Re: [slim] Does Anyone Have a Slimdevice for Sale?

2022-12-19 Thread w3wilkes


I too must defend the Duets. I run two Duet receivers on wifi and
they've been rock solid. I did have to replace a power supply for one
Duet receiver and a wifi card in the other one. For me the key was a
wifi router with good radios like ASUS has. One caution on the
Squeezebox radios is they have issues with wifi 6 routers but the Duet
receivers work just fine on wifi 6 routers, at least the RT-AX86U which
has turned out to be the most reliable router I've ever owned.

If no one does you could build a PiCore Player with a touch screen.
Here's a link to some instructions. It's very simple, I even built one
but I didn't need the touchscreen.

[slim] Fire HD 10 Gen 9 - Material APK Won't Install

2022-12-10 Thread w3wilkes


I have 2 fire hd 10 tablets, one is a gen 9 and the other is gen 11,
neither is the ad supported version. According to what I can find from
Amazon they are both based on Android 9 API level 28. I've installed the
Google playstore on both and that works fine. At some point in the past
I installed Material apk 014 on both successfully. I downloaded material
apk 030 on both and it installed fine on the gen 11, but just won't
install on the gen 9 tablet. The gen 9 File manager and Chrome browser
are allowed to install from unknown locations and the install goes
through all the motions and the install progress bar goes to about 80%
and then gives the triangle with exclamation and says app not installed.
I won't try uninstalling 014 on the gen 9 tablet as I don't want to risk
not being able to get the apk back on the tablet. Hopefully someone out
there in Squeeze land knows the trick to get the current 030 apk to
complete the install on a gen 9 Fire HD 10 tablet.

A great review of the Touch and the Squeeze platform! I've been happily
Squeezing my music since Christmas 2008 when I got my first Duet. I now
run 2 Duets, a Pi with PiCorePlayer and a Boom. Don't get the big deal
about the Duets, mine run on WiFi flawlessly. I did have to replace the
WiFi card in one of the Duet receivers and also a receiver power supply,
but other than that they've been trouble free. Can't thank Michael,
Craig, Phillip and the rest that have kept the Squeeze platform alive
and relevant through the years. From my perspective the whole Squeeze
music platform is G.O.A.T.!

Re: [slim] Maintaining an Old System

2022-03-17 Thread w3wilkes


Sounds like a classic wifi issue. Have you checked to see if you have
competing neighbors on the same channel that you're using for your
2.4Ghz band? I explicitly set my channel rather than have the router use
the auto setting, I do think the receivers have issues following the
router if the wifi channel is set to auto. How old is your router. I
recently upgraded to an ASUS AX (wifi 6) router and found that the
signal was strong enough that I've now removed the access point I put in
the basement. I've had no trouble with the wifi 6 being enabled on the
ASUS router either. My 2 receivers and the Boom work without a hitch on
wifi.

I've not seen this issue. With the device connected to my network I then
go into the setup for LAN and click the "Add" button which then brings
up a list of all attached devices within my DHCP range. I can then
select the device I want to reserve an IP address for and it brings up a
dialog with the MAC address and all I have to do is override the IP
address to what I want, save it and in Netgear land the router will
reboot. Since my ASUS is 350 miles away I can't verify exactly how this
process happens, but it's similar.

I did not mean static. At least on my ASUS RT-AX86U and my Netgear
DGND3700v1 at a 2nd location allows setting a reserved IP address
outside the defined DHCP range. Note in the attached image DHCP range is
.32-254 and reserved IP addresses are below this range. This ensures
that DHCP cannot assign a reserved IP address to any device other than
the target MAC address. The reserved addresses are within the same
subnet. I consider this method to be a "best practice". At both
locations I have my LMS server at 192.168.0.16 so I only need one entry
for the LMS UI in all my browser favorites regardless of which location
I'm at.

Seems like it was an ISP provided modem/router - years ago. Set DHCP
range like 192.168.0.32-254. Then attempted to reserve IP address of
192.168.0.15 for a printer and received a out of range error. Never had

Personally I do add reserved IP's outside the DHCP range. I've helped
friends in the past and seen routers that wouldn't allow IP's outside
the DHCP range so that's why I mentioned it. So in my case "who the
hell" was forced by a particular router.

Another good reason to go reserved IP address at the router is if your
target device is offline and some other device connects the router the
router may assign the static IP address you've set in your player. Then
when you bring the player back online you would have an IP address
conflict with the other device. This won't happen when using the
reserved IP address method at the router.

