[slim] Tidal Buffering Issue
Hey all, It's been a smooth year for me and my Squeezeboxen, but I'm experiencing a problem now that I can't debug - thought I'd ask the community for assistance. Like it says in the title, Tidal, using the Tidal v1.2 plugin buffers. Not all the time, but more often than not. Once it starts, nothing I can do will resolve it. I have no issues streaming local music, nor do I have an issue with Radio Paradise streaming FLAC files via the RP plugin.. Further, Tidal streaming directly to my laptop on the same network has no issues. I'm running LMS 7.9.0 - 1488878280 on a WHS v1 machine. Taskmgr shows no overt load, nor any more than .0.% networking activity. I'm streaming to a SB Touch that's connected via ethernet powerline adapter. Any thoughts?

Now everything is hung and my system is relegated to swap memory. I've tried killing unneeded processes and starting LMS in Safe Mode (no user extensions) but it's still using 2GB of memory, and my system has only 2GB. First of all: LMS will not use 2GB just because of this setting. It will use what it needs. I don't know your collection, but with my 20k tracks it would use around 100MB after the start. Did you check what task is using all the memory, and if it's really swapping you're experiencing? Is there a file anywhere that I can manually edit and flip this switch back to low usage so I can fire up LMS again? Yes, edit server.prefs and remove the dbhighmem (or similar) value. Sorry - got a little panicked there. My 110k tracks used 200,000kb, which is .2GB. My system locked up with no memory left, which is why I thought it was 2GB. Anyway, it's enough to push my box over the edge to autism. I deleted the entire squeezebox directory and reinstalled, and now it's good. I think I'll look at adding another stick of memory if my WHS 1.0 box will support it. My server's working great! Let's change something! Sigh.

Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
Hi there, I've recently started using this app, and it looks great. The only issue is that it seems to be re-downloading the art cache each time I go into the app. It also always asks me to confirm that I want to use my one and only music library. I'm assuming the blue-changing-to-orange line across the bottom of the screen is the progress of the cache download?

[slim] Transporter won't connect
Hey there, I'm trying to diagnose an issue with a Slim Devices Transporter. Every once in a while this unit loses connection with the server. When this happens, the unit goes dark and won't fire up with the power button (at least, I think it's loss of connection that starts this trouble, but I can't be sure). When I unplug it and plug it back in, it goes through the welcome screen and then almost immediately displays a message that it's obtaining an IP address. This message stays up for about 5 seconds and then the unit goes dark again. I'm never asked to choose the country or network. It takes much fussing and fidgeting, both with rebooting the server and the wireless router, and then rebooting the Transporter. After a number of attempts it'll fire up act like it's lost its memory. I can then re-enter my wireless key and it'll work. The wireless signal is marginal as the Transporter is a fair distance from the router. Could this be the issue? Once it's connected it's generally good for at least a few days, up to a week.
