Hi everyone, I've been battling with the below problem for weeks (on and off) and I've finally come to the end of my patience (in fact, I have a bruised foot where I've kicked the stairs in anger! LOL). I thank everyone in advance for reading this as it is a long post. :o)
My music hardware is listed in my signature and the network is configured as follows. Downstairs: Duet connects directly into the router (LAN) Router connects into a powerline to feed internet and network upstairs Upstairs: Powerline connects into the switch PC and ReadyNAS connect into the switch SB V3 connects via WLAN 1: Squeezecenter Squeezecenter responsiveness on ReadyNAS is widely reported as slow but when all my Squeezeboxes are switched on and connected to Squeezecenter, it can take up to a minute to open in the browser and navigation from menu to menu can take nearly as long. With all the devices off (or connected to Squeezenetwork), responsiveness is as fast (or slow) as most people report - in other words, it feels as it should. 2. Duet When playing music off the ReadyNAS, the song only plays for a few seconds before the sound cuts off (goes silent). If I pull the power from either device so that only 1 is connected, the song can make it all the way to the end. 3. Duet Controller Once I have a song playing (seemingly properly) and pick up the controller to either change tracks, change the volume or even navigate to another song, the controller loses all responsiveness; eg, press pause or the next/previous buttons and nothing happens - wait a few seconds and the command finally gets through. This lack of responsiveness (particularly when navigating to another song) normally results in a "Connecting to ReadyNAS" screen - which either works or errors with the "cannot find network/squeezecenter" despite having a full strength network connection. Following on from the problem listed above whereby the music cuts out, the Duet Controller screen still shows the song playing with the time and progress bar continuing to update as expected. 4. SB V3 This plays perfectly fine when the Duet and Controller are turned off (or not streaming anything) or it is connected directly to Squeezenetwork All this seems like the devices are struggling for bandwidth (which I very much doubt given the hardware I'm using) or there is a conflict of some sort. With my PC (Vista, LAN) and Netbook (XP, WAN) connected to the net or copying files across the network, there is no signs of a slow connection. When I log into my router, all the devices have individual IP addresses so there are no obvious conflicts. I've done all the usual factory resets on all devices. I so desperately want to just play my music. And, my foot hurts! -- NeilC *network:* netgear dgn2000 wireless-n adsl router | netgear hdx101 powerline | netgear gs685 5-port switch *hardware:* squeezebox duet (lan) | squeezebox v3 (wlan) | netgear readynas duo (lan) *software:* mediamonkey v3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeilC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2787 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58254 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
