Re: [slim] Re: Briefly show now playing, song info when song is changed.

2006-07-14 Thread Michael Herger

i am curious tho, why do some have many comments, but nearly no votes?
and how many votes are needed to get attention on optional things like
these?

Because people don't vote.


Or because some people prefer fixing an open issue instead of adding new  
stuff? Sometimes those comments are used to collect data about an error,  
discuss possible solutions etc.


And you can attach patches which might add/fix something. So feel free to  
add the changes needed to implement your feature ;-)

I run my server, version 6.3.0 on a Windows XP Home edition notebook. I
wasn't aware of any kind of log used in SlimServer. I have to look into
that. The current log.txt is blank, but that would be because I haven't

[slim] Playing random songs in a decade

2006-07-14 Thread consciouspnm

Is is possible play random songs from a particular decade?

I can play random songs from a year by selecting the year and turning
on shuffle, but what I really want is to be able to, say, play random
songs from the 80's or 90's

[slim] Slimserver Software Archive?

2006-07-14 Thread cropper3

Is there an archive of older slimserver versions that I can download
v5.4.1 for windows?  If not does someone have an older version they
could email?

I'm switching servers, and 6.x does not work with my device.  Device is
a heavily modified Linksys WMA11b.  Your help would be greatly
appreciated.  I CANT go back to the stock interface of the WMA11b that
is used through the TV and a remote control.  Slimserver rules, and I
have a laptop in the living room for control, but I don't want to have
to cross compile the slimserver client software on the device to get it
working with 6.x.  It was a painful process the first time and I didn't
write down or document how I did it.  Would take a week.

Thanks in advance.

[slim] Duplicate tracks due to paths in playlist?

2006-07-14 Thread ModelCitizen

I've noticed that quite a few of my albums include duplicate tracks. I'm
pretty sure that it's only been a problem since I started installing 6.3
versions. I'm on XP Pro and run Fishbone Tan.

The reason for at least some of these instances appears to be related
to the path to the track used in the playlist. For instance, if I view
the song info for a duplicate track the path for one is listed as:

D:\A-M\10CC - Hits [1996]\01 - The Wall Street Shuffle.flac
and the other as:
\\Music\maxtorot3\A-M\10CC - Hits [1996]\01 - The Wall Street
Shuffle.flac

\\Music is my dedicated laptop. Drive D (The Maxtor OneTouch 3) is the
one with my music folder and playlist folder. Slimserver runs from my C
drive on Music.

The playlist references the track as:
..\A-M\10CC - Hits [1996]\01 - The Wall Street Shuffle.flac

i.e. it looks up to the root of D from the playlist directory and then
down to my A-M music directory.
Slimserver references my Music and Playlist directories as:

D:\SB_Shortcut  (with shortcut to music directories A-M and N-Z)
and
D:\Playlists

I'm uncertain if this is a problem with the way Slimserver handles
paths or if I should be configuring paths differently.
I'm quite surprised no one else has reported seeing this though (which
always makes me doubt myself). Any help would be most appreciated.

[slim] Re: Feature request: downloading songs from SlimServer

2006-07-14 Thread MrSinatra

very interesting.

kdf Wrote: 
 1)it's not our fault what the user does with it
 Many aplications for file sharing, claim that it is only a tool and
 that they can't be responsible for what users do with it.  Groups like
 the RIAA only see song titles and start issuing court orders.  Search
 on google already and you can get song listings from someone's
 slimserver.  Think in terms of not getting their attention at all, and
 not having to even get to teh point of arguing the finer points of
 'facilitating'.  How could such a feature be implemented in such a way
 that a user can't, say, through ignorance or a simple slip, end up with
 their entire song catalogue as a download (ie, maybe stay away from a
 simple playlist link, or at least make it not internet downloadable,
 for example)

i kinda reject this whole premise for multiple reasons, not the least
of which is that the per song DL feature is already built in, and yet,
has not brought the attention of the RIAA.

and lest we forget, the streaming feature (with or without bitrate
limiting) is never going to go away, and there are many stream
rippers that could do exactly what a normal DL would do.  someone
could loadup a playlist with anything, all albums, random, whatever,
and a stream ripper would do exactly what a straight DL would do.

i think all acknowledge that file sharing isn't the purpose of the app,
and as a p2p app, its miserable, b/c u have to use something like google
to search.

as a defense to the google search, SS could be configured to not be
open by default, assign some default pword, or randomize it per SS DL.

avoiding red flags is a good idea...  but to what degree?  is it really
necessary to avoid straight album DL links when it can be achieved song
by song, or as a stream?  i don't think the RIAA has the right to
assume criminality when there is a legitimate use.

