Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store

2008-11-16 Thread munkivelli

I bought the app and have tried it out.  My uses for my Squeezebox are
almost exclusively Internet Radio and Rhapsody.  I don't really stream
much music from my computer's hard drive, so I didn't even bother to
upload my library to Squidgy.  This is great for the Internet Radio
browsing and Rhapsody integration.  All the features I need are
essentially here, but I ran into these bugs/feature requests, which
hopefully can be looked into for the next update.  If any of these have
been addressed already, please ignore, since I didn't take the time to
read this entire thread.:)

1. It would be cool if we could disable automatic checks to see if the
database is up to date every time Squidgy connects to the server.  

2. Hitting the Done button from the Now Playing screen takes you back
to the main menu instead of the page you were last on when you went to
the Now Playing screen.  A back button would be a nice feature, so if I
am adding songs to my playlist from Rhapsody, for example, and I want to
go to the Now Playing screen to adjust the volume.  I adjust the volume,
and press Done and i'm dumped back to the main menu instead of the
Rhapsody menu.  I'm not sure how easy this is to do from a programming
standpoint, but it would add a lot of convenience to the program.

3. Favorites don't get imported from Squeezecenter.  This would be an
excellent thing to add.  I keep a lot of my favorite radio stations
bookmarked in Favorites.  

4. The Search function crashes the app every time I use it.  Not a
dealbreaker for me since I never really used it, but I happened to try
it for grins and it didn't want to play nice.

That's all I've come up with so far, but overall, I'm quite pleased
with what's here.:)

[slim] What REALLY happens end-to-end with Apple Lossless files?

2008-11-16 Thread AndrewFG

I have 200GB of music ripped to .M4A files using iTunes Apple Lossless
encoding (alac), that I stream via SqueezeCenter to a Transporter and
output to my power amp using the Transporter's variable outputs. 

Sometimes I get the feeling that the playback is rather shrill, and I
am trying to investigate possible causes.

What is the exact end-to-end signal path when using M4A alac encoded
files?
As I understand it, alac files are not decoded natively in the
Transporter? So is it true that SqueezeCenter converts alac to flac and
sends that to the Transporter? Does the Transporter then convert flac to
some kind of raw binary bitstream? And does the Transporter then apply
the variable volume control settings in the digital domain before the
signal is converted to the variable analog output signal?

If so, then it seems that there is a lot of digital processing going on
in real time, in at least two different CPUs, that gives plenty of
opportunities for rounding errors, timing errors, error correction
artifacts, and jitter to creep in. (Not to mention any prior artifacts
introduced by iTunes in the ripping process).

Did anyone do proper end-to-end tests on the path CD - iTunes - alac -
flac - volume - dac in real time, real world conditions? Can one be
sure that the process is REALLY lossles? Any thoughts?

Re: [slim] Streaming to Windows Mobile 6.1 device

2008-11-16 Thread Grizzly

Thanks for the reply,

I have tried everything again double checking all the steps as
suggested.

Everything does seem to be 'going through the motions' but no sound.  I
am still unable to adjust the volume slider in the player window and it
defaults to the lowest setting (1 segment).  Is there something i can
do manually here to see if this is the issue?

I have looked in the server log and there doesn't appear to be any
messages.

I have a gut feeling the issue is with media player streaming? Is there
any test i can do at the command line or otherwise to check what it is
being stream or not?

If i haven't made it clear this is all on a pc on the internal network,
at the momment rather than a mobile 
Any help appreciated.

 with all those millions CPU's I get so many rounding errors and

[slim] Unusual request? filter my music for lossless format?

2008-11-16 Thread lreinstein

I am using the Apple Time Capsule as my music server and it is working
out fairly well.  I rip my music with iTunes into apple lossless (ALAC)
but also have older files, AAC files and conversions of the ALAC files
into smaller 128Kbps formats to sync my IPODS.   This seems to work
pretty well since I can sync to specific playlists I have made for the
IPOD music.  It is labor intensive but it works and I have low patience
for learning new music software other than iTunes. 

