At least Cat6 these days. Also, read up on the specs. Cat6 does not tolerate being pulled hard through small holes, or in tight radius. The bits will fly out of the curves. Run the good stuff, and never worry about it again. If you can, drag some of the blue bendable conduit through the walls to a common place (basement, wiring closet, etc.) its fairly cheap, and if you need it later, you will love having it in place. Also drag good, high bandwidth cable for the TV, and put a box with Ethernet behind every place you could ever want a TV.

I'll agree that paying for labor to pull wires in existing construction is expensive, but the OP is talking about new construction, before the wallboard goes on. A 1000 foot roll of CAT5 is under $100, and even Cat6 is under $200. You do not need junctions boxes in the walls for low voltage stuff, you can just use mud rings. For new construction or serious remodeling, you can do a whole house for the cost of a few homeplugs. Its been a few years now, but I dragged 1600 feet of cat5 through my 20 year old house.

Over on this side of the pond I would recommend using the best cable you can afford labour costs totally outweigh the cost of the materials. Using some form of pre-roped ducting is great although knowing some of the building pratcices I have seen they won't respect that fact that tight bends are a no-no. When we had our extension built I had ducting run from the house under the extension out to my garden office, and being a fibre person I ran 150m of fibre .future proof... Since the UK requires building inspections during construction you will require LSOH cables or plenum cables in walls, or voids. -- MuckleEck Alasdair SB3 - Linn Majik - Acoustic Energy Extreme 5 (garden) | SB3 - Cambridge Audio 640R - Morduant Short (TV room) | SB3 - AudioEngine 2 (bedroom-2) | SB3 - AudioEngine 2 (kitchen) | SBR - Musical Fidelity A1008 - JR149 (office)| Squeezebox Radio (bedroom) | SBR - AudioEngine 2 (Bedroom -3) | Boom (bedroom-4) | Two Controllers Last Fm http://www.last.fm/user/MuckleEck/ MuckleEck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11301 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71301 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Do you have any suggestions as to whether there could be something else I have missed? If it is dead, is it possible to get it fixed in the UK? I bought the SB3 in the US in December 2007. Thanks for any input you may be able to give me. And this is the response I got from Customer Support. Dear Philip; Recently you requested personal assistance from our on-line support center. Below is a summary of your request and our response. We will assume your issue has been resolved if we do not hear from you within 120 hours. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.

Re: [slim] My SB3 display has died after 2 years.
Yes, that's really lousy boilerplate push-em-through customer service. That said, at some point the SB3 warranty went from 1 year to 2 years. I forget when that was, but I *think* it was before Dec 2007. So your unit could still be under warranty. If so, I hope you didn't screw that up by opening it up yourself. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71324 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] My SB3 display has died after 2 years.
My deepest condolences to Philipb, a SB3 dying so young is hopefully not the standard. Of course, as an electronic technician I'm used to see faulty equipment everyday, but a low power consuming device like the SB3 is not normally the victim of the usual heat damages or dried out capacitors you normally see. But anyway, the SB3 has a high voltage power circuitry for the VFD,so my first guess would be that the fault is located somewhere around that, but as the SB3 goes out of production, it would suit Logitech to publish a circuit diagram, so the remaining owners had a chance to keep their old equipment alive. Just for fun, I'm the proud owner of a 25 year old Sansui amplifier, a 15 year old Technics vinyl player and several other vintage stuff, but if it is made properly and there is somebody out there with a circuit diagram who can fix it, it will probably last you a lifetime. -- bebop Regards Bebop SC 7.3.x on Ubuntu 8.02(on old Dell D600 laptop), Duet SBCSBR + Boom1 + Boom2 bebop's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17061 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71324 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] My SB3 display has died after 2 years.
To be honest, all that has happened is exactly what we predicted would happen when Slim got taken over by a much bigger, less focussed group. In the early days, when Dean and Sean were there and KDF was the forum guru, there was a sense that anything that could be done to fix a problem, would be. Now, I am told that consumer items are designed to end up as landfill after a couple of years and sod the environment. As for getting it fixed under warranty, I don't see Logitech offering me that after I admit opening the box. Another difference from the old days - when my SB1 wireless card came unseated, Dean advised me to open the box and gave me a personal assurance that it would not void my warranty. I wonder what the predicted life of the touch screen will be on the new SB? -- philipb philipb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33119 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71324 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox v3 - keeps rebooting, please help
Hello, I bought a Squeezebox 3 in early 2006. It's always given me stellar performance and so in good faith I sold it to someone. The person has emailed me telling me it does not work. It shows the logitech logo then reboots - repeating this process continuously. Now, I don't have reason to not believe him as he is a trusted person so I've told him to send it me back if he can't fix it. He's tried a hardware reset (pressing and holding add then booting up, and has also tried an audio reset (pressing 1), but the problem continues. Is this a firmware or hardware problem? Could anyone offer any other advice on what he could try before sending it back to me? Your help would be highly appreciated.

