Re: [slim] Reset SB3 without fully working remote?

I was looking under "Settings" after normal boot-up, not in the initial setup menu. However, there the SB3 seems to have an issue with the power supply connector. I bought a replacement PS because it would not work with the spare SBT power supply I've got lying around, but either the connector of the new one is slightly too wide or there's something wrong on the SB3 side (bad soldering?). If it boots up and I don't touch it, everything fine, but sometimes physical movement makes it switch off. WIFI itself works fine and the card was not loose. Some of the soldering did not look shiny (which I think the should, but that's really not my forte). pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111398 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Reset SB3 without fully working remote?
I'd like to sell my old SB3 (classic), but the remote took some damage from a leaking battery, so the upper buttons (Sleep, Power, Skip/Pause, Add) are not working anymore (not sure if that could be fixed using conducting lacquer?). The arrow keys and everything below are working fine, so I was able to do a Xilinx reset, but not a complete factory reset. Is there any way to trigger a factory reset without a remote? Do I need to program an RPi to send the code or can I trigger something via some network command? pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111398 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) Repair Considerations
So after building a piCorePlayer with the 'RaspTouch' (https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/boitiers-diy-boitiers-divers/rasptouch-chassis-accessories-and-touchscreen-7-kit-diy-black-p-11250.html) chassis (very nice, but costly), I moved the SBT from the living room to replace the "broken" SB3 in the bed room. Well, it turns out that blasting the amps remote didn't work either. Either there's an issue with RC5 codes, my hardware documentation is entirely wrong (doubtful, got it from the hardware support engineer of the manufacturer) or this amp has an IR sensor that needs REALLY bright LEDs. The amp's remote works fine and is quite bright when viewed with an IR-sensing smart phone. The IR blaster LEDs connect to the squeezebox barely show up on the phone, but work fine when glued to the sensor of the other amp in the living room. Oh well. Now I've got a spare SB3 that's working fine, but still no IR for that pesky amplifier. Reasonable offers for the SB3 are welcome (postage outside of Europe is probably prohibitive, though). pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109775 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Help needed configuring Audiophonics power button shut-off in piCorePlayer

If you meant the GPIOs, Im using the button/power supply together with an Audiophonics HAT, which has special pins for this. So I am using the standard GPIOs, but I dont know what the overlay settings should be. (I think I know, but then the shutdown sometimes only happens after the next reboot finishes (which I trigger via the web interface), not on its own.

I've experimented a bit more. "Pull" has to be set to "up", otherwise nothing at all happens when I press the button in its operational state.

Re: [slim] Help needed configuring Audiophonics power button shut-off in piCorePlayer
I've got the new Audiophonics PI-SPC II connected with the power button from the RaspTouch case and after some fiddling, it works - sort of. The button stops blinking on boot up, and the shutdown handler gets triggered when there is absolutely no load. As soon as a song is playing, it takes several minutes (seemingly forever) until the player gets actually shut down. What's the best way to debug this? /usr/local/bin/shutdown-monitor is running. (I've got a lot of experience with Linux/Unix, but very little with the RPi eco system. With pCP,, my investigation has been hampered by the lack of persistent log files.) pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110421 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Is it time to abandon my Squeezebox Classics?
I'm also thinking of abandoning my aging SB3 (late Logitech era, all black). While the SB3 itself works fine (though the reported WIFI strength is very low), the IR emitter seems to be fried - no output generated by IR blaster (checked with a phone that reliably can see the IR diodes firing). Of course it might only be a problem in the analog audio path to the headphone jack (probably the usual capacitor death syndrome). Unfortunately, my soldering skills are severely lacking, so putting together a pCP is the easier solution. pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110260 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