it also depends what is shared.  lets not forget, p2p itself is not
illegal.  should we deny tools b/c some might use it illegally?

i believe in the rights of copyright holders, but i don't believe those
trump my rights to p2p or whatever else legally.  i think its
reprehensible to err on the side of killing all p2p to protect
copyrighted material, instead of erring on the rights of those to
legally p2p.

but without a built in search app, and since SS is so clearly other
things first and foremost, i don't think the RIAA could ever take
action, although they might one day eventually notice.

kdf Wrote: 
 2) Rhapsody, iTunes (should apple ever allow this party drm users)
 
 Slim devices has recently brought in a couple of high profile
 partnerships with Pandora, and Rhapsody.  The latter is very specific
 about how their api is used and what kind of access if there for their
 DRM.  Now, I realise their music is internet and it woudlnt' be
 possible to download anyway, but lets assume their executives are not
 up to speed on the inherent impossibility of downloading a complete
 song.  consideration must be given as to how to respond to their
 paranoia as well.  Consider how that could be approached.

whats interesting about this, is that in response to the insanity of
DRM, hardware is already available to defeat it.

as far as i know, DRM does not impede the RCA lyra device i mentioned
elsewhere.  in addition to that, linksys has put out this product:

http://reviews.cnet.com/Linksys_WMB54G_Wireless_G_Music_Bridge/4505-3243_7-31660626.html?tag=pop

the reason DRM doesn't work on these, is that it places the sound card
on the OTHER end of the equation...  this is just going to keep going
on, DRM is a dumb idea whose time will end as solutions defeat it.

personally, i wonder what SB will do to keep pace with these DRM
defeaters.

to more specifically answer your Q, i don't know how anyone can
successfully fully answer and meet the concerns of someone who is
unreasonable.

kdf Wrote: 
 3) Lastly, one idea off the top of my head, a feature could be available
 that uses a playlist simply to feed a list of filenames to an outside
 application for conversion or burning, rather than an actual download
 of files that creates a save as dialog box.  Something like a
 separate script, akin to the split scanner, that takes the list and
 dumps files to a pre-specified location on the same hard drive.

i don't know what the split scanner is or does, but sure, i have no
problem with whatever method to feed a burner or whatever locally.

however, i still want the ability to simply grab an album remotely
without having to go thru the unnecessarily clumsy streaming method.  

kdf Wrote: 
 This is just one idea.  I'm only suggesting consideration for a more
 complete discussion of the implementation, instead of just a chant for
 make my albums downloadable that leaves all the thought and effort to
 those at which the chanting is directed.
 
 So, instead of disputing ethics and legality, try turning it into ways
 to work around those issues, to make them not an issue. I'm sure others
 can

Thanks. I might give the latest release a whirl this weekend. Given
andyg's comments I don't suppose it will resolve my hostname issue
though. Mind you, I'm still a bit mystified as to why it used to work
for me. Scouring through my backup files (mainly looking through etc
and etc/init.d) I can't find any evidence that I was running a dns
server locally and I'm pretty sure my router cannot handle serving
local addresses, so I just don't understand why it used to work if
asyncHTTP only makes dns calls and doesn't interrogate the hosts file

I installed the beta on Ubuntu tonight and it was very easy.

1) added deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main to my
/etc/atp/sources.list file
2) did sudo apt-get install slimserver which gave a ton of dependency
errors.
3) did sudo apt-get -f install which downloaded all the dependencies
and installed slimserver.

I'm not sure why #2 and #3 required two steps and that apt didn't just
download the needed dependencies in step 3, but slimserver was up and
running so quick I didn't have time to worry about it.

I'll second this as a brilliant idea.

The only way i can think of is to fudge it so all your 80's songs have
the same year, say 1980. A bit long winded but would provide the
desired result.

How about putting a year under the Composer tag or something. can be

2006-07-14 Thread ralphy

I've run into this problem resently as well when starting squeezeslave
from the init scripts.

Turns out, in my case anyway, that the read keypress loop spins, due
to not having a true pty to read from.

Try redirecting stdin and stdout to an unused pty.
I've also redirected stderr to the pty as well.  Doing this dropped my
CPU utilization to 60% on an old P133 MMX laptop I use to pipe music
outside on the deck.

For example;

squeezeslave hostname  /dev/vc/8  /dev/vc/8 21

You can do a 'ps -fe | grep getty' to find out what your pty devices
are and pick one that's not listed.Don't use '7' as it's usually
reserved for X.

[slim] Re: Playing random songs in a decade

2006-07-14 Thread aubuti

Also remember that slimserver allows the possibility of multiple values
in tags, with the separator as specified under Server settings 
Behavior. You could create genres for 1960s, 1970s, etc. and random
play within genres. For example, if the separator is a semi-colon, you
could have Punk; 1970s.

