[slim] Weird networking issue: SB2 v SB3
It was my understanding that the SB2 and SB3 had exactly the same internal hardware, so the following is a bit baffling... I have a wired-only Slim Devices SB2 and a Logitech SB3 (wired & wireless). They are both connected via ethernet to the same network switch. The SB2 was in the kitchen, at the end of a fairly long cable. The SB3 was in my office, close to the switch. Everything works just fine. I decided that it would be better to have the SB3 in the kitchen, so swapped them over. But the SB3 connected in the kitchen (to the same cable that was feeding the SB2 without any issue) keeps rebuffering. A network cable tester shows that the long cable to the kitchen is just fine. (And replacing it isn't simple - it passes through three walls). For now I've swapped them back to their original locations and they are both behaving themselves again. Can anyone think of any reason why an SB3 would have network problems where an SB2 doesn't?

I don't really think it's something I invented because where I deviate from LMS defaults it's either because I follow Apple's (they use alphabetical ordering) or my personal preferences and I used to use alphabet sorting, too, so I wouldn't know why I should have chosen something else as the default. That said: since I do so many new installations I tend to use the default settings in iPeng more and more and I started to find the chronological ordering does make some sense, too, because often you think about early/late albums of an artist when searching for something. The problem for me is just that at least half of my library doesn't have the dates correctly tagged --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I thought the default was "artflow" when I first implemented this (granted, some 7 years ago or so) and while "artflow" is "artist, year, album" for a given artist that obviously translates to "year, album" which is what iPeng uses unless you change that sort setting.

Which LMS version is this?
This sounds like a result of that recent change I made (actually in
9.0.2) to fix missing artwork on some installations.
iPeng now uses a different ID as the default for the artwork ("coverid")
which is supposed to be correct but older server version (with "older"
being older than a few weeks ago) had an issue where the lookup of the
artwork using the coverid only worked the second time.
Michael fixed this in LMS 7.9, not sure about 7.8.1 and 7.7.6 but I'd
think the fix is there, too.

Yep. That's normal. iPeng doesn't want to get shut down in the
background so it's being a good iOS citizen and releases the artwork
from memory when being suspended. This means it need to be re-loaded
from the disc-cache when you return.
The alternative would be to keep it in memory but that increases the
risk of the App being shut down (iOS shuts down the Apps using the most
memory in the background first) and a complete cold-start takes much
longer... Artwork re-loading should be much faster in 9.0.3 than before,
though.

7.9 since 29/11 I'll update and see what happens . The artwork reloading ,never seen that before ? In the older version did it keep the art currently visible in the UI ? If the playlist is very long it's only a small amount that's on the screen at a given time . Your rigth I see that in all views a quick flicker when I get back to the new music or album too . I got the vague feeling that they sort of lingered around a longer time before .

That's indeed a change, need to look up what's happening there. Normally the playlist actually doesn't update (the normal one still doesn't) when you leave the App and return so this shouldn't be. Album lists still clear and refresh because the main menu structure gets refreshed (NowPlaying shouldn't if it's not expired). I think this is probably something happening since 9.0. I had to do a,lot of changes to the state model because on iPad now there are a lot of incidences where the screen format can change while the App is sleeping and NowPlaying is a modal screen which doesn't get notified of everything. Still should not be required. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104537 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
