[slim] How to play 5.1 Flac files? SB3
I finally have a surround-sound setup and would like to try playing some FLACs through my SB3. Unfortunately the two files I have tried, have done nothing. They never play. I couldn't find a basic primer about setting up the SB3 to do this. I thought it was automatic. Are there certain types of 5.1 content that will/won't work? Any tips?

[slim] 7.4 - Save me from this nightmare!!
My Squeezebox Duet and Squeezebox Boom have just been reduced to very expensive paper weights. Well, at least the Squeezebox Boom is also a very expensive clock radio. So, on Wednesday I received Logitech's email announcement about the upgrade to Squeezebox Server 7.4. Excited, I downloaded and installed the update that night. I had been running SqueezeCenter 7.3.x on a ReadyNAS hard drive. My iTunes music library is also saved on that drive, which is what SqueezeCenter used as the source of my music. Everything had been working well. After installing the upgrade, I found that it had erased all my settings. I had to set up my favorites, podcasts, alarms etc. from scratch. But I eventually got it to work. Then I tried to use the iTunes plug-in to scan my library. Disaster. Scanning this forum, I quickly learned that the new SqueezeServer was not compatible with the iTunes plug-in. No problem. I disabled it, restarted the server, rescanned my entire library, and then . . . . nothing. The software would not play any of my music (m4a files). I rebooted the hard drive and rescanned my entire library again. Same result. I have wasted my entire weekend troubleshooting this problem, to no avail. The players will not lay any of the music in my library. I note, however, that I can stream radio stations and podcasts just fine. I just got on this forum again, to trouble shoot, and saw posts mentioning version 7.4.1 of the upgrade. Great, I thought, maybe this fixes the problem. So I went to download the 7.4.1 versions. To my horror I saw an announcement: Squeezebox Server 7.4 is not currently available for ReadyNAS So, now I find that I have a version of the server software that is incompatible with my hard drive. And, I have no way to go back and instal the previous version that works. I am at my wits end. Before this upgrade, I enthusiastically recommended these products to everyone. Now, I want desperately to return them, get my money back and buy a Sonos!

[slim] Apple Airport Extreme w/ Guest network: problem with accessing SB server with iPeng
Wasn't sure if this was best posted here or on the Apple forums. I recently bought a new Apple Airport Extreme router. I'm replacing an older Airport Extreme. This time I created a Guest Network which lets me have what I assume is basically a virtual secondary network for guests to use and my iPhones/ipod. On their own, they seem to be working great. I have static ip (10.0.1.?) addresses for everything on my main network, and DHCP (171.???.???.???) on the guest one. Here's my problem which I only discovered because of the iPeng iPhone app. I recently bought the newest version (1.2) and it works great if my server computer and the phone are on the same network. But, I want the iPhone to be on the guest network and leave the server on my main network. I tried adding all variations of the server's ip address as the instructions describe (10.0.1.2, 10.0.1.2:9000 and http://10.0.1.2:9000) but apparently because the iphone is on the guest network, it isn't letting me do it. The question: Can I access a device/computer on a different wireless network? And how is it done? I realize now that if this is possible, I could have a lot more devices on my guest network so I don't add more ip conflicts on my main network. Thanks!

I've had my setup for awhile (2 SB plus running Softsqueeze - WinXP machine for the server - for more than 1.5 years now).

They play fine using in and all alternate media players I have (MediaMonkey, WMP, itunes). I have 6.54 slim server running. What happens is that it appears the song gets stuck at the end of the track and won't proceed to the next track. If I skip over the track, it plays the next one fine.

Any other ideas? make sure that you make that change when you have the server off. prefs are written out as the server stops, so any change when the server is running will just get overwritten. Also, changing the prefs file directly doesn't affect an already running server. -k That did it. Thanks! Clearly I still have lots to learn about my SB3. - SL -- Sam Lowry Sam Lowry's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3447 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21109 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
