Re: [slim] NAS -- Basic Guidance Appreciated
i own a Synology DS209. while i have installed the SBS software on it, as of now i merely use it as a backup server for al data including my music collection. the system that truly runs SBS though resides on an always-on low-power linux computer - the reason is responsiveness. while i could live with the performance of SBS on the DS209, i find the immediate response i get of the desktop machine more satisfying. so for now the DS209 is a backup server that also has 1:1 RAID redundancy. i do not eliminate running SBS on the DS209 in the future though. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: MiniITX build w/Intel DH61DL & i3-2100T - Ubuntu 11.04 - SBS 7.5.4 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet (1), Radio (1), Accuphase DP65v CD (used as DAC mostly) Amplifiers: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88501 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Mozilla FireFox
You have some type of conflict. SBS and interfaces work fine running on Firefox 5 on top of Windows 7 64-bit. I've run into this same problem before. I think the problem may well be with old Squeezebox Server settings, or old Firefox settings, or both - that have been carried over from previous versions. Start by cleaning out all of your previous Squeezebox and Firefox settings, including in program files, user directories and registry settings. You can set important items, like bookmarks, aside somewhere and add them back in later. Look around here, or Google, for directions. After you've cleaned it all out, setup a fresh copy of both programs, unpolluted by previous settings, and it should work fine. -- eganders eganders's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88492 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You may very well be right and the network is just fine, but just because the ethernet cable plugged into your laptop gets an internet connection doesn't mean the SB players are receiving IP addresses from the DHCP in your router.

[slim] 4 out of 5 devices stopped connecting
I have 3 SBCs, and a SBR and a Boom Only ONE will work (one of the Classics). I had been sucessfully using homeplugs or hardwire ethernet for the last 3 years, and in the last few months, all of these have crapped out on me. When I set up, I get a message "ethernet connection not detected." I have tried plugging them into the router (which works with other devices) directly, and I still get "ethernet connection not detected." I can get intermittent access via wifi if I connect to SBS instead of SB.com. I don't want to have to connect to SBS. When I connect to SB.com the screens go black and I can only move the screen if I unplug/replug. The working Classic gets daily use, it has a linear power supply. The Boom got daily use. The others got occasional use. Now the system has gone to crap. What can I do?

Re: [slim] NAS -- Basic Guidance Appreciated
I have a QNAP TS-110, which was about the cheapest NAS that I could locate that looked like it would host the SB server. There were instructions on the QNAP site on how to install the SSOTS software and the SB server. I wouldn't say it is for the novice, but then again, I know absolutely nothing about Linux and was able to muddle my way through without any major issues. The NAS has been running about a year now with no issues. It does (very occasionaly) have a startup issue (it starts playing, then stops for a moment while "rebuffering" and then continues) but only rarely. And only when playing 24/96 high resolution FLAC. So it may be wise to go with a slightly more powerful NAS than the TS-110 if you intend to do hi-res. The Vortexbox or any small (Atom) based computer might be an easier way to go, but I went with the NAS and it has been good. As far as backup, I use my desktop computer for all ripping, and I keep a copy of all my music on the desktop. I then copy them over to the NAS for playing. So I have two copies (on two different systems) of all of my music. I use a wireless connection to my Touch. The NAS connectes (wired) to a wireless router that connects to the Touch.

Re: [slim] NAS -- Basic Guidance Appreciated
Or you could try something like a Synology NAS, for example the 'DS111' (http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS111&lang=enu#p_submenu). If you look at the download page of the product, they have a package available for squeezebox. So it's not that difficult to set everything up. It has a graphical interface, so (normally) you don't need to do any terminal commands. For the record, I do not have such a NAS. I have a SheevaPlug, which you need to custom install, do difficult things, etc., so I would not recommend that to user without any Linux knowledge. It has a slower processor than this NAS (1.2 vs. 1.6 GHz), but more RAM (512 vs. 256MB).

