Re: [slim] Album partially duplicated after scanning
In my experience this is a common scanning error; and it will normally disappear on a rescan - at which point you will find that a whole (different) album will disappear! Rescanning again will find that album, but others will then disappear!! Scanning is a random activity in my experience... Neil cliveb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a weird one. One of the albums in my collection has 6 tracks. The Slimserver scanner correctly catalogues this album. However, it *also* catalogues a duplicate album, under the same artist, containing only track 6 (ie. the last track - which may or may not be significant, I guess). It's not that track 6 is being put into a separate album: it's also in the proper place. I've done a wipe rescan, but exactly the same thing happened. Funny thing is, I recall this happening a while back to exactly the same album, and a wipe/rescan fixed it that time. I can't see anything strange about the tags on this file. And even if this was a tagging issue, surely it would just cause the track to be split off into a separate album, not be duplicated? Has anyone seen anything like this before?

On a whim I selected all songs in iTunes and set them back to NORMAL volume. It worked, and the problem has not recurred.

You probably shouldn't forward it unless you use a secure tunnel (see below). I don't use the same router/modem as you, so you're on your own with finding the port fowarding setup; but it shouldn't be too complicated. You just need to forward those two ports from the outside world (WAN) to your SlimServer PC. This isn't particularly safe. Ideally, you would use a secure tunnel to make it all a lot more, well, secure. To do this: Install OpenSSH on your SlimServer PC: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ Install a client such as Tunnelier on your remote PC: http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier.html Generate a keypair in OpenSSH. I don't have the steps I used for this, so you'll need to do some googling and reading, but it's not too hard. Remove the port forwarding you set up, and instead forward just port 22. Then, in Tunnelier, set up C2S forwarding: Listen interface: 127.0.0.1 Listen port: 9000 Dest Host: localhost Dest Port: 9000 Listen interface: 127.0.0.1 Listen port: 9090 Dest Host: localhost Dest Port: 9090 If you also want remote desktop access: Listen interface: 127.0.0.1 Listen port: 3483 Dest Host: localhost Dest Port: 3483 You can also have it execute SoftSqueeze automatically if you fill in the 'Execute' field with the java run-time engine and SoftSqueeze jar file name.

Hi Neil, Good for you - sounds like you've made a pretty good start. The easy question first: technically, you don't need to use a SSH client if you're using SoftSqueeze, since it includes a built-in SSH client. BUT, I would recommend the one I mentioned before (Tunnelier), for two reasons: it makes it easier to diagnose connection problems, and it includes some nice utilities (graphical SFTP for file transfers, auto-launch of remote desktop, remote command line). You can't beat the price, either. The other part of your question is more difficult, mainly becuase I went through this process a while back and had to do a bit of reading to work it out - I can't remember the exact steps. Richard's SoftSqueeze page: http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/ssh.html points to a useful SSH howto: http://www.vbmysql.com/articles/ssh-tunnel-part2.html#part4 I'm pretty sure I just followed through the steps in the second link, above, and it worked ok.

Re: [slim] Extremely loud white noise from Squeezebox?!
I get this with my SB2; but only occasionally and only when Synched with SoftSqueeze. -- Neil Cleve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I tend to leave my stereo on while I'm gone, as I like some music playing in the background when I return home. As usual, today, I had my Squeezebox 3 playing the ambient station Bluemars on Squeezenetwork when I left for an appointment. The volume was set to maybe 60-70 db of sound level. Basically, background or just above background. My McIntosh amp was only producing about 1/10th of a watt or less. When I returned today, I could hear a roar from outside my house. So I hurriedly went inside - One channel of my McIntosh amp had the meter holding steady at nearly 200 watts, and the other channel has a steady 10 watts. The noise was deafening - it wasn't music - it was like white noise with bass mixed in. I thought at first my old Sansui receiver that's subbing for my pre-amp (while my McIntosh is getting a tuneup) had gone on the fritz. A quick check of other functions (AM, FM, phono, etc) revealed that the source of the sonic bedlam was the Squeezebox itself. Changing stations didn't stop the sound, nor did raising or lowering the volume control. I tried powering the unit on and off with the remote. The noise did not go away. I had been listening via analog connection, so I kicked my HT decoder on. There was no output whatsoever from the unit's digital co-ax output. Yet the analog outputs were still blasting out the white noise. So I unplugged the Squeezebox, and replugged it in a few minutes later. Mysteriously, the sound on the Squeezebox returned to normal. That was about 6 pm - I've had the unit playing continuously since then - it's been performing normally. Do I have a defective Squeezebox? Does it need to be repaired or replaced??

That's how it allows for the listener to select artists he or she doesn't want to hear. For example, when Paste Radio was playing Radiohead's No Surprises, I used URL Snooper and came up with only these four multimedia URLs: rtsp://209.133.33.251/ss/radiohead_nosurprises.wma rtsp://209.133.33.251/ss/radiohead_nosurprises.wma/audio;Seq=2416 rtspt://209.133.33.251/ss/radiohead_nosurprises.wma mms://209.133.33.251/ss/radiohead_nosurprises.wma It seems to me that without implementing Paste's track selection code, you can only play single tracks.

Re: [slim] 9 April Nightly - Still Has Confused Artwork
OK, thanks for the tip - I'll try that... -- Neil kdf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting Neil Cameron [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It's still not scanning properly. I do a 'Wipe Cache' after every Nightly install... let the wipe cache complete its scan, restart the server. There are known issues with using wipe cache, but server restart seems to fix most of them. also, try clearing your browser cache to get the artwork. There seems to be an issue with the browse artwork thumbnails being cached from older scans. try not to use wipe cache on every nightly. that shouldn't be needed, and currently is at least partly to blame for the above two problems. -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
