2011-05-23 Thread mikael_b

It seems that Spotify are providing some Bob Dylan albums but I can only
listen to them from my pc, when i try to run the playlist through my
Squeezebox Touch I get a message claiming "This track is not available
in your region"
Any ideas??

Re: [slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date

2011-05-23 Thread vagskal

I use the Custom Browse menu for new albums. For me it shows the albums
in the order I added them to SBS. It is a bit slow on my setup though.
I had to limit it to 200 albums to get it to show at all and still it
sometimes chokes SBS.

You could also import your SBS database into muso. Muso has a nice view
where you can have the albums sorted by date added (a-z or z-a) the way
you want to (and you can suppress single file albums, for example, from
showing up if you like). 

I still keep the standard new music menu to check that any tag changes
I make are picked up by SBS.

Having read nothing here, I have to recommend not running the "lastest
squeezeplay" and expecting anything other than disappointment. Try
turning that off first. (I could be wrong and it wouldn't be the first
time.)

Hi Mike,

Maybe you could experiment with the settings you see (and we don't) and
you could chip in helping here instead of being sarcastic? We will help
you if you can say what you try and what happens. 

(I see no reason why SBS should be expected to control your NAS disk
hibernate.)

My friends here aren't really that mean about where you post. Listen to
yourself.

Re: [slim] Using Apple Lossless in a wireless system.

2011-05-23 Thread pski

The vast majority of my music is M4A: apple lossless.

So far as I understand, this is converted by the SBS to flac for
playback.

I'm not sure about the Touch since the gods have not provided one for
me to test but if it proves to to incapable of serving M4A, it would be
a real deficit.

Wireless would make no difference.

Now this went actually much much faster then I expected it to go :)
Did I mention I always think I should have done this earlier?

OK, here we go

Fanfare!

And the winner is Triode!
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=632918

His plugin is so cool, it definitely opens up so much more music to my
Squeezebox. OK, YouTube may not be for "serious" listening, but face
it: there is just EVERYTHING out there.
Just today, I - again - heard some obscure song on the radio which I
really find and which I never actually could get hold of - not through
Amazon, iTunes, Napster or Spotify which are the sources I usually try
(OK, maybe it's due to the band name which translates into English
somewhat like "The dead crack-whores in the trunk"). Know what, this
time I found it and guess where :)

So, let's get to the important point:
Triode really earned himself the iPad.

Now the only questions left (to Triode) are:
- Which iPad do you want, 32GB WiFi or 16GB 3G?
- Which choice of SmartCover do you want?
(and to myself)
- Where the hell do I get an Apple power adapter clip for the UK
from...

Thanks for doing this, it's a great plugin and I believe it will
seriously enrich the Squeezebox Universe. Let's hope YouTube now keeps
their links as they are...

Is there anyway to get my Squeezebox to play other things which play in
the NPR Player.  For instance, each week NPR Music features First
Listens which I'd love to stream throughout the house via my
Squeezebox.

Any thoughts on how to find the correct URL?

I totally agree - now I'm there though, hopefully I can sort the dates
out and I won't need to revisit too often.

Unfortunately my vba / Python skills are totally non-existent, so if
anyone has anything they can help with it would be most appreciated.

You have to admit, this problem is temporary in its very nature. :)

Best avoided by tagging the albums properly the first time, so you
won't have to revisit.

Now to answer your questions:
1) I don't think so.
2) There are a lot of utilities to set the date to something specific,
but I am not aware of any software that does exactly what you want.
Your best bet would probably be to write something yourself, in e.g.

[slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date

2011-05-23 Thread hunta

SqueezeCenter lists 'New Music' based on modified date rather than
created date. Therefore if I go through updating artwork, or any other
tag data, I lose the natural order.

The created date is untouched, and seems to be much more reliable for
reflecting when files entered my library.

1) Can I use this for determining new music instead of the modified
date?

2) If not, as I suspect, does anyone know of a utility to update the
file modified date based on created date? I've found a few which allow
manual stipulation of a date, but not which will perform batch updates
based on another value.

Re: [slim] Connecting... Buffering... Connecting... Buffering... Connecting... Buffering...

2011-05-23 Thread bpa

Have you tried increasing Radio Station Buffer it is helpful if the
station has a "lumpy" stream.
Increase WebUI Setting/Advanced Network/Radio Station Buffer and click
Apply.

Another suggestion

If the stream is MP3 or WMA then the stream goes from station direct to
Boom to be played.   If the stream is MP3 or WMA then you can try
getting SBS to proxy the stream and so the stream goes from station to
PC and then to Boom so PC will do the networking handling. 

Change WebUI Settings/Player/Audio/MP3 Streaming Methods/ to "Proxied
Streaming" and click Apply.

Ignore the "MP3" IIRC it is true for both WMA and MP3
