Re: [slim] Help: IRBlaster and Volume Up
Hey Mike I had the issue myself until I've set the max to 60 (instead of 100). After reading your first post again I get the impression that there might be another issue as I think the behavior you describe using the Test button looks odd. I cannot see why it would work only once for volume up. Pressing the test button sends out the corresponding ir command directly regardless of the current volume or max volume set so it should work in both directions and also multiple times. Did you learn the ir commands or did you find an appropriate file on lirc.org? Have you tried to slightly move and reattach the ir emitter? The signal could be too strong or too weak for the ir receiver and depending on the ir pattern it could overload it. Felix -- fcm4711 Everyone said: This cannot be done.

Hey don't be so hard on yourself. You can't test every form of installation (tak it from someone who has developed systems for 20 years). I am just glad that you want to take the effort to make SC run on FreeNAS. Without that I would be forced to invest my money in a new computer instead of the old one that runs things now. Which by the way is doing it perfectly. But I think I will setup a WM image with FreeNAS/SlimNAS on it for test purposes so it won't affect my running installation.

[slim] FLAC -DRM Free Music
I have purchased a few songs (MP3s) from Amazon in the past but usually balk getting a lossy copy of a song. ~99.5% of my collection is FLAC ripped from my CD collection. I thought I'd post a note about my purchase experience of a FLAC album through Nettwerk Record's Store (http://www.werkshop.com/store/home.action). I decided to purchase the FLAC edition of Sarah McLachlan's Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff - Volume 2 released in April 08. $10.99 (US Dollar) For this album the site had track samples via real audio and the ability to purchase individual mp3 tracks but alas not individual FLAC tracks. I was really interested in picking up her cover of the Beatles Blackbird (also in the I Am Sam movie soundtrack). With only a few of the songs of little interest to me I made the purchase. The ZIP file download was quick enough (~650MB). The FLAC songs file names were not to my liking but were easily changed. What really surprised me was the lack of TAGs. This was readily corrected via foobar2000's freedb tagger. With the files/songs properly tagged I rescanned and all was well. The album sounds fantastic (not that I could really tell the difference between a FLAC and a ~160kb mp3). I prefer the FLAC so I can transcode those files/songs to play on other devices/media (CD-Rs for the car, SD card for my palm). I love that Nettwerk provides access to the majority of their artists via their own store. Overall the experience was painless. Obviously the files need to be properly tagged before they can be picked up by SqueezeCenter. One just has to make that part of the process just like you would with a ripped CD. -- bobharp Bob Harper bobharp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47931 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Help: IRBlaster and Volume Up
Felix, I had to learn the IR commands. I am not using an emitter. My pre-amp has a mini-jack input for accepting IR commands. I was assuming there is no problem with my equipment set-up or the IR commands that I learned because when I use the SB3 IR Remote and press volume up it works just fine. The problem is only from SC (player control web page, test button on the plug-in page, via the SBC). Does that theory make sense? I wonder what else is different about our set ups that setting the max volume to 60 worked for you. Would I need to restart SC after doing that? When I tried setting the max to 60, it definitely changed the max, but it still behaved as I described in my message above.

Re: [slim] Transporter - Speaker connection help

I also have to side with the feeling that the DAC in the TP would probably be better then your HT Rxcr. Try using the analog outs into the AUX or CD input of your Rxcr then listen to the digital input into the Rxcr to see which gives a better level of enjoyment. If it is just for background sound during a party or before or after a movie then just go digital. I have an older HT Rxcr with an older Burr-Brown Chip processing the Toslink input. Its a good chip for the HT Rxcr but anybody can hear the difference between it and feeding the Rxcr with the analog out of the TP. The analog out has a sharp accurate sound stage with more defined bass and clearer treble. -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47913 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SBC r2448 less stable ?
Hi all, I might be barking up the wrong tree but I think I know what the problem is. If you are using a PC or laptop to stream your music from and you switch off the PC or laptop while controller is connected to it then you have lost connection. If you connect controller to Squeezenetwork before switching off your PC or laptop then it will boot up into squeezenetwork straight away. (I think). I have had my Duet for a few weeks now and my wife thinks I have a mistress the way I talk about it. I love the fact that it is fallible as it gives me something to ponder over and challenges my limited knowledge and intelligence. If the truth be known, most of the people on this forum who understand that this is an evolving bit of kit love its idiosyncrises (I think I spelt that wrong) because it represents a challenge.(I also play music through it sometimes). Can't wait until I can connect a 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter to my controller and connect to my Sony DR BT50 headphones out in the garden.

Re: [slim] Help: IRBlaster and Volume Up
Felix, Your last post made me think some more. When using the SB3 IR remote if I press hold volume down it continues to decrease the volume on my pre-amp as you would expect. With Volume Up it only increases the volume once when you hod it down. You then have to release and press volume up again on the SB3 IR remote to get it to continue increasing the volume. My pre-amp has a display that show the volume attenuation in DB. Could this be a problem with my pre-amp not understanding the repeated IR command for volume up? It seems odd that it works for volume down, but not up. Could this be related to the fact that from SC I can only get the volume to go up one click? The difference with SC is you are not holding it down, but making individual clicks. With the Test button on your plugin page I can get the volume to go up once and each subsequent click of the test button does nothing. If I click volume down test button (which works fine with repeated clicks), I can then get one more click on the volume up test button. Would this scenario be similar the behavior I described with the SB3 IR remote? Any suggestions? I attached a copy of raw IR codes if that will help at all. I stuck .txt at the end so I could attach it.

