Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
OK - the squeezelite on the piCorePlayer does not require transcoding anymore as I installed the one which is compiled with the -DFFMPEG option. I also recompiled squeezelite with apple lossless support and no transcoding anymore. rkrug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Wireless music streamer that allows multiple users?
Hi there Good morning - I am looking for some advice about a wireless music streamer that would be suitable for an office of approx 10 people. The main requirement would be that the folk in the office could all access the playlist on their own PC/Mac, so each user could queue up 10-20 tracks at a time (trying to keep things democratic). I used to have a Squeezebox classic and a Boom (both sadly missed), which I think would have been perfect as we could all have accessed the squeezeplay software through our browsers, and controlled the playlist. Does anything exist at a reasonable (say £150) pricepoint? I am not really up for building a rasberry pi version as tech is not my strongpoint! chromatone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22901 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

@pippin Server Version: Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.5 - 1416570306 @ Thu Nov 27 08:25:11 UTC 2014 Should I upgrade to a newer version? I am running Debian by the way. Yes - it does transcode for the squeezelite player, but not the iPeng. But actually, this morning it is working. I assume it has to do with the transcoding. SO let's look there: The settings are 19414 A typical output from "top" when playing a apple lossless to a squeezelite player is: Code: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 6967 squeezeb 20 0 3096 772 560 S 9.2 0.3 0:13.03 faad 6968 squeezeb 20 0 5884 1496 1172 S 2.6 0.6 0:04.01 sox 73 root 20 0 000 S 1.0 0.0 18:00.46 kworker/u:1 1905 squeezeb 20 0 103m 84m 4308 S 0.7 33.7 15:32.58 squeezeboxserve ...

If you have a PC running LMS - why not run squeezelite (install plugin Localplayer and it is installed ) and then connect speaker to PC. But if you need a separate player with high quality audio out - there are pre built Pi based systems available - for example http://shop.max2play.com/en/raspberry-pi-2-hifiberry-dac-bundle.html bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

With regard to the speakers you attach to the laptop.

Re: [slim] Check vailidity of music library?
As an aside, it was always unfortunate that Apple decided not to include a built-in CRC in the Apple Lossless format. If the situation was reversed and the OP was trying to determine if any FLAC files were corrupted, he could easily run any number of BATCH programs to test the FLAC files (which *do* contain a built-in CRC). I always do this after I create a new backup disk of my FLAC collection. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Used Squeeze devices on eBay -- Buying advice?
After dabbling with squeezeplug on raspberry pi and o2 joggler devices I switched to buying Squeezebox original hardware on eBay. Had problems with network and terrible music syncing, always drifting, on the home brew stuff. Since switching to a system of booms and receivers the syncing is perfect. When weighing up time, effort, quality and reliability of end result I'm happier with the first party hardware. The raspberry pi makes a great LMS however.

Re: [slim] Weird networking issue: SB2 v SB3
A really dumb question... Even though you plugged the SB3 into Ethernet, is it really configured for a wired connection? If the configured connection is wireless for the SB3 that could be why it's buffering in the other location if the wireless signal is weak there. Just plugging it in to a Ethernet cable does not mean it will use the cable, I think it has to be specifically configured for a wired connection. 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs Rock Solid with LMS 7.8.0 and WHS 2011 w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104765 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Some consumer switches are "green" all the time , and they are som simple ( no wlan etc ) that there is no configuration mode , so,you can't change that . I tend to buy those simple "blue" netgear switches you can get ( usually 8 port ). They are professional ? Whatever they mean by that , but not expensive , ugly metal case rather bright diodes .
