Interesting thread, as mentioned earlier, same problems as many of you. I have 2 locations each with LMS and multiple devices. One site is fairly isolated and has minimal neighbouring WIFI - I've never had any issues here with Radios or Receivers here. The other site is in an apartment in a city centre - over the last year or so radios and receiver regularly drop of the NW. So I assume it's my neighbour's WIFI to blame.
Anyway, as I see it there are two issues here, one is why does it happen in the first place, this is no doubt going to be tricky to pin-point and even trickier to resolve given that the WIFI hardware is pretty old (and unsupported now?). The other issue is how the radio's and receivers behave in the event of an error. The recovery process seems very hit and miss and I suspect there are a number of bugs and blind alleys in the code here. Understandable because, in the past, the WIFI was pretty rock solid and never need revisiting once set. So I think the "RF" issue is highlighting some weaknesses in the recovery/reconnect code. The good news (I hope), is that surely that can be improved by the people who know about this stuff? Sometimes, my system gets so confused (lost NW, can't reconnect, spinning blue circle, can't find NW, reboot device, reboot router, factory reset device is the only cure). This is very annoying when you get home and all you want to do is play some music, and you are forced down a reboot/factory reset cycle. A more robust recovery/repair procedure would be a great step forward, at least then a easy re-connection would be an option. Anyway, I'm pleased to see that this is getting some attention here, keep up the good work, much appreciated. location 1: lms 8.0 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 touch, x1 controller : location 2: lms 8.0 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 duet receiver, x1 controller : alexa mediaserver smart skill, material android, squeezelitex control ------------------------------------------------------------------------ staresy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109953 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
