Thank you for the response. With the latest 8.0 version the instructions that were provided within the server settings page for updating the player did not work. I could enable the patch applet on the SB radio but it would then become unresponsive and show that it was disconnected from the server. Sometimes hard power cycling it would get it to work for a little while but the controls are slow and unresponsive. I suspect the player cpu is completely overwhelmed with some process activity but don't know if I can debug it (doubt it has ssh access, etc.). i have been having a lot of trouble with my SBs and these newer versions. My SB Boom would just randomly turn itself on and start playing music, something it's never done in the 7 years I've owned it. The SB Radios will periodically disconnect from the server and not reconnect. I upgraded to newer versions in order to gain Spotify integration. Doesn't seem to be worth it. I will roll back to the last release version and confirm that everything is working properly again before I contemplate another attempt to update to the newer versions. Thanks for all your hard (unpaid) work on this project. It's gratifying that someone cares enough to put this amount of effort in keeping these abandoned but very useful products going. In my case I don't seem to be having good results but maybe if I confirm everything is stable for a few weeks on 7.x I will contemplate another attempt at updating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ voip-ninja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69939 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111938 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
