So you don't run out of music ;) Joerg Thanks i had forgotten about the last option. Comment to Sebastian: I think that the first of the playlist action icons can be misleading. By looking at all three of them I would say that the meaning is insert at the beginning, insert at the middle, append to the end. None of them strikes me as also clearing the initial content. I would suggest for the first icon to colour all the three lines light blue or completely remove or strike out the last two lines so that it is clear what the purpose is (sorry, this is a professional disease as I have been working for almost 20 years with u.i. design :-)).

[slim] HowTo: Prevent server from suspend/hibernate while Squeezecenter playing?
I have a SB3 Classic connected wireless to a router, and Squeezecenter running on a wired ubuntu.9.04-computer. The computer/fileserver is set to go into suspend after X minutes of idling. And it also works to wol it. My problem is that it suspends while playing on the SB3. Sending output from Squeezecenter doesn't seem to prevent suspension. The server is also used for streaming movies and tv-series to an HTPC, so I don't think SrvrPowerMng-plugin is the answer for me.

Re: [slim] How to stream Spotify on a Mac
VLC is a Swiss army knife application - a huge number of options and can do lots of wonderful stream transformation but it is often not easy to get it do what is wanted. I have spent many hours with it and still only use a small number of options. That said - I believe the VLC advice offered in the linked page will work as is. You need an enthusiastic OSX user to help tease out the details as the solution will be OSX specific. The main cause of the problem is Spotify themselves and I think Logitech hands are tied by Spotify. The only API Spotify provide is a single client on an x86 linux based system (supplied as binary) and the user must be a Premium user. This won't work in the SC context. The Despotify group showed it was possible to have a better/more general API but I think Spotify are trying to get their business model sorted before opening up the system. The iPhone app shows they are bending under pressure so maybe there is hope for Logitech. For me it is an academic exercise since Spotify is not offered in Ireland (and many other countries) except as a Premium services. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67680 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 802.11n technology
What bull. The products were in manufacturing before the 802.11n spec was official. Its impossible without a time travel machine to anticipate it, as the spec was going to be approved RSN for nearly eight years. I didn't expect to see IEEE 802.11n _compliant_ product at this time, You could have fooled me. Anyway, the managers decided (not the developers who you are slagging) that they would wait, and did. None of your whining will change that. Please understand: I am not criticising the devlopers, Again, bull. You are, and if anything, its the PHB not the engineers who should be your targets.

[slim] Squeezebox + Spotify + PS3 = ???
I'm trying to figure out a way to control Spotify from my living room. Is it possible to control the PC with a PS3? I have tried something called teamviewer on my laptop earlier. This application made it possible to control my stationary Slim Server PC with my laptop, and thus control Spotify in my living room. The problem is that I don't want to have my laptop up and running in the living room. What if you could use an application like teamviewer on the PS3? This would be a neat solution. Search for music on your TV-screen with the PS3 and stream the music from the PC to the squeezebox. (I live in Norway. We don't have access to Napster.) -- Eivindz Eivindz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68267 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox + Spotify + PS3 = ???
You can use Twonkey Media server (costs $30) to connect your PS3 to your media. This solution uses the UPnP protocol so SqueezeCenter and other software is not required. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68267 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox can only connect to wireless channel 1
the router was on channel 1, where everything worked fine, except my laptop which frequently lost connection. As another remote network is broadcasting on same channel 1 (I live in a city), I decided to move to channel 6, where I could not see other radio activity. So I changed the settings in the router to channel 6, did a factory reset in the SB3 (as suggested in this threat) and tried to re-connect...without success. The SB3 keeps looking for a radio signal and times out after 30 seconds. No success for another try. I have not yet sniffed radio signals while the SB3 is looking for connection yet, as suggested in this threat; I will do that to see what is going on. funny thing is that when I repeat the whole procedure and change back to radio setting 1 I get inmediate connection. I am in Europe, my modem is on Europe settings, as is my SB3. I use IEEE 802.11g standard (=2.4GHz) with WPA2 encryption. The thing with European WiFi radio signals is that the radio channels do partly overlap; so you need at least 4 channels between two adjacent settings to get the least radio interference. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2.4_GHz_Wi-Fi_channels_(802.11b,g_WLAN).png -- history -- 1 SB3 + DACMagic + Rotel + Transmission line speakers 1 Boom 1 MSI Barebone AXIS VIA C7 1.5GHz with FreeNAS + SlimNAS history's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29747 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67854 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Existing products that are working well now, will very likely continue to do so in the future (unless your immediate neighbors install _new_ wireless access points that start to cause interference with yours). My argument has been that in densely populated locations, there is a risk of running out of WiFi channels to use (there are only 3 such channels that don't overlap). If this is not a problem for you now, don't worry about it! However, if you start to see unreliable streaming, one possible cause is having nearby neighbors that use the same WiFi channel as you do.

Re: [slim] Still Necessary To Delete Preference Panes On New SqueezeCenter Software Install?
Yesterday I installed Snow Leopard and Squeeze 7.3.4. Before doing anything, I copied (my user name)/Library/Application Support/SqueezeCenter Folder to a Flash Drive. I then installed SL and 7.3.4. When the clean install of 7.3.4 finished, I stopped the Squeeze server. I then opened the above SqueezeCenter Folder on my Flash Drive and found the file server.prefs. I moved this file to the new SqueezeCenter Folder on my computer and did a replace. I then started the server. Success! All my settings for all 4 devices made it! Everything works great and no more tedious resetting of all my preferences.
