Cool.

Correction, for me, it always defaults back to intermediate (1x?) not
full screen. It never remembers 'HD'.

All my album art is 750x750 if that makes a difference.

ALSO, when I swipe to the right from album art, I get a list of the
tracks but if I hit a track it just glows and doesn't change to that
track. Is it supposed to?

[slim] My new Anthem MRX amp is delaying the audio breaking SB sync

2013-02-06 Thread gvh

Apologies if this is an old one. I've replaced an ageing Arcam AV amp
with an Anthem MRX300 for my main system. The Arcam had an analogue
bypass for music playing and I was happily syncing multiple SB systems
in the house. The Anthem, being a fancy computer, has introduced a delay
in the audio and I'm wondering if there are ways to compensate in the SB
sync software. Can I delay the other players to get them all in line?
I'm sending Flac over optical to the Anthem from a Touch and using ARC
but the delay was there before ARC was setup.

Am I just going to have put up with it or start using the Zone 2
output?
(any suggestions to go pre-power at this point will be answered by my
bank manager, besides which I love the ARC sound)

 Probably far too late for the last two replies to this but an archived
 version of stuffedspacedog's instructions can be found at

 for future reference.

Thank you. If this disappears from archive.org too, here are the steps
:

 Instructions for Using Foobar2000 to send music to your Logitech
 SqueezeBox or Transporter (Windows Only)
 
 With thanks to Marae for the original AutoIt script posted on
 HyrdogenAudio.
 
 1. Download and install the latest Foobar2000 (it should work with
 versions higher than v0.9x)
 
 2. Download and install AMIP for Foobar2000 :
 http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/amip/download#amip
 
 3. Download FooSQ from wherever you can find it
 
 Note: this is a unicode binary, so it only works in Windows XP, Vista
 and Windows 7.
 
 4. Unzip the FooSQ.exe file and put it somewhere easy to access - you'll
 need to run this file after you run Foobar2000 in order to control your
 Logitech devices within Foobar2000.
 
 5. Run Foobar2000, go to File  Preferences  Display  Default User
 Interface
 Look for the box that says Window Title
 Delete whatever is there and replace it with this (exactly):
 %path%/%playback_time_remaining_seconds%/%ispaused%/%playback_time_seconds%/
 
 Hit the Apply button. Do not hit OK yet.
 
 6. In the same menu, go to Tools  AMIP Wrapper
 Click on Configure AMIP
 On the right hand side check the box that says Write song info to
 file.
 In the box underneath that says File: enter this exactly:
 C:\nextsong.txt
 In the box underneath that says Play: enter this exactly:
 $next(%fn)
 
 Hit the OK button, hit OK again in AMIP Wrapper.
 
 7. You're ready to go. Make sure SqueeezeBox server is running. Find
 where you put FooSQ.exe and run it.
 
 8. Play music. The sound from FooSQ will be a second or so behind the
 playback on your computer, so you may want to turn off your computer
 speakers.
 
 9. I've hardcoded a global volume control which will work provided FooSQ
 is running no matter what application is on your screen. Use the numeric
 keypad:
 
 + key to increase volume
 - key to decrease volume
 * key will mute playback (use + key to turn it back on)
 
 10. Enjoy! If you lose the connection between Foobar2000 and FooSQ, just
 run FooSQ again and restart playback in Foobar2000.

 I'm not sure if I'm missing something but using an USB DAC that isn't as
 good as the built-in DAC doesn't make sense to me. Based on what I've
 understood the built-in DAC is going to be really good and in that case
 I think we only need to consider users with high-end external DACs.
 
 However, support for UAC2 is of course still important if we are
 targeting high-end audiophile users who have high-end external DACs.

*Flexibility*, *future-proofing*, and audiphools who already have a
$$ high-end USB DAC. I don't see it as being only for the
audiophools.

Whatever JS comes up with for the stock on-board DAC, (even if he had
an unlimited budget), might be cutting edge now, but it doesn't mean
that it will be in 2 years time. 

