[slim] 4 out of 5 devices stopped connecting
I have 3 SBCs, and a SBR and a Boom Only ONE will work (one of the Classics). I had been sucessfully using homeplugs or hardwire ethernet for the last 3 years, and in the last few months, all of these have crapped out on me. When I set up, I get a message ethernet connection not detected. I have tried plugging them into the router (which works with other devices) directly, and I still get ethernet connection not detected. I can get intermittent access via wifi if I connect to SBS instead of SB.com. I don't want to have to connect to SBS. When I connect to SB.com the screens go black and I can only move the screen if I unplug/replug. The working Classic gets daily use, it has a linear power supply. The Boom got daily use. The others got occasional use. Now the system has gone to crap. What can I do? I wouldn't think that all the power supplies crapped out at once. -- roll - gybe roll - gybe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8975 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88507 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 4 out of 5 devices stopped connecting
Other ethernet devices work. I have read a little about the power supplies dying off, but I have a 6 month old Boom, that's exhibiting really flaky behavior. I will try my adjustable power supplies tonight, but considering I can get them to run SBS over wifi some of the time, I think I have already run the control and variable. -- roll - gybe roll - gybe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8975 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88507 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SBR and signal strength
Hey guys, I added an SBR to my network of SB3s. I am running it wirelessly over wireless-b. I have 2 ethernet wired SB3s and one running on the wireless-g upstairs. The SBR has 73%-75% signal strength, and it stutters like crazy. It stutters with FLAC, AAC, MP3 256, and S/N. Is this at all normal? I tested the SBR upstairs in my main stereo. Over a powerline AV connector on a different floor, no problem. Wirelessly connected near the wireless-g router no problem. I am not sure what to think. Here is one option, but I don't know how I would execute: When I use the SBR is when I am in my office. When I am in my office, I have my computer in my office. I use wireless in my office because it is on the other side of the house from the router. I prefer to hook into my main wireless-g router. (SBR gets 35% off that one, which has a different address and channel) Can I hook up my wireless-b in my office without an internet connection to connect my computer to the SBR (computer still hooked up to the wireless-g for internet)? If so will I be able to use S/N? \ I guess I asked 2 questions: -is my SBR behavior normal? -can i jump from the sbr right onto my pc? trying not to go buy more network rubble.

Re: [slim] SBR and signal strength
Mark, thanks for your detailed response. In fact, my home office has no wired connection. I connect through my faint, but effective wireless-g network. My office is on a lower floor, across the house from the wireless-g router. I have a SB3 wired down on the lower level, but is is also on the opposite side of the house. Before spending more money on powerline adaptors and otherwise worthless stuff, I wanted to try my old wireless B router as an access point. I reset the configuration, and hooked my ethernet line near my SB3 into it. I plugged my SB3 into a port, and hooked the SBR up to it wirelessly. I tried hooking my computer to it wirelessly, and it works no problem. So that is the set-up. I am really just trying to be smart and not spend another hundred bucks when I have all these devices laying around the house. -- roll - gybe roll - gybe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8975 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58659 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SquuezeBox Classic Remote Control
I have the harmony 880 upstairs and an MX downstairs. The harmony is colorful and my wife pretty much knows how to use it. However, the MX is much more straightforward. The harmony is convoluted and complicated. They try to force you to use activities which work great when you start from scratch, but if you want to go from watching a DVD to listening to SB or something like going from listening to SB to watching cable TV, you are pretty screwed. MX has a punchthrough functionality which means you can use your volume buttons to control the amp when you have SB active. Very intuitive. The harmony only lets you do this when you are in activity mode. To get into activity mode, an on/off macro goes off, so if everything isn't off, then you are all messed up. So... on the harmony, i reprogrammed certain functions with ir learn to control things in normal device mode the way i want them controlled. If I had known i would need to jump through these hoops, I would have purchased a second MX. Now my wife is pretty good with what I have programmed into the harmony. however, she picks up the SB stock controller to adjust the music. I think this is interesting b/c she hates all the remotes and favors the universal. Also b/c she will only use what is easiest. Another note - on the harmony, why are things like power toggle for the SB on page 3 of the LCD? This is absurd for logitech to be so moronic. I probably need to get back in there and do some more reprogramming, but it is kind of like cleaning your closet... -- roll - gybe roll - gybe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8975 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52757 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Added Second SB3 - now stuttering other issues
Ok, I have run the network test and I get 100% all the way up to 3000kps. My files are flac. I have resolved the IP issue, and I now have 2 static IP addresses for the two players. However, the player with the better signal (60%-80%)is now giving me Rebuffering 0% every 3rd or 4th song. I do pick up a trace of a neighbor's signal on my laptop, but it is faint - our houses are over 100 feet apart. If I change channels on my router, does this affect other hardware (printer) that uses the network? Does it change the wireless key?

Re: [slim] Added Second SB3 - now stuttering other issues
Ok, I poked around a little IP address is DHCP. I'm not sure that the 2 SB3s are getting discreet addresses. (ha, not that I know enough to really figure it out...) Signal strenght was an issue - it was dipping down to 20%. I pulled it out of the rack and now it only dips to 50%, so that is better. Then my wife used the microwave and POW. Nuked. I think the signal strength is better now. I'll keep troubleshooting. New issue I noticed last night: My 2nd SB3 was only playing 1 song on repeat. I was choosing the song via the remote. When I tried to put in a playlist on the SS, the original SB3 turned on and played. The only way I could figure out how to control the new/2nd SB3 was to synch it with the original and have the whole house play. 1. Anyone know how to specify which SB3 is playing at the moment? 2. When I move to a dedicated server, how will I be able to play albums on the 2nd SB3 instead of individual songs? I prefer to browse by artist. My orginal SB3 seems to play an entire album in sequence after I choose the first song via browse by artist (this is the behavior I want). 3. Do I need static IP addresses?

Its location is on the other side of a thick wall from the router. Now the original SB3 is stuttering and locking up. The new one seems to work fine. The original SB3 is in the same location. I have a good - excellent signal on my laptop in proximity to the stuttering SB3. When I installed the new SB3, the only thing I did in Slimserver was to name it. I don't know if they are assigned different IP addresses. Also, when I use Slimserver, I can only control the original SB3. How do I gan control of both/either SB3s?

[slim] Ideal remote to browse slimserver? (not nokia 770 though)
Hey, so here what my future setup will look like when complete. Arcam amp; squeezebox: hidden windows pc as server; laptop. (plans for amp/sb3 in a second room as well.) I would really like to run the whole setup from a device that is more handheld in nature, as opposed to the laptop. When I get this project done, I'll have enough gear to set up a second squeezebox in another room. I would like to be able to browse slimserver with a handheld. I can't really see myself putting my laptop on my nightstand, and I don't want to sit around with it on my couch all the time. The PSP looks like a convenient way to go. It seems like the joystick could be a good way to navigate. I read some comments about how just getting for the SB isn't a great idea. Why is that? I have a Pronto at work and it really sucks for me. I'm not a big touch-screen fan. Do any of the Harmony or Universal remotes allow you to browse slimserver? Is there a good pocket pc alternative. Would any of these alternatives let me carry the remote into the other room to drive a second SB? What else should I be asking?
