Re: [slim] Anyone thought about AIRPLAY support in Squeezebox Server?

Yes, I was aware there would be issues as it was a very quickly
hacked-together proof of concept. Thanks for the feedback :-)

The hairtunes pipe support was added specifically for SBS
integration...

[slim] Warning ! squeezeslave-7.5.1-9211_all.deb caused problems all over Ubuntu 10.10

2011-04-26 Thread sl789

I did a colossal mistake installing squeezeplay_7.5.1-9211_all.deb on
Ubuntu 10.10.
Suddenly, I started having problems all over the OS in absolutely
unexpected places  (for example I couldn't play .avi files in Movie
Player, applications menu got screwed etc.).
Adter I purge this package everything returned to normal.

As an added benefit the package itself didn't work.

Beware

Both softsqueeze and squeezeslave work.

What do you mean Softsqueeze didn't work ?
Didn't start ?
No audio ?
Crashed ?

Given you have had problem with 3 softplayers - I think the issue might
be something in your system config.

tried to invoke as

(I run

Got completely garbled unreadable screen
Looks like the same text was written over multiple times.

In addition, the package caused the problems all over OS 
(Movie player stopped working etc).

After purging the package everything returned to normal.
I searched thru threads and found at least one other person describing
similar problem ( garbled screen ).

I run Ubuntu 10.10 on Dell XPS 410 for many months without problems at
all.
squeezebox server 7.5.4 works flawlessly with two SB3 boxes ( 7.5.2
worked great as well.) I briefly installed 7.5.3 but downgraded back to
7.5.2 due to multiple problems and waited until 7.5.4

There seems to be a problem with recent builds of Squeezeplay.

I'm not sure who created the Softsqueeze rpm but it looks the issue is
with the install not Softsqueeze.

Do you want Softsqueeze on the same system as your server ?

If so, try using installing as a Plugin ?

To get help for problem please always give more info with the request.

Softsqueeze is a soft player with only a few inbuilt decoders so it
relies on other app for decoding.  So problems can be format specific
so describe issue in more detail ?

1. How much is the file playing too fast - compare time to play track
against proper time to play ?  
2. Format of file such as MP3, WMA, AAC, ALAC, Flac etc.
3. Characteristics of audio stream 44.1kHz, 48KHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz ? 
16bit or 24 bit ? 1 or 2 channel ?

Hi bpa !

Thanks for your help. I've installed softsqueeze as a separate
application using your instructions and it installed and works OK (the
increaded speed issue remains though) . Regarding the files who plays
with increased speed, those a flacs (for now I don't see any common

There is another problem as well. A flac file start playing OK and
after a minute or saw it starts stuttering

44.1/16 is v. standard and is played directly by jFlac and have no
problems.

Have your problem files been compressed by a non standard encoder ?  

You can test by re-encoding the problem files with standard Flac at a
lower bit rate to see if problem goes away.

Highly compressed file take longer to decode at startup and could
explain your initial stutter - again test with a re-encoded problem
file to isolate the issue.

Excellent - I assumed it was for Macs...

Any thoughts on whether there's any sensible way to multiplex multiple
clients?  You wouldn't want more than one playing at once, but if one
client is connected but idle then it would be handy if another could
connect and play.

The current hack I'm considering is simply having a regular task which
erases and recreates the named pipe if its mtime/ctime is older than a
specified timeout... race-conditions abound, but hairtunes will re-open
the pipe if it's disconnected when it next receives data.

As an aside it makes we wonder why SbS does not come with a Player as

When I purchased my Vortexbox (VBA) it came with an integral player.

Re: [slim] Why is it showing double albums on my Touch?

2011-04-26 Thread grodri02

I dont know why it still showing double albums.

My Directory is d:/music.

For example, for an album I have the following in the Music Folder:

Loose Tracks - single tracks of various artists.
Folders - Lossless Albums  - Adele - 19 - Tracks
- 21 - Tracks

When I click on Artists, Adele, I see four albums, two of the 19 and
two the 21 Albums. Why? Should I arrange it differently? I dont have
any playlists or shortcuts.

