[slim] Configuring an SB3
Just received my dented box SB3 -- very minor scuff on the box, everything inside was in mint condition. Very cool. This is my first foray with an SB3, and obviously the screen real estate is larger than I've played with in the past. I'm looking for recommendations regarding setup. Currently I'm using SuperDateTime to display weather when stopped or off, and Music Information Screen during playback. Are there other gems out there I've overlooked? And a question about Music Information Screen: is there a way to show the source of the material being played? Pandora, Rhapsody, local FLACs, etc.? Or maybe some other plug-in that accomplished this? -- ajkidle 2x SBR, SB3, Boom, Radio, iPeng ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75175 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When I clear the From Date-field everything is fine. (MySQL ODBC 5.1
is working OK it seems). I tried various dates formats already.
I did some further digging in the code and tried some extras:
when I add an exclusion for comment Dummy all of a sudden it works,
but when I keep the Comment-field empty it does not work.
On the topic of Exclusion:
I noticed that when I want to exclude all albums with Comment
whatever , also albums with an empty comment-field are excluded.
That is not what I would expect for an exclude. (Another issue ?)
I see in the last line log file (of the failure-case):
STATUS : AND tracks.timestamp
unix_timestamp('20090101') WHERE tracks.timestamp
unix_timestamp('20090101') GROUP BY AlbumID, AlbumName, Disc, TrackNum
ORDER BY album_artist.name, albums.titlesort, ABS(tracks.disc),
tracks.tracknum, track_artist.name, tracks.url;
In the working-case this same line reads:
STATUS : AND (comments.value != 'DUMMY' ) AND
tracks.timestamp unix_timestamp('20090101') and tracks.timestamp
unix_timestamp('20090101') GROUP BY AlbumID, AlbumName, Disc, TrackNum
ORDER BY album_artist.name, albums.titlesort, ABS(tracks.disc),
tracks.tracknum, track_artist.name, tracks.url;
I see some differences here:
- obviously the cmment exclusion;
- 'WHERE' is now 'and'
Hope this helps to find this bug
BTW: I also noted that when I select a comment to Exclude, also all
albums with empty Comment-field are excluded.
This is not what I would expect.
Hi Andre,
If I remember correctly you use dutch localization settings? Your issue
is likely related to that. The code I made is suppossed to cope with
that but due to lack of test users hasn't been tested enough.
Can you send me the acc.log file of the broken run? I may need you to
run a modified version collection additional information how data is
handled on a dutch localized version but the log file should already
give me some direction.

I expect at least 10 years for my stereo equipment and have always bought quality to make sure of this. I would be very disappointed if mine fails this soon.

Took it apart last night and found what appeared to be heat related discolorations on the inside of the case and when connecting the unit to power outside the case, I immediately smelled a hot electrical smell. No smoke or sparks and I did not investigate further... The case on this model (SB3 with Slim Devices on the metal face) has no ventilation at all. Has this ever been an issue (overheating)?

[slim] Anyone have over 100,000 tracks in their library?
I recently bought an HP EX485 MediaSmart server mainly to run squeezebox server for a squeezebox duet. After the EX485 took 3-4 days to simply create the library and index the mp3's, I realized that the server was not going to be able to handle a large library. I upgraded the server processor from a single core 2 ghz celeron to a dual core 2.8 ghz E6300 pentium processor. My server and my squeezebox receiver are hardwired into my uverse router, and I can get decent performance if I access my library from a browser. However, if I use the duet controller or ipeng, the connection can take minutes to list the files or time out when I try and access certain genres or categories. I am a little disappointed that I am having so much trouble just trying to stream to a single squeezebox receiver. My real question is how much hardware is needed to run squeezebox server reliably and be able to stream to multiple receivers with a library of 100,000 mp3's? Does anyone with a large collection have any advice on getting better performance from my library or at least the wireless controllers?
