Wired Squeezeboxen broken after 7.3.3 upgrade?

[par]

After upgrading to 7.3.3 my wired squeezeboxen (1 Boom and 1 Squeezebox2) are sluggish (on browsing the database), rebuffer frequently when playing transcoded songs and fail to keep synchronisation with their wireless counterparts.

When I switched my Boom to wireless all its problems were gone, really strange!

The ethernet network is 1Gbps and serves all systems (including the wireless routes), the wireless network is provided by an Apple Airport Extreme.

Anybody can help me pinpoint the problem?

I'd try an entire network system re-boot.
- unplug power to SB players
- unplug power to router
- re-boot computer
- plug router back in
- plug SB players back in

If that doesn't solve it I'd try a SB player Factory Reset:

Thanks Toby10. Did all that but it did not help. If I go into the Network Test settings on the SB's I get on the wired sets 320 kbps (avg 45%) whereas the wirelessly connected sets go easily to 5000 kbps.

All SB's are latest firmware, wireshark does not show a lot of traffic on the network..
Any other suggestions?

Please Xilinx reset all your 'wired' devices, does that fix the issue or not. https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.p...Reset_commands

What OS do you have SC installed on?
What content are you playing that causes issue?
Does this only happen if you "sync" the players together or does it happen if the players are not synced?
What version of SC were you running prior to 7.3.3?
IF you play content via SqueezeNetwork, does the same error condition exist?

What OS do you have SC installed on?
Versie: 7.3.3 - 27044 @ Mon Jun 15 15:12:32 PDT 2009
Operatingsystem: Debian - NL - utf8
Platform: i686-linux
Perl-version: 5.10.0 - i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
MySQL-version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny1

What content are you playing that causes issue?
As you can read from the above: I don't have to play anything: the network info already shows that througput is appaling on the wired interface. The Xilink reset did not help..

Does this only happen if you "sync" the players together or does it happen if the players are not synced?
Well: the wireless players start to stutter when they are synced with a wired one.

What version of SC were you running prior to 7.3.3?
7.2.1 (last pre-7.3.3 release version)
IF you play content via SqueezeNetwork, does the same error condition exist?[
It does not seem to be present iwth a wired device on SN although it is hard to check (no Network info). I don't have stuttering and the menu's seem snappier.

Reboot your router and server PC (in that order) and then Check that all of your MAC addresses in your devices match the labels on the device. If they don't match, fix them and reboot router.

Updated NIC drivers of SB server, did a 3rd reboot of the whole network infra and now it is solved.

Thanks all for helping me out!
