Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool

[Mnyb]

or even if laptop that you don't want fixed ip, at least "reserve" the IP in your home network. That way the laptop will always get the same IP address from DHCP server.

+1 right so, youve done that

yep, not required, but I like to use a true static/fixed IP for any devices that don't leave the house (SB players and server), but reserved IP addresses for laptops, iphones, ipads, etc.

I've not bothered with the iPad nothing to hack on it so I don't have a direct need to know where it is .

But like you my whole server + 5 squeeze devices are static and my desktop, most of it directly connected via switches..

Hi again. I mean this big thing on top of the stereo, where the title you select with your iPhone will be repeatet in a display. What is it? Sorry, that i'm so courious. Beside this, i found now some information about Carver. But nothing about this peace of technik.

i've a problem finding the Sqzbox receiver (he's on and connected to the LMS (white light)

C:\ss\scripts>udap_shell.pl
Local IP address not specified at C:/ss/scripts/../src/Net-UDAP/lib/Net/UDAP/She
ll.pm line 87

so i put the ip of the router (same result with the ip of the server lms)

C:\ss\scripts>udap_shell.pl --local-address 192.168.0.1

UDAP> discover
info: *** Broadcasting adv_discovery message to MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 on
 255.255.255.255

UDAP> list

You can't find the Receiver with Net::UDAP as long as it's connected, I believe.

I have been at this now for hours and cannot even get to the shell. I've tried with and without the local-address argument but continue to get the following error. What am I doing wrong?

D:\Devices\Squeezeudap\branches\scripts>udap_shell .pl --local-address 192.168.1.144
Local IP address not specified at D:/Devices/Squeezeudap/branches/scripts/../src
/Net-UDAP/lib/Net/UDAP/Shell.pm line 87

D:\Devices\Squeezeudap\branches\scripts>

Thanks,

Mark

I think you do.

In my experience, the SB will only respond to the UDAP discovery if the
SB is in its config state, i.e. slow flashing red LED.

cheers,

I have not got any progres with it .
my udap always finishes with that :mag not found in msg

anyone guys can help me with that ?

in short: thanks so much for this script, it was the only thing that let me salvage my duet... I was /this/ close to buying a netbook to run an emulator instead.

In case it's of use to others, here's what happened to me:

LMS 7.5.5 was getting horribly laggy both on the controller and the web interface. Streaming was at first intermittent, then failed completely. The duet receiver would sometimes have the blue light, sometimes the white light.
Errors in the log indicated difficulty finding the player. I'm pretty sure now that long timeouts on those sorts of errors were what was causing 7.5.5 to behave so slowly.

I upgraded to 7.7.2 (including controller firmware), and while the newer version dealt with the no-player problem much better, and had much faster rescan speeds, the underlying problem was still there - duet receiver flaking out.

I looked into the net::udap thing and got the Perl rigamarole working (the older compiled version had a lot more error messages it seemed). It turns out there was a garbage value in one of the fields that was totally buggering up the networking. Once I fixed that and saved it, back to normal!

Then, I took it a step further, assigned a static IP and set the network to wired, then hung the box off of the Amp SR20000g wireless extender/repeater we use to get decent video streaming to the basement. So, now all the music is coming in at N speeds instead of G. The whole system seems a lot more responsive than before, but I'm not sure if that's a function of 7.7.2 or N vs G, or both.

Glad you found it useful.

I must throw the code up on github some day...
