Re: [slim] Sync several SBs

Thanks Aubuti
Sorry if slightly cross-posting but I saw on the web UI that there is a
later version of Squeezecenter (7.5.4) than the one I have (7.5.1). Is
that stable and worth upgrading to and is there anything to look out
for?
Thanks to everybody again

Re: [slim] Sync several SBs

2011-04-20 Thread aubuti

7.5.4 was released last week. I have been using it since January, when
it was still beta. I haven't had any problems with it, and haven't seen
massive reports of problems, but as always at least some users are
having problems that they attribute to the upgrade. I'd advise
upgrading because 7.5.4 contains numerous small bugfixes over 7.5.1 --
and if it doesn't work out for you it's always possible to go back.

That should not be, you can sync a lot more than two.
Which user interface do you use? Have you tried the web interface?

No I haven't - I'm new to this game I'm afraid. Is that
Mysqueezebox.com?
I really wanted to do it on the fly from one of the machines rather
than having to log in to something else but if that's the only way

I do have iPeng on an iPhone - it may be possible to do it on that,
just haven't fathomed it all out yet.
Thanks

Actually iPeng is the easiest way to set up a sync group -- thanks
pippin! But I'll leave it to pippin to describe how, especially because
I don't have mine in front of me now, so I could easily miss a step.

Indeed, in iPeng it should be rather simple. For details, see
Help-Quick Tutorials-Players and Music Sources.

1. Go to the MultiPlayer page (swipe right on NowPlaying), it's that
one:
http://penguinlovesmusic.de/wp-content/gallery/ipeng-1-2/img_0321.png
2. press the edit button at the top right, you can now select and
unselect players, at the bottom left there is a checkmark button to
select all at once.
3. after you've checked the players you want to sync, press the sync
button (chain icon) at the bottom center.
4. iPeng will now ask you which player's playlist you want to use on
the synced players.
5. et voila.

Re: [slim] Sync several SBs

2011-04-19 Thread pski

Use the webUI. On the computer that is running Squeezebox Server, open a
web browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) and go to:

http://localhost:9000

On other computers go to:

http://ip of your SBS machine:9000

The players are in a pull down in the upper right. Pick a player you
want to sync, then select Synchronize in the drop down and pick another
player you want to pair it with and select synchronize.

To add another player to that pair, FIRST SELECT the additional player
and then select synchronize to add it to the others.

The mental leap is that you FIRST SELECT the player you want to add to
or drop from a sync group. If three players are synced and you want to
drop one from the group, FIRST SELECT the player you want to drop and
then select the synchronize option.

Many thanks to all. 
The iPeng method does seem much simpler. I can also see why there needs
to be a master machine for the playlist to be sync'd.
I haven't really got into the web UI as I run SBS on a Ready NAS and
it's all a bit of black box (literally!) at the moment.

You can still use the web UI. Assuming you have a computer, just point
its web browser to http://NAS_IP:9000/ to get the web UI, substituting
the real IP address of your ReadyNAS in place of NAS_IP in the address.
