[slim] Problems after upgrading to SqueezeCenter 7
Hi, About a month or so, I upgraded from SlimServer 6.5.4 to the official SqueezeCenter 7.0. The update went fine and no apparent problems. Starting my SqueezeBox also went well and the firmware got updated. But the SB does really not respond well to remote commands from the IR controller. It is VERY slow - like 5 seconds for each press of a button. Furthermore I noticed occational freezings during start of the SB (not often but about 1-3 times a week). Well, about 5 days ago I decided to upgrade to the newest beta. Upgrade also went well, but I had a lot of problems getting the SB to update the FW. Pressing brightness didn't work - either no response from the SB or total freeze. Reading a few suggestions here I then set the SB to automatically update the FW - this helped. BUT using the beta versions didn't help on the slow IR Remote problems and the SB got a lot more unstable. Often freezing and today I didn't succeed in getting it to work. It boots fine and then displays Now Playing - it then freezes and I can't do anything. Restarted a few times with no change (both using wireless and ethernet). Well, I've not uninstalled SC and reinstalled SlimServer 6.5.4 - after the downgrade starting the SB again it apparently downgraded the firmware to 81 and everything is running as it should - eg. no freezes yet and a very responsive IR Remote :-) It would be great if anybody has some suggestions of what to do as I really liked the SC7 interface and functionality :-) I'm running this on a Windows 2008 64bit server - firewall has been changed appropriately (during the tests it was even disabled).

Re: [slim] Unable to update controller
radish;293750 Wrote: An average user should be running 7.0.0, which wouldn't have had this problem. When you use a pre-release version of SC7 your controller will start getting pre-release firmwares, and if you're not willing to put up with breaks you shouldn't be using them. I don't think the actual problems here were due to my or anyone else's will. The fact that I'm willing to put up with breaks does not mean that I accept any dead-end updates as well. Fortunately this bug was quickly fixed. It is reasonable to require that the update functionality in the SB controller is a well-defined and limited peace of software that can be used with high reliability. After that is under QA, one can hail the rest of the bug parade just as much as one likes. Further, while all the stable, testing and unstable releases of the squeececenter are published online, one would expect that anyone can put any of those in use in a server without crapping the update function of one's controller device. I referred to some usability problems beyond this specific bug that may hit the average user and that are present in 7.0.0 too: i) unable to reject controller updates (due unawareness of the back button feature for instance, and in this kind of bug it would not have even helped everyone) ii) unable to consider the immediate need for the automated update (should I update a security fix before I let it run in the public internet or any open wlan connections, perhaps?) iii) what are the necessary actions that can be used to revert the controller back to a working version asap, and where to get the information which is the latest working version (assuming the next will not do if the device is unable to update itself) Some obvious remedies for i) and ii) are mostly human-computer-interface related: - add Cancel to the update menu - add release notes that can (must?) be read in the menu that include a clear catecory of each update, say critical, bug fix, added feature or support etc. - keep critical (such as security fixes) and other updates separate when possible (they may still be interdependent, though) I don't know improvement for the iii). I've been using the gadget for only 3 weeks now and I've read these fora and wikis for less times than my controller has updated itself :). I would have to investigate the sc server vs. controller revision dependency further to see what is it about. Before this case I assumed that the controller updates (i.e. the update feature alone, not the rest of user level functions) would not be affected by the choice of the server software revision. That was my mistake and lesson learned. In this case the controller update issue was professionally fixed at the origin of the fault and all is well now. The best solutions always start with facing the facts. -- penguin penguin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46509 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Using 2 wireless routers
Jim, Thanks for the reply. Your method actually seems to be more in line with what I am truly wanting to do, but didn't think was possible. I didn't think I could have two routers on the same network both serving as a router. I'm not a networking guy, myself, so I don't understand the in-depth knowledge of routers. I am wanting to use the 2wire device as little as absolutely possible (for obvious reasons). It's my understanding from your reply that your main computer (and any others) that would be hooked up to the LAN ports of the 2wire, in normal mode, are actually hooked up to the LAN ports on the Linksys. Is this accurate? This is how mine is now and I would love to keep it this way. I don't want to have multiple network segments and would like to have everything flow through and be controlled by the Linksys. 1. Does the Linksys remain enabled as a DHCP Server? 2. Does the 2wire assign an address to the Linksys once it detects it, or did you have to put it in manually in the Router IP field? 3. Does the Operating Mode of the Linksys remain enabled as a Gateway or be changed to Router since there are now two routers in the equation? Could you please take a look at the screenshots I've attached and let me know what the settings for the fields in the red boxes should be? I would imagine those fields are the main ones that either need to be changed or left alone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I'm on a PC now so for Mac users, I'd like to know is if the directory search works. It's not always convenient to make playlists, especially because I have lots of subdirectories, and so I just like the ability to select the directory with all my music and use the remote to control the SqueezeBox and browse my drive for music, similar to browsing Internet radio. Is this something that works on the Mac as well or does everything have to be on iTunes?

