To explain to others who might be interested in what Epoch1970 is getting at here: One of the problems with trying to stick with using SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 is that every time you connect to SqueezeNetwork, your player's firmware asks to be updated. And every time you switch back to your local SqueezeCenter, the players claim to need yet another firmware update, or rather a down-date. Let's call this the -firmware shuffle-. If you are a heavy SqueezeNetwork user, this constant firmware updating will eventually drive you insane. The way around this is to go to http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/ and download and save locally all the files there. Then, copy them into your SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 firmware directory. This stops the firmware shuffle dead in its tracks and makes sticking with a previous release of SC/SBS much easier. So, if you're running on linux, you might do something like this: Code: -------------------- #!/bin/sh cd /usr/share/squeezecenter/Firmware mkdir bak mv *.bin bak mv *.version bak wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/boom.version?view=co -O boom.version wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/boom_30.bin?view=co -O boom_30.bin wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/boom_50.bin?view=co -O boom_50.bin wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/receiver.version?view=co -O receiver.version wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/receiver_65.bin?view=co -O receiver_65.bin wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/squeezebox.version?view=co -O squeezebox.version wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/squeezebox_10.bin?view=co -O squeezebox_10.bin wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/squeezebox_40.bin?view=co -O squeezebox_40.bin wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/squeezebox2.version?view=co -O squeezebox2.version wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/squeezebox2_130.bin?view=co -O squeezebox2_130.bin wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/transporter.version?view=co -O transporter.version wget http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.4/trunk/server/Firmware/transporter_80.bin?view=co -O transporter_80.bin echo 'Done!' -------------------- This is a safe trick to employ, as long as there haven't been any major changes made to the Squeezebox client protocol between the previous and current server releases. Personally, I've never observed that incompatibility. I employed this trick with the switch between SS 6.5 and SC 7.0 and I'm employing it now with SC 7.3 & SBS 7.4. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
