Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
..sorry for the delayed reply. Coincindentally, have bought a laptop for one of the kids for his birthday, now I can have his desktop which I can connect using a wired connection, and test that out. It will take a few weeks, his birthday is in late June. A second dedicated WAP is also an interesting option. Don't see why I can't try this either if the wired server connectivity does not work.

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
...I'm in a mixed b\g environment as I have some clients (Sony PSPs) which can handle B only - in fact I use them with the Handheld slimserver interface as remote controls. Any way to tell the SB3 to use g only? Simultaneous wireless clients - probably 4 at the time of test; max wireless clients (if the kids power up all their PCs and PSPs) is 12. Then we have a whole heap of wired clients (VoIP etc.). Like I said, in the semi-controlled environment of testing, there were only 4 wireless clients, no wired ones. Interesting, most of the cordless phones are 5.8Ghz, but there is one cordless phone close to the SB3 with the issue that is still 2.4GHz. Hm...\ Wireless Channel is 6. I use WEP 128bit and also have a MAC address filter set up. OS is WinXP Pro SP2 Slimserver is Version: 6.5.2 - 12043 (Have not upgraded to the officially release 6.5.2 yet, this was one of the nighly compiles I downloaded to see if it would fix my problem) Hardware specs - well it's an old Dell Inspiron laptop I am afraid, 2GHz 1GB connected via a wireless ethernet bridge (one of the Linksys models) If it was the slimserver doing powersaving, wouldn't the original SB3 also cut out? The original keeps on playing, only the sync-ing SB3 cuts out. And similarly, if it was the neighbors wireless channel cutting in?

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
I think at some level, it's wireless for both ziggyb63 and nptohc. Just something that's irregular enough to not show up on a test reliably. Okay, first ziggyb63: I'm going to estimate mixed b/g real-world network speed as 9Mbps. The fact that your server is connected wirelessly is a very big deal--this will increase the number of collisions and slow everything down more than just another wireless client. G-only operation is a function of the access point. You have to cut off your PSP's, or set up a separate 802.11b WLAN, to go G-only for your SB3. 9Mbps divided by 4-12 = 750kbps - 2.2Mbps per client, if everything shared the spectrum equally and there were no collisions, which is not the way things really work. I'm not positive on SlimServer's settings, but FLAC's bitrate is in the neighborhood of 800kbps per stream. So even though the numbers are inexact, I can tell you are working with very narrow margins on your wireless network. And we don't yet know if you have interference from the neighbors. Recommendations? Step 1: connect your server to your home network with a wired connection. Step 2: consider a second wireless access point. This second access point can be specially designated for SB3s, operate at G-only speeds, and work on a non-overlapping channel (1 or 12). To test this before laying down the cash, you should REALLY connect your server via a wired connection anyway, then turn off every wireless client in the house except the SB3's, then test sync. I would also recommend installing NetStumbler to find out what channels your neighbors may be using too. The only non-overlapping channels are 1, 6 and 12. 8 overlaps 6 and 12, etc. 6 is the default for most access points, so 1 and 12 tend to be safer. For the record, WEP and MAC filtering is trivial security (but I understand you're limited by the PSP's). If you set up this second G-only network, you should use WPA2/AES. If spending more cash is absolutely out of the question, and the server CAN'T be connected via a real ethernet cable for some reason, the next best thing is to transcode to MP3, preferably at bitrates under 200kbps. Now for nptohc: Wireless access points on the same network can interfere with each other just as badly as neighboring access points. The fact that your public network and your private network operate on non-overlapping channels doesn't help when multiple access points on the same network share the same channel and have overlapping ranges. In particular, I'm wondering if the two wireless routers on either side of the stone wall are clobbering each other. It's also worth checking if those cordless phones operate in the 2.4GHz spectrum. My testing recommendation here is: Unless you verify the phones are not 2.4 GHz, unplug them and remove the batteries. Turn off every WAP on channel 13 except one. Move the squeezeboxes within range of this one WAP, and test sync. If the problem goes away, the solution is to unclutter your wireless spectrum. I'm not even sure transcoding to a low bitrate would help here, depending on how badly your two access points are clobbering each other. Hope that helps. I could obviously be wrong, but given the information I have, I think it's a reasonable assessment. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35479 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
CatBus, thanks for giving me the impetus to try to debug this issue Encoding is Apple Lossles, sample size 16 bit, sample rate 44.1kHz via iTunes (iPod is still used in the household), bit rate varies per track from ~200-1000kbps+ CBR, as reported by slimserver. Various version of iTunes used to encode, over the years. Have had to tweak the COMPOSER tag to get slimserver to display properly (as per other threads in this forum) and have had to not let iTunes get it's own coverart (as those don't get diplayed propely in slimserver I have found). AFAIK SqueezeBox can't handle ALAC so set slimserver options to transcode to FLAC.

