Re: [slim] anyone using 7.5 embedded?
I would love to move to embedded, as it seems to give a snappy response with less resources. However, I cannot do without certain plugins: MIP, SugarCube, Custom Browse, Multi Library and Music Information Screen are essential to my current setup. Will these actually work in the Embedded version, or are plugins defeating the purpose of keeping things light and simple? :) -- matthijskoopmans www.linkedin.com/in/mattkoop matthijskoopmans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76099 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wireless Connectivity Issue
As suggested see what other WiFi signals and what ch's are in use around you. Unless you have b devices try just using g only (if your router allows it). What happens when you connect your SB3 to MySB.com? Still stutter? Still crash? This would take your computer and server out of the chain. Being only 15 feet away from the router I'd expect better signal strength to the SB3. Try the SB3 wired for a temporary testing period to see if the issue persists when wired. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76218 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] no internetradio, though stream works on notebook
Yes, call support. If no router is in use then I suspect your issue is with the computer you are using to connect the SB3. Such setups are actually more complicated than using a router. Your computer now has to deal with DHCP, IP handling, and internet connection sharing (all of which is what a router is specifically designed for). If you arrow BACK on your SB3 to Setup, scroll to connect to MySqueezeBox, scroll right to select it, what happens? I'll bet it cannot connect. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75725 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
Anything that can be downloaded and saved as a PDF, I think, can be the source. For instance, I collect the Gardiner/Monteverdi Choir Bach Cantatas. They have superb and extended programme notes, available to download as PDFs (although it's easy enough to convert and save pages that aren't using the Print menu). For Mac users, it is a piece of cake to attach these to albums in iTunes using these of Doug's Applescripts: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=pdfadder The downloads are then accessible from iTunes via a shortcut (a picture of a book) displayed in the interface next to a track listing in the album entitled Booklet. Clicking on the track opens Preview (or whatever your default app for looking at PDFs is) next to, or over, the iTunes window. What I mean is making this also possible in iPeng - only iPeng could do it better because it would give the ability to view these PDFs next to, and in the same view/appication as, all the other track info/artwork/playing info that iPeng displays already - and I am a big fan, by the way - on something the size of an iPad. In all ways but one (handling the actual cardboard) better than having the CD/LP covers themselves, as far as I can see. On 15 Mar 2010, at 10:23, pippin wrote: Interesting.

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
I take the point that iPeng already displays all the data that SBS can deliver, of course, and that iTunes data are not accessible to it. However, I absolutely was not writing about iTunes data, or expecting iPeng to access them. There is nothing about these PDFs that makes them in themselves iTunes data, any more than are the music files themselves, or the artwork and tags attached to them. It is true that the PDFs have a tag that attaches them to the music file which iTunes can read; that they are catalogued in the iTunes library (incidentally, it always strikes me as ludicrous that Apple insists on calling it the iTunes library when it is no more a library than is the chest of index cards in a real library's search room: it's merely a catalogue); and that they reside in the folders created by iTunes for the album. So, however, do and are the .aiff files on my music disk, and the tags and artwork associated with them. Yet none of these, as you know, are exclusively iTunes data. They are just as accessible to any other program or process that runs on the same machine, or on the same LAN, as they are to iTunes, be those applications Max or Amadeus Pro or Audacity or Logic or Sibelius or Coversc out or CDPedia or - because it can either directly read the tags, or the iTunes catalogue/library files - Squeezebox Server. In just the same way, these are merely ordinary PDFs readable in or by any application that is capable of rendering them (including Preview or Adobe Reader, for instance). In fact, these PDFs are not iTunes data even in the sense that the music files and other tags might be - absolutely not because iTunes is of itself quite incapable of rendering them. It can only understand the tag that says get something else to read me please. However, what is or is not iTunes data is beside my point, (or the topic of the thread, for that matter), which was merely to suggest another answer to the question: how should iPeng on iPad look? and to suggest that this is one look which it would be extremely advantageous to both systems - that is, both iPeng and SBS - to be able to deliver, by whatever means, on the iPad. If a plug-in is what is necessary to make PDFs accessible to SBS as well (as Preview and Adobe Reader, that is), and therefore to iPeng - and you will know a lot better than I if it is - then I entirely concur with your last sentence, and you've got a vote for your suggestion!

Squeeze center syncs with my iTunes. Every playlist appears twice on my squeezeboxes and iPeng and have done since I have had them. When I create a new playlist it only shows once initially but after an hour or so it then appears twice as well. The thing is, Squeeze center, I am guessing, is obviously scanning the playlist twice but once it has done this it just updates one of the playlists and leaves the other one static.

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
Yes, that's what I thought you meant, despite your use of the phrase. I presumed that the plug in you suggest would be to get SBS to get it/read it from the music library (that is, the real library - where the files are). Of course, a lot of the info is actually on line - available from the record companies (certainly in the case of new high quality classical releases). See the SDG site for the Bach Pilgrimage series (Gardiner/Monteverdi Choir/English Baroque Soloists) for an excellent example: all the stuff that goes into/onto a very good CD cover indeed is there in high res.

