Re: [slim] LMS Synology Issue Please help - 6 days to scan!
First thing to do is go to the screen that shows scanning progress. It's the last tab under settings (sorry, can't remember exactly what it's called.) You'll see two links for logs, one for the system itself and one for the scanning process. Look at the last 50-100 entries in these logs. I don't have anything specific to tell you, just that you should look for errors or unusual things like the scanner throwing odd errors. Another thing to check is to see if the built-in media scanners are competing for resources (resources widget in the DSM OS, look at processes and the CPU time consumed.) If you don't use any other protocol for music (DLNA, Firefly, etc.) then it's best to go in and disable those. Uninstall any unused packages through package manager. You'll need to go into the command line to disable the media scanners, I can point you to relevant information (or just google it) if you want. If you want to post a portion of the scan log, maybe someone can offer some insight into what's going on. That being said, the scan process on a Synology box is veery slow. If you have more than a few 1000s of songs, you can easily tie up your NAS for days, especially if it's doing other things like indexing photos or music with the built-in scanners. If you have one of the lower models (111, 110, 109, a -J model, etc) then you're taking a double hit with the slow processor and small RAM. gryphraff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59404 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98355 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream
Since some people seem to be getting a bit nervous about the current situation relating to Squeezebox products and are starting to abandon the Squeezebox and move to other music streaming platforms, we thought we would make a brief announcement that we have been working on something for a while. We initiated the project in 2011 when we started to see indications of the direction Logitech was moving in and have been working on it since then in parallel with our other activities. We have seen the current trend in the market where hardware vendors are forced to do proprietary software solutions, typically resulting in users getting locked in to a specific vendor specific solutions with limited device choices for a good whole house audio experience. On top of this online streaming providers have to make proprietary integrations with each individual hardware platform to be able to offer their services everywhere, resulting in a fragmented experience. UPnP was supposed to be the solution to some of this but it really never worked for music. Our belief is that people don't want to be locked into a specific hardware vendor, they want to have the option to combine hardware from different manufacturers in the same system, to use high-end devices in the main listening room and cheaper devices in kitchen or bedroom. We also believe people want to use locally stored music as well as music provided by online streaming services. Our goal is to provide an open platform which can be integrated with third party hardware and also enhanced by third party software. We will provide controllers and players for iOS and Android ourselves, and in addition to this we are talking to hardware vendors. We have also done some prototyping of running our platform on Squeezeboxes and have a plugin that makes it possible to use LMS as content provider for local music. This way we want to make sure you can keep your Squeezeboxes alive even when Logitech ends the support for them. The platform will be commercial because we don't think integration with online services and long term survival is possible without a charging, but our current intention is to try keep the community feeling from the Squeezebox community, where it's possible for third party developers to easily provide additions for free. To support this we will provide an API that can be used to extend the system we want that capability build into the DNA of the system and it's actually an area we are focusing on right now. The current state of the platform is that we are doing some alpha testing with a selection of people from the community and the group of testers will be extended over time so we can release a first version available to the public sometime later this year. Unfortunately we can't share more information than this at the moment, but feel free to post feedback in this thread if you know things we should think about to make the solution fit your setup better. Finally, you are probably wondering who is part of this, so to give you some idea: - Joerg Schwieder (pippin): Developer of the iPeng app family for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch devices - Erland Isaksson (erland): Developer of many free and commercial plugins and applets for the Squeezebox - James Fearon: Developer of the playback logic in the iPeng app family - Remco Derksen (remd): Previously in charge of Partnerships and Business development for the Squeezebox. - Some of the other third party developers and some graphics/marketing/business oriented resources You will find our web site at http://www.ickstream.com where we will provide more information of the platform as it becomes available. Finally, please don't worry about our current Squeezebox related work. Both the iPeng apps and Erland's plugins/applets will continue to be supported and the new platform has of course taken some inspiration from our previous work as well as for the things we were not able to do on the Squeezebox platform in the past.

[slim] Date Time screensaver scrolling?
I have an SB1 and it has quite noticeable screen burn which is evidently from displaying date/time when off. Is there any way, via a plugin or whatever, to get the date time screensaver to scroll to lessen the amount it burns the screen over time? I've done some googling and haven't found anything, but I'm hoping I just haven't stumbled on it yet. For the time being, I'm just setting the screen to be off when the SB1 is off, but it would be so much nicer to display the time.

Re: [slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream
Running on Squeezeboxes currently means our software client runs in parallel to the MySqueezebox.com integration so you can use the original system of ours and seamlessly switch but at least right now we don't have combined playlists or something. Gapless works right now, I believe, although I would have to doublecheck? I believe that's currently just an implementation detail. But both gapless and synchronization are basic design requirements although syncing in our system is the one thing that is more challenging compared to the SB although Somos does get it to work fine with a similar approach. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

We want to be sure we have a reasonable finished product before we launch so we don't want to be more specific than this at the moment. Also, the fact that we are only doing software makes it possible for us to support multiple hardware vendors, which is very different compared to the Olive One architecture which as far as I've understood is locked into the single Olive One hardware device they are currently working on. In our vision, you would be able to get high end hardware for the main listening room from your HiFi manufacturer and low end hardware for the kitchen and bedroom from your favorite mass market manufacturer and as long as they all support the ickStream platform you will be able to use them all in the same system and even bring the system with you on your smart phone or tablet when you leave the home.

Re: [slim] Date Time screensaver scrolling?
I don't recall if FuzzyTime will scroll the time, but it _will_ move the time display leftward a user-specified number of pixels every X minutes, and then when it gets to the left edge of the screen, move it rightward the same number of pixels every X minutes until it gets to the right edge of the screen. Then it repeats. A very simple and effective way to prevernt burn-in. Even better than scrolling/looping in one direction, imo. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98470 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