Like it or not, UAC2 is a standard. It has already gained traction in
the market place. Any computer based audio player that sports a USB port
needs to be capable of it. Going forward we are going to see more DAC's
with USB interfaces, to the point where every external DAC has a USB
port, but not necessarily a SPDIF or HDMI port. Opinion, maybe.. But
I look around and talk to people, the question that is being asked by
people buying a stand-alone DAC is, does it have USB input? (And again
we are not talking exclusively about people I would class as
audiophile.) 

The bottom line and the irony is, it's the low-end where production cost
is the #1 manufacturer concern, that are likely to see the removal of
inputs other than USB, way before the high-end considers dropping those
interfaces, while they are still shifting product to users that have
standalone transports with SPDIF outputs, or the traditionalists who
don't consider that any audio that involves a computer can be high-end.

Every computer has a USB port. Not every computer has SPDIF or HDMI
output. It is already the lowest common denominator. For anyone doubting
the wisdom of needing to make UAC2 output capability at least as high a
priority as any other on any computer/network based audio player,
(commercial or hobbiest), now matter how good the on-board audio is, I
think you are making a mistake. Of course, that is only my opinion and
WTF do I know. So feel free to stereotype me as a crazy audiophool with
a USB fetish! ;)

1536x1536 pixels.

You need to double-tap on that screen saver to change a track. Too many

Just type task in the start button's search field and select Task

Only needed for full speeds uac devices (class 1) on arm SoC which have

[which given that uac1 devices normally ask for 1 outbound packet per ms
causes a big problem for async usb - this causes what we see with Touch,
the async feedback mechanism doesn' work unless we add on an external
hub].  It looks like its a cost cutting optimisation of the ehci
implementation which is normally no problem, but causes async dacs a
problem.  [The EDO kernel has a hack to ignore the request and schedule
outbound every 2ms, so the inbound can be scheduled on differnent frames

TOSLINK,
2 USB jacks (one for host only and one for OTG)
ethernet,
serial port

I will make just three of these by hand, keep one and send the others to
Triode and probably JackOfAll. 

The purpose of this is to test out the USB interface and get a linux
image working with Squeezelite so we have something to put in the SD
card slot for Gen1. I'm putting DAC and S/PDIF on the board in hopes
that we can get these working as well during the 0.5 phase. Since
wandboard already has a codec using I2S and S/PDIF working my hope is
that getting these to work will not be a big issue.  

The only issue I can for see is that I will have the two audio clocks on
the board and a clock mux, somehow we need to get the processor to
select the clock frequency based on the sample rate. I'm going to
connect the mux up to one of the GPIOs on the connector and  hope we can
figure out how to control it. 

While this software phase is going on I can work on the Gen1 design with
all the features allready discussed. Since HDMI is already on the EDM I
might just go ahead and put it on the board. This i when we really need
to talk about board size, connector placement etc.

Hopefully by the time these boards are ready phase 0.5 will have
produced an SD card image that boots the system up and can play music. 


So for both Gen 0.5 and Gen1 the users will have to perform the
following:
buy a wandboard, take the module off of the supplied carrier and
install it in our board. 
download an SD card image and copy it onto a micro SD card. Put this
card into the wandboard module.
have fun!

Hopeully by the time this gets to Gen2 wandboard will be selling just
the modules.

Schedule: wandboard says they are releasing the schematics on Friday,
I'm going to be busy all  next week. The week after that I can start
designing the board, this is simple so it should only take a week to get
the design done. It takes two weeks to get the boards back, and then a
week to assemble them. So best case is 5 weeks to get the Gen0.5 boards
working. Hopefully by then a few of us can have some wandboards in hand.

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?

2013-02-06 Thread plympton

I just waded into this pond of a thread, then took a look at the
Wandboard forum page and found this.  Useful?

http://www.wandboard.org/images/files/wandboard-expansion-pinheaders.png

Can I ask for a summary while I'm here:
Gen1 - equivalent to a Squeezebox Receiver
Gen1+ - something more like a Classic or Touch? (even of the screen
output is over HDMI)

Also, does Squeezelite support full Classic emulation (IE: Pandora,
etc)?  I believe it does, as I was experimenting with a R-PI a few
months ago, but checking...

