Bugzilla – Bug 2602
Squeezebox locks until next track
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:38:49 UTC
Random Occurance, not reproducable. SlimServer Version: 6.2.1 - 5179 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 About three times now the player has totally locked me out. Music continues to play but no remote control commands are recognized, including standby. Today this was when I increased the volume - display stayed locked on volume slider until next track. Before it has been when browsing music or navigating the menus. 1st time bug here - I have searched for "lock" and "freeze" but couldn't find anything like this - apologies in advance if I missed one - never found Bugzilla the easiest thing to search! aCM

This actually sounds like a network problem... What's your network setup like? If you're operating wirelessly, could you try using wired ethernet and see if this issue occurs at all?
Sorry, should have said. SB2 wired, into Netgear wireless router, which connects wirelessly to the PC, normally PC is on "excellent" to "good" wireless reception and the only times things get iffy is when a cordless phone is in use - which wasn't the case when the SB locked up. When the connection does dropped I do get the correct messae about trying to re-connect. Not this total lock up of the SB Alas, I was busy both the last two times, so couldn't check the PC. But I will certainly do so next time.
Please update to the soon-to-be-released 6.2.2 version and see if the issue reoccurs. The Squeezebox2/3 firmware has been updated significantly.
If you are still experiencing this problem please try using slimserver 6.3. If this does not help then please reopen the bug and we will investigate further.
