Re: [slim] Pandora vs. Slacker vs. Last.fm vs. Genius
Hi, I listen to LastFM a lot and to Pandora from time to time. Stragely my opinion would be the opposite of yours. I find LastFM repeats too much after a while. Also they really overweight period vs. musical characteristics I found Pandora more usefule to discover new stuff. But then again I use LastFM way more than Pandora Could it be that when you use a radio service a lot in the end they all show similar, understandably, limitations ? Cheers, Mark. EyeRonik1;394436 Wrote: Hi gang, I listen to all of these, and here are my comparisons: Pandora - My favorite, but it has some quirks. It has a huge supply of artists and generally creates a nice station from a suggestion. Here are the quirks though: - Limited supply of music per station. Once I get it tuned if I listen to a station a lot I get a lot of repeats. - Prioritizes era over similarity. For example, when I seed Neil Young I get a ton of 1970's artists such as Jimi and The Who by default. This is crazy and wrong - I want music that sounds like Neil Young, not music on the radio at the time his biggest hits were popular. He has had about 20 albums since then. This is a major failing of Pandora and contrary to their story. - A Jack Johnson seed creates a station filled with improvisational jazz, even after killing every instance of it. When I want Chick Corea, I'll create a station for him. Slacker - As broad coverage as Pandora, and it creates very different stations from the same seeds. It doesn't have the era bug and the variety is broader and I'm listening to Slacker more and more. The downside - it has audio ads in the stream. They are often mixed to be louder than the music and it's disturbing. I'd listen more to it if they just mixed down the volume of the ads. Last.FM - I listen occasionally but when I do it's great. I have the free account so I only listen to the Recommended station but it's usually quite good, better than the Quickmix on Pandora. I scrobble both iTunes and my iPods, and Squeezecenter so it knows me pretty well. Genius - When I'm listening to iTunes I usually use Genius instead of Party Shuffle now. It has the same era bug as Pandora - when I select any classic rock song I only get classic rock suggested, but it's often much better than that. It's good for a more eclectic mix when using non-classic rock songs. I never got MusicIP to work.

Yeah, start/stop sounds like the absolute, bare minimum we need. It's already working here (and no, this is no code worth publishing yet).

Re: [slim] 7.3.2 Stable?
Thanks guys - that's given me a few things to look into. Currently trying a scan without AVG running - see how that goes. I'll do some temperature checking later. It's an old Compaq Deskpro machine, although all the media is on a Buffalo NAS drive. Anyone know whether this version thrashes the machine and more on a scan? The CPU is at a steady 15% in the Task Manager, peaking at around 50% every so often. Can't speak for the HDD though. I'll give it a good hoover, since it probably needs it. Like I say, I had the power cycling issue with Squeezecenter two releases ago (although it could have coincided with Wireless changes), and it fixed itself with the last release. I'll run NetStumbler - thanks for the heads up on that - and get it plugged in via a wired connection.

Re: [slim] Windows Home Server
could you please elaborate on your last statement (this issue should be handled much better...)? As I said in an earlier comment we've added code to try harder to bring SC up. If the default 9000 (or whatever SC is configured to use) is in use by another application (eg. Twonky), it will automatically use a different port. We're probing 9000-9010, 9100, 8000 and 1. It's an arbitrary selection, but it's unlikely any system will be using all of these already. SC should successfully start in most of these cases. But we'd still need some means to tell the user what port it's actually using. Doesn't matter if you're accessing it using the tray icon, but on WHS this is a different story. Therefore a link to SC would come in handy. Up until a few days ago SC would simply quit with an error if its port was being used by some other app. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If slimserver could stop the lightout service when the player is on, I think that would rectify the problem.

What other factors are there affecting the performance? The problem is that it is freezing for a few tenths of a second every now and then when I'm scrolling and it doesn't help with a different remote either. Any clues?

Re: [slim] Windows Home Server
PV Connect is the default media service on the HP Mediasmart Server. It's probably PV Connect that's causing the port conflicts. On the HP Mediasmar it seems to be Twonky which uses port 9000. I'd like to see Squeezecenter run as a service and restart itself each time the server is restarted. Recognize port conflits and give the Done. ability to manually configure the ports via the console unless it can automatically recognize a conflict and re-configure the ports itself upon installation. TB investigated. A browser link is essential. Set up playlists from the console. Definitely on the todo list.

Re: [slim] 7.3.2 Stable?
Thanks for that Mark, downloading Speedfan now. I got to the (probably illogical) conclusion, since the processor didn't really seem to be under any significant load at the time and the stopping of the beeps seemed instant when scanning stopped (which in retrospect could be a cooling effect, I just hadn't figured on it being that quick). Granted, strange things happened when it all went wrong, but it was all so strange I couldn't get task manager up to check any loads. It always seemed to be stalling at the same point too (an ASF file in a tidyup folder). I moved that folder out the way today, and a scan went through without any problems at all. Mind you, that could just be coincidence. The machine is a 2.66GHz, but only 512mb RAM on board. Its only other task is running as a server for MyMovies (DVD jukebox software). All media files are stored on NAS drives.

