Hello All,

I have had 4 or 5 instances of where a customer performs a clean install of SqueezeCenter 7.3.1, and after the second "CleanSqueezeCenter" step, the customers are still not able to pull up the SqueezeCenter GUI from another machine via the ip address (e.g xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000)

This is even after going to Streaming Media, and making sure that SqueezeCenter is checked and running.

However, as soon as the customer clicks the "Setup" button, they are able to connect.

Prior to 7.3, this seemed to work without the need to click this setup button.

Is this something that has changed with SC 7.3?

Please see the steps below:

To perform a clean install of SqueezeCenter on your ReadyNAS, try the following:

--Prepare by Gathering Necessary Files--

Download the following files from the ReadyNAS & Squeezebox download pages:

  1. CleanSqueezeCenter- found here: http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=94
  2. Radiator (ReadyNAS firmware)- latest version found here: http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=102 (ex. RAIDiator-4.1.4)
  3. Squeezecenter for ReadyNAS- found here: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html
     * Be sure to get the correct version of SqueezeCenter for your ReadyNAS. We have 2 versions: one for the ReadyNAS Pro specifically, and one for all other versions of ReadyNAS. 
  4. Place those files in a folder on your desktop. 

Run RaidAR, then click on Setup and login to the ReadyNAS Admin page.

--Update ReadyNAS Firmware--

On the Admin page, go to System > Update > Local tab.

  1. Click on Browse and browse to the folder you stored the files in earlier.
  2. Select the Radiator firmware file and click "Upload and verify image..." (ex. RAIDiator-4.1.4.)
  3. Once the file uploads, click on "Perform System Update".
  4. Once the update is finished, go to the Shutdown tab and select "Shutdown and reboot your device", then click Apply. 

Once your ReadyNAS restarts, log into the Admin page again and move on to the next step.
