Re: [slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
Sounds like duplicate IP address trouble. Or two slimservers that think
they should be responding to that SQB. The reset is happening very
quickly. Have you shutdown all devices in the network (unplug
switches/wireless AP/etc). And then restarted?
Do you have another computer that you can install slim 6.5.2 and just
test the faulty SQB?
Also, the SQB recieves a firmware update as part of newer versions of
slimserver. An update of the server may change how the SQB responds.
I have not used the RS232 interface. The CLI interface is a plugin for
controlling slimserver through a command line (telnet) interface.
Telnet {slimserverip} 9090. Launch the web interface for a running
slimserver, and you can find detailed information on the CLI interface
from Help/Technical Information.
Have you ever tried to play ogg files or connect to an ogg based radio
stream?

Re: [slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
Thanks Richard for all your tips. They give me some ideas for further investigation :) I have two other computers on which I can install the slimserver. (BTW, I've double checked and I had indeed installed the 6.5.1 archive which seems to impose a firmware upgrade version 70). I've triple check the network for duplicated addresses and I'm convinced that I don't have any. I've also verified the router setting and I've restarted the slimserver (dedicated PC) as well as the two SB3, the switch and the router. I've turned down all other computer systems on the network (BTW they all get DHCP addresses except for the Slimserver PC which has a unique static IP address). In any case, the problem still persists. One SB works flawlessly and the other one keeps rebooting 2 seconds into playing a song. I haven't tried ogg files yet. But I'll try this next along with a different PC to host the server. For now just to verify that I didn't have a bad hardware device, I've reinstalled the Slimserver v6.2.1. Both SB3 now work perfectly well as they used to. Both SB3 have automatically downgraded the firmware to version 28. I haven't changed the rest of the hardware or network configurations. So this is definitively related to installing v6.5.1 in conjonction to the firmware 70. For now I'm okay and I'll do more experiments (with a different PC) with 6.5.1 or even 6.5.2 as I've liked the new features of the v6.5.1. I'll also play around a bit more with the CLI. Thanks a lot for your help Richard. I'll let you know if I make any progress with 6.5.1 on a different PC.

Re: [slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
Have you tried to factory reset the faulty SQB? Factory reset is when you unplug the power, press and hold the ADD (+) button on the remote while plugging the power back in, and release the ADD (+) button when you see the SQB flash factory reset. Note that the first time the SQB tries to connect to the server after a factory reset, it may reset itself once again - that should be ok. If the web interface says 6.5.1, that's what you have - unless there was a mistake in the nightly build.. Also, you said that you tried to connect the faulting SQB to radio and regular slimserver streams. Can you recall if you also tried to connect the non faulting SQBen to radio streams after you upgraded to version 6.5.1?

Re: [slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
I've just tried to reset the faulty SB3 with the procedure you've described below. I saw the factory reset message then I had to reprogram my network setting. Unfortunately this didn't help. Once connect to the slimserver or the internet radio channel, it resets almost instantly (2secs) The other working SB3 is currently playing the same radio stream without a problem. In fact I had it running for 3 hours earlier this week on this same internet radio stream without a failure. I've noticed that I have a RS232 pluging and CLI pluging installed. Does anyone know how to use them? I'm hoping to get the debug info from the Squeezebox directly if I can connect a serial terminal to it... I can also try to install 6.5.2 but I'm starting to doubt that this is a software issue.

[slim] SB3 freeze and reset after 6.5.2 upgrade
I have two Squeezebox v3 (~18 months old). Until last Sunday I was using the Slimserver v6.2.1 and everything was fine. I've then decided to install the Softsqueeze 3.3 which made me upgrade to the slimserver to v6.5.2.(or at least I thought I did but I ended up apparently with 6.5.1) Since then one of the Squeezebox keeps hanging then resetting as soon as a play a file (FLAC) (i.e. anywhere between 2secs and 2 minutes into playing the song) from the slimserver or from Internet radios. Navigating through the menus doesn't cause the reset. Sometimes when the box hangs the display flashes or displays garbage or display lines (noise) in every direction then turns blank the the box resets. The sound turns sometimes into noise too. I've changed the power supply (using the other one) but it still hangs then resets. I have the impression that the box resets because I see the Squeezebox logo when it comes back up. Also sometimes it comes back up instantly, sometimes it can take 1 or 2 minutes or so. The remote at that time isn't responsive so I can't turn it back on with it. But if I unplug the power cable (after it has hang) and plug it back on it boots instantly. The other Squeezebox runs as good as before. I didn't changed any of the hardware configuration when these problems started to appear but just as a test I've swapped both squeezebox. The faulty one keeps faulting even at the new location. Here is some information on my setup: Faulty Squeezebox v3: - Connected through wireless to a linksys router (this always worked before the slimserver upgrade). No hardware changes were made. Signal Strength:~70% - Gets IP address through DHCP - Slimserver appears to be v6.5.1 (although I've installed a 6.5.2 archive)running on Windows XP SP2 - Firmware version: 72 - Mac address: 00 04 20 06 3D CF - Connected through the analog outputs to a Harman/Kardon AVR340 and also tried to a Harman/Kardon AVR7300. The working Squeezebox v3: - Connected through wireless to a linksys wireless router (this always worked before the slimserver upgrade). No hardware changes were made. Signal Strength:~80% - Gets IP address through DHCP - Slimserver v 6.5.1 running on Windows XP SP2 - Firmware version: 72 - Mac Address: 00 04 20 06 3C 3E - Connected through the analog outputs to a Harman/Kardon AVR7300. Slimserver: - I'm pretty sure that I have installed the 6.5.2 archive (I still have the archive so I can send the checksum if necessary) but I read: SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Server IP address: 155.165.175.110 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt - Running on a Celeron 1.6GHz (dedicated to just that. CPU load 2-3%) - 512MB of RAM - 98% of Data is encoded with FLAC. The rest are MP3s. Basically how can I debug this? Is there a way to log what's happening in the squeezebox before the resetoccurs? The fact that one works and the other doesn't, puzzles me. So far I've ran slimserver with debug (C:\Program Files\SlimServer\serverslim.exe --d_startup) and I've checked in all the debug messages in the server settings debugging. This is the ouput that I get: C:\Program Files\SlimServer\serverslim.exe --d_startup Got @INC containing: C:/Program Files/SlimServer/server C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server Extended @INC to contain: C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\CPAN\arch\5.8\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\CPAN\arch\5.8\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\auto C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\CPAN\arch\5.8.8\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\CPAN\arch\5.8.8\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\auto snip...(no errors) Loaded module: [Time::HiRes] ok!
