[slim] Dead screen and audio amp on SB2
Hi, I just went to use my SB2 and found that the screen wasn't waking up. Upon investigating: 1) The screen appears completely dead. When I remove and apply power no splash screen appears. Selecting different brightness levels doesn't help. 2) I can ping the SB2 on the wireless network and see the device in slimserver. 3) There's a red glow from the optical output 4) If I play music on the SB2 remotely using the web UI audio is produced but only if I set maximum volume and even then it's very quiet on the line out. I've not tried the headphone jack. 5) The SB2 responds to the infra red remote control normally. I have a 2nd SB2 so I've been able to test on another external PSU. Open circuit PSU voltage is 5.2v on both and using the PSU from my other SB2 doesn't help. Any idea? Seems that only the screen and perhaps final audio amplifier stage is down. Some sort of internal PSU failure? I'm in the UK so I'm wondering whether I'd do better to replace a blown component myself or return to Slim Devices - presumably a long round trip time for me. Device is several years old so it's well and truly out of warranty :( Any advice appreciated.

[slim] Mono mix from Squeezebox 2
Is there anyway to get the Squeezebox2 with (6.5.0) to mix stereo sources to mono output on the line level outputs please? If not could this be a firmware wishlist item please? I have a pair of wireless speakers that I use in different rooms. It would be nice to get the whole sound; rather than just half of it when I choose. The wireless transmitter has a mono mode but appears to bridge the input channels which seems like a *bad* idea.

Indeed; mplayer from the command line does seem hit and miss although the mms version does seem to give a bunch more unknown object errors from mplayer. It's not clear why the URL is being changed from http to mms but both seem about as unreliable as each other. Maybe the server is just overloaded right now. I guess the more worrying thing is that this seems to kill slimserver. -- knigma knigma's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1054 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25410 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Easy to reproduce reboot bug with 6.2.2
With slimserver 6.2.2 / firmware 48 on a Squeezebox 2 (FreeBSD server installed from the ports): Start playing a track from an album of mp3s. Press and release the Fwd key on the remote to move to the start of the next track and then almost immediately press and hold the Rev key for a couple of seconds and the Squeezebox reboots. Solution: Don't do what I describe above. This is a recipe that reproduces the problem reliabily for me but other combinations of Fwd and Rev have had the same effect. Do others see this?

Strangely the front panel still showed the correct 00:04... MAC address. However some combination of a factory reset and changing the MAC address to something else and then back seems to have cured the odd behaviour. Just going through the edit MAC screen without changing the 00:04... number did not fix it.

[slim] Squeezebox2 v.11 DHCP weirdness
Trying to configure my DHCP server to dish out a fixed address to my squeezebox turned out to be a little less trivial than I expected. The label on the unit and the MAC address received over the wireless network is 00:04:20:05:ae:0a. However, inside the DHCP discover messages sent by the squeezebox2 the Client MAC address is: 20:04:b4:00:00:0c. For a full packet dump see: http://www.knigma.org.uk/scratch/dhcp_weird.txt Where's this client MAC address from? Any insights appreciated? It means I have to put this address in dhcpd.conf rather than the one I would have expected. -- knigma ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
