Re: [slim] What are people using for Bathroom control ?
The wall mounted link above is very smart and the idea for news scrolling is an extra great addition but not sure how he controls this. There is no details on remote, why do you say the SB classic would be easier to waterproof control. This installation uses the original Squeezebox, which is similar to the Squeezebox Classic internally. Both use a simple IR remote. I meant that this remote would be easier to waterproof as its not touchscreen, or there are waterproof universal remotes available as Chrisla mentioned.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
I'm not saying there isn't a real problem here. However, it still seems like the vast majority of people (me, for example) have not experienced this problem at all, so I just want to remind people that nothing changed in my system is not equivalent to nothing changed. Two things come to mind: one is a change in wireless interference due to, for example, neighbors' routers, new cell phone towers, a router failing, etc. Another possibility is that the newer builds are slightly more server intensive and those with weaker/overburdened servers are starting to see issues. Again, I'm not saying there isn't a problem for sure, but there seems to be an assumption in this thread that there's something majorly wrong with 7.3.3 and 7.3.4 so I wanted to point out that there is fairly strong evidence against this assumption because most people (the silent majority) seem to have no problems at all, or otherwise there would be a deluge of complaints. -- lanierb lanierb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
In my system the problem is limited to the Boom. I can play music for days on the SB3 without it rebuffering connected to the same access point. When the Boom eventually goes to rebuffering failed and locks up. Then the signal strength drops from 98% to 12% on the server information page. The SB3 maintains an average strength of 71%. I set up a test playlist with 1600 tracks in it and it failed at the 243rd track. I uninstalled 7.4, deleted the cache log and prefs files from the folder tree for both the 7.4 and 7.3.x versions of the server (they use different folder paths), and reinstalled, and was able to repeat the same issue. I'll repeat the same experiment with 7.2.1 and see if it is an issue with the Boom or the server. I'm a semi-professional beta tester, since a Motorcycle accident stopped me from working, current projects include CalMAN ISF calibration beta since version 2.1 (software and hardware) iPeng iPhone Squeezecentre controller application since the first version Radiance XD video processor since the first manufacturing batch Content delivery application on iPhone for UK mobile phone service provider (carrier). I'm well versed in isolating and reproducing bugs and there does appear to be an issue. In my case it might be the Boom in which case I'll be on to Logitech support, but I suspect it is a firmware/software issue. I use several other wireless devices, including streaming of video over WiFi none of which have been affected, and as mentioned earlier in this thread my property was built in 2002. Due to UK building regulations the insulation is foil backed and I get NO mobile phone signal inside the building, and my cordless and wireless devices get no signal outside. I am fairly confident that there have been no environmental changes. Just because you don't suffer from the issue doesn't mean it isn't there. I'll do my best to isolate it, and when I do, I'll provide Logitech with as much information as I'm able.

Why not keep all three? You do have two bedrooms, and I assume a kitchen, a living room (or are these together). Do you have existing stereo(s)? If so, where? I have my Boom currently in the kitchen, but would also like in the bedroom. Plus, when I spend much time in the garage, I'll take it out there.

By Duet, do you mean the handheld controller? I'm assuming so since you said you will sell your receiver. The handheld controller (SBC) displays artwork, artist/title/album, and a progress bar similar to what you would see on just about any mp3 player. The receiver commonly sells for $150 brand new.

