Strange "syncDown_error" entry in log
Last modified: 2008-11-23 16:16:34 UTC
I get these error entries approximately in 20 minute intervals in the C:\ProgramData\SqueezeCenter\Logs\server.log file: ".. Slim::Networking::SqueezeNetwork::PrefSync::_syncDown_error (359) Sync Down failed: No such player: 00:04:20:07:80:98, will retry in 1650 .." Only once (after I tried to xsolve the issue by installing the 113 7.2.1 firmware for the SB3 again) did it report the exact same error syntax, but with a 576 code instead of 359. I should point the MAC identifies is the only SB3 in an environment that also includes 2 Sbooms and 1 Duet. Only the SB3 reports these, and that despite the fact that it seems to be operating flawlessly. I should also point out that the only reason why I checked the logfile was because suddenly I started to experience odd issues in SC responsiveness - I'd a loooooong initial reponse lag from whatever device I was trying to use. It seems that through reinstall of SC 7.2.1 I reset that issue, hwoever I wonder whether an accumulation of this reported error over a few weeks could cause the reponsiveness issue again (pure speculation). I attach my entire log file. The firmware update was done at about 9.21am, and I should note I was also doing stuff on the other devices only none of them reports anything worthwhile. Here also the status information in SC: SqueezeCenterSqueezeCenter Version: 7.2.1 - 23630 @ Tue Oct 21 07:44:57 PDT 2008 - Windows Vista - EN - cp1252 Server IP address: 192.168.1.10 Perl Version: 5.8.8 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt Platform Architecture: 586 Hostname: Pablo-ServerV64 Server Port Number: 9000 Total Players Recognized: 4 Player InformationName: Bedroom Model: receiver Firmware: 48 The IP address for this player is: 192.168.1.105:37747 The Ethernet MAC address for this player is: 00:04:20:16:30:f6 Wireless Signal Strength: 30 Name: GymBoom Model: boom Firmware: 33 The IP address for this player is: 192.168.1.29:16781 The Ethernet MAC address for this player is: 00:04:20:1e:12:54 Wireless Signal Strength: 87 Name: KitchenBoom Model: boom Firmware: 33 The IP address for this player is: 192.168.1.106:49443 The Ethernet MAC address for this player is: 00:04:20:1e:1b:80 Wireless Signal Strength: 46 Name: LivingRoom Model: Squeezebox v3 Firmware: 113 The IP address for this player is: 192.168.1.107:27880 The Ethernet MAC address for this player is: 00:04:20:07:80:98 Wireless Signal Strength: 73

Andy: your thoughts on this?
Since it was reported as a SqueezeNetwork complaint, I went and deleted the player from SqueezeNetwork, then added it again. The error has gone away since, and the log file now basically reports nothing for several hours. I find it a bit odd that (a) a Squeezenetwork poll makes it into the Squeezecenter log, and (b) that it only affected the SB3, and none of the other devices.
I suspect Alan should look at this...
Not a bug. This message should probably be reported as something other than an error so it's not confusing.
