Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?

2011-03-11 Thread Phileas

I’ve been experimenting.

My problems did not start as soon as I upgraded to 7.5.3 but within a
day or two, so I haven’t been able to pin the problems on that. I
reverted to 7.5.2 but this did not resolve the issues.

I was getting the “can’t find server ” and the server log had lots of
“connection dropped..can’t find player..retrying in 300 secs”.

Just to confuse things, I also discovered a problem with one of my
homeplugs. However, removing this did not restore things.

So I had a hunch based on a very vague notion. I wondered if the SB3
power supply which was plugged into the same double wall socket as the
homeplug (this was a change to my set-up) could be affecting it
somehow.

I’ve run some experiments in which I left the SB3, in different network
configurations, playing continuously on repeat through the night and
during the day. I then checked the server log to see if there were any
reports of dropped connections.

Results:

PC  Ethernet (via homeplug plugged in to socket eight feet from SB3
plug)  Router  Ethernet  SB3 -No dropouts 
PC  Ethernet (via homeplug plugged in to socket eight feet from SB3
plug)  Router  WiFi  SB3 -No dropouts 
PC  Ethernet (via homeplug)  Router  WiFi  SB3 (plugged into ext.
lead from homeplug wall socket) -No dropouts 
PC  Ethernet (via homeplug)  Router  WiFi  SB3 (plugged into same
wall socket as homeplug) -drop outs within a couple of minutes.

In summary, these results seem to support the idea that the proximity
of the SB3 power supply to the homeplug was having a negative effect on
the network. But whether they are also partly server software version
related is not ruled out.

I run SBS 7.4.2 repeat: 7-four-2 with the latest firmwares for my SB3s
and Boom.
All players are wired.
Since I upgraded to fw 132 on the SB3 (fw version included in 7.5.3) my
SB3 can fail to read files from time to time. Once the player has stop,
I can press play again and get the track to play.

This behavior is new. Before the upgrade I was running fw 131 and
didn't notice such a problem.

Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?

2011-03-10 Thread w3wilkes

Initially I had no trouble with 7.5.3 with my Duet, wireless network,
but as time goes by things have gotten much worse.

Initially installed back when it went RTM and thought all was well,
this was on W7 x64. Player worked fine.

A couple of weeks later I did W7 SP1, had a initial connect problem,
did a reset on the player/controller and reconnected and again was
happy. Found that occasionally when I rebooted the PC I'd have to again
reset player/controller to hook back up to my SBS server.

Then about a week ago I upgraded Avast to 6.0.1000 and that's when the
grief really started. I did get the controller/player to connect to SBS
and initially thought all was well right up until a couple of days ago
when I rebooted the PC. Tried and tried to get things to connect and I
just couldn't get it to go. I could get the player to connect to the
network (blue light), but that wasn't even consistent. Usually the
player would hang after a reset at bright yellow.

After checking out these forums I saw I wasn't alone in having trouble
with 7.5.3 and after reading several posts I decided that I'd go back
to 7.5.2.

I wish I could say that the fallback was painless, but it wasn't. After
installing 7.5.2 I still couldn't get my player to connect, it would
still hang on bright yellow. I then tried connecting the player via
ethernet. Got a IP from the router (blue light), but still couldn't get
it to connect. I then decided I'd take more drastic action, fully
uninstalled 7.5.2, deleted remaining SBS directories in both Program
Files and Program Data directories and completely removed Avast.

At this point I installed 7.5.2, tried a reset on the player/controller
and tried to get it configured and connect wirelessly, but this was
still a nogo and would hang at blue light on the player. I then
connected the player via ethernet and tried again. Bingo! Player
connected to my 7.5.2 server and immediately asked to go back to 7.5.1
r9009 which I did. Disconnected ethernet, did reset and was able to get
things set up wirelessly.

At this point I reinstalled Avast 6.0.1000 rebooted and things all
hooked up great (so I thought). Went to play some music which started,
but after a second or two the player dropped connection to yellow then
green then back to blue, but didn't connect to the SBS. Did a reset and
configure on player and got it right back to connected to SBS. Started
to play music and it dropped off again just like the first time.

I then went to the W7 firewall and now have 3 separate rules. One
outbound to allow SBS to do what it wants with any protocol on any
port. 2 inbound to let SBS do whatever it wants. 1 inbound that allows
TCP on all ports local and remote and another inbound to allow UDP on
all ports local and remote.

