Bugzilla – Bug 6495
slimserver is unnecessary, device menu is difficult

There is direct streaming option for those items I tune in in my mac's web interface of slimserver. That save bandwidth. In some case even though the radio buffer is skipping/flickring after closing down my macbook pro. I found no options to download the playlist to Squeezebox. The radio stations works anyway with slimserver... That would be nice to separate these tune in radios from itunes-mac handling, which require macbook or appleTv anyway. At least some animation to squeezebox, when I press a remote button. Now play and power feels responseless. A blinking red for remote in the next version would do... So I propose instead of connecting slimnetwork and slimserver separately, connect them both and hide these details to the end user. Whichever is available offer it from menu. Also Slimserver direct-(web)streamable options should be available offline, e.g. without slimserver Thx. (V) ps.: Make the on the fly decoding on mac more easier, I think I installed lame(finder able to find and start it), but web interface says a note, that is not installed. I also not able to listen to AAC+ radios so far. (I installed the box yesterday)
Since you haven't specified version of slimserver, I'll assume that you haven't checked out SqueezeCenter 7 for the current level of SC/SN integration.
Please try out version 7 of SqueezeCenter.

Please note, that download link for 7 is broken on a Macbook Pro under Firefox browser. It download, but it won't open from the downloads. Other dmgs worked for Firefox. Safari download of squeezecenter 7 interrupting 6.5.4 slimserver & squeezebox if safari is not in foreground. Slimserver replace is in progress...
Created attachment 2594 [details] Activation mail failed The best activation mail I ever laugh on
I tried now. I have to reset my router. Music is played, but macbook and my desktop xp failed to connect to wlan AP, which they just browsed a minutes ago just fine... If you connect beta network and use web interface on mac to play a station, that last request ignored and box remain in connect to beta state. There is still two separate things and menus. Network beta and slimserver. That cause trouble to follow where I am for simple users like me. The failed activation is a kind of joke... for S7, see the attached screenshot
M. Denever: are you still having issues with 7.x? If not, I would like to close this bug.
