Re: [slim] Recent Problems with Duet Controller

Given that I upgraded to v7.2.1 of SC but have had more problems since: - Can't upgrade to latest version of SBC firmware (r3191) - Unstable on both SC SN - Slow response - Controller freezing and rebooting e.g. if I go into browse an artist from my library then it will freeze and cause the controller to restart - Losing connection to SBR/Music source Hazarding a guess then I would say its to with the firmware being out of sync with 7.2.1, what do others think ? Cheers Ian Hi. I had the same problem with the controller freezing upon entering artists that had multiple albums. When entering artists that had only a single album, controller worked fine. This was on my ReadyNAS DUO with SC 7.2.1 installed. Then, out of curiosity, I tried installing SC 7.2.1 on my WinXP box, just to see how that worked. I then connected my controller to the SC on the WinXP box, and all of a sudden, the controller had some new SW downloaded from the SC on the WinXP box. The controller has since worked fine, also after I switched back to the SC on the ReadyNAS. Maybe I was just lucky, but as a workaround maybe it could work for you to, if you have a win box, no guarantees though :-) regards Lars -- Lars-dk Lars-dk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54532 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 died
Sorry to hear about that. Do you get any red glow on the back side of the SB3 (I think that's the optical output)? Do you have another power supply you could use to test whether it's the power supply or the SB3 itself? (make sure is PS is the right voltage, amperage, and polarity) If you're sure it's the SB3, contact Logitech/Slim Devices. Remember that at some point the warranty changed from 1 year to 2 years. And if it's out of warranty, they will usually fix things for a US$90 flat fee. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.

Re: [slim] What the farthest you have gotten a signal with a Duet?

And if you mean the Controller, do you mean for controlling SC or for playback on the SBC itself, which is available in SC7.3? The other day I was getting dropouts playing FLAC files to my SBC at around 60 feet from the router, including through one exterior wall. It was fine for controlling SC, but the signal wasn't strong enough to keep up with the FLAC, especially when I went to some of the lower parts of the yard, where the house foundation walls might have been getting in the way.

Re: [slim] Future of SB3 ?
I cannot imagine the SB3 being discontinued without an evolutionary replacement in the pipeline to follow it up. IMO, there is still a market for a player with a display. If I could only have either a Duet or an SB3, I would choose an SB3. The usefulness of the display for weather and time is a significant feature for me. It's also quite stable. The Duet is great but IMHO bugs are still being shaken out of it. I just ran into a scenario myself where I have 2 servers and can switch the SB3s between them but not the Duet. More major features are being added (playback through the controller) which will certainly need time to stabilize too. The SB3 must be a cash cow at this point since the guts of it were designed back when the SB2 was introduced. The thing I think they would be worried about is parts obsolescence. The Duet was introduced about a year ago and was a radical change with the introduction of the controller. Certainly they are still recouping development costs on it. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

Re: [slim] Nokia Comes with Music
Yes keep forever. The deal is available on PAYG mobiles as well as contract. If you buy a Nokia 5310 from Orange they are £130 on PAYG. This then gets you a 12 month subscription to Nokia's music service where you can download any of 2.1 million tracks they have. Once downloaded they are yours to keep forever. The snags are that you can only use them on one computer (although they will allow you to transfer them to another once the computer dies - the idea is they are only available on one computer at a time) and you can only play them on your nokia phone. Seems a great deal to me. Only problem is I already have a PAYG Nokia 5310 and the downloads are only available with a newly purchased phone!

Re: [slim] no sound through computer speakers using squeezenetwork
SqueezeCenter is not audio player software, it is audio server software. If you want to play something on your pc, use SoftSqueeze, which is a Java-based software SB emulator. You can find it under Extras in your SC menu (left side). Or you could try SqueezePlay, which emulates the SB Controller. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.

I have tried for some good time now to get SqueezeServer (running as service) under Ubuntu to be able to access my My Book external 500GB VFAT hard disk with my music collection. Any clues?

