Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection
JJD;324795 Wrote: I have been trying to set up my squeezebox Duet for several days. I keep losing the connection to my SB (Controller gives all the messages you can read in this Thread. Sometimes I get a connection but that lasts for a few minutes. If I try to play songs during that time I get the blinking for a longer period of time and then the connection to my computer is lost (then I can play songs on the SB by using Squeezecenter in my Browser). If it doesn't lose connection inmediately it takes ages to select songs. Getting a list with artists takes like 2 minutes (3800 songs on a network disk). Even SqueezeCenter in the browser is slow. I play songs via OTSJUke via the same Network and everything works instantly (also with Windows Media Player). The SC Cache directory is like 60+ Mbyte for just 3800 songs... I rebuild it completely a few times to ensure nothing was wrong. If I select another song it takes sometimes 30 seconds before it starts playing. THis improved a bit by giving the process Real Time Priority! MEmory is enough (1.5 GB on a 3 GHz XP machine) Does anybody see a solution for these issues or do have to send the thing back to Logitech (after browsing through the 25 pages around this issue I am a bit worried if the developpers can solve these issues). My setup: Hybrid TCP address SB 172.16.134.2 TCP controller 172.16.134.1 Subnetmask 255.255.255.0 Firmware SB 36 Software controller7.1r2722 Software SqueezeCenter-versie: 7.1 - 22170 @ Mon Jul 28 13:36:57 PDT 2008 - Windows XP - NL - cp1252 I got the DUet with the 7.01 software but after the first issues I updated to 7.1 Switching of AVAST Virus scanner and my Firewall doesn't help anything. All my other equipment (6PC's, 3 Network drives, 2 Network Printers, 5 Network Cameras work great on the network. I switched of the cameras during working with the Duet to ensure maximun Network Bandwith. Everything including the SB is wired. The Controller is connected via the Squeezebox. I have tried it via my wireless router however this didn't give any improvements either. Same experience for me when I brought a trial Duet unit home for testing. All of the dropped connections, input response delays, and inconsistent reliability made its use too frustrating and therefore back it went. Defintiely not ready for prime time for me - still way too buggy. -- RoonieQ RoonieQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18150 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well, after choosing to archive all of my ALAC files, the newly archived (modified) files all possess a loud audible click at the end of each file when played. Not good. Fortunately, I of course made a complete backup of said files prior to the archiving process and have subsequently restored the whole lot.

tamanaco;324207 Wrote: From the begining I decided not to allow MusicIP to write (archive) its data in my FLAC files. It's still an evolving technology. As far as I know, it is still in beta. Instead I choose to use the separated default.m3lib MusicIP reference index. This way is very easy to remove and re-install MusicIP as long as you don't change the location (absolute path) of your music library in your server. I also make a backup copies of the default.m3lib whenever I validate new tracks. Thanks for the advice. I'll do just that as well. As long as I have a method of restoring the track anaysis by some method if it is ever lost/corrupted that will be fine for me. Keeping current backup copies of the default.m3lib will work fine for me too. My inital scan and analysis (~16,000 files) wasn't terribly long (couple of days??) but I'd rather not have to do it again if the original info is lost. -- RoonieQ RoonieQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18150 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Worth pointing out that I've archived analysis to mp3 and FLAC and never had any issues whatsoever - on a FLAC library of over 90k songs. Thanks egd - glad I had the backup too! I've added to your post on the MiP forum - thanks for opening it. -- RoonieQ RoonieQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18150 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
What's the consensus on archiving Apple lossless files once one's analysis is complete? I can't seem to find a clear recommendation as to best practice. -- RoonieQ RoonieQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18150 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
