 Problem with tracks coming up as blanks on the slimserver seems to just
 be for tracks with any sort of punctuation like ()*. Excuse me whilst I
 just pop downstairs and see if it is playing - yep it says error cant
 open file for Blank. What could be causing that?

 I eagerly await the next revision.

Ok, just put a new version up - 0.09..

I've hopefully fixed the punctuation and accented characters in
filename/path problems. Bit of a nightmare. Previously the tracks I
was telling the server to play were relative to the server root, but
it didnt seem to like this when there were %E6 type characters in the
path, so I had to pass in the full path to the mp3 - drive letters and
everything.. Great.. Everything was working.. until I tried a .lnk
file.. Arghh.. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, when I scan, I now
build a list of .lnk files and their targets and store this in the
.moo file. When resolving a track which has a .lnk in the path, I use
this cached .lnk target to get the full absolute path to the mp3
file..

So, anyhow, fingers crossed it should work a bit better now.. The .moo
file-format's had to be changed to accomodate the .lnks, so it may ask
you to rescan the next time you fire it up.

I've also included the current playlist feature I've been working on.
The screenshot on the site shows what to expect. It's pretty basic -
it lists the currently queued up tracks and allows you to jump about
them via double-clicking. It's very much work-in-progress, and should
get a bit slicker in future releases..

Oh, and another feature's the little 'M's in the album list and
playlist.. They show the rough file-types for the item.. For an album
containing flac files, you should get an 'F' instead of an 'M', and
for oggs, you'd get an 'O', etc..

Any problems, etc, give us a shout.. Enjoy..

I just installed it and have been giving it a good thrashing on my

First impressions are that you have fixed the punctuation problem and
all files like this now play fine.

Either I am being stupid and missing something obvious or the playlist
function has not made it to the version I downloaded. I can't see any
evidence of a playlist function on either the Moose.exe or your
website. Maybe it is a web cache thing as my ISP is notorious for
this.

Love the M,W function I will actually find this very useful as I am
about to go through a process of killing my M4A files and this shows me
where they are. Although I have just noticed that MP3 and M4A both get
M's, could you possibly change this?.

For me to make this into an application I would use above the web
interface you need to (just a basic list ignoring things like internet
radio). 

1) Smarten up the list of files in an album, the current layout is not
intuitive for me, I would much prefer another list to the right of the
album just scrolling down and not across (if that makes sense). I don't
know why, it just feels wrong at the moment.
2) Have a now-playing playlist (which I guess you are working on)
3) Include Play,FF,RW buttons,volume on the Now Playing screen
4) Have the now playing screen always on (a bit like Softsqueeze) or
incorporate it into the Moose main screen.

But as it is I am going to use it now to get some new playlists up and
running, much easier than using the web interface.

I have noticed one small oddity, I have an album by the Waifs called A
brief history.

On slimserver it shows up correctly under the Waifs but on Moose it
comes up as the artist being A Brief History. I have checked the tags
and they seem to be all correct. Most baffling although I do seem to

the tagging.

Can't understand why SS and Moose would be reporting different things

Dunno.. Guess it depends how you use it.. For me I tend to just select
albums and ignore the song list - hence why it's tucked away down the

might offer a few layout schemes.. Easy enough to do..

Aye..

 3) Include Play,FF,RW buttons,volume on the Now Playing screen

Yup.. Coming soon.. Bit torn between having a complete remote control

Probably end up doing both.. Need to move them from the bottom of the
selection window anyhow.. :-)

 4) Have the now playing screen always on (a bit like Softsqueeze) or

Yup.. Need to do a major app re-shuffle.. Now playing's becoming

Weird, the list should be populated automatically, but hitting refresh should
force the server to send a fresh list.. Are you running 6.2 ? I've only tested
on that so far..

