[slim] 5g wifi speakers? sick of 2g squeezebox issues but still want to continue using LMS..
So I would like to start adding on to my squeezebox environment. I'm sick of dealing with wifi issues and rebuffering and the speakers being somewhat outdated now that I'd like to start thinking of how to slowly sift out of the squeezebox hardware. I still see myself using the radios and touch until the screens die as the weather and functionality is great, even if the sound quality is awful(it was good in its day). I'm looking for speakers where I can Bluetooth stream from my phone if I want, as well as see these speakers on LMS to be able to play right from LMS to the speakers. Audioengine and various others make Bluetooth speakers, but what I'm looking for as well is for the same speakers to show up on LMS without an actual LMS client. Are there are there any out there other than having to add a squeezebox client, is there a way through a dlna supported speaker to see it on LMS? kllngtme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30198 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115333 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Ubiquiti
Thanks for all the replies. I know I'm getting interference on 2.4 for sure but there's nothing I can do about it so I really wasn't even sure another AP would fix the issue. I really wish there were a way to upgrade the internal radio. I have actual squeezeboxes cause I like having a screen. 4 radios, a boombox, a touch and 2 classics sitting idle. I appreciate the idea for having the external client AP, good idea instead of using a powerline Ethernet cable system which I've been considering. I feel like if everything was on 5G it'd be fine. I'm still not really sure the best way to approach this. I'd like to continue using the original hardware considering the screen. I like it for a weather station. I feel like I have no good options haha kllngtme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30198 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Squeezebox and Ubiquiti
So I'm having problems with all my SB's over wifi dropping out and rebuffering constantly. I'm in a 1 story ranch while every other house around me are 2 story houses. I have 1 Unify UAP AC Pro and have been considering upgrading for a while. While there is the newer NanoHD AP's, I've read that the UAP-AC Long Range works well with devices that have weak 2.4 radios in them. What does everyone think? If I were to upgrade specifically for my Squeezeboxes, what would you do? kllngtme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30198 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezePlay for Windows with ASIO, DirectSound, WASAPI and WDMKS device support.
For a long time I've been using Squeezelite in conjunction with Squeezeplay as I read squeezelite had better audio support. I only use Squeezeplay for controlling it. Is the latest release of Squeezeplay up to date as far as audio quality compared to squeezelite? Another question I have is more related to LMS itself. How do I find out what is streaming from the server right now? Is there a way to find out which player is playing music, and what it's streaming at?

[slim] intercom feature?
I saw the post about the Touch having a built in microphone and suggestions that one might be able to do an intercom type system if the other squeezeboxes had a microphone as well. Has there been any work done for this to implement it? Even if the feature is built just exclusively for the Touches, I would implement the feature for sure! Would there be a way to use the speaker in the radio as the microphone?

[slim] Remote Streaming stopped working after replacing router
Last night I replaced my Fios router and setup all the port forwarding as it should be. My issue is weird and I still think it might have to do with my router but I'm not sure at this point what else to do. I can login and get to my LMS remotely from the computer I want to stream from with no problems. That right there tells me my port forwarding is working. For whatever reason though, my players aren't able to connect. I was using squeezelite to connect and stream and I've tried squeezeplay as well with no luck. Port 9000 is the port I'm using and it is forwarded as mentioned. What I've noticed on my server is this log, but I'm not sure if it has to do with my problem: Code: [15-07-09 10:04:02.3249] Slim::Networking::SqueezeNetwork::Players::_players_error (337) Unable to get players from SN: Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor, retrying in 86400 seconds Anyone have any ideas?

Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
Now that I'm using Orange Squeeze for the most part as the main app to control my squeezeboxes since the official Logitech app stopped working with Android System Webview, I wanted to try and tackle an issue I've been having with Orange Squeeze continuing throughout the updates along the way. The basic problem is, the app will almost freeze or not load the menus. I'll have to close the app and it will populate the menus again correctly. I'm not sure if it's every menu, but it's more or less just what it has to populate from the server. The pause button or next track button will work but when I'm looking into Artists or New music or even the Artists albums, it will say Loading and then nothing populates. The whole app seems to be weird at that point and only certain things work and populate correctly. Like it's anything that populates from the server that has an issue. Restarting the app works fine everytime but it's a bit cumbersome. I'm using the app on a Verizon Samsung S4.

For the most part, to describe what's happening, it's almost as if the soundcard can't handle the bass. Whenever there's a bassy part to a song the other parts diminish, the volume, the treble, everything to the song gets drowned out. That's really the only want to describe it, it has horrible quality during that time. Adjusting the volume doesn't really seem to matter, it's like the sound card can't handle certain frequencies.
