Hello all, I'm having some problems running my Duet with Ubuntu 8.04.1 and SqueezeCenter 7.2 in an "all-wireless" configuration (server wireless signal strength = 89-91%, Receiver in same room as router so estimated >95% signal strength).
Firstly, and most importantly, I have just performed a hardware reset on both the Controller and Receiver after having problems connecting everything together in wi-fi land. Everything now appears to be seeing everything else, but I'm only getting 10-30 seconds of flac playback before the audio stream grinds to a halt. At this point the Ubuntu System Monitor continues to show a network transmission rate of around 40KiB/s even though the audio output of the Receiver is depressingly sporadic (<1s bursts every 5-10 seconds) and I have no other programs running in Ubuntu. This reported network traffic continues for about 30 seconds after pausing the audio playback. The problem occurs whether I use the Controller or the SC web GUI to initiate playback, however 256kbps CBR mp3's seem to play fine. I will eventually be getting a Homeplug/Powerline system, which should provide a more reliable connection between server and Receiver, but I was previously running the Duet with a WinXP system and SqueezeCenter 7.1 with no problems. Can anyone shed any light as to why I could be seeing this issue? Secondly, I have the Ubuntu GUI disabled by default on startup to reduce boot-up time (as per 'this thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52840&page=2)). However, the wi-fi connection doesn't appear to connect unless I load the GUI, which obviously defeats the point. Is there any way of fixing this, or should I just live with it until I get my Homeplugs? Any help gratefully appreciated! -- shadesbass ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shadesbass's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53152 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
