Hi,

I just received my new Duet and now I have a lot of questions as many
things are new.

- Is there a way to set the static IP address of the
controller/receiver without resetting the controller and/or the
receiver? If I do it as advised (turning off the DHCP server) the
controller gets a 169.x.x.x address.

- I massively used the keyword search and the song scanner plugins. I
have installed them on my SC7 but they only show up on my old SBs. I
found RetroBrowser but if I use this I don't have the benefits of the
new controller. And it's sluggish. Do the developers of the plugins
think about making them available on the Controller, too?

- I use a small script that displays the phone number on the SBs'
display. It uses the CLI show command. First, the show command returns
a response line on SBs for that command. The Controller does not, it
waits forever. And the behaviour on the Controller is conpletely
different: It only shows a small window. The duration parameter is
ignored, it only shows the message for 1 or 2 seconds. The screensaver
does not interrupt if a message is displayed. And is there a way to
display it in large letters like the background getting dark with white
letter (like updating, etc)?

- There is a hole at the top of the Controller. It seems as if I could
plug something in there. But I cannot hear anything. What is that hole
for? And it has a speaker. It comes to my mind that this would be the
basis for a squeezebox in the controller, hmmm...  Anybody heard of
such? The user's guide does not talk about that hole.

- Is it possible that I saw an IR sender next to that hole?


And now for the problems that I have with the Duet:

- The battery in the controller is empty after about 45-60 min. The web
site says something about several hours and with all saving modes
multiple days. What are your experiences?

- After about 1.5 hours of listening the receiver sound becomes really
bad. The sound becomes some sort of "metallic" and distorted. I think
that the received also becomes quite warm. I now had this for 3 times.
(I have the Duet since yesterday.) Does anybody have an idea what I can
do?

- The Controller often "reboots" without doing anything.


Lots of questions. And I thank you for your answers!