Alternatively, tagging rules for some formats allow for multiple tags
of the same type. For FLAC  Ogg you could have Genre=Punk and
Genre=1970s for the same track.

BUT, either of these workarounds involve considerable effort in
fiddling with tags, and I really like the original suggestion of having
slim figure out how to make decade groups out of existing year tags.

Make slimserver crash as you did before. It should at least give a

2006-07-14 Thread shabbs

When I issue a full scan, the SB display initially shows Slimserver is
now rescanning your library... and then the display usually goes off
and the web interface is pretty much unusable until the scan is done
(approx 2 hours for my collection). This has always been the case for
me throughout the years with different builds and different hardware.
So, now I schedule my scans to run at night in the wee hours.

Because if you try to lookup invalid.domain.com using the system
library, you'll block the entire SlimServer for many seconds.  What we
do now is:

localhost = 127.0.0.1
single-word domain = use system library for lookup, it's probably in a
hosts file or LAN DNS server, so lookup should be fast.
normal domain - async lookup using first working nameserver
(discovered at SlimServer startup time).

Well... I decided to wait a couple of hours. When I checked back at my
system lots of info had appeared in the DOS box. So, it seems that the
rescan function just needs a lot of time to complete. In the proces
SlimServer as a user interface is shut off while slim.exe does the job
in the background. The user is pretty much left in the dark of what
actually is going on. That I think could use some improvement. Anyway,
my music library is fresh and funky now.

Yes.  That is correct.  It just stops.

I ran --d_http_async and it found no DNS servers.  I am guessing it is
because I am running this on my work network.  However, the Squeezebox
and the computer hosting SlimServer are on the same hub which should

[slim] Re: Duplicate tracks due to paths in playlist?

2006-07-14 Thread meyergru

Yup, I noticed that one, too, but with Linux.

There is a problem with 6.3.0 IMHO.

If you specify a path for the 'audiodir' setting in the server
settings, it is being replaced by the real pathname.

In my setup, I have a symlink from '//music/m' to the real path, say
'/bigdisk/m'. Since '/bigdisk/m' is exported as a Samba share
'\\music\m', I can switch back and forth with my playlists under iTunes
for Windows. The pathnames in my playlist could be
'\\music\m\Abba\Gimme.mp3' and since Slimserver changes every '\' to
'/', it comes out as '//music/m/Abba/Gimme.mp3' under my Linux
Slimserver. This works out just fine.

That is BEFORE 6.3.0. Now, '//music/m' is silently replaced by
'/bigdisk/m' and thus, the first observation was that every title is
doubled in my library (since the old pathnames are still there). You
can see this if you enter the path into the settings and restart
Slimserver afterwards. When you enter the settings page again, the
pathname has been changed.

This is a really BAD THING(tm). Slimserver should not try to be so
smart. However, I have not yet found the place where this symlink
chasing was introduced, else I would have corrected that myself.

http://reviews.cnet.com/Linksys_WMB54G_Wireless_G_Music_Bridge/4505-3243_7-31660626.html?tag=pop
the reason DRM doesn't work on these, is that it places the sound cardon the OTHER end of the equation...this is just going to keep goingon, DRM is a dumb idea whose time will end as solutions defeat it.
personally, i wonder what SB will do to keep pace with these DRMdefeaters.Out-feature them. These are generally referred to a Very Long Cable Emulators. For certain applications they're fine, but it ain't the same thing.
to more specifically answer your Q, i don't know how anyone cansuccessfully fully answer and meet the concerns of someone who is
unreasonable.kdf Wrote: 3) Lastly, one idea off the top of my head, a feature could be available that uses a playlist simply to feed a list of filenames to an outside application for conversion or burning, rather than an actual download
 of files that creates a save as dialog box.Something like a separate script, akin to the split scanner, that takes the list and dumps files to a pre-specified location on the same hard drive.
i don't know what the split scanner is or does, but sure, i have noproblem with whatever method to feed a burner or whatever locally.The split-scanner is in 6.5, it's a separate process to handle scanning. At the very least it is cool because it allows the CPU to multitask, so scanning doesn't murderize streaming and web UI... at the best, it should someday allow people with NAS devices to do the scanning on a more powerful computer.

 Any development from the slimserver team?
 

the answer to that has already been given in the thread. There are two
bug reports related to this issue.  You may find further comments
there.  There are some workarounds, and other as yet unreproduced
isses.  As such, certain unexplainable cases remain as known issues. 
If you can explain or provide more details, everyone involved will be
very interested.