HERE IS MY PROBLEM/QUESTION:   I use SB3 as a source for my high
quality music system in my home.  I have pointed the Squeezecenter
directly to my music files and have scanned all my music on the Time
Capsule.  (I stopped using the iTunes TAB but have it scan the music
library directly each night).HOWEVER, when I select an album to
play, it has duplicate copies in the 2 formats ...the ALAC and the AAC
or MPEG.   Thus when I play an album it repeats the songs and this is
annoying.

Is there any way to tell SC to only play one format, or filter out
lower bit rates?   Or even to sort by the kind of format?   

Any other ideas ?   

thanks so much.

Larry

When you are doing the conversion to 128k why not just set it up so
those 128k files are saved in a different folder (not scanned by SC)? 

SC folder = lossless
iPod folder = 128k

Just a (probably stupid) question, are you trying to stream via wifi or

If iTunes is introducing artifacts while ripping to ALAC, then it's
broken. Simple as that. Ripping to a lossless format then transcoding
to another lossless format will still be lossless. No additional audio
processing is being done in that process by SqueezeCenter.

This is not an unusual request at all. I think SC should have a way to 
add 'control' files to directory that contain instructions to override

That would add a lot of flexibility in maintaining a music library.

 some kind of raw binary bitstream? And does the Transporter then apply
 the variable volume control settings in the digital domain before the
 signal is converted to the variable analog output signal?
 
 If so, then it seems that there is a lot of digital processing going on
 in real time, in at least two different CPUs, that gives plenty of
 opportunities for rounding errors, timing errors, error correction
 artifacts, and jitter to creep in. (Not to mention any prior artifacts
 introduced by iTunes in the ripping process).
 
 Did anyone do proper end-to-end tests on the path CD - iTunes - alac -
 flac - volume - dac in real time, real world conditions? Can one be
 sure that the process is REALLY lossles? Any thoughts?
If the definition of real time is while the signal is transcoded to
SPDIF, in other words synchronous and subject to clock errors, then
no, there's no real-time processing anywhere up to SPDIF.

In fact, the only real-time processing is this very transcoding
FLAC/WAV - SPDIF.
All the rest (reading from HD, transcoding ALAC to FLAC/WAV, sending
through the network, receiving from the network, reconstructing the
FLAC/WAV stream) are background processes, immune to clock. So,
theoritically, there can be only be software errors, no jitter or other
digital sound artifacts.

That is why choice is essential. Some people have combined systems for

to the latter. Sure, the cinema system should be able t play music and
be synched to the music system whenever I need it. But the music system
is just for music for me. That way someone else can watch TV while I
immerse myself in music.

I think we are both right - you do need the near invisible SBR-slike
device, and then there is also a genuin need for a next gen SB3, which
is what this topic was about. And of course the while area of remotes,
where I would contend that something like the Harmony 1000 begs to
replace the SBC: it is more flexible, it has a bigger, nicer touch
display... it does everything the SBC wants to do, only better and for
more devices. For about the same price if one checks the market, too...

I don't speak iTunes. But with flac, its trivial to prove its really
lossless. Take a tune, compress it with flac, then uncompress it to a
new name/file. Compare the bits.

I've done it, and its lossless. Sometimes, the uncompressed file has a
partial block of zeros that the original does not have. But zeros are
ignored, so the content is identical. Literally and provable.

I meant that the Harmony provides some of the clues to the future,
rather than it having the capability to already act as a SBC. To my
knowledge, the Harmony 1000 is not WiFi enabled, nor does it have the
capability to receive information at the required high rate - it is
good at unidirectional control towards the device. The SBC UI requires
it to be bidirectional. 

But something like the Harmony, or an iPhone like device (as many ask
for) would be a great thing in the future.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store

2008-11-16 Thread socistep

Evening All,

1. This has already been covered but one of the limitations was the
inability not to be able to control SN via Squidgy, I use SN a lot
especially in the morning etc. when I don't have time to power on my
laptop. Reading the thread it sounds like this is a limitation also of
iPeng...maybe I should speed up getting that NAS..