I have lived with a modded my.tt (see my posts earlier in this thread) with set innodb_buffer_pool_size set to 500m for two weeks, monitoring the memory usage via Windows Task Manager. Unless I have performed a Clear Rescan, mysqld.exe does not use more than about 125M. Lazy searches are extra fast, with the number of matches almost instant as I enter each character.

Browsing by albums - Home Albums - takes a few seconds going from one letter to another, but is still acceptable. Clicking on the artwork instantly brings up the album details. Browsing by artists - Home Artists - also takes a a couple of seconds between letters, but again clicking on an artist brings up an instant display of the albums.

[slim] Need help understanding synchronization between Squeezebox Server Mysqueezebox.com
Hi, I have been using a Squeezebox Boom for 5 days now with Squeezebox Server 7.4.1 and iPeng. Today I realized that apps from the App Gallery on Mysqueezebox.com and plugins in Squeezebox Server are not the same thing. What makes it confusing is that iPeng can install apps and put them in the My Apps menu, and then I can see these Apps in the Squeezebox Server under the My Apps menu. However, when I try to uninstall the apps from iPeng, the behavior is very inconsistent. Even though iPeng says it uninstalled them, they show up randomly in Squeezebox server. I was especially having a problem with the podcasts app. I installed Podcast Player from iPeng, but I could not see how to add my own podcasts so that Podcast Player would see them. iPeng doesn't seem to have the feature to add podcasts, and when I tried adding them in Squeezebox server in Squeezebox server settings on the Podcasts tab, I could not find a menu in iPeng from which I could see and play the added podcasts. I figured out the the Podcast feature in Squeezebox server is added by the Podcasts plugin (not to be confused with the Podcast Player app) that is located in Squeezebox settings on the Plugins tab. So, it appeared that iPeng could have the Podcast Player app that could not see the custom podcasts I was trying to add, and the Squeezebox server had the place to add custom podcasts in Squeezebox server settings on the Podcast tab, but iPeng did not have the menu that would access that information. Finally, I decided to switch my Squeezebox Boom from using the Squeezebox server to using Mysqueezebox.com. Suddenly, I realized that the apps that iPeng saw were the same apps available on Mysqueezebox.com When I tried to delete the Podcast Player add, it was gone from iPeng. When I added the Podcast Player add in iPeng it appeared in Mysqueezebox.com. So far so good! Then I clicked on the Podcast Player add and saw a place where I could add a custom podcast. It was similar to the Podcast plugin in Squeezebox server. So, I added a custom podcast in Podcast Player add on Mysqueezebox.com, and I was able to see this custom podcast in iPeng under Podcast Player. So, my conclusion is that the integration with Mysqueezebox.com works quite a bit better than with Squeezebox server, at least when it comes to controlling a Squeezebox device using iPeng and especially when trying to play custom podcasts while controlling the Squeezebox device from iPeng. Lastly, I switched my Squeezebox Boom back to Squeezebox server, but this time I went to Squeezebox server settings and under the mysqueezebox.com tab enabled the integration between the Squeezebox server and Mysqueezebox.com. In this configuration, I was still able to add podcasts in Podcast Player on Mysqueezebox.com and see them using Podcast Player in iPeng. Then, I proceeded to remove the Podcast plugin from the list of plugins in Squeezebox server, and I was still able to use the Podcast Player app on iPeng. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that the plugins available in Squeezebox server and the apps available in Mysqueezebox.com are not the same thing. However, I am still a little confused. I see that there are a lot of Squeezebox player settings that can be set both in Squeezebox server and in Mysqueezebox.com. Even though the integration between the Squeezebox server and Mysqueezebox.com is enabled, the player settings configured in Mysqueezebox.com have absolutely no effect on the way the Squeezebox Boom behaves as long as it is connected to the Squeezebox server. The player settings in Squeezebox server take an immediate effect on the Squeezebox Boom. So, what exactly does the integration between the Squeezebox server and Mysqueezbox.com affect? I know that the applications can be installed and configured in Mysqueezebox.com while it is integrated with Squeezebox server and the Squeezebox device associated with the Squeezebox server. What other settings are affected by this integration? Can someone explain the difference between the Squeezebox server plugins and the apps available in iPeng and in Mysqueezebox.com? Sorry for this long post, but I am going crazy trying to understand how it all works together. -- sirozha sirozha's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71343 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I don't know for sure, but I think the integration is somewhat a 'work in progress.' That would be why you are seeing less than consistent behaviors. I have noticed that by moving from 7.4 to 7.4.1 to 7.4.2 beta and now 7.5.0 beta, the integration seems to be getting more solid. Possibly work is also being done to MySb.com at the same time. I just don't think we can count on the integration to be complete at this point. It's worlds better than 6 weeks ago, so I feel it will be there by the end of the year. -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.5 beta + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet Squeezeplay on all PCs gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71343 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
