Hmm. I have IRBlaster working fine with the standard squeezebox IR remote. When I push volume up/down on the remote, the SB volume stays fixed but the amp goes up and down in volume, as wised and expected. I don't need to use the web interface. It actually works a bit with iPeng too, but gets out of sync quickly and can easily get into a state where the amp is set to zero volume and no amount of playing with the slider will bring it back.

[slim] Commands as Favourites (Favorites)
Forgive the Australian spelling...
I read in brief a post that alluded to the possibility that one can
store a command as a favourite for access in a playlist.
I did a search through the Wiki, but it's rather difficult to find
-anything- in that behemoth.
So is it true?
Can I create a command as a favourite?
The immediate thing I thought of was to create a favourite that
switched the "power off" screen saver to blanksaver, then turned the
Squeezebox off. I would add this as the last item in a playlist when I
listen to music when going to sleep (I'm about to start a little
electronics project that will turn my speaers + sub off/on when the
squeezebox turns off/on).
So, is it possible? And where is the documentation?
Thanks heaps.

Re: [slim] Linn - SkweezyDS
Yeah I started a thread on this ages ago, when the SB/DS stuff was coming in the Linn forum, but no-one cared. IMO Logitech should have started licensing their system ages ago, as lots of established audiophile players like Linn, Naim, Meridian, McIntosh and the like are getting into streaming players. They can do the sound, to the satisfaction of their customers, but have little experience with the streaming systems. The cost of a slave Receiver is negligible (I use a slave SB3 as a second display now I have upped my Booms!). Sure Logitech are getting some sales from this, but what they want is a fully integrated system that just works, with people buying one Linn/Mc/Meridian or whatever, and half a dozen Booms, Receivers and SB Classics. -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, dCS Purcell, Ack Dac, Audion Quattro, Welborne DRD 300Bs, Lowther Big Fun Horns with PM6As adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] FM station internet feed help
So I got my fav FM station up and running thanks to bpa, but now I can't get Sirius stations to play on SqueezeCenter. They only play if I'm connected to SqueezeNetwork. I tried setting the Windows Media setting back to native, that did nothing. On the controller it pulls up the station, they hangs and sometimes counts a second or two then the counter goes back to 0. No sound at all. On SC, it counts and looks like it's playing but no sound at all. What's the deal here? Seems like I exchanged one problem for another as I never have had a single Sirius issues at all. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, SC 7.3.2, and have mplayer & AlienBBC installed.

No, it does not, since the only really useful thing you could use it
for would be pause (or on/off) and volume. Without a display,
navigation would be blind ("if I hit down three times, then I am at the
album I want") and painful.
Personally, I would keep both units.
Use the SB3 where you want to see the display (perhaps a bedroom, it
makes a nifty alarm clock) and the Duet where you didn't need to see
the display.
At least try it with a couple units for a while: the SB client-server
model really shows its stuff with multiple units.

Is Logitech guiding the development of this software, or what is going on?

You can set it up so that when you press Volume-Up or Volume-Down on the SB3 remote, it doesn't alter the SB3 volume, but instead sends a volume IR command to your amp. Because you don't have 'traditional' Volume-Up or Volume-Down buttons in the iPeng app, this functionality is lost. An alternative would be to have an option to use such buttons instead of the volume slider, but that doesn't fit with your design model particularly. Also, I don't know what CLI commands would need to be sent by iPeng to mimic the V.Up and V.Down actions, and whether they would automatically trigger the IRRemote actions. If someone uses an SBC with IRRemote: Is there a Volume Up/Down button on the Controller, and does it trigger the IRRemote actions?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox 3 simply won't play...
Well so far the problem seems to appear over and over. It is not dependent at all on anything known, the thing is that even when discs and folders are named the same, the library is not with right paths, and the SB3 does not want to play/stream files. It is annoying to rescan your stored music which takes over 20 minutes for before it starts to stream songs. So once again: Mac mini with Mac OS 10.5. One external drive is firewire Another one is USB They both have the same names as well as folders with music on them. Every now and then it looses paths stored in primary Macintosh volume in users folder where the aliases (shortcuts) are, so you have rescan the library again everytime this happens.

