Re: [slim] Music IP 1.7 - compatibility issue?
I have a problem with 6.5 (on XP MCE) and MusicIP 1.7. MusicIP mixes work fine on their own and Slimserver works fine for it's normal stuff. I can even send a mixed list from IP to SS. However, when I try to mix through the SlimServer web interface, Slim reports that the library is still scanning (no mix). I don't get the still scanning message when I, say, list artists. I have tried a full library rescan but no change. It looks like some problem in this area, no? Russell.

Slimserver now won't start - i've tried reinstalling it but the problem is the same - slimserver shows as 'starting' in the system tray but doesnt get any further. I can't imagine a problem with the two - I've been running MIP 1.7 and SlimServer 6.5 quite happily on my XP laptop. Have you tried running slimserver _without_ MIP, from the command line? It should give you some information why it crashes (if it does). -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

A little bit more info, when I run a command line scan (see below), it crashes. Now I have hit the limit of my diagnostic skills :-( Russell.

[slim] Squeezenetwork versus Slimserver - Could they be friends?
I have just upgraded to an SB3 (very happy with that) and have now got access to Squeezenetwork. The concept looks pretty good and might be the seed of some serious market uniqueness for Slimdevices. The current implementation, though might have have a missed a trick. Essentially, the SB3 is either logged onto Squeezenetwork, or onto my server but never both. Wouldn't it be better if the box could (optionally?) use Squeezenetwork for some things (such as the clock display and alarms) and stay logged in to my local server? I could use the SB as an alarm, for example, without having to leave my server on or explicitly log between Squeezenetwork and my local server when I want to stream music. Or perhaps there is some constraint here I don't understand? Russell. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Upgraded SB1 to SB3, result!
Also upgraded from SB1 to SB 3 over Christmas and this was also painless. The new SB3 doesn't show a couple of flakiness problems that my SB1 did and so feels much more solid to use. Also looks great! Incidentally, the SB1 was refusing to find Slimserver after a power on / restart but finding it straight away after a network set-up. I have still no idea why it does this. Offers welcome as I would still like to use it occasionally. Happy New Year, Russell.

Er, no. I am just confused. Less so now, thanks. Thanks, Russell.

Re: [slim] Re: Squeezebox 2 unfriendly with (wired) network connectivity
This may (not) be relevant - my firmware version is reported as 40 for the same 5.2.1 build! Am I *that* far ahead ;-) I also have a problem where my SB2 "can't find slimserver" after a power on or restart. Pressing "left" and resetting up the connection works every time. This is with a Belkin F5D7230v4 router and using DCHP and no encryption. In my case at least, the firmware version isn't sync'd that well. Not sure what this means, though. Russell. Jeff wrote: MrC Wrote: No, that's the slimserver software version and locale. Instead, look just above that info for Player Firmware Version in the web or look at Settings-Information-Player Information on the SB. What's the point? Firmware versions and software versions are sync'ed; that will answer Dean's question. Just to satisfy others out there (since Dean should know), the firmware version shipping with SlimServer 6.2.1 is 28. -- Jeff ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Cannot fnd slimserver
Hi, all. I am having real problems with my SB2 rebooting (after 2 t 20 songs) and then failing to find the slimserver. If I try right to retry, it stall can't find it. If I try left and reset up the network, it finds the server first time and is off. No idea why it is rebooting but (in any case) what is different between the reboot sequence that fails and the network set-up? Thanks, Russell. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
