[slim] Re: MUSICIP Mix method
Try browsing by artist or album rather than by music folder. The latter is just a straightforward browse of the directory structure and does not make use of the tags or any other cleverness associated with the tracks. When you go to an artist, album or track in the normal Browse method then you will see the small m symbol and can use your selection to seed a mix. Just press and hold the 'Play' button on the remote and you should see the mix being created.

[slim] Re: What happened to Artist on display?
Okey good. Lets hope they are interested in fixing this tag bug, but I dought it. In my opinion these kind of companies (Slim Devices, Roku Labs, Cowon, iRiver) are not serious from a customer perspective. They seem to launch prototypes rather than products all the time. And yes these bugs can be fixed afterwards in fw upgrades. The ambition is good, but before you know it the vendors are focsuing on new products and the old ones are forgotten and left out in the cold. I would say that it is only major bugs that that will be fixed and in this world it means mp3 related ones, forget about the other formats. For example, in the SB 3 owner's guide it says that fast forward and rewind is supported. To this day these functions are still not working with wma files, but with mp3 files they do. It doesn't say that there are restrictions to these funcions when using the supported flac, wav, aac, ogg or wma formats.

Your ideas are all great, keep more comming. Some comments regarding some of the already posted ideas: BERNT - Your idea to sort albums by year when an artist already has been selected in the parent menu seems logical, I will change this. GUSI - Searching is out of scope for the Custom Browse plugin at the moment. DR LOVEGROVE - Releated information is currently not in the slimserver database which also makes your idea out of the scope at the moment, a great idea though if the relation information could be retreived from some web site. MARC SHERMAN - Defining menus for different genre combinations should definitely be possible with Custom Browse. I will just have to think about it a bit to see if there is a way to make the menus easy to configure. Today you will have to hard code the genre names in the *.cb.xml files which makes it a bit hard. It might be possible to have some sort of template based solution similar to what I have in the SQLPlayList plugin. RADISH - Your albums menu with separated compilations and artist albums should be quite simple, I'll try to include it in next release. JJZOLX - The Years menu sorted in descending order seems logical. - Regarding the Albums within the Years menu that is sorted by artist, its definitely possible. I'm not sure however that I want to make this the default though, it seems logical in one way but I think I would like it to display both the album and artist if this should be the default. I think I have to experiment a litte with it to see how it looks like. - The Genres menu as I see it is just a more shallow menu since the artist is not a menu level instead the albums are sorted by artist. I think this could be included as a sample. - Regarding the editing of XML files I have been thinking about a web UI, but haven't found a good solution that makes it both easy to use and not so hard to develop. At the moment I am thinking that it might be a good idea to be able to generate the xml files base on a number of selections and then edit them manually, similar to the way SQLPlayList works. - Adding the menus to the Home is probably possible, I will add this to the wishlist. - Someone else has to take the decision if this should be a core part of slimserver or not, at the moment I think its best as a plugin since it isn't very user friendly and the code inside is quite different from the code in the standard slimserver. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Pat, Nice idea. I just had a look at your home page and saw all the tools you have developed. For flac files you can use multiple artist comments according to the slimwiki. I am not sure if it is still valid for 6.5. I understand that the mySQL database is new in 6.5 but I haven't had a good look at the slimserver internals yet. Also had a quick look at amazon. Alas no performer info. That would have been nice as the album art retrieval is almost manual as well. Perhaps it is possible to retrieve it from sites like Verve, Blue Note etc. For Jazz there are less than 10 labels that would cover 80% of most peoples collections. It would force me to organize the cd collection if I had to get them all out to manually enter all the artist data. -- gusi gusi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3801 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If I remember correct it does it with a single SQL which also means it will be possible to use a similar SQL in the Custom Browse menu definition.

At OneBigCd, we found things like albums with the same UPC code (and name and artist) that had radically different CDDB hash values, sometimes they had different numbers of tracks, lots of times they had differing track lengths. And it is pretty hard to calculate the CDDB hash once the files are in FLAC or MP3 or other format (I think you can do it if they are still PCM files, but who wants to keep them).

For the record, and after numerous installs / upgrades, I now expect difficulties to some degree. To soften the potential devastation to my precious music playlists I've compiled a reinstall pack. This pack, although personal to me, includes all the prerequisite settings such as: Playlists location; Plugins (beware of any reinstalling any redundant plugin when changing versions); lame encoder; mplayer.exe (although not essential since AlienBBC now includes this for v6.5) backup of all playlists; plugin logins / passwords; player formatting This list is by no means exhaustive but it may help others to know that this generally serves me well. I intend to compile a definitive list of necessary files settings soon post in the forums. Good idea? The most common filepath which I tend to forget is that to my iTunes music playlists. A fresh reinstall usually points to C:\Documents and Settings\ADMINISTRATOR\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\.

[slim] Streaming on 6.5 - having issues with breaking between songs
I primarily run Slimserver to stream my collection to myself at work (though I love my Squeezebox, it sits at home and waits for me all day long for the most part). I'm running my server on Windows XP. I recently wiped 6.3.1 and installed 6.5 - I've been very happy with the interface changes (I use the fishbone skin), but have found what I think is a change of behavior that is really causing me some angst... When listening to my stream (e.g., as http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3), the beginning of every song (up to a few seconds) is being cut off. I believe I've tracked it down to a breaking of the stream between songs - since I have my media players (tried on foobar2k and windows Media Player) set to repeat the playlist, what's happening is that the buffer is running out, and the track (stream) is restarting... dropping all the audio from the beginning of the track. Reading that back, I think I may be confused... but I know that I didn't ever have this problem with 6.3.1, so I think something is different. Am I nuts? Is anyone else having this issue?