Granted, strange things happened when it all went wrong, but it was all so strange I couldn't get task manager up to check any loads. Processors cool down really quickly when the load is removed because the fan has been turned up to maximum. The SC scan process is fairly CPU intensive, but it occurs in several stages. The first stage accesses the discs, and that causes moderate CPU load and high I/O load (you'll see your disc access light go crazy). The second stage is some sort of database assimilation stage, which puts a heavy load on the CPU. Subsequent stages are also CPU intensive (merge various artists, artwork scan, database optimization) but are usually shorter except for the artwork scan. It always seemed to be stalling at the same point too (an ASF file in a tidyup folder). I moved that folder out the way today, and a scan went through without any problems at all.

I did that for a while with a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4. It won't do for Vista, but I'm not even sure if Vista itself can run on 512 MB.

Re: [slim] SqueezeBox3 performance problems
amino wrote: I've had my SqueezeBox3 for two and half years now and I absolutely love it. The only thing I've always wished was a little bit better is the performance. I'm talking about the speed when I scroll through menus, artist and song lists and so on. However this didn't stop me from buying a SqueezeBox Boom a few weeks ago and the first thing I notice is that it is extremely fast in this aspect, exactly the way I want it. So why is it different? Well, I checked the CPU and it is the same. Both are connected to my wireless network at home, and my SqueezeBox3 is only about 1 meter away from the router at the moment with 92% signal quality, while the Boom is on a different floor with 87% signal quality at the moment. What other factors are there affecting the performance? The problem is that it is freezing for a few tenths of a second every now and then when I'm scrolling and it doesn't help with a different remote either. Any clues? By the way the software version in my SqueezeBox3 is 123 and in Boom it is 43. Hum, it is possible the Boom is using the CLI and caching some information locally. I did this when I wrote a SqueezeCenter client and displayed the entire play list on the screen at once (well, what would fit - I scrolled the rest off on as needed). That would be interesting to know if the Boom is caching the play list, anyone know for sure? As for your SB3 - you will have to ask your self if speeding up the display for the SB3 is worth it. That is, it is possible your server is the limiting factor. For instance, a duel core server may make a difference. Recall, just about every thing you do on the remote goes through the server first (I think the pause key is processed both locally and on the server). Hence, the reason SB's can be easily control remotly. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

pippin;394817 Wrote: Didn't we have this before? I implemented this in the iPeng plugin (not the app) and for some reason it doesn't work. As soon as someone tells me how to do this, I'll implement it, I even know how (UI wise). Not sure as I did not use the plugin. I guess I am thinking the UI part is all that is needed. I just tested the fact that I can lower the volume by sliding the volume control to the left and then if I slide it back to right before it has a chance to reset the UI in the iPeng to show the volume at 100%, I can actually start to increase the volume back some. Of course this does not allow me to increase the volume above where I started from originally, but I think it proves that from iPeng I can control the volume in both directions through the IRBlaster. Hence why I think the enhancement needed for IRBlaster users is just a way in the UI to still increase the volume even though the SB3 thinks the volume is 100%. I hope that makes sense.

And I learned that in general, SlimServer runs much more efficiently on Linux machines, which all but eliminates my Windows NAS choices. In short, I have no idea what to buy and your company is not helping me at all. There is a very viable solution available. I purchased a NetGear ReadyNas Pro which is Linux based box with SqueezeCenter pre installed. NetGear acquired Infranet. Im not sure where youre getting your information from, but I was playing my Transporter in about 15 minutes after booting up the NAS. Ive never used or had seen Linux, which isnt saying much because you dont really need to know anything about Linux to run SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork or to use the NAS for storage. I control the NAS from a Dell Windows Vista box through a slick http interface. I was so pleased by how the Transporter and NAS performed together, I scored a Duet receiver for the basement system. If you are nervous or uncomfortable configuring the RAID (which youd have to do with a Windows box as well) Eaegis.com, an authorized NetGear reseller will pre-configure it for you. With 5T of storage in the RAID I have plenty of room for my FLACs and the thing has performed flawlessly. -- pbg pbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22847 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

There are only the two tables now, North America and the World Table with the asterisk on Channel 14 for B only use in Japan.

Sorry my fault, I took the information first from mind and the german wikipedia entry which do not note the 802.11b only for Japan. English link was added later and not completly crossread by me.

Re: [slim] The nature of the beast or wirelless tango or this years channel
I just checked out what I can see from my laptop. I see nine WiFi access points, mine and six others. Five of them use Channel 6. Two use 11, one used 5, one used 1 There are no free channels. One is a neighbor across the circle from me, probably 100 meters away. Another is down the street, more like 400 meters away. One that is fairly weak is more like 500 meters away. Two of them are still named linksys with no encryption. One still named Netgear. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
mikes;394815 Wrote: I should probably clarify. VolumeDown works fine. The problem is VolumeUp. I am thinking it has to do with the fact that I have the SB3 volume fixed at 100% (I don't want the SB3 attenuating the volume). Hence there is really no way to trigger VolumeUp. On the SBC and in the web interface, even though Volume slider bar shows 100%, I can still select VolumeUp and it sends the the command via IRBlaster to my PreAmp. The solution may be as simple as providing a way on the screen to continue to send VolumeUp even though the slider on iPeng is 100% full. My plugin works the same with volume up as it does volume down. I too have my SB Receiver set to 100%. I have not tried it with the SB3 but I am not sure why it would work any differently. I used the same code as the IRBlaster :-) -- Aesculus Chris Aesculus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14876 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
