[slim] Is SqueezePlay still under development?
I get much of the third party stuff and all the little bits of abandoned Squeeze software mixed up and really haven't been paying much attention in recent years. I often use SqueezePlay and LMS to play music on my Windows machines. If anyone is still developing this, or has an interest in doing so, one small request I have is an option to minimize the program to the system tray on Windows, so that it doesn't take up a place on the taskbar, and would more-or-less run in the background.

Re: [slim] Streaming radio doesn't play on Transporter
Re-examining this... (I just gave up last year.) Here is the radio stream I'm trying to play on the Transporter, but get no audio.

Maybe someone else could try it? http://kuvo-ice.streamguys.org/kuvo-aac-128 Web page: 'KUVO 89.3 Denver' (https://www.kuvo.org/ways-to-listen/) It plays on my SB Radio, apparently natively.

[slim] Streaming radio doesn't play on Transporter
My main stereo system with a Transporter was down for a while as my preamp was being repaired. Today I noticed that streaming radio doesn't play on the Transporter. The only other Squeezebox set up in my house right now is a Radio, and streaming radio plays fine on it. I've tried both direct streaming and proxied streaming settings for the Transporter and neither one plays. On the server, the progress bar moves, I get feedback like covers and track info. On the Transporter I see track info, but the VU meters don't show anything playing.

Re: [slim] Windows player?
The web interface (HTTP) usually runs on port 9000. If you've changed that (say, to port 80) then it won't matter to SqueezePlay, as it doesn't use HTTP. The -only- way I'd consider port forwarding to LMS through a home firewall is if it's restricted to a single remote IP address, and you know that address isn't being shared and it doesn't change. I used to connect remotely from my office to my home LMS server, and only forwarded connections from the one public address that my work PC was tied to.

Re: [slim] Blank screen when turned off
Here's what I'd do, short of reinstalling everything from scratch (actually, it should be pretty much the same thing): - While LMS is running, go the Settings > Information page in the web interface. - Note the players listed on this page and find the MAC Addresses of the two players. Write them down. You'll need this if you have any other players or software players on your network. - Find the folder containing your LMS server configuration - the "prefs" folder - which contains the server.prefs file. This should be shown near the bottom of the same Settings > Information page. - Also, find the folder and the file containing your SuperDateTime screensaver settings. Should also be a .prefs file. - Shut down LMS. - Delete the SuperDateTime .prefs file. - Open the LMS server.prefs file and completely remove the settings sections for both players. - Restart LMS. - Reconfigure the players and the SuperDateTime screensaver from scratch. The player settings are listed in server.prefs with headers that look like (with the MAC addresses of your players): _client:00:04:20:05:d0:d4: Delete the header and everything under that header that is indented, down to the next _client entry, or to the next line that is not indented.

How fast is your internet connection's upload speed and how much music data do you currently have? You should run some tests that last at least a few hours to gauge the true upload speed. You might also find that Amazon doesn't accept the data at anywhere near your connection speed. If Amazon does let you upload at full speed, keep in mind that you don't want to completely swamp your upstream connection with this upload.

IMO. After that, most people might buy one CD or a few CDs each week. Losing the work involved to rip, say, a dozen CDs, because you only do off-site backups once a month, isn't a giant inconvenience. And the chances of that happening, because you've lost both your main library and your on-site backup, should be extremely small. While you're ripping your library you could manually run your backup to a local disk daily or even a couple times a day (it wouldn't really need to be 'manual' - you can easily schedule it to run). The most you'd lose if your main library was lost is a day's work. Then, create/update an off-site backup once a month, if that. Online backups of large media libraries are nice in theory, but in practice they don't always work very well. It can take days, weeks, even -months- to backup a large library given internet connection speeds available to most homes. Then there's the issue of restoring your library if anything goes wrong, which could again take many days to get things back.

Re: [slim] 24bit 96 khz flac support?
What actually happens during playback? Do you get noise or nothing at all? In the web interface, does the progress bar advance or stay at zero? Is there any possibility that the Odroid just doesn't have the horsepower to transcode and re-sample those files?

Not sure why it would try multiple times on a single file (even though I always found that transcoding logging to be nearly indecipherable), but just checking to see whether the flac and sox binary executables are installed sounds like a very good idea.