Re: [slim] NAS -- Basic Guidance Appreciated
yes, it is supposed to be, and for some (many) it may be. But in the end, it is Linux, and a very specific version of Linux without the full GUI most distros of Linux have today. So if you have any issues you start needing to use Putty to login and write command line code. I switched over my WHS system to Vortexbox about a week ago.Had several issues with SBS not working correctly, and the backup function not working. All were resolved, with reinstalls/updates, help from the VB forum, and some logins and code writing with Putty. Definitely not for the true novice. If it works great for you, I'm happy. But just take a brief stroll through the VB forum and you'll see all the answers that say, "logon to your VB server (putty) and use the following code..." And just as a side comment, Logitech support doesn't support installs of SBS on Linux boxes (even though SBS works fine on it). They politely told me so and refused to help when my VB had a problem with some of the functionality of the SBS not working. BTW, now that I have everything working, I'm happy with VB and plan to keep using it. The SBS web interface and my Touch work just as they did with SBS on Windows.

I love my vortexbox and I have a readynas duo that cost more and is basically useless for the purpose I bought it for. 3. Vortexbox is plug and play. from unpacking the box, I was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Took longer to then scan all my music files, but truly plug and play. 4. Vortexbox has a USB backup procedure. just plug in an external USB drive to vortexbox and hit "backup" on the web interface for the vortexbox. Or, since it shows up as a drive on my local network, I can plug a usb drive into my laptop and use windows file explorer to copy files from the vortexbox to the usb drive connected to my laptop. 5. yes. 6. connect NAS (vortexbox) to your router with ethernet cable. Then your router can talk to your SB players via WIFI (or ethernet if you want to wire the SB players). First, keep in mind that a NAS is a computer, just one without a keyboard or monitor. Usually running some sort of linux OS. Use the search function on the third party forums and you'll find lots of info. There are lots of types of NAS units. The key is that many (most?) of them are very underpowered for running SbS. I have a ReadyNas DUO. It plays just fine, but was painful to use in terms of browsing artists, selecting songs, etc. (about a 60,000 track library). There are more powerful ReadyNas units. Key is you really need an x86 processor to be powerful enough. A NAS plugs into your router with an ethernet cable and then becomes available on your local network. You can copy files there are stream from your NAS, etc. In my case, I abandoned using the ReadyNas for my SB stuff and purchased a Vortexbox Appliance. It is plug and play, is fast, and goes for months and months without so much the need for a reboot. Stick it anywhere in your house (closet, basement) where you can connect it to your router with ethernet and you'll be up and running in minutes. And although not really advertised as such, it does everything a NAS does. I store other files (documents, folders) on my vortexbox and these files are available to all users on my local network. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88501 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Changing the display to boom as you did is what I would recommend. The slimprotocol handling is different in the softboom/boom playertype versus squeezeslave. rpress;638111 Wrote: > Playback is still flawless, there have been no problems with skipping. That's awesome! I ran into the issue with having to run as root to change the thread priority, so I commented out the "nice" calls and still have flawless playback on my old laptop streaming flac over wireless-B, something that never worked in the past and I was able to remove the -p940 option.

[slim] NAS -- Basic Guidance Appreciated
Hi everyone Right now I'm using a S/B classic with all my music files stored on an external Samsung 1.5 TB Hard drive, with the S/B server running on my desktop computer. I'm thinking of changing to a NAS. But I have some basic questions. I. Is it a good idea? 2. Which brand (I can see there's an old thread which recommends Vortexbox) 3. How easy is it to set up? (I'm not really a techie) 4. How do you do backup? 5. Will I still be able to use the advanced search feature in the S/B server? 6. How does it all wire up? Wired link to the computer and wirelessly to the S/B?

Re: [slim] Mozilla FireFox
I seem to recall Firefox blocks the SC default port so you need to change it (about:config in Firefox).

Re: [slim] Mozilla FireFox
Exactly the same problem I have but in my case the default UI does not load in any browser (Firefox, I.E or Chrome). Classic and Fishbone work in everything. I've given up trying to solve it now and customer services were no help at all. -- slartibartfast slartibartfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88492 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Mozilla FireFox
Thanks Sue - should have called it squeezebox server, old habits die hard. Disabling the addons has no effect it still just calls up the basic green squeezebox screen and then stays forever trying to complete the logon, whereas internet explorer does the business straight away. -- martinshaw martinshaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14205 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88492 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
