Hi there,
As I posted earlier on Logitech's SB forum, we have been having significant problems with our Squeezeboxes (two Duets and a UE Radio with SB firmware); at seemingly random times, the connection dies (turns red on remote/radio; often turns blue on Duet base units). It will often come back up within a minute or so, sometimes a bit longer. Sometimes though the only way I have found to be able to connect the SBs again is to factory reset them.
The problems seem to have only come about since we added the UE Radio to the mix, and went away for the week or so we didn't have the Radio (which was being replaced for other reasons) but came back with a vengeance with the new Radio (which at least now has the SB firmware sticking). EDIT - thought I should add that until the Radio came on the scene, the Duets had been rock-solid for many months (I've found LMS on the ReadyNAS more reliable than when we ran it on a Mac Mini).
The advice I have received thus far has focused on trying to find any problems with my network setup, however I haven't found any issues here (and any changes made haven't solved the problem). I've also done the usual from stopping the server and/or rebooting the NAS (LMS runs on a ReadyNAS Duo 2), to resetting all SBs and re-starting all network components, through to a complete removal and reinstall of LMS (done most recently this morning). The problems unfortunately continue.
This afternoon I took a look at the LMS log, and noticed a problem showing up each time the "problem" occurs, with the frequent "squeezeboxserver_safe stopped" and equivalent "started" lines - I'll post the relevant parts of the log below as I'm hoping someone is able to help me decypher this and hopefully offer some suggestions as to what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it. I thought it may be more appropriate to post on this forum, given the problem appears it could be directly related to LMS.
We are reliant on these SBs for almost all our music - plus the UE Radio is supposed to be our replacement bedroom radio, though with these problems it's not even managing to function as that!
Appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.
Cheers
Jonathan Ibell