Re: [slim] Market for used Squeezeboxes?

2022-01-25 Thread w3wilkes


I would guess your best shot is here on these forums since we know what
these are and how to use them. 2nd would be ebay. Don't know how big
your library of local music is, but there is a limit to the size of your
library with Sonos. I would see Sonos as reasonable for the radio and
boom, but what about the Touch? Does Sonos have something to plug into
your stereo to replace the Touch?

What do you mean by "can't connect"? Can your radio see your 2.4GHz
network SSID (name you gave it)? Just FYI, none of the actual Squeeze
devices can see a 5GHz wifi network if that's what you're trying to
connect to. Please give us more detail.

I agree that the hardware is fine. I have an old DGND3700v1 with 3rd
party firmware that has been very reliable at another location. I got
the firmware from richud.com and I'll say that Netgear would only dream
of creating firmware this reliable and configurable. I once though
Netgear was great kit, but not anymore, takes more than decent hardware

Re: [slim] ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8) firmware upgrade disconnects my squeezeboxes

2021-11-21 Thread w3wilkes


This last summer I upgraded my router to an RT AX86U and now on stock
firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45934. Before my wifi was pretty weak so I had an
AP to get coverage. What I've found with the new router is it covers my
whole house very well so I no longer require the AP so I didn't
implement AIMesh. When I first put up this router I tried the RMerlin
firmware and found my Duet receivers were constantly disconnecting and
reconnecting. All the suggestions from the ASUS RMerlin folks involved
changing settings to the 2.4GHz wifi that would reduce the full
capability of the new router. I tried the stock firmware from ASUS and
all the problems with my Duet receivers vanished. Here's my current
2.4GHz settings and they work flawlessly with my receivers.

I've had two Duet receiver power supplies fail over the last 12 years.
The last time I had a failure I bought one of these 'cords'

and then I can just pick up another USB wall charger. I did have a wifi
card in a receiver fail and that was also replaceable. Any time I need a
player now days I just build up another PicorePlayer. These PCP's will
keep the LMS ecosystem alive for years to come!

Re: ASUS RT-AX55 Mesh Router�s Compatibility with SB Radios

2021-08-26 Thread w3wilkes


I don't know what's different about the SB radios? I run 2 Duets with
controllers and a Boom (along with squeezelite on a couple of PC's) all
on a single Asus RT-AX86U with wifi 6 enabled. Used to have a Linksys
EA6350 in AP mode over ethernet, but removed it when I found that the
Asus gave me way better coverage than the old Netgear router I replaced
with the Asus. Are the SB radios that much different than the Duet
controllers and the Boom? And onto the security question about the SB
devices... I've been running SB for a little over 12 years now and
(knock on wood) have not seen any security issues. The only time it
seems like there's a security problem is with those that have opened up
the Squeeze ports to LMS to the "big I". I'm not aware of anyone having
a SB device hacked.

Interesting. I recently had an issue where I couldn't save playlists

I believe this is accomplished with a factory reset, long press the

either with the controller or NET::UDAP.

@garym, Thanks for confirming my replaygain approach!

On the Foobar2000 question I think I'll go get an id on their forum so I
can post the question over there.

[slim] Replaygain - Check My Thinking

2020-09-28 Thread w3wilkes


Two questions...

I have a playlist of about 80 songs that I've now put on a CD ISO in
MP3. The tracks all had track and album gain tags. The CD player in my
car doesn't know about gain tags so I used Foobar2000 to copy the tracks
to a folder and then used the Foobar2000 utility to apply track gain to
the files. I've used that folder to burn the CD ISO of MP3's and this
way I think I should not have any big volume differences from track to
track. Does this thinking make sense?

Another question on Foobar2000. It's easy enough to have Foobar2000 copy
the tracks in a playlist, but I can't find a way to keep the songs on
the order they occur in the playlist. I had to go to the folder I put
the song in and prepend each track with a sequence number so the tracks
in the folder are in the same order as the playlist. Does anyone know if
there's a way with Foobar2000 to prepend a copied playlist with sequence
numbers?