Re: [slim] Synching SB1 with SB2/SB3. Limits?
sander;444587 Wrote: I bought a used sb1 on craigslist and eventually gave up due to syncing problems. As I understand it the fundamental issue is whether your server stalls at all. Squeezecenter is single threaded and any hiccup which would be find for modern (sb2 type) players will hang up the Sb1. For me it became to much to deal with and I was lucky enough to find used SB3 on craigslist (for $5 more than the Sb1!) so I gave up. Well the SB1 has a tiny buffer, so, yes, if there are interference problems on a wireless network, or large cpu/disk spikes on the machine running SC, the SB1 would be much more likely to 'stall' than a later model with more memory devoted to buffering. Not really a sync issue, though: those sorts of dropouts would be more likely on an SB1 even if it was the sole player. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66071 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] mp3 tagging problem
I guess restoring the files from your backup isn't an option? If so, you'll have to do it the hard way. Post on the mp3tag forums for advice on how to use bits of your filename/folder structure to tag your fiels, if that applies. e.g. my folders are organised artist\album\track number-title.m4a Queen\News of the world\01-we will rock you.m4a so I could extract that info to create new tags. mp3tag can also look up tags from the web, again details on mp3tag forum. And back your files up! Number one rule in big tagging operations. -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 dBpoweramp Reference 13.1 SqueezeCenter 7.4 24614 Squeezebox 3 ears moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66126 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Rebuffering is ruining the Squeezebox experience
lanierb;444584 Wrote: Again, I'm not saying there isn't a problem for sure, but there seems to be an assumption in this thread that there's something majorly wrong with 7.3.3 and 7.3.4 so I wanted to point out that there is fairly strong evidence against this assumption because most people (the silent majority) seem to have no problems at all, or otherwise there would be a deluge of complaints. IMHO, the absence of complaints is not sufficient evidence to conclude there is no problem. I'd agree that the silent majority probably aren't affected, but then the majority of users probably don't stream FLAC, and the problem being discussed here is isolated to high bitrate files. I think it's pointless to debate if there are sufficient incidences to warrant action; there is a bug report, and if enough people vote for it then attention will be paid. So far, there are only 5 votes, and that just ain't enough to get the issue addressed.

It's just one way that paid Logitech coders and volunteer coders may assess a bug's credibility and/or severity. Plenty of people stream FLAC all the time to a Boom (myself included) over wireless. The OP's problem is surely real, but to leap to the assumption that it is a firmware issue is better left to people who have actually worked with the firmware.

[slim] Poor Quality Internet
I like to bring my Boom and SBR with me when we visit the parents, problem is their high speed internet isn't very fast or reliable. Both Rhapsody and Pandora require re-buffering frequently enough to make them unlistenable for more than a song or so. I've connected the Boom via ethernet (to rule out flaky WiFi issues,) confirmed there are no other devices eating up bandwidth, and still have problems with both Pandora and Rhapsody. To me, this indicates poor internet service. This same setup works fine at my house, on an 18 Mbps connection. When I go to speedtest.net, the numbers vary from test-to-test, but I seem to generally get: Ping = 70 - 100 ms (although once it came back at 1200 ms) Download = 0.7 - 0.9 Mbps Upload = 0.12 Mbps So my questions: - Is it unreasonable to expect to maintain a 192 kbps stream on such a connection? - How does the ping latency come into play? - Is there anything I can do from my end, without complaining to the ISP? I've tried increasing the Radio Station Buffer in SqueezeCenter, but it seems to have no effect. It doesn't even seem to buffer the amount I set it to. (Example, I can set it to buffer 15 seconds, and still experience 2 drop outs in a 10 second span of time.) Any ideas or suggestions for improving this are much appreciated. (BTW, streaming local stuff works fine.)

Re: [slim] PDA controller solution
Hi all, I recently started using SqueezeBox, and am not able to get the SlimControl to connect to my server. Here's my setup: Squeezebox Server 7.3.3 is running on Ubuntu Server 8.04. Clients are all the SoftSqueeze Java-based client, and they are working correctly. I have 3 PC's successfully sync'ed together. For my remote, I am using an IPAQ hx2795b with Windows Mobile 5.0 (OS 5.1.1702 build 14366.1.0.1). I have the newest version of the remote software. I am able to put in the IP of my server, hit Test, and it says that it successfully sees my server. When I am at the main screen, the top status bar just says Connecting to (ip of my server) indefinitely. The green connection icon to its' right is lit. Any suggestions on what I can try to get it going?
