Something that I've felt lately is also that it would be a good idea to collect all questions which people want answers on but only Logitech can answer. Issues repeated by many members are of course not lost because they are repeated all over again but some issues are only posted once or twice and Logitech employees never spots them due to the high amount of posts in the forum. Of course, it could be discussed if there is any point in helping Logitech to spot these issues if they don't have the time/resources to answer them. Just to make it clear, I'm not talking about questions regarding future products, this is obviously something Logitech is going to keep for themselves and never give us any answers on until the product is released. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78013 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It's like they insist on doing connection tracking and then fall over when their connection tables fill. Bizarre and makes no sense at all to me, because as best I could tell, the Sonicwalls are simply Linux or BSD boxes with some icky custom software. There is no reason they shouldn't be able to move around a TON more packets. But.. they don't. Maybe massively simplifying rules could help, but when they started having bonus deletions (as in click to delete one rule with the horrid web interface, and watch it delete a couple others for no reason...) they became a "don't touch this or it will all explode" sort of thing. > > I sadly can't touch some of the features in the sonicwall as thats > something only the head admin can do.

Firewalls that drop packets under load are Very Bad, especially when the load is really around 15Mpbs or so. It was so overloaded the web administration pages would barely load. Deleting a rule on the SonicWalls would "sometimes" delete other rules. There is no "save my config to a tftp server" or "dump the config in text so I can look at it.." You need to use their horrid web interface for everything, and repeated 'print this page' to print out the config. If I said what I thought about SonicWalls, I would be booted from the forum forever.

Re: [slim] Router overheating with multiple devices?
I overheated my WRT54GL when it when sitting on top of my computer. I moved it and it was ok. I use tomato software with it I have not tweaked the wifi ro the highest setting 80 -100mW is enough. The overheating did not start until i got more squeezeboxes :-) But a better location solved the problem. I'm redoing my network right now, as every port was full and I want to wire more stuff. I discovered an underrated item the switch, eventually I plan to have all wired stuff connected trough gigabit switches. So that internal traffic between wired things never have to go trough the routers internal switch (for now I use 2 ports on it). I also use static ip an all non mobile things as servers and wired players and desktop, so I figure that I will have most of the network intact even if the router goes down . Sorry for hijacking the tread with similar issues. My linksys is also getting old I think. What do you think about the "ASUS RT-N16" . Spec looks decent inbuilt gigabit switch fast N networking enough cpu to actually do the switching effortlessly 2 USB ports. And capable of running DD wrt firmware . I do love the tomato router firmware, but it's basically a one person operation so tomato have not got into N networking yet. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77984 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Squeezebox randomly drops station
I have a few Squeezeboxs we are testing out for one of our business clients to get music into their buildings. So we set up a custom radio using shoutcast and winamp as a test run, and all was great! But now they keep droping the stream.. So far i've tried pretty much everything i can think of on the winamp/shoutcast side of things.. it will run 24/7 if i stream it to a computer. But the squeezeboxes will drop it still. about 5 or 6 times a day, pretty much at random.. I feel i've narrowed it down to either their slow internet (Frantional T1) Or their business class router (i believe it's called a sonicwall, But i'd have to check) Called logitech and all they did was whine that i'm not using their squeeze server software..

Even better- if logitech took the torch and started communicating with the community themselves. My goal with this blog was to give the community a sense of connection to what's going on that feels better than random (and often contradictory) posts on the forum.

If this blog convinces logitech to do it, then I'll simply close my blog. My job will be finished. I am doing this because I want to see these products succeed, and communication is key. In the mean time, anybody who wants to help I'd love help gathering news. **Disclaimer** I really appreciate the communication from the direct squeezebox employees, don't get me wrong.

