Re: [slim] Would truly love an Audible.com app to be available on Squeezebox
Has anyone actually paying for DRM content thought about the future ? Can you or your loved ones listen to these files in +30 years ? DRM + proprietary formats contribute to the "digital dark age" we will face. This information loss is a massive problem for human culture. Information must be in such format that it can be migrated to new storage formats indefinitely otherwise it's useless. Was it "play for sure" or something ? ( sorry no memory for that exact drm scheme )that M$ dropped so no customer can use their files in the future when their current hardware quits.

Re: [slim] FATAL: There is already another copy of the SqueezeboxServerrunning on this machine
Thanks for your analysis as always. I investigated a bit more what you
said about the pdk's ("there should be one "pdk-*" directory - if there
is no pdk directory then I would look for some sort of permission issue
preventing file writing of the directory"). I have them on my main
server but no trace on the fatal machine. The OS is XP Home and it
doesn't really support folder permissions from what I can tell (at least
not like XPPro). I did though for goofs share the main user folder on
the network (share folder / and / allow network users to change files)
and I got a couple of pdk's. That seemed promising so I went through
various iterations of uninstall and install but am still getting the
fatal message. I also shared the allusers/applicationdata folder and
post-install the pf/squeeze folder but same result. So while permissions
still seem a potential I don't know what else I can give (I had tried
the other day to create and run under a new admin account and different
default location but to no avail). Possibility (ii) is still a
possibility but I'm afraid that that's like looking for a needle in a
haystack. Am back to considering blowing away the drive and reinstalling
windows tomorrow (XPPro if I can find a legit copy but XPHome again if
not - I have disks for that). I've saved off all personal folders
already. Obviously I don't want to do this for the heck of it - what do
you think about that? If SlimServer won't run after that then I don't
think it ever will.
Thanks -

Re: [slim] Revisiting iTunes alternatives for the Mac
I love Lightroom 2, but that's way off-topic. I've had some time to use Play (another creation by sbooth.org, the creator of Max and Rip) and I think it shows promise. However, it is not in the same class as Songbird, which has more and different functionality. That's not to say it's better. It has a lot of extra's that I don't need in a music player and management program. A browser is one feature I can do without in an music program; I already have Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Flock and that's more than enough. What I'd really like is for some time to find and try every Mac music program there is out there. Finding them is the problem, so if anyone can send me links I'd appreciate it. -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.

Re: [slim] FATAL: There is already another copy of the SqueezeboxServerrunning on this machine
Mutual backslapping all round - solving problems like this need a determined user as much as somebody to offer suggestions to test. Strangely, I have not been able to get a tarball version of 7.4.1 to run on my test Windows systems which is now Vista. I think Snarlydwarf might have the right idea that somehting is bundled in the SqueezeSvr.exe that clashes with the target system as SqueezeSvr.exe is some sort of compressed file with perl.exe, libraries and precompiled SBS source. You now have a workaround but the underlying problem is not really solved. So what to do next ? I think check ActiveState forums to see if another user has a similar symptom and also possibly using Process Explorer on a good running SBS to see what DLLs are being used. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73387 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announce: New Squeezeslave 0.9 Release available on sourceforge
I have to disagree. Squeezeslave works well with SBS 7.4 as long as all your streams are the supported format, which is 44.1KHz, 16-bit, stereo. I run it for weeks without issue using 7.4.2. Only having to restart it when windows goes stupid and I have to reboot the system. I'm currently working on a fix to stop squeezeslave from attempting to play a stream if it is not in that format. Until then, please use the custom-convert.conf file discussed above. It works fine with 7.4 as long as you don't switch too quickly between streams. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63966 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] ESET NOD32 vs ESET Smart Security 4
I need to renew Nod32 for 3 computers in the house and am wondering if I should upgrade to Smart Security 4 instead. But I wonder about problems with my Duets. After much struggling, I have 2 working again. A 3rd may or may not (it's been unplugged for 2 weeks so I don't have to look at the stupid blue light). I'm glad to see that Logitech is finally admitting that they have problems on their servers but, frankly, I'm worn out from trying to connect that 3rd Duet. Right now, I don't have what it takes to struggle with it when Logitech's servers haven't caught up with Christmas sales. I've told multiple people over the phone that all is correct on my end. I've sent scathing customer service evaluations. They don't care. All the descriptions they are reporting are exactly what I told them with the response from them that the problem was on my end. So, if I change to ESET Smart Security 4 are all 3 Duets going to lose connectivity and I'll have a thousand plus dollars in shiny black doorstops? I was going to buy my husband the Radio for Xmas. I am so glad I decided against it.

