BRIEF SUMMARY
SqueezeCenter stuck at 'starting'

DISCUSSION THREAD
RESPONSE (DANIEL E.) 08/25/2008 11:15 AM
Leopoldo,

Something is causing your server to crash it seems. What I'd like to try is running the server manually and capture error data to see if we
can see what's causing the crash. Try the following:

Windows Vista

1. Make sure SqueezeCenter is stopped. Right-click on the Squeezetray icon in the system tray and select "Stop SqueezeCenter".

2. On your PC, open a DOS window. To do this go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

3. In the DOS box, change directories to the SqueezeCenter install directory, in particular where the server executable is. The default is C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\Server. To change to this folder, type in: (each line is completed by pressing ENTER)

cd \

cd Program Files

cd SqueezeCenter

cd server

4. Next, type in:

SqueezeCenter.exe --debug server --logfile=C:\Squeezecenter.log

This starts the scanner manually with text output sent to a file. If it hits an error, the log will reflect it.

5. Lastly, can you email that log file to me? (it may be best to compress the log into a zip file, if you can.)

Once we receive the file we will review the log, and let you know what we find.

All required processes performed, still does not launch.

Noticed a single machine beep a few seconds after the squeezecenter is started. The process then stops moving forward and the program never launches

What now?

RESPONSE (TYLER) 08/22/2008 05:25 PM
Leo,

To perform a clean install follow the steps below.

1. Open Control Panel, then open "Programs and Features"

2. Scroll down to SlimServer, select it and click "Uninstall"

3. Restart Windows

4. Go to C:\Program Files, locate and delete the SqueezeCenter folder
- Click on the Windows icon on the bottom left of the screen
- Click on Computer
- Type the path above in the Address field
- Locate and delete the SqueezeCenter folder

5. Go to C:\ProgramData, locate and delete the SqueezeCenter folder
- Click on the Windows icon on the bottom left of the screen
- Click on Computer
- Type the path above in the Address field
- Locate and delete the SqueezeCenter folder

Note: If you receive any errors while deleting the two folders, SqueezeCenter may not have stopped properly. You can open up Task Manager by right clicking on the Task Bar then click on Task Manager. If you find Squeeze~1.exe, you will have to end it by clicking on it, then clicking on "End Process" at the bottom of Task Manager.

6. Download and install SqueezeCenter from:

http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html (http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html)

Once SqueezeCenter finishes scanning your music library, verify that everything is working by playing a file. You may need to update your player once you get connected.

Test to see if you are still running into the issue. If a clean installation doesn't resolve this issue, you'll need to configure Windows Live One Care.

Within your antivirus software, create exceptions for the following processes:
- SQUEEZ~1.exe
- SqueezeTray.exe
- mysqld.exe
- scanner.exe

Within your firewall software, open the following ports:
- 3483 (TCP) Squeezecenter Control
- 3483 (UDP) Squeezecenter Discovery
- 9000 (TCP) Squeezecenter Web

Let me know how that goes.

Regards,
Tyler, Logitech Support
