Ok, that's helpful info. If you are only using Squeezenetwork, what default brightness are your players set to? If you log onto the Squeezenetwork page (http://www.squeezenetwork.com) and check your player settings in the web interface, I'm guessing that your default brightness is set to something other than you want. Change it, click save, and I hope at least the brightness issue will be sorted.
I'm not quite sure you have understood my point about the difference between what the SB has to do to and what your laptop has to do. Streaming audio requires a constant flow of packets with very limited flows of damaged or lost packets. Your laptop is much more forgiving of variable flows of data (for normal use) than the SB is for audio. The problems you are experiencing do sound very much like a flaky wireless connection - if you can improve that, a lot of your original concerns would be dealt with. Couple of other thoughts - What router are you using and can you tell us a bit about the settings? In particular, do you have any QoS or booster options switched on, both of these can interfere with streaming audio which requires a constant throughput. Also, what is your wireless signal strength like and where are you based? Squeezenetwork only has certain data centers in certain parts of the world at the moment, so that might also be a factor. Finally, how many other networks can you see when you check on your laptop? What channels are they on? Apologies if this is grandmother sucking eggs, but different wireless networks on the same channel will interfere with each other. Have you tried changing your wireless channel to something else - particularly if your router auto assigns you a channel, try changing it to see if this improves your wireless connection. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsBeginnersGuide -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39421 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
