Bugzilla – Bug 168
synch via remote
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:53:41 UTC
When attempting to synch my S3 to a SB with the remote (Slim Devices), it takes multiple attempts to engage. The S3 display refreshes and the SB output stops, but the S3 still asks to press the right arrow key to synch. The SB does not resume playing until synch is actualy engaged. This situation does not occur if attempted via the web interface, nor does it occur when attempting to synch the SB to the S3. This has been the case since I first got the SB. I am using the 1/26 build, updated firmware, OSX 10.3.2.
Which remote are you using with the SLIMP3?
I am unable to reproduce this on Linux, wireless SB, wired S3. SB playing, I can sync up without issue by using the slim devices remote on the S3. Sometimes they can be off timing by a second or so, but I do not need multiple attempts to initiate the sync.
I am using a Slim Devices remote, not JVC or Sony. FWIW, I am on OSX 10.3.2, G4AGP/1GHz Powerlogix upgrade, 512 MB ram. My SB is wired, the S3 is wireless.
Has this been improved at all? I've still been unable to reproduce, myself. The worse I have ever had is a slip in timing when joining an already playing group. I've never had it not join.
For me, the only problem I have is synching a Slimp3 to a SB. It does sync, but it takes multiple attempts for the two players to engage. Syncing between two SB's is no problem whatsoever. Neither is syncing two S3's or a SB to a S3, only a S3 to a SB.
I've added Baron's comments here because 793's report seems to be two distinct issues, the first of which matches up better with this report.
Julius, is this still an issue?
It is fixed. Thanks.
