Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
What's missing for me is a flexible and intuitive interface for setting up and running automated playback schemes. My daily routine is fairly consistent and I'd like to create a number of unique music play back scenarios for morning and evening listening, for both weekdays and weekends. I would like to define times periods, players to be included (or removed) from a synchronized group (even during a period), what is played for each player or group, and flexible volume controls. Some of this can be achieved using the alarm function but it's far too limited.

Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?
avta;612703 Wrote: i've been using 7.6 for quite a while with no problems. I use Mac OS on a Mac Mini computer. Why not give it a try ? I had problems with 7.5.3, specifically the alarm would not function reliably with a synchronized group of players. I took avta's advice to try 7.6 and it works great. I'm using a Synology 1010+ NAS (with SSODS4 4.11 to run SB 7.6.0-31915). With 7.5.3 and lower it took 40 min to do a 'clear library and rescan everything' on 20K tracks. The PC (with Ubuntu) I used prior to the NAS had performance. First clear rescan with 7.6 took 8:40 - I didn't believe that was correct so I redid it and the second time was 6:20, that's 6 times faster! In addition the web interface is much more responsive and all the issues I had with SqueezePlay are gone, save a barely noticeable sync delay. -- Echo Echo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Political BS
MrSinatra;358983 Wrote: the main thing i am asking for is for a new anything goes forum to be created that ostensibly would be for any NON-slim topic, (and of course it should be civil and also not promote the competition). the new sub forum could be easily ignored by others. I agree, an 'Off Topic' forum is a good solution, but I'd be among those who wouldn't read it. I'm a recent owner of the Duet (and additional receivers) and these forums have impressed me with the knowledge and helpfulness of the community. I continue to visit to stay current with new and planned features. I also like that the forums have a tight focus on its primary purpose. However like most forums once the majority of regular users have attained a certain level of knowledge either people visit less or discussions start to drift. An 'Off Topic' section would help to satisfy those who want it and contain such discussions to one area. As stated by Mike, General Discussion is for all things; it's not really an issue right now but if off topic threads become more prevalent then GD should be moved from the top of the User Forums. The forums at the top should be the most relevant to the Logitech's interest - a new visitor's first impression shouldn't be one of sports topics or lolcats. -- Echo Echo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54841 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Duet Controller lock up

In my case, the controller would work fine until I went to the Music Library Artists branch. No matter which artist I picked (single or multiple albums) the controller would lock-up and reboot as soon as I when to the screen. The controller also would reboot when it came out of sleep mode. There was no change at all with the tracks in my library; it started when I tried the 7.3 beta (although downgrading to 7.2 didn't help either). The firmware on the controller was relatively old (late August) and wouldn't update on its own.
