[slim] How to configure music files on USB HD using UBUNTU
I have tried for some good time now to get SqueezeServer (running as service) under Ubuntu to be able to access my My Book external 500GB VFAT hard disk with my music collection. Any clues? The best I have been able to do is to login, manually mount the disk. However, my experience is that from time to time the disk "disappears" and I'll need to re-mount manually again and again. The problem is that if I'm not around, then the family is deprived of music in case of reboots, power failures (I live in India) or when the drive "disappears". Any pointers in the specific configuration steps would be greatly appreciated. -- JMK JMK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54999 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: [slim] Y a t'il un français dans la salle ?
Il n'y a pas de discussion en français sur ce forum. Mais c'est une bonne signe que vous avez ouvert le dialogue. Je suis content que vous n'êtez pas déçu avec le SBIII. Moi, j'avait un problème avec le mien - il a pris un weekend de faire le depistage et decouvrir qu'il n'étais pas le SBIII mais mon router sans-fil qui avait besoin d'un mis-à-jour. Après, tout marchait comme il faut. John Suisse -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: [slim] What do you use behind the SB?
Erh, eh... Perhaps I'm missing something (literally) as I go from the SB via the phono plugs into a Krell PAM III pre-amp, Krell KSA-50 combo. As the preamp does not have digital in, should I be thinking of getting a converter and doing a conversion to analog outside the SB? - John -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

RE: [slim] SB reboot when looking for network
Bad wireless card in the Squeezebox or in the computer? I've a slightly different problem (already reported to customer service) where the device reboots occassionally when listening to internet radio. If I stream from ripped CDs that are on the hard disk, no problem. Strange, eh?

At 10, if the Squeezebox hasn't connected to an infrastructure network, it tries to connect to an AdHoc network of the same name. I've never heard of this kind of crash, it's possible it's a bad wireless card or an incompatibility with your access point. What make/model are the wireless devices on your network?

RE: [slim] switched to wireless -- now squeezebox reboots at random
Thanks for the clarification. I've done the reset to factory defaults. No change in behaviour. I've also checked for firmware updates and am awaiting the next (I've already reported at least two "bugs" and look forward to others reporting their problems so that the hardware/fireware is appropriately updated). However, I'm not sure that this device (TEW-435 BRM) has been released in the good ol'e US of A and hence may not receive a lot of users reporting issues. In Europe it seems that people "eat what is put in front of them". But that's another story. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Could you please explain what specifically you mean when you referred to "defaulting the config"? <<23b.jpg>>___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: [slim] switched to wireless -- now squeezebox reboots at random
If this is user error, I'd like to be the first to have someone show me where I've erred. At the SB will play for hours w/o a problem; other times (and almost exclusively when when playing Internet Radio) it will reboot and recommence playing. It's extremely annoying. My wife will not bother anymore using the SB; I put up with it and fumble for solutions like changing the router (was using Sonicwall SOHO2 router/firewall with Linksys WAP11; now using a TrendNet TEW-435BRM), changing the wireless channel, changing the WEP encryption, changing from SS as service to SS as application. etc. Indeed, changing to the Trendnet all-in-1 applicance resolved a problem I has in being able to have the SB download the genre list from Live365. So short of my anticipated move from my current 13 story apartment to a house in the country next month, where we'll see if has to do with the microwaves, cordless phones, other WIFI networks in the same building (I currently count 2 plus my own that I can detect), I too am at a loss for how this problem can be resolved. Just to reiterate, it in my case it seems related to playing internet radio through the wireless SB; ripped CDs seems to never or virtually never have this problem. Of course, should some enlightened soul be able to guide me in the right direction, I'll post the "success story" on these pages. Regards, J.
