[slim] SB3 Random Reboots
I have a 'Classic' Squeezebox 3 that randomly reboots when playing music. Maybe every 10-20 minutes or so. I have replaced the power supply, took out the wireless card (it is connected by ethernet), did a Xilinx chip and factory reset. It doesn't run hot, so I don't think it is overheating... Not sure what else to do. Any other ideas?

[slim] Play Next button gone in 7.6?
I just moved my server to an old laptop and installed vortexbox on it. This upgraded the Squeezeserver software to 7.6.0. All seems to work fine (yeah!) but my Play Next button seems to be gone from some places. It is still their in Album view or Artist view, but not in Song view. In Song view I only see Play and Add to Playlist. The 'Save' seems to be gone to (heart shaped icon). I also don't see the Play Next button after I generate a MusicIP Mix.

Re: [slim] MusicIP and accented characters in 7.5.1
SqueezeCenter can create mixes with accented characters in the filename, however it won't play them since it can't find them because of the wrong character encoding (the error will show up in the log). Do yours actually play? This character encoding has been an issue with many versions of SqueezeCenter/Slimserver. Very frustrating. I resisted 'fixing' my filenames as well, but now I gave in, and changed my library. See also bugs I filed earlier (which probably will never be fixed since it is under the 7.4.* version): http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15486 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15701 -- treble treble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78059 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] MusicIP and accented characters in 7.5.1
Unfortunately the Perl script didn't work with my cygwin installation on Windows XP. It could find the accented characters but didn't replace them with their 'equal' part, like é to e. So I converted my characters in filenames and folders from UTF to ASCII with MP3Tag using the 'action' feature. For people who want to try as well, I have attached the 'mta' file so you don't have to recode it yourself. Drop it in the folder: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_LOGIN_NAME\Application Data\Mp3tag\data\actions. I now know more then I ever wanted to know about character sets! There is still some manual clicking needed since 'do with all' or something like that, doesn't really seem to work. Also, the folder above the folder with mp3 files doesn't get fixed. So if you have something like: Music\Maná\Maná - 2008 - Arde El Cielo\01 - Dejame Entrar.mp3, the first Maná doesn't get converted to Mana, but the one in the Album name does. You can easily find those with the Perl script using cygwin. The result re: MusicIP? It fixed the problem!!! I can now create mixes with SqueezeCenter in which songs with accented characters appear and they even play without complaining! So in short, if you want to use MusicIP you can not have 'international' characters in the filename or folder, but you can in the ID tags. -- treble treble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78059 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] MusicIP and accented characters in 7.5.1
I am still having problems with MusicIP mixes and songs with accented/international characters in the filename. I can create a mix fine with a song with an é or other characters, but the songs with international characters don't show up in the playlist, incl. the seed song if it has some. There is something with the encoding that is different on initiating the mix and getting it back from MusicIP. Example: creating mix, in the log it will say: [10-04-28 20:48:23.5593] Slim::Plugin::MusicMagic::Plugin::getMix (940) Creating mix for: song using: E:\Music\All Music\Music\' A B C D E\Angelique Kidjo\1991 - Logozo\04 - Wé-Wé.mp3 as seed.

Returning undef. See how the character encoding is very different of the Wé-Wé title... The seed song actually doesn't even show up as the first song as it should, and playing the MusicIP list it will say when it plays the first song of the mix number 2 of 50. I don't think it is a MusicIP problem, because when I paste the url of the mix request (see above line starting with [10-04-28 20:48:23.5602]) it returns a nice mix with 50 songs having international characters.

[slim] Re: Wiki page on player firmware
Since I had major problems with firmware 29 and 35, I have downgraded firmware from 29 and up back to 28 by (clean) reinstalling 6.2.1. You can then reinstall 6.2.2 but before starting it you have to edit the squeezebox2.version file in the Firmware subdirectory to show something like: Code: # Squeezebox2 firmware # # fromto # from1..from2 to 1..35 28 # future versions may be downgraded to this one * 28 I am not sure if you really have to reinstall 6.2.1 first. It might be just enough to edit this file (since 6.2.2 comes with FW28) and restart the slimserver. -- treble treble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22387 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Audio dropouts during Search Music - Possible to increase buffering?
I got the same thing with skipping to the next song in a random mix.
But my PC is not a dual Xeon by far ('fairly powered' you call it!?).
For me it only occured when I was using MySQL. When I switched back to
SQLite the dropouts disappeared. Unexpected, since I thought MySQL
would be quicker. I have about 13K tracks.
At one time I had a 'cache' indicator in my SoftSqueeze, like percent
full. Now I can't remember how I got it to show.

[slim] SQLite faster then MySQL!?
Hi, I installed MySQL awhile ago, hoping that my slimserver would run a bit quicker. But it created actually more problems, like whenever a new song was requested during Random Mix there was a 10 second pause or so (see my post: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20494 ). Then I realized that even starting a Random Mix could take over 20 seconds. So I tried going back to SQLite, and now... all seems a lot faster. A new Random Mix starts after about 5-6 seconds... My PC is has an AMD Athlon XP 1150MHz CPU with 512+256=768M of memory. SlimServer Version: 6.2.2 - 5815 - Windows 2000 - EN - cp1252. Other then slimserver not much else is using CPU or Memory. Any ideas why SQLite is fater then MySQL?

[slim] FWD on Random Mix hiccups
Whenever I do a random mix and want to skip to the next song by either using the remote or slimserver software the song pauses for a couple of seconds after about 10 seconds into the song. This is not a random occurence, it happens all the time. THe time stays at 0:00, then after about 10 seconds pauses for a couple of seconds, then starts playing again, the clock continues then as well. If I just let the song finish to the end, the next one plays fine. This only happens with the random mix. I can play for example skip through a whole album or other playlist fine. Anyone else seeing this? My SB3 is wireless (signal strenght about 60-70%).

[slim] Fishbone Skin: Album link missing?
Fishbone looks very nice! But is there a way to make the Album in the Playlist clickable in the Fishbone skin? An example: Using the file.ext format: Clicking on 04 - Found A Job.mp3 will play that song right away. Clicking on Talking Heads will list the Browse Artist/Artist page. Unfortunately the Album Title is not clickable. 15. _04_-_Found_A_Job.mp3_ by _Talking_Heads_ from -Stop Making Sense [Special Edition]- I tried a couple other formatting options, but then the whole entry gets just one hyperlink to make it play right away. So now there is no easy way without too many clicks to create an MusicMagic Mix of that song. What I actually would like is an extra 'mm' icon in the Playlist View that will create an instant MusicMagic Mix based on that song added to the current list of icons already there. Something like this: Move Up | Move Down| Next | Remove from playlist | Song Info | mm Or is there any other skin that will show this?

I don't have a Squeezebox yet, but seriously thinking about it, because the sound quality I get through my TiVo is not that great. I use MusicMagic all the time with my TiVo ( http://www.predixis.com ). The nice thing is that the first option on the TiVo MusicMagic screen is the 'Instant Mix'. This creates a mix based on a random song in your collection. If I don't like it, I just press left arrow and try another instant mix. As I understand how MusicMagic works with the Squeezebox is that there is a little icon or something behind the songtitle when it is 'mixable'. My question is if it is easy to get a random song out of my whole collection to create a MusicMagic Mix. I read somewhere that there is an option for 'Random Mix' for the Sqeezebox.
