Re: [slim] Smart people will stay with Squeezebox
Almost 6 years ago my favorite radiostation stopped broadcoasting. I bought a Touch and a Nas, ripped al my CD's and discovered new internet radiostations. The Squeezebox is one of my best buys ever and really chanced the way of listening music. I bought 3 radio's, a spare Touch, build a Picoreplayer with Hifiberry and one Pi with Max2Play with Kodi for my kids and LMS as server. All the support from Michael and the guys from Picoreplayer and Max2Play is fantastic! And don't forget all the available plugins. Like frankd i am always wondering why people chance to another system. I'm sure i will use the Squeezebox system as long as possible. johtem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107925 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

bufferThreshold will only be called if your plugin is setup correctly.
Are you sure it is being called ?
For continuous (i.e. not file) streaming a SB player has a threshold -
LMS will send data to player abd player will buffer. Player will only
startplaying when "threshold" has been met. A value of less than 10
usually result in problems. The smaller practical value is about 50.
Delays in playing can depend on a lots of factors but you have given no
details so without details no real suggestions as I would be here all
night typing. If you are using transcoding (i.e. socketwrapper.exe is
running) on a Windows systems (espec Win8 or later) there can be strange
long delays in inititial stream setup - they vary according to Windows
system configuration.

Re: [slim] Logitech should resurrect squeezebox
I realize I started the latest beat-the-dead-horse topic, but I really think with new sections of walmart and bestbuy dedicated to bluetooth speakers, that connected, syncable speakers are absolutely the next big thing. Even Sonos might be a little ahead of the market right now. Chromecast audio is proving that there's going to be a market for it. All Logitech has to do is come up with another touch-like product that has a LMS built in, get rid of all mysqueezebox.com stuff, and put some weight behind the online streaming companies again (like spotty). I've seen simple bluetooth speakers in the $100-$200 range. Imagine if logitech had in their UE display a particular speaker that connected to wifi, could play any song on amazon or spotify, and if you purchase more than one of them, you can sync them in separate rooms... It's a good idea. Pop a 3.5" headphones and a digial coax or optical port on there, and you've got the next gen squeezebox. 1 Touch 2 Receivers 1 Controller 2 Radios FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Buffer-less or minimal buffer streaming?
I've got an audio feed inside my house that I'd like to stream into the
squeezebox, and I've got that working via a plugin into the squeezebox
(basically it's converting an rtsp stream and pushing it into the LMS) -
the problem is I'd like to get the latency / buffer lag down as low as
possible at the listening end, and I'm not sure how to convince the
system to do so. The latency from the streaming is sub-second right now
as measured at the LMS machine and my ill-timed listening, which is
close enough for my purposes. However once I push the stream out to the
squeezebox devices I end up with the audio getting buffered and delayed
by between 8 and 12 seconds, which is far more than I'd like to deal
with.
I saw a post about bufferThreshold and have been playing with that via
`sub bufferThreshold { }` in my plugin,
and it's clear it's adjusting things, though not having a lot of success
on that front.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to get the buffering
down, while still being able to use the squeezebox end points. What's
the minimal buffering one can get away with on a local network with the
squeezebox?

[slim] Smart people will stay with Squeezebox
A provocative title to counter all the "I will leave the Squeezebox Community" threads. I am really astonished how many people state in this forum that they leave the community and Switch to Sonos and other systems. I will stay with Squeezebox and actually I am buying used equipment for my friends to provide them with the best experience of music ever: in my personal opinion, the Squeezebox experience has never been as good and as cheap as it is now. Let me explain why I prefer squeezebox versus all other solutions on the market: - Software players are available for all major operating systems including android, Mac, Linux, Iphone, Windows... - Many browser software is available on all operating systems (androidk windows, iphone...) - Cost-effective Squeezebox compatible servers are available, e.g Raspberry Pi (even MusicIP works there) - It is compatible to the outside world (e.g. Apple, DLNA, Chromecast) thank to Philippe - Redundant plugins for the shutdown of Mysqueeezebox.com already exist - No worries about the future, (tuninin bv Michael Herger, Shoutcast, Ickstream and more...) - Philippe made our system compatible to the broader outside world: Chromecast, Apple Airplay, DLNA, I have never seene such a compatibility list for any other 3rd party... - all major streaming services are available (I do not use them personally, thus a disclaimer I do not know about the quality of integretaion) - In contrast to many other streaming hardware, you have direct feedback (screens) and interaction possibilities (buttons...) - You can adapt your setup to the smallest detail. - for every problem you find answers in this community or even software, workarounds, bugfixes... I struggle to see the reason why people leave this community - nothing has changed, all is better than ever...

Re: [slim] Browsing folders with visible album covers
In the web GUI, if you select within "Genres" or "Years" then the last entry on the list says "All Albums". Click on it and you can browse that genre or year by album cover: show "Large Artwork" and sort however you like. I've often thought it would be more useful if the "All Albums" (or "All Album Covers") link came up at the top of the list rather than the end.

Using LMS to resize artwork is enforced when running LMS in --nomysqueezebox mode. Therefore it's little surprising they behave the same.