2. Found some quirks with the app, everytime I launch it is says the
database is out of date and needs refreshed, despite not adding any new
music - think others have found this. Following that I have found
occasions where my collection is out of sync, the attached images show
the 'New Music' section from the Main Menu, the top item should be 'The
Stills' but is picking up another album, I also seem to lose the
'Artists'  'Genre's' entrys from the main menu from time to time.

A refresh seems to sort this out but there seems to be something wrong
if it is asking to refresh everytime

[slim] Controller causes Transporter to Power-down Mid-song

2008-11-16 Thread newy

I have a problem that happens about every 6 or 7 albums I listen to. 
When I use the Controller to choose an album it plays the first 3 or 4
minutes no problem.  All of a sudden the lights on the Transporter
display go out, the music continues to play for 10 seconds or so and
then the music stops.  I have to turn the power back on to The
Transporter via pushing the power button on the remote or the unit
itself.  I can then use the Controller to continue playback and I'll
have no problems for the rest of the album.  I can't figure it out. 
Any ideas where I should look to try and correct this issue?  Thanks!

Sorry I should have explained this a bit more clearly.

If your native iPhone App contains a copy of the information in your SC
database, and if you had multiple locations (Home/Work/Boat) which had
different SC settings and different music libraries and which you might
want to control with your iPhone, then wouldn't you need some easy way
to say I'm Home so use that database, or I'm at the office, use the
Office database.

Re: [slim] A quick way to rip, tag, cover art, and serve your files.

2008-11-16 Thread agillis

I'll look into adding some of these features. If you find any bugs
please post them to the forum on the vortexbox.org site so I have them
all in one place. Thanks again for your feedback.

Re: [slim] Unusual request? filter my music for lossless format?

2008-11-16 Thread agillis

The easiest way would be to store the files in two locations. This is
what we do on VortexBox all files are stored in the Music folder but
mp3 files are in music/mp3 and FLACs are in music/FlAC. Does itunes let
you have different sub folders? 

Your other option is to do what MeSue says. Go to Settings  Advanced 
File Types and select files you don't want to index in SC.

i tried your idea.   i put the following comma separated list under
file types to disable.

mp3, mp4, aac 

i then rescanned the music file.

however, the AAC music files still appeared along with the duplicate
ALAC's.   the file type for these were listed as AAC or Movie File.

ANY IDEA WHY THIS FILTER DID NOT WORK??

Re: [slim] Unusual request? filter my music for lossless format?

2008-11-16 Thread lreinstein

I am confused.

I just looked at my music files (on the MAC) and saw that music that i
ripped as ALAC and as AAC both had files with m4a extensions, ... only
the ALAC was much larger files.  They also both say MPEG-4.  I think i
am out of my depth and do not understand this at all.

Re: [slim] Distortion during loud tracks - my amp is too sensitive - what to do?

2008-11-16 Thread Mnyb

http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-volt.htm

some more calculators

Preamp volume can do what you want, we are only suggesting inline
attenuators because you need to do a very large adjustment.
Meaning you are one of the few that actually can impair sound quality
with to low volume on SB.

Attenuators have the added benefit of protection, if your SB goes nuts
and suddenly outputs full volume (a possibility in some rare cases ),
then you won't blow your speakers.

Must rush to work, sorry havent made any calculation for you

I really didn't see anything confrontational from either one of you? 
Maybe more of misunderstanding than anything else. No need not to

Re: [slim] Trouble with MusicIP Headless, SC7.3, and Sugarcube

2008-11-16 Thread Michael Herger
 I turned on MIP debugging, and checked the log file. Prior to evening
 turning on the debug, I see entries related to MIP as follows:

 [22:35:21.4144] Slim::Utils::Strings::string (410) Error: missing
 string MUSICIP_READSONGDATA

This string should be defined in Slim/Plugin/MusicMagic/strings.txt.  
Please stop SC, remove strings.bin from its cache folder and start again.
