I sometimes have a problem connecting SlimServer to my Squeezebox. Here is my setup:
1. SlimServer 6.5.4 running on a Windows XP PC 2. Squeezebox hooked to my stereo in the next room 3. Buffalo wireless router Here is the problem...If I use the remote to set the Squeezebox to "SlimServer", then, if I start SlimServer on the PC, I can run the Squeezebox from my PC. However, if the Squeezebox is set (from the remote) to use the SqueezeNetwork, the Squeezebox properly plays internet radio (as it should) through my router, but I cannot seem to get to and/or run the Squeezebox from my PC by running SlimServer. The reason this is a problem is that I am blind and cannot use the remote. Sometimes, someone else sets the Squeezebox to play music via the SqueezeNetwork and leaves it in this state after turning it off. Not being able to use the remote, I try and run SlimServer from my PC in order to control the Squeezebox, but SlimServer will say that my player cannot be found. In this situation I need sighted assistance to use the remote to get the Squeezebox to play through the SlimServer, and then all is fine. Is there some way out of this dilemma - i.e., is there some way I can get the Squeezebox to be run by the SlimServer software from my PC no matter what state it has been left in? Alternately, is there some simple button I can push on the remote in order to get the Squeezebox into a state which will enable it to be run by the SlimServer software? Note: since the menus on the Squeezebox display all wrap around, I can't use these menus reliably without seeing them. Thanks for any help / suggestions. -- Pete -- ptorpey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ptorpey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12072 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40136 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