My question to you and others is, how many of the preset-points on the skin do you typically use? When I'm controlling the volume on my SB directly (without the skin), I find myself using mute and then a range of values within my normal listening volume, e.g. from below-normal to above-normal, but nothing between mute and my below-normal setting. If my usage is typical, I'm wondering if your skin could provide much finer volume adjustments at the upper end of its scale, for example between 3 or 4 and 10. This would enable one to set one's ampliflier to a normal volume level, and use the skin to adjust it from there for different songs/moods/etc (in addition to mute and maybe a couple of other settings such as very soft, soft, and very loud). What I find now is that the volume adjustments on the skin are too large for me to use to my liking, and I would often prefer listening to a song a little louder or softer but need to change the volume either directly on my SB or stereo to do so.

[slim] Jumbled album tracks in 6.5
Hi, Downloaded and installed 6.5 today as a full replacement for 6.3.1 (zipped deleted), where everything had been working well (Win2003 SP1 server). I've looked back through recent postings and can't see some of my issues listed anywhere, so here goes: - I've rescanned my albums and I have a number of issues with the browse features (at least via the web interface (Fishbone), not tested fully via SB2). I select an album by clicking on its name in the browse list and it shows the tracks, but always not in track order. Most tracks usually in the right order with many displaced. The Beatles - '1' shows 27 then 1 -26 (although it sometimes shows as a smaller collection of other albums intead). Blur - '13' shows all tracks in the correct order, Eric Clapton - '461 Ocean Boulevard' the tracks are all over the place. I've rescanned (clear scan) several times and can't get this to come right. In the albums list many albums are shown more that once - mostly multi-disc sets, but sometimes single albums. There are tracks missing from one version that appear in the other version, as if merging the two would make the complete album. One 3 disc album has 6 entries in the album list. These are set in the tags as Disc 1 of 3, etc. My collection is mainly MP3Pro, but I've started to convert from CD to FLAC as well. These go into H:\Music.flac\Artist\Album, whereas the MP3s go into H:\Artist\Album. I used to be able to browse the FLAC music, but now I can't - it tries to interpret the Music.flac folder as a FLAC file and won't open it further. I can probably get round this by renaming the folder, but I didn't have to before. -- GrahameP GrahameP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27936 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Is 6.5 ready for non techies?
I went to the 6.5 download page http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html and saw nothing that mentions removing 6.3 completely before loading 6.5, which to me, speaks volumes in answer to the OP's question. The web site says nothing about removing 6.3, which, if it does, it is hidden pretty well from this non-techie and yet all the techies (and I mean that in the most affectionate manner) insist 6.3 must be removed before loading 6.5. I just loaded 6.5 over the top of 6.3 because I'm a non-techie and it seems to be working fine. So is it ready for us non-techies? I say yes - so far. -- LHawes LHawes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6244 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27886 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Slim Server Loaded Before It Will Play?
Here's something I don't remember about 6.3. I seem to have to load slim server 6.5 before it will play music. Did 6.3 always behave this way? I can shut down slim server and it will continue to play but the first time I crank up the computer I have to start slim server to play music - is this normal? -- LHawes LHawes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6244 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27940 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Some/many/all(?) of these issues are being addressed in 6.5.1 I believe. SlimDevices official stance is that you absolutely can install right over top.Ben ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Ben Sandee;139348 Wrote: Maybe check to see if you have APE tags in there, I believe they may take precedence of ID3v2. [...] I'm sure there's a tag in there and it's just a matter of figuring out where it is. ... and how to nuke the bastard! dBPowerAMP does indeed report quite differently: under ID Tag it says APEv2 IDE3v1 IDE3v2.3 (I have no idea what this means: does the file have three different sets of tags? If so, which set is it showing me? Why does MediaMonkey *not* show the APE tag (values)?) Against both Artist and BAND it lists Anouar Brahem; only against Band/Orchestra/accompaniment does it have Brahem, Anouar. I've no idea which tool(s) introduced this folly; I can't remember how I ripped the CD originally, and heavens knows how many times I've fiddled with the tags since. Nor do I know (nor really care to know) why SlimServer has decided to show this up *now*. I wonder if something like mp3tag can be used to rationalise this sort of mayhem in batch (i.e. without track-by-track mollycoddling)? To cap it all, I'm also spotting a few cases where one album (by one artist) have been split into two separate albums, which as far as I can see (in SS) have identical artists and titles. I'm guessing that I changed some other property of some tracks, using a tool that then screwed up the artist/album tags somehow, but left other tracks untouched. This is *so* frustrating. Just when I thought I'd got it all sussed, and had my collection tagged the way I wanted, it turns out that I haven't! Please note: my gripe is not with SlimServer, but with tagging tools that don't tell the whole truth. But no doubt it'll turn out to be some configuration option (secretly write crap tags that override user's choices [default: on]) that I've not spotted. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27848 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
