I actually think this is the one Sonos feature that surpasses anything on LMS, you can use a Sonos line in to stream to any other Sonos zones which is nice. Personally I use Airplay but with all 3rd party hardware. My main playback devices are O2 Joggers running squeezeplay and Sharply and I then have an app called AOA (Airplay on Android) which requires a rooted device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nav.aoaservice Another option is to connect an Android device directly to your stereo, if you have a spare device use that and then run a remote app to control it from your main device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ubergrund.android.mr5 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] IP question - maybe? - trying to get an SB1 to find the server
Hi folks, I've recently added to the 'SB' family, and it's meant some relocating of players. One of them, an SB1, seems to go through the setup routine OK, until a stage when it says it can't get an IP address for the server and that I need to add that manually. (It then says 'setup complete', but when I press the right arrow again it says it can't contact the server. The IP address on the SB is 192.168.000.011, when I come to the PC itself, and check the IP address in the 'network details' tab, I get 192.168.0.11. This IP address is also the one displayed when I open the 'Netgear Genie' software which allows me to look at the network map (Windows won't create a network map as it says the response from some devices is delayed or there's an incompatible router.) Although there are a few extra 'zeros' in the IP display on the SB, I'm assuming that it makes no practical difference? For info, if it helps, I'm running a Windows 7 machine. Here's the info on the LMS install: Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.3 - 1375965195 @ Mon Aug 12 11:14:33 CUT 2013 Hostname: MacNeill-PB IP: 192.168.0.11 HTTP Port: 9000 OS: Windows 7 - EN - cp1252 Platform: 8664 Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1) Total Players Recognized: 3 ..but - it's been working fine and very stable for ages, so I don't think it's a LMS issue. In an ideal world there would be 5 players recognised + a Controller. This post relates to the SB1; my next job is to go and wake the Controller and another Boom to see if they get picked up. Finally, where I think the real issue might lie is the network itself. We have a two-storey house. The floorboards have a metallised bubble wrap insulation underneath which I've felt has been causing wireless issues. So, I've got a Netgear powerline extender network in place. A couple of wi-fi extenders, and a couple ethernet only. The SB1 is wired into one of the ethernet ones, which is a new install. The netgear genie software shows the extender, and the lights on the extender are all green - but the player just isn't picking up the server. Any thoughts at all? I'll also say I'm one of those just like it to work people, not really comfortable or knowledgable in the guts of computer settings. Not an idiot (by my own reckoning!) just not something I get involved in often enough to retain the stuff I do learn on occasion. Thanks is advance!

[slim] Mixcloud-Nexus 7-Squeezebox possible?
Hi. There are a couple of music shows I really like that are available only via Mixcloud. Given that there is no Mixcloud plugin for Squeezebox, I can't stream Mixcloud music to my Squeezebox Classic or Touch. So, I currently send Mixcloud audio from my laptop computer to my hi-fi via an ancient XITEL HiFi-Link. I've been considering buying a Nexus 7 tablet. I'm wondering whether it would be possible to connect the Nexus 7 to my Squeezebox to play Mixcloud music or, failing that, connect the Nexus 7 to my hi-fi via a USB cable of some sort (the Nexus 7 has a micro-USB port). Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice.

Re: [slim] IP question - maybe? - trying to get an SB1 to find the server
Can you see what address the SB1 gets for itself ? (I hope it's not 192.168.0.11, since it looks like this is the address used by the SBS server.) Assuming the SB1 gets an address ok, and since the server seems to be a Windows machine, have you checked that the firewall is relaxed enough not to reject an incoming connection from the SB1 ? 4 SB 3 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) SqueezeLite Squeezebox Server 7.6.2 (Debian 6.0) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson Just Covers by Tom Kalmijn WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Local Player, BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100369 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] IP question - maybe? - trying to get an SB1 to find the server
Hi epoch, Thanks very much for your reply. I have made a bit of progress. Apologies too, because I realise that folk posting questions, then doing some of their own problem solving and basic checks must be a pain. I took the SB1 - it's IP address is 192.168.0.8 by the way, so not the same as the SBS - and plugged it into a different ethernet extender in a different location, and it picks up the network and the LMS/SBS fine. I've also got it to find the Controller and the 2nd Boom - so all good as far as the Squeezefamily is concerned. The issue is obviously something to do with that particular netgear extender. I'll try netgear support next, but if anyone has any experience with netgear powerline extenders, I wouldn't mind a hand. So, as I say, everything's good with the music!

[slim] SB3 IR Remote Control problem
Hi all, My SB3 has been working great until the other day when it was totally unresponsive to the remote control unless I pointed the remote almost directly at the SB3 (and this would only work if I was pretty much directly in front of the SB3). I blamed the server and switched to mysqueezebox.com - same problem. I have rebooted the SB3 and the server to no avail. At one point it seemed to repeat the last key pressed several times and kept scrolling up the menu items (and then rebooted). If I stand in front of the SB3 it works fine but if I point the remote slightly away, or I'm not in front of the SB3 it won't respond. Music still plays ok. I have tried turning off low energy lighting (which has been in place for about 3 years anyway without effect) but there's no change. Any ideas?

Just to confirm your assumption: additional leading zeros in parts of the IP address are not significant.

Bit of a cop out answer but have you tried factory resetting the SB? I've lost count of the times various devices have been cured of weird stuff like this by a reset or reboot. Also if I remember correctly the SB3 has an additional reset for an xlink reset that is worth a go if a factory reset doesn't solve it.

Sounds like batteries in the SB3 remote - I once had a similar remote problem and replacing new batteries was needed as new batteries weren't good for some reason. You can check SB3 IR with a digital camera - IR light will appear white.

Re: [slim] IP question - maybe? - trying to get an SB1 to find the server
Hi Reinhold, After I got the SB players all recognised and talking to the server, I started checking out the netgear kit and their forums. It seems that when it works it's OK, but that some of the stuff can be a bit flaky. I'm sure it can't be the best answer to networking the house, but running CAT5 cabling everywhere just isn't practical. I'm going to have to think about the best way to go forward. I'm considering a vortexbox appliance of some sort, and might be able to hard-wire 3 or 4 of the players, to try and make the set-up as 'bombproof' as possible, but there will be a couple of locations where getting cabling in just wouldn't happen without taking the walls down. back to the powerline stuff, it just seems as if some power sockets work with the kit; some don't; unfortunately if you find that 3 or 4 poor sockets are just where you want to locate your equipment, then there doesn't seem to be much you can do.
