[slim] Re: 6.5 Unstable and Bugs
I just installed 6.5 (saw the notification that a new version was available at the bottom of the version I was using (6_3_x_v2006-06-03) First thing I noticed was that it loaded in my browser quicker, quite a lot quicker. The second thing I noticed was that all my album art has gone. I have a folder.jpg in all my album folders, but nothing displays. That's what brought me to the forum, to see if this was a documented problem and whether there was a fix. I haven't found anything. I'm running it on ClarkConnect 3.2 Home. The third thing I noticed was that my SB3 now displays Cyrillic! How long I have waited for this! Now I can get to work ripping my Russian CDs at last! I have had one SlimServer crash since upgrading (never had one prior to that) and I haven't really checked the bandwith issues on my DGL-4300 -- I did have a problem playing FLACs in the farther away of my two SB3s, but it's in the kitchen where I mainly listen to podcasts in MP3 format, so it wasn't too big a deal. I wonder whether the 802.11n standard will see its way into the SB3 (if it ever gets ratified that is!) I like how 6.5 looks over 6.3 based on my 10 minutes of using it. I hope the bugs get fixed, as I'm sure they will be. I've had the two SB3s about a year now and I'm very glad I chose them. They quite simply have changed how I consume my audio in the home and I would hate to 'go back'! So, any ideas on the album art thing?

[slim] Re: Syncronising -- track restarts
Thanks to you all for responding. It's interesting to find these things out after I've committed to the SB3 rather than the Sonos. I figure that the Sonos works better with its way of setting up Zones. I suppose that, since it seems to be a server-related thing where the SB3 is concerned, that it can be fixed at some point down the line. I shall look forward to that day. -- Cams Cams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20821 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Syncronising -- track restarts
I'm just curious to know whether this behaviour can be changed. I'm listening to one SB3 and move to another room and wish to sync, so I go through Settings > Synchronise and it makes the track restart. This is particularly annoying when listening to podcasts, which I do regularly. Can this be prevented from happening?

[slim] Re: Speaker Recommendation for non-audiophile
I bought two pairs of Klipsch Promedia 2.0 speakers, one for the SB3 in the kitchen and the other for the family PC. These are not primary listening zones so I preferred to do without the extra space of a subwoofer. Here is the link to the speakers from the retailer from which I bought them (along with my two SB3s) 'Digimania.be' (http://www.digimania.be/en/prod_det.asp?ProductID=672) The bass response on them is actually really good for what they are and I'm more than happy with them. -- Cams Cams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20775 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Can't connect to SlimServer
I got it working!!! I pulled out the ZyXEL and worked on the LAN using just the new router. I manged to get it to assign the IP addresses that I wanted it to assign and got the SB3s working over the wireless network with WPA. Signal strength is up in the 80s now so problem solved. Plugging back in the ZyXEL to get to the Internet caused some problems, but a factory reset seems to have resolved that. I think the key to the whole thing was having the Turbo G (D-Link) or g+ (ZyXEL) switched on. Switching that off didn't resolve it, but starting again with it switched off seems to have yielded a good result. What a long day it's been though -- about 3 hours last night, then today from 8am to 5pm with an hour off for lunch.

[slim] Re: Can't connect to SlimServer
Thanks for staying with me on this ceejay. Your help is very much appreciated. I did the hard factory reset on the SBs, disabled Wireless g+ on the router and changed the 802.11 mode from 802.11g only to Mixed. I then saw that my Clark Connect OS had switched from Standalone (No Firewall) mode to Standalone -- that's happened before so I should have been alert to it, but I missed it. The end result of all that is that I'm back online with my SB3s and can access SlimServer from the browser. Yay! A whole morning's work to bring me back to where I was at teatime last night. So, now I have to try and get the new router in the mix somehow. Should I disable the DHCP server in the new router, or the old one? Or doesn't it matter? The chain will be the old router between the phone socket and new router, and then the server and two client PCs plugged into the new router. I suppose it would make sense to disable both wireless and DHCP on the old router, but would that affect the IP address for getting out to the Internet? I do so wish I could have found a router with Gigabit ethernet, modem and wireless. I find it strange that such a device is not yet available. Time for some lunch and then for some more tinkering. Maybe I'll be able to get onto the unicode tag problem by this evening!

