Like this? 1: cable modem (utility room) -> D-Link (kitchen) -> Linksys (another room) Or like this? 2: cable modem (utility room) -> Linksys (another room) -> D-Link (kitchen) Ideally what you want is everything on one subnet. So you don't want two routers. If #1 above is correct, then it sounds like you don't need a router in this room. If you need to connect multiple wired PCs and devices then you only need a network switch in this room. (If there's only a single device, you could just run an ethernet cable from the D-Link located in the kitchen.) If #2 is correct then you want to use the D-Link only as a wireless access point and not a router. To do that: - Use the Linksys as your DHCP server. Disable the DHCP server in the D-Link. - Connect the D-Link to the Linksys by connecting between one its LAN ports (not the WLAN or 'Internet' port) to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys. The D-Link should end up with a 192.168.0.x address and everything attached to it should also. You may want to give the Linksys a static IP address in its configuration so that you can always find it easily. If the D-Link is 192.168.0.1, try using 192.168.0.2 for the Linksys, which will most likely be outside of the DHCP address pool being assigned dynamically. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78172 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Networking
What are you trying to accomplish with the two routers? Sounds like an attempt at isolating the wifi network for security purposes. In your configuration (assuming default router setups), devices on the .1 network should be able to contact those on the .0 network with no problem. But those on the .0 network will be blocked from contacting anything on the .1 network. Devices on the .0 network would be considered "outside" by the Linksys router, and treated as though they were on the Internet and potentially hostile. If the Linksys permits it, you could perhaps open up a hole in the router's firewall permitting all traffic to/from the IP address of the SB3 on .0 network. That will allow the SB3 to 'see' the internal network, but I doubt that Squeezebox/Server discovery will work across the subnets. Most likely, you'd have to configure the server address manually on the SB3. If you're not trying some kind of funky security thing with the two routers, then you could just eliminate the Linksys and place everything on the D-Link. If you really must used two devices for logistical reasons, then the thing you might do is place the D-Link behind the Linksys and truly configure the D-Link as a wireless access point, where it and its wifi devices are on the same subnet as devices connected to the Linksys.

[slim] Networking
I have been a SB3 user for several years with few issues until today when I had to reset my router. Now I have problem. I have searched forums and found similar issues but either I don't fully understand the proper fix or the issue isn't exactly the same. Anyway here is the issue: I have a cable modem connected to a wireless Dlink router (basically set up as an access point). This Dlink is connected to an SB3 as well as another router (Linksys). The Linksys is connected to my computer and a second SB3. The second SB3 works fine, but the one connected to the Dlink is not working. When I try to set up the non functional SB3 I can get an ip address, but it will not connect to the network. FYI the ip address of the Dlink is 192.168.0.1.

Re: [slim] SqueezeBox control app for Palm webOS devices
Yes, I noticed they tend to change stuff. Even from 7.4.2 to 7.5, I had to make a change to account for some minor difference. Let's hope that they're least moving towards a more consistent and logical layout. The only test I did with MySB was to just point my app to it to see if worked, it didn't. I haven't really looked at what I'm getting back from MySB. Writing the app pretty much zapped a month of my life, and I'm a little burned out with it.

A script would be the good way to do it, but I've done this using mp3tag's "actions". mp3tag is excellent Windows freeware from www.mp3tag.de (be sure to get the one from the .de site, as there is another program with the same name that is not as good.

But a few days later I get this error message again, and now it does not help to do everything from the beginning again, including to clear all preferences and cache. I have also tried the /#slim:noscan=1 setting, but no difference. (When it used to work I did not use this addition.) /Erik -- Erik L Erik L's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37356 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64590 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What do you do with CD inserts?
I use jewelsleeves and stackable 3 drawer cabinets. Each holds about 1000 CDs, and the sleeve holds both front and back of CD insert with no cutting. ditto, on not doing anything with the cardboard/special CD packages. Yes, harder to find CD, but hopefully, I'll NEVER need to find given that I've ripped to FLAC and have lots of backups of my data. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78107 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezeplay full screen
Find the line Code: jiveMain:registerSkin(self:string("DESKTOP_SKIN"), 'FullscreenSkin', 'skin') in the file -FullscreenSkinMeta.lua- and uncomment it. Be warned though that it is disabled for a reason. For example, the Now Playing screen doesn't work, which makes the skin mostly useless. But you are welcome to roll up your sleeves and fix it. ;) -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76548 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SBS & iTunes integration on a ReadyNAS

Could you expand on how you configured iTunes to now expect to find its database files on your ReadyNAS media share? 2. Having reconfigured things in this way, are you still able to use iTunes to successfully rip a CD and store the output in your iTunes library? Geoff -- Tradewind25 Geoff J.

Re: [slim] SBS & iTunes integration on a ReadyNAS
I've got a readynas duo set-up that I recently added a squeezebox duet and radio to. I was previously using xbmc but decided I wanted rid of the big ugly xbox in my lounge and to get a more usable controller (XBMC is brilliant though!). I have all my mp3s in a music folder under the media share on my ReadyNAS. I copied my itunes library files (there are a few - iTunes Library .itl/.xml and the itdb files for extras/genius) into the music folder as well. The next time I launched itunes I held down option (alt on windows) and pointed itunes to the new library location. (from memory I had to remove the music tracks and rescan in the music from the new location - it was a long time ago that I did this part) this basically means that your music and itunes library are now held on your NAS which means SBS can see them both. When you set-up squeezebox server you need to activate the itunes plugin and then go to the settings page for this. you need to : check Use iTunes empty the ignored playlists section (at least for the types of playlist you want to include) point it to your library location Point it to where your media is (my music folder) if you want, set a prefix for your imported itunes playlists Additionally, you need to set how long SBS waits before it rescans your itunes library after it changes. I've left mine at the default of 3600 seconds for the meantime. When you click apply the scanner will start and a few minuted later you'll be able to see progress on the information page. What I found wasn't working was saving playlists I created on my squeezebox - they appeared to save but basically went into a black hole. I appear to have fixed this by going to the Basic Settings page and entering a location for playlists (I set it to /media/Music/Playlists). They now seem to be working fine! I've only had this setup for a week or two so I'm sure I'll find some oddities over time but so far so good. I've attached some screenshots of my settings.

I'd expect to see sync work better using wasapi. I've also made a few changes to the slimprotocol handling that should help in this area as well. Adding -H to your command line options should improve sync even a bit more.

Re: [slim] SqueezeBox control app for Palm webOS devices
I'm guessing the part you don't understand are the 'plus' buttons and the down arrow buttons. The plus buttons adds the item to the playlist. The down arrows opens a drawer under the item to show other options for the item. Basically the same as pressing the plus key on a SB Controller. The 'plus' buttons with a little down arrow combines the two functions. A tap adds to the playlist. Tap and hold opens the drawer. -- wt0 wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78131 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
