Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Popping noises with Transporter firmware 81 and 85

Different symptom, but when I upgraded my Transporter firmware to fix a problem where the Transporter asked to upgrade firmware everytime I switched between streaming and the local server, the Koln concert files won't play anymore at all. Haven't resolved yet. -- dizzysnakepilot

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter keeps asking to update firmware?

there is a setting somewhere like Allow playing of files with no tag information or some such. Ideas? Thanks, -- dizzysnakepilot dizzysnakepilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32043 View

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter keeps asking to update firmware?

Now I can see the high res files under my 'Music Folder' in the Transporter, but they look like 'file:\\\ ...' and if I select one Transporter says 'Can't play this file'. Maybe a setting in the Squeezebox server? A cue or other metadata file needed? Thanks -- dizzysnakepilot

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter keeps asking to update firmware?

The Update Firmware message has stopped, but the new Squeezebox server isn't recognizing my high res FLAC files- they are on my drive, but the folder shows empty in the web interface and Penguin HD. Ideas? Thanks -- dizzysnakepilot

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter keeps asking to update firmware?

Seems like every other time I turn on the Transporter it says, Hold brightness to update firmware. About 10 times I've had to do this in the last month. Didn't do that before. Ideas? Thanks -- dizzysnakepilot

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What are you feeding your Transporter?

imagine it would be easy for anyone to duplicate. It's easier to hear if you turn the Transporter digital volume down and the pre-amp volume up. -- dizzysnakepilot dizzysnakepilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] My Transporter makes strange noises

ah that makes more sense. so the wires are picking up wireless emissions *from* the transporter antennas. and in this case they were indeed wires from the preamp, past the transporter and to the amps which are at the bottom. thanks for the explanation! -- dizzysnakepilot

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] My Transporter makes strange noises

not address this issue so i am adding it to this thread. so the upshot for me is the transporter antennas can pick up interference. -- dizzysnakepilot dizzysnakepilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid
