Hey, you're not alone.I've got a big library of 250 Gbytes, and had numerous issues getting my new Squeezebox touch to work properly.
My main problem was that when scanning for files, after about 4 hours of scanning the HDD, some time after starting to scan album art, the squeezebox stops with an error "music server stopped due to a problem". I tried 4 different models of USB HDD (including a powered one) and I bought a USB powered hub in case the unpowered USB HDDs couldn't supply sufficient current without luck. Some issues I had along the way included: 1) USB connection dropped repeatedly. 2) When I navigate to a file and try to play it I get an error "Problem can not open file for:" 3) GUI freezes or is unuseably slow 4) Server needs restarting 5) Impossible to browse by tags because every time you enter a menu such as "Artists" It takes forever to populate the entries. That would be OK if it remembered them, but as soon as you exit that menu and re-enter it does the same thing again. 6) Squeezebox hangs saying it is scanning but it's not, the HDD isn't even spinning. Eventually after several scans, wipe and rescans and factory resets, I got it to scan everything although albumart is missing (which was working at one point), I can't log into the squeezebox server (which was working) and the device is permanently scanning for new files (which I guess is making the GUI so slow).Wouldn't it make more sense to be able to manually control the file scanning and choose the directories. I have other stuff on my HDD I don't want scanned. I also tried to point the picture viewer at a picasa album embedded URL and that failed too. So, I'm very unimpressed so far but I haven't given up yet. -- RichardLittlewood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RichardLittlewood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77230 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
