No, It isn't working and my FLAC/Vorbis Tags are correct. This worked perfectly in prior versions to 7.3.2. Now my album listings are not correct for Various Artists Compilation groupings.

Re: [slim] Multi disc sets not in order
I agree that this is broken in the latest release (7.3.2). Multi-Disc Compilation (e.g., Various Artists) Albums appear as separate listings for each disc, even though settings are set to group as one disc. Also interesting is that each track on the 1st Disc of the group is numbered, 1, 2, 3...N. But the 2nd Disc in the group has it's tracks labelled 2-1, 2-2, 2-3,...2-N. 3rd Disc in the group has its tracks labelled 3-1, 3-2, etc. Multi-Disc Single Artist Albums set to group as one disc work fine. *Bradley -- Bradley Bradley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58606 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPod, FLAC and Music Managers
Paul_B;238724 Wrote: I have all my music CD's ripped to NAS storage as FLAC and this all works beautifully with Squeezecenter and my SB3. However, some times I would like to listen to the same music on a portable device. Currently I have an original 2GB Nano but I am thinking of getting a new device. 1. Should I get a new iPod? If so which one, Touch, Classic? 2. Should I get a non-iPod device (Zune Gen 2, Archos, Zen, Cowon, etc); I assume I will still need to transcode from FLAC to Mp3? 3. Which Music Manager is best for ease of use, MediaMonkey, Sveta from dbPowerAmp. etc? Paul: I've been in the same situation as you for me and family. For me, I bought a FLAC capable player, a COWON iAudio XL5. It's a bit dated now, but awesome. You might want to take the same tact, as no conversions of your media library files are necessary and, as such, you retain the high level of lossless sound. The only caveat is that FLAC files are large, so you'll need a player with a large capacity to carry a large amount of music. For my family, they all have iPods. To accomodate them, for a while, I bought several licenses of Red Chair Software's Anapod Explorer, the software that others in this thread have mentioned. It will transcode your FLAC files to MP3 format (user selectable to a quality/bit rate). That may work for you, but note that Red Chair Software is out-of-business and does not support the software any longer -- they just collect the license fees you pay to download it. The software also has problems in dealing with Album Art, and conflicts with ITunes, so you'll need to learn the quirks necessary to get it to work with these two things. I've totally dropped Anapod for something I feel works much, much better for family and iPods, or any non-flac compatible device (see below). If your Slimserver is on Linux, which mine is, I would strongly suggest you look into MP3FS (http://mp3fs.sourceforge.net/). This utility lets you mount a psuedo MP3 drive of your FLAC files, which you can then set up as a SAMBA (SMB) Shared Drive, for Windows and Mac computers. In this scenario, iPod users see a drive full of 100% compatible MP3 files, fully drag and droppable into iTunes or to the device's directory. I find this is the perfect solution for my wife and son for their music needs . They pick the music files they want, and MP3FS transparently transcodes them to MP3 files for their use, on-the-fly. As for music managers, if you go with an Apple Device, you can't beat iTunes, in my opinion. I've tried some of the others, dbPowerAmp, Media Monkey, but have settled with simple drag and drop with the windows file system explorer and using both a Samba (SMB) Share mapped to the straight FLAC files and a second Samba Share mapped to the MP3FS system for MP3 versions of the FLAC Files.

[slim] Re: Help! 6.5.1 Kills Fully Working Server Install on Gentoo
My old 6.5.0 install works fine. Maybe that's the problem. Is the 6.5.1 script expecting to create directories? They're already all there based on having a 6.5.0 install, as is a full non-slimserver install of MySQL. As for the permissions issue, all the /opt/slimserver or /usr/local/slimserver or the /var/cache/slimserver or the /var/log/slimserver directories/files are chowned to slimserver:slimserver. The user slimserver, however does not have a home directory. When I normally start slimserver, I use the /etc/init.d/slimserver start command -- which is run as root but then switches to the slimserver user using the --user parm in the script. The reason I was running ./slimserver.pl is to see the error output because running the /etc/init.d/slimserver start command displays nothing. I did a search on the forums and see that there are several other users that have had the same problem on the pre-release version of 6.5.1 since December. I do not see a resolution to their issues either and they stem from the same problem. I took a look at the MySQLHelper.pm script (where the error is happening) and don't see anything significantly different about 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 in there. I'm willing to provide more debugging information. I just need someone to specify more helpful info, so I can help debug. For example: What directory is it trying to create? Perhaps I can manually create it and set the correct permissions. Please try to help me.

