I'm running WinXP, SC Version: 7.3 - 24282. I have two SB1s plus a Boom and a Duet. This morning the alarm didn't go off on my bedside SB1, and the time was stuck at 3:07 AM. The other SB1 showed the same thing; the Boom and Duet had the right time. All are set to use my server as the music source. When I hit a button on the SB1 remote, the "lost contact with slimserver" message appeared. I restarted the SB1 and the display then cycled endlessly around the "Slim Devices" splash screen, the Welcome screen, and the "Can't find" screen. I then tried to access the SqueezeCenter web interface (from another PC rather than on the server itself), and couldn't connect. When I logged on to the server the tray icon had the message "Starting SqueezeCenter". It's set to "Automatically run at login" I checked the uptime and found that the server had rebooted at about 3:07 AM; I'm assuming that yesterday's critical IE fix from Microsoft got downloaded at 3AM, and this then forced a reboot. The login is password protected, so the server would have been sitting at the login screen until I accessed it this morning. And so SqueezeCenter would not have been running until I logged in to check the problem. Manually rebooting the server confirmed all of the above. A quick search of the archives told me I needed to run ServiceEnabler.exe and change the option from "Start SqueezeCenter when I log in" to "Start SqueezeCenter automatically when the computer starts", which fixed the reboot/login problem. So two questions: Why does the SB1 have this odd behavior when the server goes away? Unless I missed it, shouldn't the two options for running as a service come up somewhere in the SC installation/upgrade procedure? -- Bill Burns Long Island NY USA http://ftldesign.com _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
