Well, to jump back in on this thread: I have a wired SB2 connected to a Netgear print server/bridge. However, the bridge also connects to the xbox which means the SB2 is basically powered off all the time. I have been experiencing the same stuttering and freezing problems when running

neither of the bugs listed above seem to address the issue I am experiencing. (they relate to playlist not advancing) The problem I am experiencing is that songs seem to freeze mid-song or stutter as if the server is out of gas or the network connection is hokey. Checking the CPU or signal

I experienced this as well. I was pretty psyched to get my SqueezeBox last week, but it did this (stopped playing at the start or end of a song in my case) a couple of times. Stability is definitely the highest priority for me, so this is ashame. I am returning the unit, and I am a bit bummed,

Well, my unit was a wired-only version, so wireless issues can be ruled out in this case at least. And I do not suspect any general network issues, although it's hard to be 100% certain, of course. -Joe kevin Wrote: Well, with these last two messages, the symptoms sound more like network

I'm getting similar problems. It's very intermittent but I've had songs silently freezing pause/play no effect but advance to next song works. I've had choppy sound early on some songs. I've also had songs repeating themselves, songs just stopping and moving to the next song for no reason. All

I'm seeing what appears to be the same behavior in 6.1.0 nightly build. I just set up 6.1.0 (nightly build from 5/29/05) and updated Softsqueeze and the SB2 firmware. NB I have the SB2 and Softsqueeze to run in synchronized mode. Intermittently, apparently regardless of playlist and type of

I just noticed something else: I have the SB2 set to crossfade, a setting that is not available on softsqueeze (at least, if it used to be, it's not there any more). I switched off sync in the server and switched off crossfade on the sb2, and the problem has not occurred since doing so. next

I've got a SB1 (wireless connected) and am suffering this problem of the playback constantly freezing. It has happened both between tracks and mid song. Even a rebooting the server and disconnecting/reconnecting the player doesn't solve the problem. Doing a top on the server during a freeze

Hi there, same problem for me. Not as much when I use a patch cable, but lots of problems with wireless. Sometimes tracks do not advance, but also sometimes sb2 just freezes, audio playback continues but no control with remote possible. I have to press the power button for 3 sec to reset it.