Re: [slim] Router overheating with multiple devices?
The router probably is just not up to moving so much data, so I'd recommend replacing it with a different model. I had a Netgear router that worked fine until I got Squeezeboxes. After that it would sometimes lock up, either when streaming FLAC or even when copying huge batches of FLACs from my laptop to my server. I put it down to design or hardware weaknesses that are never pushed to the limit with normal network use, but pushed past that limit by audio streaming. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77984 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The big improvement (and only noticeable improvement) for me when going to my current 6.3.3 from 6.3.2 (using only SB2s and an SB3), was the better syncing between devices (in that, rather than restarting the current track when you power on another device, that is set to sync, it does it's best attempt mid-track (which in itself is near perfect), and then does a "proper" sync at the start of the following track).

Re: [slim] Improved Squeezebox config availible for Harmony users.
Yup, that's what I did in the end, I felt sure I was missing something, but alas no. I went for the Harmony One BECAUSE it was by Logitech, my assumption being that although its a lot more expensive than the other one I was looking at, it should be no problem with compatibility with my squeezeboxes and it should be easy peasy to get them to talk to each other. Hah, more fool me, you live and learn. Shouldn't ALL logitech products with an IR control be automatically added to the Logitech Harmony One software application, first, automatically, by process, before any other manufacturers get added? When you consider the pricepoint of these products, and how long they have been in the offing, surely that's not asking much? ...and why would I choose "Digital Music Server"? The SB Radio is not a Digital Music Server at all, and the Touch is only that if you want to make it so (which I don't). I knew I didnt want to control my actual Digital Music Server, which is in a cupboard and has no IR anyway, so that's just confusing. Its like calling something Toaster when you mean Fridge. Just seems it would be better if one group of Logitech would email the other group of Logitech, a simple config file for each Squeezebox product, (or just one as the OP seems to indicate it would work for all) to add into the software directly, instead of relying on people counter-intuitively installing a 'Digital Music Server' device, calling it an SB3 and then going back in and renaming it and reprogramming half the buttons. That simple solution would have prevented me from chasing my tail for an hour looking for a logitech product in a Logitech piece of software which *should* be there, but wasn't. Now I'm not convinced its installed properly, as I don't get access to some of the other fancy features described in this thread, which I have read from start to finish looking for a solution to this.

Well, I've not uploaded a complete image, because it takes way longer to download/put it on the USB key, because large parts of the image will be "empty".

OTHERWISE YOU MAY ACCIDENTLY ERASE YOUR HARDDISK! * On all partitions on the stick (/dev/sdXn), right-click and select "Unmount" * Now, clear the stick: Device / Create Partition Table * Now, create the 3 partitions as mentioned here: http://www.jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=Android_Prebuild_Image But I'll prepare an empty image with the 3 partitions for your convenience. :-) When this is ready, you can put this image to the USB key and add the contents of the torrent file to the first partition. -- flattermann Christian Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64373 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Router overheating with multiple devices?
My Linksys WAG54GX2 wireless gateway router has started to overheat and power down when I connect more than one device to it now. Overheating routers is a known issue but I wondered if anyone else is having a similar problem in a music streaming context. I have a desktop PC, laptop PC music server and a SLIMP3 connected to the router by ethernet, with an SB3 Classic and Boom on wireless. Music is usually synched across all devices. Apparently the router can't handle the throughput and dies. I'm already on my second PSU as well. Had to play some real CDs last night! Thinking of moving to a new WAG120N if it's EOL for the existing unit. Any ideas / comments? Thanks GRC -- GRC -Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it ...- And if it matters ...

[slim] Recent changes to alarms?
I've recently discovered some annoyances that I hadn't noticed before - I think they must be fairly new. SB3, SBS 7.5.1. 1. When alarm is playing, if I press pause, it goes into power off mode, rather than just pausing. 2. When alarm is stopped (eg. press power off, or pause), the volume returns to pre-alarm volume level. I preferred it when the alarm volume level remained. eg. if I play ambient music late at night at low volume, and then alarm goes off at high volume, later in the day if I were to play music, it's more reasonable to play at high volume level than low volume level. It's a bit unexpected for the level to change. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Cat-3 Cables
That's interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_3_cable In theory you can get reliable 100 Mbps from Cat3, but that probably requires some special hardware in each end of the cable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100BASE-T4#100BASE-T4 -- Soulkeeper Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77974 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
