Re: [slim] Extended wifi network - use same channel ?
Well touch wood, my network has been better since moving over to different channels. I guess, despite being the same SSID / password, the 2 networks are different physical networks which a device has to link to communicate through. And defined by the SSID, not the channel number as you say. Avoiding shared channels with your neighbours (to minimise interference issues) would also apply to this situation ?

Re: [slim] Squeezeplay on Windows 8
bonze wrote: I have been happily running Squeezeplay on my Win7 (now 8.1) machine for a few years with no problems. My LMS is installed on a WHS. Yesterday, for apparently no reason, Squeezeplay stopped talking to the LMS. It may have been because I was rebooting the WHS at the time, but normally Squeezeplay will connect when LMS is available. But not this time. I could see the player from the webGUI, and it would work from there. But trying to connect to my LMS gave the spinny graphic and failed. I examined all the .lua files I could find in the user directory (user/AppData/Roaming/Squeezeplay), and found two instances where the text squeezeNetwork=true was included. (Playback.lua SlimDiscovery.lua) I changed these both to squeezeNetwork=false, and Squeezeplay came back to life. Not sure if this would work in all cases, but worth a try. Presumably, it decided to try and connect to SqueezeNetwork, and wouldn't go back ?? My guess is it just took a while to get your LMS (logitech media server) online and active. In between it defaulted to squeeze network. If you would have just waited a little bit, it would have probably given you the choice again.

Re: [slim] Extended wifi network - use same channel ?
In addition to the correct points garym made: All devices communicating over a certain channel have to share the limited bandwidth of that channel and have to avoid collisions while talking. So the more clients are talking on a channel the less throughput can be expected. And the different channels are partly overlapping, which can decrease performance further. The only non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz range are the 1, 6 and 11. So if you have different APs, try to use different channels - but this also depends on how many WiFis are in your neighborhood and on which channels they're talking. reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100930 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
I am having issues downloading music tracks as mp3 from my collection, which is in FLAC. The problem is documented as a new TRAC ticket http://orangebikelabs.com/trac/orangesqueeze/ticket/137 In short, downloading a single track correctly initiates transcoding on my server (grabbing the URL from the server debug log and pasting it in a web browser results in a succesful file download). On the phone, diagnostics show a download progressing with byte count steadily increasing, but the target folder never seem to get the file. When exiting the app and coming back, all incomplete downloads are started over again until they are removed from the list. Can anyone comment? Was anyone able to download/transcode? Did anyone have the issue and resolved it?

Re: [slim] Google Chromecast
Found one answer to that question. Bought this: 15600 That adapter's ten bucks on eBay. Has an HDMI in, to plug in the Chromecast device, then use that audio out to achieve the equivalent of a Squeezebox device, for line level music input. Plug that audio into a little $20 Lepai 2020+ amp and a pair of speakers and I can scatter those all around the house and outside, anywhere in reach of the wifi signal. Done and dusted for less than $100 each music station, then control any and all with an Android phone.

Re: [slim] Google Chromecast
Thanks. I have found that HDMI-VGA adaptor on Ebay UK. Am I right that it will require a power supply. Some of the other adaptors show a power cable terminating in a USB plug, Have I got this right? The HDMI cable carries no analogue audio, so the adaptor must have an on board DAC. Have you assessed the performance of that DAC, and the quality of the audio available at the 3.5mm jack?

Re: [slim] Rhapsody crashing Squeezeplay devices?
Firmware update not out yet, should be soon. You'll see a message to update the software/firmware when it's ready. Here's another update. As I mentioned earlier this week we do have firmware with a fix for the Rhapsody/Napster issue. Unfortunately it turned out that this came at unexpected cost. Some other features (incl. TinyLMS on Touch) are broken. We yet have to figure out what is causing this. That said: if you are willing to take the risk of running new beta firmware for your Touch, and don't need the built-in server, please shoot me a mail (michael ät slimdevices dot com). We're planning to provide access to a pre-release build asap. Please note that at this point this is limited to SB Touch (and probably UE Smart Radio), as manually updating the SB Radio is a bit more involved and comes at a higher risk of bricking the device. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
