in short: thanks so much for this script, it was the only thing that let me salvage my duet... I was /this/ close to buying a netbook to run an emulator instead.
In case it's of use to others, here's what happened to me: LMS 7.5.5 was getting horribly laggy both on the controller and the web interface. Streaming was at first intermittent, then failed completely. The duet receiver would sometimes have the blue light, sometimes the white light. Errors in the log indicated difficulty finding the player. I'm pretty sure now that long timeouts on those sorts of errors were what was causing 7.5.5 to behave so slowly. I upgraded to 7.7.2 (including controller firmware), and while the newer version dealt with the no-player problem much better, and had much faster rescan speeds, the underlying problem was still there - duet receiver flaking out. I looked into the net::udap thing and got the Perl rigamarole working (the older compiled version had a lot more error messages it seemed). It turns out there was a garbage value in one of the fields that was totally buggering up the networking. Once I fixed that and saved it, back to normal! Then, I took it a step further, assigned a static IP and set the network to wired, then hung the box off of the Amp SR20000g wireless extender/repeater we use to get decent video streaming to the basement. So, now all the music is coming in at N speeds instead of G. The whole system seems a lot more responsive than before, but I'm not sure if that's a function of 7.7.2 or N vs G, or both. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pomatomus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34040 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