It's not all bad; rarely does anyone write a post entitled "FYI: I've never had an issue and love [insert product name]". iTunes worked for me for quite some time. I've posted about how iTunes + TwistedFlac = FLAC on the Mac along with WAVs on your iPod without keeping multiple copies or using extra drive space, as well as getting the most out of iTune with Max and xACT. But as my library grows and I use my Mac for listening less and less, and Apple doesn't seem to show any interest in accepting the Audiophile standard of FLAC, it has become all to cumbersome to continue using iTunes. In the mean time iTunes has become a self promoting Apple product the likes of which have never been seen before. Little devotion has been paid to improving your music nor features that benefit the actual listening of music. Instead Apple devleopment has added new Apple iTunes Music Store features, iPod games, applications, and ringtones, the ability to watch movies and TV programs, a dynamic visualizer (Great if listening thru a optical and mental haze of bong smoke), and sound checking to alter your music in ways never intended. iTunes is the standard for PC and Mac, I have no doubt. But what I'd like to see is listed in easier posts; a simple music player and organizer for the Mac. There are some good alternatives noted above. Songbird, VLC, Play, and others will let me listen and, to a small degree, organize the content I want without having to convert. But most of all, look at Apple's webpage devoted to iTunes. Beginning 1/2 way down the page you will find their self-serving promo: Buy, Buy, Buy. Nearly half of the features in iTunes are devoted to buying music, renting and purchasing videos, the App Store, and building your own library of purchased audiobooks. -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.

If you don't have the remote server settings configured, ACC will use the local installation of SBS. Now SBS may not be running but maybe MySQL is. ACC will then retrieve the data from the local MySQL database instead of the remote. Considering the huge differences in both album and track count this seems very likely. To determine if this is the case try one of the following: 1. deinstall SBS on the local machine. ACC will not be able to retrieve any data and hence ACC was using the local DB 2. disable MySQL on the machine where ACC is running. ACC will then not be able to retrieve data and hence was using the local DB 3. Configure remote server settings in ACC. For this however you first need to modify the my.tt file on the readynas box to allowe remote access to the database. I don't know how this must be done on a readynas box as I don't have one. Maybe others users can help here a this configuration has been used many times. An easy solution maybe to enable SBS on the local machine, configure it to scan drive M: and then run ACC against the local DB (ofcourse don't configure the remote server settings). As a new scan will get the DB up to date with the readynas DB I don't think you will see any differences between ACC en SBS on the readynas anymore. regards, Frank -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xRadio, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SC, Denon PMA-1500AE + DacMagic + Monitor Audio Silver RS8 = :-) SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73284 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] My Week with a Squeezebox Radio (a reivew)
I've had the roku setup on my system for the past three years or so and haven't had any major problems with it. Unfortunately, its an abandoned piece of hardware so I've been looking at replacing it with a squeezebox of late; when the Radio was announced I figured it would be good gifts for my teenage daughters and a chance for me to test the squeezebox waters. What follows is my overall impressions. I like the looks of the radio; I bought the red version. I like the screen (nice to have the graphics over roku's rather limited text screen) and the sound is fine for what it is. I like the Pandora and internet radio features (Pandora is what the girls use most on the radio) and it works great and reliably so far. The roku could handle internet radio as well but again, the interface on the radio makes things a bit simpler. The menu tree on the radio took some getting use to but the girls and I have gotten better at it with time. I had some difficulties in the beginning finding some of the stuff buried in the menus; a menu tree in the user guide or on-line would have been helpful. Initial start-up documentation was adequate. Setting up the radio, accessing the wireless network, and doing Pandora and internet radio was very easy and worked great. And then i installed Squeezebox Server... The next step was to get the radios to access the girls music libraries. In the roku, its pretty simple. iTunes has to be running on the computer with the music you want, and the roku then "sees" the library and can access the music. if you want to switch to another computer's music and its running iTunes, then its just a click to change to that library. Very simple. SBS seems to be over complicated. Granted, the plug-ins and stuff give it some nice options but overall, it just seems for the most part, unnecessary. Using iTunes was much easier; not having to worry about what directories store what or having the SBS rescan libraries. I have the music on a network drive and my PS3 can access the music directly without any extra software as can the roku; not sure why we have to have the SBS running all the time. Granted, it wouldn't be a big deal to run SBS if it was just a better piece of software. In just the week I've been running it I've had problems with it just quitting on its own, disconnecting from the radios at random times, music scans dieing mid-way. I've spent several hours on the forums searching for similar problems and finding that I'm not alone...seems to be several out there that have had similar issues. I've tried many of the fixes with mixed results; I've fixed the scan problem by killing my anti-virus (the excluding file types didn't work) and turning my firewall off completely (none of the recommended firewall settings seem to fix anything). It also runs slow and just getting to the control panel or web interface takes forever. Frankly, the whole thing seems like a beta version...I could be a bit more forgiving if the squeezboxes were brand new products but the server should be more mature than this by now. It's also klunky...many of the settings and options aren't readily apparent what they require or even do (it took a while for me to figure out what "use iTunes" did and I still can't get any applets to show up on the radios) and again, the scanning thing seems to be unnecessary. Why can't it just "look" at the music directly without scanning like all of the other media servers do? I'm also having pretty much hit or miss luck with getting album artwork to show up. It would also help if there was better documentation available for SBS; the manual barely addresses it and the wiki isn't very helpful either. So far the forums are the only avenue to really try and get your hands around the thing which is a shame. So, overall, I'd give the internet radio and Pandora and Facebook aspects of the radio and the hardware itself an "A"...but the my music feature gets pulled down to a "C-" with the klunky and unreliable SBS. The girls are happy with the non-my music features and simply use their ipods to plug into the radio when "my music" is misbehaving...I'll hold off on buying a Duet until SBS gets better..and just use the PS3 and roku to stream music in the mean time. -- mrkerr mrkerr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35649 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73677 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Of course that only recreates the environment and I would have no idea about actual debugging. Did it give you any new clues the fact that the port opened successfully in the small debug tests?

