Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
Many thanks for that - it does work, but like all the switching methods I have tried (squeeze commander, SBS web interface) the receiver sits in a kind of limbo after the switch (i.e. not connected to either SBS or mySB) until I unplug it then plug it in again. Then it connects to whichever server was selected. Anyone else experienced this?, or have a workaround other than pulling the plug every time, which is rather tedious! -- chorister chorister's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48275 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88600 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
I don't understand why you would keep switching... if you have a proper SBS server, why not use it all the time?

Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
My SBS is on my desktop PC which isn't left on all the time. I was hoping that the SBR could switch to MSB when the PC is off. The other thing is that when the SBS (PC) is shutdown, the SBR goes blue (I know this is normal) but won't reconnect automatically when SBS is back online until unplugged/plugged in again. Anyway its not a disaster, everything still works with a bit of plugging/unplugging. Yes I could leave the PC on, or get a NAS...

Actually the squeezeboxes should switch to whatever server is configured and available while there should be a priority list if more than one server is configured. Also should display something like no server available if for example mysqueezebox.com and the own server(s) are not available. Don't know what seems to be so difficult to implement such a function and why lot of people need to switch the squeezeboxes manually. Really bad usability issue in an otherwise very user friendly and easy to use schema.

Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
Are you running some sort of firewall? My Duet was highly temperamental on switching and firewalling surely wasn't helping. Also I think I found relief once by removing the player from mySB and adding it again. You could try using the Server Power Control plugin (thread in 1/3 party plugins subforum) it tries to swtch players (including the Duet) and you should get menus on the remote to, eg switch to mySB and suspend the server.

Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
There is another bug with switching back: your server remembers the IP address of the computer, when the server starts. If it changes later (because of a sleeping server and a router that later assigns a new IP) the server tells MySB.com its old address and the player tries to connect to this old address but fails. You can check if this is the case by calling ipconfig on your server computer to see its real IP address. Then enter the settings/information screen of squeezeboxserver to see what IP the server is showing you. If its different indeed configure your router to assign a static IP to your server. I created a bug report about that just yesterday but am on the road right now and can't look it up. -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.

Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
Normally it should not be a problem for the receiver to find the server again after a server reboot, it should not stay blue but shift to dull white, this works for most of us ? Assuming you have choosen the reciever as a player on the controller, if press my music does the reciever then finds the server ? This suggest some oddity in the network setup . I have always done just that, turned off the server and powered it up again later, all my players and controllers have then found the server again, no problem . But I use a very simple network (192.168.1.x , 255.255.255.0) and use static ip on everything stationary . My router is the old linksys WRT54GL with tomato fw, no internal firewall family filters (urgh) guest networks or other stupidities that makes it more confusing and harder to setup and a bunch of switches, most stuff conects thru the switches . Things to try if you want to tinker a bit. Set the server to a true static ip adress (when doing that, adjust the routers dhcp range so that it can not give out used adresses ). Set players and controllers to true static ip, requires more tinkering, but search the forum for instructions . You may need to describe your network to see if someone has any insights . Some people that set up their receiver with netudap has described similar problems ?

Re: [slim] Switching Between Server MySqueezebox.com
Thanks for all the suggestions: you are right it was a network issue all along. Maybe because I was using UDAP and not the SBC for setup. Anyway problem was solved by: - assigning static IP to SBS and SBR via the wifi router interface - setting lan_ip_mode=0 - setting the lan_gateway to the router IP address - setting network_lan_address to the SBR static IP So now it is automatically connecting to SBS when the PC is rebooted, and the switching between SBS and MSB is going smoothly. Again, many thanks for all the suggestions (and apologies that we ended up a bit off topic).

Would be nice to be able to switch from within SBS interface. To go from SBS to mysb on the SBS web interface, simply go to the left-side pane and select Extras Music Source mysqueezebox.com. To go back from mysb.com to SBS, first disconnect the player from mysb (do-able via the Players tab on mysb.com), then use the drop-down menu on the upper right of SBS to pull the player back to SBS.
