[slim] Slightly OT: Stylesheet
My favourite web browser is Opera 10.10 which I use when visiting this forum. However, I have a small problem when a post contains pictures: Sometimes they are too wide to fit in the Opera window, and Opera refuses to show a horizontal scrollbar especially in this forum (see attached screenshot). A user in an Opera related forum guessed that I should ask for an amendment in the stylesheet that this (Squeezebox) forum uses: the line *display:block* will fix the problem with big pictures.

Re: [slim] Sonos is better than Squeezebox in Denmark...
Hi there Sonos better than Squeezebox is an absolutely STUPID statement -- different tricks for different markets. It's like saying a small Smart Car is better than a decent BMW or IPOD type bud headphones are better than a pair of Bose Noise cancelling 'cans. The SONOS system is HIDEOUSLY expensive -- true it's considered the Rolls Royce of this type of application - but the squeezebox system is the best bang for buck BY FAR -- the quality isn't that far off the Sonos system either -- plug the duet into a decent amp (with or without DSP's in it) and it still sounds impressive. The RADIO also is a very nice piece of kit -- my main grumble was that I had to buy it wothout the re-chargeable batterry -- almost a MORTAL SIN for this app since this radio is just ASKING to be carried around. Works very well indeed for what it does. If I could affford one I'd buy the SONOS system in an instant -- but my budget doesn't run to that. I DO like the squeezebox system a lot --in spite of one or two little quirks in setting it up from time to time.

[slim] Windows 7 -- Please allow use of LIBRARIES feature
Hi there To the Software developers -- For Windows 7 users the Library concept makes it really easy in defining a Library and then being able to have the components - such as Music tracks etc put on ANY DISK (or disks) in your network --making multiple disk handling totally transparent to the user. This means you can organize libraries on different disks such as jazz, Classical, Opera, Heavy metal etc etc etc. Using the squeezebox system as is you get a Music Folder option. Thismeans a standard directory in Windows which is restricted to a single drive. I think Linux users have an advantage here inb that you can mount directories to a mount point so you can get a tree system structure. Anyway if you could make use of the Windows 7 Libraries feature would be a great improvment.

Re: [slim] Windows 7 -- Please allow use of LIBRARIES feature
While I agree supporting Win7 libraries sounds like a great idea, you can achieve exactly the same result as you can on Linux under Windows.

Re: [slim] Slightly OT: Stylesheet
It is better in a sense that Opera now displays a horizontal scrollbar.
The user in the Opera related forum made another suggestion - create a
css file, containing the line *img.attach {display: block;}* and use
this in the site specific settings for this forum. This works, too - the
pictures in the thread I mentioned are then positioned on top of each
other instead of side by side - but this is only a single user solution
as each Opera user would have to made this change.

[slim] Assigning fixed IP addresses to RADIO etc (NOT THE COMPUTER)
Hi there is there any way to assign fixed IP addresses to a Duet / Radio running on a LAN I'm often testing stuff remotely as well and with a router for example you often need to Port Forward to specific machines on your LAN. For example you want to access a HOME computer from work via RDP (Windows users) then you need to port forward port 3389 to a specific machine on your local LAN at home. Now if my computer is down and I've re-started the Squuezebox devices before re-booting the computer the squeezebox devices Grab the IP address that I've assigned to the computer with - predictable results as you can guess. Even if you assign a fixed IP address to your computer it doesn't stop the squeezebox devices grabbing IP addresses if you start them BEFORE your computer. It's not really convenient to ensure all the squeezebox devices are turned OFF before re-booting the computer. On a LAN with a lot of testing (I'm running 5 or 6 Virtual Machines as well on this LAN) I really would like the squeezebox devices to have their own IP addresses to avoid a lot of silly networking problems. BTW a lot of people having connectivity problems can usually solve these by switching off their squeezebox devices, restart their router, reboot the computer and THEN switch on the squeezebox devices.

Hi, Most routers will allow you to set an IP address for a specific MAC address. I use a Netgear Router, and it assigns the same address to any device I have set it to. Look under Attached Devices to get the MAC, then look under IP Assignments. Add the IP you want, add the MAC for the device, and you are set... That way you don't even have to touch the remote hardware.

[slim] Hi-res support
So I've exhausted my limited amount of patience waiting for the Touch and am wondering what my options are for getting 24/96 support in conjunction with SBS. I'm not interested in spending $1500+ on a transporter so I'm looking to the software solutions. Will either Squeezeslave or Squeezeplay output bit perfect data? Will either play high-res material? I have a growing number of 24/88.2k and 24/96k files I want to play. I'd like an easy to use solution (I'm not a linux guy and hacking around with Alsa drivers last night with Vortexbox was enough to make me reconsider that approach). I'd like to build a small PC and stick a RME card in it and output via it's SPDIF port to my Grace DAC. I'll control everything with iPeng so I don't need a local display - This which would suggest SqueezeSlave, but I'm not sure how mature it is or how it will be supported going forward.

