Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
I've been getting a message that says softsqueeze freezes on connecting to squeezebox whenever I open softsqueeze. This has been happening since I upgraded to slimserver 6.5.1. I have tried every suggestion on here, including uninstalling softsqueeze and then installing softsqueeze 2.3, all to no avail. The controls are frozen and the message never changes from the connecting to squeezebox message. -- Mark Belden Mark Belden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3990 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33004 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
I did the same as BigTony ie. changed 'Preferences Skin Display Style (drop down list) from Transporter to any other option or run Softsqueeze headless. That's it. This is with Softsqueeze3.3 on win and ubuntu (from the dl'ed zip) and Slimserver on Ubuntu P4, 1gig ram AND another Slimserver on a windows box on the same subnet. I'm able to use the discovered host names in the drop down without having to enter the actual ip addy of the Slimservers. Really odd that a skin would have that effect but I don't know much about anything and even less about java. -- curly curly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5100 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33004 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
Had a similar problem... 1) Found I had two instances of SlimServer running on my Linux Box. (ps -A|grep slimserver showed four processes instead of two) 2) changed the Slimserver Hostname from http://192.168.1.103:9000 and replaced it with 192.168.1.103 One of these two fixed it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
I setup Slimserver and softsqueeze this weekend, and at first I also couldn't get it to work on any PC other than the one the server was on. However, I switched the skin to Squeezebox, (rather than the default Transporter), turned on the debug options, and as if by magic it all started to work correctly. No idea why, btu then again this is a network toy, and experience has told me that simply switching all the nobs and dials randomly eventually makes the network sing and dance for you. Other than that, you original post described my situation exactly! Everything appeared to be finme, just it was working and came up with the Check your settings error on the transporter screen. If this helps, then great, if not I hope you find a solution soon. BT PS I plan to buy the hardware version as I'm very happy with the SW one. -- BigTony BigTony's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10638 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33004 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
Right. So it looks like I have this working, at least part way. I can log in to a server running under WinXP SP2 using Softsqueeze running on a Mac (OSX 10.4.x). Both are running the most current server and client software. However, I am unable to log into the Linux machine. The error message says that it cannot use the version of the server software (6.3.1-I am using an older version because it takes fewer resources on this particular machine). I have not yet found a work-around. I am not entirely sure what changed, but I think it was essential to use the actual IP address rather than the name of the server that appeared on the pop-up list in the SoftSqueeze prefs menu.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
Hi, Oddly enough, I turned on one of the debug flags on Softsqueeze an discovered that it was attempting to connect with an address that was completely different from the one named in the Networking panel of the Preferences. There was a choice of two names-each relating to a slimserver device on my network (one PC and one Linux). However, when I turned on the Slimproto (verbose) debug option, it claimed to be attempting to connect with an IP address that was nowhere on my network. When I entered the correct IP address specifically, it continued to have trouble, only this time it was complaining about not reaching the port on that machine (not port 9000- the other one which is around 3400). When I did a portscan of the server in question, that port was open, so I am still not sure what the problem is. I will definitely try reverting to an older version of SoftSqueeze and see if that helps.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
*bump* Sorry to press this. I would very much like to know if my problem is typical and if there is a workaround. Even a brief answer from an experienced SoftSqueeze user would be greatly appreciated.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze question: connection problem
Hi, I am trying to test my setup before I buy a Squeezebox. I have installed the slim server on three different systems: a Mac (OSX 10.4.x) a PC (WinXP SP2) and a Linux machine (Olive Musica). I am trying to see if I can stream files off of any of these systems to another using Softsqueeze as a client. Softsqueeze works fine internally on a single machine. I can see my iTunes library on the WinXP machine (from Softsqeeze) and play music. However, I am unable to use Softsqueeze on the PC to log into the Mac or Linux box. Similarly, the Mac version of Softsqueeze does not connect with either the PC or the Linux machine. I get a list of slimservers on Softsqueeze, so the servers are running. Also, a port scan of the Linux machine, at least, reveals that it is running on ports 3483 and 9000. I have also noticed that the Softsqueeze error log sometimes states that there was a dropped connection with the server. Otherwise, the Softsqueeze display only says that it is looking for servers. Any ideas?
