Almost ready to file a bug report here.. First off, playing the same song that caused the SQB to enter the endless playing state at various positions in the playlist had no impact. flac -t on the file showed 100% correct. I tried the pause test as suggested in the previous post. I tested on

In the mean time I learned that the bug report already existed and was fixed for 6.5.x. Lately, the fix was merged into the 6.2.x branch. Resume now works for me, there are just some glitches with the time remaining displayed. See here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19322 --

Hm, just happened again. I paused inside a title. When I restarted after half an hour or so, the SB continued, but at the end of the song it did't skip to the next song, but played silence (time remaining 00:00 and so on). I use a static IP now for the SB so this is definitely no DHCP issue. --

Beef I suspect you're on to something with using Pause over an extended period of time. I experienced my only true issue with the device about 2 weeks ago. The device stopped playing, the screen on the device was pixellated and I couldn't reconnect to the network. It appeared that my MAC was

Richard, I wonder if there's a specific song that causes the player to get into this state. Do you have way to reproduce the situation? On Dec 14, 2005, at 5:02 PM, RichardG wrote: Well, I have another situation that is resulting in the slimserver / SQB ending up in a playing state

Tbis thread is not about the SB freezing/crashing/hanging in a deadlock that can't be fixed with remote or web interface. Indeed the endless playing state can be easily left by either remote or web interface. It's just that I would favor the SB not entering this state at all. -- 0xdeadbeef

Sorry.. got kind of caught up in my own problems. I did not mean to imply that your problem was for sure a DHCP problem. You might be having a situation where DHCP is causing some issues for you, but there could be something else going on. In my case, DHCP renegotiation was resulting in a new IP

Well, I have another situation that is resulting in the slimserver / SQB ending up in a playing state with no actual music being produced, and being stuck on the same song until some user intervention. I was *unable* to catch the condition with debug flags enabled. A post mortem reveals:

phew.. ok I think I got it. I am testing now. The problem is that DHCP is getting a renewal of the IP address, and this is killing the connection between the SQB and the server. And it does not come back without user intervention. Here's the analysis. At exactly 2005-12-12 16:54:48.9615, the

Hm, interesting... It just happened again to me by the way. Indeed the Squeezebox was paused in the first song of an album, but it was displaying the date/time during this period of inactivity, so I don't get why it should get a DHCP timeout. When resuming playback, it showed 00:00

Oh no.. I am seeing similiar problems accross a wide range of platforms with 6.2.1 code base. Seems that after playing continuously for a number of hours or days, the timers get screwed up and SQB fails to recognize that the song has ended. It will stay in the play state for many, many hours
