Description Felix Mueller 2005-03-07 01:13:07 UTC

SB2 wired to network. If I disconnect the ethernet cable, the 'Connecting to
SlimServer...' message shows for a short while and then the display goes dark.
Looks fine. If I then reconnect the cable and press a button on the remote, SB2
reconnects. Looks ok to me too.
But if I just stop SlimServer the 'Connecting to SlimServer...' message stays on
forever or at least until I restart SlimServer.
Revision: 2347

Comment 1 Blackketter Dean 2005-03-21 17:12:53 UTC

Fixed for tonight's nightly build.  Please confirm.

Comment 2 Felix Mueller 2005-03-23 14:21:46 UTC

Sorry to tell you it's not fixed, at least not in
my setup. I'm on revision 2692 and the firmware
that came with it. SlimServer runs on Linux.
Whenever I kill SlimServer the 'Connecting to
SlimServer...' message will show up and stay.

Comment 3 Felix Mueller 2005-03-24 09:51:38 UTC

Also, if SB2 is playing when SlimServer gets killed
the current song plays out, while the message states:
Connecting to SlimServer...

Comment 4 KDF 2005-03-24 09:53:18 UTC

I believe the playout is by design.  There was a change last night so that
players are unconditionally stopped on reconnecting.

Comment 5 Blackketter Dean 2005-03-24 12:28:06 UTC

fixed for next nightly.  The song playing out behavior is correct, because it
may be that the server is only temporarily out of touch.

Comment 6 Vidur Apparao 2005-03-24 12:57:26 UTC

There's a small problem that we'll get for 6.01:

1) SlimServer disconnects and display "Connecting to SlimServer..."
2) After 10 seconds display blanks out. 
3) SS restarts and reconnects - everything's good so far. 
4) SS disconnects again and the display goes straight to blank rather than
displaying the "Connecting to SlimServer..." message.

Fix checked in to IP3k trunk.
