[slim] Does digital volume control cost resolution?
The old rule of thumb was that for each 6db of digital attenuation one lost 6 db of resolution. I believe that no longer holds with devices that are processing 16 bit data with an internal resolution that is higher (i.e. 20 or more bits). I have a squeezebox 3 and use the digital output into some pretty good equipment starting with a big ben to re-clock the data stream.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
mkanet, I don't use Sirius, but I do use Slacker quite often. The only time I get such Slacker duplicate login errors is when I actually do have a duplicate login (computer on Slacker UI or another player). A long time ago there was an issue with the SqueezeNetwork UI (this is now MySqueezeBox.com) where Slacker would see your computer logged into SqueezeNetwork and your player(s) as duplicate logins. That issue was corrected, but I wonder if the issue is back for some network setup configurations? As a *very* long shot, try logging off any instances of MySqueezeBox.com UI logins.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
Toby, thank you so much for replying and trying to help. I'm a network engineer for over 18 years; and understand some things are very hard to prove without a very good logging system on the backend/protocol analyzer (on the mysqueezebox.com side). I definitely got rid of all other instances of slacker. The key thing to realize is it's not related to just one mysqueezebox.com dependant service. Also, the services I use (Slacker and Sirius) worked great a while back before your backend was changed; hence, looking at the mysqueezebox.com component as a factor. I have seen this issue happen a little after Logitech bought this technology; and, changes started happening after SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 to the backend. Let's face it, there aren't a whole lot of options to work with on my local Squeezebox server; and, I only have two squeezebox clients. Whatever it is, I use two separate accounts on the mysqueezebox.com side for each music service... and MOST IMPORTANTLY... this doesnt happen to simple music stations that use mp3 playlists (which my clients contact directly to; instead of getting mysqueezebox.com in the mix. Whatever the problem is, it wasn't a problem when we used the older backend along with squeezecenter 7.2.1 (which isnt that long ago). Whoever works on the back end should probably have a clue what changed during that period along with the hints I posted. I sure as heck hope, the engineers dont just sweep this issue under the rug hoping people will stop complaining about it. It doesnt happen to many people, but there are certain configurations which trigger this and cause mysqueezebox.com to muff things up. toby10;514822 Wrote: mkanet, ...

Re: [slim] Logitech deceptive marketing - don't buy their products

Re: [slim] Is there a way to send song info (now playing) to Trillian chat?
Well, the now playing info is available on a per=player basis from the server's CLI interface. As an easy example, you can get the current artwork for a particular player using the following address in your browser. -http://server:port/music/current/cover.jpg?player=playerid- Have a look at -http://server:port/en/html/docs/cli-api.html- for a description of the CLI interface. This is only useful if you're using your own server (once the basic SB pattern, but I guess that's changing). -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Does digital volume control cost resolution?
Phil Leigh;514804 Wrote: The SB3 uses a 24-bit internal implementation for it's level control. Provided you keep the volume fairly high you shoudn't notice too much loss of resolution. If you notice a loss in resolution with such a low level then maybe you should not use so much gain ;) -- m1abrams m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75006 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Is there a way to send song info (now playing) to Trillian chat?
I'm actually thinking of the bigger picture with a easy way to relay this information to multiple social networking/chat networks... One thing to our advantage is squeezebox server does a ok job sending played songs to audioscrobbler's RSS feed via your lastFM account. Since facebook, twitter, trillian, aim, yahoo, etc all have their own way of displaying a status message, it makes sense to look for a common standard. ie, an RSS or ATOM feed. It probably wouldnt take too long for someone to make small plugins to something like plugin, facebook, etc to replace the user's status message with the lastest update from audioscrobbler. For example: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/user/mkanet/recenttracks.rss (Please dont laugh at what I listen to :) I didnt look hard enough for a good solution to do this for at least Trillian Astra... but, I think RSS might be the way to go since most apps/sites are RSS-friendly. If someone figures out a way to do with without requiring for me to write a universal Now Playing app for various services, I'm sure they would be a pretty popular person. Music services such as Pandora already update facebook and twitter... its just a matter of time before Logitech/squeeze community realizes this is something desirable for social networking/chat apps like Trillian. I might be just a little bit ahead of the times... but things are slowly catching on... with people realizing the benefits of such features... -MKANET bobkoure;515043 Wrote: Well, the now playing info is available on a per=player basis from the server's CLI interface.

Re: [slim] Why... oh why...
There is an option to turn off settings synchronisation. I've had it disabled since the first time SqueezeNetwork decided to screw up all my local settings. I know that my voice doesn't really count in such issues. But my prefs file must be years old... Therefore instead of just turning off an option and pray it didn't work we should try to understand why it didn't work in _your_ case. Would you be willing (and able) to retry again? Keep a daily/hourly/... copy of your files and try again? -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
