[slim] Remote works intermittently
I've got an 4 SB3's (vintage!) one of which has is sporadic in taking instruction from its remote. I've done a bit of testing with it and noticed that 1) if I take the remote to one of the other SB3s, it works fine (so the issue appears to be with that SB3, rather than the remote control). The other thing is that when I first fire up the server in the morning, it all works fine. It appears that the problem happens only after the server's been running for awhile, typically from early evening onward. Very strange. Can anyone offer up an explanation -- and, better yet, a solution -- for this. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: [slim] Choppy info browser feed - how to fix?!
I've had a bit of a fool around with this and realised that after having changed the scroll settings (under, Settings, Player, [name of player], Display), nothing actually changes. Even if I alter between the maximum and minimum values for Scroll Rate, Scroll Pause or Scroll Pixels, the player doesn't alter how it streams at all (unlike in the past). I'm hoping this would offer some clue as to what's wrong.

[slim] Choppy info browser feed - how to fix?!
Hi, Some time ago, I encountered much the same problem, whereby my info browser feed became choppy. I recently shifted from Ubuntu to Windows Home Server (WHS) after a hiatus (had some probs getting my server to sync, so made the switch). Anyway, on reinstalling everything I encounted the issue again and returned to the solution that resolved it (see here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47795). Unfortunately, this time, the revised settings don't seem to improve matters. Has anyone else found a solution, so I can get back to a smooth scroll?!

[slim] SB3 display cycling through brightness settings
hi all, For some reason the display on my SB3 is cycling from bright to unlit in a continual loop. I thought it might be something to do with when the unit scans the library, but its not.

It could be an option for you but depends on whether you are using your MiniITX box for anything over and above, email, internet etc. Hmmm.

Re: [slim] hourly consumption of bandwidth using internet radio?
A shame to hear the UK's steadily intro'd bandwidth limits. I had unltd with a fair use policy when I was there. Fair use is no doubt unsettling as it can be arbitrary, but I'd actually prefer that approach more than the cut-and-dry (and expensive!) cap as it means you're not watching the clock every month. This assumes the ISP gets that if they're too petty about interpreting it they'll suffer a backlash. As I say this, I realise that few ISPs seem to care about such things...but you can always hope. In Australia I'm on an ASDL plan that offers 2gb for A$30 (US$25) a month. The highest allowance is 15gb for A$100, so you can see how out of bounds something like the 250gb limit would be, Goodsounds! -- Gus Gus - Squeezebox v3 Firmware: 101 running SC 7.1 Ubuntu 8.04 Mini-ITX J7F2WE2G Motherboard Router - WRT54G Gus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52316 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] hourly consumption of bandwidth using internet radio?
I live in a place where unltd broadband isn't available - usage is typically limited and pretty expensive (relative to North America, Britain and France). As a result I've got a 2gig allowance from my ISP each month. Can anyone give me an idea of how much of this allowance I'd burn an hour on a 128 or 192 kbps stream. While no doubt it's simple maths, I'm not really sure what the calculation is - and we're early in the month and I'd hate to get it wrong and use up all my allocation.
