Re: [slim] DSBridge - A simpler way to stream Spotify
This is great!! I have just managed to get a direct connection between my laptop and squeezebox, without having to run it through squeeze centre server software. I am now using DSBridge streaming through squeezenetwork When you add the stream to your favourites in squeezenetwork / mysqueezebox.com you need to add #slim:noscan=1 to the end of the URL. So for me, I have 192.168.1.101:8124/#slim:noscan=1 The DSBridge software only seems to support one stream at a time. Squeezenetwork tries to connect to validate the stream before playing, which is tricky with internal IPs. It also creates a couple of streams, which seems to break dsbridge. Using noscan avoids this, and seems to fix it! This works great and and now I wonder if it is possible to get spotify on a Ipod Touch and put DSBridge there as well and use it as a remote at home? I guess it does! -- avbryt avbryt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10719 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64590 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

In the living room, where I have a decent stereo, I don't want MP3s, but on the Controller and Squeezeslave, I wouldn't notice much difference.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio on the SB3: can I filter on sound quality?
I second ShoutCast. :) Use ShoutCast settings to easily seek out many of the higher bitrate streams: SBS My Apps ShoutCast Settings - Station Sort Order *highest bitrate* - Bitrate Filtering *192k* You can also set the above ShoutCast settings on MySB Remote Control ShoutCast Settings Now any Search or Genre you choose within ShoutCast will only result in streams 192k or higher (or say 128k if you chose 128k as your limit) This will also filter out most of the many duplicate streams (same stream offered in four different bitrates) But there are draw backs to this Bitrate Filtering: - greatly reduces results (number of stations) for Searches Genres - many Searches and Genres will have zero results - AAC files will not show up as few (if any) are at such high bitrates ex: a 64k AAC stream is basically equal in audio quality to a 128k MP3 or WMA stream -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77258 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] outdoor speaker recommendations?
Thanks for the replies. I decided to start on the lower end of the budget and went with the Polk Atrium 45. Installed them over the weekend and listened to them for a few hours and I'm quite pleased. Obviously this isn't a critical listening situation, what with the ambient semi-urban noise of cars, lawn mowers, helicopters, etc. But great for background music or casual listening at volumes that won't bother the neighbors. If anyone else is thinking along these lines, I should say that the AudioSource AMP100 may be a little underpowered for the Atrium 45 speakers. I know that outdoor speakers tend to sound soft because you're not containing the sound within a room, but even on my tests of the system indoors I had to crank the amp's volume more than I expected to get a decent volume level (especially compared to using the same model amp with 2 pairs of Polk RC60i speakers in my kitchen). It's good enough for the volume levels I've needed so far, but it wouldn't stand up to an outdoor dance party. I'll try a different amp at some point to compare. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76563 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Problems rescanning library--mySQL corruption?
Had a quick look at the file you submitted with the bug and notice that it contains both ID3v2.4 -and- APEv2 tags. APE tags on MP3 files have caused problems in the past to the SBS scanner. It might be worth trying to remove these (MP3Tag or Foobar2000 are free programs that easily allow you to remove just the APE tags while keeping the ID3 tags). Of course, if you have other MP3 files with both kinds of tag that are not causing issues, then I'm talking through my hat, and you can just ignore this! -- goharbourview123 goharbourview123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76916 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

yeah besides adding music I also delete music as well (moving it between various directories).

Re: [slim] Radio v. Boom????
It sounds to me like you will be close enough to the device to perceive the separation of the stereo channels, so the Boom would be a good choice. Also, with it being a larger room, it will fill the room with sound better. I don't own a Radio, but I've read that is doesn't have the punch of the Boom. FWIW, the Boom is also rock solid stable since it is based on the tried-n-true SB3 (aka Classic) technology. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

It seems you also have to do this for the line 'skip-networking'. Can you check this in the my.tt file as described in the ACC remote server option pages? Since the ReadyNAS seems to have a non default SBS MySQL installation also look for the file /etc/my.cnf as indicated on the link above. If you have modified the MySQL config file, restart the readynas en use the Test button from ACC to check if remote access is possible. If it doesn't work let me know and I'll see if we can try something else.

That's an ancient article (2007) about a few specific chipsets from before 802.11n was even finalized. It demonstrates limitations of the specific, poor router and/or client chipsets -- not necessarily the 802.11n spec. That's my reading of it, anyways. Also, the 50-80% penalty is only when WEP is used. Using WPA2, even with those old routers it is considerably faster, but again this boils down to bad implementations.
