Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
Found it! Disabling FLAC and forcing the Server to decode to WAV results in FLAC level -8 playing just fine with minimal PC CPU overhead (2-3% on my machine). So two solutions to this: 1. Encode hi-res files to level -0 or 2. Use your server to convert FLAC to WAV and stream WAV to the Touch -- glenw glenw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37423 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I don't think the question is what you think the curve should be, it's which players you'd like this on. :-) Erland is trying to ensure he reports the correct/actual gain level for each player. Erland, since each SqueezePlay player can control other Squeezeboxes, I think you should understand each player's curve. Ideally there would also be an API for getting non-standard curves. E.G. one of my SB3 players has a fixed output but thanks to my DenonSerial plugin, its 0 to 100 SB volume maps to a -80 to 0 dB gain (my amp can go up to +18 dB but I opted for a quieter top end and more granularity). In the SBS plugin world, I use a modified MusicInfoScr that adds an API hook to let DenonSerial report the gain level for players rather than always have MIS assume the standard gain curve (I also tought MIS the Boom curve and made alternate volume display work on Boom). It would be nice if an SP player could accurately report amp gain either for itself or a remotely controlled Squeezebox. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77161 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Sales or discounts?
I think we have to remember a few things: - The old Slim Devices would probably not be able to produce both the Radio and Touch, my guess is that the delays would have caused them to go bankrupt. Logitech's economical strength has probably saved the Squeezebox product family. - The people reading this thread is not the people that should read this critique. This forum is read by Logitech developers and test personal who have done everything very well. The management, sales and support people who you guys are criticizing are probably not even reading this forum. So all you do is creating extra frustration among community members and the few Logitech's resources that all have done their job very well. I feel that its right to critique Logitech when they aren't doing their job but we might need to think about who is reading the critique. If you like the critique to have some effect, it's probably better to call your Logitech sales or support representative and tell them what you think. I do agree that it's painfully obvious that the Logitech organization isn't used to launching popular products which people is willing to pre-order before they have reached the market. It's also painfully obvious that they aren't used to handle release delays, which are quite common in software focused projects but a bit less common in hardware focused projects as most other Logitech products. Logitech is probably more used to releasing products which you decide to buy when you see them in the store. Still, we have to give Logitech some credit, they have actually succeeded in producing the top audio streaming devices on the market. Both the Touch and Radio have so much potential and we have only seen the top of the ice berg so far. Just wait until the third party community realizes that they are small silent completely open Linux machines with great audio circuits which you basically can hack to do whatever you like. For everyone that's still waiting for your Touch, I feel your pain, but as already mentioned it's both worth the wait and every dollar you have to spend to get it.

Buy it from us because it sounds better, without something to back the claim up, which I don't see. Just sounds like marketing talk to me. Phil makes a good point, if it is illegal, why isn't Sony, the feds and everybody else coming down on the manufacturers of these illegal devices? iTrax is also a recording company http://www.aixrecords.com/ So they do thier own records, most of iTrax releases are AIX records. And thir mo IS recording new original material in 24/96 or 24/192 . They embraced DVD-A when thats was the latest thing and have afaik probably done most real HD Records of any label. They have excellent 5.1 24/96 DVD-A discs. Note that you can actually get 5.1 24/96 files from iTrax , but the total lack of such network players makes a very small market. Most of the big labels have mostly re released some old stuff of undetermined pedigree. But you can sell that to, there is also an audiophile myth that there is something to get from any old analog tape that's been destroyed by CD. Most recordings ever made have such SQ that 16/44.1 is sufficient. You don't need a 5 gallon barrel to hold 1 gallon of content so use 24/192 for such things is a waste. However there are some nicely done remixes/remasters that takes the old 24 track and does a new final mix and master and also a 5.1 version. Talking Heads Brick Box is a good example, this is some kind of renovation of the music if carefully done this can be great.

It's also painfully obvious that they aren't used to handle release delays, which are quite common in software focused projects but a bit less common in hardware focused projects as most other Logitech products. Logitech is probably more used to releasing products which you decide to buy when you see them in the store Agreed, and with much of the Logitech product line it's not a big deal if the -exact- item you want is out of stock. Buy a different keyboard, mouse, or speakers... The SB line has no real replacement: it's not something you could easily get for roughly the same price from some other vendor, and a given SB model may suit your usage far far better than any other Sb model. (A Radio or Boom is no replacement for a receiver.. and for many a Duet is a better match for their needs than a touch.) That complicates their inventory a bunch since running out of stock of a given SKU does contribute to lost sales, which the keyboard and mice people don't have to worry about nearly as much.

I've completed my customer satisfaction survey, and don't expect to hear anything back from Logitech, but you've got to admit, placing new customers at the head of the line for shipping AND giving them a substantial discount, while older orders are still outstanding is pretty poor customer service.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch in sleep mode and USB HDD
What are you expecting the power button to do? It doesn't actually shut off the power, it stops the player if its playing any music and it invokes the stopped screensaver, thats pretty much it. It doesn't actually turn off the electricity to anything. It needs most of the system up and running in order to determine that you actually touched the screen to turn it back on. If it actually turned the power off to the electronics inside it would have no way to turn itself back on again. If what you are after is to have the Touch tell the USB drive to spin down when you touch the power button, thats probably theoretically possible but has not been implemented yet.