Re: [slim] What the farthest you have gotten a signal with a Duet?
The Boom and the SBR have worked at approx 85'. I've never tried farther than that. The SBC since I've been trying 7.3 has picked up that far and maybe a hair farther. All three were out side with the router being inside. I can accurately measure it if you want. I'm basing it on my family room being 12' wide, the deck being 15' wide, the deck around the pool being 10', the pool 40' and then where I place the SB's about another 10' from there. It's almost a straight line and on the same horizon. Howard BTW, no where near that far once you leave the level the router is on. No problems with the SBR or Boom, but the SBC doesn't pick up that well upstairs. Lots of junk between the router and the bed room. -- Howard Passman .and still waiting for extra cradles..

[slim] SB3 suddenly doesn't start playing song
Hi, I ran into a curious situation, where SB3 suddenly started getting stuck when starting playing a song. It shows that it starts, showing the song progress bar after a long-ish while, but then nothing happens. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's a flac or mp3, or even Internet radio stream. Otherwise the player is very responsive, it doesn't freeze. I have booted the server and verified that I can play the same songs with Foobar2000 from the server (over slower network connection), there seems to be no general problem with the server. This started after I tried to play a song that was supposed to be a 5.1 DTS file. Could this have gotten something stuck in the player somehow? Is there a way to reset the player, or what else could I try to do to fix this?

Before that time, I *did* get both MIP and Sugarcube working, but I had double entries in my library. After configuring all of the above, refreshing the MIP headless cache, and rescanning SC, I no longer have M in my library entries, and SugarCube simply stops or repeats a single song depending on what repeat setting I choose. I've gone through the threads by Model Citizen, SlimChance, OhPinchy and others, meticulously followed the SD Wiki, Spicefly's guide, and the MIP forums, but I am just plain stuck. I'm sure it is something I've overlooked or done incorrectly, because everything obviously works, but like proofreading your own writing, I can't spot the glaring mistake. Thanks in advance for your help! Kook Must likely is the Port number setting. ie. you have SC set to talk via 10003 but the MIP headless is active on port 10002. (or vice versa) When you press the create text mix button in the MIP headless, look at the Port number in the URL string ie. http://localhost:1000x ??? Then make sure to use the 1000x everywhere in SC/Sugarcube etc. If its not that, then it is likely firewall settings or AV blocking the 1000x port. Additional tests you can do, is start the API in the MIP GUI settings and see if SugarCube starts working. Which would indicate whether that Port is blocked by something. I rolled back from 7.3 as I found it unstable and the new MIP patch just chewed my library up, you might want to drop back to 7.2.1 and just bite the bullet on long import times.

[slim] Why does external HDD = slow navigation?
I wasn't too happy with the performance of navigating my music, this goes for the web interface (especially browsing album art) and the controller interface (slow album art) and the Boom for that matter (fast scrolling on the wheel). I have SC on a XP laptop and my music(and artwork) was on a external USB 2.0 HDD. As I could see that, all the actions described above, resulted in activity on my external HDD, I decided to invested in a new, larger, internal HDD for my laptop (to fit all my music). And suddenly the performance is much much better. The artwork displays almost instantly on the webinterface, and scrolling with artwork on the controller is also much better and the same goes for the Boom (text only, but stil much better). I thought that the all the relevant metadata used for navigation was stored in the database underneath the SC installation (laptop internal HDD) and that SC only needed to access my external HDD when I'm actually playing some music. So why am I seeing this improovement in performance by mooving the music to the internal disc? -- Letten Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55016 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Why does external HDD = slow navigation?
I doubt this is problem, but it's worth asking before chasing other explanations: are you browsing by Music Folders? If so, then SC is just reading straight from the files and not making use of the metadata in its cache. That's the only explanation I can think of for what you're seeing. If you are browing by any other method (Artist, Album, Genre, etc.) then I'm puzzled too. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.

Hey All, I lost my remote control about a month back, and recently figured out how to use a Universal Remote with the JVC DVD codes to talk to the squeezebox, so I have it back up and running now. It was defunct for a while because we recently changed our security settings in our apartment, so it wasn't connecting at all. Its back on the network now, but since the Squeezecenter on my computer is upgraded, the new remote has no Brightness button for me to press and hold, so it won't upgrade the firmware in the SB. Does anybody know if there is a brightness equivalent for the Sony RM-V310. Alternately, since I'm on the network now, is there a way to upgrade through the browser control?

