yeah. I (clearly) am no expert but it seems to be that as long as the server sees it on the network it is ok. When inserting the SD card I got the TinySBS running and then the sever on the NAS pickud up the Touch again and now SD card is removed, it's connecting to the NAS again and streaming

After a few days where squeezecentre hasn't 'seen' the Touch on the network, as soon as I slotted in the SD card we were up and running again with the Touch happy to connect to the NAS and Squeezecentre seeing it as a player. I'm going to leave 'settings' pretty much much alone now before

We mainly use the Boom and Roku. Touch less so therefore I'm thinking you're right that I perhaps either run the Touch off an SD card and then keep the Boom and Roku running off the NAS. At least I can then listed to something until I build up the courage to get stuck into the NAS again I

ok. Now I'm a bit peeved. I was faffing about trying to get the daylight clock working and somehow managed to screw up the screen when powered down so that it was blank rather than showing the clock. I've done a factory reset and now it's not working again as the Server software on the laptop

hmm, sorry for the confusion. SBS isn't installed on the laptop but I access SBS on the NAS by going to the IP Address of the NAS using the laptop. Info is as below (assuming this is what you mean): SqueezeCenter StatusVersion: 7.3.3 - 27044 @ Mon Jun 15 15:04:06 PDT 2009 Hostname: HS-DHGL8C3

Thanks for the clarification. I asked about the info from the Information tab basically to be sure about the same point. You're probably not going to like this answer, but I suggest you either find a way to get 7.5.x or 7.6 running, or you return the Touch. There's a good reason why SBS 7.5 or

I thought I was going mad as I was 99% sure I had the touch running off the NAS - and after a bit of faffing about today I achieved it again. Essentially, the Touch is saying I need to update the server software HOWEVER on logging into Sqeezebox Server on the laptop and selecting the Touch in

Well, if the Touch is working problem free off of 7.3.3, then yes, that is news. Certainly the developers are of the view that 7.5.0 or later is required for the Touch. Is the Touch playing without any problems now? -- aubuti

Hi all; I'm running squeezebox server 7.3.3 on a Buffalo Linkstation NAS (HS-DHGL8C3). Until recently, I've been using a squeezebox boom and also a Roku M1001 accessing the NAS wirelessly via Squeezebox server, Apart from odd drop outs, it's all held together well. I've just bought a SB

best bet would be to get 7.5.6 beta going ( has some anoying scanner bugs fixed ). 7.6 may be to much beta but it has better performance on low spec hardware. if 7.6 works all is well but it has the potential to not work at all ( it is an experimental beta ) all plugins is not yet supported, for