The log feature will create a log.txt file alongside moose.exe. If you load that
into a text editor and have a look towards the bottom. There should be lines
with CLI: mac status - 1 tags... Then after each of these there is a line of
reply from the server. In these reply lines, search for artist%3A and see
what lies to the right of that. This is what the now playing dialog displays
when in tag mode. (When in path mode the album will be the parent directory
name of the song file, and the artist the parent directory of that).

Hope that helps. Gmail seems to be messing me about today.. Hmmm,

Not quite sure what's going on here, but it seems if you have multiple
players and one of them's turned off, slimserver sends out huge
buffers of repeated information about the turned off player (moose
puts slimserver in listen mode), then embeds the information i need
about the current player at random offsets in the buffer. Is this a
known issue ? I guess it could be something my end. A workaround seems
to be to have all the players turned on.

 On the useability front I find that the tracklisting in the bottome

 Making the window bigger increases the size of the two top frames but
 not the bottom one. Would it be possible to increase the size of it or
 possibly have it to the right of the other two so they are all side by

Ah yes, good point.. Check out the new 0.08 that I've just uploaded..
It's now got a grip-bar type control which lets you size the songs list.

 Great work though it really is responsive and makes changing music with

 I'm wondering if the Now Playing control panel can be used as a

Yeah, the now playing side of things is just CLI driven and should work

1. okay. Surprise surprise (not sure why you guessed otherwise though),
I'm using winxp on both ends.  So I generated and copied the moose.moo
into the same dir as the moose.exe executable on my remote machine. 
Initially, still no connection.  GUI displayed An operation was
attempted on something that is not a socket. 

Turns out it was a simple problem:  I forgot to set up putty to ssh
tunnel port 9090.

2. The app would be a bit more sensible to me if the Now Playing screen
were always on, and the track selector were toggled on/off, rather than
the way it works now (pretty much the opposite). 

Also, it would be ideal if the Now Playing could include (probably just
to the right of the current/elapsed time in the lower left corner) a set
of buttons like at the bottom of the playlist window, for prev
track/pause/next track.

Oddity on track display:

Now Playing is now showing the album art, and timer bar.  I'm listening
to Random Tracks.

The Track and Album display is jumping back and forth about once a
second.  Below the heading Track [ 11 of 20 ] it alternates between
showing [1993] Message In% and 02 Driven To Tears (Live).flac. 
This is the filename I gather.

Below the heading Album it alternates between showing The Police
(1993) and [1993] Message In A Box - Disc 3 (1993)

fyi, my music is organized as follows:

c:\MUSIC_ARCHIVE\Rock\The Police\[1993] Message In A Box - Disc 3\02
Driven To Tears (Live).flac

where Rock matches genre tag, The Police matches Artist, 1993
matches year tag, Message In A Box - Disc 3 matches the album tag,
02 matches the track number, and Driven To Tears (Live) matches the
track name.

Not sure why I get such an overabundance of 1993s - it was a good year,
but still.  (And of course 1993 is not really the right year to
associate with Driven To Tears, but that's a problem with my tagging of

buttons to control the volue, play, skip and rewind on the Now Playing

Good job on resizing the tracklist that makes it much easier to see.

Problem with tracks coming up as blanks on the slimserver seems to just
be for tracks with any sort of punctuation like ()*. Excuse me whilst I
just pop downstairs and see if it is playing - yep it says error cant
open file for Blank. What could be causing that?

I eagerly await the next revision.

That's a subtlety I missed, for the blank tracks the Now playing
window shows the proper track tagging. Not sure if it is important but
thought I should mention it.

Strange.. Almost identical to my setup too..

Might be worth trying the 'Debug log file' option in the file menu.

Turn it on, then open the preferences dialog and hit 'ok', (which
forces a re-connect), then try and play a track, then close moose..
A log.txt file should be created alongside moose.exe. If you email
me the file ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I should hopefully be able
to sort the problem.. Oh, feel free to remove the username/
password line.. ;-)

Thanks,

2005-10-21 Thread Dr Lovegrove
Thanks for the feedback Matt..

