[slim] Buffering/ synchronisation/ alarm problems

2011-10-07 Thread JonWill

Hi all - not sure where to post this thread as I have too many problems,
adn changed too many tings in one go to have an idea of where to
start...

I recently changed my server from an NAS to a WHS 2011 server box
(1.3GHz dual core, 2GB RAM) which is rather nippy.  I also upgraded to
SBS 7.6.1.  Since then I have noted several problems:

- Synchronising players takes a long time
- My morning alarm on my Radio no longer plays the BBC Radio 4 stream -
it immediately play the back up alarm (I think this may be related to
this problem http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89292 but
did not occur in my previous set up)
- I am getting frequent rebuffering on my wireless players

I have been working on my wireless set up - I have changed the channel
and that has made things slightly more reliable, possibly, but I was
wondering if anyone had any idea of what might be causing my issues. 
And I can't role back to old hardware as the drives from my NAS are now
in my server ...

Thanks!

J

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator v3

2011-10-07 Thread t2capa

Hello.
Hope somebody here can help me.

First of all. I’ve used an earlier version of ACC and I think it is
marvelous! It gave me a very nice catalogue of all my music.


Now I have resintalled a new PC and a new Squeezebox server and I am
not able to make ACC run.

PC is running windows XP with servicepack 3. Norwegian version. This
means I don’t have C:\Program Files, but I have C:\Programfiler
Squeezebox server installed is latest version 7,6,1 and data and server
are all installed on the same PC
Running ACC 3.4 and MySQLconnection 5.1.9, (installed from
mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.9-win32.msi)
All 32bit
Windows XP, Squeezebox server, the music collection and ACC are all
installed and running on the same PC. Nothing is remote
I have removed HKEY-CURRENT_USER\Software\ACC key from the registry,
but still no success.
I have tried to turn off Windows firewall and antivirus but no
success.

I will be very happy any feedback on this.
Regards T2capa

I get this error message 3716 and a picture is attached

Yes, unfortunately bridging does not work with Rhapsody anymore, and
there are no plans to fix this. You could use an external bridging
device as a workaround (or a different music service, of course).

Re: [slim] Stop 'Play All Songs'

2011-10-07 Thread sts78

Sorry for grave digging this thread, but the play all menu item annoys
me too. More than once I clicked accidently on it. I have menus like
Composer-Genre-Work-Movement. A click on play all on the composer
level is near to useless (except you want a justification for going to
lunch, and who wants a 50 days playlist of dozens of composers?).

@erland:
Is there any way to create a parameter for the xml menus to hide this
play all on the concerning menu level? Maybe like


Code:


  menu
  hideplayall0|1/hideplayall
  menunameArtists/menuname
  ...
  /menu
  



With this you could create CB menus like 
Genre [no play all] - Artist [no play all] - Albums [play all] -
Tracks [play all]

Re: [slim] KFI 640 AM Los Angeles

2011-10-07 Thread SaharaCez

I finally found a working method:

1) I made sure my Boom was linking to SqueezeBox Server (actually it's
now Logitech Media Server) on my PC.  (instead of MySqueezeBox.com, as
I used to have it)

2) On the Boom off the root menu, I *manually* initiated a search for
KFI by actually entering in the characters K F I using the dial
knob.

3) Once the search successfully found KFI, I hit the 'next' arrow to
play the station.

This method seems to have worked...for now.  I saved the found
version of KFI as one of my six preset buttons, and it always seems to
play from there.  However, when I attempt to save the found version of
KFI as a Favorite, then try to play the Favorite later, KFI craps out. 
Same thing happens if I set the Boom's alarm to play the found version
of KFI at a set time.

This method of searching and saving ClearChannel stations to the six
presets also worked for KNEW and KOGO.  And similarly, playability
craps out using any other methodologies.

I suspect that this tenuous success means my Boom's days are numbered,
and I'm going to have to upgrade to one of the new AAC-friendly
Squeezebox models.  Hate to do that, though, and lose the double
speaker power of the Boom in the process...UNLESS...unless others on
this form can vouch for the equivalent/near-equivalent quality sound of
the newer models.  (suggestions welcomed!)

Cez.

Guys I know, it's a long time since the last update and there are still
some open bugs.
Sorry for that, but I'm currently in parent time with my son and that
somewhat limits my time.

But I'm working on the next release now and I'll promise you that the
next bugfix release is coming soon. Soon as in days not in months.

And my presence here on the forum should also be much more often again.

BTW: As the current release still has problems with some servers (DB
sync does not work) and renders the app unusable:

Anyone having major problems with 0.9.6.x can drop me a line by email (
android ATT flattermann DOTT net ) and I'll send you the old 0.9.5
release that you can use until the problems are sorted out.

Please use the subject SqueezeCommander Downgrade as I still have
some issues with my spam filter (it does not work at the moment and I'm
kind of DOSed by 1k mails per day).

Any mail with SqueezeCommander in the subject will be moved to a

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android

2011-10-07 Thread TechHome

Hi Christian,

Congratulations on fatherhood.  I've got 3-kids in my home and all have
SB radios in their rooms.  The oldest has a Motorola Defy (Android)
phone as well.  We definitely favor Android products with a total of 3
Android smartphones and a WiFi XOOM tablet.  My kids also have 2G iPod
Touch's with iPeng, so we have a range of devices and apps to power our
SB experience.

