[slim] Display with Slimserver not running
Hello and thank you for this forum. I just installed my first Squeezebox 3 and love it so far. I wonder if it is possible to enable the date and time display when the Slimserver software is not running? The computer hosting the server is often shutdown, and I'd like to keep the display active on the Squeezebox. Is there something I can do, such as logging into the Squeeze Network while the server is off? Thank you for any replies. -- dyohn dyohn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5211 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23383 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Roku Soundbridge Radio Review
Two reasons why I chose a Squeezebox 3 over the Roku 1000: the Squeezebox includes a far better built-in DAC, and the display is much easier to read from across the room. Plus the design of the SB3 is aesthetically simply beautiful... oh, and it includes built-in Pandora support. -- dyohn dyohn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5211 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23465 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Help with networking issue
Hi there. I've been enjoying my Squeezebox 3 for about a year now, but I had to change my wireless router and I'm having trouble. I lost my Linksys router and installed a Belkin model G 4-port wireless router. I can connect to it from the SB3 and get onto the Squeeze Network without any trouble. But I cannot "see" the PC running Slim Server. I opened router ports 9000, 9090 and 3483 for both TCP and UDP to the IP address of the PC, but no luck. I am running Macafee on the PC but I uninstalled the firewall software. The PC is running Win2K SP4 so there is no XP firewall. Any clue to what else I need to check?

Re: [slim] Help with networking issue
Thanks for the reply. I don't have a laptop available to test the system. I can however ping the SB3 from my PC, which is hard wired to the router. The "port opening" is in the Belkin control panel section called "virtual servers." I set the IP address for the PC running Slim Server so calls on the three ports I mentioned are directed to it. Not sure if this is required, but knew those three ports are used by the SB3. The router is connected to a separate DSL modem.

[slim] Another "cannot connect" thread
My SB3 cannot access my slim server 6.5.4. - I get proper connection to the wireless network, IP is properly assigned by the DHCP server, and can access the Squeeze Network without issue. - I can ping the SB3 from the server PC which is running Win XP Pro SP2. - Even though the slim server installation appears to have opened the proper ports in Windows firewall, I have disabled Windows Firewall and have also tried completely uninstalling McAfee Security Center, Personal Firewall and Virus Scan. No luck. - The SB3 gives me the message "connecting to Slimserver" then times out. - The SB3 apparently can see the IP of the slim server PC as it comes up on the SB screen when I set up networking, but it cannot access it. - I have tried creating virtual servers and port openings in the wireless router (Dlink DIR-655) firewall, but it makes no difference no matter what I do. - I downloaded the TCPview utility and it does not show any other devices using ports 9000, 9090 or 3483.

Re: [slim] Another "cannot connect" thread
Thank you for the reply. 1) Yes, the Slim Server is set to "Do Not Block." 2) I double checked and Windows Firewall is off. 3) TCP/IP filtering was on, but all the "permit all" radio buttons were checked. Just to be safer, I turned filtering off and rebooted. No effect, SB3 still cannot connect. I also noticed the "Enable IEEE 802.1.x authentication" was on, so I disabled this as well. No effect. Out of desperation I tried an older wireless router, a Belkin G I had laying around. After swapping it out with the D-Link, the SB3 had no problems connecting to it and to Squeeze Network but still cannot see SlimSever. I really appreciate the help.

Re: [slim] Another "cannot connect" thread
Wow, thanks very much Siduhe, I will carefully go over everything you've suggested. I do have a simple network, by the way> I have two PCs wired to the router and the SB3 connected wirelessly. My Tivo connects to the router through the SB. I am certain there is a firewall issue going on as I can ping out from the PC, and I can ping the SB from the other PC, but the other PC cannot ping the server. It's as if the server PC does not exist. I am using an Intel Pro 100+ Management Adapter NIC. Is it possible it is somehow allowing outgoing packets but blocking incoming? All my Slim Server setting are correct, the Windows firewall is off (or when it was on, the three ports required by Slim Server were open) and all traces of McAfee have been purged from the system. I downloaded (and paid for) the PC Registry Cleaner you suggested. It found over 500 issues and corrected them, but alas it has had no effect. I will go over the rest of your message and see if I can find anything.

Hi. I'm running Vortexbox on a DIY PC with an AMD Athlon processor and 1Gb RAM, so it's a Fedora 20 kernel and LMS 7.8. My library is about 1.4Tb on a 2Tb drive but that's probably not really pertinent to my question. It's not that I think anything is necessarily slow, it's just that I have the ability to replace the MB with a significantly better one. VB will utilize the additional memory and processor speed, but I was just wondering if there is any advantage to LMS. How much transcoding does it do?

OK, I just followed the excellent step-by-step directions from the Vortexbox.org site and got the VAMP up and running in about 20 minutes.

I'm controlling it using the free Logitech Squeezebox iPhone app. Next up is to download iPeng and to order an AudioQuest Dragonfly USB DAC to see if it sounds better than the Turtle Beach.

That's what I've been afraid of since the first time I heard of this project. As a former Olive Opus 4 owner, I can tell you they LOVE their proprietary formats and they want to create and Apple-like closed infrastructure. Plus as least with my Opus, the hardware was a LONG way from reliable... dyohn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5211 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97599 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

That project is interesting but it really is recreating the wheel and at a much higher projected cost. agillis wrote: > You need a USB to SPDIF converter.

Re: [slim] Logitech SqueezeBox replacement for under $30
I control my VAMP from either my iPad or my PC. I have no need for a local display and I hadn't used the one on my now dead Squeezebox for a LONG time. :) dyohn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5211 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97721 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
