Your router is a tiny computer. Your SB Touch is a tiny computer. Sometimes things just get messed up in *any* computer and a reboot solves that. Most of our other computers get rebooted if not daily, then at least every so often. But the router and the SB player might go months and months without a reboot. And SB players do seem to have some issues (by design) in dealing with DHCP servers in routers that some other network connected devices don't have. I don't undertand the technical reasons for this. But I can say that I give fixed IP addresses to all my SB players and VB server and anything else that is on my network (and doesn't leave my network). And I mean a true fixed/static IP address, not simply a "reserved" address within my router. This said, while everything is working, I'd go into my router setup and go ahead and "reserve" the IP addresses that all your connected devices have used. p.s. to setup a fixed IP address in the TOUCH, you need to temporarily turn OFF the DHCP server in your router. Then restart the TOUCH and go through network setup for the TOUCH. It will fail to get an IP address then scroll down on that screen on the touch and choose "enter IP address manually". In your case it would be: IP Address: 192.168.0.xx (where xx is an address that is outside the range handed out by your Router...you should see this in your router. Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS server: 192.168.0.1 in Touch you may have to enter 3 digits, i.e., 192.168.000.001 When done, go back into your Router and turn DHCP server back ON. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94828 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I think your Touch is connected to your LMS server. Just to prove that Tpuch plays the stream OK and avoiding any LMS issues, I suggest 1. Make the following URL a mysqueezebox.com Favorite and give it a unique name (e.g. Testing 6Music) so you won't mix it up with any other existing favorite. *http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r6_aaclca.pls* 2. Make Touch connect to mysqueezebox.com using Touch *Settings/Advanced/Networking/Switch to mysqueezebox.com* 3. Select the new favorite just created and play it.

If your player is playing through mysqueezebox.com then it is possible that BBC geo-ip blocking issue is still messing things ups (it starteded a few weeks ago but I thought no longer affected UK users) as mysb.com server may not be UK based. If you connected through your local LMS (i.e connected to My Music) then BBC will service request. How are you connected to BBC and what format ?

OK to have multiple servers (and just use switch library to move from one to the other). But easier if both are using the same version of LMS (e.g., 7.7.2). Regarding the online LMS server (mysqueezebox.com), you are correct. You NEVER need to connect to it as long as you are running one of your local servers. It is useful for folks that don't want to run a local server (but of course they are then limited to internet radio and online music services (MOG, Pandora, etc.). You do need to enter your "mysqueezebox.com" credentials, even in your own local LMS server, as this is what allows your server to talk with services such as Pandora, MOG, Spotify, SiriusXM, etc. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94828 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

thanks mate. ok, just moved my switch library to home menu, so thats one job done :-) youre right, i sometimes have 2 servers running, is that a problem? and if so why? i have LMS running on my laptop, and my wife has it on hers too, this is the other option in the switch library. as for the upgrade, mine is 7.7.2 already, same as SB online, so why would it ever ask me to downgrade?? thanks for the tip on ignoring it tho when it prompts me, ill try that next time. and as for switching servers, i never use online server anyway. i suppose thats because i dont know why i would :-) i must admit i dont understand all this server stuff, and dont really understand what SB online does. my knowledge is limited to knowing that i have my music on my laptop, my server on my laptop, SB touch and laptop pick up my wifi and send music or internet radio requests to my amp and speakers. i see SB online as an option but dont know why or when i would ever use that instead of my local server. thanks for your help sadexpunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94828 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] connection problems - whats going on?????
Move your "Switch Library" menu item to your Home menu, then you can select exactly which library to connect to right off the bat. Do you have two LMS instances running? The upgrade loop is usually caused by the two servers (LMS on your computer and MySB.com online) being different versions. If so then you will indeed be prompted to upgrade/downgrade upon each server switch. To avoid this: - update your LMS to 7.7.2 (same as on MySB.com) - ignore the update (swipe screen from L to R), only need to do this when connected to one server - don't switch servers staying on only LMS or MySB.com toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94828 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
