Re: [slim] Spotify to offer Lossless Streaming
Great news! I hope it will be available in Canada and for only a few dollars more for lossless streaming like Amazon Music HD. I have tried Tidal (too expensive) and AM HD (reasonably priced), but have always reverted back to Spotify because it is best at personalizing playlist. raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114009 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] UPNP media server plugin
I have tried running this LMS plugin on a PI4 with Raspian. My UPnP/DLNA devices initially pick up the LMS server, but quickly lose connection requiring the server to be frequently restarted. Andy, the plugin's author, has not been around since the Logiteck takeover, so it would be my guess that the plugin has become unstable with the many updates to LMS since his departure. I have opted to using Plex on the PI4 to reliably UPnP/DLNA stream. raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111575 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Location Services
Unfortunately, using a VPN does not guarantee being unblocked. Some services monitor for VPN assigned addresses and block them when detected. Netflix is one of the most aggressive in doing this and in my experience Pandora does the same. Some VPN providers try to stay ahead of the game by acquiring new IP addresses, but eventually the streaming services catch them out. I personally use both a VPN and DNS provider and find the latter to be more reliable when accessing US streaming services. Regardless, you should contact your VPN provider about the problem because they generally rely on their customers to tell them what sites are blocked before they take corrective action. raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109283 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcement - ickStream open beta release on Squeezebox !
I am experiencing heavy buffering playing tracks from TIDAL (FLAC), but not from the other services (MP3) I have tried under ickStream. I am using LMS 7.8.1 running under WHS 2011 with a SB3 as a player. The buffering occurs both on wifi and wired connections. Oddly, it is worse when ethernet is used. I have set the network radio station buffer to the full 30 seconds with no noticeable improvement. My ISP download speed is in the order of 50Mbps and I have no problem with the FLAC stream from TIDAL on several PC's and an iPad.

Re: [slim] How to disable SB3 Optical O/P when off?
I guess in this case audio does mean only audio and useful in your application, although I would have thought that turning off the SB would normally result in no audio coming from the analogue port. Can't see why you need a setting for this. In the case of the optical port you are modulating the audio on a light carrier and need the option to turn off the carrier and/or the audio, depending on your application. Anyway, it seems from the bug comments that the intricacies of the problem are well understood and we can look forward to a proper solution in SC7.1. -- raglencross raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47707 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Quite upset - Rhapsody!
It appears that at least one of the service providers in question takes into account that the particulars of your account are US based even though you may be accessing the service from a non-US IP, such as when travelling abroad. If SN is to get involved in filtering then account information (i.e. having a username and password) should override access IP. Anyway, why add this level of complexity? Just state in big bold letters on the website and SB's that the services are US Only.

Re: [slim] Rhapsody + Squeezebox = Endless Frustration
I used to have a lot of problems with Rhapsody and other services before I changed ISP's. After that the SB3 performed flawlessly. Recently, I switched ISP's again for one offering more bandwidth at a cheaper price. All my old problems came back and after a few days I switched back to the previous ISP. The long and the short of it is that streaming in real time over the internet is at the mercy of many variables, such as latency and jitter, and this I am afraid varies greatly between individual servers and clients because of the intervening network. -- raglencross raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42501 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
