Re: [slim] MySqueezebox.com login issues
I'm still none the wiser about the debugging and the log upload. I'm reasonably IT savvy so I could probably work it out, but I'm not going to bother - life's too short. Heaven only knows how the average consumer views the Squeezebox experience, especially at upgrade time. Mine never worked out of the box as I had to reconfigure my firewall to make even the basics happen. Now that it works with Squeezecenter, or whatever it's called now under 7.4, I'm leaving well alone. Under wireless, the SB3 would experience drop-outs and re-buffering, that was solved by going to Powerplugs. When the thing is working, it is an awesome piece of kit. But the whole thing has cost me both time and money. I changed my router from the standard device that came with my broadband package to a Belkin Vision N1, thinking it would cure my wi-fi issues. I bought new cordless phones to keep them off the same frequency as the router. I went out and purchased Powerplugs and a 5m Ethernet cable. None of this stuff is cheap here in the UK, so whilst I bought the SB3 at a reasonable price of about £160, I must have spent in the region of £300 to get it to work reliably, not including all the time required to invest in finding a workable solution. I could have bought a Sonos single room solution at that consolidated price of £460 and have had it working out of the box with no further financial or time investment. When support solutions involve debugging and uploading log files, I do wonder how commercially feasible the Squeezebox is, as most people simply won't accept this. -- Squeezemeister Squeezemeister's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31430 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68558 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

get.amped;463479 Wrote: No argument there. I'm referring more to what Logitech is doing. Quite honestly, I don't follow the forums here regularly, particularly since my music setup works quite well. I have plenty of other personal and professional research to keep up with, so the only time I end up here is when I need to determine whether I'm going to do an upgrade or (very occasionally) to see if there are any new plugins that might be of interest. But this time what brought me here was an e-mail from Logitech informing me about changes that had already occurred. And while there is undoubtably a wealth of information in the other forums (which I will be looking through when I have some more time), that community resource should not completely replace what Logitech should be doing to inform users about significant development events. I have to believe that most SqueezeBox owners are not going to actively follow the software development effort unless they have some very good reason for doing so. Exactly! I really don't look at the forum every week. I only come here to check on new items and when there is one, I hang out to find out what I can because Logitech itself isn't a good source of information. Sales support and product support are poor, at best, in my opinion. It's cool that so many people are in to it and especially the folks who develope the great plugins that are out there, but for the average Joe, it's rediculous that he has to come here at all. I use the current crop of high end DSLR cameras, use photoshop and Nikon editing software and I don't have to go to a forum to use them. A music playing device should be much simpler than that.

Anyhow, I believe the sequence was something like this: Upgraded SBS to 7.4.1 nightly build, installed Squeezeplay, configured Squeezeplay to use the SB3 as player, installed the Queen app. Using Squeezeplay I added the album to the playlist and started playing. After that I could control the SB3 using its remote.

You probably can't remove it while being connected to SBS so please go to MySB, exchange the i for something else and then switch back to SBS. In 1.2.1 you will be able to remove the item also from SBS and long term the way it should be is this: https://trac.penguinlovesmusic.de/trac/ipengnat/ticket/134 -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It all works fine except occasionally I find that I'm stuck in Now playing mode (the three screen swipe) with no way to get out. The icon at the top of the screen is missing and hence there is no way to break out. Just wondering if you've come across that before. I'm going to try and reproduce to see if I can consistently make this happen as I'm not sure what is causing this at the moment. I've attached screen shots of the Now playing screens. regards Russ Ooops. That's bad. I believe this means that the menu from which you came when you entered NowPlaying is no longer there, but this should not happen because you can't switch players from anywhere other than NowPlaying. Weird. Or did maybe your player disconnect while you were browsing... but that should not be an issue. Please file a ticket as soon as you find a way to reproduce this.

The company is releasing new hardware and software and making lots of changes. Without addressing whether that has or hasn't been well managed lately, I don't get why so many people think it's ok to have a hissy fit to display their unhappiness. Do any of you work with customers? If so, you realize it is the ones who are polite and considerate that people make an extra effort for. You just want to blow off steam? This isn't the right place to do that. The company's employees are working hard to get things right, it isn't reasonable to be unfairly critical or impolite to them. Maybe a new forum is needed - for comments from teenagers with out of balance hormones, and older people who act in a similar way. If you want help or want to report a problem, why not do so politely? Are you unhappy and you want people to know about it? Fine, but why not be a bit more considerate of others when you express your views. Just to get things off on a better footing, I'll say to the company's people - Way to go, a lot of us really appreciate what you do. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Why so many rude comments?
While I agree that the excessive whinging and getting into name calling is silly, people have a right to be upset and unhappy. I work with customers everyday and also have the pleasure of dealing with less-than-pleasant customers when my work isn't up to snuff. That is life. However, It seems to me that the software was clearly rushed out the door to hit a corporate deadline. That said, I too appreciate everyone--slim employees and the developers on this forum--for all their contributions in sorting out the bugs. I've been a Slim customer for 4-years and my system has been running 24/7 until now. I made the mistake of rushing to upgrade--something I haven't historically done and am suffering the consequences. I can't even seem to find the recommended system requirement for 7.4 to check if part of my problem is that my server is underpowered. I think part of the struggle that Slim-Logitech is going through is that their target market has gone from a very tech-saavy, DYI/hobbyist community that was tolerant of hiccups in the development process and willing to spend hours tinkering with the product/software, to a broader consumer-oriented product that customers expect to work out of the box, without hours of tinkering or learning how to write code or posting logfiles. -- Slackerini Slackerini's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Why so many rude comments?
I work in product development and have done customer support. Our products are far more complex and we reach far further with each new model, but we can't bring out stuff full of obvious bugs as 7.4 appears to be. Here they have even changed their hardware and their new FW is causing all sorts crashes. I mean how can you produce FW for a very mature piece of hardware that doesn't even do that much and not catch things cause even routine operations to fail. Looks like they don't have a formal SW QA process. Maybe the difference is that they are selling to the public, while we sell to professionals. And frankly, since the invention of the personal computer we consumers have come expect things not to work, and to get lousy support. The computer industry exploits that to the max. I have never dealt with an industry that has such lame support and ships such obviously flawed products, well except maybe GM in the '70's.

