Re: [slim] Family now hate the Jogglers.

2021-05-27 Thread Paul Webster


I found the older release (not helpful since I do not remember which one
it was) to be more stable and have stuck with it.
I do have to reboot them every now and then ... perhaps monthly ...
which might be related to the SqueezePlay number overflow issue.

2 of them (bathroom and kitchen) are used daily.

I just had a quick look at the birdslikewires site and did not find the
old release. My copy is on a USB stick that I pop into a new (to me)
Joggler when it arrives. Recently provided 2 to another household in the
family.

Re: [slim] Scanner.exe error again after several years

2021-05-27 Thread Michael Herger

I recently upgraded LMS to the latest release, 8.1.1 from 7.7.6. I am
getting that annoying 'scanner.exe error message about every 10 minutes
when LMS is running. Is the only solution to this is downgrade to an
earlier version??


Two questions arise:

- why would the scanner run every 10 minutes?

- why does the scanner crash?

Please check your scanner.log file for any trace about the failure. What 
exact error message do you get when the scanner crashes?


And are you using any kind of automated scan?

Re: [slim] Family now hate the Jogglers.

2021-05-27 Thread Tim Požar

I looked at the Jogglers and found this page...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O2_Joggler

This looks almost exactly like a Raspberry Pi with the standard 7" touch 
screen.  I have put boxes like this together and run PiCore. You can see 
my post about that construction at:

Sometimes the display is just very unresponsive. Sometimes connecting to
the server is irratic. Often, the jogglers will just crash. Sometimes
with a frozen screen, but most often back to the command prompt.

They are both running Ubuntu 18.04.4 with nothing installed except
Squeezeplay (https://birdslikewires.net/debian-for-openframe).

The OS is running from a mini USB stick on both Jogglers. I have tried
different USB sticks, so I don't think that there's a problem there.

When playing music, they seem to crash every few minutes. Maybe between
5 and 30 minutes sessions.

The Joggler seems to get fairly warm, but not what you'd describe as
'hot'.

Is there anything I can do, or is it just the sign of ageing tech that
needs to be retired?

I've heard Jivelite recommended, but a quick attempt with that left the
device seemingly unable to find the server. I'm not sure if there are
settings that need to be changed somewhere to sort that.

Do any of you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Damian

Re: [slim] New life into an old smart radio

2021-05-27 Thread Bassman


On occasion, on the built-in WiFi, I would get "waiting to connect' when
trying to sync the Radio to a Boom.

There is a bit of a disco light show at night from the Vonets. I read
where people pull it apart to tape over the LEDs. I'm sort of burying
it, behind the Radio, in all the cabling, so it's more of a glow and not
a glare.

21 days. No reboots. Everything connects and syncs just fine.
