Why doesn't the date/time screensaver use the language settings of Slimserver and Squeezebox? Even though I have German language settings on the Linux system running slimserver and in Slimserver, these settings are not used which I would consider a bug.

In this case I think SS is doing the right thing - you can't infer the locale settings from the current SlimServer text translation setting. As an example, most of us will probably select English, but those of us in the UK wouldn't want that to map to a locale that generated US-format dates. It would be possible to move the text translation SS setting to be a more generic locale setting (possibly with a setting to say take it from the environment), but I would consider that in enhancement territory rather than a bug. -- hickinbottoms --- Stuart hickinbottoms's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=255 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19163 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You are essentially forced into a lossy format unless you want to upgrade your server. I don't understand this. In my experience, converting to a lossy format takes MORE horespower than to a lossless one. is a GREAT choice in theory, but the fact is the major players (iTunes, WMP) don't support it iTunes is the only major player I'm aware of that won't play flac. There are plugins for WMP, and Winamp/Foobar/etc all play it out of the box. Blame Apple for not supporting it and not allowing plugins to add support. The problem here is proprietary formats, but what baffles me is how people blame Slim for supporting the open ones. Apple want to tie you into iTunes/AAC, Microsoft want to tie you into WMP/WMA, Slim just want you to be able to listen to your music. As soon as these companies start (a) licensing their formats so other people can play them or (b) supporting the open standards - then we'll all be happy.

Although I understand that non-DRM AAC isn't proprietary - it is defined as part of the MPEG-4 standards.

My Sony Ericsson mobile phone plays AAC tracks as ringtones without a problem. I'm sure it is a priority call by Slimdevices - while AAC may not be a proprietary technology, I'm sure there are lots of other things that are higher priority than native AAC on the Squeezebox given there already is a workable solution based on server transcoding. -- mikerob mikerob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19155 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Native AAC Support
I don't understand this. In my experience, converting to a lossy format takes MORE horespower than to a lossless one. If your goal is to keep CPU activity to a minimum, you have to choose a path sans transcoding. Transcoding effectively eliminates many supported formats if it causes performance problems and you are left to choose from those available in the player. For a SB1, MP3 is the only real choice which led to my comment. Many of us cannot justify moving on to SB2/SB3 simply for FLAC and WAV just takes too much space. I think the long term goal should be to support all major formats (where possible) in firmware. That's just my opinion, it might not be popular and I have respect for any others but I'm honestly not sure if I will ever upgrade without wider native support. Let the user choose the best flavor for their situation without the worry about burdening the server. iTunes is the only major player I'm aware of that won't play flac. There are plugins for WMP, and Winamp/Foobar/etc all play it out of the box. Well, I'm not much of an iTunes fan and my lossless format of choice right now is WMA. I wasn't aware that Microsoft had a FLAC plugin for WMP so I will have to look for that. I do realize there are other players available but I suppose I was referring to the majors as those available for free that have the highest install base. I assume iTunes for Mac and WMP for Windows are the major players, but I most definately could be wrong. The problem here is proprietary formats, but what baffles me is how people blame Slim for supporting the open ones. You misunderstand my position. I applaud Slim for supporting FLAC and would like nothing more than to see MS/Apple do the same. I don't blame Slim for not supporting proprietary formats if doing so is impossible. I don't know enough about the process to know if it's a choice not taken or a choice not available. As an average user, I rarely look further than what is installed by default and for free. I don't think I'm unusual in that regard and the formats supported by the major applications are the ones that naturally have the highest usage. For the average user who wants lossless, the choice is WMA or M4P. This isn't a rip on Slim or FLAC it's just a fact of life. -- bishopdonmiguel bishopdonmiguel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19155 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I picked up and brought home the replacement unit yesterday, plugged it in, configured the settings, and everything just worked.

I mean, of course I can patch the start script.

If the suggested we pages work, that's fine. If not, Google for 'mplayer' and 'OS X' and you'll find them. One things to watch out for is that there are two flavours of mplayer for OS X.

[slim] Re: Native AAC Support
samlw, Your situation is not typical at all - nearly everyone using AAC is on Mac/Windows (or a linux machine capable of running faad), in which case it simply works. I'm not sure why you keep pushing the SoundBridge button - we are well aware that porting codecs is possible, but I think you underestimate the cost of implementing and licensing codecs for an embedded system. As we've said, the benefits are relatively miniscule in the case of AAC, given that it already works just fine on any of our supported platforms. That's not to say it won't happen - just that it's not a high priority. BTW if you ever need to use ANY lossless format (Flac, Apple, WMA) or any non-mainstream/emerging format, you will be very glad you chose Squeezebox. :) We do appreciate the feedback though, and client-side AAC is understood as a desirable feature.

It will take you to a page to register a username. Once that's done, add a single row in the appropriate table, just like the others, but with your data.

There's an Edit link at the bottom of the page. It will first say it doesn't allow anonymous editing and will provide a link to give yourself a user name and set preferences. --- flatspyder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks guys.

samlw Wrote: While a fully lossless format (ALAC) that is natively supported by both iTunes and Squeezebox would be ideal, I would be happy with high bit-rate AAC if it were natively supported in firmware. The Roku SoundBridge does this, so it is clearly possible. The SoundBridge doesn't support Apple Lossless -- nobody does, because it's part and parcel of Apple's hyper-proprietary world. And while the SoundBridge does support AAC, what's the benefit of AAC for you? If high-bitrate lossy is acceptable, just use MP3 and get universal compatibility. -- mkozlows mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19155 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Screen pixellated, SB3 reset itself, now can't reconnect
Has anyone seen and recovered from this? My SB3 was having streaming problems - the SlimServer moved further away and I was getting drop outs. Suddenly, the screen pixellated with random dots, froze in that pattern, and then after 2-3 minutes, the box reset. Now, I can no longer connect to my wifi network. I was having problems sometimes getting IP addresses assigned, now it won't connect after I enter my WEP password (I had not had the WEP problem before, only the lose the IP address problem). Anyone else had an issue like that? And more importantly, has anyone recovered from it?

Have you tried a reset? Press and hold ADD on the remote as you power-cycle it (unplug, replug power). --- stoobie-doo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone seen and recovered from this?

[slim] wmadec.exe
I just installed the SlimServer software. Each time I try to play a song a window pops up with C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\wmadec.exe in the header. I am not able to close the window. My first thought was that the file wmadec.exe was missing. However, it is in the location described above. Why is this happening? How do I stop the window from popping up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[slim] seeking and fast forward/rewind
Now that I've been using my SliMP3 for podcasts I've noticed a very serious shortcoming in the interface. Fast forward and rewind are absolutely painful to use when scanning through a 40 minute broadcast. Even worse is if I mean to hit rewind and end up seeking all the way back. The fast winding needs to be faster, and a way to directly jump to a time marker via the web UI would also help out a lot. -- Paul Forgey Paul Forgey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19193 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It took me a long time to figure out that the text size had to be small for the buffer fullness to also desplay! %| The buffer does empty during the cpu spikes.

Paul, Check out the Scanner plugin, it makes Fast Forward/Rewind much more tolerable. -- Mike Paul Forgey wrote: Now that I've been using my SliMP3 for podcasts I've noticed a very serious shortcoming in the interface.
