Re: [slim] SB3 Display Dead. What now?
I hesitated opening the case, and now the analog audio outputs are also out of order (only noise comes out). So, it has to go back. But thanks for your replies anyway. -- pulp_136 pulp_136's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47015 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 Display Dead. What now?
thanks for your replies. I'll check for the warranty and I will also try removing the wireless card. I'll let you know how it goes. Can someone answer my first question? Can the SB3 be completely configured through the web interface? I'm a little worried that I will lose all functionality if I accidentally reset it. -- pulp_136 ---- pulp_136's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47015 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SB3 Display Dead. What now?
After about 22 months the SB3 display is dead. Apart from that, the device is completely functional through the web interface or the cli. I tried the Brightness button, it didn't help. Since I still use it every day, sending it for repair is not that simple. 1. If I reset the unit, will I be able to reconfigure it (give an IPAdress etc.), through the web interface or any other way with the display blank? 2. I was about to open the case to check the display contacts. But then I read in an other thread that these contacts are fixed and so not likely to be loose. I also wanted to disable the wireless card (I only use LAN), but I found no indication that it can bring the display back. I'm afraid of a reset that will not allow me to reconfigure. Anyone had a similar situation (workable unit with a bad display)? Is it worth to try to fix it myself? thanks in advance pulp -- pulp_136 ---- pulp_136's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47015 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: NAS JUST for file storage?
thank you for your responce so I'm gonna have to install slimserver on a NAS. There seems to be no way round it, since I'm not willing to use a PC as a Server. after reading the posts about installing and using slimserver in NAS boxes, two things are unclear to me: - do the speed problems that other users have refer just to the building of databases, or after it too? If it was just the database build it wouldn't bother me, but how is control through another PC (web interface or CLI) after that? - what's the most suitable NAS solution for the job? I like the linkstation but is ReadyNAS faster? (nslu2 seems to be too slow). By the way, the friendly community here is definitely a buying reason for the squeezebox. thanks pulp -- pulp_136 ---- pulp_136's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19839 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] NAS JUST for file storage?
Hallo and Happy New Year to everyone. I read all the posts about the problems users have using NAS Storage with Slimserver. However they were all refering to using NAS for RUNNING Slimserver. I would like to ask if a different approach would be possible. That is, using NAS just for storage, and run slimserver on another networked PC (a small touchscreen PC for example). >From the touchscreen PC I'm only interested in sending CLI commands to the squeezebox. Like "add file xxx.mp3 to the queue". Since I have my own database I don't care about the database features of slimserver. What I do care about is that the file go directly from the NAS to the squeezebox and not through the touchscreen PC. That way I can even shutdown the PC after loading a playlist and music would keep playing. Would something like that be possible (with maybe nslu2)? sorry for the long post pulp -- pulp_136 ---- pulp_136's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19839 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
