Re: [slim] Sychronization with SqueezeCenter 7.0?
I have also posted here due to synchronisation problems with SqueezeCenter 7.0 and have not resolved them, so I would like to establish if there are any similarities. Will the SB3 players synchronise when Softsqueeze isn't running or is powered off? I haven't actually tried Softsqueeze since upgrading to SC7.0, although like yourself, I found that synchronisation between players (up to 3 x SB3) and/or players and Softsqueeze was very good in previous versions of Slimserver (certainly 6.3.1 onwards). What operating system are you running? I have 2 PCs, one running Ubuntu and the other XP. On the Ubuntu machine, the players will sync with no issues if and only if SqueezeCenter has very recently been restarted. If it has been running for anything approaching a day then the players will not sync and I find the same 2 players will be about 1 second out of sync whilst the other is always in excess of 3 seconds. On the XP machine I simply cannot get the players to synchronise at all; restarting SqueezeCenter or rebooting the PC makes no difference and I get similar delays between players as those described above. As you've probably found, most of the questions regarding synchronisation have related to Softsqueeze and there has been very little in the way problems syncing hardware players using SC7.0. One post did however suggest the problem was either overcome or much improved when the lastfm plugin was disabled, so that might be worth trying. -- nwplace nwplace's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46337 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SB3 loses wireless signal, shaking restores it
My parents have an SB3 and lately it's developed an issue where it fall off the wireless network. I found that if I shake it things begin to work again. I go into Current Settings to view the wireless signal strength. When it's off the network the signal strength is 0%, pick it up and hold it, still 0%, give it a shake, 60%+. To try to determine whether or not it's a problem with their wireless router I brought over one of my SB3s and put it in the same location as the other SB3. Mine worked flawlessly, and theirs required the shake at one point. I am pretty confident that their wireless router is working fine (my wifi enabled phone had no issues either). Their SB3 also fails to connect to the network after a firmware upgrade or regular restart. Give it a shake and everything is kosher. I'm not sure what to do, but opinions are wanted. It was a Christmas gift in 2006 so I have a feeling it's out of warranty.

Re: [slim] SB3 loses wireless signal, shaking restores it
At some point after Logitech bought SD they went from a 1-year to a 2-year warranty. I think the 2-year took effect before Christmas 2006, so it probably is still under warranty, unless you do your Christmas shopping really early. Even if it is out of warranty, Logi/SD will do most out-of-warranty repairs for US$90 plus shipping. And, if it's as simple as a loose wireless card in the SB3, you could probably fix it yourself if you're handy with a screwdriver (I think you need a torx).

it seems as though a clean install is helpful on osx. here's instructions from a previous thread on osx problems. To perform a clean installation of our SqueezeCenter software, follow the steps below: 1. First, go to System Preferences, click on SqueezeCenter and click on Stop Server, close System Preferences. 2. Remove any of the following files and folders: - Home Library Application Support SqueezeCenter Folder - Home Library PreferencePanes SqueezeCenter.prefPane - Home Library Caches SqueezeCenter folder - Macintosh HD Library PreferencePanes SqueezeCenter.prefPane (may or may not exist) Next... 3. Reinstall SqueezeCenter from: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html 4. After the install completes, the SqueezeCenter Preference Pane should come up, click on Start Server, then click on Web Access Note: If you click on Web Access and you receive an error, wait a few seconds before you try again as the application may still be starting. 5. SqueezeCenter will start the Setup Wizard and you will have to enter your SqueezeNetwork log in information and specify your Music Library and Playlists folder paths. After that, SqueezeCenter will rescan your music Library. Once SqueezeCenter finishes scanning your music library, verify that everything is working by playing a file.

Re: [slim] MoCA
I haven't been following MoCA, and it seems like there still aren't many products out there.

To me, #1 is a tough one to beat because I have exactly two rooms wired with coax (for tv and internet), compared to every room (and even the backyard) wired with electrical outlets. Someone whose whole house is already wired with coax would likely see things differently. Of course, the big advantage of MoCA would be the throughput capacity. Verizon is offering FIOS in some areas, but I don't know if they're into MoCA at all. Don't put too much stock in my views though.

Re: [slim] SB3 loses wireless signal, shaking restores it
4mula1;292779 Wrote: My parents have an SB3 and lately it's developed an issue where it fall off the wireless network. I found that if I shake it things begin to work again. I go into Current Settings to view the wireless signal strength. When it's off the network the signal strength is 0%, pick it up and hold it, still 0%, give it a shake, 60%+. To try to determine whether or not it's a problem with their wireless router I brought over one of my SB3s and put it in the same location as the other SB3. Mine worked flawlessly, and theirs required the shake at one point. I am pretty confident that their wireless router is working fine (my wifi enabled phone had no issues either). Their SB3 also fails to connect to the network after a firmware upgrade or regular restart. Give it a shake and everything is kosher. I'm not sure what to do, but opinions are wanted. It was a Christmas gift in 2006 so I have a feeling it's out of warranty. Any thoughts? It sounds like the wireless card is loose. You can certainly RMA the unit, but you could--if you're comfortable--open up the case and reseat the wireless card to see if it corrects the problem. It's not that hard, though you have to be careful not to damage the front panel; try heating it with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive before removing it. After that, it's just a couple of screws to get the case open. Take the wireless card out, clean the edge connector, and then reseat the card. If you have it, use compressed air (or a camera lens brush/bulb) to blow out the connector on the SB3 circuit board before reseating the card. -= Jim -- JimC well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that. -- BKlaas' college buddy JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46469 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Lossless audio doesn't get near saturating those bandwidths, and how many people are running multiple HD video streams around the home? 3) the equal-or-better bandwidth with newer homeplug 4) few coax products out there (likely because of #1, #2, #3). -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Using Squeezecenter to Stream Gapless MP3s to Tversity - Can it be done?
I would like to play my lame mp3 files gaplessly on my UPNP appliances (Dlink DSM-320 and GoVideo). Unfortunately, it appears that the UPNP servers do not offer gapless playback, and most of the focus of development is on video. I'm wondering if I could use Squeezecenter to stream my music files (gaplessly), and have Tversity pick up the stream and transmit it to my UPNP appliances just like it was an internet radio signal, although with native high quality bitrate. Can this be done, and if so how?

Hi all, I have noticed the now playing feature and album cover display for the online services is sometimes out of sync. For instance it will say Now Playing - Some artist and show the album cover...the issue is that this song played like 5 min ago and it didnt move on. It usually gets itself back in sync eventually, its just kind of odd and it happens pretty frequently. I believe it happens to pandora, rhapsody and slacker if i remember right.

You'll probably have to stop SqueezeCenter first. I would think a 28GB log is pretty unlikely unless you've raised the logging levels on at least one of the logging settings. Before shutting down SC7 you'll probably want to reset them. The default level for all of them is 'Error'.

Just getting access to the computer room would be difficult. On the flip side, I have coax to almost every room in the house which is part of the reason I got interested, but if the newer homeplug is as fast or faster than coax, it would be worth looking into.

Re: [slim] Duet: Hardware Feedback
I'm just guessing - but I suspect the knob response includes server communication. the only certain evidence is that it doesn't click when its not active - but even that's not definitive. but - i think the knob click response should be implemented locally so it was rock solid reproducible in the amount of turn required to get on click. I think this would ease the single move problem that I've also experienced. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46444 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
