Well if the display is exactly as you indicated (i.e. no SomaFM on display ) and the same URL works OK when player is connected directly to mysb.com - then it indicates there is a problem with your SBS on ReadyNAS. Since 70% of stations work - you need to find out what is the common factor between the 30% of stations that don't work. A start would be to check the streams formats.

[slim] SB3 Display Question
I've had an SB3 for quite a few years. Recently I've noticed an oddity on the display. I'm worried it's been there all along and so I'm going to look like a wally. But nothing ventured, nothing gained, as they say... So, on search or browse results screens, like if I press Music Library Artists I get a screen which says the artist in big letters and at the top right it says 1 of 1000 (or whatever). But just to the left of the 1 is a funny little character that I don't understand. It's always an m with a line above and below. Or maybe a 3-legged elephant being made into a sandwich? Or something? Actually it doesn't always appear: for example, it doesn't for All Songs, nor if I Browse Music Folder. It appears on the SB3 and also SoftSqueeze. What does it mean?

What would be the harm in them offering him $250K for his sweet sweet application if he also agrees to go on retainer to continue supporting it for the next few years?

Re: [slim] system audio output via osx?
ah syncing is a good point, thanks. I see some of the options in VLC for outputing, but not sure how it works yet. I'll keep looking but would love to hear from anyone who's done this. Love the SB so far, otherwise. the Live Music Archive thing is especially great, and glad they added an NPR navigtor. -- upriver upriver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72427 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Think I've been ripped off - Squeezebox Classic Store Demo Unit.. Help!
I'd have to agree that the best solution is to get the seller to swallow it back. Might be hard to do if you bought it as is, although if the seller knew it was unusable this isn't a lot different from shipping you a box of rocks. If you end up stuck with it, before you start trying to convert it into a non-demo unit it seems to me there was at least one person posting here with a SB3 who'd had the display unit fail. Someone else mentioned that the display module is available for around $200. So what you might have there is a donor display unit, ripe for desoldering... -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SB3 randomly rebooting
Any hints on how to debug this problem?: Over the last few weeks, my SB3 has been rebooting randomly while playing. It doesn't seem to be related to a particular file type - it has happened with MP3 files, podcasts and streaming audio. It generally happens perhaps 20 minutes after playing, but has happened within a couple of minutes of starting. I've tried various logging settings on the server, but I haven't yet seen any hint of a cause. I've tried factory reset + audio reset. No sign of similar problems with a Boom running off the same server. Is there a way of logging problems on the client side? Any other hints? Thanks...

iPhone;493936 Wrote: Is time and material for the above procedure more or less then a used SB3 on EBAY? Have you looked on eBay lately? There used to be a LOT of SB3 / SB Classic units for sale. Now there are 3 on the main eBay site -- two auctions that are days from closing, and one seller asking $349 USD for an SB3 with a homemade power supply. SB Receivers are similarly in short supply on eBay (three Buy It Now for about $200 each), though there are a few more Duet setups and Booms available. Things are certainly much different than a couple months ago when you could buy refurbished players from MySqueezebox.com for cheap. It looks like supply is drying up, so Logitech really needs to get the new gear out on the market. Logitech hasn't announced anything, but I expect they'll release an updated Receiver (and Duet bundle) at the same time as Touch, based on the Touch/SqueezePlay/ARM platform, so I *don't* think it's a bad sign that Receivers seem hard to find right now. I don't at all think Logitech is wavering in its support of the Squeezebox product line, but merely that they underestimated demand for the old gear. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 7.4.1 rebuffering woes
Yep Holding 1 is the xilink reset (you unplug it and hold 1 during boot so that you see xilink reset in the display ) Holding + ( add ) is the factory reset. Your SB3 should have firmware version 130 can bees seen in the web interface settings information page If you rummage around in the setup menu of the SB3 (hold left arrow a while) You can set it to auto update firmware , note you can do that after you got it updated to one of never versions. Othervise an SB3 wants you to hold the brightness button to upgrade firmware For other readers, for future reference http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Hardware_Reset_commands If you get weird audio out of an squuezebox a xilink reset is usually the thing to do. -- Mnyb Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72300 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Running Slimserver.pl in windows
I have not been using the windows executable since 6.4. I installed perl and then use srvany to load slimserver.pl as a service. This was worked for me in several versions. However today I checked out the latest version of 7.4 trunk. I had everything working but the service for Slimserver.pl would not work (even though I had updated the registry settings for the srvany key, to the new directory were the 7.4 trunk was located). It worked fine if I just ran perl slimserver.pl from the command line. In messing around with the SqueezeMySQL service I can't get anything to run now. I have even installed the windows executable and it will install, but it can't start SqueezeServer. It all seems to be a problem with the MySQL. If I manually start the SqueezeMySQL service, it just stops in a few seconds. How can I get the SqueezeMySQL to work again? Thanks. -- lemmy999 lemmy999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72438 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
