Re: [slim] SQ3 manufacturing errors? (watch out)
I had the same problem with one of my SB3. The wireless module stopped working a week after I bought the unit from Slim. I had to ship it at my expense to Slim for fixing even though it was a brand new unit. At the time I found it very strange that it would fail this way right out of the box.

Aesculus;396942 Wrote: I am not sure if its any better or not but I just upgraded to 2.2.1 and it seems responsive enough to me. One trick I have found is that you need to sort of poke or jab at the volume control to get it to recognize your finger, then you can slide it around. If you just press and hold it rarely catches for me. Yes, I belive that's the edge logic. A lot of people (myself included) hold their iPhone by having one finger parked just below the lower edge of the screen. Now as capacitive touch screens work, this will feed some signal onto the screen so to not have false touches I believe Apple has a less sensitive detection closer to the edges, especially for static touches. You can see this effect on all controls that are close to the edges of the screen. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave libmad: (mp3) decoding errors
The 0x0101 (lost synchronization) error is returned by libmad when it fails to find the requisite sync word at the expected location in the bitstream. It usually indicates either a corrupt bitstream The 0x0238 error is a Huffman data overrun error. This usually is an indication of an error made by the mp3 encoder during creation of the stream. Looks like a problem with the file/stream being sent to squeezeslave, not a problem with SS itself.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter connection dropping
I tried my SB1 on wired, and it ran for 8 hours, no problem. I then moved it to a different location and tried it on wireless. Again, 8 hours, no problem. I then moved it back to its original location, and thought to try test networking. It reports several (5? 6?) protocol errors with various lengths (ff71, and some others), and then resets. In the logs I see: [09-02-16 07:14:54.9513] Slim::Web::JSONRPC::requestMethod (383) request not dispatchable! [09-02-16 07:14:54.9611] Slim::Web::JSONRPC::requestMethod (383) request not dispatchable!

Re: [slim] Linn - SkweezyDS
I have a Linn Majik DS with Ruark speakers and a Rega power amp. I sounds phenomenal. The only problem is the Linn software. This runs on a laptop (absolute rubbish, not even album art) or a PDA/smartphone (very poor). I have just got my Squeezebox Duet set up and it is truly wonderful except for the sound quality. On a whim and as it was cheap I have just ordered Beresford TC-7510 DAC. will this get me up to Linn quality ? How do the volume issues pan out in real life? I'm nervous about having to transcode my studio quality FLAC files in sqeezecentre or will this not effect quality. Do I even need to transcode FLACs or can a transporter handle them. I take it that the handset from my Squeezebox Duet will control a transpoter in the same way as a Squeezebox receiver. I just love answering my own questions. I have just found SkweezyDs plugin for SqueezeCenter (Beta) http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/SkweezyDs If I can use the Squeezebox controller to drive my Linn then I will be very happy.

However, it's generally bad UI design to have critical functions in non-obvious places - novices might never find them. I would add a Select player choice somewhere, and a playlist icon in the upper right hand corner, and treat the overlays as shortcuts.

It would save me a couple of steps. Or not. - I really miss the alarm clock and sleep functions, and still use the web page to set them. Not a biggie, and I know you're working on it.

Re: [slim] Anyone using a SSD on a Windows machine with SC?
Goodsounds;397144 Wrote: I know nothing about this, but it makes me wonder why you'd want to bother with it? What in your view would be accomplished? Hi GS, Kind of a group things. First, the HD was the noisiest part (the only noise) of my Shuttle. Second the SSD will run with less heat (no fan in the Shuttle) and third it is quieter (Double important). Fourth, it's kinda fun to watch the HD light flash and hear nothing. I have always had my OS and SC on a seperate drive for ease of backup and defrag. Of course you don't defrag SSD's so that is a little maintenance I won't have to do. Anyhoo, since I posted this I just bit the bullet and did it. I follwed the instructions from OCZ to align the drive and that went without a hitch. Next, I downloaded the Acronis free trial. The SSD has a USB port on it so I did everything outside of the PC as far as alignment and cloning. Acronis automatically shuts your PC down when done. After that you install the new drive and reboot. Other than being a bit faster, you can't even tell you did anything. The entire operation took 30 minutes including aligning the HD. So it's silent, cool, uses less power and is faster. A fair trade for the $$ spent ($78) I think.

