Is your WiFi probably on a different logical network than the rest of your local network?

Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
First of all: I would try to find out why you can't connect the iPhone to the Airport. That should solve the issue IMHO and Apple should help on that. What I still don't understand is how the DLink and the Airport work together/are connected. The _players_ don't have to be on the same network as iPeng (they have to be on the same network as the server, though), but iPeng needs to be on the same network as the server. What you are seeing now is that iPeng can see your players but your players (and iPeng) can't see your server. So here are a few alternatives: 1. Move everything to the DLink (probably not an option for you) 2. Try to disable routing on the AirPort, especially disable any DHCP server capability and only use the DHCP server in the DLink. That way you make sure all your devices are on the same subnet - if it works. You might also have to convince the AirPort to route UDP broadcasts to the main network. 3. If your server has more than one network port you could try to connect it to both the AirPort and the DLink. That way, both iPeng and your Squeezeboxen (if they are on the DLink's network) will see the server. Again: if you get it to work. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81846 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox playlists no good for albums
Thanks for all the good suggestions. No offence intended to anyone, but I think that Squeezebox is designed for geeks and iTunes is designed for real people. I am a geek, and for a long time I thought I was happy scrolling through 1000 albums on my Squeezebox looking for something that I was in the mood for. And I thought that Squeezebox was great. I bought one of the original SLIMP3's and I have been using Squeezeboxes ever since. My wife always refused to use the Squeezebox and I could never understand why. But then she introduced me to the wonderful world of iTunes and Macs and I discovered what she has been trying to tell me for years: The engineers in Apple design their gadgets to work in a way that is not only intuitive, but in a way that makes it easy for real people to use. Of course, I can brute-force squeezebox to allow me to do things like allocate sub-gendres, or I can stoically scroll through my 1000 or 10,000 albums and say that I am happy. But life can be better than that. With iTunes, I can create playlists of albums by simply clicking and dragging on my computer, and I can easly change my playlists as my moods change and as I buy and rip more CDs. iTunes is designed for real people and it makes life so easy. I have been a fan of Squeezeboxes for many years, but I am starting to realize that other products are moving faster than Squeezebox. If Apple develops a player like a squeezebox device that works with iTunes, squeezebox will be history. -- rodt rodt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

No? Us neither, but that's about to change following a CNBC report detailing the company's relationship with Apple. BridgeCo is in the business of embedding its network media processor and software stack into its partners' audio equipment to enable wireless streaming. Now, according to a CNBC interview with BridgeCo CEO Gene Sheridan, Apple decided sometime last year to make BridgeCo an AirPlay launch partner. As such, any vendor that embeds BridgeCo's newest tech will be able to accept streaming audio (and its metadata) from an iTunes library or handheld iOS 4.2 device -- there's no mention of video or picture streaming although AirPlay supports both. According to CNBC, audio gear should start arriving with the BridgeCo software in time for the holidays allowing iTunes users to mix and match their favorite equipment with a common software. What that means isn't exactly clear, though BridgeCo does offer the ability to link systems into a distributed home audio network that includes a party mode where all speakers are synced to play from a common source. Importantly, according to Sheridan, this is the first time that Apple has opened up its iTunes software to a third party, giving it a glimpse at the source code. -- goody goody's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

First off, if this should be in a different forum - please move. Here's the skinny. I have a Transporter, and it won't play back music. It will connect to the network, then connect to the server, and then I can browse the music library, but when I select something to play, it just stops. Looks like it's gonna play, but no sound comes out, and the music doesn't advance. There's no visualization either. The crux of the problem: the Transporter is reporting 49 volts (instead of 110-120.) I've swapped power cords, tried different outlets, etc, and still get only 49 volts. I'm nervous about opening up the unit, but I think I'm at that point. My questions are: -Is anyone familiar with this problem (49 volts, music won't play back)? -Is there a way to return the unit for repair (considering it's discontinued)? -What should my next course of action be?

Re: [slim] Windows 7 standby/hibernate
Hi... One caveat upfront is that I'm using a Duet system, not an SB3, but seems like the basics oughta' be the same. I've been playing around with this functionality, too, the past few days. First of all, this phrase from the Wiki is VERY important to understand: There is no way to tell Squeezebox to which computer it should send a WoL magic packet. Instead, Squeezebox remembers the MAC address of the last SqueezeCenter host it was connected to and sends the WoL magic packet to this address. The MAC address is learned automatically and cannot be changed manually. Second, the way to enable your Win 7 to sleep and have it still respond to the WOL magic packet is as follows: As Teus de Jong laid out, go to the Device Manager/Network Adapter/Advanced Settings/and make sure you have the Magic Packet configuration enabled for Wake Up. The terminology will vary a bit depending on which NIC card you have. Then go the the Power Mangement tab. Check the box that says Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Then, check the boxes that say allow this device to wake up computer AND only allow magic packet to wake up computer. VERY IMPORTANT: Then UNCHECK the box that says allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Click OK. If you don't do this, SBS will not allow your computer to go to sleepas you've seen, it'll wake up immediately after the sleep command is given. If all goes well, your computer should be able to go to sleep. AND---per the Wiki---if the last thing your SB was connected to was, indeed, your WIN 7 computer, your SB device should be able to wake it up with Magic Packet/WOL command. Keep in mind that it does take a little time for your PC to wake completely up, so you may want to wait 30 seconds or so before you actually try to execute any SB activities from it. If you try to do something immediately after sending the Magic Packet, your SB may still show that it's not seeing your computer.

Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
Hi Pippin, Thanks again for the reply. I see so the user needs a unique ID to get a remote server instance to control. Perhaps then it could be stored in the player and reset if necessary like a modem/router... I just think that there has to be a better way than typing in the same information via a remote in my case( 6 players 3 inputs) 18 times over the last few days!

[slim] Sirius issue with more than one unit synced
I have a Squeezebox radio that plays Sirius fine. I installed Squeezeplay on the computer I have the squeezebox server on and it plays Sirius fine. I can sync the Squeezebox Squeezeplay and have them play pandora or local music just fine. (except an annoying lag) When I switch to Sirius, both radios go silent I get the error message unable to play filetype. Same thing if I have Sirius running on 1 of them then turn on the other radio. I assume it's because Sirius see's me as 2 people using the same account. Is there a work around / fix for this? I've searched the forum haven't found the answer or someone w/ the same issue. if it's here, i promise I tried looking. :) on a side note, is there a way to adjust the sync so i can get these 2 players perfectly synced? thanks in advance. -- SFNMutt SFNMutt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40401 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Volume synced to MAX!
This is what happened yesterday: I was listening to some music through the Duet. It's digitally connected to the stereo, so volume is locked at 100%. My better half was working on the PC in the next room and wanted to get some music in there as well. So I synced the Radio in there to the Receiver. What I didn't take into consideration was that I had earlier set the volume to sync on the Radio, for syncing it with the Boom. So, the Radio started playing at max volume in the middle of a song. She got so scared followed by mad that she wanted to kill me at that instant (well, she wasn't happy..). She thought I'd done it on purpose, trying to be funny. Needless to say, that was not a good SqueezeBox experience. I don't want it to happen again, ever, to anyone! I propose that some logic is implemented that in some smart way prevents volume sync to a player that has it set locked at 100%, at least for the Radio and Boom. Other than that, we keep enjoying the music. The good SB experiences by far outnumber that bad one. I promised her to keep volume sync off for now. And she did calm down eventually :) -Skinny -- Skinny This sentence says less than a list of audio equipment.

Here is a little more. Seems Denon is going to push out a firmware update to at least one its receivers to enable airplay.

Re: [slim] Apple's Airplay coming soon...
Am I all alone thinking AirPlay is nothing more some than some kind of improved (i.e. with its own user interface and some ability to share files it has access to) Airport Express module embedded in A/V receivers? Frankly, as long as multiple AirPlay devices aren't able to -properly- stream the same file synchronously, and - even more - as long as one AirPlay server (like one iTiunes instance) isn't able to serve -several- clients independently, I can't see where Apple's threatening Logitech's or Sonos' markets... -- sebp Transporter, SB Classic, SB Receiver, SB Boom, SB Radio, SB Touch, 2 SB Controllers Will soon need a bigger home - 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/sebp) sebp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes AirPlay is derived from the older AirTunes. There was room for improvement, I guess we can suppose that if Denon et al. decide to pay the tax and integrate the adhoc chip, either the protocol is much better than before (it can do video, so things have changed), or this is cheaper than a physical iPod dock. Besides, Logi hasn't been sooo much into audio features lately, more into color screens and facebook applets...

Re: [slim] Apple's Airplay coming soon...
I think this might people excited about wireless streaming and it could be actually good for Logitech given the lower price than Sonos. People who finally get it as to what good streaming is about may go looking for a better solution. Also, I do not think Airplay will initally support FLAC if at all so for some like me it would not be an option. -- froth froth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeRemote for nokia phones
That sounds really exciting indeed! I've been thinking myself for a while to start a project like this, and I've done some reading on Qt and JSON lately, but I'm still not quite up to the task yet. Is your project based on Qt exclusively or do you use Symbian-specific functionality as well? I thought a purely C++/Qt-based remote control software would be a great idea because it could essentially work on all platforms that are supported by Qt (of which there are a lot). I'd love to take a look at your code, just let us know how we can access it. -- arris arris's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37909 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81848 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