Also, I feel that this makes my scanning do double the work therefore
double the time.

I agree that can be confusing for new users, but one fairly obvious
reason is that they don't make any money on the software, only on the
hardware. A second is that with very scarce development resources, they
don't have the time/people to support any of the software players, all
of which are either 3rd party contributions or perpetual beta. Third,
for a lot of users the idea of SB is to play music _away_ from the
computer. Why bundle a player with the server software when (a) many
people aren't interested, and (b) it's easy to download separately? 

The last point also pertains to SB's cross-platform nature. For
example, in my case, when I want a software player it's usually on
Windows or Maemo (Nokia N800). But my SBS is on debian Linux, so a
bundled player probably wouldn't be useful anyway.

Vortexbox came with an integral player because it's designed to be a
straight-out-of-the-box solution. The VBA people also make their money
on hardware, not software, and including squeezeplay in the distro
allows them to market the VBA as a player as well as a server.

I would say that for most users (but certainly not all), the SBS web ui
isn't the preferred interface. Rather, most people turn to one of the
remotes, such as an SB infrared remote, SB Controller, iPhone/iTouch
with iPeng, Android phone, or other device. One of the main ideas
behind SBs is being able to control your music without sitting at the
computer.

If you want a more refined front-end than the SBS web ui, you may want
to look at Moose or muso, which are dedicated Windows applications for
controlling SBs.

Finally, the SB protocol (slimproto) is open and documented, so it
should be possible to write a Winamp plugin to control Squeezeboxes,
though I'm not so sure about WMP's capabilities in this regard. For
example, someone wrote such an interface for foobar2000, software that
may be considered in the same family as Winamp. Someone just needs to
write the Winamp plugin.

 I would say that for most users (but certainly not all), the SBS web ui
 isn't the preferred interface. Rather, most people turn to one of the
 remotes, such as an SB infrared remote, SB Controller, iPhone/iTouch
 with iPeng, Android phone, or other device. One of the main ideas
 behind SBs is being able to control your music without sitting at the
 computer.
 
 If you want a more refined front-end than the SBS web ui, you may want
 to look at Moose or muso, which are dedicated Windows applications for
 controlling SBs.
 
 Finally, the SB protocol (slimproto) is open and documented, so it
 should be possible to write a Winamp plugin to control Squeezeboxes,
 though I'm not so sure about WMP's capabilities in this regard. For
 example, someone wrote such an interface for foobar2000, software that
 may be considered in the same family as Winamp. Someone just needs to
 write the Winamp plugin.

Hi, I wasn't aware of Moose - just checked it out and it looks really
good. Much easier and faster to control the player. So thanks for
pointing that out to me! I understand that a plugin e.g. for Winamp
could be written by someone. I was just assuming that Logitech might
want to put more effort here by themselves (e.g. convincing MS to
support it directly), as this functionality is bascially what Apples
Airplay does and with Airplay integration in many A/V receivers this
year, it became a direct competitor for the Squeezebox.

Re: [slim] Why is it showing double albums on my Touch?

2011-04-26 Thread Tom Hutcheson

grodri02;627668 Wrote: 
 I dont know why it still showing double albums.
 
 My Directory is d:/music.
 
 For example, for an album I have the following in the Music Folder:
 
 Loose Tracks - single tracks of various artists.
 Folders - Lossless Albums  - Adele - 19 - Tracks
 - 21 - Tracks
 
 When I click on Artists, Adele, I see four albums, two of the 19 and
 two the 21 Albums. Why? Should I arrange it differently? I dont have
 any playlists or shortcuts.
 
 Also, I feel that this makes my scanning do double the work therefore
 double the time.

Are some of your Loose Tracks from the albums 19 or 21? What I
notice is that the software seems to consider not just the Album title
but also the path and the result is the way you're seeing the dupes.
If you want to you can change the names of the Loose Track albums to
19 - Loose or whatever - you'll still have 4 Adele albums showing but
at least they will be uniquely named. I noticed this when I acquired
some Mono recordings and I already had the Stereo ones. Another
possibility might be to create kind of a double disc CD so that Disc-1
is the lossless and Disc-2 is the lossy (both Disc-1  Disc-2 folders
as subfolders of 19) - I think this way you could keep the Album
names identical (i.e., 19).

