Besides that, since IP3K players do hardly anything on their own without a server there aren't many things that would have to go into the player firmware. Things that won't get implemented now: - change the WOL behaviour so that you don't have to press the Power button twice (first to wake up the server, then wait until the server is up, and then again to actually turn on the player) - allow entering of a stream URL even when not connected to any server (probably WONTFIX anyway because they want you to use mysqueezebox.com) - allow entering of the actual WPA key (64 hex digits) instead of a passphrase and that's about it. I just thought of another one, but it slipped my mind before I could write it down, so probably it wasn't that important. ;) -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78767 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox randomly drops station
so you have the hardware, (what kind of SB is it?) and the SBS software both behind the sonicwall, meaning on the same LAN side? and you can't get the hardware to connect to the software? are both connections wired? sometimes it can be a pain to get them talking, you need to reboot etc... i would try this: forget mysb.com for the moment. start SBS and then start/install Squeezeplay on the same computer behind the sonicwall. try to force the proxy to squeezeplay (not sure if you can, but try). then try listening to different internet streams, see if it works. (what you do on squeezeplay should show up on SBS). try your shoutcast station too, (where is it btw, behind the sonicwall or not?) that should at least let you know how SBS/SP is working. then, try rebooting/factory resetting your hardware a few times, and getting it to connect to the SBS. if it doesn't connect to SBS, it could be the hardware, but it could be the sonicwall or other things too. sometimes you gotta reboot the device or reboot/play around in SBS to get it to work. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 40k+ mp3 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78019 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox randomly drops station
By "hit it" i meant i can't connect the Squeezebox to SBS, and i installed it locally and while the squeezebox said it never connected. It did somehow get connected once just long enough to update. But since then, it's impossible for either device to see one another. According to the sonicwall ports 9000 and 3483 are open as required by the squeezebox. the SBS still can't see the SB, and vice versa. I can however go to Mysqueezebox.com and using the remote control. change the song, pause it, play it, ect. I'm beginning to think faulty device at this point..

Re: [slim] PCMag review of Touch
I don't particularly like it when a source component absolutely requires that I have the remote in my hand to make use of it. At least with the SB Touch, I can still use it if my remote has slipped behind a sofa cushion or gone to wherever remotes go when you most need them... There are a number of other less conventional installation options where the touch interface would come to the fore, e.g., wall mounted controller for multi-room music systems, bedside headphone rig, desktop systems etc. To me, the touch interface is far from the main selling point, but I'm still glad it's there. -- dsdreamer -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Touch is packed with features and options to be used in multiple different usage scenarios. Features that may not make sense to you in a rack environment can be very useful in non-rack setups, and vice versa. Some may never even place the battery in the IR remote, some will never use the touch screen, some may never use TinySC, some will never use it's superior DAC, etc.. The point is that these features are all there to fit numerous different usage scenarios, and all at a very reasonable price. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Well I will preface my comments with I use my Touch with my Headphone rig so for me it is perfect device. I can understand the thought that a touch interface on a device in a stereo rack probably does not make much sense. But my question to that is why place it in the stereo rack? If you connect via spdif most setups would allow you to run spdif easily over 30ft. The other issue is even if you put it near your stereo why is have a Touch interface a "bad" thing? Yea I know it seems to be the "most" marketed part of the device but it is far from the most important part. For me even with the Touch within arms length I tend to not use the "touch" interface much because my iphone with iPeng is just a better interface and this is not really the fault of the Touch per se just the fact that the iphone can easily fit in one hand and is a more comfortable form factor. -- m1abrams m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What is the best app to sync squeeze with apple products?
