Looks good, haven't really had much of a play but noticed that there isn't an entry for my favourites Now Playing/Playlist I actually like this and the way it looks, I like the way that playlists can be viewed and managed and this IMO is easier then on the controller Summary From first impression its looks good and is the kind of app I was hoping we would get for the iPhone, I will be interested to see how it compares to the other 2 and will no doubt purchase all 3 then make a final decision - As I mentioned I've only had a quick look and haven't tried it over a longer period so will send some further thoughts through. Best go, the Dog is getting ready to eat my tea...

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Some settings to check if you are having problems are tucked away under 'Advanced' in the server settings screen. It appears that some of the NAS builds use a different HTTP port by default, so please check this and the CLI port if you are having problems connecting. If you have problems scanning, try setting the 'charset' value to utf8 and see if that helps. This shouldn't be needed on recent 7.3 server builds.
