[slim] Logitech MiniBoombox speaker + Bluetooth + linux : utter failure
Are there any Linux experts out there who can help me getting the Boombox speaker working in command-line linux using bluez-utils? Basically, the speaker and linux PC fail to pair. A different bt speaker pairs without issue. I'm completely stumped after days of googling and fiddling with bluez.

Re: [slim] Olive One - any downsides?
IMO it needs digital outputs and analog line level outs.

Re: [slim] heard on the grapevine: replacement for Squeezebox Touch
Well, my old favorite SB3 just started its death throes today (failure to stay connected to the same wifi network it has always used with 100% stability, repeated reboots, unacceptable interruptions to every music stream) so I am suddenly in the market for a replacement. I can use my AppleTV, but then I have to keep iTunes running somewhere and I am stuck with the Apple HDMI audio.

It's not simply the wifi card that is broken ,you might revive your SB3 as an Ethernet only player by removing the wifi card , you migth still use wifi via some access point with Ethernet out or powerline adapters ?

Yea, I tried that, connecting the SB3 to the router using Ethernet, but it still refuses to stay connected to the LMS. Sigh. Oh well, I bought this unit the week Slim Devices released it, so what is that almost ten years?

Re: [slim] heard on the grapevine: replacement for Squeezebox Touch
I would not be interested in buying another Logitech product after their decision to discontinue the Touch . The one thing I've noticed about this company is the life cycle of many of their products is short . jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] heard on the grapevine: replacement for Squeezebox Touch
Rumors, rumors, rumors. I just know I read the powerpoint presentation made by Logitech where it was clear they were going to go small box, cheap end, simplify, sort of the Apple way, no need for tech knowledge whatsoever because that's where the growth is. I can't remember whether they mentioned UE at the time, but I'm sure they just measured the brand name traction, and went with the strongest. With the success of Spotify, and software makers increasingly going into online subscribition models, the writing was on the wall. I never even got round to buying a Touch, and as supplies dry up, prices are rising. So what would I get instead? I would only get a piece of hardware if I could get a 24/96 digital out, either AES/EBU or SPDIF. Hook it up to my Tact digital amps. I wonder why shouldn't I just get a mini ITX motherboard with built in wireless, a SPDIF header, or even SPDIF digital out, get a Lundahl transformer, a PSU, some memory, some SSD, (or even remotely access a hdd server) and then feed that directly to my Tacts? Could run the Squeeze software on that as well, for that bit perfect, low jitter, gapless playback, no? Hardware cost will be higher (but not by much unless I get a really fancy box), take more watts, but it's more flexible, could still be fanless, could do movies too, with XBMC or some other software. I'll miss those live recordings from the Squeezebox the most.

I haven't noticed that with any of my Squeezebox products. I have both Slimdevice and Logitech players that have never failed over many years. I am not sure about other Logitech products because the only thing I have is an MX mouse but that two is several years old and was quite inexpensive to buy in the first place and is working fine SlimChances's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I assume that you also checked the PSU and the PSU connector , the PSU connector can cause reboots . A Touch would be a good replacement , but could be a culture shock if you are used the versatile menu and display customisation of the SB3 or use it blaster and display is not as visible over a distance . But ime that's irrelevant with today's pads and smartphones who uses the player interface ?
