Re: [slim] Warning: Linksys WRT110 Rangeplus Wireless Router Squeezebox
My WRTG54 died several months ago and I replaced it with the WRT110. I had all manner of problems with it. Most annoying was that occasionally none of the devices connected to it (either wirelessly or wired) could talk to any other of the devices, nor the internet. Only cyclying the power on the router would correct this, and then only for a short while. I systematically worked the problem until I hit on the answer for me.

I want to install an SB3 under a kitchen cabinet. To keep it as unobtrusive as possible, I'd like to mount it upside-down, which would allow me to hide about 1.25 inches of the total height of the unit in the recess at the bottom of the cabinet. I've found this older thread involving an SB2. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15633highlight=%22flip+display%22 This sounds like a perfect solution for software, but I'm not aware of an existing cabability (and I don't know if such functionality would need to be in the firmware or could be implemented in SlimServer). So, have I overlooked an existing software solution for this? And if I haven't, is the display in the SB3 connected in such a way that would allow me to turn it over without the use of a soldering iron? -- byKnight Really, it was like that when I got here. byKnight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7011 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30745 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Flip display for kitchen installation
Well I'm poking around the SlimServer source for the first time. A cursory look suggests maybe I could modify the render routine in Graphics.pm to do a simple transformation of the screen bitmap so that it's upside-down before sending it to the player. Can anybody tell me if I'm in the neighborhood? Or am I stumbling aimlessly? I know almost nothing about the plug-in interface or even how to build SlimServer from the source. -- byKnight Really, it was like that when I got here. byKnight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7011 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30745 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: I want to listen to music and NOT try to waking up the server...
Similar experience here. 6.5.x works fine for me EXCEPT I sometimes have to fiddle with it to get to connect to the server. I don't mind it so much, because I like the improvements made between 6.3.x and 6.5.x. But for the first two months I had my SB3, I was running 6.3.x, and although there were some bugs here and there, it did ALWAYS connect to the server immediately upon my pressing Power or Play on the remote. I finally had found a streaming music device that my wife enjoyed using. With 6.5.x, although I have no complaints personally, the WAF has gone way south. I've got my second SB3 on the way. I may run 6.3.x on both to ensure my wife is happy. -- byKnight Really, it was like that when I got here. byKnight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7011 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29536 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
