I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with Squeezecenter 7.0 - 17225 on a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop 1.7GHz Centrino 500Mb memory. It runs two SB3's (Firmware 86) perfectly at the same time while playing FLAC files. I'm running the default skin with Firefox with no extra plug-ins. The SB3's are connected wired

Interestingly the new server installation streams perfectly to another PC (still wireless) running Softsqueeze. Something peculiar to the SB3 which it doesn't like? There have been some firmware versions which didn't like updates. I've needed to do factory reset on some of my SB2/3s in the

I've just upgraded from Slimserver 6.3 to 7.0 unstable. The server hardware hasn't changed (apart from a bigger hard drive), the network (wireless) hasn't changed, the location of the SB3 hasn't changed, but now music is unlistenable - there's constant dropout. My music library is all Flac, and

Going back to SS 6.54 fixed it so it is a SC 7.0 thing. You didn't by chance read my previous answer? -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I am actually starting to suspect that it's Ubuntu 7.10's fault. This appears to be the most brain-dead, stupid, embarrassing operating system in recent history; it is apparently incapable of enabling DMA on a bog-standard PATA hard drive on a run-of-the-mill motherboard. So, my main drive is

Are you guys using the new Default skin in a browser on the same machine running SqueezeCenter 7? It's been known to peg the CPU to 100% in some browsers, particularly Firefox with certain plugins. If that's the case, either try using a different skin or figure out which plugin is conflicting
