Lately my Squeezebox and Slimserver have had trouble making contact. I hit the power button on the remote and see the mesage:
waking up slimserver... and then the screen goes blank. I start the web interface into Slimserver, and it says that my device is not found. I stopped and re-started Slimserver. No change. I power cycled the Squeezebox. No change. The first time I tried to debug this, I started Softsqueeze 3.3, on the same host as my server, and it COULD reach the server, but no sound came out when I told it to continue the internet radio stream that it said was what I'd left off "now playing". I quit Softsqueeze 3.3, and started Softsqueeze 2.8. That one made contact, but had trouble doing anythng. Finally from the web interface, I told it to play "random mix" onto my Softsqueeze. A little while after that I was able to make contact from the Squeezebox to the server, and play music. A couple days go by, and all seems well. But today, again Squeezebox and the Slim Server can't find each other. This time Softsqueeze 3.3 works fine, but no difference with Squeezebox. Seeing in other threads, that sometimes there's a wi-fi issue, I've plugged my Squeezebox into one of the hard wired ports of my Wi-Fi router and power cycled the Squeezebox. Now the Squeezebox seems to be able to reach the server. But I don't know if that's because I've gone hard-wired, or if I managed to do the same shaking loose of the problem that I did last time. Additional information: My players are generally configured to be synchronized, and I wonder if this is creating additional complexity, even though the Softsqueeze is generally not running. I listen to internet radio via Radio paradise, which sometimes has problems with streams hanging up. My Squeezebox is literally five feet away from my wireless router, whereas my server is in the next room. I expect nobody is going to be able to help on this one. I'll run for a while hard wired to the Squeezebox and reply to the thread if the hardwared connection manifests the problem same as the wi-fi. -- wcattey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wcattey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33878 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
