Distance to the server shouldn't matter in the issue of displaying art or station logos. SBS running on your computer does handle this issue much better than does MySqueezeBox.com. But the streams (and included data within the stream) are still traveling the same distance. i.e. a stream

[SlimDevices: Radio] I took my SqueezeRadio to Chicago for a trip??

2010-08-21 Thread Ikabob
I brought along my Squeeze Radio to a trip to Chicago. I wanted to show it off to friends that were with me. In the hotel room they had an ethernet connection and the radio also found some wireless networks, some of which had no passwords. I was unable to get connected to any wireless connection

Does it find the network name that your laptop connects to? Does it try to connect and then give an error? Does it ask for a network password (regardless of whether one is needed)? Is the SSID hidden by the hotel? -- mobileadam

Even open networks that do not require any specific login info (room #, password, etc...) will often still require a simple accept terms click. SB players do not have built in web browsers so therefore the players cannot see nor respond to such simple input requests. -- toby10

A lot of hotels, even with unsecured networks, will still require you to first reach a webbrowser page and tell it something (like room #, etc.) This has been my experience too. More than likely that is what is going on. -- Kurt

[SlimDevices: Radio] Server not seeing all my music

Hi there, I love the Squeezebox (except for the fact id doesn't talk to my Twonky server on my NAS device...) One serious problem though... it does not see my complete collection of MP3's It seems to go to about 1600+ and stop... that doesn't work so well for me since I have over 11k mp3's

Something like this happened to me when I upgraded from one server release to another and a cleanup fixed it. If you're absolutely certain that your entire music library lies within the path you've configured in Squeezebox Server, run the second cleanup option (Clean cache folder...) on the

Well,when I look at the scanner log, I see that whole entire sub-directories are just plain skipped... I don't get it, this seems odd. it is consistently skipping the same sub-directories each and every time. I look at the directory names and nothing is odd...no weird characters...totally

I moved the directory to c:\Media...not change. the scanner is still missing the same directories. This must have something to do with some file or path issue...maybe it doesn't like the name or something...this seems unlikely to me. MH -- thainmlh

Wow...I can't believe I figured this out...this is a BUG (at least I consider it a bug.) Apparently, the SYSTEM file attribute was the cause. Once I changed the attribute (attrib -s *), the files showed up in the list Why ignore files marked with the system attribute? Since I copied these

So, for those who need it, the command to remove the system attribute is: attrib -s c:\Media /s where C:\Media is replaced with the directory of your choice. -s = system /s = change this in the current and all subdirectories for the noobs ;-) MH -- thainmlh