Re: [slim] Anyone using a SSD on a Windows machine with SC?
I have a shuttle K45 with an OCZ SATAII SSD (30Gb) and a 1TB WD green drive. Running FreeNAS 0.69 and SC 7.4. I set the WD to go to sleep after 15 min and turned on the acoustic settings. The OS and SC are on the SSD, FLACS on the spinning disk. Serves up 4 devices (2 SB 2 Boom) without even breathing hard. Boots in about 20 seconds, the web interface is very snappy. Very stable.

Re: [slim] fix for Actiontect router?

Assuming all devices adhere to standards then everything works, if some combination doesn't work then it implies someone isn't sticking to the standards. Given the huge number of complaints I've seen all over about the Actiontec I'd lay the blame at it's door unless someone can persuade me otherwise :) The general consensus seems to be that the Actiontec is garbage and you (or Verizon, even better) should replace it with something decent. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60199 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I do have an SSD system but it's running my phone system not SC. I have almost 1TB between audio and video so it will be a while before there is an SSD that can hold my collection. I have an Atom box with a 1TB Western Digital Green Drive.

Re: [slim] please help me pick a new router
I love Linksys but there routers can't handle high packet throughput. I have spent a lot of time testing router throughput and the only router that measures up for under $500 is TRENDnet. I would get a TEW-633GR. You won't be sorry.

Re: [slim] please help me pick a new router
+1 for the WRT54GL. As others mentioned, note the L at the end. I have not experienced any packet throughput problems at all with mine. I have logged 22mbps from wireless to wired devices (which is as good as I've seen from any wireless-G gear), 90 some odd mbps wired to wired across it's switch, and it handles my 8mbps internet connection via it's router with numerous connected devices without any trouble. I've also installed dozens of these routers for customers, friends, and family with no complaints. In fact, I have about six of these routers in a business VOIP application that all connect to a central trixbox located in middle America - with GL's and phones as far away as Canada and even one in Hong Kong. The routers are even establishing maintaining an OpenVPN connection to the trixbox prevent NAT issues with the VOIP. This system has been in place for about a year I almost never have to work on it - it just works. Amazing for ~$50 hardware. We also run a game server through another one of them with no trouble -- this particular one is one of three covering an 8000 sq/ft house, while also running VOIP and maintaining an OpenVPN session at all times. Anyhow I'd also suggest running the DD-WRT firmware. I think this is an important part of not only giving you the flexibility to do all sorts of things, but to making the router rock solid reliable as far as consumer level devices go. The system has great reliability and I have no trouble what-so-ever out of my network of squeezeboxen at home - they work well and reliably, no complaints at all. -- 86atc250r 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60201 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Ceiling Speakers
I purchased 3 pairs of Niles CM800HD about 8 years ago and they have served me very well. They are located in the kitchen, living room and outdoor rear deck (installed under a wall popout). They are sourced from the SB3 analog to my Parasound C2 zone 2 and are powered by an old Adcom GFA 2535 amp. I think I paid about $300 a pair. Looks like that model has been discontinued and been replaced by the CM830 for about the same price. Great to run those wires when everything is open, good luck.

Additionally, I would suggest that, if you have done so already, you wire your SC Server rather than connecting through wireless.

Re: [slim] Windows Home Server
On my server, it takes some time between the service starting and SC actually becoming usable. But when I use the stop and start button in the console, it tells me Squeezecenter is running almost immediately, even though SC does not respond for another minute or two. If it's possible, it would be nice if the message didn't appear until SC was running and fully accessible. That should be fine in the next nightly build. Button's greyed out, with a message telling that the server is starting/stopping. Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
