[slim] Wireless network strength?
Does anyone know why my new SB3 reports a wireless strength of only 50 to 55% despite it being located within inches of the wireless router? I have no problems with the wireless streaming - no dropouts and such - but I am curious nonetheless Thanks, John -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Airport Express and SB3?
I have an Airport Express which is only a few inches from my SB3. Which would be better to use between the devices: the wireless or the wired connection? Or doesn't it matter. I am asking as my signal strength, despite the WDS being set properly, reads only as 50-55% which makes me wonder how good the SB's internal aerial actually is... -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34973 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Airport Express and SB3?
Thanks. The point is that the Airport Express isn't operating as a router - it connects wirelessly to an AIrport Extreme Base STation (which then connects to the SLimServer machine via wires/switch). So, it's a matter of whether I'd be better off just having one wireless stage or two... -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34973 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Airport Express and SB3?
Good point - maybe they're on the same channel. DIdn't realise that was important (as one is repeating the other). Will try changing it. -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34973 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SB3 and Wake On Lan?
Hi everyone. I am planning to buy a Squeezebox of some description fairly soon - either an SB+ or an SB3 first (to try it all out before I commit myself to the price of an SB+). Anyway, before I order anything I am keen to get the software in place and have installed Ubuntu 6.10 onto a Shuttle XPC that I have (an SN45G V3 - link: http://eu.shuttle.com/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-546/169_read-10008/) This appears to be working and I am able to serve music via the static local IP I have assigned, so that it responds on 10.0.0.27:9000 as it should. That's fine (as far as I can tell) but what isn't is that I want to use Wake On Lan with this machine. I can get it to sleep and can rsume via the power button, but can't get it to wake on a lan request. I have read somewhere that the NForce chipset actually reverses the MAC address, and was therefore wondering if the SB gives you the option to specify a MAC address (rather than static IP) to which it will connect for the purposes of waking the server? If it only uses IP, and the machine fails to wake on a standard IP, how do I set it to wake the Shuttle machine from the SB itself? I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and to the Slimserver system, so any help would be much appreciated... john -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34599 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 and Wake On Lan?
I do have it enabled in the bios - but maybe you'd be so kind as to post your actual bios settings here - I am wondering whether something else has 'conflicted'. What's interesting to me is that this machine had been running a (slightly flakey) installation of XP SP2 before I decided I'd had enough and scrubbed it. However, WOL+Slimserver worked (albeit using SoftSqueeze from a Mac). So I wonder if it's an Ubuntu config thing. Are you on Ubuntu? I've done my fair share of google searches to find answers, and as far as I can tell I have the WOL set properly (using -sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g-) and -sudo ethtool eth0- shows both the WOL settings as 'g' which I reckon is correct. Other than that, I'm a bit perplexed. When the machine is sleeping, I can see that the motherboard has some power - there are some lights on - and the network connection is 'active' insofar as I can see that there's continuity on my router and the little NIC lights are on. It's just that Ubuntu fails to wake up. For that matter, it also doesn't wake on anything other than pressing the power button. Hm... anyone? Bit of good news, though: just ordered an SB3 wireless. My longer term plan is an SB+ or perhaps a modified Behringer DEQ2496 if I can get everything working well with the common-or-garden SB3... -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34599 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Managing compilations...?
Hi. I'm new to SliMServer and such, and I have copied some folders filled with individual tracks from various artists. How can I prevent individual 'one-off' tracks from obscure artists from bloating out my Artists view? I would rather have artists whose contributions are less than (say) 5 songs -not- appear in the Artists view. Is there a way to do this? Also, is there a nice easy way to manage the tagging and what-not? I am guessing that I might archive a lot of my vinyl over time and will need to add tagging. How do I do this (Ubuntu Linux)? -- jtc jtc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34606 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
