Description Chris Owens 2006-05-01 16:26:29 UTC

If I hold down the �brightness� button as though trying to upgrade the firmware, the remote control stops working.  The player must be rebooted to fix!

Comment 1 Andy Grundman 2006-05-03 12:49:45 UTC

Did some testing, this bug can be reproduced by:

Start SlimServer (6.3 or trunk).
Connect a player with firmware 48.
Hold brightness key.
Player reports "update_begin: bad state" and reboots.
After reboot, holding brightness does a correct upgrade to the same version 48.

Also related to this is: Player will lock up if firmware 48 file is missing.  This is probably only an issue if there is a player with a newer version than 48 on a SlimServer (or SqueezeNetwork) and the person tries holding brightness.  The server will try to send the same version the user currently has, but won't find the file and cause the player to lock up.  Player must be power cycled or the server restarted to fix.

The player will lockup if the firmware image is missing, but after some discussion it was decided that the slimserver/squeezenetwork should be configured to always have a new firmware image to send to the player. To fix the player not to lock up will allow possible unsolicited firmware upgrades to be sent to the player.

I run server: SlimServer Version: 6.5b1 - 8764 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 and I cannot get this problem to go away.  Rebooting the device does not fix the problem.  Right now I cannot use my Squeezebox 3!!!

If I should create a new bug instead of this, let me know.
