This way you can browse albums and artists in random order. Moose has this option and I use it a lot. Its a fun way to decide what you want to listen to next. thanks, Peter I am having the same problem with my n800 w/os2008 using built in mozilla browser and the n770 skin. No artwork when playing rhapsody tracks on 'now playing screen. Also no progress bar on the 'now playing' screen. BTW thanks Ben for a great skin for a great platform!!

Re: [slim] Problems Keeping SBC Connected via wireless
I just wanted to follow up to ensure that everyone knew what the issue was with my setup in case others are having similar problems. It turns out that the problem was my wireless router. Despite the fact that the SBR was connecting fine and streaming fine from the Squeezecenter server on my pc and the fact that i have never have ANY connection problems with my laptop as far as browsing the internet is concerned. Ive been running this router for the better part of a year now. As i mentioned above my router was the linksys WRT54GX2 ver 2 that i got refurbed from tigerdirect. Im not really sure if it is a defect with the router or if it is an incompatibility between that router and the SBC, but per my post above it really gives the SBC fits. I switched out my wireless router to a new belkin F5D 7230-4 ver 7001 and all of the connection problems my SBC was having disappeared. The unit works absolutely flawlessly now. Id like to thank everyone on this board for their support. Id also like to thank Anoop and all of the support guys from Slimdevices. You all were fantastic to work with. They shipped me a new unit to try out. They offered to take the entire duet system back, pay for the shipping and give me all of my money back. They went the extra mile to try to make this work for me. Im so excited that the unit is working now. it is a revolutionary device. Ill be posting some usability issues in another post. I cant wait to see the software evolve.

Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection
Guys, I was having all of the same problems you guys were with my SBC showing the same symptoms. I did absolutely EVERYTHING to try to debug the problem. Laptop was connecting fine to the internet through wireless. SBR was connecting fine through wireless and could be controlled flawlessly through Squeezecenter. EVERYTHING WAS POINTING AWAY FROM MY WIRELESS ROUTER BEING THE ISSUE. *Turns out the problem was indeed my wireless router. * I changed out my wireless router with a new Belkin F5D unit ($40 at Best Buy) and all of my problems went away. The SBC works flawlessly now. For reference my old router was a refurb from Tiger Direct. A Linksys WRT54GX2. I dont have any idea whether the issue is actually the fault of the SBC or the router itself, but my stuff is working now and it was WELL worth the $40 to get this thing working.

Re: [slim] Problems Keeping SBC Connected via wireless
I am still in the long slow process of debugging this situation. I turned off wireless security on my router as i mentioned in my post above, and thought that had improved the situation, however about 1 hour after having done the factory reset with the new security disabled wireless, the drop-outs returned again. At this point the only way for me to control the SBR using the SBC is to turn it off and on every time i want to 'change something' (such as pause, ff, etc). The SBR can be very reliably controlled via the squeezecenter software. Everything indicates that my wireless signal strength is fine. I have used msconfig to disable all services/firewalls/anti-virus off of the machine i am running squeezecenter on. This still does not make a difference. My thinking now is that there is something defective about my SBC. I am in contact with anoop from techsupport. I can only hope that he can help me to resolve these problems. Thanks for the reply btw.

Re: [slim] Problems Keeping SBC Connected via wireless
Zaragon, First of all, thanks for the response. When i said 'bridged mode' in a previous post i was referring to the setup where the SBR is wired and the SBC connects directly to the SBR via ad-hoc network. Sorry if i confused things by saying bridged mode below. This situation does take the wireless network out of the equation and should point to the wireless network being the problem. However, the thing that still keeps me thinking that something is wrong with the SBC and not the router (or its settings) is that the SBR has no problems connecting and holding connection with the router wirelessly. It will play music without end connected to my home network wirelessly. I can also control the SBR flawlessly with the squeezecenter software when it is connected to the wireless router wirelessly. I only tried the ad-hoc 'bridged' mode for debugging purposes. Given the location of the receiver i want to use i must use full wireless or 'normal' mode. The only thing that is having problems connecting is the SBC. Even if i continuously use the SBC while the router, SBC and SBR are all in the same room (when all is set up to be wirelessly connected) it still loses its connection. Setting things up like this was another attempt to debug the situation. -- poulsen11 poulsen11's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44794 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Problems Keeping SBC Connected via wireless
Ive been having a lot of problems getting my SBC to STAY connnected to my Wifi network. SBC=Squeezebox controller SBR=Squeezebox receiver Here is my original setup: 1 SBC 1 SBR Squeezecenter 7.0 on a Windows XP computer with Windows Firewall ON and ports opened specifically for squeezecenter. F-secure anti-virus on with its built in firewall turned OFF. WRT54GX2 wireless G linksys wireless router with WPA-TKIP/AES turned on, no mac filtering or other special security turned on. What works: I can very reliably control the SBR with Squeezecenter. Music plays perfectly with no skipping I can set up the SBC and SBR over and over successfully, everything connects properly and succeeds. Light on SBR always indicates good connection to both music source and wifi What doesnt work: Immediately after the setup sequence after factory reset of the SBC, the SBC works reliably and can control the SBR well and the SBR plays music perfectly. Sometime between 1 and 5 minutes after setup the SBR starts having connection problems with the network/music source. The SBR continues to play music perfectly. The SBC starts showing 'blue' on the wireless strength meter and i get the 'try again' and 'choose music source' options with the message that the 'squeezebox is having problems connecting to the network. Again, the SBR continues to play music perfectly according to the last command given it by the SBC. I have plenty of signal strength on the SBC and the distance from the wireless router does not matter, i have tried setting everything up in one room and see the same problem. I have setup my unit in 'bridged mode' with everything in the same room and it works perfectly, but i dont want to run it in this mode, so i went back and re-set everything up in full wireless mode. After re-setting everything up again, I started looking at the network information on the SBC under settingswireless networks(my network name) to try to see if it was network connection problems. turns out that about every minute or so the IP address field turns to 'nil' and the status reads 'connecting'. This symptom was occurring with everything in the same room (SBC, SBR, and wireless router). This definitely pointed to the wireless connection as the problem. I then took a shot in the dark and disabled wireless security completely on the wireless router and did a factory reset again, going through the setup process successfully. After doing this, everything was working perfectly while the SBC was in the same room with everything else. Then i moved the SBC a couple of rooms away from the SBR and router (about 30 feet) and things are STILL working perfectly. Im going to continue to experiment with the security to see if maybe my security type is the issue or if my security key is too long for the SBC for some reason. My key was as long as you can use for WPA personal. I so want this thing to just work. It is a fantastic product and i cant wait to get 'settled in' with it. I hope someone can comment/help, or that this helps someone else out there having a problem. -- poulsen11 poulsen11's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44794 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
