Re: [slim] poll: how many have AirPlay devices ?
If Airplay can sync, or be made to sync, that would be a significant benefit. I do not use any of the options you offered. Also, don't need anything other than 44.1/16. I too run LMS on a Pogo E02, and I doubt it has the capacity to transcode. I do not use Airplay at the moment, but it would be a nice feature. mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105060 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Possible to revive bricked Squeezebox classic?
Net::UDP does work with a SB3. You have to start from a full reset of the SB3 however so it will be looking for a connection, if I understand correctly. There's a reset and then a Xilinx reset as well. I don't remember how to do them, so you'll have to search, or wait for someone with a better memory. I used Net::UDP to recover a SB3 with a bad display. If your display is working, you should not need it, I think. In my experience the SB3s can be cranky when changing anything with wireless. I'd try the full reset technique and see if you can start from scratch. ---- mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98840 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Great. Make sure the 192.168.1.200 is indeed outside the range of addresses that your router uses for dhcp. My Linksys has a setting for the range of dhcp addresses, starting at 192.168.1.100. You can limit the number of connections by reducing the range. I don't know what the default is, I have mine set at 100 to 119, for 20 connections. mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Couple of things: If you want a static ip on your desktop, you need to set the address outside the range of dhcp addresses that the router assigns. For my Linksys router, the dhcp addresses start at 192.168.1.100. Anything less than 100 can be used for static. For static on the desktop, you need to manually set the address, the gateway (router) address, the subnet mask (255.255.255.0), and the DNS addresses. You can get those from the router admin settings. Or use public DNS servers, Google has some, but they will probably serve you ads based on what you look at. I don't think it is essential to have a static ip for the server, but it is better to always know where it is. For the Squeezebox: Here is my Net::UDP output, without the wireless stuff (all are irrelevant): > UDAP [1] (squeezebox xx)> list > bridging: 0 > hostname: > interface: 1 *-- 1 means wired-* > lan_gateway: 192.168.1.1 *-- router address-* > lan_ip_mode: 0 *-- static ip-* > lan_network_address: 192.168.1.18 *-- address of squeezebox-* > lan_subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0 > primary_dns: 8.8.4.4 *-- a Google DNS server-* > secondary_dns: 0.0.0.0 > server_address: 0.0.0.0 > squeezecenter_address: 192.168.1.12 *-- address of the server when > setup, have used many others since, including DHCP assigned-* > squeezecenter_name: > Explanations in bold. I'm thinking the server addresses and name are dynamic, and if you could see this with the SB running, you would see the address and name of the server that is currently connected. Note that the SB and server addresses are outside the dhcp range of the router, <100. ---- mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Standby. I did exactly this, but I need to do some research to get up to speed. I used a fixed IP address on the SBC and use it wired. It may take some time to get it setup wireless, security and password need some effort, IIRC. If you could run wired, your life will be easier. You're on the right track to get it working wired first. I'm not sure how server address and squeezecenter address work. I entered values for these, but have since moved servers around, different addresses, and they always find the SB. The lan_gateway needs to be the IP of your router. Can you post the output of the list command so we can see what you have set? -------- mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Possible to revive bricked Squeezebox classic?
It might also be a dead display. The display seems to especially susceptible to being dropped. This happened to mine. The Toslink was lighted and the power supply was good, but without a display, hard to tell if working and also hard to use. But, it can be rescued with the Net::UDP tool that you can find on this forum. It's command line and you have to be patient to work through it. I rescued my SB3 and it works just fine as a "blind" player.

Re: [slim] Using Andriod Phone as remote but not as phone
You don't need a cell data plan if the phone has wi-fi and you have wi-fi. Of course, now that I said that, both you (that is, your house) and the phone need wi-fi in order to communicate with the Touch, or whatever. You'd turn on the wi-fi on the phone, go to Google Play and find an app. I use Orange Squeeze. Not free but pretty inexpensive. -------- mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98004 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox v3 screen black but s/pdif port lit up
The display has probably died. Happened to me, and seems moderately common. AFAIK, there's no repair available, or even possible. However, if only the display is dead, you can communicate with it using a utility called net-UDAP that has a thread here on the forum. Using net-UDAP, you can configure the network connections and then you're able to control the player from SBS/LMS or various remote control apps. Essentially, you now have a receiver. The configuration is command line intensive, and you need to know basic networking parameters like ip address, dhcp, dns, wpa etc. Wired is easier than wireless, but wireless can be done. You can check in on the net-UDAP thread for help and more info. -------- mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97155 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
