Unless you are Factory Resetting the players you should not have to reenter your MySB login info onto each player beyond initial setup. No MySB account is even needed if using your local SBS and using the Internet Radio menu items. Connecting any player directly to MySB online does indeed require a valid MySB account on that player. The older players (SB3 & Boom), and I believe the Receiver, would "auto-register" themselves onto MySB by simply adding your MySB login info onto SBS then connecting those players to SBS. Unfortunately the newer players (Touch & Radio) cannot do this and must be registered independently. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81846 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
Hi Pippin, Thanks again for the reply. I see so the user needs a unique ID to get a remote server instance to control. Perhaps then it could be stored in the player and reset if necessary like a modem/router... I just think that there has to be a better way than typing in the same information via a remote in my case( 6 players 3 inputs) 18 times over the last few days!

You can use MySB instead. And MySB needs to know what account to add them to or a) everybody could control them b) or you could not. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81846 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
So here are a few alternatives: 1. Move everything to the DLink (probably not an option for you) This is basically what I did and now I have the Airport for laptops etc and my Iphone and Netgear homeplug network use the Dlink. All good. As an aside I have had to enter the mysqueezecenter user information into each player ( I have 6 in total) each time I tried to change something. As its customisable and free why would the setup require a user and password on each player? If it was to access "added value??" paid for services that would make sense but to stream Internet radio it seems a bit of a waste of peoples time. Just a thought and my 3 pence worth. Thanks again.

Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
First of all: I would try to find out why you can't connect the iPhone to the Airport. That should solve the issue IMHO and Apple should help on that. What I still don't understand is how the DLink and the Airport work together/are connected. The _players_ don't have to be on the same network as iPeng (they have to be on the same network as the server, though), but iPeng needs to be on the same network as the server. What you are seeing now is that iPeng can see your players but your players (and iPeng) can't see your server. So here are a few alternatives: 1. Move everything to the DLink (probably not an option for you) 2. Try to disable routing on the AirPort, especially disable any DHCP server capability and only use the DHCP server in the DLink. That way you make sure all your devices are on the same subnet - if it works. You might also have to convince the AirPort to route UDP broadcasts to the main network. 3. If your server has more than one network port you could try to connect it to both the AirPort and the DLink. That way, both iPeng and your Squeezeboxen (if they are on the DLink's network) will see the server. Again: if you get it to work. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81846 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
Im adding a few replies to my own thread but hope it will help others... I now can connect using Safari to my squeezebox servers web interface and after power cycling? ( Switching them off then on again)the players they are all found in IPeng. As a friend said to me some time ago " Any idiot can make somthing complicated"he was right.

Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
I just connected the netgear homeplugs to the dlink modem router instead of the Airport. I was hoping that with my Iphone using the same network, as you suggested, it may rectify the issue. Now I have the same list of unconnected players on IPeng with the message your player was not found on the play controller area.

Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
Hi Pipin, My setup is a Dlink modem and an Apple airport extreme for the wifi ( I live in an old stone barn and needed the range of wireless 'N') I have a Ubuntu Linux running the Squeezebox server using Netgear homeplugs ( again due to stone walls and big area the Squeeze boxes are connected using UTP cat5) The IPhone accesses the internet using the DLink wifi as I could not get it to connect to the Airport wifi! Maybe the issue is with the 2 available wifi networks?

Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
Is your WiFi probably on a different logical network than the rest of your local network? Some routers have a kind of "Guest Network" that allows access to the internet but no access to the local network. This sounds a lot like you don't have access to your local server, which you obviously need. Can you tell me a bit more about your network setup? -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81846 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] IPeng server connection issue
Hi Pipin, Thanks for the reply. I can connect to my wifi modem router from my IPhone. The Iphone uses this network to control the remote mysqueezebox music server. Its just the local server it cannot connect to.
