Re: [slim] Logitech servers down in the UK again?
I've come back from work after leaving the Touch unplugged all day, switched it on and found it very slow at connecting. In fact the second time I tried to connect via MySB I just got the spinning cursor. Third time I get 'Bad Gateway' and sure enough, on the Mac when I try to refresh MySB Favourites I get a '504 Gateway Time-out' error.

I create a FAVORITE on mysb.com with the URL of the hosted file, name it Gary's SbS Favorites, then it shows up as a favorite on mysb.com and when I select it, I have all the favorites, including folder structure.

Re: [slim] Logitech servers down in the UK again?
OK - just woke up the Touch after being on standby for several hours. Back at the top-level menu again with 'Favourites' missing. Checked wireless signal - showed 68% which then jumped to 80%. I can access streams using Tunein, but not MysB Favourites. Also, it had lost the name of the Touch and reverted to 'nil', which seems to happen every time this glitch shows up. This is all with the Mac asleep so I'm not using the LAN. I've unplugged the Touch again and will plug it in boot it up shortly. I'm betting it'll be back to normal again. So, surely if this was a wireless issue then I wouldn't be able to access streams at all? I don't think it's as simple as some seem to think.

Re: [slim] Logitech servers down in the UK again?
Thanks castalla. Your problem sounds very similar to mine, especially the Touch reverting to 'nil'. I also don't think it's as simple as wireless problems. If so, when nothing works via MySB, then why does the Touch work when I connect to my LAN? And, quelle surprise, everything back to normal after a reboot. I'm going to see what happens when I unplug the Touch when not in use. My guess is that it will reduce the chances of this happening again. It seems to encourage the problem if left on standby for long periods. A bit of a pain, but it's less of a pain than losing my Favourites or MysB!

Don't recall your setup, but could you connect it to your Router via ethernet (just temporarily as a test). You'll have to change the setup from WIFI to ethernet when you do that, it is not automatic from just plugging in the cable). This will test whether the issue is your player, mysb.com, or your WIFI connection (and possible interference with the WIFI).

The Touch is hooked up to the hi-fi in the living room, with the router in the study at the opposite end of the house. After another spell unplugged it's working fine at the moment. Even if I did have it connected to the router via ethernet there's no telling how long I'd have to wait until the problem starts again; it could be an hour, a day or a week, although today seems to have been the worst so far. So I'm reluctant to try this at the moment. I suppose I could just unplug it every time I'm not using it. I'd bet money on that curing the problem, but it's not really as convenient.

Well I *think* that there's a problem with MySB as I was getting 'Bad Gateway' and 'Gateway Timeout' errors a few minutes ago when trying to access my Favourites which are on MySB. The Squeezebox works when connected to the LAN and at present it can access the MySB Favourites via the LAN but it won't let me switch to MySB under the 'Networking' option in the Advanced Settings. So I'm a bit confused. Anyone else in the UK having problems? -- Nick_G Nick_G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89831 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm not liking the frequency of this erratic behaviour though. It may be an unfortunate coincidence but it seems to have increased in frequency since the overhaul to SBS 7.6... -- Nick_G Nick_G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89831 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Logitech servers down in the UK again?
I was just listening to a stream on my Squeezebox Touch a few minutes ago and it suddenly switched itself to standby, showing the clock display. When I woke it up I found that it couldn't connect to my Favourites, with the spinning cursor just going nowhere. I unplugged it and left it for a few minutes, rebooted it and now most of the menu items like Favourites, Accuradio, Shoutcast etc do nothing. The clock has vanished from the display on standby too. This is all via MySB. However, if I choose My Music and connect to my LAN all is well. Is this another MySB outage problem?