[slim] Re: Help! 6.5.1 Kills Fully Working Server Install on Gentoo
The error originally described at the start of this thread dealt with an error happening in MySQLHelper.pm. I briefly eyeballed the script and really saw nothing apparent in the 6.5.0 vs. the 6.5.1 versions, so I copied the MySQLHelper.pm script from the 6.5.0 release to the proper place in the 6.5.1 release. That eliminated the permissions problems! So, pretty pretty please: SD/Logitech Devs please look into what's going on with the logic in THAT script between 6.5.0 and 6.5.1. That'll probably reveal the ultimate problem and get a solid fix for me and anyone else struggling with this or a similar problem. For now, the bandaid I discovered at least is allowing me to run under 6.5.1.

I agree with the poster above. I'm running on Gentoo and also had to put in a considerable amount of effort (about 3 hours) to get 6.5 up and running (BTW, I'm been using Slimserver for a couple of years, so I'm used to doing a full blown upgrade). It took a whole bunch of configuring to get MySql ready to accept connections from SS, however, the notations on the Wiki were extremely helpful. TIP: If you're upgrading on Linux and your /etc/init.d/slimserver start command isn't starting up slimserver, go into your local slimserver install directory and run the main slimserver script manually, via a ./slimserver.pl. By doing that, it'll tell you what it doesn't like and you can go ahead and fix it. Now that it's up and running, I'm very pleased with the improvements. Seems to be running much more efficiently on the server and web interface response is very nice. There are only two things wrong that Ive noticed thus far: 1. A few albums are not being flagged with the MM for integration with MusicMagic (MusicIP) -- they are quite clearly shown as mixable on the MusicIP interface, though. 2. The mouse cursor disappears when positioned over the Softsqueeze interface -- makes it difficult to push the Softsqueeze buttons. *Bradley -- Bradley Bradley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27707 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Do I have to do something special to get it out of the stream? I thought SlimServer did this automatically for WMA streams, but when I didn't see anything appear I assumed Sirius wasn't sending it out. -Greg Greg: Slimserver probably handles this for you. Just be advised that Sirius only sends out Artist/Song info when the song changes. So if you start streaming in the middle of a song, there won't be any song info. Later when the song changes, you'll see the info. You can see this behavior through the Yahoo widget -- it'll say Waiting for Data until it gets the info. Otherwise, if you have the Enable Channel Data option selected, it will get the current Artist/Song info from there. BTW, the Sirius Yahoo Widget guy keeps updating his software. Moreover, now he's also using an all channel feed from http://www.farmingdaleweather.net/sirius/tracker.txt as his primary provider.It's considerably faster than the itson.siriusbackstage.com feed. He uses the itson.siriusbackstage.com feed as a backup. You might want to check it out. You also might want to trade emails with PhilF -- the guy who wrote the XM plugin.

Most folks who are writing Sirius stream players are using the actual stream for currently playing channel song updates and that auxiliary website for channel browsing (seeing what's playing across other channels).

