Re: [slim] Help! A second hand Squeezebox v3
I've left the whole address to Andy. Judging from its behavior these two days, which is perfectly normal, it doesn't look like a "counterfeit" or clone SB3 sharing the same MAC with a mass production unit. But can production units use the same addresses formerly used by engineering samples?

I have a friend that bought a Cisco Pix box on eBay a while back at a good price. Turns out, the factory in China was making some for Cisco, and making some for themselves.

Re: [slim] Help! A second hand Squeezebox v3
My main concern with this unit is that it sounds like it doesn't have what Logitech calls a 'belly label' on the bottom side of the unit. This label should have the MAC address, which is used to uniquely identify the unit to our SqueezeNetwork service. The MAC address is also visible from the setup menu after the language selection. If your Squeezebox has a MAC address which is already being used by someone else, then you (and the other person) will begin having very strange problems with the user interface when it's connected to SqueezeNetwork. If these units are 'leaking' out of our factory with invalid MAC addresses then this is a very serious problem for us. :( -- ChrisOwens Christopher Owens QA Manager ch...@slimdevices.com ChrisOwens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61948 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

FYI, that is a difference between the SB3 remote and the SB Boom remote. The SB Boom remote cannot repeat button presses the same way the old remote did. Therefore, pressing and holding ADD does not work. In that case, you need to time your pressing ADD with the Logitech logo appearing on the display.

Re: [slim] Help! A second hand Squeezebox v3
It's all OK now. I finnally got into factory mode and finished all the settings. The trick is that once SB3 is powered on, you keep pressing the ADD button again and again, not holding on the button (that way it goes into that dead loop), and the factory mode will appear.

Hi there To get rid of the setup lock code you need to factory reset your SB3. Power up your SB3 and when the Logitech logo scrolls into view, press the add (+) button on the remote. You should see 'Factory Reset' on the display. BTW: Even if you had the correct setup lock code you would not be able to enter it with a Boom remote as you need the number buttons for that.

Re: [slim] Help! A second hand Squeezebox v3
Yes, after power on, it tries to connect to SN first, but stays in that dead loop of "connecting to SN" > "enter the 4-digit code" > "code incorrect" > "impossible to connect to SN". Pressing ADD while unplugging/plugging results in the same situation, no factory reset. One thing somewhat weird: when I push the up and down arrow trying to enter the 4 digits, the blank space x only jerks up and down but no number comes out. Is it because of the wrong remote? Can the remote for SB Boom be used on SB Classic? Another thing: I have SqueezeCenter installed on my computer, but when I doubleclick the SC button to start it, an error message will pop up: "http://127.0.0.1:9000, application not found". That is, clicking on SC from the system tray does nothing, but I can access SC from http://localhost:9000/ or http://127.0.0.1:9000.

I'm thinking that thing goes directly to squeeze network and tries to log on there. Press and hold left arrow. that should take you to the screen where you can choose network set up and sources. Firstly set it up with your local copy of SC. Or ,even better, do a reset (ADD button and unplug/plug in a power) and start from scratch.

Unless we are in some language translation barrier here (Spanish >
Chinese > English) this doesn't sound right. Also, for any SB3 menu
item that requires input I'm pretty sure the UP and DOWN arrows can be
used for alpha-numeric selection.
I'd suggest trying to connect the SB3 to SqueezeCenter on your local
computer first, see if it even works properly within your own network.
Might want to try a Factory Reset as well to wipe out any existing
settings:
Unplug power, press and hold the ADD (+) button, plug power back in
while holding down that ADD button, leave it alone for a couple of
minutes (screen goes blank for a while, wait for the screen to come
back on).

Hello everyone,
I am from China. I have bought a second hand Squeezebox classic media
player on an auction site named taobao.com. It comes with the small
remote designated for Squeezebox Boom instead of that for the classic
with alphanumeric keys. Its display language is Spanish. When I plugged
it on, it prompted me "escriba codigo de bloqueo de configuracion"
("enter the configuration block code"). But with the wrong remote I can
enter nothing, either numbers or letters. And then it tries to connect
to Squeezenetwork, then gives the message "codigo de bloqueo de
configuracion incorrecto" (wrong configuration block code). What on
earth is that "codigo de bloqueo de configuracion"? What should I do to
make it connect to Squeezenetwork? Must I replace the remote, or contact
the previous owner to tell me the "codigo de bloqueo de configuracion"?
The problem now is how to make my Squeezebox connect to the
SqueezeNetwork. I created my SqueezeNetwork account without entering
the SB PIN code. I don't know it because I can't enter the Squeezebox
settings without this "codigo de bloqueo de configuracion".
I really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
