Since this question comes up regularly for new users and isn't exactly covered in the FAQ, which deals with what to do if it goes wrong, I've made a wiki page covering it.
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?PlayerFirmware > A frequently-asked new user question is "How do I update my firmware?" > > The Squeezebox has a very easy firmware update process that's different > than updating firmware in a router, for example. The firmware code is > packaged with SlimServer. If you're running the latest SlimServer, you > have the latest firmware for your Squeezebox. > > The Squeezebox always checks with SlimServer that it has the latest > firmware. When you update SlimServer, if it includes new firmware, both > the Squeezebox and SlimServer will let you know that the player requires > a firmware update. SlimServer will show that the player requires an > update and the Squeezebox will prompt you to press and hold the > BRIGHTNESS button on the remote to start the firmware update process. > > Once you press and hold the BRIGHTNESS button on the remote, a progress > bar indicates how much of the firmware the Squeezebox has downloaded > from SlimServer. This should only take a few seconds. The player will > then reboot. There may be a longer pause on the blank screen than > normal as the code in various chips gets rewritten. > > Note that the SLIMP3, the Squeezebox and the Squeezebox2 all have > different firmware due to their different hardware. The Squeezebox3 > uses the same firmware as the Squeezebox2. The system takes into > account your player type and makes sure you are using firmware intended > for your player. > > To switch to older firmware, simply switch to an older version of > SlimServer. Feel free to edit. I've linked the 'SlimSever index page' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServer) to it, in the Post Installation section. I wanted to put it in the Beginner's Guide but couldn't think of a good place. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22387 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
