[slim] HELP SB3 SS what happened now?
Need some help Recently added some music to my server in the same way as previously and SlimServer will not pick it up/recognize. Have tried new and changed, as well as what I normally use, clear and rescan. Thoughts? There is some music I would like to be able to access later today.

Re: [slim] SB3 stops randomly ---WHY? Is Squeezebox only poorly implemented pipe dream?
slwiser;267648 Wrote: 4000 at 100% then it starts down below 100%. Signal strength between 85 an 60%. 20 feet away from router. FLAC files. I have a Lynksys WRT45GS working with version 4.70.6 firmware. I have upgraded the SB3 firmware to 86. I am using the new SqueezeCenter server..this is one of my attempts to fix this. Nothing else has issues with the wireless feed from this unit. WPA TRIP is being used. Wired between computer server and router. This most likely will not be a SB3 issue, but something else, most likely in your wireless network. I suggest this as there are many here that do not have dropouts on wireless. You have received some good things to look at so far. I can say my furthest SB3 is pretty much always at 70-85% wireless strength and I have yet to experience a dropout; so I do not think that is the cause of your issues alone. Curious, is the computer running your server software dedicated, or also functioning as your normal computer? It might be good to see what may be taking up some cycles on it. Also, what else may be on your wireless at the same time? I have had up to 5 items (2 SB3s and 3 computers) on wireless at the same time, and didn't have any issues. Now streaming over the internet was a different story. With 2 softsservers going at work, if my daughter is serving up things on a sharesite, I have issues then due to upload bandwidth.

Answer me this: Is it possible to setup a fixed IP for SB and let everything else float? Or does this mean that I have to reconfigure all my wireless devices to be fixed it I go this way?

The location and width of these bands does not appear to be fixed to the display screen width itself, but appears to be relative to the width of the information provided. The firmware was updated a few days ago when installed. Any thoughts? Bug in the firmware? Odd as it just started a couple days after the update. Or is it a bum display?