upstatemike;518180 Wrote: I'm pretty sure you can use a ZP90 just fine without a controller if you access it from the PC GUI interface. Yes, you can, but that's not really what it's made for (as the SB, too). I just think the price argument is somewhat exaggerated. Not so sure. In the case of comparing a one-zone-system 1:1 maybe not so much, but Sonos really makes most sense if you view it as a whole-house audio system and if you do that, you can go quite a bit cheaper - plus probabyly even more user friendly in some situations - with the SB due to the wider product range. If you really just want a number of rooms outfitted with displayless devices then you should really compare to the SBR. OK, the setup is more cumbersome but you do that ONCE. At least I did and I have absolutely no issues with my Receiver. But you can also add a cheap kitchen radio that has it's own controls, same for the bathroom. In a realistic scenario, if you compare to Sonos you'll add a number off expensive S5s plus you'd need additional controllers sice you have absolutely no UI whatsoever on any of the Sonos devices and then probably one controller is not enough for a whole house. OK, you can add iPods, but then you need WiFi (redundant!) again. I still believe for a realistic setup with 4-5 zones you end up with at least twice the cost for a Sonos system and that does even take additional cost for a bigger NAS/Server for SBs into account. Which doesn't change the fact that Sonos DOES do UI better than SB and DOES do setup better, IMHO. SBs have better functionality, though. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75341 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Using list prices for comparison on the assumption that both are available a comparable street price discounts the Sonos solution was $1,135 more than the SqueezeBox setup, including the $9.99 for iPeng. Probably add another $99 to that - for a Zone Bridge. I could potentially wire in one of the BR100's to the router in my office, but would be a pain. My Squeeze set up is below in my sig field, the comparable Sonos set up would be 1 S5 (closest thing to the Boom), a Sonos Bundle 250 (don't need the ZP120, but the bundle is $48 cheaper than buying 2 ZP90's and a controller) and three ZP90's for a total list of $2,445. So yes - my price did include the SBR's which I found to be inexpensive, easy to setup and un-intrusive rather than cheap and frustrating. List price for my setup is $1,310. Already have a server that I was using for media, so that's a wash. Real world numbers, real world economics, not based on the assumption that existing products (SBR) are excluded. If the SBR isn't for you, than the pricing delta would only be $335 less than the Sonos. In my case I already had stereo kit everywhere except the kitchen, where I've put the Boom, so amplified players were undesirable. -- JeffHart You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to.

Re: [slim] Ideas for improving the sync-experience
What Muele and Erland describe is pretty much how I use The Synchronizer plugin. I have several sync groups or zones defined, with a given player designated as the 'master' of each. Players can be in more than one sync group, which is especially useful for my Boom, which divides its time between the upstairs bedroom and the patio. Were there other features you had in mind, or are there gaps in The Synchronizer feature set that I'm overlooking, other than the obvious part about it being a plugin rather than built-in? -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75381 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Sonos is better than Squeezebox in Denmark...
Just going back to the sync issue for a second, I think life would be a
lot easier if the paradigm of a sync Master and sync Slaves could be
adopted.
{starting from all boxes un-synced}
1) choose your sync master
2) on the other boxes, you always have 3 choices - no sync, sync slave,
new sync master (ie it takes over, rather like the master browser on a
LAN). By default, if a new sync master is appointed, the old master
becomes a sync slave of the new master.
None of this from/to nonsense.
Of course if you want to have multiple masters with their own discrete
slaves, a true Zone system (with join/leave) is required.

Re: [slim] Assigning fixed IP addresses to RADIO etc (NOT THE COMPUTER)
The fragility that I'm talking about has little to do with MSFT's network stack and everything to do with the typically lousy DHCP implementation on consumer level routers. I'd also not recommend using address reservation on many consumer routers, the ones I auditioned last year all had big problems in that area.

Re: [slim] Assigning fixed IP addresses to RADIO etc (NOT THE COMPUTER)
I had quite a few problems running dynamic addressing with my Squeezeboxes plus laptop, desktop, printer. I think it was related to the consumer router DHCP implementation that andynormancx talked about. Currently everything but my Laptop and my Radio are using true static addresses. My router doesn't support reserved addresses. I haven't spent the time to figure out how to set my radio to static addressing... I imagine I could use the trick to turn-off DHCP on my router and see if the right dialog comes up when I try to connect, or I recall there's a way to configure it by logging in with SSH and modifying config file(s). -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75388 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Is there a way...
SBS doesn't scan for players. A new player on the network sends out a broadcast packet looking for servers. Any and all servers respond. The player will then connect to the server (and remember the server it connected to...). If you're talking about the webui, it may get a bit confused depending on your browser so a page reload will force it to grab the current list of attached players, but it shouldn't need that. Sometimes browsers get confused, though. But again, the server does NOT scan looking for players: the players look for a server. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75421 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
I initially thought I was completely disinterested in the iPad. While I love my iPhone; I'm skeptical about such a closed platform for anything that starts approaching a laptop replacement. But after using my iPhone with iPeng and also as a remote for my Tivo HD (I hate needing to aim line-of-sight IR) I realized that I'd probably love an iPad as a sort of super-smart universal remote. Yeah I know there are a bunch of devices in that category (Harmony, etc) but this one would do more (real web browsing, etc in a pinch) and run best-of-breed options like iPeng. Now all I need is someone to come out with a good option for Wifi-to-IR conversion at a reasonable price with a great iPhone app to go alon. I see that a few options exist but I don't know if they meet this criteria. Back to the point. One thing that would be good for the use case I'm imagining would be quick switching between such remote apps. I don't know if the iPhone/iPad development platform allows this but for me it would be ideal to do it with hotlinks between apps rather than having to exit to the main app screen and pick there (requiring me to keep them sorted carefully for the right grouping, etc). -Jeff -- jdoering jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