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter Mac
I have Squeezecentre installed on a Mac Mini and can browse in Music Folder with no problem.

In that case I'd rather stay with the two devices. Regards, Peter I am getting about 4 days out of my SBC on a full charge. The longest I have gone on my Harmony 1000 between charges is 8 days and that was a slow DVD/TV week. The 1000 goes on the charger about every 4 days also. I think the bigger display on the 1000 probably has a lot to do with it. Plus the 1000 wakes up every time it is moved no matter if you need it to or not. If the two devices were merged, the unit would probably be bigger then the 1000 and could then get a larger battery so it might be able to go a whole week. My personal opinion on battery life between charges is that the designer knows that most people do not stay up for 48 hours straight. This allows for the unit to go into the cradle and get a good charge while humans sleep! That's the minimum AFAIAC, but it's very nice that we still have devices that don't need recharges for months like my BT mouse and my Harmony 525.

Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection
Firstly, apologies as I haven't read the *entire* thread. But I thought I would post my experiences of connectivity with the SB3. My router is a BT HomeHub (a very common router in the UK based on a Thomson/Alcatel box). I have WPA2 and manual channel selection running. My SC runs on my home pc, which is not run 24/7 and is therefore subject to normal daily power-downs. I had *very flaky* DHCP performance between the HomeHub and SB3, and had to regularly go back through guided setup to get the SB3 to renew it's lease (it would often be allocated a private address range 169.x on startup). Although it doesn't affect other wireless devices on my network (Wii, couple of laptops), I don't think the embedded DHCP server gives stellar performance. Hacked off with the constant loss of connectivity I shifted the SB3 to a static address outside of the HomeHub's DHCP range. Since then (about 2 weeks and counting), connectivity has been absolutely rock solid. I am sure many Duet owners have already tried the static address approach, but if not I urge you to give a try. -- browellm browellm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14260 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You need to have a look at you router's dhcp range first (from it's admin pages) E.g. mine is 192.168.1.64 - 192.1.68.1.253 As long as you pick an address on the same subnet 192.168.1.x you will be fine. I picked 192.168.1.60 for example. x can be anything from 2 to 63. Avoid 0,1,254,255 as are special addresses and/or reserved usually. Note: if your subnet goes all the way from x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254, and you are uncomfortable with altering the range just pick a number, say 200, that is unlikely ever to be allocated to a device by your dhcp server. Your internal address range might be different to mine (10.0.0.x is common) but the principle is the same.

