Hi, Seems to me you have at least one issue possibly 2, maybe even more and plenty of doubt...
But the main 2 are: You've changed your LMS hardware (PC) and have doubts about the server build and Your player is crashing regularly - is it the player? or the new server build? So here's how I would handle this... First verify your server build *without* using your existing player, there are two ways to do this, fairly cheap or free. 1. Download SqueezePlay (free software based Squeezebox player) for your PC, install it and connect it to your server and spend some time testing and listening to your music via SqueezePlay on your PC to prove all is OK with the server build and music. 2. If you have a smartphone or tablet, buy iPeng or SqueezePad (IOS) or SqueezePlayer (Android), all can be used as players, (as well as excellent controllers), you can connect to your server and test as per 1. If you still have problems with either of the above then we need to fix those issues before moving onto your SB2 issues, so report back on what happens when testing with 1. or 2. above. Note at this stage I'll agree with previous posters that somethings not quite right with your scanner log, I've never used Onedrive, but I have seen issues posted here on the forum where someone was using a cloud based service that wasn't keeping all the files locally, maybe this is what's changed on your new build.., Onedrive hasn't locally cached (all) your music files and streaming (some of) them from the cloud is causing the SB2 to fail. So now let's say - all is well with the server and you are feeling happier to move forward with your SB2, so fix or replace? Some good advice has already been given re PSU and WiFi card fixes... But replacements... Yes buying used on eBay is an option, I have quite a few "spare" units I've picked up from eBay to give my system a future, prices vary from time to time and depending on model but they generally still hold a decent price which shows the continuing strength of the Squeeze ecosystem. There are also new options available in the form of Raspberry Pi builds emulating squeezebox players, have a look at Max2Play shop online https://shop.max2play.com/en/ to get some ideas of what's possible, there's plenty of help here in the forum on building your own if you want to have a play yourself, PiCoreplayer as well as Max2Play being good player setups on raspberry Pi's. If you wanted to you could also take it a step further with Raspberry Pi's, both of the above player solutions also run as servers - so no need to have that large power sucking PC chugging away in the background when you are sitting back relaxing listening to music - but I very much suspect that will be for another day. or you can cut your losses and head over to your nearest Sonos stockist, no idea what if any advantages that has, I last compared the two systems back in 2009, I went with Squeezebox and haven't looked back since, still one of the best "gadgets" I've ever bought (5+ players spread around my house). A couple of years ago I bought two used SB Radios and a Raspberry Pi and set up a system for my sister, ripped her music collection, she loves it, replaced her failing DAB radio and iPod Touch on a Bose Sounddock. A month ago I picked up an SB Touch and hooked that up to her TV Soundbar in her lounge, all her music in 3 rooms now for under £300 Hope the above helps Kev ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KeBul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108522
