[slim] Last.fm not appearing in Slimserver
I've been struggling for ages to try and get last.fm playing through my squeezebox. I understand that if I go through Slimserver Server settings / Internet Radio, Last.fm should appear as one of the default listings? It doesn't for me. I have 6 items listed there, Live Music Archive first, to Slim Picks last. I've downloaded the latest last.fm and slimscrobbler plugins. help? -- lizhs lizhs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14774 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41700 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] .m4a Playback Issue?
Regardless of the mp3 line - I've just realised that there were changes in Slimserver Squeezecenter since April which means mplayer will no longer work playing files and you will have to use faad2 instead. I don't have the changes to convert.conf for faad2 on hand. To revert I think the link below will download a clean convert.conf from the source repository. http://svn.slimdevices.com/*checkout*/trunk/server/convert.conf?rev=14363 -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41673 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] .m4a Playback Issue?
I don't have a Windows Slimserver running at the moment so this is what I expect but not tested. To use faad2 instead of mplayer. 1. Download a Windows version for faad2 ( probably from here http://www.rarewares.org/aac-decoders.php ) and copy into same sub-directory of your Squeezecenter Bin directory as mplayer.exe 2. Change the mov123 lines for mp3 and flc as follows (taken from wiki AAC entry). You can add the mov wav lines as well. If the executable in installed in step 1 is called faad2.exe then change the faad to faad2. Code: # Transcoding for AAC files. mov flc * * [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 --endian little --sign signed --channels 2 --bps 16 --sample-rate 44100 - mov mp3 * * [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [lame] --resample 44100 --silent -q $QUALITY$ -b $BITRATE$ -x -r - - mov wav * * [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41673 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Oops :) No, that's not my view at all. I'd be kind of a hypocrite if it were! Taken to a logical extreme my view would allow an artist/publisher to specify that restriction if they wanted to but I think copyright law actually puts some useful restrictions on what can be required - e.g. by allowing things like format and time shifting. I'm happy to pay for a license to listen to music, but I do object to having to pay for 5 licenses :) Likewise I don't think that a ringtone is a seperate copyrightable work given that it's basically just a 30 second sample of the original recording, but AFAIK that one's yet to be tested.

Re: [slim] Access Slimserver from work
Well, if you have iTunes on your PC then it is possible to stream music from home, it just can't be done securely. You can establish a dyndns account on the Mac at home so that you have an internet ip address for your home machine. Then set up your router so that ports 3483 and 9000 are forwarded to your Mac's local LAN address. Then on your work machine, in the iTunes menu, go to Advanced | Open Stream and enter the following: http://your_dyndns_address:9000/stream.mp3 Then in your web browser enter the address: http://your_dyndns_address:9000 This should load SqueezeCenter and show your library as at home. In the drop down list of players in the top right side you will see a referecne to the iTunes player (although it won't be called iTunes). Select this and then set it playing some music from your library and it should come out via iTunes. I'm not at my machine now and in any case use ssh so the details are slightly different so I can't absolutely guarantee that the above will work for you. Please be aware however that by doing this you will be opening up your machine and particularly your SqueezeCenter to all and sundry.

Re: [slim] Is it time to retire my Squeezebox?
I have a SB1 also, as well as a couple of SB2's and a TP. Even though the SB1 is the only one of the 4 boxes which is actually wired to the router - the others are all wireless - it is the only one that has dropouts. I put this down to a combination of running an all-flac library and the small size of the buffer in the SB1. My cure has been to implement bitrate limiting for this player to 192 kbps and that seems to have done the trick. The newer boxes have an upsized buffer and, as I said, I can stream full strength flac to them all with no dropouts, so a new SB3 would no doubt solve your problem - assuming it is not some other network issue such as a neighbour's new wifi router on the same channel, or a microwave oven or cordless phone somewhere nearby causing interference. You could try the bitrate limiting trick on your SB1 to see if that fixes it. davep -- davep davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41669 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Is it time to retire my Squeezebox?
Some more data points might be needed: - try wiring your player - if the dropouts continue, then it's not a WLAN problem. If they go away, it is. - when you encounter drop outs, is there some other background activity going on on your server? - what's the machine's general memory and CPU load? - are you using any 3rd party plugins?