Does it send PCM to the touch or does it send FLAC, and if FLAC what encoding does it use? If its using PCM or low level compression FLAC to send the downsampled stream to the Touch I don't think the compression used on the 24/192 file makes any difference.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/192
This issue wasnt even known until a few days ago when it was revealed that modified machines and not published specs machines were being used to extract DSD data from an SACD. Apparently there are one or two boutique companies who are making these machines (with some employee links between the companies) and one studio doing the work. Its low profile. And the previous various contradictory and inconsistent explanations as to the method and workflow involved in extracting the data can be interpreted as: 1. A deliberate attempt at obfuscation because of a conscious knowledge of these issues. 2. Unawareness or misunderstanding by those involved as to these issues. 3. A desire to protect a trade secret as to the method of extraction. Of course whatever the reason, all these possibilities just further reinforce the need for full disclosure to the consumer as to the source of a music download and the method for its preparation. All we can do is ask questions. -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Something like:

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Volume readout in dB?
peterw;534906 Wrote: Currently it's just an internal Perl API, but I'd be happy to add a CLI/JSON API. Perhaps you could subscribe to something like 'ampgain' notifications, and receive player-specific notifications when the gain changes, with tagged data like dbgain:-20.5 and mute:0 for -20.5 dB gain, not muted? Thinking about this a bit more, this seems like an awfully chatty/heavy approach. For MIS, the internal Perl API basically allows DenonSerial to say, oh, you want a dB gain value for volume 50 for the family room player? I control that, and its range is -80 to 0, so let's call that -40 dB. Simple math. Seems heavy to rely on Comet/HTTP/JSON to tell an applet that 50/100 = -40 dB. It'd be easier to either have CLI for delivering a 100-member array of ampgain values for those few players that have external amp volume control (and doing so only once per player). I don't know what a 101-item Lua array of signed decimal/float values costs in terms of RAM, but I would think using a lookup table on your side would be more efficient responsive than using CLI.

[SlimDevices: Touch] standalone Touch access to iTunes playlists ??
With the Touch running in standalone mode ( w the music library on an attached USB drive, accessed via TinySC ) is it capable of also finding and using iTunes playlists, if the iTunes music library XML files are also put / copied onto the USB drive? How is the Touch in standalone mode, set to point to the iTunes music library files, etc. ? Is the scanning of the iTunes music files ( for the iTunes playlists, album artwork, and unchecked songs ) a normal part of the music library scanning that's performed by the Touch that is running in standalone mode? This question had previously been posted on the forum, with no answer given. I'm a longtime SB3 customer, and long loved the ability to easily build my playlists using iTunes, which can then later be used on the Squeezebox. I'm really looking forward to getting the Touch, for all its many great new features, especially for its ability to run in standalone mode and thus removing the need to have a PC always running to listen to tunes from the Squeezebox and hopefully still be able to see and use the iTunes playlists !

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] touch 7.5
You could try the following: 1. Make a backup copy of your prefs directory. That will include server.prefs, plus any prefs settings for plugins. 1a (optional). Make a list of all of your settings. A semi-convenient way to do this is by taking screenshots of the SBS settings pages with your existing settings. 2. Install the new Squeezebox Server. If you are coming from 7.3.3 it probably will overwrite your preferences. (It shouldn't do that if you are coming from 7.4.2, but then a lot of people had their 7.3.3 overwritten by 7.4.2, so you're neither ahead of the game or behind.) 3. Check to see if your preferences were overwritten. If not, then you're done. 4. If your settings were overwritten, stop SBS. This is important. Then overwrite the new prefs files with your the backup you made in Step 1. 5. Restart SBS and see if your settings are familiar. If so, you're done. 6. If your old settings aren't restored, then you'll have to reset them manually. This could be easier if you did the optional step 1a above. Note that if steps 1-5 seem to be too much trouble, you can always do only steps 2, 3, and 6 instead ;o) One other important change to note is that in 7.3.3 the program was called squeezecenter and ran under the username 'squeezecenter'. In 7.4.x and 7.5.x it is called squeezeboxserver and runs under the username 'squeezeboxserver'. I expect that sstos will take care of these things for you, but thought I'd give a heads up just in case. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77310 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Yeah, it certainly makes you wonder what the reaction is going to be when the Touch G2 is announced in January at CES 2011. ;) -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77298 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch hits Slickdeals - 225$ from Logitech if honored
$225 USD really makes the $379 we canucks have to pay seem more painful. Oh wait, it's not released in canada... probably won't ever be. Considering the dollar is about equal right now, I'm not sure I want to pad Logitech's pockets with the extra $154. -- crazyj crazyj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77298 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

The main parameters in the upper part: - name: The unique name of the style - models: The Squeezebox model the style is for, I'd recommend only checking one - background(optional): The background image to use, typically an url to a png image - backgrounddynamic: Indicates if background should be re-read at regular intervals - backgroundtype(optional): Background color to use, typically only used unless no background has been specified - clockposx(optional): Not used anymore, leave empty - clockposy(optional): Not used anymore, leave empty In the lower part you define all text or image items that should be displayed, you can look at one of the predefined styles if you like a sample. When adding a new item on the lower part, you might need to: 1. Select New item... 2. Click Apply 3. Specify the itemtype parameter 4. Click Apply After 4, the rest of the item parameters will be adjusted to those applicable to the itemtype you have selected. Many items have parameters like: - posx: X coordinate of item - poxy: Y coordinate of item - text: Text to display in text item, might also be a time format (for timetext items) or a title format (for track*text items) - url: The url to the png image to use in image items - color(optional): The text color to use for text items - order(optional): Drawing order, higher number will be drawn on top of lower number, often you can leve this blank Hopefully this will get you started. You can look at the predefined styles if you want some samples and there are also a number of more advanced styles which can be imported on this wiki page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Custom_Clock_styles You import by selecting Style:Import... and pasting the text from the text files linked from the above wiki page. If you have made something and don't get it to work, you can just click the Export button to export the style to a text file and then post it in the forum so someone can help you.

You can't order it from Amazon or another online US retailer when it becomes available? Give it a month or two and the street price will probably be under $250 USD anyway. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77298 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
