Player stops playing in middle of playlist
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:10 UTC
I have a Squeezebox 3 wireless player. Quite frequently, I am in the middle of playing a CD when the player will just stop at the end of one of the tracks. The display still says "Now Playing", but it does nothing. I have to hit the Fwd button on the remote to make it continue with the next track. For instance, I was just playing a CD with 11 tracks. It stopped right at the end of track 4. I'm wondering if it's related to losing connectivity with the server. For some reason, right now the wireless signal seems lower than normal. Let me know if you need more info or a log file. I didn't see anything that looked like a log in the server directory.
Similar problems for me running 4 Wireless SB2s. Had assumed that it was a wireless issue cause a friend is running the same software with wired units with no problems. It doesn't just stop at the end of a song it can stop anywhere within the song. Not all the players suffer at the same time but they are all independant of each other (not synched). Having said this I've had a player running for three days without any problems where other players will lock up within minutes. Then for no reason whatever the player that's been OK starts playing up. Not one of the players has not suffered this problem but some seem more temprimental that others. The wireless network is running off a Linksys WAP54G router with V3 firmware. The Slime Server is running on it's own PC with XP SP2 and even with all players running its only running at 40% CPU capacity and there is plenty of HD space. Signal strength is between 60% and 80% (although this does vary) but have run the test feature on the SBs and can get 1000Kbs as a minimum at 98% at all players Another issue is that the display fails, i.e. all the scree lights up so nothing can be read and this requires a reboot to fix the problem (sometimes it's just a matter of switching the unit off to fix)
All - can you please try the latest 6.2.2 nightly builds with Firmware 43 or greater? I believe this should be fixed. Thanks.
Please reopen if you can reproduce. Thanks
Fixed in 6.2.2. Thanks!