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
I have often had this problem - basically ever since 6.5.x The previous version seemed to be a lot better - but the issues I have had so far this year: 1) 1 Squeezebox out of the crowd that are synced up will randomly stop outputting audio (but the device and display indicate it is playing). This will ONLY happen at the start of a new song - I had wondered for a long time if it was a crossfading issue. 2) The squeezeboxes will occasionaly go out of sync (audio wise) and then when a squeezebox finishes playing the song it is on and moves onto the next one - the other squeezebox (which always seems to be the one designated as master) will change to the new song and restart both squeezeboxes off playing the same song again - it's as if the software is attempting to resync the players - however this is NOT reflected in the Web interface which is generally at this point one song behind what is ACTUALLY being played. 3) The latest issues I have been having - when playing just the one squeezebox - it will happily play non-stop for days and then all of a sudden for no apparent reason it suddenly dies and comes up with Slim Devices on the screen before going through the whole conneting to network process etc again. At this point the web interface will report that I have no players - and the player will say connecting to slimserver but never does. I have to press the power button several times on the remote and go through the waking up slimserver messages before it finally reconnects - and of course I then have to start my dynamic playlist all over again. The slimserver has been moved to a new computer (the old one every morning has a message on the screen saying slim.exe this program has encountered an error and needs to close etc.. neither of the two computers have ever had any sort of standby feature enabled - as they are often doing other things. Slimserver is now on a dedicated computer - but the computer is on 24/7 - so my dynamic playlists have a chance to play right through (so customers returning don't hear the same music that was on the day before) Thats all for now Andy -- nptohc nptohc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11719 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35479 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
Transcoding to FLAC is a good thing. This means that the SB3 is always playing files that used the same encoder, and any decoding bugs are less likely due to so many users sharing the same encoder. I was thinking your bug could be caused by the SB3 not knowing how to decode for an oddball MP3 encoder--that sort of thing. Clearly that's not it. I also use transcoded-to-FLAC (with 6.5.1), so that's kinda convenient. So it's definitely not the encoding, and it's likely not wireless (it would help to do a wired test just to put that possibility more solidly to rest though). So you're basically syncing with the exact same setup as me, but something's happening for you that isn't for me. So let's get more details on the wireless, to get a handle on transient, non-repeatable problems: - 802.11B or G? - How many simultaneous clients total? - Cordless phones using the 2.4 GHz range? - What channel is your wireless network using? What channels are your neighbors using? Then there's the SlimServer itself: - What's the O/S and SlimServer version? - Hardware specs? Is it attached via ethernet or wireless? - Have you checked your slimserver.log for strange events around the time your sync cuts out? I'm thinking if it truly isn't the wireless in general, then it's something inconsistent and harder to test, such as your neighbor's access point operating on an overlapping channel, or even your SlimServer doing some sort of powersaving thing when it shouldn't. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35479 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you can't reproduce it when the SB3 is wired, that suggests you are having some kind of wireless-related issue. Agree wholeheartedly. When you're syncing multiple players wirelessly, there are any one of a zillion things that could go wrong, most of which are easily fixed once you identify them. So remove one of the bigger variables (the wireless link). If the problem continues, great--now you know it's not the wireless. If the problem disappears, that's also good news--you know it's the wireless. You could also remove another big variable (synchronization), by having both players play different things independently. If you still get periodic dropouts, then it's not the synchronization code doing it (it's likely the wireless). If it's not wireless or sync, there are some other less-likely candidates like weird encoding/decoding issues, etc. For what it's worth, except for gapless playback, synchronized playback works great for me. So it CAN work, we just need to figure out how your setup is different than mine. It's also worth noting for troubleshooting purposes whether you're using 802.11B or G, how many total wireless devices you have on that access point, what frequency any nearby cordless phones operate at, etc, etc. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35479 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
Hmm, this only happens to me when I sync the 2nd SB3 with another one - if this was a network issue, I would have expected to have these issues when playing un-synced, that is, playing normally. But I don't, I can play quite sucessfully for hours on end un-synced on this SB3 (well, both actually) with no stutters or stops. I guess I will play with the network test plugin some more to see if it shows me anything, as well as checking out buffer fullness to see if I can figure out what's happening. I never checked the time duration to see if it is still moving on the SB3 - I did have the VU meter screensaver on, and the needles drop to zero when my 'stop' happens, so I assumed the SB3 actually stoped playing - maybe it still thinks it's playing but as far as the time duration indicator. I will check. I do know it still thinks it's sync-ed, and unsyncing and resyncing fix things again for another 10-15 mins.

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
For what it's worth, using the network test plugin on the SB3 that 'stops', I can get up to 3000Kbps at an average 'quality' of 100% - it starts dropping off at higher speeds, but it's still an average of 90% at 4000Kbps. Would have thought that was adequate. I'm just going to wait, see what the future brings; this is a 'nice to have' for me, but not essential.

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
Sure, and it is completely pointless... Sort of. A couple basic assumptions: 1) I will have -something- making some noise at home -- radio, tv, etc. Radio or SB are cheaper than TV. My only radio is my receiver... which doesn't have an antenna... so SB at home will play. 2) I -love- last.fm and insist on scrobbling what I play. 3) I want music at work. Because this place is nuts enough as it is with quiet. I even put on headphones some days... 4) Last.fm whines if I submit from two players at once: since I can't really be listening to both, some of my tracks will be dropped. 5) I am lazy and hate futzing around turning scrobbling on an off. Easier to leave it on. So... By syncing work/home, I solve the problem: I can have last.fm be accurate, have music at home and work, and not have to remember to turn scrobbling off and on. The only real leap is in why have something playing at home when you arent there.. .but lots of people leave a radio or TV on all day just in case a burglar hears it and thinks someone is home. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35479 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Also sometimes it will play about 10 secs of a song then move on to the next one. It will do this until I press stop.
