Re: [slim] Devices only will connect to wireless from certain modems

2021-02-15 Thread Drpsyche2


What is the make and model of your device? I might suggest something, if
I knew the model. Also, mind that squeezeboxes do not use N for wi-fi.
So make sure to check your router settings for this. Anyway, there's
always an option to add an external router to your modem.

Have you tried the 3.5mm socket out of the Joggler?
While not fantastic sound it might be good enough ... especially as it
only needs a cable.

I have booted Joggler from a USB stick attached via a powered USB 2 hub
and connected a DAC to the same hub and it all worked.
However, I might have been lucky.

[slim] I think my SliMP3 just died

2021-02-15 Thread Gingermagic


Hi All,

Yesterday, my wife told me about really bad playback on the kitchen
system.

At first, I assumed it was down to the Joggler that I added a few weeks
ago, as that's the newest piece of kit, but that seemed fine and the
playback was still awful when using the SliMP3 alone.

I switched the SliMP3 with my SqueezeBox2, and that worked fine. So,
I've narrowed things down to the SliMP3.

There could be a power issue (the SqueezeBox2 adaptor will power the
SliMP3, but the SliMP3 adaptor won't power the SqueezeBox2), but it
seems to turn on fine with its own adaptor.

When I put the SliMP3 what the SqueezeBox2 came from, I can't get any
sound out at all. All looks well, but just silence.

So, my choices are to either buy a replacement Squeeze device, or buy a
DAC for the Joggler.

I don't have a very impressive sound system, so a cheap(ish) DAC should
do me.

If that's my best option, my questions are:
  
- Do any of the cheaper DAC's output to RCA cables, or do I need to
  get an adaptor to feed the RCA's into a 3.5mm socket?
- I boot from USB. If I buy a USB splatter, to enable the use of the
  DAC, will booting from USB still work?
- Will all of this be fine, or is it asking a Joggler to do too much?
  

Thanks,
Damian

I don't actually know the answer to this, but I've never seen more than
four pages of history. That suggests the limit is around 200 entries.


Correct. And that value can be adjusted in the plugin's settings.

If you aren't familiar with Planet Pootwaddle

https://planetpootwaddle.com/

Now, if you give it a listen, and you think "what the???..." just give
it a bit of time. I really like how they put a group of songs together,
either of the same artist, or related artists or subjects. There is alot
of bizarre stuff mixed in, but I like bizarre :p

Here's the stream url (at least the one I am using)

Re: [slim] Boom Radio

2021-02-15 Thread Redrum


hey! I'm a boomer!

Will check out your offering chill, thanks...

Since you started this thread... I recently stumbled on a set of
"classic rock" stations that are actually much better and deeper (songs
and versions you don't usually hear) than typical classic rock. They are
associated with the St Louis (Mo, USA) Classic Rock preservation
society. Check out their website for the stations and current playlist.
Pretty diverse

https://stlouisclassicrock.com/

There are some "programs" and a few announcements, but in general zero
commercials or interruptions. Pretty good quality streams. I have been
spinning them a bit, they all have different characteristics (e.g.
crestwood is more softer california rock)

I went into the page source and extracted the stream urls. You can do
that as well, or, if you like I can post them, let me know if
interested.

Jim

Indeed - the problem with most radio stations.  I much prefer to let
DSTM do its thing via Spotify, based on a few seed tracks.

I just found it on TuneIn and the track playing had the metadata
Deep Purple - Nino Tempo
First thought was I have never heard of a Deep Purple track called Nino
Tempo. It turned out to be a track called Deep Purple by Nino Tempo
[emoji3]. What do they have on their playlist? I hope that isn't
representative.

No, not some weird mashup of Logitech products, but a 'new radio
station' (https://www.boomradiouk.com/) in the UK aimed at the boomer
generation.  Launched yesterday.  Plenty of DJs that boomers will
remember from their youth - David Hamilton, Nicky Horne, Graham Dene,
Les Ross 

There's a 128kbps MP3 stream at
