Hello, As with others, I have experienced the agony and the ecstasy of being part of the squeezebox family. I have two Duets, two Touches and one Squeezebox Radio. The players are hooked up to amps/av receivers in their respective rooms. I finally have a system that works well on LMS 7.8
Two days ago, we had a lightning storm and despite having a whole house surge protector, and individual surge protectors in the home, we had a power fluctuation (brown out). It knocked out/killed my gigabit switch in the master wiring closet, and sent a surge down the ethernet line to one of my Touches. The ethernet port on that Touch is now dead, the device does not recognize an ethernet line plugged into it (but connects over wifi). That same brown out took out an audiosource amp 100 attached to the same damaged Touch (powers on, but no sound from speaker, ethernet damaged touch works fine). The radio was dead too, but I was able to revive it by doing the + button and plug in factory reset thing. This episode has scared me. What do I do to replace a player that dies? The LMS is on my WHS 2011 box, and holds close to 600 GB of music. I have looked at all the rasberry pi stuff and other things, but I need devices to replace and expand my netowrk that meest the all crucial WAF "Wife Acceptance Factor" The Duets and Touches are easy, 1. Turn on AV Receiver 2. Aim Remote/Touch screen 3. Hit play Are their 3rd party hardware solutions that look good, and can be used if a player dies? I searched ebay USA for Joggler devices, but they are no longer to be found. Does someone offer a service to build these devices (rasberry pi, etc) with touch screens in attractive boxes? I'd be happy to pay someone to do that for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sksahai's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32434 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102861 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
