Hi guys

I have removed the installed Squeezebox software via the admin site. I reset the squeezebox and LinuxMCE prompted me to install the Squeezebox again and I chose a room without an MD. When I log into that room and try to play an audio file I get a message telling thatthere are no devices capable of playing the file in the room. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts! I am using release 1.1RC.

Thanks

Hi Zaerc

Sorry to jump onto your post but how did you specify the com port? I have added the interface and when I select com port on the web admin there are two choices flip, sorry, I  cannot remember what they are (my interface is a usb via rs323 adpter set to com 3). The interface is working fine in vista via HomeSeer. I had it working previously on LinuxMCE but it is not working now. I seem to remember having to set the com port but not by the com port option if that makes sense. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Hi guys

I installed it to last night instalation went very smootly as per teedge77 post. The caching of the Kubuntu cd seemed to take forever, I thought initially that the installation had stopped. There was an  option to install a piece of software called "Lame" with the software to paly encrypted dvd's. I chose to install both. I set it up and played with it for a few hours. I like the new videos I think that they add a professional touch to the install. There have been a number of changes to the LM Launcher just extra options.

I have noticed some small changes such as the interface seems far better designed and integrated there is now a red outline when you choose an option which makes it easer if you are using a Wii or gyro remote.

 There have been a number of fixes for problems that I had been having with 1.1b2 mainly that I was able to setup my spare dell pc as a MD (not via network booting) and it worked first time and looks great. My Microsoft remote issues seem to be fixed as well. Still having problems with my Squeezebox it was recognised and the software installed but will still not show my music collection.

It also seems faster at cataloging, the media on my external drives was catalogued very quickly within around ten minutes of the install and all my content was then available. Some DIVX videos that had refused to play previously now play without issue.

The compting option has some new entries for You Tube, Google video, Weather and Traffic. There are also new progress bars which include more info and these are very useful.

My initial thoughts are that this release seems much more integrated than the previous ones and there seems to have been some work done on the interface it also seems to load faster than previously. My first experience is very promising and I am very impresed. Thanks to the team for this release.

Thanks

Hi Guys

This is great news, thanks to the LinuxMCE team for this release. Just to be sure do we have to reinstall both Kbuntu 7.04 and the RC1 of Linux MCE? Or do you just reinstall over the previous version of LinuxMCE?

Thanks again.


Paul

Hi

Can the above question be answered I will be installing RC1 tonight.

Thanks

Hi 1audio & PeteK

Thanks for the replies I really appreciate it.

All my audio is available to LinuxMCE I can play all of it through my amp. When I browse music by what ever option on the Sqeezebox it just says "Empty". How do I direct the music to the squeezebox? How do I choose it as the output device?

Thanks

Hi Guys

Installed a 3rd generation Slim Devices Squeezebox on my linuxMCE box last night. The device was found and the software installed. It is showing in the admin site. It is connecting to the DCE Router without any problems but will not show any of the stored content. I checked out the WIKI and it mentioned that if the box was the only audio device in the room it should play what ever was playing via the MD, unfortunatly it isnt playing ball or playing the song!. Have I missed something out? I tried it under windows vista and it worked first time.

Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Hi 1audio

Thanks for the information I will indeed look up any sources of european equipment. How well does LMCE control a compatable alarm system? Is it worth the expense and hassle? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

While looking at the list of compatable equipment I had a mad thought! If I where to buy the Apex Alarm system in the good ol US of A would it work here in cold and wet Dublin? Obvious power differences aside would it work? Could I finally stop skipping the security aspects of this great system? How I would love to arm my alarm system via LMCE I need to get a life!!

I wonder what compatable equipment that is State side would work here when power issues were sorted?

Thanks for your help and info.

Hi guys

Plugging away at my LMCE system and loving it. This is probably a silly question but I have added photos for the three users that will use the system via the web admin site but so far they have not shown up on any of the screens. I am probably missing something obvious should I be able to see the uploaded photos on the admin web page? I just see a small box with a picture sysmbol?

Thanks
