[slim] Re: Synchronized Players Out of Sync
The SlimServer 6.2.2 and SoftSqueeze 2.3 updates resolved my sync issues.

Good posts all around. I guess I'll just buy another SqueezeBox in order to test the theory :-) Tom -- tharrison tharrison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22931 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You are probably referring to Richard Titmuss, who I understand is the author of SoftSqueeze and SqueezeSlave. He was recently hired by Slim Devices, but not strictly to work on those things (in fact, based on his post excerpted below, his coming aboard has taken him away from those things for the moment). rtitmuss Wrote: > > ...my plan is to migrate Softsqueeze to use slimprotolib.

One of the authors of softsqueeze contributes here regularly, or you could check old threads by looking for softsqueeze. I seem to recall there were some Java things to check, but since I use neither Java nor softsqueeze, they don't stick in my mind. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22931 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Have you tried Squeezeslave https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169 . It works much better for me. However with 3 SB's and 2 squeezeslaves there is still sometimes a very slight annoying lag. -- mattybain http://www.last.fm/user/MattyBain/ mattybain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22931 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you are having problems with synchronising two Squeezeboxes, that should have a different cause.

Not the end of the world, but does kind of mitigate the value of the whole-house solution I was hoping to achieve. It would be nice if there were a specifiable lag one could define for a specific client when multiples were synched.

I'll chck out later versions of SoftSqueeze, although mine's about a week old now, so hardly venerable :-) Thanks -- Tom -- tharrison tharrison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22931 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

My Squeezebox plays about a half second ahead of my Softsqueeze. -- ctaggart ctaggart's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22931 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