Re: [slim] Scanner.exe Keeps Stopping?
So I enabled the artwork debuging in the gUI and ran a scan, looks like some usefull output maybe! I cant tell if its bombing out on Danity Kane (God why did it have to bomb on that album!) or trying to access the next one.. any ideas? The art in the DK folder and the next folder appears normal. The DK art is 360x360,43.6KB and the next folder in line is Darren Hayes with a 300x300,17.8KB image. I noticed in the view scan details the last album it shows is the 13 Tales From Urban Bohemia 500x500,68.8KB image. WHat I started doing was replacing the art in the folder it stopped on there and that seemed to get it to the next error. But according to this log it looks like it parsed it fine, so maybe it was a delayed thing.

Higher buffer fullness is better. Note the buffer is only filled while the player is playing tracks. Squeezebox1 uses a small buffer and it is expected to stay full while playing. If this value drops to 0 it will result in audio dropouts. This is likely to be due to network problems. Squeezebox2/3 uses a large buffer. This drains to 0 at the end of each track and then refills for the next track. You should only be concerned if the buffer fill is not high for the majority of the time a track is playing. Playing remote streams can lead to low buffer fill as the player needs to wait for data from the remote server.

Re: [slim] How do I get podcasts out of my squeezebox library?
If the podcasts are tagged, you can use the custom browse plugin to create menus which exclude that genre. Also, iTunes does let you keep your music outside of the iTunes folder, so you could move all the music out and just leave the podcasts in there. That will only work if you just point slimserver at the directory and let it scan. If you use iTunes integration it will find the podcasts wherever they are :) -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41021 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] End of the Squeezebox?
What is different about what a musician does that makes it worth more money than what a 3rd grade teacher does? Or a plumber? Or what I do? Musicians at at the mercy of supply and demand like any other commodity. For a few years record companies were able to control the supply and the price/pay of popular artists went up. Technology has taken that control away and the price has fallen to nearly zero, especially for popular artists, simply because they are popular and their stuff is all over file sharing networks. On the other hand, unknown musicians can now sell some of their stuff because they don't need a record company to distribute it, and their relative obscurity makes obtaining their work via file sharing harder to do. So maybe the model now is for unknown artists to launch their careers by selling some CDs and doing live performances, and when they become popular, give away their music to promote concert ticket sales. And tee shirts. And coffee mugs. And ring tones. And their acting careers. And their fashion businesses.

Re: [slim] Is it time to retire my Squeezebox?
For what it's worth, I used to have dropouts on my SB1 (wired with FLAC), but I've never had them on my SB3 (wireless, also with FLAC). Now I don't have them on either. I made several changes to eliminate the dropouts, though. My SB1 was plugged into a gigabit switch when it was experiencing the dropouts. Now it's plugged into a 10/100 switch. I also moved my server to more powerful hardware and switched from Windows to Linux. Finally, and more recently, I moved to SC 7.0, which I've found to be a big improvement over 6.5.x. Since you still see your problem even with a wired network, then bitrate limiting for the purpose of reducing network bandwidth shouldn't matter, since the wired connection should have solved that. However, I suppose it's possible that the higher quality mp3 files were overrunning the SB1's buffer. It may be worthwhile to try and narrow down exactly why you are seeing the dropouts before getting the SB3. But that having been said, I would be very surprised if the SB3 experienced dropouts. The downside to just going to the SB3 is that you may still have some problem that your SB3 is just masking.

Even though the SB1 is the only one of the 4 boxes which is actually wired to the router - the others are all wireless - it is the only one that has dropouts. I put this down to a combination of running an all-flac library and the small size of the buffer in the SB1. My cure has been to implement bitrate limiting for this player to 192 kbps and that seems to have done the trick. The newer boxes have an upsized buffer and, as I said, I can stream full strength flac to them all with no dropouts, so a new SB3 would no doubt solve your problem - assuming it is not some other network issue such as a neighbour's new wifi router on the same channel, or a microwave oven or cordless phone somewhere nearby causing interference. You could try the bitrate limiting trick on your SB1 to see if that fixes it. davep Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. I'll try the bitrate limiting, all of my files are 320 vbr mp3's so that's a good thought. I forget sometimes about the player settings you can tweak.

