[slim] 1x Squeezebox 3 and 2x Squeezebox Duet for sale
I bought my first slim devices squeezebox a long time ago - back in 2006 - before music streaming over the internet was really a thing. It was revolutionary. I ripped all my cds, and listened to music that I hadn't heard for ages. Over the years, my wife and I and my 4 kids have used it constantly. It has been the best tech purchase I ever made. I even contributed some very early code to fix a problem I had with my original setup. I know there are still avid fans out there, but for me its time to move on. My worn out laptop (running LMS) is so old that it is hard to get parts for. I no longer have the time to tinker and fiddle to get things "just so". And my ears aint what they used to be. Now days we mostly listen to spotify (except for some esoteric albums from my old collection that will never be available). We already use google play to purchase video content so we can watch it on a variety of devices, and use plex for my local video content. It all works seamlessly with chromecast. I'm a bit sheepish to say that today I bought a chromecast audio. I pointed Plex at my music library, plugged in the chromecast, and 5 minutes later I was streaming music to the loungeroom. It took me about 2 minutes to explain how to use it to my youngest (8 years old). For my needs, its easier to setup, easier to use and easier to maintain. SO.. I'm a bit sad to say that I'm looking for a home for my old setup. - Logitech squeezebox 3 ( my original slim devices one failed a while back ) - 2x Logitech duet and controller (batteries are shot on the controllers) PM me with an offer. I'll accept anything that covers the chromecast and postage. Otherwise I'll donate it to the local Op Shop - which is always good for your second hand karma :) Jules - Melbourne, Australia bigjules's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109500 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Unusual uses for your Controller
At the risk of sounding like a dodgy bugger.. Here's a rather unusual use I found for my Controller. I have three kids.. and to ease the number of chores (and to improve general household sanity), my wife and I agreed to get a cleaner once a week for three hours to .. well .. clean. Recently I've noticed that the house has been less clean.. (probably because I'm on paternity leave with too much time on my hands).. So I called to make sure the cleaner was .. well .. cleaning and found that the cleaner wasn't really at our house for the full three hours.. closer to one hour the time I rang.. I mentioned to the cleaner that I think it might be appropriate to .. well.. clean for the three hours instead of one. who cares I hear you say.. well.. now comes the interesting bit. Being a little peeved, I attached my Controller to the inside of the front door, knowing that the handy inbuilt accelerometer will notice any door movements during the day. When I get home I check the log to discover that the cleaner has only .. well.. cleaned .. for about an hour and a half. Who would have thought that I could use my Controller as an employee monitoring device. Needless to say I'm looking for a new cleaner. -- bigjules bigjules's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46323 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] To upgrade or Not to upgrade, that is the question.
In my experience dont try to upgrade unless you have a lot of time on your hands and you dont get frustrated easily. I tried upgrading from 6.2.3 to 6.5 a while back. I had so many problems I gave up and went back to my old installation. And I have a PhD in artificial intelligence, so (hopefully) its not because I'm clueless. And like you, I am not saying I dont like the product. I use my SB3 every day, both for internet radio and listening to my music collection.

If you're happy with your server going into standby rather than shutting down, then you shouldn't need any plugins to do what you want. just download the latest 6.2.2. Set your power management to put your computer into standby (after 10 or 15 minutes). Open the network interface controller properties for your network card (or wireless network controller). Check the Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby. Check the Only allow management stations to bring the computer out of standby. And it should send itself into standby about 15 mins after you stop listening to music on your SB.

radish Wrote: Except that just because the player is switched off doesn't mean the server wants to forget about it. You still want to see which players are connected, and maybe switch them on. That requires an active connection. Sure you could drop the connection on power off and bring it back on power on, but what if you couldn't? (because it wasn't there). That would lead to a UI action which couldn't be completed, and that's a Bad Thing (tm). The real question is, why not have the keepalives? They use essentially zero bandwidth. The server does know the players IP. So it could just remember that.. if the player IP changes its not like the old connection remains valid anyway. So to switch a player on.. the server could try to open a connection to it. Some people have trouble with the keepalives preventing their server machine from going into standby.. I dont have this issue.. but I just dont see why they are necessary. I would have thought the squeezebox was a passive network device.. in that when it isn't in use it just sits there.. not impacting in any way on your network..

Why not just make that longer. Regardless of who initiated the connection, its not like the server isn't sending packets to the squeezebox all the time.