If you are on a Windows system there's an Android app for your phone /

Then there's humor in the migration to CD... "Tom Petty - Full Moon
Fever - Running Down a Dream" at the end of this song on the CD where he
added the blurb;

Hello CD listeners...
We've come to the point in this album where those listening on cassette,
or records, will have to stand up or sit down and turn over the record
or tape. In fairness to those listeners, we'll now take a few seconds

[slim] Change Request: Music and Artist Information Plugin

2020-06-07 Thread w3wilkes


@mherger
Michael,
Would it be possible to move the things in this box up to the Album so
you don't have to drill into a song to see these items, at least the
Album information and Local Artwork items. If Artist information is from
the Artist, not Album Artist tag then Artist information should probably
stay where it is.

@cpd73
Craig,
Also this would be nice to also have a change to Material skin so this
can be accessed without having to drill to a song in an album.

Thanks for considering,
Wilkes

The PiCorePlayers are cheap and easy enough to build which should carry
this platform for the foreseeable future. I find the player to be easier
to configure and more reliable than a Duet receiver. On occasion the
Duet receiver has just started playing loud static that I have to hit
Rew and it then picks up where it was supposed to before the static
blast. The Pi I built has never missed a beat. With my Duet controller
it's no change for the wife, which is great as she knows how to use the
controller even though she has Orange Squeeze on her phone.

FYI- This plugin also adds the same "Local Artwork" item to the list of
things for an album in Orange Squeeze to look at all the local artwork
I've stored in the album folder. Dang, now I have to think about
scanning any booklets or whatever came with a disc so I can have it
available on the couch on my phone or on my PC in the WebUI.

Again, Thanks!

Re: [slim] Back Cover Art

2019-10-13 Thread w3wilkes


Installed and it's not quite as straight forward as it sounded. I had to
select the "M" item in the list (circled in red) and then I got the
"Local Artwork" item which calls up small images of what's in the
current folder. An image can be clicked to bring up a nice sized picture
of the image selected with arrows to move through the images in the
folder.

I thought that somewhere I did something to get the "M" in that list,
but I can't find it! Is it just a figment of my imagination or is the
"M" always available?

[slim] Back Cover Art

2019-10-13 Thread w3wilkes


On all my new rips I've been including both the front cover "Folder.jpg"
and the back cover as "Rear.jpg" in my album folders. Also as time
permits I've been adding rear cover art to the rest of my album folders.
Is there any possibility of adding a feature to the LMS WebUI that when
I click on the cover and a new tab opens (Chrome and the new Chromium
based Edge browser on Win10) with the "Folder.jpg" that a ">" arrow
could be added on the right to scroll to either "Rear.jpg" or
"Back.jpg"? Then when viewing the back cover have a "<" on the left to
scroll back to the front cover.

Re: [slim] How do you backup playlists?

mandryka wrote:

Let's take an example and assume "D:\Music" is your root music folder
and you have a structure under this that's something like
"D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\[Songs]".
For absolute file locations in your playlist the song entries would be;

D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\song1
D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\song2
D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\song3

For playlists using relative file locations in the root music folder
"D:\Music\[Playlists]" the song entries would be;

[Artist]\[Album]\song1
[Artist]\[Album]\song2
[Artist]\[Album]\song3

In this manner I can copy my entire library (\Music\*), including
playlists, from a Windows PC to my android phone and not have to change
a thing. The relative position of the song files does not change across
platforms. I've not tested with *nix or Apple platforms, but I would
guess they would work the same as Android.

Re: [slim] How do you backup playlists?

2019-09-21 Thread w3wilkes


This may sound like heresy to some of the SB folks, but I have all my
playlists in my root SB music folder. I've found this works very well as
long as you use relative file locations rather than absolute file
locations in the playlists. This also allows me to move my entire music
library between different OS platforms with no trouble. If you use
absolute file location in playlists and have the playlists in your SB
music folder LMS has been known to show duplicate music as a result of
the way LMS scans playlists, this doesn't happen when using relative
music file locations in playlists.

Re: [slim] EAC question

2019-08-29 Thread w3wilkes


Do you mean RIP a CD? Reading the CD and creating some type output file
(MP3, FLAC, WAV, Etc) is a RIP. Burning a CD is taking files on your
computer and writing them to a CD. Once you've RIP'd a CD, you can
verify the tags using something like MP3Tag to ensure the tags meet your
needs (Album name, Artist name, Album Artist name, Track name, Track
number, etc). Once you've got your RIP where you want you need to copy
it to the folder LMS expects your music to be in and then you need to do
a scan of your music folder the files were put into. The scan can either
be a "Scan for new and changed" or a "Clear library and rescan all.