Chop Wrote: Not trying to be a downer, but won't the Sirius stream sound like complete crap through a home stereo? I have XM and it offers low bandwidth 32k and high bandwidth 64k WMA steams. The 64 is listenable but by no means good sounding. I tried out Sirius using my friends account and unless I was missing something, the only stream offered was 32k WMA. This is barely acceptable on computer speakers, let alone a home stereo. Actually if you even listen to the actual audio stream directly from the satellite using Sirius hardware, you'll hear a lot of imperfections and digital artifacts. Satellite radio is far from Hi-fidelity. It's more about variety. So you may want to reconsider your point. I actually listen to Sirius to get ideas for new CD's to buy. They have a decent rotation on most of their channels and best of all, all the Artist/Album/Song information is displayed, so you can make a mental note of what you like and then go out and buy the CD and load it onto slimserver for the true Hi-fidelity experience. The point of having a Slimserver plugin is to allow listening where you ordinarily wouldn't have a Sirius hardware tuner, or wouldn't want to pay for one. The online feed gives you portability and overall more value for the monthly subscription you are paying for. I feel I'm getting my money's worth by being able to stream Sirius from a computer, because I'm not often in my car (where my Sirius hardware is) and it seems foolish to be paying for something I wouldn't otherwise be able to listen to often enough. *Bradley -- Bradley Bradley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Here's a link to the Tivoli Model Satellite Unit: http://www.tivoliaudio.com/customer/product.php?productid=175cat=page= Looking at your picture and Tivoli's makes me think that maybe Slim Devices should do some sort of co-marketing/manufacturing thing with squeezebox hardware embedded in Tivoli's integrated Amp/speaker enclosures. Would be an awesome match. *Bradley -- Bradley ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Softsqueeze flaky with Live365 streams, Squeeze Network sound streams
I tried switching from Java MP3 Plugin to JLayer, but I'm still seeing the same problem I had before. On Live 365, the stream won't start playing unless: after clicking play and waiting a few seconds for the stream to start buffering, you toggle to pause and then un-pause. Then it plays fine. So still the problem originally described is still there. *Bradley -- Bradley ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Softsqueeze flaky with Live365 streams, Squeeze Network sound streams
Found a problem with Softsqueeze that causes it not to play a stream even though it says it's Now playing. This seems to happen with virtually all Live365 streams as well as the Squeeze Network's Natural Sounds. The problem does not happen with RadioIO or Shoutcast. There is a work around to get it to play -- clicking the pause button once or twice (after you know the stream is already buffered), usually will get the stream going. I normally wouldn't notice this problem (I just moved and my squeezeboxes are still packed), but I'm using Softsqueeze on my PC a lot until I fully unpack and setup my SB's and stereos. Anyway, I hope this can be fixed easily. I'm currently using Softsqueeze 2.0b11 (but it also happened on 2.0-10 *Bradley -- Bradley ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Here's a link to a python-based Sirius online stream player with full source code: http://mak.zopelabs.com/xplay/ Provides everything necessary to build a crossplatform player plugin for Slimserver. All you need to do is port the source from Python to Perl and drop into the Slim Plugin SDK. Should be a snap for Perl whiz. *B -- Bradley ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: SlimServer 6.0 - Big Disappointment
A little more debugging info would be useful. What does an strace -p on the process id yield? (it will output a lot). Can you try disabling MusicMagic? Ok, the culprit seems to be MusicMagic and the integration between SlimServer and MusicMagic. Once the MusicMagic API is shut off so that SlimServer doesn't see MusicMagic, the server behaves and CPU utilization by SlimServer is extremely low. Also, when I stop the server (without the MusicMagic API), the process ends as expected. However, the big deal for me in waiting for 6.0 WAS the MusicMagic integration. I must say that MusicMagic's playlist generation functionality is simply amazing (WOW, what it does with my music collection - I'm totally perplexed by the intriguing mixes it builds!), however, it is TOTALLY BOGGING DOWN SlimServer or vice-versa. A shame to hold out such tasty candy and see painfully disappointing results (in terms of server performance). So SlimServer 6.0 seems good by itself. The wait for a solid link between Slim and MusicMagic is what is next. Slim's capabilities paired up with MusicMagic's stuff is truly worth waiting for - audio ecstasy! ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
