I haven't upgraded or patched the firmware recently, but I don't doubt
the battery is at its end of life. The strange thing is that it appears
to still charge sometimes and can play for a couple hours when it does.
It's like the Radio is getting false readings from the sensors.

Just ran an quick test. The Radio has been plugged in to the wall for
days, I don't think I've played it all recently. First, I checked the
power info:

Wall voltage: 17.7V
Charger state: Battery not charging
Battery temperature: 29.5C
Battery voltage: 13.4V
Battery vmon1: 3.9V
Battery vmon2: 7.7V

Then I unplugged it. It didn't instantly shut off, but after a few
seconds displayed the 'Battery low' screen and wouldn't do anything. So
I plugged it back into the wall and it showed the small charging
indicator. I checked the power info again:

Wall voltage: 17.2V
Charger state: Battery charging
Battery temperature: 29.8C
Battery voltage: 15.9V
Battery vmon1: 9.5V
Battery vmon2: 9V

I just turned on my Squeezebox tonight and had the same issue.  Did a
search on the forum for the problem and found your post JJZolx.  My
thought is that the battery has probably at the end of it's life.  It's
seldom used these days on battery power.  Decided I would start using it
again as a portable and it did just as you described JJZolx.  Another
oddity is that it happened after I had upgraded it to the latest
firmware version.

There is the zipped 31709. The original attachment was
a .txt file, and is no longer in my list of files. 

BTW, It might be a good idea to remove the older software versions from
my list. Should I remove them? If so, how?

Great, some real progress. I will download the sources and have a look.
It might be that we have to compare and substitute decompiled code for
the 6003 related code. Perhaps 6002 vs 6003 device specific code might
not be so critical if the issue is how the chip and driver is
monitoring, reporting, and reacting to packet loss issues. Also, the
problem might lie partially in the CPU code, which is another matter.
Some critical questions are: how is the system getting disrupted, how
does that cause a failure, why are the chip and driver not taking
effective countermeasures, and why is the driver not reporting failure
to the supplicant or other layer?

I spent quite a while searching for "the full log, not just where
bitbake failed." I have not found it. Where might it be? Here is the
latest console session plus the indicated failure log appended
31700. If this is insufficient, I need some help to
find the full log.

BTW, the TL-WN722N v1 usb adapter uses the Atheros AR9271 ath9k [phy1]
chip, which can operate in monitor mode, but not as a spectrum analyzer.
This would require the discontinued and rare $500 Wi-Spy DBx device. Its
looking like 80's HP spectrum analyzer and camera for me, although
perhaps I could down convert into an RTL-SDR... This might even work if
a disruptive non-WiFi signal is strong enough.

BTW also, I am new to WiFi hacking. Does anyone have any experience with
WiFi sniffing? What is the best way to use aircrack-ng and / or other
packages to identify packets that might be causing trouble? Also, any
pointers to WiFi tech tutorials? Both packets and software. Thank you.

To help you resolve the build issue, you'll need to post the full log,
not just where bitbake failed.

I've uploaded the 'wpa_supplicant v2.9 binaries for the radio to
sourceforge'
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezeos/).  To
install see the bottom of 'this post'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111663-Community-Build-Radio-Firmware&p=971241&viewfull=1#post971241).

The atheros-ar6ksdk.build_sw.63 source that I'm investigating is from
the 'google chromium project'
(https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/atheros/+/0b056069300072c35f9c6795a9a48e27bcafe82d/files).
I've had to pull the sources for a couple of the tools from the sdk 3.1
source as google has removed it from theirs.

The supported ar600x device list matches the driver from logitech,
however the .63 driver tries to load the firmware for the ar6003 when
inserted.  I'm guessing that google modified the driver to look for the
ar6003 as that appears to be the atheros hardware they use(d). That's as
far as I've had time to look at it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Loss of stations

2020-09-26 Thread Paul Webster


First step is to choose a system to run it on

Download LMS
https://mysqueezebox.com/download

Probably choose a Windows PC or MAC to and then show that it solves your
problem.

Then on your Squeezebox, use the remote control to tell it to access
your new LMS if it does not find it by itself.

Ideally you would have a system running 24*7 to host LMS - so that you
can be sure that whenever you want to hear something the server is
immediately available.
Some people do this by installing on a Raspberry Pi (search for more
info) or a local NAS (network attached storage) or a network router
running 3rd-party operating system(although I suspect that is happening
less nowadays).

[SlimDevices: Radio] Loss of stations

2020-09-26 Thread col996s


I have a squeezebox and a UE smart radio. Over the last few months I am
unable to pick up stations that I did before on both. 

Some of the messages I get on the UE are:

Error: no items found in playlist
Http://opml.radiotime.com..

Connection reset by remote host https://media-ssl.musicradio.com...

HTTP/1.1 404 Not found https://solid24.streamupsolutions.com/proxy...

This has made both radios almost unusable as all I can really get is BBC
stations.
