Just an update on this, where I was having playlist startup problems when syncing a large number of Radios through wifi.
I had mentioned that I had 3 APs on the same network, all on separate channels. While rewiring the basement, I turned off one of the APs and noticed that my Squeezeboxes were much more responsive connected to just the remaining 2. In fact, I can now easily sync 15-20 Radios through the wireless network and have any playlist, local or streaming, start within 3 seconds--much better than the 20-60 seconds it used to require. At this point I'm so overjoyed and scared to jinx anything by researching the underlying cause, but I suspect it's due to the de-commissioned AP being connected to the network through a secondary switch (i.e. daisy chained) rather than though the main switch. Or, maybe it was due to the Squeezeboxes constantly looking for and hopping to the strongest AP which really have minimal differentials in most cases. Ideally, I could tie each Radio to a specific AP, but Logitech does not make this easy with manual (non-DHCP) network configuration settings. Anyway, it's now a pleasure to use the system once again, and I can confirm the sync algorithm is quite robust with 15 - 20 wireless units. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tandy1000rl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100183 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
