Re: [slim] Wrong self-assigned IP for SB Duet receiver
d60pdp;341939 Wrote: Thanks. I'll try again, but I don't have so much hope as stated below: There are 2 wireless routers to provide 2 wireless networks in my house: - one WEP-encrypted using Actiontec MI424WR b/g wireless router. - one WPA2-encrypted using D-Link DIR-655 b/g/n wireless router. I have tried to setup SB Duet on either systems without any result. The SB Controller connected successfully to either network. (Tried both, one after another, to test) There should be no DHCP problem since I've had my SB Boom up and running good after upgrading to 7.2. Moreover, I have about 7 other wireless devices (camera, laptops, desktops, media extenders, ...) getting IPs successfully from the network. The problem with SB Duet only appears after upgrading to SC 7.2. Before that, it has been working great, without any problem, uing the old SlimSeverr (I have to upgrade to have the SB Boom working, and now Duet failed!). BTW, how can I delete a player name in SC? Boom sets up differently than DUET and much easier I might add. I had the same issue (and ip) when I first got my DUET and found that I had to shut DHCP off in **both** routers in order to statically address my controller. My mistake for a while was shutting just the one off I was trying to connect to. During the set up sequence I don't think the controller looks at the exact router you are trying to hit for a few critical moments. I may be wrong, but that's the way it appeared to me. It was obviously confused somehow that there was a DHCP signal out there, even if it couldn't use it. This junk is beyound me. Good luck, Howard -- Howard Passman Sorry slow to respond.

[slim] SqueezeCenter 7.2 disconnects EVDO connection
I have a confusing problem. I use EVDO (a USB cellular modem)broadband service, and I use ICS to connect to Sirius, etc. I have no router, but this setup worked flawlessly for months with SC version 7.0. Once I upgraded SC (now, version 7.2), I began experiencing disconnects on my EVDO connection consistently every 13 to 14 minutes. I narrowed down the cause of these disconnects to SC: If I turn off the SC service my EVDO connection stays connected indefinitely; however, once I start SC, I again lose connections every 13 to 14 minutes without fail. Very frustrating. I have since uninstalled SC, then downgraded and reinstalled version 7.0- My connection problem has vanished. I refuse to buy an expensive EVDO router (that is what Tech Support told me to do)-I will be moving soon and won't need EVDO. I also don't want to use an outdated version of SC. I don't know much about networks (more now that I've had problems)- Is there something I am missing?

Re: [slim] Is It Possible to Play Music Directly from SqueezeCenter?
Yes...on all counts. To use your server as a player, you can use something called squeezeslave: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeSlave This creates a player that can be controlled via the web interface (or the controller). You can also do remote streaming. On the web page for you squeezecenter, click on help on the bottom left pane. You will see a link there for remote streaming. It will tell you all you need to know. To use it for local streaming (i.e. playing on your local machine), just use the ip address of 127.0.0.1. I use all of this functionality on a regular basis and I can say it works very well.

Re: [slim] SquuezeBox Classic Remote Control
I have the harmony 880 upstairs and an MX downstairs. The harmony is colorful and my wife pretty much knows how to use it. However, the MX is much more straightforward. The harmony is convoluted and complicated. They try to force you to use activities which work great when you start from scratch, but if you want to go from watching a DVD to listening to SB or something like going from listening to SB to watching cable TV, you are pretty screwed. MX has a punchthrough functionality which means you can use your volume buttons to control the amp when you have SB active. Very intuitive. The harmony only lets you do this when you are in activity mode. To get into activity mode, an on/off macro goes off, so if everything isn't off, then you are all messed up. So... on the harmony, i reprogrammed certain functions with ir learn to control things in normal device mode the way i want them controlled. If I had known i would need to jump through these hoops, I would have purchased a second MX. Now my wife is pretty good with what I have programmed into the harmony. however, she picks up the SB stock controller to adjust the music.

[slim] Gapless Internet Access on SoftSqueeze
I've set up my SqueezeCenter so that it can be accessed over the internet, and I've installed SoftSqueeze on my computer at work so that I can listen to my collection on my home computer. However, it is inconsistent in providing gapless playback when I am listening to OGG files. I've been monitoring the network traffic on my computer, and I've noticed that if I am listening to MP3 files it looks like SqueezeCenter starts sending the next file a few seconds before the current file finishes playing. However, if I'm listening to OGG files, SqueezeCenter usually does not start sending the next file until the current file has stopped playing. This causes a rather large gap in playback. Sometimes the SqueezeCenter does start sending the file early, in which case playback is gapless. Has anyone else come across this behavior? Is there anything that I can do to fix it? -- elgoodo elgoodo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20065 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52819 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Boom arriving today...!
My Boom just joined 3 SB3 Classics this week and I absolutely LOVE it! Try it naked before thinking about a sub; I don't think you will need it. Its speakers are very well balanced and sound amazing for such a small device. It's much smaller than I thought it would be and setup was a complete breeze. I plugged it in, and it did the rest. I guess it helped that my home network already has 3 SB3's up and running on it. My only hitch was not figuring out that the little remote needed the plastic wrap taken off the battery which was already installed inside it. Remote wouldn't work (before I figured that step out) so I just used one of my SB3 remotes. Controls the Boom and adds the number keypad for entering your WPA/WEP passwords if you need them.

