Hi,
I used to have the local weather forecast as my standby screensaver,
but it may have been pre-qnap.
I have registered with Weather.com and put the rss for my local area
into rss feeds - but there doesn't seem to be a way of just selecting
this one feed. Selecting RSS news ticker as the
Twonkyvision.

It looks like the one remaining issue is with MusicMagic/MusicIP.

Well I answered my own question - this is a BUG in 6.3. I reinstalled
6.2.2 and the behavior is back to normal. Just to verify, I reinstalled
6.3 again, and it broke - and back to 6.2.2, and it behaves right.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...why should I want to upgrade from
6.2.2 ever?

There have been isolated reports of a white noise of death which
sounds just like what you experienced. It's extremely rare, but I'm
sure slim support would like to talk to you as they're trying to find
out as much as possible about this problem so they can fix it.

First question - whats the IP address you are getting on the SB? If its
169... then you don't have a useful address.
If its 192.168 then thats good... ping it from your server by

Since I have installed Slimserver 6.3.0 and a second Squeezebox V3, I
have been experiencing:
1. Erratic performance on the first Squeezebox: dropouts, and
sluggish/frozen responses on the VU meter. This is an intermittent
problem.
2. Enormous variability in the wireless signal strength.
This is either 2 or 3 different problems, with different sources.
The third one, the compilation albums not working, is a problem with
6.3. Watch the forums for progress on fixing it.
The reason it wasn't caught before release, as I understand it, is that
it only fails when compilation albums
As far as wireless problems are concerned I found the simplest solution
was simply to do away with wireless for audio streaming altogether -
there are too many variables outside of one's control such as

I have a wired SB1 in the FR that I purchased in Dec 2004, so about 1.5
yrs old. The SB1 is having some problems.
1) It randomly stops playing, drops out or pauses if you will. Then
20-30 seconds later will kick back on. 2) At times, the audio is
sounding very 'ceramic' (best word for it)

Your problem is most likely a side effect of 6.3.