With all these changes I seem to now have my stable platform back! Been
running for 2 days with no issues including reboots of PC running SBS
and I don't have to mess with anything.

With all of this I'd say 7.5.3 has some connectivity issues. Those
issues seem to go from not so bad to really bad when 7.5.3 is on W7 SP1
with Avast 6.0.1000. All seems to work just fine running SBS 7.5.2 with
W7 SP1 and Avast 6.0.1000.

Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?

2011-03-09 Thread chris.mason

I've posted in another thread about wireless DHCP issues with 7.5.3 and
7.5.4.

But I am also seeing the same issues that are being listed here -
frequent disconnects, SB3 and Boom rebooting or hanging, regular
drop-outs etc.

The drop-outs are interesting, as when it starts happening, it occurs
every 30 seconds.  I'm wondering if the recent firmware updates
designed to reduce the network traffic to Mysb.com and make the client
units do more work has had unintended consequences.

I'm running a Boom and SB3, both over wifi using WPA2.  Both devices
configured to use static IP addresses.
SBS 7.5.4 r31995
UBUNTU 9.10

I'm going to try some router adjustments, such as the channel in use,
and the kind of security to see if that helps, but I don't believe that
is the issue (why should it be?  nothing there has changed).
Also, I need to try a completely vanilla install, with no prefs set up,
no plugins, and compare that.

Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?

2011-03-09 Thread Phileas

I posted most of the following in another thread.

I've been having problems since 7.5.3.

I've reverted to 7.5.2 and now to 7.5.0 without success.

I believe at least one other user was still having problems even after
reverting to an earlier version.

I've managed to get my SB3 playing music without dropping the
connection by ethernet cable. However, it seems that it no longer likes
my homeplugs, even though these are working fine for internet access.

So something has changed but I can't with absolute certainty pin it on
the update.

I've tried xlinix.

Currently I'm trying using the homeplug in a socket far away from where
the SB3 power supply is plugged, in case that is somehow affecting it!
It's OK so far but needs a longer test to prove anything (you can see
I'm grasping at straws here!)

It's so frustrating - I've had no problems like this since buying my
first Squeezebox well over two years ago.

Thanks, I know you mean well. However, going back to 7.5.2 worked for
many people but it didn't work for me and a few others, so I don't have
any particular confidence in 7.5.4 either.

So far this evening I've had no dropped connections so I don't know

Hmmm if going back to 7.5.2 didn't help and before you upgraded to 7.5.3
you didn't have any problems, then this must be something from outside.
Either that or the installation of 7.5.3 upgraded something 7.5.2 can't

But 7.5.4. actually have two fixes for exactly those problems you are

The start of my problem didn't coincide exactly with my upgrading to

I run 7.5.3 on Linux - maybe the instabilities are platform dependent?

No, but:

My weekend routine for a while has been to use Dynamic Playlists with
Never Played Albums all night long.  Since 7.5.3, it's common for it
to work for a couple albums, then stop.  Usually it adds an album, but
then either just stops without playing it at all or only plays the last
track and gives up.

I use a separate instance of SBS for the weekend, so it's definitely
not a case of there not actually being any Never Played Albums.

 changes the firmware back again.
 
 Annoying!!

This is because when you connect to mysb.com it updates to latest
firmware. Just leave your computer running SbS on 24/7 and you'll be
fine. No need to ever connect to mysb.com.

+1
And note that it's not done deliberately to annoy you. Firmware
upgrades and server software upgrades go together, although not
strictly one-for-one because some SBS upgrades don't require upgrading
firmware and vice-versa. But 7.5.3 required a firmware upgrade, and
mysb.com will always be running the latest official release of SBS.

2011-02-28 Thread ModelCitizen

Since I upgraded to 7.5.3 and then de-graded back to 7.5.2 my Boom and
Classic lose their network connection nearly every day and I return
home from work to find that interminable message on the screen telling
me to use the bank button to attempt to reconnect. Hitting the back
button does nothing. Nor does hitting the play button. Touching a
volume button brings up the main home menu and all is good again.
.
What is going on with my once nearly reliable set-up?

I had the same problem with the update and roll back process. I stumbled
across 7.5.4 which seems to be stable, and stopped the update screen.
As a side note I also tried 7.6, which seems really cool. I could
control the boxes from my netbook, but I also had some scanning and GUI
issues, and it may be too early to go that route, for me anyway.
Good luck.

