so with the encouragement of another thread here recently talking about the improvements in synching players I decided to take the plunge and upgrade from 6.5.4 to sc7.
All went well in upgrading the software and all of my plugins. But now I have introduced a whole new can of worms into my system. my system: Mac G4 running osx 10.4.10. comcast cable modem Buffalo whr-hp-g54 router sb2- wired slimp3 - wired into a netgear xe102 homeplug. works consistently. with 6.5.4 my sb2 worked flawlessly. my slimp3 worked almost flawlessly with the occasional hiccup due to it's lacking a buffer. I could synch the two players but often times the sync would drift. now with 7.0.1 i have almost continuous sync problems between the two players as well as a new problem- recurring rebuffering in both players even when they are playing in a solo situation-although it seems to occur more on the slimp3 which i would expect. When the players are synched, I push play and there's a 5-10 second delay until music starts. It then plays for a second or two and then stops for another 5-10 secs and then continues uninterrupted until it hits the end of a song. then the players go through a process of rebuffering, pausing and then usually playing the next song. this process of rebuffering, pausing and then finally playing seems to lesson as i move through a playlist but it doesn't go away. here's what the log shows: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: SqueezeCenter (7.0.1 - 17957) Connection: keep-alive Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:49:28 GMT Content-Length: 289 Content-Type: text/plain frame 6: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 198) frame 7: Slim::Utils::Timers::checkTimers (./slimserver.pl line 506) frame 8: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 9: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) when playing from just one player, I also have rebuffering problems. this is something I have almost never experienced with my sb2 before. This is the log from one of the rebuffering hiccups: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: SqueezeCenter (7.0.1 - 17957) Connection: keep-alive Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:45:51 GMT Content-Length: 298 Content-Type: text/plain frame 14: (eval) (/Library/PreferencePanes/SqueezeCenter.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Networking/Select.pm line 243) frame 15: Slim::Networking::Select::select (./slimserver.pl line 503) frame 16: main::idle (./slimserver.pl line 453) frame 17: main::main (./slimserver.pl line 1005) so that's a basic lay of the land. any ideas on how to move forward on troubleshooting? thanks in advance. I want to fall in love with the new and improved squeezecenter but at the moment it's driving me crazy. -- exile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45220 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
