[slim] HELP - SB3 Hangs After Firmware Upgrade!
I used my SB3 for the first time in several months, and it immediately downloaded a firmware upgrade. The unit "hung" after the automatic reboot, requiring me to unplug and plug in again. After the unplug, the unit works fine, but will hang periodically. The Information tab shows "Player Firmware Version: 28", and "Player Model: squeezebox 2". I definitely have a SB3, so I am afraid that something is wrong with my firmware. Can I force a firmware update to a different version? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! -- John151 -------- John151's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39492 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I upgraded the server software. The new version of slimserver required me to upgrade the firmware again. This resulted in Version 81, and it now shows that I have a SB3.

[slim] SB3 Cutting Out While Playing Apple Lossless Files
All of a sudden, my SB3 cuts out while playing m4a files. Everything was fine a few days ago. Here is my set up: Player: SB3, ethernet connection. Server: Mac Mini, Intel Duo Core, 2 Ghz, 2 Gig Ram, connected via WiFi (connection appears to be very fast, no issues with intenet). CPU monitors show little to no load on the system. No significant software running on the server. Problem started on Slim Server 6.5.4, so I upgraded to Squeeze Center, and upgraded the player. No change. I have rebooted several times, but to no avail. MP3 files play fine, and FLAC files play fine from a Windows server (ethernet connection). To my knowledge, nothing has changed on the Mac Mini since betwen the SB3 working fine, and the SB3 not playing m4a files. Any ideas? -- John151 John151's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41733 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 Cutting Out While Playing Apple Lossless Files
The player is displaying "NOW PLAYING (REBUFFERING 0%). Does this indicate the source of the problem? Are there any parameters that I can tweak to solve the problem? Or, is the issue with my network? Anyone? -- John151 John151's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41733 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 Cutting Out While Playing Apple Lossless Files
Eric - I believe you are correct in that the problem lies in the WiFi connection between the Mac and the router. The problems has gone away, at least for now, and I can now once again play lossless files. I am watching the "Network monitor" as I play lossless files, and can clearly see when the player is buffering the music. The graphs goes from nearly idle to maxed out. I think that something was interfering with the network speed for a few days, causing the buffering to fail to keep up. Longer term, the Mac will be tethered to the router via Cat 5, but not until I get everything moved from the the PC (Windows XP) to the Mac. The reason for moving to the Mac is I am so tired of having PC problems, so I was freaking out when the Mac was having problems. So far, I love this little dynamo! -- John151 -------- John151's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41733 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
