Re: [slim] The Forum's Old Days on Christmas Morning
Oh yes mysqueezebox.com did collapse ever Xmas :) , but I thought it was down to an excess of existing users suddenly using thier device ( the capacity of services and websites seems to design at some avarage load and not every user 24/7 ) and that the support staff was on Holliday so the slightest issue brought everything down Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

[slim] The Forum's Old Days on Christmas Morning
Fondly recalling the old days where Christmas morning would create a flurry of new member postings on the forum asking some version of "how do i make this thing work?" And there was the usual "squeezenetwork (mysqueezebox.com)" outages due to the influx of new users around this time. I'm very pleased we are about to enter 2018 with a very nicely functioning squeezebox ecosystem. 24233 +---+ |Filename: 0d2478fa3f25f8c92b2fa32aa8ff2ca0--christmas-ad-christmas-graphics.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24233| +---+ *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9.1 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108452 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
