Works, slowly on ipeng, but I get a 'failed to parse' message after some time occasionally. Other times I get the usual menus. Seems quite sluggish, perhaps overloaded servers?

There's a thread on this in the Logitech forum, and another one on the mysqueezebox.com forum here. the consensus seems to be overload at Napster. A workround for squeezebox server is to increase the timeout setting. I tried 15 (and then 30 secs) which has helped a lot. Default timeout is 5 seconds, and I noticed that even the native napster web app takes more than 5 seconds a lot of the time.
It doesn't help at mysqueezebox.com though.
If anyone needs help on locating the timwout setting, then hit reply.

Did you try it and it didn't help, or didn't you find the options? It's in a slightly different place (Player settings).

Hi Michael,
I didn't know you could increase the timeout (as opposed to the buffer) for mysqueezebox.com. Can you help me to find how to change this? If I look under players in mysqueezebox.com I can change the buffer size, but not the timeout to make a connection?

Ok, latest news from Napster is that the API we're using is running on
machines which are reaching their limits. We're now working on moving to
their latest API.

Excellent, thanks Michael. At least now the problem and resolution has been identified.

The implementation is mostly done. We still need to test it though. If you
want to give it a try, connect to test.mysb.com. What device are you
using? Are you going through Squeezebox Server or mysb.com directly?
