Spectrum Analyzer

[E_M]

Hey

In my music inventory, I had a 'bad' mp3 file (unplayable).. When the squeezebox tried to play the file, it just froze, so I had to take out the power cord.. It's working as it should now - well, almost:

No matter what music I play, there is a faint Spectrum Analyzer in the background. The spectrum analyzer should only be there as a screensaver, instead it's there all the time.. It's quite annoying when im browsing my squeezebox!

Does anyone know how I can fix that? Resetting the squeezebox by holding down the power button for 5 seconds doesn't work.

Btw; It's a Squeezebox v3 I got.

Just press now-playing until it goes away.
Been there, done that...

Press NOW PLAYING. It's a visualizer mode that must have been reset.

I don't know why no one likes that mode, I love it. :-)

I'm with you, Mark--it's my favorite.

bleah. It makes the text harder to read.

It's like blinky web pages or most implementations of Flash --it kinda looks cool, for the first few seconds until you realize you can't actually see the info you want...

You should file a bug, and include the bad mp3 file.. corrupt files should not cause the squeezebox to crash.

Though there was a bug already found for 6.5.1 that would crash on
"bad" mp3 files, which is fixed in 6.5.2 so please have a go with that
first and upgrade to the firmware included with that package.

Hey, thanks for some fast replies!

Pressing "Now playing" a couple of times did the trick
I also upgraded the firmware. So things are all good

Cheers!

Yeah, I understand your criticism and am generally not a fan of blinky things such as flash sites but...what can I say?...I kinda like that spectrum analyzer for some reason

I like that display mode because it's the exact same image as the spectrum analyzer screensaver which I have activate after 15 seconds. It's also greatly muted under the text, I don't really see how it blocks it much.

I don't actually see it all that often as I don't usually need that data anyway.
