Re: [slim] 760 WJR Detroit not Streaming
Because they have changed from using MP3 to AAC which is not supported by Boom when using mysb.com - you need a local SBS server to transcode. Development of new firmware feature for Boom has stopped but for a long time there has not been enough space in the older ip3k based player's firmware for new feature and so AAC format cannot be supported. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79477 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

mark-e-mark;551529 Wrote: Hi Jon. I read your post here and your description on theheals.org with a keen interest in doing the same thing. I have an XP/SP3 server running squeezeserver 7.4. What exactly do I do with the SBstatus folder I downloaded (after unzipping)? I gather that I need to run Windows Media 11 in order to run a UPnP server, but I am looking for slimmer alternatives. Finally, my SB3 sits across the room from us, so I am looking at larger frames. Have you tried any others beside pandigital? I should update the description of the project on my web site as I had to put a fair amount of further work into the project to get it reliable. Namely, I had to create a second program that I run as a Windows Service that constantly monitors connectivity to the frame. It turns out the Pandigital frame is a little flaky over a wireless connection. My service reboots it when it looses connectivity. I also took the frame apart and embedded an IR emitter in it so IR Blaster can send it commands to get through all the menu clicks that are required to navigate to the cover images. To answer your other questions, I ended up spending 30 bucks for Twonky Media Server. I think I tried every UPnP server for Windows that's out there. Twonky worked the best in my opinion. I'm still on version 6.3.1 of Slimserver and have no plans to upgrade. So I'm not sure what the impact would be using a more recent version. I tried no other frames other than the Pandigital, but I suppose any that can access UPnP servers are candidates. You need to find one though that is constantly monitoring the shared folder for changed files. Some don't. I will update the source files and project description on my web site over the next few days. I would be very surprised if anyone else could get them working out of the box. Like I said at the outset, this project was a kluge, and highly tailored to my specific setup.

[slim] Firewall setup for internet radio
How do you setup your router's firewall for Squeezebox internet radio access? My firewall is running a Deny-all strategy. I already have opened ports 3483 and 9000 for outgoing connections. But internet radio station seem to use all kinds of ports. In my firewall's log files, I found references to port numbers from as low as 824 up to 31115. Not opening those station-specific ports results in Connect timed out: Transport endpoint is not connected. messages. Somewhat reluctantly, I guess I could open that whole port range for connections originating at IP addresses assigned to my Squeezebox hardware in the local network. But I definitely would not want to open the same port range for my desktop running SqueezeSlave. So, how should I configure my router's firewall?

Re: [slim] Firewall setup for internet radio
A bit paranoid? There's no predicting what port someone will run a music stream on. Often it's just a plain old http url, but sometimes they will run several ports to increase session count or provide multiple different streams. It would be easiest to allow the SB's to initiate anything they wanted to the outside world: it's not like the older models have enough memory to even think about running spamming software (not to mention it would be tricky to get it on there) and opening sessions started from an 'inside' machine are nowhere near as dangerous as allowing outsiders in... restricting inside machines completel is nigh impossible if they need to be usable: darned near anything can be tunnelled over https, for example, and blocking 443 would cripple most PC usage.

What's the problem with them or is this just the way it is when syncing them? Should I wire one of them to the router? Probably. Your wireless router will say something about how cool it is that it can stream 54Mbps or some such, which is way more than you need... But it leaves out important details: as part of the connection process, both sides monitor the link and adjust according to what they see as noise. And, if there is noise, data gets dropped and has to retransmit... which makes for rebuffering issues. Wireless is a nice idea, and works mostly but is subject to sharing the same channels as everyone else (your neighbor's wireless, baby monitors, intercoms, alarm systems, microwave ovens, tv extenders and all the other junk lives in the same area). There are a couple things you can do: wire as much as you can. Especially make sure the link between your server and the router is wired. Just wiring this one link will cut your usage of the wifi range by 50%. If you can wire the other devices, go for it. You may also want to change your wireless channel on the router: most routers come defaulted to channel 6. Which means most of your neighbors probably left it there and they are on channel 6, too... Try 1 or 11, as far from them as possible so you won't get their data which will seem like just noise to you. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79490 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Help me get 500 ft away from router
I've found incorrectly wired (wrong order) on a couple of sites. Data rate goes to hell - and it's not obvious, right off, what's wrong as, if you use a cable continuity tester, the lights light on both ends. in proper order. BUT ethernet over unshielded twisted pair ONLY works if Rx is on one pair and Tx is on another (doesn't matter which pairs, so long as it's the same on both ends - but they have to actually be -pairs- - the pairs of wires that are twisted around each other). If you're not sure what you're doing, then, by all means, stick to the standard. 568B, as Pat mentions, is a good way to go. If you didn't have your wiring setup this way, I'd suggest crimping on a couple of plugs and testing before looking for shorter routes or cutting cable. As I'd mentioned earlier, I've had a few 400' runs work fine at 10bt full duplex. So if it still doesn't work, I'd still look for a way to force the speed down to 10. This will be plenty fast enough for your squeezebox. -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79140 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
