Re: [slim] Just bought a Squeezebox Classic. Some problems
Currently my collection uses both, but it seems that SC has troubles with that. That's a bit strange, because there seems to be code in place to extract a year from a date tag. I don't know why it doesn't work for me. Maybe it has something to do with the update of the database.

Yes, you are right (and all others :) ). At least I now knew what I had to look for. A single file had a MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME tag.

Re: [slim] Just bought a Squeezebox Classic. Some problems
No, I'm not into perl, but I do know C, so perl shouldn't be that hard. The files are mostly flac, especially the Frans Liszt CD. I checked those files with easytag, which show only a Vorbis tag. Using 'head' and 'tail' on the file also only show a Vorbis tag, so I think there really is no id3 tag. Both options also do not show something like a sort tag which could place Liszt under the 'D'. So apart from following the file's life inside SC, I do not see many options to see what's going wrong here.

As for 'the internals of the server', SC is written in Perl, so all the source code is already there on your computer for you to explore at your leisure. If you are fluent in Perl. But I'll bet anything that the problem is your tags and not the SC internals. What format are files: MP3, FLAC, AAC, ALAC, something else? That will determine what type of tags they should have. I am fairly certain that Max can write ID3 tags, but that's not what you want if the files are FLAC.

I can't answer your question about the volume control, but all of the other issues look like tagging problems to me. You need to look at the tags carefully with a good tagging program. Focus on the problem areas you've mentioned and you'll probably find some inconsistencies. For example, the Dietrich/Haskell problem is almost certainly because of bad or simply missing ARTISTSORT tags. If your files are MP3 then you need to look out for tracks that have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, and possibly APE tags. In general, eliminate all the ID3v1 tags and use only ID3v2 tags. Unfortunately I don't know a good tagging program for the Mac, but I expect someone will offer a suggestion. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65586 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Actually the SB3 is supposed to switch over to ethernet as soon as you plug in the ethernet cable (assuming it's a good cable). This is different from the SB Duet Receiver, which does require the user to re-do the setup process. That said, it certainly is a good idea to double-check that the SB3 is indeed using the ethernet connection after plugging it in.

Sometime changing ch's, particularly in more urban settings, can result in much higher % gains than what you are experiencing. But, hey, even 6% is better than not switching ch's. I'm not in an urban area but just changing ch's gave me a solid 20% signal boost.

Re: [slim] Just bought a Squeezebox Classic. Some problems
Wiring the Mac to the router shouldn't involve an extra cable to your stereo, unless you keep either the Mac or the router with the stereo. Can you locate your Mac and router near each other, but away from the stereo? Leave that connection wired and try going wireless with the SB3 and see if it still works well. Normally having a wired connection to the server is more important than having wired connection to the player. If you still have too many wires consider getting homeplug ethernet adapters. They cost some money, but usually less than the cost of pulling ethernet cable (which not everyone can do because of living in a rental, etc.). -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65586 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Choose ch 1 or 6 or 11, whichever is NOT seen or shows weakest competing signal. Nearby WiFi signals on the same ch can cause some interference with each other, weakening your signal. Running in G only also helps (can't hurt), assuming you have no B devices. You are running a "double WiFi hop" as both of your devices (SB3 and MAC server) are both wireless. It can operate this way but it can also be troublesome and may well explain your stated sluggish behavior. A real simple test would be to temporarily wire your MAC or SB3 to your ADSL router (I'm assuming the modem can operate in both WiFi and wired simultaneously, never used one myself) and see if your SB3 becomes a bit more responsive. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65586 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Most of the functional "problems" you have are implemented in Squeezecenter which is open source and you can therefore modify. Performance (e.g. slow response time) is usually network or SC processor/system related.

So if you change the OFF brightness to zero you won't see the screen saying "cannot connect to SC". If you want the clock with your server OFF you can connect to SqueezeNetwork before logging the SB3 off of your server. Now it can use the online SN server display your clock.

Re: [slim] Just bought a Squeezebox Classic. Some problems
- Firmware is not open source. - It never really turns OFF (unless you unplug it), just set it's Power Off Brightness to zero in SC7 > Settings > Player > Display - To get back to previous Menu item go to SC > Settings > Player > Basic Settings > Screensaver when Playing = Jump Back on Wake - Sluggish IR response can be a weak WiFi signal, go to SC7 > Settings > Information and see what your signal strength is (assuming you are using WiFi) - FF & Rewind are not usable on certain file formats, what format are you trying to FF on? -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65586 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Just bought a Squeezebox Classic. Some problems
Hi, Yesterday I bought a Squeezebox Classic, to be able to wireless connect the music on my MAC with my stereo. After using it for a while, I found a few problems. First, I turned off iTunes support, but for some reason SqueezeCenter insists on scanning the iTunes library and the music in there shows up on my Classic. How can I stop it from doing so? (The real music is on an external drive). Second, when the Classic is playing music and I turn off my mac, the Classic tries to reconnect indefinitely to the SqueezeCenter. Is there some way to teach it to turn off (which seems more logical to me), at the moment I have to pull the plug to make it do something useful (that is, I want to sleep and do not want to put the mac back on). Is the firmware on the Classic also open source? There are a few thinks which I do not really like: -It doesn't remember the last menu position from which I played a track, pressing the left button on the remote always returns to the main menu, instead of the previous location. That makes browsing and exploring my music very difficult as I always have to navigate back to where I left. -Sometimes (especially after it has just started playing its first song) it simply refuses do react to anything I do. It seems to be waiting for some server response, but doesn't realise that when I press the left arrow that it can completely forget about that response. I'm not interested in it anymore. -The music forward and backward buttons do not always work, although they do not seems to have any other meaning at other locations in the menu. -Search queries are not remembered. -"Alive kic" does not match "Alive and kicking". Seems that the space is treated as part of the query instead of as a keyword separator. -Skipping songs is very slow, probably because the Classic tries to play the song immediately. I think it would be better if it first display the title and then tries to actually play it. If I hit next before it can buffer/play, it can as well forget to do that and try again for the next song. It would probably improve how responsive the Classic feels. -The same holds for skipping back. I always have to press back twice for each song and it always plays the first block of audio data, no matter how fast I press the back button. First handling user input and than trying to play the song would probably improve that. If the firmware is open source, I might be able to fix some things my self. If not, I hope someone from Logitech is reading this :) Thanks in advance.