Unfortunetly that is the pinout of the expansion connectors on the
carrier board, not of the EDM connector the processor module plugs into.


On the Gens, I'm thinking that yes Gen1 is basically a receiver, no
buttons, screen etc. It will have a web server for configuration
purposes and controling can be done with existing controlers on other
devices. I may actually put a HDMI interface on it. The primary purpose
of this is to get it out to developers and a few users to work out what
needs to be there and getting it as close as possible to a plug and play
solution. 

Gen2 was the  release version with  a box all ready to go to a larger
audience. Because the wandboard core already has all the compute
resources we need there may not be any differences in Gen1 and Gen2.
Then again Gen2 may include things like an IR receiver/transmitter etc.
We need to work out as a group exactly what it is going to be. 

Because the core  already exists it is much easier to try different 
configurations of peripherals on a small quantity basis and see what
works and people really want before putting together the Gen2 boards.

After this if there is interest in things like a boom we can work on
that as well, or maybe an LCD touch  screen etc.

 So you have a need to make room for 3*255 -1 devices !
 
 But all the hosts should have the same netmask rigth ? That would be
 number one thing I would try still keeping it 255.255.252.0
 On all hosts and then see if the server broadcast work ( players
 automatically finding the server via udp broadcasts on port 3483 )
 
 If that flunks I would go to the typical small network setup of
 255.255.255.0 again on all hosts .
 
 Squeezeboxes are a bit peculiar regarding networks , there seems to be
 some bugg conected to almost all not typical home network settings 
 hence why many uses static ip on them and do not use the dhcp function ,
 for example there is bug in the reciever when the dhcp server is not the
 typical 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or the corresponding one for networks
 with 10.x etc as base adress

Actually, this is my network at work. The only DHCP server is on a
wireless access point that is limited to it's own subnet by a mask of
255.255.255.0. Everything else is static. A single class D would work
fine but my predecessor(s) had ego issues.

Right now, I want a software player to work (at all.)

Yes it does.  All of the players are there.  I'm sure it was there
before. I was certainly controlling it from my Android phone.  I just
couldn't do certain things like play radio stations or podcasts.

So the player is not on the same subnet as the server , then afaik auto
discovery will not work ? Other than that the AP is only an AP not in
fact a router that forms it own network conected via the wan port to the
rest off the office, can it port forward if that where the case .

You can specify the server adress manually to the player. But then agian
it is probably assumed that subnet and the network is the same .

Conecting a server on one network to a player on another network , then
I assume setting upmsomemportforwarding in the NAT between the networks
will make it work .

Are you streaming from you home to your office ? The simple unsafe way
here is to port forward all LMS ports at home and then your external ip
is the  server adress  for the player .

A bit old ,nowadays you can safely ignore to install anything MySQL the
implemts tin is not working with LMS 7.7.2 unless you tweak some stuff
and on such a puny NAS is it worthwhile .

Does a my book really provide enough CPU for this .

Expected quirks , no transcoding to other formats ( not all files and
radio stations will play ) and bit slow web-UI and scan time could be a
bit long when adding new stuff .

Re: [slim] NAS Help

2013-02-06 Thread Pascal Hibon

Look for a NAS of a well known brand (good support and wide spread). It
is preferred to have a NAS with an Intel based architecture but it is
not a requirement. ARM based will work well too considering you select
one with enough processing power.
I’m using a ReadyNAS NVX (Intel based) and that works like a charm. The
ULTRA series of ReadyNAS are a very good choice as well:
http://www.readynas.com/?cat=88 

I recently bought a single drive NAS to back up my ReadyNAS and I use
this one when I’m travelling as well. When traveling it runs LMS too.
This one does not have an Intel based processor but it works very well
too. It is a QNAP TS-119p II
http://www.qnap.com/en/index.php?lang=ensn=822c=351sc=514t=524n=3363

There is also a TS-219p II who has two hard drives. That would be a
better choice if this is your main NAS.
