[slim] Empty Plugins folder (OS X Mavericks)
So i decided to carry out the necessary steps to fix the BBC streams in the iPlayer plugin. In order to replace the menu.opml file I navigated to user/Library/Application Support/Squeezebox/Plugins ~ but the folder is empty! I have enabled showing invisible files, but still can't see anything in the Plugins folder. A Spotlight search for menu.opml finds nothing.

Re: [slim] Apple question about signal strength
An Express helped with SB3 reception in my bedroom. At first I tried the Express right next to the SB, but that only bumped the signal a little. The real improvement came when I plugged in the Express in the hall outside the bedroom. Thick concrete walls in my (Tokyo) apartment were eating signal strength, so it was down to 25 in the bedroom. With the Express in the hall, most walls were bypassed. Now signal strength is over 80. I use a g, not n, network - but I wouldn't be able to use the SB in the bedroom without the Express. The Express is no better than the SB at receiving a signal, but strategically placed it can help push a strong signal to the SB. -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47363 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Scanner completes scan in 2 or 3 seconds
Check that a plugin (if you are using any) hasn't gone 'bad'. Turn of 3rd party plugins, then physically remove them from the plugins folder. Try scanning again. If it works, then something has gone funky with one of your plugins. Try dropping them back in one at a time (doing test rescans), until you hit on the bad one.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter rescanning - 150 hours?!!!
Go to settings/advanced/logs and set all the scanning logs (3 of them) to 'debug', then try the scan again. You should be able to see the file scanner paused on by looking at scanner.log after the scan. Another way is to reset the music directory to only some of your music, and try a scan. If that works, add more music to your directory and try again. This way you can at least narrow down a dodgy file to a specific batch of music files. Then look at scanner.log again. Also, if you have any 3rd party plugins, turn them off, and temporarily remove them from the plugins folder - then try to scan again. I would guess (not as an expert, but as someone who has had to resolve a couple of scanning problems) that a specific file or folder is causing the problem ~ you just have to track it down! -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45536 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Grave doubts about Logitech 'support
OK, so I am eating humble pie and recognise that Logitech support isn't so different from any other kind of support. I guess it's the basic principal that a fresh instal is always the best way to start - even with a complex system like slimserver/squeezecenter. If being asked to do a clean instal was accompanied by a note that all server settings would be lost, it might make it less potentially troublesome. Perhaps advice on how to backup settings (if that is possible) could also be given before being requested to do a clean instal. That's what really bugs me ~ a blanket piece of advice, without a warning that settings will be lost, and no hint as how to back up those settings. -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45372 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Grave doubts about Logitech 'support
I was wondering if Logitech Support has helped anyone resolve a problem, without having to do a clean install of the software (slimerserver or squeezecenter). I contacted them earlier this year with an issue, and they had only one answer: deletes all traces of the software and do a clean install. As this would mean losing all the various settings I have done to the server, and plugins, I really didn't want to do it. So I ignored them, and managed to find an answer elsewhere. Once someone told me what to look for in the log files, I tracked down a troublesome file in a music folder, deleted it, and everything worked fine again. I got the feeling that Logitech Support either didn't know how to really troubleshoot a problem (on a Mac anyway), or that they do - but telling people to wipe everything and start again is easier. I fear the latter is true, as this time the 'first tier' of support told me to do just that, without any attempt to track down the problem. I have now been promoted to the 2nd tier, and low and behold they are saying the exact same thing - before they have even attempted to find out what the problem really is. This kind of 'Support' might be normal in a Windows environment, but as a Mac user (and very long term slim devices customer) I find it shoddy and lazy. Has anyone managed to get real support from them? If so, could you let me have the name of the support staff who helped you? I am beginning to wonder if anyone there really understands the nuts and bolts of the software. Sorry if I sound riled - but I am. I do not consider this to be 'support' at all. -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45372 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Suddenly won't scan
For no apparent reason, Squeezecenter (7.0) suddenly refuses to scan. When I try to scan, I get the following feedback in Status: Music Scan Details: Progress information from the previous scan is not available. The scanner log shows the auto scan done at 2am 4 days ago (Done scanning), but does show my recent attempts to scan. What might be going on Nothing has changed since then, apart from updating iTunes yesterday (Mac OSX). -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45237 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Suddenly won't scan
Very strange. Turning on debugging for scanner.log is having no effect. Somehow the scanner.log file is just not being updated, since the auto scan 4 days ago. All firewalls and virus scanning is off. I can see no reason why scanning refuses to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction, before I contact Logitech support?

Re: [slim] Album artwork not showing up
Thanks for the tips. I went into advanced settings and added a bunch of alternative file names (lower and upper case initial letters), and now a lot more artwork is showing up. -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Album artwork not showing up
Sorry, but searching didn't help me much ... In the album view (sc7) only a few album artworks show up. (I am not linking to an iTunes library.) Should cover .jpg's be named in any particular way for them to show up? -- snoogly snoogly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Can 'bad' files in music folder cause Slimserver to freeze?
Over the last week or so my Slimserver often freezes - causing both SB3's to 'lock up'. Only way to resolve it is restart Slimserver. What could be the possible causes of this?

Re: [slim] WDS network issues
Thanks - I've got it now. It's so simple - yet I just couldn't get my head around it.
