I'm still none the wiser about the debugging and the log upload. I'm reasonably IT savvy so I could probably work it out, but I'm not going to bother - life's too short.
Heaven only knows how the average consumer views the Squeezebox experience, especially at upgrade time. Mine never worked out of the box as I had to reconfigure my firewall to make even the basics happen. Now that it works with Squeezecenter, or whatever it's called now under 7.4, I'm leaving well alone. Under wireless, the SB3 would experience drop-outs and re-buffering, that was solved by going to Powerplugs. When the thing is working, it is an awesome piece of kit. But the whole thing has cost me both time and money. I changed my router from the standard device that came with my broadband package to a Belkin Vision N1, thinking it would cure my wi-fi issues. I bought new cordless phones to keep them off the same frequency as the router. I went out and purchased Powerplugs and a 5m Ethernet cable. None of this stuff is cheap here in the UK, so whilst I bought the SB3 at a reasonable price of about £160, I must have spent in the region of £300 to get it to work reliably, not including all the time required to invest in finding a workable solution. I could have bought a Sonos single room solution at that consolidated price of £460 and have had it working out of the box with no further financial or time investment. When support solutions involve debugging and uploading log files, I do wonder how commercially feasible the Squeezebox is, as most people simply won't accept this. -- Squeezemeister ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squeezemeister's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31430 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68558
