izzym;415514 Wrote: I've had a squeezebox 3 since Christmas. I use it almost all the time as an internet radio player through the squeezenetwork (ie, the computer is usually turned off, or not running squeezecenter). My wireless router is connected via a FIOS fiber optic connection up to the side of the house...I can stream full screen video with NO problems, so I know my connection is not the problem. Aside from the annoying buffering, this thing fails to respond to the remote FAR too often...20% to 30% of the time. Either it's WAY too slow to accept a command (several seconds go by ... what's it doing??) or it doesn't accept it at all. I have to physically unplug the SB to reset the damn thing. It loses the connection far too often, and won't respond to on/off commands, or the hold-down left button. Coming from a remote control mfr., I fund this intolerable. It's just way too flaky a unit for dependable operation. Is there any way to remedy this? To rule out network or server issues, try navigating the firmware setup menu. Just use the up and down arrows within a menu. If the setup menu is responsive then you can be certain that the IR hardware is OK, otherwise it is certainly defective. Also note that an IR issue would _not_ cause delays, only lost commands. If it's not the IR then it must be either a network or a server-side issue. There are possible network problems besides bandwidth that could be at fault, for example an IP conflict or bridging loop. Also, successfully streaming video is not evidence of a low-latency, low-packet-loss link. Those problems can be masked by sufficient buffering, while still causing problems for interactive traffic. Try running a ping and see if there is loss or delay that happens concurrently with the UI lag. The server software could be bogged down for some reason. A good way to test that is to connect directly to Squeezenetwork instead. If SN is faster over the internet than your local system, then you've probably narrowed it down to the server. It could be hurting for RAM or could be busy scanning the disk for some reason (it's done scanning your library, right?). Running Squeezecenter on another computer would be a good test. Our phone support is very experienced with this kind of troubleshooting. You should try them next if none of the above helps. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62422 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] why is the sb3 remote SO unreliable?
izzym;415514 Wrote: Aside from the annoying buffering, this thing fails to respond to the remote FAR too often... That implies to me that it is a network reliability issue. The usage of a slim device is different than a PC: PC's usually have tons of RAM to buffer things, so a short dropout on a wireless network just means a short dropout on keeping the buffer full.. there is still plenty there to play stuff. With less memory, though, you're more likely to run out of buffered data and that means sound dropouts. If the network drops, the SB can not send back the I hit volume notice to the server... it gets held up by other data that is destined for the server. You may want to check The Usual Suspects: 1) Make sure your router is running current firmware. Some nasty bugs have been fixed in routers that affect their reliability. (And if it's two years old and has no upgrades.. your router maker sucks and doesn't maintain their products... like mine.) 2) Use NetStumbler or similar tools to find what networks are near you: if your neighbor starts his BitTorrent client and snarfs pr0n all evening and is on the same channel, or even a 'nearby' channel, his traffic will look like noise to your connection. Because the frequency range of 802.11g is pretty narrow, there are really only 3 channels: 1,6 and 11. The rest overlap. Since most routers in North America come set to channel 6, 1 or 11 may be less noisy. 3) Built into SC is a network bandwidth test... it just floods the SB with data (which is ignored) and sees how much data it can send before the network starts falling apart. It shouldn't fall apart at all, but other issues (lots of metal or thick brick walls, microwaves, cordless phones, etc) can affect it. If you can run it wired, go for it: 802.11g is unlicensed airspace for the simple reason that it sucks and businesses didn't want it. All sorts of devices leak noise into that area (like Microwave ovens) and since it's unregulated... more devices sit there making it worse. (Think of what would happen if the FCC didn't tell radio stations what frequency to use, just find something free in the AM band, and you'll be fine! Which would often work, but at night when the atmosphere reflects more radio waves back to earth... that station 500 miles away would make your local station unlistenable.) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62422 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You might have found if not a bug, then an inconsistency between SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork, Chris.

Re: [slim] Is my SB3 dead?
I'd try a full reboot first (computer, player, router). If that doesn't fix it I'd try a Factory Reset: Unplug power, press and hold down the add (+) button on the remote, plug power back in (whilst continuing to hold down the add button) + = factory reset Note: Factory Reset requires you re-load your players Firmware (hold Brightness button after the player completely re-boots) And if that doesn't work I'd try a Xilinx Chip Reset: Unplug power, press and hold down the one (1) button on the remote, plug power back in (whilst continuing to hold down the one button) 1 = Xilinx EDIT: Or just read Millwood's referenced wiki. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62440 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Although I also generally have an aesthetic preference lowercase am/pm, I do like the fact that I can look at a switched off SB and know immediately whether it is connected to SC or SN. So it's not necessarily an inconsistency if it is relaying useful information about the state of the SB. The Boom even takes it a step further, telling you when it is not connected to either SC or SN. In that case the Boom's real time clock displays uppercase AM/PM, and also lights up its front panel buttons. These SB signals actually saved me a lot of running up and down the stairs when I was sorting out problems getting my SC server to automatically suspend to SN using the SrvrPowerCtrl plugin. Now it serves as an easy confirmation that the plugin and the server are doing what they are supposed to do. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62439 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It's an easy way for the observant user to determine whether the Squeezebox is on SN or a local server. If you're using Mac OS or Linux/Unix, you can edit a .pm file (Slim/Utils/DateTime.pm) to add a lowercase time format.

[slim] Recent Re-buffering problem
I am used to my SB3 petulently giving way to the microwave occassionaly but, in the last few days, with no microwave on, the music keeps stopping. The display says re-buffering and shows the growing percentage. Music resumes and then stops again. It is 'almost' making me want to go back to CDs. The worst time is when you are demonstrating the remarkable SB3 to friends, only to see it stutter and stop yet again. Occassionaly I can fix it bt removing the power cord from the back and re-booting but the problem inevitably returns. Can anyone assist with a fix for this? I am using a Belkin wireless router modem based on the 802.11n draft- about 6 months old. It is in an upstairs bedroom with only a wooden mezzanine floor to transmit through.I also have the latest release squeezecenter software (not beta).

Re: [slim] Recent Re-buffering problem
Well, I'll just throw this out there because it just goes to show that really weird stuff can happen with wireless networking. A few weeks ago I started having a problem where my entire network would go down every time SC was doing something resource intensive (scanning new music, mostly). Around the same time, my Boom in the kitchen started stopping constantly. It got to where I could not get through one full song without it stopping--and this is with MP3 so it's not a lot of bandwidth. Every time it stopped, I noticed that the entire network was going down for several minutes. But it only happened with the kitchen player and not my other players. To troubleshoot, I swapped in a different router temporarily (after trying it wired and still having trouble). All the problems went away with the other router, but that was with no security. So I went back to my original router but turned off security. Everything worked fine. Well, I wanted to keep my router but didn't want to run with no security, so I changed the security from WPA Personal to WPA / WPA2 Personal. I don't even know what that means, but everything has been working fine ever since with no more network outages and no Boom stuttering. The security settings had not been touched in over a year--it just went haywire out of the blue like that. Can I say haywire when it's wireless? -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62450 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