I had problems with 7.5.3, specifically the alarm would not function
reliably with a synchronized group of players. I took avta's advice to
try 7.6 and it works great.

I'm using a Synology 1010+ NAS (with SSODS4 4.11 to run SB
7.6.0-31915).  With 7.5.3 and lower it took 40 min to do a 'clear
library and rescan everything' on 20K tracks. The PC (with Ubuntu) I
used prior to the NAS had performance.  First clear rescan with 7.6
took 8:40 - I didn't believe that was correct so I redid it and the
second time was 6:20, that's 6 times faster!  In addition the web
interface is much more responsive and all the issues I had with
SqueezePlay are gone, save a barely noticeable sync delay.

I think you did it correctly if everything is working OK! I downgraded
SBS to 7.5.2 (r31632) and my Radio and Touch show 7.5.1 r9218. The
controller, however, shows 7.5.3 r9283. When I try a software update on
it, it says it is up to date! Being the heap of sh1t that it is, no
surprise there. 

Everything works just fine now though, so I have turned off software
update notification. I have decided life is too short to waste any more
time fiddling with Squeezebox products (I have far too many of them).
It's working and I will leave it alone till something breaks. (or I see
universal acclaim of a future  update).

I am surprised there has been no response to this problem from the

There are similar postings on the Logitech forum, one person saying

In my case reverting to 7.5.2 has restored normality.

2011-02-20 Thread Fahzz

So when I saw this new update, I waited a week or so, and since I didn't
see anyone reporting problems on the forum, I gave in to temptation and
downloaded 7.5.3.  Within hours my system started having various and
sundry issues, and I knew I was in trouble when I subsequently saw that
many others were in the same boat.
I rolled back to 7.5.2 (I think). The server says 7.5.2 but diagnostics
on the controller reads: Firmware Version 7.5.1 r9009. Is this what it's
supposed to say?
The duet is working, so something changed, but I also remember that
there were problems with and earlier update before 7.5.2. I don't
remember which one, and I don't want to relive that experience.
Can somebody confirm that I did it properly? Thanks!

My trouble with 7.5.3 is when I sync two players. It works fine for some
time and then suddenly the slave stops playing and won't do anything
before it has either been resynced or starts on something else.
The logfil show that the slave player suddenly thinks that its time is
10 millions years behind the other player and then it just quit. 
At first I thought it was the WHS-server time that was wrong, but it is
not. And it started as soon I upgraded to 7.5.3 so I guess I will
downgrade this weekend.

Well, for what it's worth, I finally upgraded to 7.5.3 r31792 yesterday
and have been having no problems of any sort.

I am running this as vanilla as it is possible to do.  SBS is running
on my little Acer Netbook, and connecting via WIFI directly to my Boom
across an ad hoc Win7 network. There is nothing else on the network,
and no router involved. I'm on vacation, and this is my music source. 

Assuming my problem-free status continues, this implies that the issues
folks are having relate to more involved elements of their setup.

Or that your particular usage pattern doesn't trigger the problems that
some of us are seeing.

Like synchronization, which you are not using with one player, or
transcoded internet radio which you may or may not be using.

This is actually the first time I've had to revert to an earlier
version, running every version since 7.2, and doing so has restored the
stability.  It's not like I run a particularly convoluted setup - I have
a Debian Linux machine dedicated to Squeezebox Server with as minimal a
Linux installation as possible and wired ethernet to all my players.

Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?

2011-02-13 Thread aubuti

I've recently noticed some weirdness with 7.5.3, but haven't been able
to reproduce it reliably.

1) getting occasional brief ( 1 second) dropouts when streaming FLAC
over wired ethernet. Usually it occurs in the last 30 seconds or so of
a track. Once it starts doing it the dropouts occur more frequently.
Sometimes transitions to new tracks aren't smooth either, as if the new
track starts too soon. If I restart SBS these problems go away.

2) Last night I had an SB2 and Touch (both wired) sync'd, and suddenly
the SB2 stopped playing. Again, everything was fine after restarting
SBS.

Still need to try to isolate problems and check logs.

2011-02-13 Thread paulster

I keep finding problems with the CPU being pegged at 100% on internet
radio either when starting FAAD/FLAC or when synchronizing, so I've
gone back to 7.5.2.

Haven't had to revert to an older version from a 'stable' release
before.