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
That's definitely Custom Browse, there's nowhere in SC where something is sorted in reverse order (other than New Music) AFAIK. That it makes more sense is arguable. I always find the Alphabet a quite simple sorting criterion, on the other hand "The Rolling Stones" are probably the only Artist in _my_ collection where you seriously have to search for an Album. BTW, the SqueezeCenter Web Interface does not seem to sort at all, at least I could not find any order in my Rolling Stones or Paul Weller Albums. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Does this sound like a conflict of some sort?
It does sound as if the problem is one of transcoding. I run a similar setup off a ReadyNAS (though without the power line plugs) and get great response on my Duet controller and receiver. However, I use FLAC for my entire library (with a small percentage of MP3s I glommed from sources other than CDs), so no transcoding is necessary. From what I've read both here and in the ReadyNAS forums, it's when the NAS has to start transcoding that it bogs down, because it just doesn't have the horsepower. -- Dogberry2 Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58254 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter on NAS and PC
Yes, it is possible to run multiple copies of SC, one on your NAS and one on your PC. However, the problem that arises is that the two will use different databases to track your music library. Each copy will maintain its own database on the machine it's running on, so changes to one will not affect the other. Also, the file/directory paths by which each copy refers to your song tracks will be different. So running two copies will not give you the effect you want. The browser interface into SC is not a particularly spiffy way to create and maintain extensive playlists anyway, so even people who run SC on a PC often use another tool to create and change playlists, as do those of us who are running SC on a NAS or other server. The biggest difference for us, though, is that we have to change the file paths. Here are the steps I use: - Map a network drive to your NAS share holding your music - Open a media player (I use J. River, but pretty nearly any player will do) and have it scan the mapped music drive - Use the media player's slick-and-easy interface to create playlists as desired - Export the playlists to M3U format (some players use M3U as their default; with others, you have to do a separate export) - Open the M3U files in a decent text editor - if you don't have one, even a crummy one like Notepad or vi will do - Do a global replace to change the mapped drive letter to the proper root path on your NAS (If your NAS is not Windows-based, you'll probably also have to change the folder delimiters from backslashes to slashes) - Save the modified M3U files into the directory on the NAS where you told SC its playlists are stored - When you're finished updating playlists, bring up the browser interface to SC and tell it to re-scan playlists This might sound cumbersome, but after you've done it once or twice, it's actually very easy. It lets you take advantage of the easy-to-use playlist builder in the native media player software, and the tweaking of the path names becomes automatic. (I set up a macro in my text editor to do it, so it's really a one-keystroke operation. If you get a text editor like Crimson or UltraEdit, it takes almost no time or effort.) I maintain dozens of playlists this way, set up for different moods or circumstances. (My wife loves it, because it relieves her of any effort of building up her own playlists using the Duet controller, and she likes the convenience of picking a three- or four-hour list with one button.) Hope this helps get you where you're trying to go. The Duet is great, but if you use playlists a lot, neither the controller nor the browser interface is particularly slick for building or changing them. -- Dogberry2 Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58275 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Zapping (which you do by holding down the '+' (i.e. add) key for about 1 second) by default adds the currently playing song to the zapped songs list - it's basically like a quick collection in Lightroom if that means anything to you - and handy spot to store a list of things you can build on the fly. Because of this quick collection, you can do many things - in my case, Custom Skip will skip any tracks in that playlist if they are ever added, so it is very easy to eassentially remove a track from your library (without actually deleting anything). I know other people use it to mark tracks that have bad tags, as another example. Lots of things can be done with it, and it would be great to have a zap button somewhere (maybe around repeat/shuffle would work? A little lightning bolt maybe?) 4.

Re: [slim] Replaygain - Anyone know about it?
I followed the directions on this page and it made a world of difference. Just remeber to do a full rescan after you're done. http://projects.robinbowes.com/apply_replaygain/trac Good Luck, -- teeitup -- SqueezeCenter Version: 7.3.2 - 24618 - Debian - EN - utf8 Perl Version: 5.10.0 - i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.51a-20 Total Players Recognized: 2 Duet: Firmware: 57 Squeezebox3: Firmware: 122 -- teeitup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58253 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Thank You Slimdevices / Logitech & Community
I'd like to add that after a year I'm still exited about the product. The thousands of dollars I had spent on CD's and the vast majority hadn't come off the shelf for years. It really was a waste when you think about it. Being able to rip them and use a MP3 player in the car and elsewhere was nice. I actually have a Cowon that plays flac. SC has changed all of that and now the entire collection is at my fingertips. On the weekends I just set a random mix and let it play. I have been asked "what station are you listening to?" too many times to count. No commercials. :) Thanks, -- teeitup -- SqueezeCenter Version: 7.3.2 - 24618 - Debian - EN - utf8 Perl Version: 5.10.0 - i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.51a-19 Total Players Recognized: 2 Duet: Firmware: 57 Squeezebox3: Firmware: 122 -- teeitup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
