Re: [slim] Transporter Bitrate Question
Can we start again? You had 2 questions: 1) Why is the bitrate reported as lower than you think it should be - answer: by default FLAC is used as the streaming transport protocol to the player and that needs less bits than wav/pcm. It is still perfect fidelity. Forget about it. 2) Why does Replaygain information show up on the screen? - answer: the files you are playing have replaygain tags associated with them. They were put there by iTunes. If you have the adjust volume options turned off (settings - player - audio) they do nothing at all. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

When I play one of the songs within the Squeezebox Web Console and look at the Song Info while it's playing I see the following info listed below: Bitrate: 1411kbps CBR (Converted to 705.6kbps ABR) Who can tell me the reason why the song appears to be down converted while playing? Is this a product of i-Tunes over stating the actual Bitrate to 1411kbps and the True Bitrate is actually 705.6kbps? Also, on some songs I see a combination of the info listed above as well as this info below regarding the Volume: Volume Adjustment: -5.49 dB (this value fluctuates up or down with the highest value observed so far as being -11.xx db) Is this Volume Adjustment a product of the recording studio or something that the Transporter is doing? I have the Transporter hard set to %100 volume at all times within the Audio Settings page. My fear is that I am losing Dynamic Range and sound quality as a result of this Bitrate Volume adjustment behavior. Is there a way to avoid this from happening? Would keeping all music in the Transporters native .flac format prevent this behavior? I'm wondering if by having these songs in .WAV format and forcing the Transporter to use some other, none native codec it is causing me to miss out on all the Bits I'm entitled to hear. Thanks for any info you can provide 1) ignore the ABR bitrate figure - it is completely meaningless. Nothng is being downconverted. 2) you must have the iTunes volume levelling set, as that is the ONLY way that volume meta tags can be added to your files. SBS reacts to these tags. You can turn this behaviour OFF at play time via the Settings - Player - Audio ... volume adjustment in the Web UI.

Re: [slim] SB vs. server decoding and other conundrums...
pipetman;543049 Wrote: Just got my SB Touch (and love it) and was excited to play some hi-res files through it. Like many others I experienced some stuttering when beginning to play 24/96 flac files and looking into the issue I came up scratching my head about a few things: - By default flac files are decoded by the SB. Apparently that can be changed via the file type settings in the server configuration page. But those options leave me a bit confused (and I couldn't come up with a wiki page explaining those). Under FLAC the following is set: FLAC - Native (Native/Disabled) MP3 - Disabled (field greyed-out) PCM - flac (flac/Disabled) So, I'm not sure what the different fields are for and what kind of effect I would see when selecting Disabled. And how do I turn on server-side decoding via this dialog? - I also played some 24/192 files. What happens to those, as the Touch only plays 24/96 natively? Are they downsampled to 24/96 or to 16/44.1? Is there any way to check what bit-depth/sample rate is actually playing through the Touch? Thanks! It's simple...and complicated. By default, FLAC is sent as FLAC to the Touch and decoded there - that's the FLAC/Native entry If you set FLAC/Disabled then one of the other entries will be used (MP3 or PCM) If PCM is enabled that will be used (FLAC converted to PCM on the server and sent as PCM to the Touch). If PCM and FLAC are both disabled, FLAC is converted to MP3 via LAME (which needs to be installed specially - that's why it's greyed-out on your setup at the moment). If all 3 are disabled nothing will play! If you play a 24/192 flac, it is converted via SOX on the server to 24/96 flac (176.4 is converted to 88.2) - you can't change this directly via Settings, it requires editing of the custom-convert.conf file. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Should it be allowed to add a complete genre, album or artist or should it only allow adding single random tracks ? Or shouldn't it be possible to modify the current playlist at all ? I suspect the problem with this is that it's going to affect the core code which makes it more or less impossible to do with a plugin. One thing that I think would be possible to do as a plugin is a undo playlist change functionality that makes it possible to restore a previous playlist. However, I'm not really sure if this would be good enough on a party, to me it feels like you want to catch it before it has actually has modified the playlist. One thing that might be possible is to re-define the play command so it performs add instead, but I'm not sure if that will make it too problematic to use the device ? I'm guessing you probably want it to execute play if the user selects a playlist but add if he selects a track ?

