Bugzilla – Bug 9799
Controller goes to red antenna
Last modified: 2008-12-15 12:08:37 UTC
Created attachment 4168 [details] log file - issue started around 12:08 7.3/r3173 - connected to a slow server aka readynas. Configuration has been happy for a few days, problems only started today. Latest change: addition of a second player to this server for the buddy's office next door. Today it happened several times that after playing a random album (RandomMix -> Album Mix) the antenna went immediately red. The following procedure which lead to this point might be unrelated and overly complicated, but here we go. It has happened twice: - two players connected to SC 7.3 - sync them - plug the power from one of the players - shut down/reboot server (without powering down second player) - start a random Album Mix on the Controller for the remaining player - restart a new mix as I didn't like the first -> Controller goes into Now Playing screen (correct), and antenna goes red
Is the controller still connected/working when this happens? I've seen cases where if my SC goes away and then comes back, the SBC will have the red icon, but will be connected and working properly. Not sure if this is the same bug or not...
In my cases the controller wasn't connected any more. It wouldn't change volume, update now playing information, browse etc. The IP wouldn't answer a ping any more neither. In one case I wasn't even able to shut down the Controller. It wouldn't react to any of the buttons, but only the wheel.
Reverted change to wlan modules in 7.3 r3215. Can you please report back if you still see this problem. I am leaving this bug open for the moment.
Related to bug 9004 ?
I'm not sure it's the same issue. What I've been reporting has only happened twice, and only after I had two players synchronised and rebooted the server with one of the players unplugged. Other than that my Controller is working fine with that really slow ReadyNAS.
Richard, is this one yours to fix? Ross thinks this is the same as the slow server bug. If so, please mark as duplicate
I believe this is fixed now, I have not seen this problem after the wlan driver was reverted.
It did it again (fw3309): Nov 10 16:54:26 SqueezeboxController user.debug kernel: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xffff err or, result=0xffff Nov 10 16:54:26 SqueezeboxController user.debug kernel: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xffff err or, result=0xffff Nov 10 16:54:26 SqueezeboxController user.debug kernel: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xffff err or, result=0xffff Nov 10 16:54:26 SqueezeboxController user.debug kernel: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xffff err or, result=0xffff Nov 10 16:54:26 SqueezeboxController user.debug kernel: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xffff err or, result=0xffff Nov 10 16:54:26 SqueezeboxController user.debug kernel: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xffff er
I'm worried about this bug. More information on how to recreate would be great. Is it really related to sync, because if so that makes very little sense.
fwiw, I saw red antenna a couple of times today, and I'm pretty sure I was working on sync at the time. I'll update with specific steps if I can reproduce it.
James - this is the issue you've seen a few days ago. Please try playing with syncing, probably shutting down one of the synced players etc.
I've not seen the issue in MV, but I'll test it this week to see if I can repo it
I'm interested to know if anyone sees this problem with r3380 or greater. I suspect this is most likely caused by out-of-memory issues, and the more recent firmware has some fixes to reduce the memory usage.
This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.0 release version of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already. If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
