 How did you resolve the problem?

I have used as many as 8 Squeezebox devices via Linux (Gentoo, Ubuntu)
for about 7 years with zero problems, so this is an embarrassing
revelation.  I suspect it's old age setting in.

My server and TP network connection were fine, and strangely the TP's
power supply also appeared to be fine. Observing the
rebuffering/skipping and the 49 volt reading reported in LMS, I assumed
they were related and pointed to a TP hardware failure.  

I neglected to eliminate one other variable.  I use this TP with an
external DAC, a dCS Vivaldi, using the Vivaldi's clock.  The Vivaldi was
the source of the problem with firmware corruption that required a
factory reset to resolve. The only other source I use with the Vivaldi
is DoP, but I'm in the middle of rebuilding the computer over the
holidays, so I only have the TP running through the Vivaldi at the
moment.

Re: [slim] Faulty Transporter...Help needed

 3- In the squeezecenter information screen the voltage is reported at
49V 

One of my Transporters has began to periodically pause a couple of
seconds as it rebuffers music.  LMS also began reporting 49 volts as
well.  Resetting to defaults didn't help.   I get DMM readings of 5v and
12v on the circuit board and the VFD is operating fine, so the power
supply might be fine.  This isn't a server/network problem as my other
TPs are operating fine.

I have seen a couple posts with TP failures also reporting 49 volts.  
Does anyone have an idea of the root cause?

I resolved the problem.  The reporting of 49 volts, which remains, was
unrelated.  My TP will live another day :)

Re: [slim] How many of you have spare squeezeboxes?

 Uhmmm, you won indeed the hard core award :)

I suspect I'm a contender, but I haven't won yet.  Logitech continues to
sell Transporters, and I'm sure others are stocking up for what looks to
be a long drought in quality server based network music players.

Re: [slim] How many of you have spare squeezeboxes?

2012-09-20 Thread caseyse

Well.

I have 4 Transporters in use with 3 spare.
2 Radios in use with 4 spare.
4 new Receivers and 2 used but taken out of service.
Several Controllers.

I'm keeping the Transporters and Radios, but have begun unloading the
Receivers on *bay.   Prior to using Squeezboxes, I had 8 Rio Receivers
in use powered by JReceiver (gawd these were primitive.)  I'm extremely
happy with Squeezebox (running LMS via Linux) and have no plans to
replace them.  Also long extinct, I have 3 cars with empeg players (also
Linux powered) with a few spares - I still love those empeg players
(modded w. illuminated buttons, stacked/soldered RAM chips, Hijack
kernel, 500GB storage.) 

Long time lurker,

- Sean