Having been an iPeng user long before owning an Android phone,
initially, if given a choice, I would reach for the iPod touch rather
than my Android phone to control the tunes.  However, the more I used
SqueezeCommander, the more I liked it.  Don't get me wrong, iPeng
rocks, but the Swype text input advantage of Android over iOS makes all
the difference in the world for doing searches.  

SqueezeCommander is currently heads and shoulders above all the other
Android control options.  What troubles me the most for our devices
is:

1. SqueezeCommander is unusable on Honeycomb, attempting to browse
artists in my Rhapsody Library immediately crashes the app

2. WiFi connection issues with SqueezeCommander on the phones

Impact of #1 to us is far worse as I am forced to use the logi app
which though decent, is no match for iPeng or S-Comm.  We still use
SqueezeCommander on a Moto Droid-X and HTC MyTouch 4g (Glacier) on a
daily basis, working thru the connection hiccups.  In comparison, the
issues with Honeycomb are so severe that I've uninstalled
SqueezeCommander on the XOOM for the time being.

Is there a formal bug process or can I help you with more info on the
above items?

Doug

1. Is caused by an undocumented change in the Honeycomb API.

That caused all Lists to crash the App.
I've tried to work around it and it works on most lists now, but
apparently not on the mentioned list.

I'll try to fix this ASAP. If you are interested in testing the beta
once I've fixed it, please drop me a line ( android ATT flattermann

Unfortunately, I cannot try Rhapsody here in Germany...

That should at least make the app usable on Honeycomb until the real
tablet version is finished.

2. Do you mean frequent reconnects within SqueezeCommander?

Re: [slim] VortexBox micro NAS (You asked for it)

2011-10-07 Thread ianl

I can see that there might be reasons why the micro appliance is not
such an attractive proposition now that there is another fanless but
bigger machine with a cd drive for slightly less.  

But I love mine which I bought early in 2009, except that there is a
problem when sending large amounts of data to it (via either Samba or
SSH).  I've looked on the Fedora forums and the issue might be the
Realtex r8168 ethernet chip and the driver used for it.  I can work
around this issue by always moving data onto the microappliance using
an external hard drive, but it is a pain having to do this every time I
buy a new cd.  

I'm just trying to collect together the things that I will need to
install Vortexbox 1.10 on my microappliance (a monitor with the correct
input socket, a USB keyboard, and possibly an external cd drive in case
the update procedure doesn't work).  

Can anybody (maybe Andrew?) reassure me that if I do go through all of
this, the microappliance will work at the end of it?  If somebody has
done this, and has found that it cures the flaw with the ethernet card
then that would be even better of course.  But it would be great if
somebody could tell me that they have already installed Vortexbox 1.10
on the Fit-PC/microappliance and that it works.

Re: [slim] clear channel radio station not playing again

2011-10-07 Thread SaharaCez

I finally found a working method:

(1) I made sure my Boom was linked to SqueezeBox Server (=Logitech
Media Server) on my PC. (instead of MySqueezeBox.com, as I used to have
it)
(2) On the Boom from its root menu, I *manually* initiated a search for
KFI by actually entering in the characters K F I using the dial
knob.
(3) Once the search successfully found KFI, I pressed the 'next' arrow
to launch the station stream.

...and hallelujah, KFI plays!!! (but be forewarned: along with the
expected station and programming titles, the screen display is now
cluttered with the lengthy AAC stream parameters) 

This method seems to work successfully -- FOR NOW. I saved the found
version of KFI as one of my six preset buttons, and it will launch
successfully whenever its assigned preset button is pressed. However,
when I attempt to save the found version of KFI as a Favorite, then try
to play the Favorite later, the stream will not launch. It also won't
launch the found/saved Favorite if I set the Boom's alarm to play it at
a set time.

This method of searching and saving ClearChannel stations to the six
preset buttons also worked for KNEW and KOGO. And similarly, launch
attempts consistently crap out using the saved Favorites methodology.

In spite of my limited success getting KFI and the other CC stations to
finally play, I suspect that with no AAC firmware upgrade for the Boom
coming, its days as my player of choice are probably numbered and I'll
soon have to upgrade to one of the new AAC-friendly Squeezebox models.
I hate the idea of having to do that, though, losing the double speaker
stereo power of the Boom in the process -- UNLESS... unless... others on
this forum can vouch for the equivalent/near-equivalent sound quality of
the newer Squeezebox models that have built-in speakers, all of which
appear to be mono.

 With this you could create CB menus like 
 Genre [no play all] - Artist [no play all] - Albums [play all] -
 Tracks [play all]
 

Could you try if something like this works ?

Code:


  menu
  playtypenone/playtype
  menunameArtists/menuname
  ...
  /menu
  


Just make sure you don't have two playtype elements on the same
level, if one already exists you need to change it.

I haven't tried it myself but the purpose of it is to make items as not
playable.

Re: [slim] Late night server hangs = ruins party :(

Take it from a frequent abuser of playlists while intoxicated, Party
Mode on iPeng is a lifesaver. Nothing drags a party down more than
having the music stop because someone hit the wrong button.
