Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Not sure where to start :(
Hi, Seems to me you have at least one issue possibly 2, maybe even more and plenty of doubt... But the main 2 are: You've changed your LMS hardware (PC) and have doubts about the server build and Your player is crashing regularly - is it the player? or the new server build? So here's how I would handle this... First verify your server build *without* using your existing player, there are two ways to do this, fairly cheap or free. 1. Download SqueezePlay (free software based Squeezebox player) for your PC, install it and connect it to your server and spend some time testing and listening to your music via SqueezePlay on your PC to prove all is OK with the server build and music. 2. If you have a smartphone or tablet, buy iPeng or SqueezePad (IOS) or SqueezePlayer (Android), all can be used as players, (as well as excellent controllers), you can connect to your server and test as per 1. If you still have problems with either of the above then we need to fix those issues before moving onto your SB2 issues, so report back on what happens when testing with 1. or 2. above. Note at this stage I'll agree with previous posters that somethings not quite right with your scanner log, I've never used Onedrive, but I have seen issues posted here on the forum where someone was using a cloud based service that wasn't keeping all the files locally, maybe this is what's changed on your new build.., Onedrive hasn't locally cached (all) your music files and streaming (some of) them from the cloud is causing the SB2 to fail. So now let's say - all is well with the server and you are feeling happier to move forward with your SB2, so fix or replace? Some good advice has already been given re PSU and WiFi card fixes... But replacements... Yes buying used on eBay is an option, I have quite a few "spare" units I've picked up from eBay to give my system a future, prices vary from time to time and depending on model but they generally still hold a decent price which shows the continuing strength of the Squeeze ecosystem. There are also new options available in the form of Raspberry Pi builds emulating squeezebox players, have a look at Max2Play shop online https://shop.max2play.com/en/ to get some ideas of what's possible, there's plenty of help here in the forum on building your own if you want to have a play yourself, PiCoreplayer as well as Max2Play being good player setups on raspberry Pi's. If you wanted to you could also take it a step further with Raspberry Pi's, both of the above player solutions also run as servers - so no need to have that large power sucking PC chugging away in the background when you are sitting back relaxing listening to music - but I very much suspect that will be for another day. or you can cut your losses and head over to your nearest Sonos stockist, no idea what if any advantages that has, I last compared the two systems back in 2009, I went with Squeezebox and haven't looked back since, still one of the best "gadgets" I've ever bought (5+ players spread around my house). A couple of years ago I bought two used SB Radios and a Raspberry Pi and set up a system for my sister, ripped her music collection, she loves it, replaced her failing DAB radio and iPod Touch on a Bose Sounddock. A month ago I picked up an SB Touch and hooked that up to her TV Soundbar in her lounge, all her music in 3 rooms now for under £300 Hope the above helps Kev KeBul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108522 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Not sure where to start :(
The SB3 can work without the WiFi card if you run it wired . People replace the power supplies . Buy used SB Touch for example . And very popular build their own based on a raspberry pi 3 + DAC or digital output card and load picoreplayer on it this a ready made OS and Squeezelite player ( and more ) you can burn on an SD card and stick into a raspberry pi 3 . Use Phillips different bridge plugins and run foreign players . Rummage your pile of spare players you bougth and old player you replaced :) Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Buying used stuff on > Ebay, or taking a jump to another platform ( aka Sonos)? If the problem is the Wifi card - you can open the Sb3 up with a Torx screwdriver and remove the card. IF the SB3 doesn't reboot - then a replacement wifi card is usually only about $5-10. If the problem is the PSU - a replacement PSU is quite cheap and worth trying before considering an alternative device. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108522 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Not sure where to start :(
If you still have old computer laying around with LMS on it, try connecting SB to that LMS. If that works fine then you know it's something on new computer. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108522 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

If the player does a complete restart, with "splash screen" and everything that would suggest some kind of hardware problem rater than server or network problem. The power supplies often fail with age and sometimes cause restarts.

Thanks for the response. Always appreciate the amount of community involvement. So I uninstalled older versions, and installed the new version, and now I am back to the problem I was having before. My squeezebox just shuts down while playing a song and cycles back on, reconnecting, etc.. The server log, attached, does not seem to capture anything at the specific time stamp. I was thinking that it was a network thing, but now I am thinking my device may just have gone bad. However, the issue started when I got a new computer, so that would be highly coincidental.

Well I wouldn't start from here (as the song goes) I'm thinking Windows Uninstall all that v7.5.5 stuff, including the bits that you have to do manually Download and install 'http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/b3228c3/LogitechMediaServer-7.9.1-1515216179.exe ' (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/b3228c3/LogitechMediaServer-7.9.1-1515216179.exe) Right click on the .exe and install as Administrator, you may need to add some Microsoft Run time stuff.

I have had my SqueezeBox device leveraging LMS for a while. I recently switched computers and I have not been able to get operational since that point. Now I have gotten myself into a state where it will not scan any files. Also cannot seem to clear the server log. I have attached my logs.
