Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
Why would the solder joints suddenly start failing? Is the unit prone to over-heating? (Now that you've opened it, does it smell?) I've never come across any electronic gear where the solder joints failed, with the exception of misuse.

Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
Fizbin and Mnyb, thinking it's a solder issue is just a guess, coming from the observation that putting mild torque or pressure on the connections and/or board can change the behavior between seeing the ethernet and not seeing it at all, and also between hiccups with the ir communications of the remote and no hiccups. The history is that a few months ago I started having reboot and playback stutter issues, which I read there was a history of with the wifi daughterboard. So I tried reseating and removing the board and then switched to ethernet and saw the other issues I've mentioned. So the hardware has had a lot of handling in the last two weeks. No burnt smell inside the unit. I'm not going to try to reflow the surface mount stuff, that's beyond me. I was just thinking about the connector board containing all the audio, power, and network inputs. But if anyone has other ideas to try, speak up. About the issue when it can see the ethernet but won't start playing, I checked and the server's ethernet is not using jumbo frames. MTU was actually 1500.

If the server could see the correct MAC address and the player could select tracks ok then I doubt it is the card. It would not work at any level if it was the card.

Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
The LMS is running on a Linux machine (ubuntu). Its configuration hasn't changed in a long time, and the SB is talking fine with it over wifi. On wifi tracks play without issue (except for the occasional reboots and skipping). I have not tried connecting to MySqueezebox.com. Will try tonight if I can get it talking on ethernet again. Note: another thing I've started seeing is that sometimes the SB acts like I'm holding down a button on the remote - as if I'm pressing it repeatedly. A quick press of the right arrow will result in endless advances to the right. There's nothing wrong with the remote. I can cover up the led and it keeps acting like the button is pressed.

Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
Yeah, it seems like there's some kind of baseline flakiness going on. This probably accounts for: - sometimes not recognizing that the ethernet cable is connected at all - sometimes processing a button press repeatedly Perhaps it's a heat thing related to a loose connection or hairline circuit board break. More experimentation may shed more light. My gut tells me there is a different issue going on related to not playing through ethernet. I say this because simply changing the configuration through the remote from wired to wireless gets it working, and changing back makes it not work. I would think the transport mechanism shouldn't make any difference in the functionality end of things, that it would either completely work or completely not communicate. But instead when it's wired, it _mostly_ works. There's some amount of data that is obviously being exchanged, since I can see the database. It's just the actual playback that freezes, only through ethernet. Can someone suggest particularly useful categories to turn on logging for within the server? There are many categories.

Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
Years ago I had a problem with somewhat similar symptoms not with a SB - full ethernet packets were being discarded by receiver but packets which were not full (e.g. short control packets) were received OK. Turned out to be a problem with network packet maximum size had different values and caused problems with packet fragmentation/recombination. While I don't think this is your problem, I think you need to look at network level TCP statistics on LMS PC network interface to see whether packets are being rejected/retransmitted etc. It may give a hint at what is happening. It might also help to fire up Wireshark or similar to see what is happening at TCP, IP and Ethernet levels. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102678 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
After playing around with it some more, I now think it's a case of a bad solder joint or other bad/flaky connection. Running it without the case, I was able to make the no ethernet connection condition come and go by putting slight pressure on the board or connections. And also getting into/out of repeating button press mode. If the problem is in the main connections between the external connector daughter board and the main board, I may be able to improve it, but if it's not that, there's probably no hope. I could get it to the point of selecting a track to play, but still no luck actually getting the counter to start playing. Perhaps if the solder joints are improved the wifi mode will start working reliably... Well I'll report back in a few days once I monkey with improving the connections.

[slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
I have a Squeezebox Classic, running firmware 137, server is 7.7.5. I've been running it over wifi for many years. Recently I experienced the problem of the player randomly resetting, sometimes skipping. I read up on the forums, did factory resets and xilinx programs, didn't help. So I switched from a wireless to an ethernet connection. The player has no problem seeing the server and the music, but when I hit Play, it switches to play mode but doesn't play. The track counter isn't moving and there's nothing on the level meter. If I switch back to wifi, no problem (except for the intermittent issues mentioned). I'm using the exact same static IP and other connection settings. It's connected through a router acting as a wireless access point to my main router. Switch back to ethernet, sees the music, won't play. Any suggestions? -Jerry JerryR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7350 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102678 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
Remove the static IP on Ethernet. Each network card has its own MAC address. You can't have the 2 MAC addresses - wired wireless - with the same IP. Your switch or router doesn't know where to find the route to the wired connection so is sending them to where it last found that IP address - the wireless card.

First a tried a different static IP, then I tried DHCP. I made sure the router and WAP only were seeing the hardwired connection, correct MAC address. The server sees the unit correctly. The unit can see the music database and navigate to a song on an album. It fails when it tries to play the song though. I can ping the unit ok.

Re: [slim] Player not working with ethernet, does with wifi
No, and now that I moved it, it complains ethernet appears disconnected. I tried two different cables and two different ports on the main router. Then I brought it back to the WAP, and I'm getting the same thing there. So it seems like the jostling made something stop working (not that I handled it roughly). I can try reseating the networking card inside the SB, but it seems like it's likely ok, since it works if I switch it to a wifi connection. Is the wired networking part of the card separately powered from the wifi? Any other suggestions? Anything?
