Re: [slim] Syncing problems with 7.3
Thanks for all the feedback. Very much appreciated. It might indeed be a constant offset that SoftSqueeze has since upgrading to 7.3. I might play with it. But I can now 'resize' SqueezePlay as well. I didn't realize there were different skins. The default when you install is 'Desktop Skin', which is about 800x600. Then I noticed Controller Skin in the Settings, and now it has a nice small interface, actually looking like the Controller. Pretty neat! Nice work.

Re: [slim] Syncing problems with 7.3
Interesting, I've just installed SqueezePlay on my work PC and it does what you say of not resizing smaller than about 800x600. The one installed on my home PC (downloaded last week) resizes much smaller. A bug perhaps? -- DoomWolf DoomWolf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56942 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Syncing problems with 7.3
I'm not sure why Softsqueeze syncing would have changed significantly from 7.2 to 7.3 but I guess the lack of inter-track resync could be relevant. If SS is a constant interval off (out of sync) you could try adjusting it with the setting under Settings / Player / player /Synchronize. The changes should take effect pretty-much immediately. But if you enable player.sync==debug logging and constantly see a message such as 'bailing bacause no play-point' or similar then the setting above will not help. -- awy awy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56942 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Syncing problems with 7.3
SoftSqueeze has never been able to synch properly with hardware players due to differences in software vs hardware playback. I would suggest giving the new SqueezePlay software a go instead of SoftSqueeze. However, I'm also having huge problems with synch between my SB3 and Controller. Whatever I try, I cannot get them to synch properly at all. The playback on the Controller is always slower than that on the SB3. If a track starts off in synch, it immediately drops slightly out and by the end of a 4 minute track, the Controller playback is around 5 seconds behind that of the SB3. This happens when playing back local MP3 files and internet radio streams. It did once attempt to resynch the two players mid-track (it even shows it in the log file), but it dropped out of synch again within a couple of seconds. I've tried restarting both players and SqueezeCenter before synchronising them. Nothing helps. Also, if I try a few tracks, I get to a point where playback on the Controller stops entirely even though the display says it's playing back (and the SB3 is still playing fine). I then have to unsynch the players for the Controller playback to work again.

Re: [slim] Syncing problems with 7.3
I know that I shouldn't expect 100% perfect sync. But it _was_ syncing perfectly before I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3. Syncing between software and hardware players has improved a lot since Slimserver became Squeezecenter. Right now I have a second or more delay which is way too much, even for 'non-perfect' syncing. -- treble treble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56942 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Syncing problems with 7.3
I installed the new SqueezeCenter the other day, and not syncing between Softsqueeze and Boom and SB3 is terrible. I was syncing perfect with 7.2 and previous versions, but now Softsqueeze is about a second or so behind. The boom and SB3 sync fine, but Softsqueeze not. Anyone else seeing the same problems? Or has any ideas why it stopped syncing? Below some debugging log entries...
