I first want to say thank you to the creators and maintainers of the
various software squeezebox players on this forum. I have four real
squeezeboxes (2 SBRs, a boom and a Classic) and four software players
(iphone 3gs running ipeng playback, Amazon Fire TV running SB Player and
two hacked pogoplugs running Squeezelite) and they are all basically
equal in my book. I do have one issue bugging me a bit and wonder what
I can do to mitigate it. I have LMS running on a windows 7 nettop that
occasionally has interruptions with the network. I don't know exactly
what is happening but occasionally, once every two to three months, it
will drop off the network and all the squeezeboxes will drop off as well
and it will then reconnect and all of the real squeezeboxes will
reconnect as well. The software squeezeboxes do not reconnect and I
have to reboot them to get them started again. Its not that big of a
deal but it is kind of annoying when it happens. Are the software
players not able to re-establish a connection automatically or is there
some setting I should consider? Would moving my LMS to another platform
be helpful? I have toyed with installing some flavor of linux on the
nettop but I really don't know what I am doing in Linux. The only thing
I use the nettop for is running LMS so I could try to do it but I don't
know what I am doing and would be dependent on my brother for tech
support. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
For SB Player, try setting the number of connection retries to infinite:
Settings General Max Retry. By default SB Player only retries 5
times. After about 5 retries, the retry delay would have increased to
60 seconds, so if the connection is knocked out for more than a minute,
the reconnection will not be immediate.
