[slim] How do I exit 'Edit' mode in Favorites?

Re: [slim] iPeng vs. Android apps...?
I have both iPeng on an 8GB iPod Touch and SqueezeController on a Nexus One. iPeng is a more mature product and is therefore more robust and has been through one or two visual overhauls. SqueezeController is less mature with the very occasional glitch here and there but I wouldn't say it's flaky by any means. Some might say the navigation is slightly more intuitive, although the cosmetics are still being worked on (I'm helping out on the beta programme). One major plus for Android is the lack of restrictions on what is and isn't allowed. For instance, downloading tracks or whole albums / artists at a time to local storage is implemented in SqueezeController, but apparently disallowed (though theoretically easy to implement) by the Apple Police in their infinite wisdom. It's the principle of that which really jars for me to be honest. In terms of applications, until one or other brings streamed playing in first there's little in it. Both will take the place of a Controller easily. You're better off focusing on your other demands for the device. If it comes down to Apple vs. Android, I'd say that rests largely on whether you're someone who likes an easy, always-works-in-its-potentially-prescriptive way approach or something more flexible, open source with the pit-falls that go with it. FWIW I found myself in the second category. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75802 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How do I exit 'Edit' mode in Favorites?
Just to explain further what is happening. Using favourites is fine on the web interface provided I don't user folders. As soon as I enter a favorites folder it reverts to edit mode. I have tried stopping and restarting SqueezeCenter but that behaviour does not change. It looks like a bug to me. I cannot imagine why it would be intentional. I will have to wait until I get home to see how it looks on the Controller. If it looks OK on the controller I will leave things as they are as I only really use the web interface for organising things.

Re: [slim] Interesting Debate On Sonos
If the Touch has a mini-server built in (did I get that right?)... so instant plug and play with non-local music sources, doesn't that change the equation? Either way, Logitech -really- needs to put together a runs out of the box solution. Fastest way to do it would be to buy the company that's now building an integrated server solution, put it on some small-footprint platform, wrapped in logitech plastic and logitech logos. Put a wireless capability in it - so out of the box doesn't even require setting up a wireless router - just attach an antenna. Make sure the base unit (or whatever it's called) is labeled optional to not lose the current customer base. I'm pretty sure they could sell something like this well under the Sonos. It would have the only one base unit per household advantage. There are folks out there who really -prefer- a closed system. Look at iPhones and, to a lesser extent, Macs. Yes, it costs more. Yes, it's limiting. But the hardware/software combination, exactly as you are buying it, just works. Big attraction there. Many years ago, when I worked for Lotus, I spent some product liaison time in Cupertiono. I saw JFW up on a lot of office walls. When I finally asked, I was told it stood got Just Fu***ing Works. I could see (then and now) how customers might value that over openness or extensibility, or even over not having to throw away hardware when the software advances - and even at a price premium. I also wonder how much 'cognitive dissonance' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance) is involved - for those folks who have invested heavily (time and/or money) in either system. I certainly see some of it in Mac aficionados (more so years ago when the Mac price premium was basically -huge-). -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75415 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Once a reputation for a product or company is set in the market it can be difficult (though not impossible) for people to change their minds. I'm in my late 50s and still remember the reputations for reliability and ease-of-use that particular products had 30 and 40 years ago. Over the years some of those products (if they still exist) have gotten better and others worse, but I still have to make a conscious effort to get past my original impression. The original SliMP3 came from the geek side of things almost a decade ago and the product has always involved installing server software, configuring a few ports, messing with routers and so on. Nothing particularly hard once you've done it, but it can have the potential to look intimidating. In any case, it is still more than remove from box, plug in and press the play button.

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hi Locuth, I Had tried both 9090 and 9000 in the CLI settings but neither seem to work. If i set to 9090 then I just get 'Logon failed'. I am using the same login details as squeezebox on my PC and in my radio but still no luck. Any other ideas please? If I uninstall and reinstall it remembers my details. Where is the settings file kept so I can delete that and try a clean install. (installed on storage card).

[slim] Wireless signal drops every few seconds
SB3 (kitchen) is driving me mad. All was fine a few weeks ago, now it just loses connection repeatedly (and every time it's left alone for a few hours). I keep trying to get past the Waking up Slimserver / Connecting to Slimserver bit, and setting up network connections from scratch (both fixed and auto IP options) to no avail. Today I managed to look at the wireless signal strength which fluctuates between 58% and 70%. But, strangely, every 10-12 seconds (might be every 11 spot on but without a stopwatch I can't be more exact) the signal drops to 0%. To my knowledge I've not added or changed any settings, nor added any devices which might interfere (I know it doesn't like the microwave but that's another story and very short term obviously). I've even turned the fridge off but no change. The SB3 in the lounge works perfectly. I've tried several different router channels to little effect. Ideas ?

Re: [slim] Wireless signal drops every few seconds
Why not switch places with the SB3's to see if the problem follows the SB3 or if it is the location (wifi disturbances). If it's following the SB3 try it wired to the router instead of wifi. Iv'e never opened an SB3 some treads here suggest that the wifi card could get loose under some circumstances ? worth to investigate. The wifi card could also be broken, or the rest of the SB3 ? One could also swap the wifi card between the SB3's ? I've never tried this either, no idea if a bad wifi card can damage the SB3 or if a bad SB3 can fry the wifi card. Other forum members have repaired completely dysfunctional SB3 by removing a faulty wifi card and then used it wired instead. The original SB3 was sold in a version without wifi card, so it can function without it. -- Mnyb Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75886 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Great it works now. But please tell me. You unchecked the Logon checkbox and now it works ?

Re: [slim] Internet radio - disappears??
Internet Radio requires an internet connection! Obviously. Make sure your internet connection is visible to your SBS when it is starting up, otherwise you won't get that option. -- amey01 amey01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Playlist with Chinese filenames?
I am having some trouble getting playlist to work on files with Chinese names. I am using foobar2000 to create the m3u playlist, which is basically a text file that lists the individual files. This works fine for standard English files, but it doesn't work for Chinese files. Squeezecenter found the playlist, but the content is empty. I open the m3u files in a text editor, and I see the complete filename in Chinese, so the text file is written properly by foobar2000, but the file is not read correctly by squeezecenter? I tried .m3u8 files in foobar200 too, same result. I am running 7.4.2 on a XP box. Chinese is working correctly on my squeezebox v3, I can see the Chinese song name, as well as the Chinese song info. Just the playlist feature is not working. (playlist feature works for playlist that have only English filenames) How many different playlist format does squeezecenter support? Is there a better format I should be using for Chinese songs? -- wildgoose wildgoose's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75888 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Playing downloaded Podcasts, Radio Shows and Audio Books
I recently downloaded some episodes from several radio shows, plus a couple of audio books. Is there some plugin or other Squeezebox Server mechanism for automatically saving your place and resuming playback at the same point within an audio file? The only thing I've found is to use pause, but I can only listen to a single item, and not change between them and keep my place. For example, I could be in the middle of chapter 5 of an audio book, want to listen to a radio show, then return to the same place in the book at a later time. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75890 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimCtrl 1.3 out now
Muele - Did I say I'd upload something today?! Well it's a little more work than I thought. So it'll be tomorrow before I can post an update. But it's working fine. The complete albums list will be loaded much much faster. And the album-artist information will be added as you browse individual albums. For instance (on my PC) after browsing GENRE 'alternative' - 'all albums' 22 albums are getting the additional 'album-artist information. - am I still making sense - ? Yes - I'm getting to bed too late again.