In most cases, 6.5 will solve the issues, but in it's current state, it
isn't for everyone.  If you wish to try it out, you can download here:
http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.5

Please be aware that whiel the version string does report 6.5b1, this
is still considered a development build, which eventually will be
packaged as a 6.5b1 beta release. There are certainly issues that do
remain, and making a backup of what you have now would be recommended.

save the file to c:\program files\slimserver\server\Plugins
make sure the filename is as it was sent, in this case PlaylistMan.pm
restart the slimserver service.

If it was sent as an attachment, it should be ok to just do a save as.  
 You'll want to try to avoid opening and saving, since some windows

as PlaylistMan.pm.txt, it will not work.
filename must be PlaylistMan.pm.

the .pm extension indicates the the file is a Perl Module, and this is  
what the server looks for when loading plugins.


In regard to the different appearance, without elaboration on that, I  
can't really answer that.  If you restart the server after naming the  
file properly, it should appear in the server settings-plugins.  If  
not, then something has gone wrong, which might be related to what is  
causing you to see a slightly different appearance.

right click: select cut

open Windows Explorer (hopefully you are familiar with this one)
find c:\program files\slimserver\server\Plugins.

Right click on Plugins and select paste.

That should then move the file to the right place.

you could also open My Computer...go to c:\program

[slim] SB3 wireless signal strenght

2006-07-14 Thread mrisager

I just recieved my wireless SB3. It does not connect to my wireless
system as well as I was hoping for. I have an old 802.11b access point.
The SB connects with fluctuating signal strength 6-30%, and there are
many dropouts, so my flac files are more or less impossible to play.

My laptop connects at a constant 90% signal strenght when located right
next to the SB, so softsqueeze works flawlessly on flac files. 

Is the wireless connector so much worse than the one in my laptop, or
could there be something wrong in my setup? Would it make a real
difference to upgrade to a newer 802.11g system?

Suggestions appreciated.

My system:
Router: Zyxel Zyair B2000 running with MAC filtering
Slimserver: 6.5B debian nightly build

Yes.

Also, do some googling on good practices to increase your WiFi signal
strength. You can do Macgyver-type stuff (e.g., pringles can
directional antenna) as well as common-sense stuff (put your access
point in a central location, not in the basement).

K, 
I already tried that. It doesn't work. The name is PlaylistMan.pm but
it allways reverts to:

PlaylistMan.pm  
Text Document 

The name appears exactly as I've shown it, with the words Text
Document underneath the file name

[slim] Looking for version 6.3.1

2006-07-14 Thread mgscott

I decided to test the 6.3.0 build and can't get it to run.
Someone suggested that I try 6.3.1, however, when I click on the link:
# Download the 6.3.1 build, which are small, safe bugfixes since the
6.3.0 official release.

It takes me to the nightly build.  Is that the same thing  is it
stable?

You are being messed about by windows.  The extension is hidden.

Let's just delete that and start all over.

go here:
http://www.hergest.demon.co.uk/Music/slim/PlaylistManPlugin.htm#currentversion

There is a link at the bottom for Version 1.0

download that.  It will be a .zip file.  You can then Extract all files...
to c:\program files\slimserver\server\Plugins.

[slim] Re: Is there anyway to save a zapped playlist with a new title from the remote?

2006-07-14 Thread gdg

I got your plugin up and running. Is there any way to rename the
playlist from the remote or at least configure a bunch of empty
playlists that would accessable via this plugin?

[slim] Re: SB3 wireless signal strenght

2006-07-14 Thread Wirrunna

Try building a cardboard and foil antenna reflector for your router from
http://www.freeantennas.com/

I built the parabolic one in about half an hour and it turned a flaky
connection to rock solid.

[slim] Re: SlimServer shuts of on rescanning

2006-07-14 Thread Wirrunna

In the proces SlimServer as a user interface is shut off while slim.exe
does the job in the background. The user is pretty much left in the dark
of what actually is going on. That I think could use some improvement.
Anyway, my music library is fresh and funky now.

If you open your browser and type in 
http://localhost:9000/
you can see what is going on, though it will run a bit slow.

[slim] Re: m4a to wav format

2006-07-14 Thread ChrisOwens

See I have an alternate theory about what the poster is asking. :)

It looks to me like he wants to stream his m4a files in wav format, but
all he sees in Server Settings - File Types for apple formats is AIFF,
FLAC, and MP3.

So maybe the info he's looking for is this:  AIFF is a basic PCM
format, very very similar to WAV.  The Squeezebox can decode AIFF just
like it can WAV, so it shouldn't really make a difference that you
can't select WAV.

Maybe he's trying to stream to some device that only understands WAV
though.  In that case, life gets more difficult.  We may need a bit
more information about what you're trying to do!
