Re: [slim] why is the sb3 remote SO unreliable?
I haven't read all the post, but I remember having a similar problem. It turned out that on my IR remote one solder pad of the LED was broken. That bad contact caused the Squeezebox not accepting commands from the remote sometimes. I opened the remote, resoldered the LED, and I'm happy ever since. -- wotuzu17 wotuzu17's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62422 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 remote on the blink???
I had a similar experience with my remote. In my case it was a broken solder pad at one pin of the infrared diode.

remove batteries then check for screws. There are no screws on my remote. With a small slotted screwdriver carefully try to part the upper half from the bottom half. I couldn't do it without creating scuffs on the plastic-surface but if you are manual-skilled and patient it may work without. -- wotuzu17 wotuzu17's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54909 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 remote control getting physically weary?
I have got 2 Squeezeboxes: One older one with the Slimdevices Logo and one with the Logitech Logo. The were shipped with different IR- remotes. The old one contains AAA batteries while the new on works with AA batteries. The old IR- remote doesn't work fine anymore. Some buttons are not always responding and some are as good as dead. The arrow down and the sleep button are the worst. First I thought about a software problem caused by an upgrade, but the new- design remote works fine on both squeezeboxes. -- wotuzu17 wotuzu17's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54909 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

hirschaj;358539 Wrote: I had a problem where my remote would work very erratically and only work with certain keys. The problem was with the solder joint on the IR emitter. I opened up the remote and closely inspected where the IR emitter prongs attach to the circuit board and sure enough there was a crack in one of the joints. Re-soldering these prongs did the trick and my remote has worked great ever since. I just read your post and aut of curiosity opened my troublesome remote- and its exactly as you described ! One of the solder pads of the IR- diode is broken, you can move the wire in the hole when you touch the diode. I will re- solder it and hope it solves the problem.

[slim] very slow response time when browsing genres
Hi, I just upgraded Slimserver 6.3 to 6.5.3, using the Suse10.1 system's mysql server. My Server is a VIA C3 / 1Ghz 256MB my music consists of 1400 albums with 18434 songs by 560 artists. Basically everything works fine so far, only when I browse my music for genres, the cpu load goes to 100% for minutes. When I check the top command, I see that mysqld is using all the CPU power. For example, when I click on the rock genre, which contains 642 albums, I need to wait 6 minutes for a reaction. In the meantime, the music on my squeezebox stops due to the heavy cpu load. The old version 6.3 needed 5 seconds for the same request. Interestingly, browsing via the IR Control Search-Genres-Rock is going very fast. I already experimented with increasing buffer values in /etc/my.cnf, but that doesn't help much. I'd be happy for comments, especially from Michael since he seems to use the same hardware as I do. -- wotuzu17 wotuzu17's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] very slow response time when browsing genres
I'd like to add that all other ways of browsing are AMAZINGLY FAST. Way faster than at my 6.3 installation. Only broswing for genres that contains lots of albums in my database like Rock and Pop take INSANELY long time. Therefore I assume that it is not about my relatively weak hardware, nor about the setup of the mysql server, but a inefficient way of querying the server for genres, that results in high CPU load and that ludicrous response times. How does your slimserver6.5.3 installation react? I use the workaround of browsing for Music Folders, since my folders are organized in Genres. -- wotuzu17 wotuzu17's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36776 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I had the problems with the noise at the beginning of tracks too, and I opened a Bug Ticket http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4312 I edited the tags of some of my mp3's with mp3tag_v2.36a, and I believe the problem occurs only at tracks that are edited with that program. Perhaps it doesn't write Tags properly. Later on my server crashed, and the top command showed me 99% cpu load for the mysql daemon.

[slim] Squeezebox for me - Softsqueeze for the neighbours
Hello Community, I've just installed slimserver 6.3.1 on my linux computer and set up the squeezebox in my living room. Everything works fine so far. I would like to grant my neighbours, who use the same W-LAN, access to my music library. The should be able to listen to their Softsqueezes, but they should NOT be able to accidentally control my squeezbox. Is there a feature in slimserver to give permissions for multiple users? Does it make sense to run more than one instance of slimserver, that are listening to different ports (e.g 9000, 9001) ?
