Re: [slim] Win7 firewall and server / duet
Hi and thanks for that reply. I did see that, and this is by no means a knock on that post or poster, but a comment on my lack of skills. In other words, I tried that and got nowhere. I know I must be doing something stupid, but I can't figure out the error. Thats why I am requesting the painful step by step that verbosely describes exactly how and what to click and do. I would be very appreciative if someone would do so, because right now I am having to leave the private firewall portion disabled. Thats ok for now, but I don't want that to become my new normal. :) Thanks.

Hello to Everyone. I am using AMX to control my home theater, there have been several threads over at AMX on how useful it would be for apps to be launched within tp control. I have attached the info from the thread, hope it helps. Also the link to Kaleidescape with more info. Much Appreciate your help Cheers Steve == Launching_Apps Application developers for iOS need to specifically implement support for the URI/URL method, in order to launch their application from other applications. It's trivial to do so, but it is best to contact the application developer to request the information in cases where the information may not be readily available. Kaleidescape have published the information within their 'Integrating with Kaleidescape' document, which is available here: http://www.kaleidescape.com/files/do...p-for-iPad.pdf In short, to launch the Kaledescape application from a link in TPControl use: TPCURL-kscape:// This can be implemented either on a buttons properties for 'command port: 0 - loopback port', or issued as a send_command from code. You may have missed this from earlier in the thread: Application developers for iOS need to specifically implement support for the URI/URL method, in order to launch their application from other applications. For example, Kaleidescape support the URL application launch method in their iOS application and publish the syntax in their documentation. Other developers of iOS applications may or may not provide a method e.g Sonos currently do not. However, in the case where a method does not exist, a hack is mentioned in this Sonos thread here: http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=18409 (page 2) It is typically trivial for developers to add support in iOS, so if you contact the manufacturer for details, they should be able to tell you whether they provide support or not. TPControl can launch any application that supports the method, using the TPCURL command. Android applications can inherently be launched without the developer needing to add support. The challenge is in determining the URL if not published, but again if unsure the best idea is to contact the developer. In summary, - iOS: a URL may or may not exist - contact application developer for confirmation - Android: a URL method will exist - contact application developer for details HK-Steve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80575 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Buffering problem with Duet
Ok that's interesting. I don't actually know. I think if I go down and dig into the remote's menu system it will tell me what type of stream but is there a way from the browser interface to answer this question? Also, why is it that AAC would be transcoded to Flac? That seems wasteful as you can't create something from nothing (aka, lossless from lossy). Might be just my misunderstanding. Also, why would AAC cancel the proxy buffer settings? Last thought ... I'm assuming the processor load you're talking about is on my computer that would be transcoding between AAC and Flac and therefore I don't think there is any issue there based on the fact that the two radios (duet and boom) can be streaming the same station and only the duet has problems. Also the computer is quite powerful and I never see any CPU spikes when this problem is happening (although it is possible that I'm just not looking at the right time ... still I'd be surprised). bpa wrote: Which format are you playing the BBC stream AAC or WMA ?

Re: [slim] Buffering problem with Duet
One fact neither the duet receiver or boom do AAC natively ,so the server has to transcode , that would not solve your problem ,but just so you know. And why lossles you cant transcode one lossy format to another lossy without losing soundqality (sometimes it gets spectacularly bad ) . The lossles rendition of the lossy stream would sound the same it would not improve in any way but at least be the same. You can invoke lossy transcoding (I think havent tried recently ) by imposing a bitrate limit on the player then it will always be the selected rate of mp3 whatever you play .

k...@ken.net wrote: Ok that's interesting. I don't actually know. I think if I go down and dig into the remote's menu system it will tell me what type of stream but is there a way from the browser interface to answer this question? What format will initially depend somewhat on the menu you have used to play the stream. If it is the Logitech BBC Radio App - then it will always be WMA. If it is used the Tune-in then it can be AAC or WMA. If it is using the BBC iPlayer plugin then it will dpeend on the settings. When playing the fpormat is displayed intthe more info on what ever is controlling the stream or on the Browser interface on the RHS just under the station name - there will be the speed and format. Also, why is it that AAC would be transcoded to Flac? That seems wasteful as you can't create something from nothing (aka, lossless from lossy). Might be just my misunderstanding. LMS will transcode to Flac so that no more losses will be introduced i.e sound quality is kept as best as possible. If you transcode to MP3 then sound quality will be worse than that broadcasted. Also, why would AAC cancel the proxy buffer settings? LMS will not be proxying because it will be transcoding in LMS and then sending Flac stream. Radio Streram buffer timeout is for streams which go directly from Station to player (i.e. audio does not go through local LMS) - transcoding means data first arrives in LMS and is then transcoded. Last thought ... I'm assuming the processor load you're talking about is on my computer that would be transcoding between AAC and Flac and therefore I don't think there is any issue there based on the fact that the two radios (duet and boom) can be streaming the same station and only the duet has problems. Also the computer is quite powerful and I never see any CPU spikes when this problem is happening (although it is possible that I'm just not looking at the right time ... still I'd be surprised). Without details of network or LMS server, all I can do is highligh possible issues. It is up to you to research them. Change to WMA and if issue goes away then you know it is either CPU and/or network. It is possible that two flac streams is overloading your network or the duet signal is just not quite of Flac. That is for you to investigate (e.g. use LMS network load test) bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97350 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Win7 firewall and server / duet
Let's try taking the KIS approach first. A question... Is this a desktop type PC that never goes anywhere? If so it may help things if you run it with a static IP on your network. This will simplify some things like answering the question of what IP do I use to access the SqueezeServer UI from another device on my network?. Now to try the simple way. Uninstall your SqueezeServer (Slimserver or LMS depending which name of the week we're on) and also delete the Squeezebox directory in C:\ProgramData. Go into your firewall and set Domain and private back to normal (On, block inbound and allow outbound). Delete all Squeezebox inbound and outbound rules. Now install your chosen SqueezeServer. I think you will get a security prompt asking if you want to allow the program to communcate over the network. Just say Yes. This should create the correct required firewall rules. Squeeze will need to do a full scan of your library too. You may or may not need to do a factory reset on the Duet controller and receiver to get them reconnected. w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97332 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squeezeslave: 1.2 released
Hi
I'm looking to find a way to change the name of the sound device that is
being shown in squeezeslave -L. I've tried in udev ATTR{id}=blah,
NAME=blah with no luck.
I'm looking at having the ability to use multiple sound cards of the
same type in LinuxMCE.
I looked at the code and I see that it is using GetAudioDevices() but
I cannot find the code for that to see what is being looked at there.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It should be cheaper than what Logitech paid for it, and I'm sure Andy knows how to revive it in the right direction again. This has already been answered in other threads, but to repeat it: 1. Logitech is still using most of the software in the UE Smart Radio products so they can't sell the software and the online streaming services access rights. 2. The only thing Logitech could sell is the Squeezebox brand name but people have already previously tried to buy that but they didn't want to sell it. 3. The founders of Slim Devices have moved on and if they wanted to do something in this market segment I'm sure they would like to do something new revolutionary and not pick up the pieces after Logitech. The Squeezebox brand is going to die, it's just a matter of time, we might be able to give it alive for a while but it's not going to be a long term solution. The good news is that if there are people who are willing to pay for products in this market segment there is probably a business opportunity and this usually means that someone eventually will provide what we need, this is also just a matter of time. As I've said previously, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the future of music streaming starts right here in this community in one way or another. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