Also, it's dumb that after all these years, I still have to set each player's settings individually each time I upgrade versions.

From SqueezeNetwork? Where-ever it's being sent from or fetched from it's wrong and that's what I'd like to find out.

BrockStone wrote: Anyways, my main question wasn't please help me solve it, it was where does the SBR get the IP for the SC from? It must get it from somewhere. Autodiscovery? I don't know the technical details. I do know that my Receiver was not working when my WiFi network went bonkers. I have a mostly wired network, internal NAT, 172.16/16 address. Worked great until my Wireless Access Point died. So I got a new Linksys WRT54GL and tried to set it up. I had problems from the start. Long story short, the WRT worked fine as a WAP for my laptops, but not my Controller nor my Receiver. The initial setup had the WAP assign a 192.168.1.0/24 address, with routing to my 172.16 network. Neither the Controller nor the Receiver could find my SqueezeCenter, which had a fixed 172.16.4.10 address. It took a while before I figured out how to get DD-WRT to work as a pure WAP, so both the wired and WiFi side lived in the 172.16 space. Once that was working, life was good. I turned on the Controller, it got a DHCP address, found the SqueezeCenter, did an update to the software and worked. I plugged in my Receiver, it got a DHCP address, found the SqueezeCenter and started playing tunes. It probably was a network problem, probably that my 172.16.4.1 was not spraying messages out to the SqueezeCenter. But I'm not a serious IP networking guru. So check your network, make sure its all routing properly. And the support folks at SlimDevices are far better than the average bear. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Somebody has to say it.
On Wed, 21 May 2008 20:55:15 -0700, random_tox [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I'm a loyal customer. I've owned at least 5 Squeezeboxes over the years and currently (try to) use two SB3's in my home, and softsqueeze at the office. I've been an advocate and sold many friends on the products and concepts of Slimdevices. I still plan to go big and get a Transporter just as soon as there is software to match that incredible piece of equipment. But I'm after a long, blissful, year of enjoying a well tuned Slimserver 6.5.something and ignoring updates, I made the mistake of trying 7.0. I'm going to vent. I'm sincerely not trying to offend, but maybe light a fire. So, apparently you do like 6.5? Here's my list of what is dumb: -Software reliability: Please call a beta version (buggy, untested, unreliable, even though a few of us geeks can get it running) a beta version. Don't make it the default download until you have some indication that it is going to work for your customers. Helping troubleshoot my job and not a hobby I enjoy when I'm trying to listen to music. and I just want the latest version that will actually work. 6.5.x, right? 7.x is beta. Release candidate, tops. Your not under the same pressure as a software company to release, release, release. You're hardware is only as reliable as your software and sales will suffer. I've had no such problems. -Effects and animation: You know how we all make fun of flaming animated .GIF images on crappy amature webpages? Same thing. Just because it's neat doesn't mean you have to put it in. These features serve only to remind us that you've been using your resources to integrate spinning CD images instead of fixing bugs and improving performance. It's a browser interface, not a feature film. Present the information quickly and orderly. No one is impressed by a chunky, slow transparent overlay that doesn't present anything useful. Why do you think Vista (Window XP, Millenium Ed.) is tanking? Which animated gifs are we talking about? They must be really subtle cause I don't notice them. Realistically, most people do like a shiny webpage, and for me SC is as quick as SS was. -Settings: I was very happy to read that supposedly 7.X would keep my previous settings. Wrong. I can't even get it to run without a complete nuke of the previous install, which nukes my settings. Also, it's dumb that after all these years, I still have to set each player's settings individually each time I upgrade versions. Give us a persistant default player settings interface as well as individual player settings. And god, would someone re-org the settings? There must be 50 pages worth that are in nearly random order. That's a very angry feature request you're writing. I don't mind a reinstall myself as long as it's limited to major version upgrades. -Slim Network requirement: Give me a break. I'm sure many people find the Slim Network a useful service, but there is no reason these devices can't operate without any communication beyond their local network if that's what the user wants. I don't want to give you an address, or password, or info about when my player is on or off, or anything. You got my money and that the only demographic info you need. SC works fine without squeezenetwork. -tray icon: Just what the world needs. One more tray icon that does nothing useful (unless you count starting... starting... starting indefinately until I uninstall/reinstall as useful). What is the fascination? Did the marketing department come up with it? Why does it take 13 megs of memory 24/7 to tell me nothing I don't already know? Ah, you're a veteran Windows user! -Slim/Logitech: You guys/gals are acting dumb. How can the company that hatched such a brilliant product concept still be mired with such a crappy, unfriendly software implimentation? I'm a vetran technology pro and I find your stuff is a pain in the butt. How can I recommend it to technically moderate family and friends that need something to be intuitive and easy and works out of the box? Every home should have several of you devices, but your ship will sink first if you take another x years to publish a decent interface. They don't seem to be sinking very hard, do they? AFAICT the duet is a major success. -Me: I'm dumb for wasting my time writing this. Won't change anything. Probably get sensored. You probably mean 'censored', no, this kind of rants pop up occasionally to bore us all, they're not censored. The threads are closed if they're too inflammatory, that's not censorship. I don't think your's will be, though. -Me again: I'm also dumb for upgrading to 7. Let me know when it's 7.5.x. I'll be back on 6.5ish. Funny thing is, that this sort of rant probably shows how strongly people feel about their squeezeboxes, which is a good thing in itself. It's hard to please everyone, businesses go broke trying.