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
Thanks for this great utility. I love it. I have found one thing though that may need to be looked into. I am describing it here for others to try and see if they come up with the same issue. Background: 1) two computer running windows XP SP2 latest updates 2) computer one runs SS 6.5 latest release, computer two runs SC7 Latest nightly 3) same issue shows up on both systems using same set of mp3 files 4) file layout is MP3\letter\artist\album (e:\mp3\B\Boston\Don't Look Back) Test procedure: 1. run SS 6.5 and SC7 clear and rescan on same data files set. (Both computers are linked to same NAS). 2. run Album Catalog Creator 3. select only one artist by using start folder option. (E:\A\Alice in Chains). I know that there are 5 albums with a total of 57 tracks in this folder. 4. Press start after 15 seconds two windows pop open as follows: First window: (dialog box) Album Catalog Creator is finished - states the following: Total number of tracks processed: 57 total number of albums processed: 3 Second window: (IE Window) Display shows 4 albums with 42 tracks 5. last album in alphabetical order is not shown. I have tried this on many different artists folders and on both computers. I even went as far as changing the name of one of the albums (in the mp3 tags) to force it to show up before some of the others alphabetically and it is always the last album alphabetically that does not show up. Has any one else seen this issue. P.S. it also happened when i did a full Album Catalog Creation on my full MP3 set of files (58281 tracks by 3481 artists and 7957 albums). By the way when i printed the list to a PDF file it come up with 889 pages when displaying album art and track titles and 140 pages when done as a short list without covers or track titles. Other that this one issue i have not found any other problems with the operation of this utility. It works great.

[slim] SB3 Cutting Out While Playing Apple Lossless Files
All of a sudden, my SB3 cuts out while playing m4a files. Everything was fine a few days ago. Here is my set up: Player: SB3, ethernet connection. Server: Mac Mini, Intel Duo Core, 2 Ghz, 2 Gig Ram, connected via WiFi (connection appears to be very fast, no issues with intenet). CPU monitors show little to no load on the system. No significant software running on the server. Problem started on Slim Server 6.5.4, so I upgraded to Squeeze Center, and upgraded the player. No change. I have rebooted several times, but to no avail. MP3 files play fine, and FLAC files play fine from a Windows server (ethernet connection). To my knowledge, nothing has changed on the Mac Mini since betwen the SB3 working fine, and the SB3 not playing m4a files.

[slim] Slimserver access from work using SSH
Cheers, I am trying to access my slimserver from work (using Softsqueeze). 1) I run XP on both my server (at home) and my workstation (at work). (However, all my testing so far has been from another local PC (at home) instead of the work PC by using my external IP address) 2) I have installed and tried both FreeSSHd (http://www.freesshd.com/) and OpenSSH on my XP server (at home) to get SSH access. Only running one at a time of course... 3) I configured my router to port forward port 22 (SSH port) to my XP servers local IP (192.168.0.3). 4) I opened port 22 in the XP server firewall (at home). 5) I started a putty SSH session from another machine (at home) to test if it was working. In the Putty session I entered my external IP (checked using Whats my IP as well as in the router): 83.bla.bla.bla. 6) All seems to work since a terminal prompt appears asking for a login and password. Some info about cryptation keys was swiftly accepted...without knowing what they do... 7) I login with my XP admin account and password and it was accepted. Looking goodso far... 8) I started Softsqueeze (on another home machine) and tried to use the included SSH client (configred to connect to 83.bla.bla.bla) with some success. After several minutes I get a connection to Slimserver. It seems to work, I thought... Now lets play some music... 9) The performance is extremely slow. So slow that I am not getting any music at all (!) and navigating the menus from the Softsqueeze remote is extremely sluggish (VERY!). After a while the connection seemed to drop off completely. I shut down and tried option 2: Putty tunnels 10) Set up SSH tunnels using Putty. In a new Putty session I configured a local port 9000 to be forwarded to a remote port of 192.168.0.3:9000 (the LOCAL IP on my XP server). Did the same for the 3483 port. 11) Using the same session as above logged in to 83.bla.bla.bla (external IP). 12) Got a login/password prompt and logged in. Seems to work once again... 13) Started Softsqueeze and unchecked the SSH box and instead used a server of localhost:9000. 14) Got a connection from softsqueeze to Slimserver that worked (yay!) but was as slow as before (doh!): a few bits/s. Unusable. 15) My ISP up speed is about 1Mbit which should be plenty when Slimserver is set up to use bandwitdh limits using Lame transcode. 16 ) When I skip the SSH part and make a local connection directly to 192.168.0.3 from another home PC all works fine, including the bandwith limit and Lame transcode. 17) I have not yet tried to do this from work since I gathered that it must first work at home (but going from my local home PC to the Slimserver PC by Putty SSH and the router external IP. I have either done something wrong or there are some ISP limitations going on? Any comments?