I fully agree about GIGO. The only part that I would see as a bug is
when the tracks that created "Pop" and "pop" genres all get bucketed
under just one of these. The songs should be bucketed matching "pop" or
"Pop". This makes the GIGO obvious to the user that they have tag
cleanup work to do and which tracks need the work.

Re: [slim] Small Integrated Amp Recommendation?

2019-05-10 Thread w3wilkes


I'm in a similar situation and ended up with a Onkyo DR-UN7. I had to
get a converter to change the component video out to HDMI. It will not
play BlueRay, only regular DVD's and CD's. The Onkyo by itself will only
run the front speakers, to run the rest of a 5.1 surround would require
a separate power amp, but we don't need surround and I can't remember
the last time we actually watched a DVD at the cabin anyway.  I built a
PiCore player with hifiberry DAC+ with analog out to the Onkyo driving
small Bose AM3's. For a pretty small system both my wife and I are very
happy with the sound. I have a full copy of my home library on my laptop
and run LMS on the laptop when I'm at the cabin.

Re: [slim] How to organise Poweramp like Squeezebox

2018-12-25 Thread w3wilkes


I know this thread is over 2 years old, but I use PowerAmp on my phone.
It has been updated to V3, requires at least Android 5. It does have
both Folder Hierarchy and just Folder methods to view your library. For
an android phone app I'm impressed with how much functionality PowerAmp
has. It does its own DB so it's not restricted to what android
allows/supports. Even stuff like multi-genre support in tags, both
Artist and Album Artist main categories and gapless playback. The
Library browse methods are much like LMS. Doesn't seem to have library
size limits other than the amount of storage you've got. I've got
23,000+ tracks in 1,600+ albums on a 256GB SD card and it works great.
The biggest difference is the management of how music is played. The
default method is different than LMS, but it does have a queue method
that is much more like LMS's way to manage what's playing. I just copied
my full LMS library folder directly from my laptop to the SD card and
put it in the phone, did a full scan with PowerAmp and it was done and
even all my m3u playlists worked without changes being required (I have
always had my playlists use relative folder methods and keep them in the
root music folder even though that's not recommended here in the
community)

I have no stake or affiliation with this app.

Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool

2018-10-25 Thread w3wilkes


What system are you trying to run UDAP on. If a Windows system just use
the .exe file. The Windows .exe file of Net::UDAP is self contained file
with all the Pearl stuff integrated. When you run Net::UDAP the receiver
needs to be ethernet cable attached to your router and then put into
factory reset (long press on front button until you get the fast red
blink, about 15 seconds).

I was not aware that iTunes could play flac files. How was that
accomplished?

I presume you don't include the cost of the speakers in your "total cost
is less than $150" or you need to tell us where you acquired the
speakers. ;-)

Back when I was growing up in the 60's we all appreciated good quality
sounding music. In 1970 when I got my first apartment my 1st purchase
was a modest, but decent sounding stereo. Cinder blocks and some boards
was my stereo "cabinet". Now in my late 60's and with hearing aids I
still have a decent sounding stereo (I'm no audiophile) and Squeezebox
has given me a way more efficient way to sift through my music without
any loss in the quality of the music from my CD's it was ripped from. I
believe the wife appreciates the ease of picking what she wants hear too
with Squeezebox.

It's on a very rare occasion that I'll pull out vinyl to play. Most
recently was when my 9 year old grandson said "Papa, do you have any
records?". I said yes and he asked me to show him how they worked. I
went to the basement and pulled out an album, fired up the turntable,
gave the grandson a quick lesson on proper handling of vinyl, slapped
the record on the turntable cleaned it with the Disc Washer and let it
fly. I explained how the music is stored in the spiral grove and how
stereo works in that grove. He seemed to soak it all in and though it
was pretty cool.

My 2 Duets and RPi are just wonderful and with RPi I no longer worry
about what I'll do if a Duet fails!

Re: [slim] Logitech should resurrect squeezebox

2018-08-13 Thread w3wilkes


One of the things I look for is bands that are capable of doing whole
albums like "Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit". I know we had the "one hit
wonders" like "J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers", but the one hit
wonders don't seem to have that formula for longevity that we saw in the
60's.

I've had my Duet receiver do the buzz thing too. I can just hit the
backup or skip arrow on the controller and it will quit buzzing and
start playing again.
