[slim] Re: play request goes to save playlist
First, you should upgrade the software, the latest nightly 6.5.1 is significantly improved over what you have. I agree it probably won't fix your problem, but do it anyway - it ensures you are on the same page as people who may be trying to help you. Second, it sounds like a problem with your remote. Obvious first step - change the batteries! If that doesn't work, you might want to investigate the hypothesis that the play button on your remote is faulty. Look up the custom.map feature and map another button that you don't use very often to have the play function. If that doesn't work, report back and someone will suggest something else!

[slim] Album year vs track year (is there already an IDv3 tag for this?)
My collection has a number of Greatest Hits type albums. I'm a but fussy with my music tags, and when I see a track I like to know whan that track was released, and not necessarily when the album was released. As such, I edit all my tags from compilation or best-of albums and correct the tag to show year of track (not year of album release). I know some might think it a bit sad, but it's just the way I like to have it working. Slim doesn't seem to like it. It might just be the whole various-artists problem that I've not correctly configured around yet, or it might be that Slim sees an album with the same artist but with loads of different year tags and gets upset. either way, Slim (quite correctly) doesn't know which year to display for the album because, according to my tagging, the album was released across a number of different years :) Basically - is there already provision in the IDv3 tag to allow for Album year - e.g. the year the compilation was released vs Track year - e.g. the date the track was originally released If such a thing already exists, does anyone use it, and how is your Slim configured to deal with it?

Hi - i've been away but have just caught up on this thread. I have album artwork for 90% of the tracks in my iTunes library, so I wonder if that could be the cause? Actually I did used to have an odd bug with the last version of SlimServer - it would display album artwork for some tracks but not others that had artwork in iTunes (and the difference may have been due to graphic file type). I of course welcome a cache if it speeds up SlimServer, however if it is is intended to be this big, is there a way to select a target drive/directory? I suspect many users would also want to be able to enable/disable the cache. Or perhaps we could have the option to enable/disable album art if that stops the cache getting so big. -- rbdavis rbdavis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Could it be related to the various artists functionality that has been introduced in the later versions? As in - SS might be listing 113 unique artists (including one artist called Various Artists at home page, but if you have compilation albums, then each artist may be listed separately in the albums view (so Various Artists becomes 350-odd separate artists). That would rely on you having a high percentage of compilations though, so perhaps not relevant to the symptoms you see. -- gutted http://www.last.fm/user/gutt3d/ Slimserver 6.3.1 +MusicIP Mixer 1.7 +MoodLogic 2.7.1.18 +AlienBBC 1.02a +Slimscrobbler 0.34 Windows 2000 Professional sp4 Intel Celeron 1.4GHz 512MB RAM Squeezebox 1 wireless (Player Firmware Version: 40) Library of approx 6600 MP3s gutted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

