Please check the server.log, too. Am 10.01.2015 um 01:06 schrieb Benefactor benefactor.6qh...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com: Have been enjoying my squeezeboxes for many years. Currently have 2 booms and a classic. Recently (within the last month or so), web interface becomes unresponsive seemingly at random. Click to play a new album and nothing happens. Or the album will show up in the currently playing list, with track time moving, but the display on the squeezeboxes themselves will freeze at 00:00 time on the first track of the album. If I reboot my computer, then the system will become usable again until it happens the next time. Have uninstalled almost all plugins, to see if maybe that was the issue - recently messed around with the SDT plugin to get it working again. Have uninstalled it, and all the other plugins I had, but the problem I describe still appears...seemingly more frequently over the last few days. Running LMS 7.8 on a Windows 7 Home premium machine...external USB drive with music library attached. Setup worked very reliably for the last several years until recently. I can't imagine there is a simple answer to my question, but could somebody out there attempt to lend me a hand as far as what might be wrong here? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
Aggghhh! In settings / advanced / performance I changed the memory usage to (I think because I can't get back in) maximum - for systems with 2+gb of memory. Now everything is hung and my system is relegated to swap memory. I've tried killing unneeded processes and starting LMS in Safe Mode (no user extensions) but it's still using 2GB of memory, and my system has only 2GB. First of all: LMS will not use 2GB just because of this setting. It will use what it needs. I don't know your collection, but with my 20k tracks it would use around 100MB after the start. Did you check what task is using all the memory, and if it's really swapping you're experiencing? Is there a file anywhere that I can manually edit and flip this switch back to low usage so I can fire up LMS again? Yes, edit server.prefs and remove the dbhighmem (or similar) value. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Recent frustrating developments with squeezebox ecosystem...
I got frustrated last night, and uninstalled LMS...and then reinstalled it, and configured the three players again from start. One thing I notice is that LMS now starts up a whole lot faster than it did before - used to take a few minutes to start up on a reboot, and now takes just a couple of moments. Hadn't done a fresh install of LMS since I got this current computer around three years ago. So far I've played a couple of selections this AM without any problems - we'll see how things develop over the next few days before I start posting server.logs. Thanks for the responses.

Re: [slim] Players to replace the Squeezeboxes? Scared after a storm took out my devices
sksahai wrote: Hello, As with others, I have experienced the agony and the ecstasy of being part of the squeezebox family. I have two Duets, two Touches and one Squeezebox Radio. The players are hooked up to amps/av receivers in their respective rooms. I finally have a system that works well on LMS 7.8 Two days ago, we had a lightning storm and despite having a whole house surge protector, and individual surge protectors in the home, we had a power fluctuation (brown out). It knocked out/killed my gigabit switch in the master wiring closet, and sent a surge down the ethernet line to one of my Touches. The ethernet port on that Touch is now dead, the device does not recognize an ethernet line plugged into it (but connects over wifi). That same brown out took out an audiosource amp 100 attached to the same damaged Touch (powers on, but no sound from speaker, ethernet damaged touch works fine). The radio was dead too, but I was able to revive it by doing the + button and plug in factory reset thing. This episode has scared me. What do I do to replace a player that dies? The LMS is on my WHS 2011 box, and holds close to 600 GB of music. I have looked at all the rasberry pi stuff and other things, but I need devices to replace and expand my netowrk that meest the all crucial WAF Wife Acceptance Factor The Duets and Touches are easy, 1. Turn on AV Receiver 2. Aim Remote/Touch screen 3. Hit play Are their 3rd party hardware solutions that look good, and can be used if a player dies? I searched ebay USA for Joggler devices, but they are no longer to be found. Does someone offer a service to build these devices (rasberry pi, etc) with touch screens in attractive boxes? I'd be happy to pay someone to do that for me. I've been building Raspberry Pi based SB players for my friends for some time now. They come in an attractive black box that meets 'WAF' expectations and I can't hear any difference in sound from my 'duets'. I've built about a dozen of them over the past few months, and they're all working fine. Control is usually from a smartphone or tablet - Apple or Android.