Re: [slim] Synchronize Volume farce
cidlockie;533666 Wrote: I'm at the end of my tether here, I hope someone can help. My situation is this: I have an SB Duet in one room and an SB Radio in the other. Using Syncronisation I have managed to get the same music coming out of both. The problem I have is with the volume syncronisation settings. No matter how I change the settings I am left with the same ludicrous situation: *the volume knob on the SB Radio changes the volume of the SB Duet, but not the SB Radio itself*. Currently, I cannot change the volume output of the SB Radio at all. The situation I want is that the volume of the SB Duet is controlled by the controller, and the volume of the SB Radio is controlled by the know on the SB Radio. I do not need them to have their volume syncronised in any way. Can anyone tell me how the settings should be to achieve this? If so, many thanks in advance.

cliveb;533363 Wrote: Thanks to everyone for their suggestions (guesses?) I was hoping that what needs to be done is to switch on the appropriate debug logging. What I'm unclear about is how that is done. Do I just do it via the Squeezecenter web interface (Settings Advanced Logging)? And if so, which ones would people suggest might be worth switching on? Does Squeezecenter need to be restarted after changing a log level? Mind you, they are all set to error anyway, and presumably a segfault is at least an error - but I see nothing in the logs corresponding to the times of the segfaults. My guess is that the segfault just kills the process, and it never gets a chance to write a log entry. It's obvious from dmesg that whatever is crashing has a different process ID each time. Anyone here know what daily procedures Squeezecenter performs that it does by forking? That would at least narrow it down. I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and set debugging level to DEBUG - very verbose, but it will trap things happening at the same time as your seg fault.

I gave it a few days just to make sure i wasnt being unfair but the SB software is absolutely dismal. the hardware is first class probably the best out there but it is horribly let down with its software. even playing with the moose interface is awful. its just slow and clunky to use. they have a great product here which could be so much better its a shame. there is no way i could live with that software I have just uninstalled the lot, squeezecentre, squeezeplay and moose. as good as the hardware is because of the software it is not for me, I will wait for an alternative.

Out of curiousity I downloaded the demo version of AlbumPlayer - here are my initial impressions (which are obviously skewed by the fact I am not familiar with the software!) 1) took 45 minutes+ to scan in my 32k Track database + about 15 more minutes to finish off gathering the artwork from my cover.jpg files - so about half the speed of 7.5Embedded on the same machine. CPU was pretty 50% pegged during this time (single core machine). 2) No handling of multi-disc sets 3) search/filter function works on songs or artist or album titles - but not across all 3 at once. However, it does use progresive keystroke matching (like MusicIP). Partially because of the progressive matching, the searching is extremely quick - a few milliseconds after your last keystroke, compared to about a second on SBS 4) No integration with MIP that I could yet find (?) 5) the browse lists are horrible - well, the lists are OK but the scrolling gives me a headache as it jerks around - it's hard to explain in words what it does but I don't like it. 6) The app has a slightly Windows Media Player ish feel to it 7) the inbuilt tag editing is... dangerous 8) The artist browse supports artist artwork, which is nice, although I don't want to be reminded what a lot of 60's rock bands actually looked like :-) All in all, it looks like a nice app if you like the Windows highly graphical approach. It is quick (but does anyone really need that speed? - I like to relax when listening to music...) Of course,the lack of MIP, multi-room sync, dependency on a Windows PC etc make it a rather different sort of application. Just thought I'd offer an alternate view...

Re: [slim] Repeating Songs

Re: [slim] playlist woes
Your example #3 doesn't require a playlist - just make sure the album title tag is identical for all album discs in a set and set a DISCNUMBER tag (1,2,3 etc) then set the option in the web ui to group multi-disc sets together - rescan and...it will work fine. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Re: [slim] What's the best file format to use

Re: [slim] My fridge makes my speakers pop...
thurstongarden;520141 Wrote: Thanks for the replies. The fridge is brand new and belongs to the landlord. I imagine it is on the same electrical circuit as my amp etc in the same room. It's a 240v system (in the UK) and I cannot really alter it as it's not mine. I am hoping only to rent for 12 months and thought I could get something to plug between the fridge and the wall outlet to suppress the spike? If it's radio then I might have to encase the fridge in swathes of aluminium foil OK - STOP! The pop is caused by faulty suppression capacitor (normally a Y-Capacitor) on the compressor in the fridge itself. This is a specialised item. The lack of a working capacitor causes an RFI spike which is airborne and not carried by the mains wiring, hence a mains supressor on your hi-fi won't stop it. The fridge is faulty (even if it is brand new) and you should tell your landlord, as the compressor needs to have a working capacitor by UK law (Wireless Telegraphy act I think) to prevent interference with TV and Radio signals. There is also an outside possibility that the earth wiring may not be to standard... If it was me for my own peace of mind I'd get one of those plug in mains testers (that look like a 3-pin plug with lights on the back) and make sure the earth tests ok - if it doesn't, escalate to Landlord immediately. If the earth is OK, then tell Landlord that there is a problem with the fridge. Either way, you need to get your landlord to do something.
