Re: [slim] VBR mp3
Thanks Andy. My real, poorly stated question was - should I expect it to work in 7.4, and how well. I think you've said that it should, so I'll keep using it and open a bug if I have a problem. The thing that I was seeing in 7.3 was that I'd play maybe an hour into a long track, and when I paused, it would restart nowhere near were it had paused. And when I tried to find a spot whose time I knew (say 1 hour into a 2 hour track) I would wind up someplace else. I have not seen that in 7.4, but that's very preliminary. (These long tracks, if you're curious, are ripped from a good rtsp stream from WBAA and converted to mp3 by lame.) And finally - they do show up in more info as CBR.

Re: [slim] SB3 can not connect to 2nd router when using 2 routers
Don't quite understand your wiring. What is the net socket. And where are you plugging the other end of that wire into the linksys. The correct way to use a router (linksys) as an access-point and switch is to. 1. Give it an address on the network implemented by the router that is different from the router and NOT in the router DHCP range. xxx.xxx.xxx.2 is a standard choice. 2. Turn off DHCP. 3. Set its wireless config the same as the router - with either the same or a different channel. I use different channel. 4. Connect an ether net wire from one of the lan ports on the router to one of the lan ports on the AP. The AP Wan port MUST NOT BE USED. You should be able to reach the config pages of the AP by using the address you gave it during the set up. -- Millwood 2 SB3, 1 Duet Debian Etch server 2 AP (netgear, linksys) wireless network.

Re: [slim] Help! SB3 drops out...Router Issue?
Superstition The SB wireless units, and particularly the controller, do not play well in a mixed B-G network where B devices come and go, thus switching the network from G to mixed. I can't prove this, but in my case I can reproduce the controller going off the net for a few minutes anytime I turn my B laptop on. I've gone back to B only, which is in fact good enough for my purposes. In some of my earlier flailing, I had an SB3 that would go off the net in the sense that it was associated, according to it and the router, but could not be pinged and could not communicate. This was with a Linksys WRT110. I haven't seen it with the replacement Netgear 824.

Re: [slim] Warning: Linksys WRT110 Rangeplus Wireless Router Squeezebox
I've learned something that might be useful. After returning the WRT110, I reinstalled my failing? WRT54G. It behaved similarly. In reading the Tomoto (alternate firmware - I'm not using it - I run the latest linksys) it suggested two things. 1. Don't run in B only mode if there are G devices around. 2. Don't enable frame burst (a WRT54G option) if you have more than 3 wireless devices. Changing both, I got much better behavior. Still wide power variation, but lowest not as bad. I've now installed a Netgear WPN824V3, which seems to work somewhat better maybe??? It doesn't have a frame burst option, by the way. I way maybe??? because although the power is more stable, my max speeds are down I think.

Re: [slim] Warning: Linksys WRT110 Rangeplus Wireless Router Squeezebox
I returned the WRT110 before learning of the frame burst issue. Also, I have 2 SB3, a receiver, a controller, and 2 wireless computers on the network, and the issue may be multiple stations. So far, the Netgear 824 seems OK but not much better than my old WRT54G, which is now working again. I can get 2000kb reliable running G on a station with 70% signal strength. What I do see is more stable signal strength over time, although still lots of swing. The above, in a few hours, sees a high of 90% and a low of 66%. As an aside, if I were working your network software, which I am not competent to do without more learning than I have time for, I'd very carefully review the lost packet protocol to make sure it was really robust in the face of transient burst errors in the network.

Re: [slim] Warning: Linksys WRT110 Rangeplus Wireless Router Squeezebox
I just got a WRT110 - didn't search the forum first :-( I'm seeing a reconnect failure with my SB3 - something I used to see but not in a long while with my now dead WRT54G The SB3 gets into a state in which its screen is blank. If you press power on, it says trying to wake up squeezecenter, trying to connect to squeezecenter and then goes blank again. It can't be pinged. If you hold down the power button, it restarts, reconnects, and works. Also - at the moment I'm running in B-only mode. I have a laptop with a B only card, and B is good enough. I am not yet sure if this only happens when the router restarts or by itself. I've been playing with config and so restarting the router a lot. Whatever the problem with the WRT110, it would be nice if the SB3 saw that it wasn't talking to the network and tried to reconnect. (I'm running the router B-only since I have a B-only laptop. But I think I had more trouble in B-G mode). Firmware is 1.0.04 build 10 (sic).

[slim] Lobby for full menu entry in controller
See http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8217 Once you customize the controller main menu, it's a real pain to get to any entries which are not shown and are not in the settings sub-tree. You have to change the customization to show the entry, then use it, then hide it again. And you have to navigate the sort of flat home menu list to get to it - twice. My proposal is that instead of forcing the home menu to contain settings (which is of course done to avoid getting stuck) there should be a new menu item - full menu (name subject to improvement) which leads to the uncustomized menu tree. One of the entries in that tree is settings, so you still can't get stuck. What full menu does, and maybe the easiest implementation, is to suppress customization for a while - say until you pop out of it or go to the home menu with the home key. If you are constantly frustrated as I am - if you have too many entries on your customized menu because you've put once a week stuff there - then vote for 8217. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49447 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Change in Forum Unread Behavior
It used to be that when I visited one of the forums, everything was automagically marked as read. No more. Is there an option?

Re: [slim] Siwtching off Light on front of SBR
There is a tricolorled pluggin, but it doesn't really work for me (7.1). It can change the current values of the led, and it seems to offer the ability to change the actual light value associated with each state - but the latter doesn't take. Buy the way, turning off the receiver is pretty well hidden in the controller menu tree. I use the powersave plugin, but I had to hack the config by hand. It may be that the retro browser applet will let you set the powersave stuff for the receiver. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47963 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Help with scanner hack thats stopped working
I had succeeded in getting fwd.single = scanner to work in previous 7.1 Since the scanner to SongScanner change, I can't seem to swap the keys. I tried the mindless obvious - looked in default.map and swapped fwd.single and fwd.hold. This doesn't work, in that fwd.single then engages fast fwd mode, not the scanner.