There've been all sorts of headaches with the new functionality :( I know that the official response from Support is that Slim no longer 'guesses' and now relies on 'proper tagging' but it's a change from previous versions that confused plenty of people :) :) There are a couple of settings you can play with to see if your library statistics change... I don't have access to the interface now, but there's a setting (probably under Bahaviour where you can choose to group compilations separately by each artist vs group compilations under same artist (or something like that - I'm sure someone else herre will be able to correct me, and give you the proper place/setting). If the library stats change when you play with this setting, and - importantly - correctly reflect what you should have, then let us know as there is a new tag you may need to add to your library to make slim deal with the albums correctly. -- gutted http://www.last.fm/user/gutt3d/ Slimserver 6.3.1 +MusicIP Mixer 1.7 +MoodLogic 2.7.1.18 +AlienBBC 1.02a +Slimscrobbler 0.34 Windows 2000 Professional sp4 Intel Celeron 1.4GHz 512MB RAM Squeezebox 1 wireless (Player Firmware Version: 40) Library of approx 6600 MP3s gutted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Sonos-like remote?
To put in my X cents worth, I currently use SlimServer to listen to my iTunes music library on several PCs. I have been taking a while to consider my upgrade path to a 5-room hardware solution. I'd like to keep using SlimServer because I think its a solid solution and has a great community, but the web interface and the SoftSqueeze/SqueezeBox single line of text interfaces are too painful compared to, for example, the iPod or iTunes UIs. I'm therefore regretfully considering Sonos over SqueezeBox because of their remote. (The other factor for me is that my server PC is quite slow and it seems that Sonos takes more of the load off the PC. But i guess I can solve that by upgrading to a NAS that runs SlimServer at some point). So SlimDevices - if you announced a remote with simple and fast navigation using buttons and a screen, artwork display, instant control from switch on, close integration with SlimServer features, etc. you'd bring me back from the 'other side' in an instant...! ;) -- rbdavis rbdavis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27824 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] 6.5 post upgrade query
I just installed 6.5 over 6.31 working well at present though I have noticed a couple of things that I have tried to resolve but the resolution has yet to materialise! Firstly, in both web and player interface if I look for Robert Plant he no longer appears under R but Robert Plant is listed under P (for Plant). Robert just about everyone else appears under R (Palmer for example). I use Tag Rename and have looked at the Artist field and they are formatted (as far as I can tell) the same for both Roberts that is FirstnamespaceSecondname however, they are now appearing in different places. Where should I look further? I am assuming at this stage that it will be in the handling of the tags and I should therefore look at the tags in more detail which I will! The second observation is that when I list All Songs for any given artist, I am sure that they used to be listed in alphabetical order they no longer appear like that instead it looks like the appear to be listed in one long list album after album. I have stared at all the settings but the answer eludes me still any pointers gratefully received.

Getting rid of the extended characters would certainly be a work-around to that issue.

[slim] Re: Cannot connect to slimserver
Are the laptops running a DHCP server, by any chance? The router, by default, will have it's own DCHP server and should be asigning an IP to the squeezebox. But if laptops are also running their own DHCP server, then maybe that is confusing things. In that case, perhaps the laptop is giving the SB a new IP address as soon as you connect the wi-fi enabled laptop and you can no longer connect to SB via the router? -- gutted http://www.last.fm/user/gutt3d/ Slimserver 6.3.1 +MusicIP Mixer 1.7 +MoodLogic 2.7.1.18 +AlienBBC 1.02a +Slimscrobbler 0.34 Windows 2000 Professional sp4 Intel Celeron 1.4GHz 512MB RAM Squeezebox 1 wireless (Player Firmware Version: 40) Library of approx 6600 MP3s gutted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28149 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Jeff - do you store MIP music fingerprint into your tags? If so, then in theory, a quick(ish) test would be to create a new music folder (test, for example) with only 1 track in it. You could use MIP to store fingerprint into the track tags and then get Slim to try and scan the track in; if that fails, try removing the fingerprint data and rescan the single track again. If it is, indeed, something to do with fingerprint data and you performed the test above you could log it as a bug (?) -- gutted http://www.last.fm/user/gutt3d/ Slimserver 6.3.1 +MusicIP Mixer 1.7 +MoodLogic 2.7.1.18 +AlienBBC 1.02a +Slimscrobbler 0.34 Windows 2000 Professional sp4 Intel Celeron 1.4GHz 512MB RAM Squeezebox 1 wireless (Player Firmware Version: 40) Library of approx 6600 MP3s gutted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28223 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] I want SS to ignore TPE2 / Album Artist tags?
Is there a way to get Slim Server to ignore TPE2 / Album Artist tags? I have had lots of 'Artists' disappear from my listings. From the investigations I've made - what appears to have happened is that I had WMP set to update media info from the internet but not over right existing data. What this appears to have done is insert into lots of tags additional TPE2 'Album Artist' data which in many cases it has gathered from compilation albums and not the original albums. Therefore, the 'Album Artist' is now listed as 'Various Artists'. Now I wouldn't have thought that that should be a problem except that for some reason Slim Server is giving priority to 'Album Artist' rather than 'Artist' and listing many of my artists now as 'Various Artists'. Therefore, I would like to configure Slimserver to ignore 'Various Artists' or (in my mind what it should be doing anyway) give priority to the 'Artist' tag.

