Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I suspect that it was an issue of not having the keys. Without a keyboard the only way to pick a letter is to scroll through them. With the acceleration it's faster to just scroll through the list than to select letter mode (however that could be done), then scroll through the letters, select the one you want, then scroll through the library starting at that letter to get what you wanted. -- Bizarroterl Bizarroterl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13250 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
The good news is that I received my duet last week and installed it over the weekend. This is in now working fine. The bad news is that only one set of UK adapters were shipped with the package, so I could recharge the controller or power the receiver. After a bit of hunting I found another adapter from my blackberry charger, so all was well. Calling the Logitech help line was unconvincing that this will be resolved so I liberated another addapter from work. They wanted me to send the package back so I could have a new one. But I think anybody receiving these units should check that there are two sets of adapters for the two power supplies in the package. -- DaveBrennan DaveBrennan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6357 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I am thinking about getting a Duet. I am a little concerned about a comment on the Amazon UK website though, quote: -'I bought a Duet to supplement my Squeezebox 3. To my chagrin the range of the wifi for the receiver with the Duet is considerably less than for the older Squeezebox. The result is that I cannot stream music except within the room where the router is located. At anything over 40 feet away there is no reception, where the previous model plays clearly sixty feet away. Normally you expect newer models to be better, not in this case. It is a shame because otherwise the Duet is awesome. I have about 600 CDs ripped losslessly to my hard drives and the sound through the Squeezeboxes to my hifis is indistinguishable from the CDs themselves. If you have a small house or apartment go ahead just don't expect to stream through any distance.'- My intention is to have my Duet two floors down from my wireless router to replace my SB3 which I will move to a different part of the house, so I am a bit concerned about this comment - should I be? -- Butane Bob Butane Bob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Edit: I forgot to respond to your real question: Yes, you can control the SBR with wifi-enabled devices the same way you can control the earlier SBs. Ok let me elaborate. I use SB 1/2/3 and control them via various touch screen WiFi units. I am 100% happy using my own WiFi units as they replicate the whole of the slimdevices server screen and give me everything I need on one screen. Just me, but I prefer this to the new SBC, which if I purchased would only be used to sign on new SBRs. Ergo if Robin Bowes can work on a way to authenticate new SBRs via a PC I would be 100% happy and buy new SBRs to add to my collection (and likely upgrade older SBs).

(I assume it will be possible with the new remote?) The Squeezebox Receiver cannot be set up without a Squeezebox Controller, however Robin Bowes is working on a plug-in that would allow an SBR to be configured from a PC. Once an SBR is configured, it is controlled by SqueezeCenter (or SqueezeNetwork), so any product that can control SC or SN can control the SBR. Asuuming Robin's plug-in can change the music source for the SBR to SN, you would have to be sure to switch the music source BEFORE shutting down SC. The downside is that SN's interface is not skinnable like SC, so you'll need a device with a decent sized screen and good browser implementation. -= Jim -- JimC well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that. -- BKlaas' college buddy JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Can you explain in more detail? How would these need to be different from the sleep button on the remote for SB3 or the Sleep options under settings on the Duet Controller? -kdf On 20-Feb-08, at 8:11 PM, breakfastchef wrote: Any possibility of a sleep timer in the Duet, or the Sqeezebox 3 for that matter?

There's already a Sleep button on the SB3 remote (it looks like the edge of an eyelid with eyelashes, or like the bottom half of the Sun as my 5 year old draws it). It cycles through the possible times. And there's already a Sleep function in the Squeezebox Controller UI, under the Setting menu. Were you looking for something else? -= Jim -- JimC well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that. -- BKlaas' college buddy JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Mvg, Peter hoi je hebt 100% gelijk,alleen in mijn icub van focal daar zit een 20 bit dac in,dus ik denk dat ik eerst nog eens moet zien of de music fidelity dac beter is dan die in de icub zit. de prijs van de sqb 3 vond ik mooi en de duet was dan toch duidelijk duurder. http://www.hifi.nl/recensies.php?id=2400 kijk hier staat welke dac gebruikt wordt in de icub van focal,misschien heb jij er verstand van en advies wil ik altijd wel.

Perhaps now is as good a time as any to release a little more information about what I'm working on... I am writing a perl module that can be used to configure one or more SBRs. This requires a wired connection to the SBR and (obviously!) perl. There will be a CLI which can be used to do the configuration outside of SC. Separate to this, there will be a SC plugin that uses the module to do SBR configuration from the web interface. I hope to have a beta-release available within the next week or two.

Why you even have a quote from me on the testimonials page. :) Now please make plans on creating a stand-alone SBR. And I really will pipe down now (and apologies to all the others here for my rants). And if you send me (or allow me to purchase) a SBR, I'll be the first one to beta test Robin's plugin.