Re: [slim] 24bit 96 khz flac support?
I'm playing an album in 24/96 on my Transporter right now and it's being downsampled. If you want to debug it a little you can enable debugging for conversions from the web interface by going to: Settings > Advanced > Logging > (player.source) - Player Source Audio & Conversion Logging and seetting it to 'Debug'. When I do that, I see this in my log file: [16-02-08 16:21:45.5661] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand2 (446) Matched: flc->flc via: [flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 $RESAMPLE$ - This means it's using the Flac program to decode the flac file and then SoX to re-sample and re-encode.

Re: [slim] The Demise of the Transporter
To be honest, the Transporter was an inside joke by Sean Adams, who
chuckled under his breath at audiophiles and the little rarefied world
that they live in. He designed a very nice sounding device, and gave it
an arbitrary price tag. ("Hey Tony, how does $1000 sound? That's
expensive, right?" "Nah, why don't you make it $2000?" "Sure. What the
hell.")
Transporter was never where Logitech wanted to take the product line.
They were hoping for something more mainstream, but could never quite
make that happen financially. If they could have sold a device for $99,
then Squeezebox might still be alive. Unfortunately, they inherited
(bought, actually) an ecosystem that was extremely expensive to
maintain, and way more rickety than they'd hoped.
Forensically, their problem was that they hired a lot guys who
understood the hardware, audio and networking sides of things, but they
pretty thoroughly fucked up the data modeling and (to a lesser extent)
the user interface. If Logitech had immediately made the decision to
port the software to a native Windows application and knocked out a
device for $99, I guarantee the Squeezebox would still be alive today.

Unfortunately, the software is both the Squeezebox's strength and its Achille's heel. Its support costs are astronomical and sink any chance of profit unless the price were raised substantially. Just about the only way I could see it becoming a practical retail product would be if you produced the server hardware and completely dropped any notion of running the software on umpteen releases of Windows and Mac OS X and random distros of Linux. That server hardware could be a standalone non-playing server, or it might be a server running on a Squeezebox player, ala Sonos and TinySBS on the Touch. I don't know how reasonable either would be, as I see both being fairly expensive propositions that would take the Squeezebox system into new territory price-wise and therefore market-wise.

Depends on exactly what you're trying to do and how you intend to do it. Are the five Touches going to be located in the central location, or each one in each room? Seems to me that you'd want them in the rooms unless you plan on only controlling them remotely. (If I were going to locate them centrally, where the display can't be viewed and the touchscreen can't be used, I would use something like the Raspberry Pi instead of the Touch, for probably less than 1/4th the cost.) If the Touches were located in the rooms, wiring with a central amplifier (lets say it's in the basement) might be a little awkward, as the signal would have to run from the room (the Touch) down to the basement amplifier, then back up to the room's speakers. In that setup, an amp in the room would make more sense. It might also alleviate the need for a separate volume control in the room.

Re: [slim] OT - old-fashioned motherboards
Yes, that's exactly where I was going. What is the motherboard and CPU that you currently have? I think your best bet to do it inexpensively would be to find a used motherboard of the same model for sale on ebay or similar. Otherwise, you may have to replace the CPU and the memory, maybe the video card, and possibly even the power supply as well. Searching 'Newegg' (http://newegg.com), there are four Intel CPU based motherboards that have IDE (PATA) ports onboard. Only one has two IDE ports, so the rest would only support two IDE devices. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=280&N=17627%20600029944%20600029945&IsNodeId=1&IsPowerSearch=1 And five AMD based boards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=22&N=17625%20600029948&IsNodeId=1&IsPowerSearch=1 I think they all have at least one PCI slot as well.

Re: [slim] If CD won't rip is it grounds for return?
I doubt that any retailers would allow you to return a CD if you claimed you "couldn't rip it". You could try claiming that it would play and seeing if they'll exchange it for another copy. Few, if any, places will give you a refund for a CD or DVD that can easily be copied.

You keep making this about you. The point you can't seem to get through your head is that people are past caring about you or your problems. They care about what happened to the community Squeezebox project, and what issues are keeping it from happening.

I would assume the USB storage isn't usable from the Squeezebox player software that they have installed, only from their standard player software. As you say, that would also require the internal computer to be running LMS. This is the only mention of LMS from the BDP-2 manual.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox 2015 - Is the Squeezebox Universe Expanding of Shrinking?
For Bryston, installing Squeezelite, which they didn't pay a penny to develop, on the BDP-2, with its bog-standard motherboard running Linux, is a pretty low risk proposition. They didn't develop the system to be a Squeezebox emulator; it's an afterthought. It may generate a few additional support calls from their clientele, but they're charging $3000 for the thing, which doesn't even contain a DAC, so they can afford the support.