Re: [slim] Remote Control Issues
Well it's depending on how old SqueezeCenter/firmware you are upgrading from. In the never SB3 firmware's you go in to the settings (hold left arrow for a while) and somewhere there's a setting for automatic firmware upgrade. So if you set that the old SB3 behaves like an SBR and upgrades by itself every time you upgrade SqueezeCenter. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55020 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] EAC + library wifi = DOA
Try going to the CDDB URL you gave in your first post from a browser. If that works (you should get a message about an incorrect number of arguments), it's probably the proxy settings (strictly speaking it's proxy, not firewall - they're different things). If that doesn't work either then it's probably something upstream at the library which you won't be able to (easily) get around. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54977 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Why does external HDD = slow navigation?
Letten;359381 Wrote: I wasn't too happy with the performance of navigating my music, this goes for the web interface (especially browsing album art) and the controller interface (slow album art) and the Boom for that matter (fast scrolling on the wheel). I have SC on a XP laptop and my music(and artwork) was on a external USB 2.0 HDD. As I could see that, all the actions described above, resulted in activity on my external HDD, I decided to invested in a new, larger, internal HDD for my laptop (to fit all my music). And suddenly the performance is much much better. The artwork displays almost instantly on the webinterface, and scrolling with artwork on the controller is also much better and the same goes for the Boom (text only, but stil much better). I thought that the all the relevant metadata used for navigation was stored in the database underneath the SC installation (laptop internal HDD) and that SC only needed to access my external HDD when I'm actually playing some music. So why am I seeing this improovement in performance by mooving the music to the internal disc? I tried the search function about this, but found nothing either. But I have a vague memory of an old discussion about this situation. That it actually is slower with external HD. I'm also puzzled, if scanning is slower that is understandable with USB drives, and browse by music folder too. Otherwise I think it's a bug or design error. I do think SC is doing some databse stuff everytime you acess a file ? -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55016 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeBox3 slow response
No immediate solution to your issue, but some questions and observations: 1. 3ms ping to Google is false, unless you're physically in their data center :) Something weird is happening with the network stack when it enters this low power mode. 2. What makes you say that the music is still streaming although control doesn't work? Is it just that the music is still playing? That could simply be the buffer on the SB playing out. My suspicion is that the network interface is being shut down - that would explain the lack of SB control and might go someway to explaining the weird ping results. 3. Can you still browse web sites after the timeout? Including ones you haven't got cached? If so, does that raise the power consumption again? -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53686 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Distortion during loud tracks - my amp is too sensitive - what to do?
I've turned off volume control, and RG on my SB3. My marantz SR-45 had a tendancy to distort audio coming from its paired CD player - which I used to address via it's own volume control. Anyway, its evident that my amp is too sensitive for the Sb3 outputs too. The specs for my amp say: Input sensitivity - 185mV/47#8486;. I assume I need to adjust the Preamp Volume Control, but does anyone know how to calculate exactly how much?

Re: [slim] Email support is not very impressive
Looks to me like you abandoned your previous thread. You had two responses that you didn't bother to respond to. You can't just expect people to start crawling out of the woodwork with all sorts of helpful suggestions when you don't bother to respond to those who did at least try to offer up some help - regardless if their attempts at assistance were helpful or not. To get a dialog going on the forums, you have to be an active participant. If this issue is causing you so much grief that you are considering uprooting your system and rolling the dice with another company's higher priced less flexible products, why not put forth the minimal effort required to place a phone call to support before throwing in the towel?Personally I've found email support and even serious sales inquiries via email pretty sketchy from practically all companies these days. FWIW, the one time I had an issue with my squeezebox, I called Logitech support and was met with a friendly helpful crew that got my issue taken care of straight away. -- 86atc250r 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54773 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

? are you sure your not describing your phono input ? The phono one is not suitable for line level sources and also has an equalizing curve (for the pickups used with your gramophone for vinyl) 47Ohm or 47KOhm looks like phono input to me -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55023 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
