[slim] Struggling to remember Touch stuff
Hello chaps My Touch died some years ago so I've just bought another to try as a digital in for my Naim NDX (as the NDX interface is 100% crap compared to Squeezebox stuff) I notice there's an applet written by Triode called Enhanced Digital Output that enables the Touch to output 192khz digital signal, which it looks like the NDX might support. It replaces the kernal, which to me sounds pretty scary. Has anyone used this? Is it OK? (And no, I am not at all sure I have any music encoded at 192khz!) Also, the Logitech wallpapers are dull. I remember there used to be a way to install a custom backdrop but I can't remember how to do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Take care of your tongue. It is in a wet place and can easily slip.

[slim] Squeezebox Repair
It seems that the SB3 has reached the end of its lifecycle. More and more devices are failing. I bought some on eBay. They work for some months and one even for more than a year. Then they die with the same symptoms: - Display dead - Player cannot be found on network - optical output still blinking I guess the capacitors would need replacement. This is an excellent guide by the way: https://joes-tech-blog.blogspot.com/2018/11/logitech-slimdevices-squeezebox-classic.html Unfortunately I just lack the skills to replace the capacitors by myself. Has anybody had their devices repaired or know a good repair shop (preferably in Europe (I am located in Switzerland))? Fun fact: My SlimMP3 is still working perfectly. Slimdevices was better quality than Logitech!

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Repair
I didn't realize that is a repairer. Writing blogs about about repairing doesn't necessarily mean you repair things for other people. But in this case you are definitely right: "I am located in Germany. Please consider this when you want to send me stuff for repairs. Inside EU, shipping costs are tolerable but outside EU borders it gets very expensive quickly. Thanks to Covid19, parcel services are only offering the premium products now. For US targets, the smallest entity is 37.99 EUR when it used to be only about half that." I will give that a try. Thanks for helping out.

If you decide later to remove it, just do a factory reset or re-write the firmware (both with "reinstall applets" disabled). IIRC, at 192 coax worked more reliably than optical; I don't remember particulars of USB as my DAC lacks it.

Re: [slim] Struggling to remember Touch stuff
Thanks for that. As a result I found some old wallpapers and made some new ones, all the correct sized jpgs, but the Touch only picks up on two of them and ignores the rest. They are just not listed as selection choices. I can't see why.:-( Take care of your tongue. It is in a wet place and can easily slip.

All - I know this comes up periodically on the forums, and I've done some reading, but have yet to find an unambiguous answer: after several years of flawless operation, LMS has stopped showing my apps. Yes, I logged back in using the tab under settings in LMS, and yes I restarted the hardware LMS is running on.