Re: [slim] Wireless Connectivity Issue
Hi folks. Thanks for all the thought you have put in.

Wireless laptop and Pc work brilliantly with the Belkin N+ Router.The issue isn't so much playing FLAC files (Which DO work perfectly wirelessly using softsqueeze on the laptop). But it's that the Squeezebox will connect but literally as soon as I start using the remote to flick through the menu's the thing just locks up. If i press the remote a few times it may wait several seconds before responding or will just say unable to connect to the server. As I said previously all works perfectly wirelessly which makes me think it's a wireless issue. I have come to the same conclusion that its the wireless chip in the SB3 that's faulty. I have even reserved static IP addresses and put the SB3 outside the DMZ on the router. If any of you have any other ideas please feelfree to suggest them.

Re: [slim] anyone using 7.5 embedded?
I don't have my SBs nearby to test it out, but I think it depends on which SBs you are connecting. At this point I don't think there is new firmware for the IP3K devices (SB/SB2/SB3/Boom) associated with 7.5-e. If that's true, then you could switch between 7.4.x and 7.5.x without hassle. But you would definitely have firmware ping-pong on any of the SqueezeOS devices (SBC, Radio, Touch). -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76099 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hello, I have a squeezebox 3 wireless which no longer turns on.

[slim] [ANN] Squeemote 1.3.4 approved for sale
I'm happy to announce that Squeemote 1.3.4 has been approved for sale and should be available on the App Store shortly. This release contains numerous fixes and improvements. Here is the change log: * In response to user feedback, Squeemote has an updated control mechanism; single-tap now plays automatically whilst tap-and-hold presents a contextual menu. * Improved support for large libraries; Squeemote now downloads album lists in smaller incremental chunks. * Improved artwork handling; artwork is no longer downloaded whilst the album list is scrolling due to its impact on performance but there is now an option to pre-cache artwork (disabled by default). Scrolling performance in the album view is improved in general. * Improved caching strategy with the ability to refresh individual lists (including shake to refresh). * Better notification of download progress when fetching large libraries (animated progress view). * Dramatically improved music service support, including Napster, Rhapsody and Pandora. Tested with all of the major music services but should work with all. Better handling of display of music service items including information such as artist bios. * New Music screen moved into its own tab and now honours the server new music limit setting rather than only showing the last 50 albums. * Fixed numerous bugs with initial connection to server; detect if the CLI port is incorrect rather than failing silently and try and detect when the server IP/ports have changed by rescanning for the server. * More optimal memory usage and handling of low-memory situations. * Numerous other minor bug fixes and improvements. * New, improved icon!

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
Hi Erland. The short answer to these questions is that I don't know, although I've tried to discover, as far as I am able with no knowledge either of AppleScript or tagging. I certainly cannot find the info itself in the .xml file, and the contents of the PDF, which run to several pages, are definitely not there. This appears to be the only section that might be relevant in the details for one track which has a PDF attached to it, but I see nothing different there from any other track that does not have an attached PDF. v0.99pb4 /string keyArtwork Count/keyinteger1/integer keyPersistent ID/keystring41FC9BDF0B1D9EF0/string keyTrack Type/keystringFile/string keyLocation/keystringfile://localhost/Volumes/music%20disk/iTunes/Budapest%20String%20Quartet/Beethoven%20Op.%200127%20(Budapest)_%20String%20Quartet%2012%20in%20E%20flat%20Major/5-05%20B'ven%20Op%20127_%2001.%20Maestoso%20-%20Allegro.aif/string keyFile Folder Count/keyinteger4/integer keyLibrary Folder Count/keyinteger1/integer I would think that the answers would be clear from the AppleScript itself (as revealed in script editor) to anyone who knows AppleScript and about tagging. That, I'm afraid, is not me. The PDF shows in the iTunes interface as a track name in the album to which it is attached, with its own shortcut icon, namely, a picture of a book on the right hand margin of the Name field. Whatever there is can only be a pointer for iTunes to the full PDF which is listed in Finder with the usual extension of .pdf along with the music files: in the folder for the relevant album within the iTunes music folder (a folder on an external FW disk, in my case, not the normal Media folder). It can be opened and read by either Preview or Adobe Reader - depending on the default PDF reader set - by double clicking on it in Finder in the usual way, completely independently of iTunes. Double clicking in iTunes opens the file in the default PDF reader in a new window. Geraint.

Re: [slim] Global volume
My 'SyncOptions plugin' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) also allows you to use relative volume synchronization if you want global volume control but don't want each player to have exactly the same volume. Others seem very happy using smartphone apps like iPeng that let you easily choose between local and global control -- see screenshot #3 on http://appshopper.com/music/ipeng -- I don't own an iThing or Android device to comment on those myself, but they certainly look like the best approach to volume control when you have some players synced. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76254 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
