[slim] Madness: Softsqueeze, SqueezePlay, Squeezebox Desktop
Have the developers gone raving mad? I tried to find Softsqueeze, then discovered it is now called SqueezePlay, so I go to the wiki, where I am told under the heading of SquuezePlay: SqueezeBox Desktop is a replacement for SoftSqueeze and is based on the SqueezeOS software platform. To make the confusion complete, when you then click on nightly builds in SqueezeBox Desktop can be downloaded from the Nightly Builds, you end up on the Squeezecenter nightly release page where neither SqueezePlay nor SqueezeBox Desktop is mentioned. Well done guys! BTW, who is going to put a stop to all these ludicrous name changes.

Re: [slim] Madness: Softsqueeze, SqueezePlay, Squeezebox Desktop
Squeezeplay is a replacement and a totally different player to Softsqueeze - not a renaming. In summary SqueezePlay is written in Lua - implements new Controller and player. Softsqueeze is written in Java - emulates SB2,SB3, Boom and Transporter displays Squeezeslave is written in C - originally no display and intended to be a player in the background on a PC. SqueezePlay is the UI and player in Controller, Radio and Touch. It can play lots of audio formats. SqueezePlay Desktop is a version of SqueezePlay but for PCs - it omits the licensed code such as WMA and AAC decoders which means SqueezePlay I think the moniker SqueezeBox Desktop is a typo by someone. You can find Softsqueeze under 3rd party plugin - Community Softsqueeze. SqueezeSlave can be found in Sourceforge SqueezePlay for OSX, Windows etc can be found in nightly downloads although since change of licence there are other builds now available from users. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74747 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the help. Sorry for giving the impression that Squeezeplay is a replacement of SoftSqueeze. I was looking at it from the user point of view and am well aware that we are dealing with two different products. I hope the error in the Wiki will soon be corrected. As to the rebranding ... you can kill an otherwise decent product by rebranding it too often. Most ordinary users like myself use a product and that is usually it.

I did eventually came across Perl Audio Converter that will probably do the trick for this user, but it would be nice to have preinstalled script that fits into distro 3.

Re: [slim] Will old Slim Devices work with new Duet system...
If the old style 'original' is a SliMP3 or SB1, then you may not be happy with sync performance. Those models have very small buffers, which sometimes causes sync problems. On the other hand, a SB2 should work fine. The SB2 looks a lot like the SB1. The best way to tell the difference is to look on the label at the bottom. The SB1 says Squeezebox and the SB2 says Squeezebox2. The SliMP3 and SB1 have other limitations, such as 'b' rather than 'g' wifi and native support for a more limited range of audio codecs (eg, no native FLAC).

I would like to hook up the transporter directly to an amp but I know there are issues with this due to line level balancing. Not exactly an audiophile amp but I'm considering the Cerwin Vega Pro Cv-1800. It has XLR inputs which should work nicely. I would like to use the volume control on transporter. Will I have any issues with this? -- xcraft xcraft's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36277 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Jazz FM 91 from Toronto Canada
I have been listening to Jazz.FM 91 from Toronto via the URL: http://216.123.189.13:8000/ but this stream is only 48k CBR The station has e-mailed me another URL which is for their AAC+ feed, but it does not appear to work. The exact URL they sent me was: rtmp://streamerdelta.jazz.fm/livejazz/livestream Note it begins rtmp does this signify something or has it been mistyped? When using this URL it just appears as File Format Unknown. They gave me another link to this AAC+ feed which is www.jazz.fm/listen, but this only works from a web browser.

Re: [slim] Jazz FM 91 from Toronto Canada
RTMP is a Adobe Flash protocol - so it is a Flash/AAC stream which is not natively supported by Logitech. That said, BBCiPlayer plays streams from BBC which are Flash/AAC (i.e. rtmp URLs) but the implementation is set up to only play RTMP streams from BBC source so you cannot just enter the URL into the Tune-in box or as a Favorite. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
Its true that some alien devices such as TV extenders etc use the 2.4GHz band as well. Especially the TV extenders can be a source for interference since they use directional antennas with relatively high gain. In most cases, it is possible to keep your home wireless network free from interference. It all comes down to selecting the right channels. What most people are not aware of is that you should try to use only channel 1, 6 or 11 in a 2.4GHz band although 11 channels (FCC) or 13 channels (ETSI) are available. These three channels are non-overlapping channels and so they can provide the full bandwidth available. Not everyone will be able to site survey their home environment but there are a few simple applications available that provide basic but useful information in order to properly setup your home wireless. 1. NetStumbler: http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/ This free utility scans the environment for wireless networks. It will tell you on what channels they are active. With this basic test you can see with channels are occupied and so you can configure your own network to operate on a free channel. If no channel is free, then select one were the used signal is weak (low SNR level). NetStumbler is able to see networks that are not broadcasting their SSIDs as well. It is a very good tool. 2. Some Windows drivers provide basic channel information (like NetStumbler) as well. For example: Intel, Toshiba etc. If yours doesnt provide it then use NetStumbler. 3. Another one, more complex and chargeable, is Wi-Spy: http://www.metageek.net/ Wi-Spy is also able to run a recording over a longer period of time. This will provide you with a better view of what is going on in the 2.4GHz band. We use this at work during site surveys and when customers complain about response times. Works great. Hope this helps. -- Pascal Hibon __ 2 x SB3 - both wireless, ReadyNAS NV+ running SBS, iPeng on iPod Touch.