I mean if you stick to your subscription plan you essentially pay $10 per book. Those alternatives are available but if those alternatives are purchased via a mainstream alternative source i.e retail or online bookstore, you pay the full retail price. This isnt a case of paying for crap that I really cant use...I have been able to use it without issue from day one and continue to be able to use it, I just singularly cant use it on the squeezebox, that honestly is not reason enough for me to send a message to the powers that be at audible and threaten to leave if they dont cut out their tomfoolery post-haste! Keep in mind that there are competitors out there that offer additional options that will determine which system some folks purchase over others. (http://raumfeld.com for example is enroute..) Squeezebox seems flexible and open enough and popular enough with the demographic that seems predisposed to tinkering that I would suspect someone in the community has the where-withall to create a soloution to various solutions...(that BBCi player for example) I hope a skilled and willing soul or/and the folks at logitech/slimbox team see's the request and makes a solution. While the debate is good and all and I'm sure that your reasons for frowning on digital content with DRM barriers have a measure of merit philisophically to like-minded folk as yourself, BUT the main competitor already has a solution. This does seem to be the most open of the available options so I would suspect it would be the most dynamic with solutions, fixes and new options. I as a audible customer apparently am pleased enough with the product and service that they have had me as a customer since the day they went live ($20 a month for 2-audiobooks of your choice..heck yeah!). Personally I feel like I have a high quality product that has pleased me for years and have had it at quite a discount when I compare what I would have to pay for the same content if I bought the CD version. ..if Sonos had Slacker I would have never posted this, the squeezebox would simply be on e-bay but I do suspect the light-hearted debate is worth having (so long as it doesnt get in the way of fix ;)) -- Moozh Moozh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73651 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announce: New Squeezeslave 0.9 Release available on sourceforge
I've used Squeezeslave in different versions for a couple of years now, but almost exclusively with my local music library. I've just updated to 7.4.1 and SqueezeSlave 0.9-05. I've found that I can listen to an internet stream (say sky.fm classical guitar) but if I switch to any other stream (say sky.fm classic rock), there appears to be a freeze. The problem seems to be changing from any internet stream to any other internet stream. SqueezeSlave keeps reporting "libmad: (mp3) bad stream pointer (0x0235)". I can't play anything (internet or local library) until I stop and start the server or I close and re-open SquuezeSlave. I've checked back with earlier SqueezeSlave versions and I get the same behaviour. Is this something that started with 7.4.1 or am I missing something obvious? -- GreyBeard GreyBeard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63966 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Guys (& Gals), Most of the discovery issues in Net::UDAP are because I did a dirty hack to work out the machines local IP addresses (I parse the output of ifconfig or ipconfig on Windows). This is fragile and fails on OSX and any non-English locale. There is a module that can be used to list local IP addresses - I use it in the current trunk version - but is not pure perl, ie. it requires binary compilation and I am trying to keep Net::UDAP pure perl so it's easy to install (extract the tarball/zip and run). Anyway... I've added a new option in the 1.0.x branch to allow the local address to be specified. Get it here: https://projects.robinbowes.com/Net-UDAP/trac/browser/branches/1.0.x (download the zip file from the link at the bottom of the page) Use it as follows: scripts/udap_shell.pl --local-address a.b.c.d where: a.b.c.d is the IP address of the local machine Please let me know how this works for you, preferably with a post to my mailing list: http://lists.projects.robinbowes.com/mailman/listinfo/net-udap Cheers, R. -- robinbowes robinbowes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
