Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Any Hardware/Memory Diagnostics available?

2011-02-21 Thread steve781

It just happened again. This time I just powered up a SB Radio and then
tried to play a stream directly on the Touch. Here's a snippet of the
log at the time of the hang. Any idea how I can get this in front of
the right person who can decode the entries? Is there enough here to
file a bug?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Stream won't play: rtsp://129.65.35.106:8000/stream.sdp

2011-02-21 Thread thomasharris

Hi all,

Trying to play this radio station stream from a local radio station-
but they warn on their site that not all players can play the stream as
it's AAC/MP4, presumably better fidelity. The three options they give is
a QuickTime QTL stream, a RealPlayer RAM stream and the above. No luck
so far in getting any of them to work.

Is there a workaround that would allow me to get this station or is an
AAC/MP4 stream something that Logitech is going to have to implement at
the website?

Thanks for any help!
Tom

Thanks John!

Tried that and get the same error, in boots ao I can login . but does
not start up everything and the displays show the "Free your music"
screen.

Think I should be able to use aplay to test the interface itselt  but I
get the following:

Hi Gary,
The above is exactly how I have been trying (and failing) to get the
ethernet connection. 
FWIW when I have done the Factory Resets (many, many times) I have
never disconnected before, and reconnected after, the Factory Reset  - 
don't know whether that would make any difference.

Try using card 1, frequently there are problems using the names. 

T file you have is using the plug interface, this should work no matter
what, but at least with several async interfaces it causes ticks and
pops. At least with the HRT music streamers I had to switch over to the
HW interface which gets rid of the ticks and pops, BUT you have to feed
it in exactly the format it accepts, otherwise it doesn't boot.

A primary issue is the bits per sample, in the poast several back I
show how to change that to 32. Try 16, 24 and 32. Unfortunately there
are several different 24 bit formats, I haven't figured out yet how to
get squeezeplay to change between formats. I THINK that might be some
of the problems.

OK. All good. I'm not at home, so just from memory, simply plugging the
ethernet cable into your TOUCH is not enough to switch it over to
ethernet.  Try doing a factory reset on the TOUCH (a little button on
the back just above where the powercord goes in). After the factory
reset, plugin the eithernet cable to the TOUCH. Do NOT enter your wifi
password on the TOUCH (we don't want it connecting to WIFI, only the
ethernet).

Hi Gary,
ATM I have a Netgear 834G Modem Router as the first 'stop' on my
incoming ADSL path. As you may know this has both wired and wireless
capability. I have 3 x Cat 5e cable connections going to various rooms
in the house and one Cat 5e cable going into the workstation
immediately at the side of this 834G. One room cable is unused
(currently no components in that room), one
goes into the room where the laptop is situated, into a 'plumbed-in'
wall plate and I have the laptop permanently wire connected to this
outlet. FWIW the laptop is wireless enabled and the signal in that room
is reported a excellent so it is also connected wirelessly.
The last cable is routed into our lounge, which also serves as my main
listening room and our main TV viewing room. In this room we have the
following items all with RJ45 ethernet sockets and, because they are
available, I 'have' to have them connected: -
Logitech Touch,
Sky box (satellite TV facility),
Sony Blu-Ray player,
Vaio MM PC
So I have a 'cheapo' Tenda switch on the end of the cable incoming from
the 834G and the 4 above items are coupled to that using short lengths
of Cat 5e cable. In direct answer to your question the Touch is
ethernet coupled to the Tenda switch which in turn is ethernet coupled
to the 834G router.
Cheers,
Dave.

based on what you said, you have a single ROUTER attached to your modem,
and the router is handing out IP addresses via DHCP. This is ok. (I do
prefer to setup all my nonportable items with a fixed IP address, but
we can save that for later if needed).

So it sounds like you now need to get your TOUCH back connected via

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Any Hardware/Memory Diagnostics available?

2011-02-21 Thread steve781

I'm still being plagued by this issue. It happened again last night when
I attempted to change from one favorite to another. The slimserver
process was running at 80% again, so it is definitely some kind of
hang. I need to determine if it is a hardware problem or a bug in the
latest Touch server. I'm thinking hardware since no one else seems to
be reporting this issue.

It may be related or not, but I also had an issue where the clock was
off by 5 minutes over 10 days. I went away on a business trip and when
I returned I was surprised that the internal clock could be that
inaccurate. 30 seconds a day seems like an awful lot. Perhaps this
causes a problem with the OS? I'm just guessing at this point until I
can find better tools to troubleshoot the issue.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Numptie Appeal for Help Please

2011-02-21 Thread asdti

Just wanted to second Toby10's comment, so forgive me if you already
know this.

Most routers 'out of the box' dynamically allocate IPs to devices as
they attach. But that isn't the way it has to be. In your router's
setup pages you'll have a way to allocate each device an IP. That is
REALLY important on a squeezebox-equipped network and doing it will
solve SOOO many potential issues down the road.

The main problem happens when you reboot a conected device or the
router, or the router's 'lease' to the device runs out (they usually
only have a set time) and the router re-allocates a new IP to the
device. Suddenly the squeezebox can't find the squeeze server, or the
internet, or etc etc.

Have a read of your router's config pages and learn how to allocate all
your connected devices their own, fixed IP. Don't get confused with a
fixed IP at your ISP - this is a fixed IP on your own network.