I also show a SNR between 25 40. Interestingly, while I'm writing this, the controller showed the red icon. I then went to the wireless network option in advanced settings. The controller is trying to find network. This should be easy because I'm in range of 12 different networks. Unfortunately, the display is just showing the spinning dots. -- Rolo Rolo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SBC major software update bug?
i have a SBC and i'm not sure what firmware it has, but its relatively recent. a day or two ago it wanted me to update to r2287 and i didn't do it at that time... so now, i go to use the SBC and it won't allow me to NOT attempt updating. thats the first bug imo, i shouldn't be forced to update if i don't want to. well, when i try to, it doesn't happen, probably because r2302 is now at the site. so thats the second bug, if you don't update in time you're stuck with a remote that won't update, and that won't look for or find a newer r version then the one it thinks you need to update to. at the same time i can't use it b/c i can't go anywhere but the update screen. so i think both those things need addressed, and i think it would be wise to be able to choose for the SBC to automatically update itself overnight. is anyone else seeing these issues? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / Jive - w/SC 7.0.1beta - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SBC major software update bug?
so here's an interesting observation... i don't know exactly how the SBC update works, but in an effort to resolve my stuck status, i downloaded and installed SC 7.0.1-18963.exe and after doing so, i WAS able to get the SBC updated, but to version r2287 NOT r2302. also interestingly, it says this, r2287, is the newest. i don't know how or when it will be notified of r2302, but its not currently aware of it. so presumably... the SC 963 release had the r2287 fw in it, and begs the question of whether my SBC would have gotten unstuck if it had r2302 instead. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / Jive - w/SC 7.0.1beta - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Controller Availability
Dear Logitech folks- Any update on when we SB3 owners will be able to buy the new controller by itself? I know you have to meet the Duet demands first...but just wondering if you have a time frame yet for individual controller sales. There are, I am sure, a lot of us existing SB3 customers squirming in our listening chairs wanting the controller. Please keep us updated. Thanks.

[slim] transcoding on for some players only?
I know how to turn transcoding-at-the-server off (settings/advanced/file types/disable). But now I want transcoding on for one player (I've got softsqueeze set up on a PC at work) but not for the rest of my players. To test things, I'm running softsqueeze on a PC at home, playing a FLAC-encoded tune. Using the web-interface I -should- be able to, say, click the progress bar in the middle and have playback jump to that point. This doesn't work, which makes me think that, when I enabled transcoding for my player at work, I enabled it for all my players. I'm sure there's a setting somewhere to do this, but I can't find it, and would be really appreciative if someone would point it out to me. Thanks!

Re: [slim] transcoding on for some players only?
Easiest way is to just bandwidth limit your work player. This will force it to transcode everything to mp3. Undo your changes on the other players. Slightly more complex: if you look in convert.conf, you can apply rules to any player. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46645 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Order of playing ntracks in an album - by track numbers or title names ?
Hi ! I have three CDs ripped into MP3 each as a separate album,which I originally tagged so each title as well as file name starts with track number like 01 a1 02 b1 03 c1 etc Yesterday I used mp3tag to merge 3 albums into one album and then I renumerated the track numbers only (not titles and filenames) so now the desired order of playing (by the track number )is 01 a1 (from first album) 02 b1 (from first album) ... 10 x1 (from first album) 01 a2 (from second album) But when I go to album and hit play, SC7 is playing them in the order of TITLE NAMES like 01 a1 (from first album 01 a2 (from second album) 01 a3 (from third album . 03 c1 (from first album) 03 c2 (from second album) I think the order of playing tracks in a single albums should be by track numbers not title names - am I wrong ? Is it a bug in SC7 or I need also changes title names ? -- sl789 sl789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46648 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Replacement power supply for SLIMP3
I had the same problem. I just purchased a Duet etc. in the US and it has US power adapter, but the new power supplies come with slot in clips for each country (but only US supplied for US market) - I wanted a UK one and found this site on the web who sell the UK clips for the Duet. But also, you can purchase the whole power adapters which are good for SB and Slimp3. So.. for a 2A adapter try this http://www.watt-power.co.uk/catalogue/watts-phihong-plugin-adapter-3324v-psa11r-p-44.html for a more capable 3A adapter, try this http://www.watt-power.co.uk/catalogue/watts-psa15r-phihong-wall-plug-adapter-energy-star-p-82.html and for UK power clips to fit the US Duet adapter try these http://www.watt-power.co.uk/catalogue/input-clip-psmpsar-series-adapters-p-52.html -- yeomanspc yeomanspc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46604 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you are using Browse Music Folder, the order is alphabetical. Make your file names: 1-01 title for disc 1, track 1. If you are using Browse Albums (or New Music etc) then the order is by disc and then track.
