Hi Toby, Thanks for your interest. Yes, I went into Network Settings last night and disabled the wireless connection so the Vaio PC is now only ethernet connected. This seemed to help but it took the Touch ages and several attempts to connect to My Music. Once connected the set up played music perfectly for a few hours EXCEPT that I noticed later that the 'Now Playing' screen had gone blank - no scrolling and no track information. Shutting down the Touch and restarting it then resulted in the first track information scrolling for a second or so and then back to no information. And 'Yes' I am getting the 'Cannot connect to My Squeezebox.com' message. I love the SQ but I wish the darned thing wasn't so flakey.

But I recall that you can use the TOUCH wired with ethernet in your setup. How are you connecting the TOUCH. And keep in mind that if you set the TOUCH up with WIFI, just plugging in the ethernet cable is NOT enough to switch it to ethernet. Also, you do need the mysqueezebox.com credentials entered into your SbS settings, but with your server on 24/7, you NEVER need to switch from your own SqueezeBoxServer to mysqueezebox.com. Everything you can do with mysb.com can be done from your own SbS (including internet radio, etc.). And to confirm, these things are not typically flaky.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] No track name, no album art
I posted these problems a few months ago. I have this problem with mine and believe it is related to my backup software. When that backup software (CrashPlan) scans my PC to see if something needs backing up, my Touch keeps playing but looses the display data. I ussually get it corre ted by stopping the Touch, then stopping and restarting the server software on my PC. Like you, cometimes I have to restart the Touch by hitting the reset button or just unplugging it. Also, to prevent this from happening, I sometimes will pause (or put to sleep) my backup software for a while before listening to my Touch. -- Blazer Blazer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85818 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Can a Squeezebox Touch access a NAS?
Vortexbox is not simply server software -- it is a complete operating system, based on Fedora Linux. So installing Vortexbox means _replacing_ the Linux operating system on your NAS. As NAS OSs are usually very customized distros for that particular hardware, I would be surprised if you could put Vortexbox on it. Does the NAS even have an x86 CPU? As an alternative, why not run SBS on your PC but use the NAS as the library, instead of having a separate copy on your PC? If you are running the regular SBS there is nothing that says the library has to be on the same machine. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85472 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Then in SBS Settings Basic settings specify the NAS folder as your music library. If you are running Windows on your pc there are two ways you could specify the NAS folder. One is by assigning a drive letter (using Windows Explorer). The other is by using the UNC address, which takes the form \\servername\foldername. I don't run SBS on Windows so I am not sure which is the preferred approach, but if one doesn't work, try the other. Or there are plenty others around here who know the answer. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85472 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Suddenly, no music from Touch

So far, I have not had a recurrence, but when it happened earlier on, restarting SBS didn't solve the problem either. It seems odd that removing power and plugging back in would do it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] No track name, no album art
Blazer;613338 Wrote: I posted these problems a few months ago. I have this problem with mine and believe it is related to my backup software. When that backup software (CrashPlan) scans my PC to see if something needs backing up, my Touch keeps playing but looses the display data. I ussually get it corre ted by stopping the Touch, then stopping and restarting the server software on my PC. Like you, cometimes I have to restart the Touch by hitting the reset button or just unplugging it. Also, to prevent this from happening, I sometimes will pause (or put to sleep) my backup software for a while before listening to my Touch. Interesting. I can try moving my software to another computer, but I'm not running any backup software. I'll also try to bounce the service the next time it happens and post back here. If it's a server-side issue, I wonder if I'll see the same problem when I sync my Boom up? In any case, I'm switching from a Windows desktop to a Linux desktop. We'll see if it's client-side or server-side then. Thanks!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Further Dim Display on 'When Off' Screensaver

[SlimDevices: Touch] FLAC Settings on the SB Touch?
Quote the settings could be all out of whack, at the time i found a setup guide and turns out mine was sending flac but pretty much playing it in back into mp3, a couple of boxes to uncheck and check and the sound changed drmatically.. Unquote I don't have this issue but are there settings in the SB Touch to confirm playback is FLAC instead of mp3? I am curious.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Further Dim Display on 'When Off' Screensaver
There is an automatic brightness mode that senses the light level in the room and dims the display when it gets dark. You can adjust the minimum brightness level (the brightness it goes down to when the room is completely dark). If you want the clock to be very dim during the night, set the mode to automatic and the minimum brightness to very low.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Alarm does not work properly
Yesterday I tested squeezebox touch alarm and it worked nicely. I configurated it woke me up this morning but nothing happened. It should have alarmed two hours ago, but it didn't work. I can still see the bell icon on the screen though. I have checked that alarm time was (is) correct. Background: I have squeezebox touch. My music library is on vortexbox. I mostly use them with iPeng on iPad. Like I said, yesterday I tested alarm. I set up it 15-20 mins ahead, I shutdown vortexbox and squeezebox touch. About 5 minutes before alarm time vortexbox started up and then right on alarm time squeezebox started to play music from my currect playlist. I repeated this few times and it worked without problems. Then I set up alarm for waking me up in the morning (about 8 hours ahead), shut down VB and sb. And like I said, nothing happened.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] FLAC Settings on the SB Touch?
There are 2 settings in SBS that affect how flac files are played. The default settings are correct. The 2 settings are: 1) Player - Audio - Bitrate Limiting... this should be set to NO 2) Advanced - Filetypes - Fileformat:FLAC, Stream Format: MP3, Decoder:disabled -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