Hope that makes sense!


Mark

Hi Gary, Thanks for your usual help. My internet service is ADSL, said
to offer up to 20 Mbps ( by the telephone/internet service provider but
not by me!).
This is where it may start to get a little more complicated :-).
Perhaps I did not explain myself very well previously  -  I USED to get
the IP Address conflict message but I haven't had it for a while. I did
for a brief period try to replace my 'G' type modem router with a cheap
'N' type router, using the 'G' type in place functioning only as a
switch. My simple logic was that it might give me a bit more speed and
a few more wired ports but I could never get it to function
consistantly so I went back to square one  -  the IP Address problem
may well have been related to this brief trial.

Phil, unless I misunderstand you I find your question about what do my
iPhones connect to rather strange but that is more of a criticism of me
than it is of you :-). I have a simple home wired and wireless network
and the iPhones connect to that,, what else is there?
Regarding the Command Prompt, again this may be where it starts getting
complicated. My Vaio MM PC is running Win7 Home Prem. but the other 3
(workstation, laptop and netbook are all running Win XP (fully updated
with Service Packs etc.). The workstation is a wired connection only,
the laptop is both wired and wireless and the netbook is wireless
only.
Running Command Prompt and ipconfig gives the following results on the
items running XP: -
All Default Gateways are 192.168.0.1
All Subnet Masks are 255.255.255.0
IP Address on workstation is 192.168.0.9
IP Address on laptop is 192.168.0.3 (ethernet) and 192.168.0.11
(wireless)
IP Address on netbook is 192.168.0.6
Because the Vaio is running Win7 the answers are somewhat different: -
Autoconfig IPv4 Address is 169.254.177.139
Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway is   .   (nothing other than a series of dots)
Command Prompt also lists 4 Tunnel Adapters, (3 ISATAP and 1 Teredo
Tunneling), none of which means anything to me but may, hopefully, mean
something to you :-)
Hopefully you can stick with me for a bit longer.
TIA,
Dave.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Numptie Appeal for Help Please

2011-02-21 Thread Phil Leigh

What do your iPhones connect wirelessly to?

If you don't resolve your IP conflicts, you are in for a world of
pain.
On each PC you have, open a command prompt (run - cmd) and type
ipconfig... this will tell you how each machine is configured. Each
machine needs its own unique IP address, the same subnet and the same
default gateway.

IP conflicts can be very intermittent but also very troublesome to your
networked devices.  This must be fixed to have a reliable network.

yes streaming audio demands continius wifi signal, so it's finicky .
for web browsing you would never notice if connection comes in spurts
like an empty ketchup bottle .

If you have ethernet cable in the same room why not wire the Touch just
split the cable with a switch and wire the Touch too ?

As suggested, I use disknumber as 1, 2, etc. (not 1/2, 2/2). I have an
option in dbpoweramp to do it either way on ripping. And compilation
tag would only be present (and =1) on a true compiliation. So if I have
a 3 disk grateful dead album, it is NOT a compilation.

Do you have a SINGLE router?  How does the internet get to your house?
Cable? DSL. And do you have, for example, cable modem feeding a SINGLE
router.  If you are getting IP conflicts, it may be because you have
more than one router on your network handing out IP addresses.

Hi Gary,
Yep, it's fair to say that I've got eclectic tastes in music but you
won't find much post 70s pop in there!! And Yep, there is a fairly
close tie-up between foobar and SBS totals, but not exact.
At this point I am again about to expose my numptieness. I know just
about enough about PCs and networks to be dangerous and most of what I
know has been found from trial and error (the hard way ;-). For
background, my home network consists of MM PC, Workstation, Laptop and

them. We also have a number of wireless iPhones etc attached
wirelessly. Occassionally I get a message saying there is an IP Address
conflict on my network but it doesn't seem to adversely affect anything
AFAIK.
To get to the point, I cannot get my Touch to connect by ethernet now
(although it has done successfully in the past). It will connect
wirelessly but internet radio stations are intermittent due to frequent
pauses whilst it rebuffers. When it did connect by ethernet there was no
rebuffering. I have tried to enter the necessary information manually
with apparent success in that I get a message confirming the ethernet
connection but attempting to access Internet Radio results in a message
that it cannot connect to 'mysqueezebox.com'.
Can you tell me an idiot-proof way of identifying my IP Address
(192.168.0.6 ??), my Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0 ??), my Gateway IP
Address (192.168.0.1 ??), and my DNS Server IP Address (192.168.0 3 ??)

+1, but as Jim says you only set the COMPILATION tag to 1 on actual
compilations/multi-artist sets, not on multi-disc sets by the same
artist!

I would  not use 1/2, 2/2.  Set DISC or DISCNUMBER to 1, 2, etc.  For
multidisc COMPILATIONS you must set COMPILATION=1.  That's just a small
bug of Squeezebox Server.

I use the latter and could not get it to work correctly until I added

Just wondering if this is why it did not work for me.

I've noticed that the SB Touch can be a bit fussy with the WIFI signal.
My signal was dropping to abot 30-40% and playback was getting
interupted (no other devices using WIFI). I set up another router in
the same room as the Touch, configured as an access point and wired
into the main router. My signal is now at the 70% mark and playback is
flawless :-)