[slim] Re: Can't connect to SlimServer
I still can't connect to SlimServer using only the ZyXEL router so I thought I'd post back with some more info. The ZyXEL router is taking care of the DHCP IP assignment. The SB3 is connecting to the wireless network and is being successfully assigned its own IP address. I can ping the SB3 from my desktop. I can also view the GUI on the server box (running ClarkConnect), I can see that the SlimServer service is running and I can also ping the server. I'm using WPA-PSK, the same as I was prior to messing around with the new router last night. During the messing around, I reset the ZyXEL to factory settings several times after losing the Internet, so I'm guessing that something that was set correctly before is no longer set correctly. I've switched off the Firewall in the router and powered it off and back on again. And the latest develoment is that I can no longer connect to SlimServer in my browser with http://slimserver:9000 Could it be something to do with these settings: [image: http://www.celticguitartalk.com/misc/sb_01.jpg] Someone please help! I've spent a small fortune to get this running, not to mention the hours and hours I've spent sat here.

[slim] Re: Can't connect to SlimServer
The ZyXEL router is being used only for the ADSL modem. The new router has Gigabit ethernet and a stronger wireless signal. I would much rather have got an all-in-one device with Gigabit ethernet, good wireless and integrated modem, but there doesn't seem to be such a thing on the market as yet. I just went back to just using the ZyXEL and can get onto the network with the SB3 and log into SqueezeNetwork, but I still cannot get it to find SlimServer. I've had my two SB3s working all week through just the ZyXEL router (with dropouts due to wireless strength), but now I can't get them to pickup SlimServer at all. Very frustrating. -- Cams Cams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20745 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Can't connect to SlimServer
It's a 192.168 IP. When first I set it up, it did find the IP address automatically. That's what made me thing something was not right this time around, and indeed, that seems to be the case. -- Cams Cams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20745 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Can't connect to SlimServer
I can't connect to SqueezeNetwork either. I can connect to the server using Putty to open an SSH session and I can ping it from the command line in Windows. I think it's something to do with the two routers and port forwarding or some such thing, but I'm not sure how these things ought to be configured. I guess every router is different so it will be difficult to advise, but if anyone can give me a general idea of what needs to be done, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Looks like another Saturday spent tinkering with something that worked fine on Friday. Technology, huh? Can't live with it, can't live without it! Just to clarify, I'm using a ZyXEL HW 660HW to hook up to the Internet and I have an ethernet cable going from it to the WAN port on the new D-Link. The server and two PCs are all hardwired to the new D-Link and I've got my wireless network configured properly as far as I can tell.

[slim] Can't connect to SlimServer
I bought a shiny new router today with a 5dbi wireless signal strength and Gigabit ethernet. My ZyXEL router wasn't giving me a strong enough signal. As far as I can tell, I can connect okay to the wireless network. I did a factory reset on the SB3 by pulling the plug then replugging whilst holding down the add key. Thereafter I got through the set up, had an IP automatically assigned and had to enter the SlimServer IP manually. That's as far as it gets. The router is a D-Link DGL-4300 and I'm running SlimServer on a Clark Connect 3.2 box. My two Windows PCs and the ClarkConnect server are all hardwired into the router, and the old router is plugged into the WAN port on the new router for Internet access. I've disabled wireless on the old router. Has anyone any ideas? I was hoping to work on my Cyrillic tags problem, but it's taken hours of trying to set up the new router and I'm done in for the day. If only I were being paid for the hours spent setting up the Squeezebox. Still, I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.
