Re: [slim] Thank You Slimdevices / Logitech Community
One more post of praise for SD/Logi: My old DVR died on me last week and the replacement I got was a bit of an upgrade. The two ethernet ports on the back caught my eye. After a little internet searching I found out that they are functional and what I can use them for. Dug up my crossover cable and plugged it into the DVR and SB3 sitting on top of my DVR. It took me awhile to figure out how to enable bridging (it's in the setup stupid!) and once I got it everything works like it should. I knew the bridging feature was a good design choice and could be very handy. Now I know how handy it is! -- 4mula1 SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 + Solaris 10 x86: Because everything else would've been easy!

Same story here. When I bought my mom an SB3 I picked up a Linksys WRT54G. What I needed was an AP+switch, not a router.

Re: [slim] NAS vs Silent PC
I bought a second hand Intel Mac Mini (1.5GHz Core Solo) on eBay for about £200 a year ago. Although I've upgraded the processor and memory subsequently, that's for other purposes; it was fine for Squeezecentre in its base state. Music is stored on two external drives, one 2.5 which is USB powered, the other (usually off) 3.5 and mains powered as a duplicate backup. I don't think I could have done it any cheaper by using a NAS or building my own Mini ITX thing, though I'd prefer not to be using external drives all the time because I'm sure they'll fail.

Re: [slim] NAS vs Silent PC
This question comes up so often it should probably have its own forum, and every time it does, comments that focus solely on Slim/Squeeze miss the point of when and why a NAS makes sense. If the only thing of interest to a user is running SqueezeCenter and serving up a few thousand music tracks, a NAS probably isn't really necessary. But to those who have other things going on in their lives, a NAS can, and often does, make sense. I have yet to see a small, low-power PC that has four (or more) hot-swap drive bays and a footprint of less than 70 square inches (450 square cm). With five full-time PCs in the house, plus occasional come-and-go laptops, a central networked file server that has plenty of capacity and is painlessly expandable makes sense for accessible, redundant storage of data, including massive amounts of not only music, but photos, video, business and financial documents, software, and everything else. It can host nightly backups of all the computers, and then itself be backed up either on- or offsite, weekly (or whatever other schedule is suitable). The fact that it can also do duty as a music server is a side benefit, not its primary function. It's primarily a storage server (hence the name), and when not viewed through the narrow lens of SqueezeCenter-only it can, for some households, be an excellent option. For others, of course, it is completely unnecessary. But just saying a NAS is stupid doesn't really do justice to the topic. It's like saying a pickup truck is stupid just because you happen to live in a condo in the city. Not everybody has the same needs, interests, skills or experience, and what makes no sense for some might make very good sense for others. -- Dogberry2 Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58489 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Configuring a wireless router as an access point
Here's what you need to do next: Using a pc or laptop that is connected to the lan port on your router/ap find the Gateway address. To find it assuming your using windows - Start, Run, type CMD and enter. In the Command prompt window type: ipconfig /all and enter. Open an internet browser (IE, Firefox) and type in the address that showed as Gateway. Now you should have a login page for configuring your router/AP. The login and password should be in the manual that came with the router or on the Manufacturers support site. The support documentation will also be needed for the next step. You need to find the dhcp server and turn it off. You also need to find the WAN/Internet page and give your device an address. The address should only have one set of numbers that is different from the ones you got from ipconfig. So if as an example you got: address 192.168.0.100 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.256 DNS 192.168.0.256 Set the address of your AP as 192.168.0.(any number between 2 and 99) Once you have saved everything type the new address of your AP into your browser and save it as a bookmark/favorite, just in case you need to change any wireless settings down the road. -- tedfroop Good judgement is the result of experience ...

This could be as simple as needing a crossover cable. It looks like you're using a standard patch cable to connect one router to another, which may or may not work, depending on whether either of the routers have autosensing ethernet ports. The ports on a ethernet hub or switch are wired differently that a PC network card or your Squeezebox so that the send and receive pins are matched up when using a standard patch cable. When you have two devices that are wired the same, like two routers, you need a crossover cable, a special cable that makes the pin swap for you. There is still no need to configure your new router as a router. Make sure it has a unique IP address outside of the range your DHCP server hands out, and disable DHCP on it. There is still the issue of the crossover cable above. -- 4mula1 SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 + Solaris 10 x86: Because everything else would've been easy!

They can say no or they can just ignore it, but you'll never know unless you file it, and they may never know either. Before you write a bug, though: - make sure you're running the latest version. I see 7.3.2 was released today, please install that. It would be even better if you installed the latest nightly, but since 7.3.2 was just released, the latest nightly won't be any different - though that will change as the days progress. - temporarily disable all third party plugins. These have bugs of their own, you need to isolate the problem to the core code first. - make sure it's reproducible and document exactly what you need to do in order to get this to happen. - make sure it's not due to misconfiguration on your part. - make sure it's not new, intended behaviour. Doesn't sound like it to me. - search for an existing bug first! Don't create a duplicate. - don't take it personally if the developers seem to ignore it, change its priority to minor, etc. At least it's there, what they do with it is dictated by their free time, needs and (yes) interest. I'm not a developer, but picture what it is they do when faced with a bug list (currently numbered just over ten thousand!) They do look at each and every new one and look for a duplicate. It wastes a bit of time if it's a duplicate. They look to see if the issue was solved by a recent update, this can waste time as well. Then they'll try to reproduce it on their end. If it turns out to be a misconfiguration error on the part of the bug reporter, this wastes a LOT of time. If they can't reproduce it, they may need log info from you. If they can reproduce it, it gets prioritized. If it's a quick fix, even a minor issue may get solved immediately. If it's more complicated than that, it'll get looked at in sequence according to its priority. And yes, some minor things do get left for quite some time - there are finite resources and other (perhaps much more important) bugs to work on, as well as new features.

Re: [slim] Slightly OT: Idea for an iPhone Universal Remote
I am working on an SB On/Off and volume control plugin for the Denon AVP via Ethernet, but there aren't many systems that can communicate in this manner. I plan on using iPeng with this plugin so I can control my AVP with the iPod Touch and the songs with iPeng. I still have to learn Perl a bit more too :-( -- Aesculus Chris Aesculus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14876 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58570 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Transporter:Flickering Pixel in both Displays, depending on Dimm-State
@ jose : Thanks for the tip !! My thoughts about the problem are going in the same direction. I will call Logitech-Support, because of the warranty time (2 years or 3 years). Then i will decide, what I do. @seanadams : I have made some ScreenShots, in the attachement. The pixels are not always there, e.g. when i power on or connect to squeezecenter. But they´re always at now play.., or normal titel screen. If i go in an other menu (e.g. Artist browse), they are gone. It makes also an difference, if the Trannsporter is playing music or not. The pixels are get flickering in different frequency, depending on play or pause. Screen_2 is a little bit shaky. It is only 1 pixel ! +---+ |Filename: Screen_2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6796| +---+ -- A.D.B.