I use SB for my home music system and itunes for synching with my ipods/iphones. I'm not sure there is anything much easier for you to do, but then again, I find it pretty simple. Here's what I do: 1. My SB stuff is not connected to ITUNES in any way. That is, I do NOT use the SB/itunes integration features. 2. My music is all on a USB hard drive connected to my home computer (that runs SB Server and iTUNES). Skipping some of the details about how things are organized, assume it is all on D:\music (my actual setup is more complicated as I have FLAC files that only SB sees, mp3/aac files that both SB and Itunes sees, and then mp3 versions of FLAC files that only itunes sees; this is all handled automatically by my file directory structure). 3. I tell SB Server that the music library is D:\music. It scans this, creates its own database, etc. I then use SB to play this music. 4. I also tell ITUNES that the music library is D:\music. Itunes keeps its own library updated with this info. I don't use itunes for playing anything, but I do synch my ipods/iphones to this ITUNES account. 5. If I add a new album, song, etc. I add this to my itunes library. There are several ways to do this depending on whether you want itunes using its own naming/directory structure approach. For example, itunes now has an automatic way to do this. You can put the new music in the "automatically add to itunes" subdirectory (see link). http://lifehacker.com/5356619/itunes-finally-adds-watched-folder-to-automatically-add-new-music 6. To make SB see the new music, I simply do the incremental music scan (scan for new music) or occasionally I simply do a rescan of my complete library. Bottom line: I have one copy of files on a drive and both itunes and SB looks at these files, but otherwise don't interact with each other. Let me know if you have any questions or I can clarify. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78499 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MusicIP and accented characters in 7.5.1
Hmmm, I did not noticed, until I saw this thread, that this accented character issue with MusicIP was back. I guess it came back with 7.5 as it was working fine for me with previous releases of SBS. My library has tons of World music and I have used accented characters in the tags, path, and files names. I'm not about to rename them as I feel that it takes away an aesthetic aspect of my library. I have not been using the "M" in the Web UI to generate MusicIP frequently enough to notice that it was not picking up accented characters. I have been using SpiceFly SugarCube and this plugin uses MusicIP to create its dynamic playlists. As far as I can tell, SugarCube has no issues retrieving tracks from MusicIP that have accented characters. I guess there is something that SugarCube is doing to handle these MusicIP exceptions. I can use a seed track with foreign characters in its path, file name, and tag and SugarCube retrieves the next track. It even retrieves next tracks with accented characters in them. "Maybe"... just maybe... some method could be added to the MusicIP plugin or SBS so that it can retrieve the MusicIP generated tracks in a similar way that SugarCube does. Having to rename all my existing files and having to edit tracks that are automatically named "correctly" as I rip them with dBpowerAMP is not an option for me. I also want to maintain the integrity (The correct names of Artists, Albums and Tracks) of my library as I don't use it exclusively with SBS and in the future a better player/mixer might come up that has no issues with these characters. -- tamanaco tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78059 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have checked several of the remote solutions that are hacked together already. My thought that perhaps it was possible to use one of the already existing remote solutions. By installing a packet sniffer it would probably be easy to see what messages the remote application (i.e. iPhone app, webpage, Android app) sends to the "server remote application" (the part installed on the machine running Spotify). The most promising project I've found is this: http://h3x.se/. It is available today as a java app and works. But the interesting thing is that the guy is developing a new version based on the OFFICIAL Spotify api and it is my understanding that his solution will be able to stream the sound as well. If not; we can use his library and the dsbridge solution. I've send the guy a message asking if he would be interested in using his library for the squeezebox solution and he said many had asked for that and that he was willing. So perhaps if you contact him you guys could work something out? If not I think it could be wise to wait a couple of weeks to see how his C# library based on official Spotify api comes along and then I can perhaps create some middleware between his app and you squeezebox plugin? I think we can make this happen :-) -- mariowing SqueezeCenter on Windows Home Server.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox randomly drops station
there is a setting in SBS to allow you to force it to proxy an internet stream to the hardware, instead of the hardware handling it directly (and alone). not sure where, but its in there. (it is not a web surfing proxy, thats different and unrelated to this) in order to do that, you will need a SBS install BEHIND the sonicwall with the hardware. i suggest you test the streams out on winamp or some computer first, that is behind the sonicwall, to see if the problem persists outside the slim universe. you will not know if its slims fault, or the sonicwalls, until you do. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 40k+ mp3 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78019 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
