Aha, that may explain why I cannot get as good sound quality from my SB
as compared to when I use my normal universal player as transport. I
thought the lesser sound quality was mostly due to HF pollution from
the wifi circuit.
But now I have more serious problem again. I found out that the reason
why I ran into the problem "Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor" was
due to the router assigning new IP addresses from time to time. By
editing the Spotify favorite every time before I tried to connect, it
worked, but I got fed up with having to do this over and over again. So
then I tried to allocate fixed IP addresses for all connected devices.
After that I cannot connect at all to Spotify. I have cleared the fixed
IP addresses again, but it still does not work, not even after powering
off and on the router again.
What happens is this: when clicking on the Spotify favorite, the blue
DSBridge tray changes colour to green as it should, and the sound
ceases in the computer. But the connecting is just hanging (the
rotating symbol just going on for ever). Sometimes I have got the
message "cannot parse data" or something like that. I have tried with
deleting the Spotify favorite and redefined it, cleared preferences and
cache etc. I have deleted the files from the Spotify directory and
stored new copies there again. Nothing helps.
What could possibly be wrong?
This is the real drawback with Squeezebox, it is not very reliable.
Something that worked yesterday does not necessarily work today...
