So from what you say this will increase a little when on charge. Shame if this is the case as I've not seen too many 6v (say) bettery packs around (apart from humungous bike batteries etc). Yes, audiophile mucking about - switching from mains power to battery definitely makes a small improvement. ---- liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104924 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Battery PSU
Aha - that did it. Keeping the battery on charge at the same time did the trick (although manufacturer states that charging and draining the battery at the same time is not the best thing to do). The battery was giving 5.11v by the way. I assume the Touch needs to draw a slightly higher voltage on boot up ? liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104924 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Battery PSU
I have a Touch that's been running happily for a few years now - best with the TT3 software tweaks in my opinion. But thought I'd try a battery PSU. This has worked in the past but this week it just won't start. The PSU is essentially a mobile phone charger rated at 5V / 2.4amps (RAVPower) and happily powers my Raspberry Pi for many hours. The symptoms I get on power up are; "Logitech" logo screen appears for a few seconds then disappears. "Free Your Music" message on a blue background then appears for just a couple of seconds, Then the "Logitech" logo reappears again - and we keep going round this loop. The battery is fully charged. Any ideas anyone ? ---- liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104924 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
Hi I installed EDO but I now have severe problems getting the Touch to actually start. It's connected via ethernet to a Buffalo wireless bridge if it helps (all works OK without EDO). On turn on I get the 'Unsupported by Logitech" message but then the same message keeps re-displaying every few seconds (10-20 typically). I have to try powering off and on many times (sometimes into double figures) to get the Touch to progress to its normal, coloured, menu screen from where I can use it satisfactorily. I use a 5v battery pack to power the Touch - again this works fine without EDO installed. Any clues as to what's going wrong ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Disable WLAN on Squeezebox Touch
All sorted after a factory reset - thanks. What I didn't realise is that tt -s on the Touch interface shows 'Modification WLAN - Disabled' which actually means the WLAN is ON !

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Disable WLAN on Squeezebox Touch
I've installed a Buffalo wireless bridge to provide an Ethernet feed to the Touch. It shows it is connected to my wifi network. Then disabled the WLAN on the TOUCH ( tt -WLAN from ssh) and plugged a cable from the bridge to the Touch. Now I can't see the Touch on the network at all! As I have also disabled the IR remote control and screen I'm a bit stuck - neither can I get access using the WINSPC / putty programme I used to install Souncheck's mods.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Basics for IPod Touch use
Is there an idiots guide for getting and setting up an IPod Touch for use as a remote ? Which model IPod Touch would I need ? Where do I get IPeng (and version ?) Configuration needed. Does the IPod replicate all of the screen information displayed on the Touch ? Just that long range visibility of the Touch screen / std remote is driving me mad !

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Viewing the Touch from across the room...
Getting there, I think . . .. I installed Custom Clock / Helper on the server and have picked the options up on the Touch so that I now have a number of different Custom Clock configurations under Custom Clock Settings. I then tried to replace the setting for 'Now Playing' with one of the VU meter options - so that when I now play a track I get a pair of meters along with Artist / track etc. Great. However when I've tried to select a different option (eg replace the VU Meters with another config option under the Screen Settings, for example "Now Playing GW" and return to playing a track, the VU meters still remain. I've turned the Touch off and on again but the VU meters are still there. Am I missing a step somewhere ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch - first impressions and questions
I can only agree with the disappointing readability of the Touch screen. I for one find the album art a gimmick and would far prefer to do away with that for a larger font I can read from 4m plus away. And why do I need to see three song titles at once ? My SB3 was perfectly adequate showing one at a time and I just scrolled. I think Logitech have got this seriously wrong - the Touch would be fantastic as an in car item (where the proximity and touch elements of the screen would be perfect) but for remote operation it's next to hopeless. What is the point of a 5cm picture of album art that you can barely see from a listening position ? So are there any cures ? Would / could Logitech release a software update that did away with (or provided an option to replace) the 3 song titles / small font thing and tried to emulate the SB3 ? Is there a remote device that can handle the display info in your hand (like the Sonos) ? I've heard mention of Itouch / Ipeng etc but haven't a clue how this might work. Oh, and please Logitech, can I have my analogue sound level meters back . . . . -- liffy99 -------- liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78066 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Duplicate name
Hi Getting to know the finer details of my Touch now (and thanks for the post about fixing the volume output - seems to work fine). But during the setup phase I managed to create a second name / details for my Touch so that I get a dropdown choice of which Touch (there is only one) I want to use. Is there a way of deleting the set of details I don't want - I can't find anything ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch or NAS
So much tech talk my head is spinning ! So some questions in plain English . . . Assuming a I have a Touch with an attached USB HDD; 1) I can manage (add, delete, organise, tag) files on the Touch HDD through my PC or Apple via the home wireless network. 2) The Touch will be able to play the content of the attached HDD with no PC needing to be on elsewhere. 3) Plugins, like Alien BBC, wouldn't be available (but they would be if one went down the conventional NAS / Squeezecentre route) 4) The Touch could feed other Squeezeboxes across a wireless network (e.g. the SB3 I have in my kitchen could play the files on the HDD attached to the Touch - would the Touch need to be switched on in this case and where would player settings need to be managed from). 5) Is bandwidth a problem ? Especially with high res 24/96 files which, in FLAC, are likley to consume, say, 2000kbs plus ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] technical info audiophile about SB Touch
So does this mean that a Touch, wired to an external Hard Drive (how noisy are the stand alone ones) would remove the need for a NAS ? Presume not if more than one Touch is used (e.g. in another room). Also to get files on and off the hard drive would probably mean hooking up a laptop every time. -- liffy99 liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72246 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