First, I pointed SlimServer at this test folder, and did a clear and rescan. It dumped my database, found the single track, added it to my library and then crashed. Second,used Mp3Tag v32.36 to remove the MusicMagic tags from the file (there were still a bunch of MusicBrainz tags in there through), did a clear and rescan with the same result as above. Third, I turned off the Use MusicMagic setting, and did a clear/rescan and again, it crashed.

Fifth, I replaced the file with the original to restore the mIP tags, re-enabled Use MusicMagic and rescanned ... no crash ... but the song also didn't end up with the mm link indicating it should be mixable.

DIrectory structure is basically F:/Music/personal folder/genre/artist/album/track When I upgraded to 6.5.0 and decided to browse playlists I noted that it brought up all playlists in the Music folder. Generally speaking I only had about 7 or 8 medium size playlists (circa 100 tracks each) which I had saved on my system before the upgrade. All of a sudden I now have roughly 300 recognized playlists. When I investigated this I then saw that in a number of my album folders I have a playlist file for the cd which was ripped - and these playlists make up the bulk if not all of those lists which I unexpectedly discovered. Doers anyone have an idea on the changes made to recognition of playlists and on whether having these in my directory would cause the scan process to take as long as it does.. or is it reasonalble to expect a library of my size (mostly MP3's @192kbs) to take upwards of 4 hours to to a full scan thoughts appreciated -- rick's cafe WHEN MUSIC HIT YOU YOU FEEL NO PAIN!!! rick's cafe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28237 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I know this is usually easy, but I tried to delete various RSS feeds that no longer worked. Now I have 4 empty boxes, which leaves SB thinking there are 4 feeds extra. Is there a way to force it to delete the empty ones? Currently using 6.5, but I had the problem back in 6.2 6.3- just didn't get annoying until now. Also, is there a way to make my SB3 switch to SqueezeNetwork when the server goes down (power outages are common here)? The router would automatically restart, but the computer will not.

Unfortunately this can't tell what the freezes where on button presses at the start [do you remember what display mode you were in and what button you pressed?] The rest do look down to the plugin though. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28195 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: V6.5 huge FileCache
I spoke to soon - i haven't used SlimServer today (it was brough down again) and the cached has gone up from an initial 25MB to 450MB again.

Can you clarify what happens when it loses it - does either player stutter or stop? Or do they simply drift out of sync without actually breaking up the audio? And it should resync at track changes - does this occur? Do you hear a break at the track change while it tries to resync? -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28081 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] HELP me to stream the radio RTL.FR
hello all, I need your help! Some time ago, several members advised me on the procedure to stream the radio RTL.FR to my device. I needed to use the link: mms://vipmms9.yacast.net/encoderrtl I don't know how you found this info, but it worked. Since 1 Oct, the radio changed their interface, this link is now longer worked. Instead the radio is now accessible via the page http://radio.rtl.fr. I checked the source code of this Java applet, but have identified anything ressembling a link that will be compatible with my box. Could you please advise on the procedure to find the proper link, or even possibly find it for me? Thanks a lot, -- patrickw59 Patrick Squeezebox 2, Slimserver 6.3.1 or higher WiFi connection to IMAC-G5, OS X.4.4 or higher ADSL connection 1 Mbps. 4 songs from my CD collection and streaming lots of European radio stations. patrickw59's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3747 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28249 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: 6.5.0 Problem
Could you turn on the debugging flag in the Dynamic Playlists setting page in the web ui ? This will make it possible to see a little bit more what actually happens when the DynamicPlaylist plugin handles the commands that take som time. If these commands is happening when the track is changed it might just be that the SQL that is executed takes some time on your hardware. -- 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=28195 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
