Re: [slim] Linux help... using rsync
I've done something similar in the past to back up the Music directory on my Linux based server (which I use to run SqueezeCenter) to the external USB drive connected to my Windows desktop. 1. Share the folder from your Windows machine. 2. Mount this to your Linux box mount.cifs //192.168.0.10/Slimserver /homerdrive/Slimserver -o user=nolan 3. Perform the rsync. The --delete flag also replicates deletions from the source. rsync -ar /home2/Slimserver/* /homerdrive/Slimserver --modify-window=10 --delete --progress 192.168.0.10 is my Windows machine and /homerdrive/Slimserver is the mount point for the Windows share I have created on my Linux machine. I'm doing something sightly different now as I bought a 1TB WD Netbook (as sold by PC World for £150) which after a few simple hacks turns into a tiny Linux server so my Windows box isn't involved any more but this backup method worked fine when I was doing it. -- nolan nolan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46883 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Best Way to Globally customise menus

[slim] Audioengine 5 Query
I've just received an pair of Audioengine 5 speakers in the UK (purchased from Ecodigital) I'm very happy with the appearance and sound quality when playing but I have a niggling issue in that the speaker housing the amplifier emits a faint buzzing sound which is noticeable when between tracks or when not listening to anything. The buzzing is not affected by the volume control on the speakers and doesn't seem to be coming from the driver units, more like it's coming from the amplifier circuit. It is also the same whether a squeezebox or iPod is plugged in (or nothing plugged in at all).I can hear it from my desk about 6' away so it's an annoyance when not listening. Has anyone else heard this, is it likely to be a faulty unit or some kind of environmental issue? It's a full UK unit btw and was supplied with a UK plug and preset to 240v. I've mailed Audioengine to get their thoughts but thought I would see if anyone had experienced similar.

Re: [slim] Audioengine 5 Query
Thanks for the replies so far. I went for the Audioengines as this they are for an additional Squeezebox in an office room where I wanted something compact that would sound reasonable and I have seen some very positive reviews of them. I don't expect them to be as good as my main Squeezebox setup which features a Mission Cyrus 2 + PSX and Quad 11L2 speakers. I too was slightly dissapointed when I discovered they only featured a 1/8 jack input and I would rather they also had phono plugs so save using an adaptor to atatch the squeezebox. I am happy with the sound quality for the price but one thing I can't stand is any kind of hum so it looks like I'll be contacting the retailer tomorrow so see if they are prepared to swap them or offer a refund. Thanks Kyle for the feedback, it's good to hear they don't all do this and the noise is distinct from the hiss heard with the volume at max. I'm mailed Audioengine themselves but they haven't got back to me. I'll see what the Ecodigital have to say tomorrow.

I think it would be very valuable for situations like the thread starter has experienced or simply for when someone wants to reinstall their server or migrate it to a different machine. A lot of pain goes into getting the settings exactly right and it's always frustrating to lose them. Surely a backup option within the web gui is the way to go with an option to download or import a settings backup file?

A lot of my listening is via Spotify these days so I appreciate the plugins that allow me to cast content from my iPhone, it works perfectly. nolan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7440 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
Re: [slim] Say Goodbye to iPeng Classic (for iPhone)
Wow, good times, thanks for all the effort you have put in. I must have used all the Peng versions and it's still my main way of playing music, maybe 60% iPeng and 40% via spotify and airplay bridge. Did you mention a new version soon? I'd be happy to pay some more for a new version with iPhone X support. nolan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108305 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
