> And what level of Slimserver? If you mean the version, I used 6.5 in that mentioned case. When trying to look up "Information" on a Squeezebox to find out the version information for what I tried last (imho 6.5.1), slimserver died immediately.
> it puts a lot more effort into finding and interpreting tags As I said the tags are all following the standards. ID3v1 can be found at position filesize-128 and ID3v2 can be found at position 0 in all my files. So actually it needs no effort to find them, they're in the most standard position. > A very common problem is to have tag3v1 and v2 tags with different information That's a problem? Well, it happens only for half a dozen albums, where the name is longer than 30 characters; there I took the liberty to adjust the ID3v1 album name to something more useful than just a cut version. Oh, and genres of course - ID3v2 just offers way more default genres as well as custom genres. If you say a difference there is a "problem", you're saying that people should nto use the features of ID3v2 because that would cause a difference, and that would be silly ;) > This is hard to detect because most programs will show you the v2 tag and ignore the v1 Well, WinAmp shows both, and for editing I use ID3Tag and my own software, which also both show both tags. I don't need to detect it though, since in some cases it's wanted! And for all other cases, see my comments above, I used my own software to improve tags, which includes synching ID3v1 and ID3v2 where the difference is not intended. > you can turn on debug options from the command line Have you ever tried to type -slimserver --help-? Exactly! So I actually can't turn it on - I could only if I knew how, that's why I asked ;) > or the web interface The init.d script from the now dead apt repository seems not to be compatible with the standard debian package; it will cause a slimserver and slimserver_safe to run, but doesn't react on port 9000 at all. > you can download the latest nightly Even 6.5 and 6.5.1 depend on libyaml-syck-perl, which is not available in Debian PowerPC stable. Since then, every time I want to use apt, I have to remove slimserver to get rid of those dependencies, then reinstall it afterwards. Well, back to the problem: I spent another hour getting the Debian clean again (you know - the new Debian packages with their dependency hurting apt) and trying to install the SOAP::Lite perl module, which a --d_9 (the only debug-similar thing I found) showed to be missing. I'll have to spend another hour (another hour I don't really have) to finish this just to get it back running, which'll mean at least 4 hours wasted because they deleted the apt repository. Well maybe I should just put wires everywhere and get some Rokus :-/ -- Blubbels ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blubbels's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6728 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18586 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