Well, you obviously need WiFi to get your iPod touch connected to your network. Apart from that, your iPod doesn't have to talk to the Squeezebox directly, it needs to talk to the server, which is either Squeezebox Server (SqueezeCenter) or MySqueezebox.com (SqueezeNetwork). The only thing you have to make sure is that your server is on the same subnet as your iPod or the server autodetection doesn't work (e.g. NOT 192.168.0.x vs. 192.168.1.x) but that's usually the case for standard installations. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68951 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Change for change's sake is bad
Email is fine for upgrade or new product announcements but don't clutter my Boom clock radios with it. Ever see a Boom go out of sync with its front panel or remote? You might be trying to adjust the volume but it appears not to respond. A minute later it is blasting at full volume because it queued up all the key presses. Last time I had this problem there were issues at the Logitech end. If there are problems on their network causing this type of degradation that impedes the operation of the player, I would like the front panel display to alert me so I can decide whether to alert Logitech or ride it out. Thats a useful notification. In a mixed system, I have diffrent expectation of a Boom than a Transporter or Duet. I want the Boom to function as basic internet radio that does not wake me up with the ghost of removed alarms. When my wife turns the volume knob, she expects the volume to increase (exactly then) And the players, I just want them to stream reliably. Are we there yet? Don't care about keeping up with the Joneses. Otherwise I prefer the upgrades and 'innovations' to be transparent to me. Why should my Boom self-update its firmware unless I ask it to or grant permission? The 7.4 document on the web site suggests it is necessary to upgrade to 7.4 to connect to your network but the Boom firmware self-updates and reverts when you switch back and forth between connection types in the presence of 7.3.3. So what exactly does 7.4 install package do for Boom beyond stopping the firmware swapping frenzy? If you want to make the Boom do something useful in response to connection status, why not have the Boom fall back to your network when SC is off or to SC when your network is degraded? Since there are no separate provisions for upgrading individual products, you are forcing users to upgrade them all at once. Upgrade to solve a problem in one unit (dismal Duet behavior) got me rebuffering issues on my Transporter. Perhaps a consumer should only own one type of Logitech product and then all would be well. It could all be explained in a Wiki.

Re: [slim] Why so many rude comments?
I think a few people are not thinking before they leap. One does not HAVE to upgrade to SBS 7.4, unless one buys a Radio. SBS 7.4 IS REQUIRED for Radio. Having said that, SBS 7.4 HAD to be released as production or Radios could not be released and sold. The change is then due to Radio, so if one doesn't have one don't upgrade unless one wants to take advantage of the Controller updates that are included in SBS 7.4 also. And I will end with I personally haven't had any issues upgrading to SBS 7.4 but that doesn't mean that others might have to make an adjustment or two.

[slim] Apple Airport Extreme w/ Guest network: problem with accessing SB server with iPeng
Wasn't sure if this was best posted here or on the Apple forums. I recently bought a new Apple Airport Extreme router. I'm replacing an older Airport Extreme. This time I created a Guest Network which lets me have what I assume is basically a virtual secondary network for guests to use and my iPhones/ipod. On their own, they seem to be working great. I have static ip (10.0.1.?) addresses for everything on my main network, and DHCP (171.???.???.???) on the guest one. Here's my problem which I only discovered because of the iPeng iPhone app. I recently bought the newest version (1.2) and it works great if my server computer and the phone are on the same network. But, I want the iPhone to be on the guest network and leave the server on my main network. I tried adding all variations of the server's ip address as the instructions describe (10.0.1.2, 10.0.1.2:9000 and http://10.0.1.2:9000) but apparently because the iphone is on the guest network, it isn't letting me do it. The question: Can I access a device/computer on a different wireless network? And how is it done? I realize now that if this is possible, I could have a lot more devices on my guest network so I don't add more ip conflicts on my main network. Thanks!

[slim] 7.4 not happy - gone back to 7.3
I have installed 7.4 twice and I have found some problems and am not happy with it. First off I am running SqueezeCenter on Windows Server 2008. On 7.3 it works without a problem with Music IP running as a service on my Windows 2008 Server. On 7.4 it stops while importing from the Music IP Library with an unexpected error has occured. Also I listen to a lot of music through the Duet Controller. On 7.4 I click timeouts and clicks and loss of audio all the time. Every few seconds, including some rebuffering messages. On 7.3 I never have any of these. I removed 7.4 and installed 7.3 and everything works, but I do have these issues on 7.4 Has anyone else experienced this? I also found that the SqueezePlay was sort of corrupted saying it was wanting to connect to Server which was what I originally named my Library when it was 7.3, but with 7.4 I replaced it with Chris's Music I found that you could sometimes get a choose player menu item and then I could find the right library and other times it was missing. Also every time that the DUET controller restarts I would get a message saying I have just upgraded to 7.4 and have to click on Continue. I restarted it about 10 times - still the same message every time. I will post some bugs tomorrow but I really do not want to go back to 7.4 at the moment since 7.3 is working so well for me. -- iisfaq iisfaq's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32756 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
