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

[slim] Multiple LMS on same subnet ok? Also, how to play mp3 from windows PC?
Hello, I have Logitech Media Server installed on a Pogoplug, and a couple of Pogoplugs running Squeezelite player. So far, they work alright. I found out that if you install the Logitech Media Server for Windows on your PC, you gain a right click context option when you click on mp3's that let's you send that mp3 to a Squeezelite player. Pretty awesome. But, is there a way to get this context menu option without installing the full blown LMS program? It's confusing because I seem to be able to stop the LMS process on my PC and STILL get the context menu to cast mp3's to the Squeezelite player. It makes me think that this casting function in windows isn't tied to the LMS process. And a related question: Is it a problem to have multiple Logitech Media Servers on the same subnet? It seems like any server can control any Squeezelite player...but what happens when the Android app gets on the network? Doesn't the Android app have to figure out which server to talk to when figuring out the status of a particular Squeezelite player? leafygreens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99984 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] whole home audio syncronization: Squeezelite performance vs. real Squeeze Device
I've been experimenting with Squeezelite players installed on small linux boxes. I don't have any real Squeezeboxes to experiment with. I'm interested in how well the synchronization feature works on real SB's vs. the software Squeezelite solution. If I have two Squeezelite boxes in the same room playing the same song with Synchronization on, every 10 or 20 seconds or so there's a weird skip as one of them (probably the slave) adjusts where it's at. It's really obvious with music. Does synchronized play on real Squeezeboxes do that also? I also wonder about the sync capabilities of other systems like Sonos and Airplay. leafygreens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=0 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] whole home audio syncronization: Squeezelite performance vs. real Squeeze Device
the Squeezebox players are suposed to sync better mainly because they are more predicable and the sync code is thoroughly tested with them . Syncing a real player with a random computer puts in a lot of unknowns that could upsett things , but your are syncing basically the same things it should make it more viable . Skipping , not normal with real squeezeboxes , given everything else works . Squeezeboxes are lossles/bitperfect with such material normally, unless you use volume or replay gain or any transcoding action is needed ,like if a player cant support a certain rate like 24/96 it will then be converted to that rate . Note that synced players use one single stream so it's the least capable player in the group thatÂ’s decide the bit rate limit Lossy formats are faithfully decoded on the player (server does nothing to them ) unless the player cant support it ,then its transcoding again usually to flac to preserve the quality of the lossy format (not transcoding to another lossy format thats bad ) . Replay gain and volume is done in the player after decoding the audio from whatever format it arrived as (afaik) and then feed to the DAC and digital output .

Oh, good point. I never stopped to think about server load. So when doing sync playback (either from internet stream or local audio file), it's the server that coordinating the sync? The LMC server is running on a 1.2GHz Pogoplug, 256MB ram, with pretty much nothing but the server app running. I'll check CPU levels and report back tomorrow. Wireless signal wise, I think I'm ok.
