[slim] Questions re: bridging with SBR
Sorry I didn't post back sooner. After the first time having trouble with Perl 5.8, I uninstalled it (I had actually installed it over 5.10 the first time, rushing and not thinking and being rather frustrated), rebooted windows twice, and then reinstalled from the msi. In the meantime, I had moved the SBR back downstairs and restored it's settings with the SBC so that it was connected to the stereo. Low and behold, when I ran the shell, if worked exactly like the short instructions in the post by jrfuda; even discovering and configuring over my wireless network. Then I had to struggle with the Pioneer, which only connects to WMP11, at least out of what I have. It wouldn't talk nice to my computer until I went into it's IP configuration and set a static. So everything was working at 6:00 am Saturday and I finally went to sleep. Then, Saturday evening we have a power failure. The SBR/SBC don't seem to play well in power failures, probably because the router goes down and resets all the IPs as things come back up, but the SBR never goes off since it's on batteries. By the time the power came on and I got the music playing, I just didn't feel like messing with the BDP to see if it was still on the network or not. I'd love to help you out with the debugging, Robin, but by the time I saw your post it was working. For what it's worth, I have Windows XP Pro sp2 on my desktop that is running SC7.0.1; I have a Linksys 4-port/Wireless-G router that is set to 192.168.101.1 doing DHCP; the computer upstairs is wired, there is a laptop and a Linksys game adapter hooked up to my Playstation in the living room, and now the SBC/SBR plus the new BDP in the living room as well. There is also another laptop in the basement on wireless. I'm really glad it's working, and thank you very much for the tool and to everyone for the help. I still feel that Logitech should step up to the plate and support the feature fully; especially if they are going to include it in marketing materials that are copied and quoted by sites that sell the product. -- NathanielK NathanielK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17996 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Questions re: bridging with SBR
Radish, I have not seen any of the Official Logitech marketing materials, but when I was comparing the various network music players, I read several positive reviews of the Squeezebox/Duet that mentioned it's ability to bridge and connect a wired-only device like an xBox, Playstation, or other device to a wireless network. None of them mentioned the fact that it was an undocumented and basically unsupported feature. When I got my unit and looked for bridging in the set-up and then the user manual, I found nothing which is why I posted my first message in the beginner's section. I just now did a quick google search and found the following seven reviews in the first page of google results for Squeezebox ethernet bridge: http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/squeezebox-4 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-q9YMPXJuOjG/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=596DUETtp=7046tab=detailed_info http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-audio-receivers-dars/slim-devices-squeezebox-version/1995-6470_7-31884366.html http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/08/1757259 http://www.maclife.com/squeezebox_3 http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/84914 http://www.trustedreviews.com/multimedia/review/2008/04/10/Logitech-Squeezebox-Duet-Network-Music-System/p1 I find it very hard to believe that all of these different sources would mention the bridging feature yet not a single one acknowledges the fact that it is unsupported in the interface or documentation for the product. -- NathanielK NathanielK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17996 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Questions re: bridging with SBR
I uninstalled the 5.10.0.1003 distribution and installed 5.8.8.822 Now when I click on the udap_shell.pl, a command prompt window flashes on the screen for a second and goes away. Is there a different distribution of Active Perl I should look for? -- NathanielK NathanielK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17996 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Questions re: bridging with SBR
I'm trying to set up my new SBC to bridge to my Pioneer Blu-ray player. I have been reading this thread and Robin's wiki page and I'm wondering if there are unspoken steps or gotchas that I am missing. Here is what I've done so far: download and install ActiveState Perl 5.10 download and install tortoise SVN restart windows per tortoise install instructions create a folder at c:\udap_thing checkout the code from http://projects.robinbowes.com/svn/Net-UDAP/trunk/ navigate to c:\udap_thing\scripts and run udap_shell.pl in the shell window, I can execute the help and list commands, but when I try discover I get a huge amount of text. I copied it to notepad and it seems to be this, repeated over and over: Use of uninitialized value $rawstr in length at C:/UDAP_Thing/scripts/../src/Net -UDAP/lib/Net/UDAP/Util.pm line 57. Use of uninitialized value $rawstr in length at C:/UDAP_Thing/scripts/../src/Net -UDAP/lib/Net/UDAP/Util.pm line 67.

I assume I'm missing some compile step or something? -- NathanielK NathanielK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17996 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
