I bought my first slim devices squeezebox a long time ago - back in 2006
- before music streaming over the internet was really a thing. It was
revolutionary. I ripped all my cds, and listened to music that I hadn't
heard for ages. Over the years, my wife and I and my 4 kids have used it
On SC 7.0 I've found that any tracks without an artist tag wont show up
on the Controller.
Haven't tried newer versions (because upgrading is rarely worth the
hassle).

I got a bit sick of SC 7.0 erratic WOL behaviour, so I wrote a
Controller applet to wake my server. Works every time, but connecting
to the server after it wakes can sometimes take a little while.
If there is any interest I can post it.

Its possible I had a PSU fail after 1 year.. same symptoms as above..
PSU seemed to output 5v under no load..
Because it was under warranty Logitech replaced the whole SB3.

(hopefully) its not because I'm
clueless.
And like you, I am not saying I dont like the product. I use my SB3
every day, both for internet radio and listening to my music
collection. I still think it is the most useful thing I've bought in
the last 10 years.

I thought the SB polled for the server continuously anyway.. so it
should find the server as soon as the server machine is up and running.

Perhaps it is differences in the buffer size.

I'm an IT geek.. and have slim running on my server at home (yes I
really do have a home office). Also comfortable fiddling with things.
but if there was one, I would buy a NAS product from slim devices that
ran slimserver properly and didn't require fiddling.

Surely it isn't hard to put this in as a transcoder for slimserver.

I tried stopping the server, deleting the cache, and doing a full

Any thoughts?

this issue.. but I just
dont see why they are necessary. I would have thought the squeezebox
was a passive network device.. in that when it isn't in use it just
sits there.. not impacting in any way on your network..
But I agree that the keepalives have an extremely minimal impact.

Cool.. thanks for finding that bug report.. I forgot to search the bug

Thanks too for the reference to the VB script.
If I have time I'll look at writing a plugin to prevent standby in
Windows. Until then.. I'll leave my computer on.

I thought it was a bit more sophistocated than that.. Some applications
prevent standby (eg the machine doesn't go into standby if iTunes is
playing music.. ).
But you may well be right.. I thought there might be a setting
somewhere that let network activity prevent standby..