Re: [slim] Angry about Tranporter + SqueezeCenter
Thanks for the animated discussion in response to my original post. A few points to take home: (a) Some have implied that I am arguing against upgrades, or insisting that upgrades be 100% error free. I am not suggesting that at all. However, given the widespread frequency of this problem, I am suggesting that *putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue*. (b) Some have suggested that resetting the device is the obvious answer. I don't think these users have actually encountered the problem. Physically power cycling the Transporter apparently cures the problem, only to have it recur when one tries to play another file. Since most consumer products reset when fully power cycled (and the Transporter, when afflicted with the upgrade of death seems to reset), this is a frustrating problem to face as an end-user. Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue. (c) Some have suggested that searching in the forums is a reasonable solution. But, as I pointed out in my original post, the first hits I got when I searched the forums for the solution had incorrect information. *Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue.* (d) Some have suggested that searching the Wiki is the obvious solution. I searched under combinations of terms such as Transporter, hangs, 7.2, etc and didn't find a page describing this widespread bug. It actually took me a while to realize that the Transporter didn't reset when the power was cycled. (One good point is that anyone could change the Wiki. However, I notice that a Logitech employee posted to this thread, and the Wiki remains unchanged.) *Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue.* (e) Some have suggested I should have called or written to SlimDevices technical support for advice. However, I note that ccjj did exactly this and did not get correct advice (over a period of two weeks). Since the Transport upgrade bug is a widely reported bug, this suggests to me that SlimDevices support was also not able to navigate their own information sources. So, even if you completely reject my arguments, how about making the materials useful for SlimDevices support? *Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue.* (f) Some have suggested that I might be a dimwitted or technically inept. Well, I have been a tenured computer science professor at CMU and now at UC Berkeley, I have built large systems, I continue to build large systems, and thought I was fairly technically adept. I was also willing to sign my real name here. However, let's suppose I was just an ordinary Joe with no special technical ability. Would that mean it was OK to allow a serious bug to persist -- with no warning -- and no useful advice from technical support? *Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue.* (g) If I were czar, I would solve this problem by including an automatic reset during the upgrade process, and forcing users to re-enter system passwords. But since I am not czar, I wish to once again make the following, constructive suggestion: *Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue.* To summarize: *Putting a one-sentence note (or even a simple link) on the download page would address this issue.* Is this really so much to ask?

Re: [slim] SquuezeBox Classic Remote Control
I've also never had any luck with activities... I think the concept would work if the real remote had single buttons for things, but when it has say an HDMI button, that you use to cycle thru the 4 HDMI ports on my TV it is constantly getting it wrong, or turning off the TV or some nonsense. My original remote has no HDMI 1 button, so there is no way activities would ever know what input the TV is on. I got around the needing to be in the right context (say TV or Cable box) to use the right volume etc, but using the IR learn function. I taught it the the volume IR code for my cable box by using the TV's original remote. That way no mater what context I am in the volume controls the TV. I know their is supposed to be some other way, but I gave up and did it the hard way after hours of futzing.

You can buy certain types of remotes (google jp1 remotes) for as little at $10US (radshack has a sale right now (don't bother asking the associate questions about JP1)), build or buy the appropriate JP1 programmer / cable and program the codes for (probably) all your stuff.

[slim] Help configuring SC for LAME
Love my squeezebox. Just love it. Browsing through the settings after installing SqueezeCenter 7.2 I noticed under Player-Audio-Bitrate_Limiting there is a Note: You do not appear to have LAME installed. But I do have LAME installed, I use it with EAC for ripping/burning. How can I get SC to find LAME? -Christo -- CHR1570 CHR1570's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52832 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Visit Mountainview?

Unfortunately there are no factory tours, so you'll have to take our word for it. :) Thanks, Sean. It's good to know you have at least kept final assembly in the states. Seems there are more and more issues of questionable quality and component counterfeiting coming out of China (I work in the high-rel electronics manufacturing business and see the increase in trade press articles about this.) Keep an eye on those PC boards!

Re: [slim] No Connection to Internet Radio
90% of the time, I listen to internet radio on my SB's. Said it before, will say it again: internet radio is only as good as the stream. The error that you describe suggests a stream error, and not a SC or SB error. To narrow down the possibilities try opening the station's stream in your browser or desktop player. If the problem is the same, the stream is not ... streaming. Bandwidth is often an issue for popular underfunded stations. -- ds2021 All your bass are belong to us. ds2021's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10078 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52797 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Keep Losing Connection to SlimServer
With the SB right in front of the router, and assuming a very high signal quality, are you still getting these problems? Since the SB is so close now, is it reasonable to say that if you wire (ethernet) the two together, the problem stops? Assuming the answers to the above are yes, my first suspicion would be the router. Routers are amazingly unreliable, and I saw this problem frequently before switching to pre-N (they seem to call them N now, but there is no official N standard as far as I am aware) routers. The problem was especially aggravated when moving into a house with other 80211.g neighbours. Again, N helped solve this. The routers that I presently have are a Linksys 310N and a DLink 655. -- ds2021 All your bass are belong to us. ds2021's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10078 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52795 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Setting Sleep from SqueezeCenter...
Is it possible to set the sleep timer on a boom from the SqueezeCenter? I haven't figured out how... It's probably obvious...but I can't find it...
