[slim] no sound from internet radio
With 7.4.1 (10/16 nightly) I can't get any internet radio station to work on my SB3. The stations are listed and connection appears to proceed but there is no sound even though the stream time ticker progresses normally (this is for all radio stations). -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] no sound from internet radio
And, also, the display on SB3 goes blank while attempting to play a radio station. I now noticed that this problem applies to any streaming audio app, for example rhapsody behaves the same way (tracks appear to play visually, but no sound, and blank SB3 screen). Any ideas? -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] no sound from internet radio
Are you trying to play stations through your local SBS7.4.1 or by connecting your SB3 to MySB.com? When connecting your SB3 to SBS what does it say under MySB in Diagnostics on the Control Panel (not the web UI). -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

And the results from your SBS Control Panel Diagnostics? I'm guessing your SBS and/or players are not seeing the internet (can't see beyond your local network).

My SB3 can connect to the internet (as I said I can connect to mySB.com and play radio OK), but it looks like my SBS can't see beyond the local network. The SBS Control Panel Diagnostics: Everything looks OK here; all listed ports are available (OK) and there are no alerts. Ping to mySB.com is listed as OK. If I refresh i get the same OK results back. My player is registered on mySB.com, and if I connect my SB3 to mySB.com, I can then use the remote control application on the mySB.com site. Yes, I have the correct password for mySB.com entered in my SBS settings. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The thing is when I connect to a radio station the correct program info for that time slot is displayed on my SBS (even though there is no sound and the SB3 screen is blank). So I suspect the SBS does make a connection to the stream, gets enough data to fetch the program info, and then chokes on the actual audio data. Or at least that's one possibility still not ruled out. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] no sound from internet radio
Sure sounds like all of the basics are covered. What happens if you connect your SB3 to your local SBS server, then select a station from the SB3 (not the SBS web UI)? When your SB3 is connected to SBS you do see it (and can select it) from the upper right Choose Player pull down? More than one player listed? You have no other players?

SoftSqueeze is not around anymore.

I'll try these two next... OK this is interesting. Uninstalling SoftSqueeze had no effect. However, internet radio plays fine with the SqueezePlay software player. So it appears the problem is not on the server side, but something is preventing SB3 from playing the stream fed to it from the server. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I did actually get a new account after I upgraded to 7.4.1. And yes, I am logged in and can access everything. My SB3 is also recognized by mySB.com once I connect to it from the remote. So I think the two key pieces of evidence here is that radio works on the SB3 from a mySB.com connection (so there is no impediment to streaming mp3s in the SB3 firmware), and that radio works from the server in the software player SqueezePlay (so there is no problem for the server to connect to the internet, fetch a stream, and pipe it to the player). It looks like the server is doing something to the radio stream before sending it to the SB3, which chokes it.

Except that in most cases, the server does no such thing: it gives the player the URL to the stream, and lets the player connect directly to the remote site. This is true unless you turn on the proxy setting in the server. This is set under Player Settings -> Audio, on a per-player basis. By default, it should be set to 'Direct Streaming' -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It made no difference whether direct or proxied. Thanks for correcting my misunderstanding of how the server connects to internet radio. So, OK, the player manages to connect to the radio URLs while connected to mySB.com, but fails to connect while connected to the server. Could the server be feeding the SB3 incorrect URLs for the radio sites? Why would that happen? Also puzzling is that the server correctly identifies the radio site, its mp3 bit rate, and current program info (these all show up correctly on the player pane in the server web ui). And it works fine when playing through the SqueezePlay player. (I did do a xilinx and factory reset, and re-updated the firmware, to make sure the SB3 is glitch-free). -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Just an update: After upgrading to 7.4.2 today (10/23 nightly), the problem remains as before. So I am now wondering if I have a hardware problem with my SB3. Is anyone with a similarly old (ca 2006) SB3 running 7.4 without problems with internet radio? I would appreciate any responses from people with old (Slim Devices) SB3s.

Re: [slim] no sound from internet radio
Slim Devices branded SB3 on SBS7.4.1 via WinXP, all works fine here. Doubt it's a hardware problem as you can stream fine from MySB, but ya never know. Is your SB3 getting the FW Updates (press & hold Brightness button) when you upgrade the SBS version? When you say SB3 has a blank screen, is it truly blank (no text)? Or does it display text but won't play the station? If no text, try the Power button. Also try holding the Left arrow to get to Setup. It can play local music fine on SBS? -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have my SBS running on XP as well. FW updates load fine. The display is truly blank (black) when playing a radio station (or rhapsody), no text. Pressing power button brings back the clock display. Pressing the left arrow button brings up the NowPlaying display for three seconds, after which display returns to blank.
