Hi folks, Im having issues with a problematic Touch. I dont think its the device, but some sort of connectivity issue. Ill try and explain: Im running a setup of 9 devices: 4 Touches (including the problem one); 2xBooms; 2xSB3; 1 x 'softplay' or whatever. Details here -
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.8.0 - 1382588309 @ Sat Oct 26 00:04:02 EDT 2013 Hostname: vortexbox.localdomain IP: 192.168.0.10 HTTP Port: 9000 OS: Red Hat - EN - utf8 Platform: i686-linux Perl Version: 5.14.3 - i386-linux-thread-multi Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1) Total Players Recognized: 8 Due to wi-fi issues Ive tried to set up proper static IP addresses (as opposed to DCHP reserved ones). That seems to have worked OK. Due to the same wi-fi issues, Im also connecting two players (including the problem Touch) via powerline Ethernet. The problem Touch connects to the router OK, but when I point it at Vortexbox it says it cant find it...? Are there settings somewhere in the Touch menu that Im missing , that would re-establish that connection? I get the blue circle, saying connecting to Vortexbox but it just doesnt find it. However it has in the past, and the player itself is OK, because I did connect to mysqueezebox.com by wifi yesterday and it plays OK. The reason Im using Powerline Ethernet is because the wi-fi down there (46% signal strength) isnt good enough to synch with other players if Im playing my own FLAC files. I have no idea what options to pursue now, hence the question. My own next steps might be to install a wi-fi access point downstairs (in case the powerline extender is somehow faulty) but this means re-wiring my network to include a switch in the cellar; cutting holes in a ceiling; having to install a spur on my electricity circuit to power the wifi AP; and running a length of Cat5 cable. So not the easiest option. Even then, because the Touch connects to the Network OK, but just cant connect to the Vortexbox, I wonder if this would sort it or if Im missing something obvious?? Grateful for any thoughts or suggestions.
