Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v3
yorknh;550789 Wrote: Is there a way to reduce the number of columns to 1 when creating the full catalog? Some of the classical music track names are exceptionally long and line wrapping makes it difficult to read. It would be worse if I were to try to print, which I would like to do, but aside from just not looking good, it wastes a lot of space. Also, in the quick reference, if you sort by artist and display genre, there isn't enough space between genre and the next field whether that be year or codec. I'm sorry to say that single column mode is not supported or has been a demand for. This among the display of composer etc would belong to the set of features for ACC to properly support classical music. This requires a lot of coding which I cannot justify by the demand, time required and funding. My focus on short time will be on supporting ACC on the upcomming version of SBS making the jump to SQlite instead of MySQL. -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for Squeezebox'_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl)Server . 1xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xRadio, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SBS SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74452 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can't connect to BBC radio from outside UK
Hi - I'm on holiday in Europe using local wifi connections to listen to internet radio via my laptop and Boom. All works well - except I can't get any BBC stations on the Boom using either the native SS 'Internet Radio' links or the iPlayer plugin. I get a message reading 'connecting' then 'stopped.' The streams play fine directly on the laptop using BBC iPlayer, so I guess I must have a server setting wrong somewhere.

Re: [slim] Can't connect to BBC radio from outside UK
As i understand it (and I am no expert here!) thee are low bit rate (56kbps) versions of the streams that work outside the UK. Your Boom favorites are probably set to the BBC iplayer 128kbps streams, which won't play - if you navigate to the BBC through the Radio Stations menu you should be OK. iPlayer on your laptops knows where you are and is playing the appropriate streams.

Re: [slim] Can't connect to BBC radio from outside UK
BBC iPlayer plugin will work outside the UK if you go down through the menus. Favorites will be using UK only URLs. There are no MP3 streams outside UK only WMA and Flash/AAC so if you have set the plugin to play MP3 streams only - it will fail. Your best chance is with WMA. Make sure you are up to date with BBC iPlayer plugin / applet as there were problems last week that needed a plugin update.

Yes, the iPlayer pluggin works outside UK. I use it every day in Cyprus. BBC Radio will play outside UK from the iPlayer screen on a computer, BBC TV is not available. iPlayer TV is available outside UK if you use a VPN agent to make iPlayer think you are in UK.

I find they are more amazed when you use a laptop to log into your SBS server computer and commence playback of playlists on the actual hardware player. This way you are utilizing the full SBS UI, not just a software player.

I also take care of another 450 GB by maintaining a copy on the raids and another off-site on an external USB. p The best advice: It took a long time to get this done.
