[slim] 5 year old Squeezebox2: working but silent
Hi, would appreciate any thoughts on whether I should consign my 5 year old SB2 to the scrapheap. This little unit's had a *lot* of use. No recent changes to my system, but turned it on one day to discover it was silent. Boots up fine and logs onto to my local squeezebox server. Loading any internet radio seems to work ok, buffers up fine, the current track name on Radioparadise shows up but the audio level screensaver stays static at about 3bars leftright there's no sound output. Playing tunes off my local library has the same effect: level bars are static, squeezecenter shows that the track is being played ok (ie the track time advances). The rest of my players (4 SB2s 3 booms) are working fine. Running squeezebox server 7.5.1 - r30836. XP Pro. Same problem if logged onto mysqueezebox.com Hard reset of the player has no effect. Have ensured it's not synced to any other players. No router probs as I say, the unit can access the internet. No obvious probs on the player audio settings in SBServer settings. Router/server powercycles of no help. Amp works fine with another unit. Pressing holding '3' on SB powercycle (which I thought was supposed to give a test tone) just goes straight to 'Set Up Networking') I'd normally suspect a router / firewall problem but the fact the rest of the players are fine suggests otherwise. Should I stick it in the freezer for a few hours?? Or move to a Touch.. -- JJP JJP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1047 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81500 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If there's no easy solution, I guess I can teach the harmony to learn prolonged number presses for all 9 digits. I've been unable to map 'press and hold a number' to any of the 'soft' button on the touchscreen. The Harmony One seems to eventually accept a 'continuous number press' in Learning Mode but, on replay, my SB2 doesn't respond at all. My desire for this is so that other users of my media system can just press a button marked 'radioparadise' or 'radio 4' rather than having to be told which number button to press hold for diffent favourites. I can't see that there are discrete IR commands in the SB IR codeset for 'play favourite [x]'. Does anyone know hex code equivalents for 'press hold [x]' which I can copy paste into the Harmony setup for favourites 1-9? (?can the Harmony take such codes?)

Re: [slim] Improved Squeezebox config availible for Harmony users.
Have just added a Harmony One to our cinema room. The basic codes work well with a SB2. How can I map the Squeezecenter Favourites to the additional buttons (the touchscreen)? Favourites 1-9 are presently shortcuts to streaming URLs. What I'm looking for is just a button with the radiostation name (or graphic), eg BBC Radio 4 which triggers a certain SC favourite (eg no.4) and would emulate 'press and hold 4' on the SB remote) If there's no easy solution, I guess I can teach the harmony to learn prolonged number presses for all 9 digits.

oh well. TBH it was the less patient SB users (not too far away from me) who were getting annoyed by the 2 second wait. Mark Lanctot Wrote: You can also walk through each field rapidly without changing it using the FWD button. That's not quite true when using a wireless connection - you end up with about 10 FWD presses. Mark Lanctot Wrote: The Squeezebox is intended to be an always-on device. In fact, the blank screensaver is a recent addition as it usually uses a clock (DateTime) screensaver. As funkstar said, you lose ecological brownie points if you're out all day. Looks like I should hoist a (minor!) bug / enhancement request. Perhaps not so minor - I have a guest who ended up changing my WPA key.

Wired wireless do the same on power-on. My house is off-grid a SB2 in standby eats about 6watts so they mostly stay off.

Is there anyway I can stop this coming up when turning on a squeezebox? It can be too easy to end up in the network setup pages through impatience / twitchy fingertips.. Ideally i'd like a player setting for 'do not offer network setup on startup (unless connection fails)' Or is this feature there already i'm just being blind?

Color me confused, but I never see this message and I turn my SB on and off a dozen times each day. Are you talking about physically severing the power connection or using an external power switch to control the SB? Ben Yes - I turn my units on/off at the power source.

[slim] Re: Alien BBC Garbled Sound
Same problem here - XP, SB2s running 15/07/05 nightly, mplayer pre7, alienBBC 0.98. Garbling sometimes happens within 2-3 minutes of fast-forwarding the stream which makes BBC unusable. I now have a sore ear due to complaints from other household squeezebox user(s). It's annoying (makes me angry!) that the BBC still insists on using realplayer for audio when they do appear to have adopted a windows media format for some video. I pay my licence fee for them to force me to install some bloated spyware realplayer trash. /rant Patience -- JJP ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