That's not implemented in SqueezeCommander right now, because

That will be included in the special Tablet version that I'll release

No...both 19 and 21 albums are in Adele folder where that folder is in
Lossless Album. There are no other tracks of the same kind. The 19 and
21 are seperate folders too.

This is frustrating! Thanks for your help.

Are ALL tracks showing up in both instances of the albums, or are some
tracks showing in one album and the rest in the other?  This can happen
if your titles are not EXACTLY the same on all tracks (extra trailing
space, for example), or if you happen to have DISCNUMBER tags and they
are not quite right, or
Obvious question - have you done a rescan everything, or just a
rescan new/changed?

Re: [slim] How to create an auto updating playlist?

Have you checked out erland's suite of plugins yet (e.g., Dynamic
Playlist, SQL Playlist, etc.)?  One example of a playlist I created
using his tools is a random play that includes only songs recorded
during the period between 1962-1970, excluding holiday songs, and
playing songs I've rated highly more frequently.  It adds songs to the
playlist 10 at a time, so anything recently ripped and scanned is
included in the pool.

Re: [slim] Finally, the best Controller App arrives at iOS!

2011-04-26 Thread tktran

Long time lurker, seldom poster.

I've been a Squeezebox user since '07, but followed it's development
since it was just Slim Devices, limited availability, Squeezebox 3 era.
Having seen the takeover by Logitech, I'm glad they haven't killed it
off or run it into the ground.

IMHO the development of an iOS/Android app is expected, and probably a
little overdue. I feel that although the Sonos is technically an
inferior product, it's marketted and sold far better.

I installed the app on my iPad 2 and gave it a spin. Although it
provides fairly basic functionality, if it's as good as the default
infra-red remote control that ships the SB's, the vast majority of
users have little to complain about. Especially when considering the
price.

A third party app will need to deliver a superior experience and/or
features to stay viable.

[slim] Need part # for 30-pin connector part inside transporter on front panel pcb

2011-04-26 Thread PJslug

Hi,

I've had a problem with a modification to my Transporter where an
upgraded transformer came loose in shipping and broke one of the 30 pin
connectors on the front PCB behind the display and damaged the ribbon
cable. I was able to get new 8 ribbon cables from Molex as part of a
sample request, but the connectors I have ordered are the wrong ones
and these parts are apparently very hard to locate. I'm pretty sure the
pitch is 0.5mm, but this new connector (Molex part # 52559-3052) isn't
seating properly in place of the old one. So if anyone can tell me the
proper part # for the 30 pin SMD connector on the front PCB (which is
also the same one as on the main PCB board) I'd be forever grateful.

Thanks so much - 
Phil

 Using the hardware volume buttons.

 first, but real Squeezbox follows soon). It seems that it starts back
 at 0 every second try.

Using hardware buttons while not on the Now Playing screen? I can confirm I'm 
seeing odd behaviour there too (eg. not going to 100%, always starting at 0). 
Will have to investigate. Would you mind filing a bug report?

 On my HTC Desire I definitely cannot use the album or artist list. Only
 if I don't have a scrolling speed faster than two albums/seconds. If I

I'm sorry, I might have asked already... how large is your library, how many 
items would be in those lists? As I said this is working fine for me (440 
artists, 1233 albums). I can flick through them, jump around, drag it etc. 
While it's not super smooth, I haven't seen it lock up in several weeks :-/.

 do it faster it instantly hangs and feels like it is crashed.

Not a solution, but interesting none the less: sometimes rotating the device 
would unlock it...

 Any chance of you looking further into the problem?

There's a bug report over at the Sencha Touch forums 
(http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?104155-FIXED-131-Android-Scrolling-Issues).
 We're trying to re-open that bug report as quite obviously it's not fixed. But 
I don't know how much they (sencha) can do about it.

 On my HTC Desire S the srolling issue renders the app unusable :(

Which scrolling issue btw? There's more than one...
