Re: [slim] Sync problem with SC 7.3.1 and 2 SB3s
Other than maybe some minimal polling so the server knows it's alive, I don't think the Roku box uses any bandwidth when it's not streaming a movie. Since I unplugged the Ethernet cable for the Roku unit yesterday and then plugged it back in, I haven't had any more problems with Sync. But I haven't used the Roku unit for streaming either. Will let you know if this problem continues to occur. Thanks for your help, Ben. -- corbey corbey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Sync problem with SC 7.1.3 and 2 SB3s
if they are wireless one of em may be having some connection problems...To fix it I would probably upgrade to 7.3.1 since it completely rewrote the sync code and vastly improved it. -- Jonnio Jonnio's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18575 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

By seriously out of sync, I mean at least a half-second, or more. Did you mistype 7.3.1 above or are you actually using 7.1.3 (is that even a real SC version)? I would reset your sync settings to the default value first, especially after playing with them for awhile. I think they are 0, 0, 30ms, 2ms respectively. Is there anything unique about the players, for example digital output or unique amp/dsp?

Re: [slim] Sync problem with SC 7.1.3 and 2 SB3s
Yes, that is a typo. I meant to write 7.3.1. I have returned all the sync settings to their defaults, but that didn't help. And yes, I'm using the digital outputs on both units, but I've had them configured that way for quite awhile w/o any problem. Also, my associated equipment hasn't changed. -- corbey corbey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Sync problem with SC 7.1.3 and 2 SB3s
Well, the only configuration difference between the two players is that I have a Roku Netflix player connected to the Ethernet port of the more-distant SB3. When I disconnected that cable, the two SB3s seemed to get back into sync. I'll need to play with this some more, I guess. -- corbey corbey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If it's repeatable, I would file a bug on bugs.slimdevices.com. It could be a combination that hasn't been tested with Sync enabled.

does the Roku use bandwidth even when it's not streaming a movie?

If I had to guess, I would expect that it's not a bandwidth issue but instead something related to audio latency being different if the SB CPU is busy handling wireless bridging tasks in addition to those it normally performs.

Re: [slim] SYNC Problem
I have tried running sync on 6.5.4 loaded to my PC (rather than QNAP) but the results are the same. Havnt tried SC7 yet but will it make any difference? I am beginning to wish I hadnt bothered buying the active speakers (or more accurately done some more research upfront - I thought sync was a standard feature). Has anyone got sync running without problems on a set-up other than multiple SB3s? -- thefunk thefunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41135 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SYNC Problem
Well the SB2 and SB3 internals are basically the same, so the real question is how well have people done with sync on the SB1. I did use to have one and it generally worked but did have problems. Remember that the SB1 is MUCH more sensitive to wireless problems than the SB2/3 and when synced that just becomes even worse. If you can improve the signal strength or put a cable in you'll see better performance. SC7 should also help, if you want to try it out just install it on a PC as a trial. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41135 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SYNC Problem
thanks radish, I may as well give SC7 a try. Incidentally I've found SB3 to be no better than SB1 regards wireless stability (ie my SB1 is fairly solid).

Anyone out there got a SB1 sync'd with a SB2/3? If you are only streaming mp3s you would not see much difference in wireless performance between an SB1 and an SB2/3 because you just do not need much performance with mp3. Now start streaming FLAC and other lossless or uncompressed codecs and the SB1 will start to show its limits in regards to wireless performance. -- m1abrams m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41135 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SYNC Problem
well i'm very confused now since SB3 seems to be the weak link!! Loaded SC7 and sync'd both SBs. Both started playing (SB1 wireless strength 30% SB3 68%) for approx 30-50secs then SB3 stops playing and starts re-buffering. Manage to restart but then them almost immediately SB3 re-buffers again. Then SB3 starts to lose connection to SC7 and has to go thru n/w setup. Meanwhile SB1 stays rock solid on 30% and only stops when SB3 stops (as I assume its supposed to do if in sync?). Any hidden tweaks I can use or this the end of the line?By the way SB1 is still on f/w 40, again I assume this is correct? -- thefunk thefunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41135 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi eric, MP3 mainly encoded at 320. The Qnap is wirelessly connected to both SBs.

Hi Andyg, Sorry for my ignorance but I'm assuming SC7 is just the latest version of SS with a name change? I've only recently discovered a script to get my QNAP onto 6.5.1 and I'm guessing going to SC7 on QNAP wont be easy?