2011-02-12 Thread AllenCk

I was having problems with 7.5.3 on WHS like Chewie was having. I found
that SBS on the server was pegging the CPU for 30 seconds or so
repeatedly. After trying to reinstall the software and the beta
version, I finally cleared the cache and preferences and the problem
disappeared. Only downside was that I had to reenter my favorites and
preferences.

2011-02-10 Thread andynormancx

I've also seen odd problems with 7.5.3, where the music just stops (and
the players won't respond) for several minutes and then continues as if
nothing is wrong.

I have my 3 Booms synced most of the time and when it happens they all
just freeze, showing whatever was on the screen at the time.

This is on a Vista server and I think it happens on just about any
source. I _think_ is has happened with local music, iPlayer and my Wave
Input source.

Well my supposedly 7.5.2 but advertises itself as 7.5.3 Squeezebox
server failed to make the radio play my chosen alarm this morning so I
received the intensely aggravating default loop instead. I am now
concerned that I am not running 7.5.2 or that something else has

 Anyone else notice a degradation in reliability since 7.5.3?
 
 This on Windows 7.

I have one instance on native Ubuntu 10.04 and am seeing:

1. Squeezebox 3 looks fine...I turn it on and try to go to the library.
I immediately get the Can't connect to server... message.  It
eventually goes away and everything works fine, as far as I can tell. 
I have not noticed issues once music from my library is playing, but
I'm usually playing it while I fall asleep, so I could be missing
something.

2. Alarm doesn't work with a dynamic playlist, I just get the
beep-beep-beep backup.

3. Radio Paradise seems to go silent fairly frequently.

I have another instance running on Ubuntu 10.10 in VMware under Windows
7 and am seeing:

1. Same Can't connect... issue as above.

2. I use this instance almost exclusively to play never played albums
via dynamic playlists/custom skip.  I've twice had it add a new album to
the playlist, immediately jump to the last track and stop without adding
anything new.

I have not had a problem with either instance when I specifically
select and play an album or track...typing this while listening to a
Touch right now without issue.

Others have brought this up with similar 7.5.3 connection issues.  It
seems to me to be very prevalent with Win7 or Vista or WHS.
I have not experienced this on 7.5.3 with XP.

Roll back to 7.5.2 seems to correct the issue.

I've had problems with my Transporter and SB3 running via the WHS
version. I upgraded and from then on kept getting the message Can't
connect to server.Left to go back, right to try again. This message
would appear for 30 seconds and then return to the normal display, then
30 seconds later the whole process starts again and again for 5 minutes.
This would happen once or twice an hour.

I've never had a single problem before, my signal strength for the
Transporter is 90% plus and 95% plus for the SB3.

Downgraded to 7.5.2 and the problem has gone away.

2011-02-07 Thread martin_sv

Previous versions of the squeezeserver software certainly have had their
share of issues but 7.53 is the first ever to crash whilst in use and
playing music. It's occurred about 6 or 7 times after my upgrade less
than 3 weeks ago. Also I get the failed to connect to server message
appearing and music stopping on 4/5 occasions. It then reconnects
without user intervention within a minute or so. I only upgraded to
7.53 because the sb3 would go blank when trying to access mysb.com as I
prefer to stay with what is working OK. ie older versions. So going back
to 7.5.2 doesn't seem an option. Is this the appropriate place to inform
logitech of these issues?

Re: [slim] SB release 7.5.3: Unreliable. Anyone else?

2011-02-07 Thread nicolas75

Same thing for me.

I have a squeezebox touch, mostly used with Squeezecenter running on
Windows XP SP3, or with mysqueezebox.com for radio streams when I turn
off the computer (or don't want to run squeezecenter).

The touch is wired to the router.
The first day using 7.5.3 was so awful that I was about to revert to
7.5.2
I was listening to a radio stream, and it stopped every ten minutes or
so.
Things are better now, but I still have problems.

Sometimes, playing still just stops, which is much worse than the
rebuffering problems I sometimes had with 7.5.2.
At least, after rebuffering, music started again.

I use alarm, but I always have also a a real alarm clock to be sure
to wake up.
Touch'alarm function is definitly not reliable.

I can only agree with ModelCitizen and I am surprised that it has taken
this long for anyone to bring it up. I just assumed it was me and I
wrestled with the problems for several days before reverting to 7.5.2.
All is much better but my Radio is still saying it's using 7.5.3
(although it still works).

Yet another partially tested Slim update is allowed out the door. So
sad.

My set up: W7 Radio,Touch,Boom,Duet with 2 receivers and an SB3.
