Touch runs a cut down LMS as a server to fit memory and processor power.

The Touch as a server is possibly OK with an attached USB stick or SD card with a very small library. (Try it). Attaching a 2TB drive with even a moderate size library will end in tears, the Touch doesn't have the guts, constantly crashing and then needs to re-scan the music files which can take hours, you wouldn't be able to play music during the scan.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as a Server?
Just saw this here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Touch_as_a_Home_Music_Server "Currently, there are no concrete recommendations regarding the maximum number of tracks in the music library supported by the Squeezebox Server built-in for Touch. However, a general rule of thumb is that a music library containing over 10,000 tracks should use Squeezebox Server running on a PC or Mac. It might work on the Touch, but performance could be less than desirable." I guess as my database has about 80,000 tracks running LMS on the Touch will be a non-starter. muso developer 4 x SB3, 3 x SBB, 1 x SBT jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112539 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Thanks Paul, I know the URL's, got them from RP's site, but the challenge (i.e. what I don't know how, or if it's possible) is how to enter a URL as a favorite in TinyLMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as a server?
Everyone, thanks for your help. I went to my friend's and we setup the touch with tinylms last night. It went well, I think this is really going to work for him. I do appreciate the guidance. One remaining thing is porting the favorites from mysqueezebox.com to tinyLMS. We plan on doing it the manual way (in lms find the station, then add it), but I am wondering if anything can be done for those that can't be found, in terms of somehow manually adding a url? For example, the RP 320kbps streams, I know that the main mix can be obtained via "Radio"->"Search" but I'd like to add the other streams, and as expected, I can't find them in "Radio", and there is no RP plugin for TinyLMS. Any thoughts? Where is "Radio" pulled from? I hate to be a bother, especially since tiny is in everyone's tail lights (legacy). If it's not possible, that's fine. When he goes to "favorites" in tinyLMS, there is an option to switch to favorites in mysb.com. Simple enough, but I thought I would check before we call it done.

Some I added to mysb.com via a url (e.g. the 320kbps Radio paradise - Normal, Mellow, Rock, Eclectic). I tried the switch to mysb.com, play favorite, go back to LMS, and the service switch wipes "now playing" (i.e - switch back to lms, now playing is the previous now playing LMS). So, I guess it comes down to this: 1) Is there a way to enter a url radio stream in tinyLMS? 2) Is there a way to manipulate favorites.opml from LMS to TinyLMS? (AB, I did not try SSH, I can, but have never done it, and would need to load sw to try it) 3) Just stay with mysb.com for some of his favorites (i.e. the ones that "radio" or "tune in" or... cannot locate) Unless there is a break through I will try to add as many mysb favorites to touch favorites as I can, and he will have to go to mysb.com for those I cannot find through radio or other. Please understand I am not trying to push TinyLMS into what it is not. I know it's limited. I am using regular LMS. I am not asking the community for more than it is, rather "what is it, what can it do?". It's for my (non technical and short attention span) friend, Touch with a USB stick is such a perfect solution, essentially, the USB stick has the music library. The touch with a USB drive is a "self contained" player of internet radio and music files. He doesn't have to grasp "server and player". We were there and he struggled with it.

I have played around quite a bit and only see the ability to add them through the UI, and in a list only. If that's the way it is, that's ok, just curious. Also, I am not sure if tiny LMS is still being maintained, but I think I found a tiny insignificant bug - I added "switch to mysqeezebox.com" to the home menu (convenience for my friend), and moved it's position on the home menu. As with the current version of my LMS (PiCore) if you select it, the menu item disappears (as expected). However, with tinyLMS, if you go back to LMS (say by choosing "my music"), when you return to the home menu, when the "switch to" menu item comes back, it is positioned under my music in the list. It moves I tested it on my LMS and this "movement" of the menu item does not happen, it reappears in whatever position it is moved to. Like I said, insignificant, but I thought I would mention it in case someone is still maintaining it.