I'll fix the play problem with the next build.. Looks like a problem
caused by older server builds (and my dodgy c sharp code).. I
tend to use/test on a week-old nightly 6.2, and occasionally on 5.4..

The Name and Date tabs control the sort order of the list. Name sorts
alphabetically by the text in the list, and Date sorts by the folder's
date. Theory is that newly added (or moved) music will appear
at the end of the list if sorted by date.

Point taken about filtering non-music files. Reckon it needs a couple of
display modes - 'music' and 'chuff' ? :-)
In chuff mode it could do something useful when double-clicking
too - rather than trying to queue jpg and nfo files and taking out the
server.. :-)

Add mode ? Yeah, right-click menus will be coming soon.. Also thinking
of CTRL+double-click to add to playlist.. Should be in the next build..

Have fun,

Ok.. I've just put a new build of Moose up..

* Should hopefully fix the problems people are having with the Play
button.

* Added a 'music-only mode' in the songs list, which is currently
the default. If you want to see ALL the files as before, right click the
songs list and it'll toggle between the two modes.

* CTRL+double-clicking on any list will now peform an 'add to playlist'
rather than a 'play'.

* Probably some other stuff too.. I think the year feature in the now
playing dialog is new.. Not sure..

Enjoy...

I have to confess I am yet to re-test the Moose as I have just
reconfigured my setup and moved all my music and slimserver to a new
HTPC in the attic.

This has been a pain to setup and I have not yet got the courage to
move all the music to a shared folder so I can access it from my
laptop.

I was using 6.1 but with the new computer I have switched to 6.2 so it
should be interesting to see how it goes.

As soon as the missus has stopped watching Friends for the Nth time I
will be able to give it a go and let you know how I get on.

Okay she has finished.

Firstly add to playlist does indeed work correctly, however I now get a
error message (below) if I simply want to play the track (i.e. click on
play and not add).

I am not sure what the difference between Name and Date tabs are above
the list of artist name. Clicking on Name brings up some weird album
names as artists, clicking on Date is a more sensible list.

Would it be possible to only show music files at the bottom and not all
the other chuff such as album art etc.

Could you also bring the Add button closer to the list of songs or have
a right click or button shortcut to add it. For me simply clicking on
the song should add rather than play, as this is what I would be doing
the most.

Apart from these little gripes it is great, I love the quickness and
simplicity of it and also the fact you can click on the time bar to
skip to that place in the song.

Hi Matt,

Sorry for not replying sooner.. Did you get any further with
your add to playlist issue ? I know the add button was broken
in the previous build (0.03), but I made some changes which
fixed it on 6.2.. Possibly it's still broken on older servers ?
Which server build are you running ?

Thanks,

Ah, now this sounds like it could be either the wrong server IP / Port in
the options, or more likely the wrong username  password. If you're
server's not password-ed, make sure both these fields are blank in the
options.

Also, if your MAC address has letters in, it might be worth making sure
they're lower-case. I noticed the cli doesnt like upper-case MAC addresses,
so I convert them to lowercase internally. I may have missed one or two..

Failing that, it could be a firewall issue.. The error basically means it
couldnt initiate a telnet session with the server.

Hope that helps,

I gave it a brief run last night and as far as I got playing with it it
looked great, very responsive just what I was after, especially being
able to skip to a place on the song with one click of the mouse. 

However I couldn't seem to get the add to playlist function to work. I
could double click on a song and get that playing but it wouldn't add.

I will play around with it a bit more over the weekend and report back
in more detail.

My system is Windows XP , Athlon XP2.6, 1gb RAM.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest version from the link, but can't seem to play
any songs. 

Moose scans my music collection on a separate server okay but doesn't
actually play any of the tracks.

I have tried to log into Slimserver with both the CLI and Web UI, but
no result. Moose keeps saying that An operation was attepmted on
something that isn't a socket.

Is there some glaring mistake I'm making? Any help would be
appreciated.

Music in WMA Lossless, Windows XP Pro, Slimserver 6.1.1 running over
LAN.

Cheers,
