It is more important that you use a nearby server.  Use one of the pool
servers, or other public NTP servers available that are close to your
location.  You'll get better results from folks that make these
dedicated services available.

http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome can help you find a
public server which will have low latency, high reliability.

I'm using them on my Debian and now on the Touch. I personally would
prefer using a Logitech NTP server, as I would not want to abuse the
generosity of the Debian people. Anybody knows if Logitech has a public
NTP server ?

After almost 24 hours, the Touch is perfectly on time. I have a
"atomic" alarm clock (thanks to my charming wife), and they are both
showing the same time down to the same second. The Touch went from
worse in the house to as good as my "atomic" clock, which is pretty
much what I was expecting in the first place when I bought the Touch.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Recommendations for USB drive

2011-05-09 Thread dasmueller

I assume you are asking about a drive working when dirctly attached to
the USB port on the Touch. I cannot help w the drive you mentioned, but
I have used a Toshiba Canvio 1TB drive attached this way. It did work. I
did not have a plugins etc when I used the drive this way. I switched to
running the same drive off my PC on a wi-fi network because updating the
music library is just so much easier that way. If you run it attached to
the USB port you are disconnecting and updating the drive doing a rescan
etc. which is a pain done this way. It does work just better when
attached to a network.

Good luck

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Playlists

2011-05-09 Thread dufferdan

Playlists have given me fits. BUT, I now have playlists that work. 

Now, I am using an HP MediaSmart server to supply the lossless encoded
music to my Touch. Connection is ethernet. 

I turned on iTunes Server in the MS WHS pane
In the web browser for the SBS, I pointed the SBS to the iTunes
library.xml file on the server.
I also pointed it to the respective Playlist folder and music folders.


In the playlist setup, I specified that iTunes playlists could be in
m3u and (I forget) one other format. 

Fired up a rescan, and now have playlists on my Touch working, for the
first time ever. I have owned the Touch for seven or more months

But, in playlist mode, the Touch does not display artwork or song info.
Anyone help with that??

The vBulletin stuff is way too smart for me. The first URL, if you
click on it, you should go to the proper place. I've fixed the second

After the modification my USB DAC does not work with my touch.
It has the latest firmware.

What is wrong in my system? This is my asound.conf file:

  }

  type plug;
  slave.pcm "usbdac";

  }

A pool of public NTP servers is available there:

IIRC, they're the default ones used by Debian systems.

No need to be embarassed. You can't expand them because the OP
accidentally truncated them, most likely by pasting the shortened URL
from a forum post instead of grabbing the full shortcut/URL to paste
(an easy mistake to spot because I've done it myself). jean2, or
someone else who knows what the URLs should be, will have to come back
with the correct URLs.

[SlimDevices: Touch] UPnP Server on Touch not running

2011-05-09 Thread xxjoe

Hello Everyone,

is there a possibility to get the UPnp Server running on Squeezebox
Touch?
My software Version is 7.6 Beta. It seems that there are some perl
modules missing in CPAN/Net/UPnP.
Copying that files from the 7.6 ARM archive an putting it to the touch
did not work (serfer.prefs parameter noupnp is set to 0). There are no
error messages which can help me in /var/log/messages. Also starting
the server not in daemon mode (output is written to the console) dont
show any helpful messages.

Any ideas?

You really experienced the same? The funny thing in my case is that it
IS mounted on the STB (as I see when login with ssh on the STB) but is
just not shown in the UI. From what you wrote it sounds as if it didn't
mount at all on the STB.

I just got my Touch today and experienced the same as you with a USB

The partition was corrupt although it seemed to mount ok under Ubuntu
and Win7. I used Gparted to delete and re-create and now the touch sees
it fine.

[SlimDevices: Touch] SBT thinks SD is not there, but is mounted...

2011-05-09 Thread jtl

Hi,

I have a recently bought a SBT and am very happy with - only thing I
don't get to work is have a SD card used locally.

On the UI just nothing happens when I insert the card, and also in the
settings it reports of not having a SD or USB device detected.

BUT: when I log into the STB via ssh, I can see in the messages file
that the SD card is being automounted, and I can also see it's mount
point when calling "mount" and of course I can also swith to the
directory and see all the files that are on the card.

So I am puzzled what goes wrong here...

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch often plays wrong Spotify tracks

2011-05-09 Thread redbullman

This has been annoying me since I bought the Touch 2 months ago.

I have a Spotify Premium account and only connect to mysqueezebox.com
(apart from squeezebox server to update the firmware).  I solely listen
to the touch via through the official Spotify client.

I have a main playlist on Spotify which has over 350 songs.  I often
find that when I select tracks on the touch, it plays completely the
wrong track.  How can this be!  This seems to happen much more often
with the most recent tracks I have added to Spotify in the last week or
so.

Just now I tried to select a track off a a specific albums playlist
(only about 25 tracks on this playlist), but it still did the same as
on a huge playlist) - it played a different track off the same album.

Even more bizarely though is I just logged onto mysqueezebox.com and
have been able to select the correct track via the remote control
feature!  So I could select the track I wanted via the web remote
control, but not on the touch itself.

I have experienced this on all firmwares.  I'm currently running the
latest 7.6 nightly.

What's going on!

Thanks