Yea, I realize it's not ideal, but if you go back to my first post, its for a friend who has simple expectations, and has a difficult time grasping what is going on behind the scenes (i.e. "why do I need my laptop on?" - to run LMS). I had thought of building hime a picore with a usb HDD as a server (what I an using), but I feared him having to do anything through the ip address configuration screens, and why not save a couple $. It seems with tinysc/touch, anything I have to talk him through over the phone will be exclusively on the touch. If it does crash, even if he trashes the sd/usb, he can listen to mysb.com until we get things fixed. I'll have him keep a backup image of the usb on his pc. He has been enjoying SB exclusively with mysb.com, and now we want to add his music library, so we'll see how it goes. I do appreciate the note that you can access the sd/usb with other players, but this will be one player only. One thing I was looking for, haven't found via search yet, I saw a reference to samba transfer of files to the sd/usb on the touch, but I haven't yet found how to initiate it on the touch side of things.

Curious, with touch as a server, would the option to switch to mysb.com still be available on the menus? This would address the https streaming. No, it would not, as mysb can't stream those either. Rescan is not an issue, but the "random crashes" are concerning to me (my friends inability to tolerate, restart things). Do they "just happen" or is it when you try to do too much?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as a server?
I have been working on a sb setup for a friend who is not only not techie, he can react poorly to anything complicated or things not working as expected. Combine that with distance and infrequent short visits, its been a challenge. We went through a few iterations of extra players I had on hand (duet, radio), and have now settled on a touch as his best solution for a number of reasons (visibility primarily) We have him listening to internet radio, pandora, etc on mysb.com. I installed LMS on his laptop, but he is yet to grasp the differences/advantage of lms over mysb.com, and often his laptop isn't on, or around, and this causes confusion. He wants to add his digital music, and I had planned on helping him add it to lms on his PC, but since he doesn't really understand why lms is there, I had been thinking maybe my best route would be to build him a picore server with a USB HDD (my current setup). So he would have a "thingie" plugged into his router, and his player would work. But, then I stumbled across this - touch as a server: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Touch_as_a_Home_Music_Server My question - is this still a legitimate an up to date method of providing him with an "all in one" server/player? I ask because sometimes wiki articles can be old and irrelevant, and sb's are ever evolving... Before I go about giving it a try I thought I would ask. Basically, if I haven't made myself clear in my ramble above, I am looking to give him a self contained system, even if its limited (i.e. doesn't have the full features of lms, plugins, etc). He is happy with internet radio and pandora, and I think he would be happy with just playing his library, random mix, etc. Oh, one other thing, the touch would need to be on wifi. Not sure if there is an ethernet requirement. Thoughts?

I guess from where I sit the 9 Watts is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things and it is my opinion that powering down and powering up (and the scanning that goes along with that) is harder on the drive then just leaving it running 24/7 in a stable state. Just my opinion YMMV. The part I was talking about being unhappy with is how TinySC deals with USB Drives that like to sleep, spin down, or are external powered and power is removed and/or reapplied.

I use the Touch with attached HDD mostly on weekends and holidays so I eject the HDD but leave the Touch running on mysqueezebox.com to listen to internet radio. Once its attached I usually leave it connected for a few days. To re-attach the drive I first start TinySC and when it asks for a USB or SD card I attach the drive. Re-scan doesn't take very long after the initial full scan. Sometimes it's a hit and miss situation, at times I have to reboot the Touch before re-attaching the drive.

As long as you can configure those settings in a different way (using the controller, via ssh etc etc) the Touch could work for me. The Sheevaplug is great, but is hard wired to the router, which is not connected to the Internet (basically I've a dedicated network) and so I can't stream radios, or even run the software update.

Its a piece of cake to change the network in linux so I presume it is so in the Touch. The Touch has a network configuration page where you can enter the IP address, subnet, gateway etc. I presume this changes a file and restarts networking on the fly. If you are using DHCP you should just be able to physically connect to the different network and restart the network which should renegotiate DHCP with the new router.

Maybe more accurately stated as Touch's server can only stream files that your players can play natively. Touch will stream anything that doesn't require transcoding for a particular player.
