If I get some more free time over the next few days, I will have a play with the scripts on my Windows machine to see if I can get it working. If I do, I will post an update here.
All I had to do was download the 64bit version of Active Perl , and the set-up steps worked without any issues. I guess there was an issue with my environment set-up previously, as this was on a fairly new install of Win 8. Hi, did you get around to fixing the scripts for Windows 8?
I have to dig out my old Windows Vista laptop to connect to my Squeezebox unit and it would be nice to use the ordinary computer Windows 7 or the Macbook Air laptop. Once I got it working with my Linux laptop, there was no need to use my Win8 machine to do anything. I do need to check my Squeezebox Receiver settings though, as my home network settings have changed, and it is not currently working.
I managed to try again on my Windows 8 machine, and it worked flawlessly. There must have been an issue with my configuration previously, as I am on a relatively new install of Windows 8. Your email address will not be published. A few fun facts from Logitech about the SqueezeCenter:.
Big deal right? Actually, it is. You can use your SqueezeCenter on your computer to give the Duet access to your content but also to your playlists and favorite stations. So, rather than keeping a global list on the Squeezebox you can access your personal one through the SqueezeCenter. The Duet can access any computer on the network that has SqueezeCenter loaded up on it so theoretically you could have different settings on your desktop, laptop, and any other computer on the network.
Your kids could have their own as well as any friend that you gave access to your network. No more, "Oh, I found this great station, let me send you the link," stuff which, incidentally, is pretty easy to add through either the SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter web interfaces. They can just grab the remote, access their SqueezeCenter, and hit play though seriously, if you ever come over and grab my remote, there's going to be a problem.
As I expected, with Internet radio, you'd be hard pressed to notice one since most of the compression is so bad. The Duet sports 24 bit Wolfson DACs so it makes a fairly good standalone audio solution though you may find that you prefer the DACs in your equipment more depending on their quality. Digitally you have a coax and TOSLink options. Either will sound the same regardless of what the esoteric audio elitists say. It is nice that they give you the option as many receivers have more TOSLink than coax though too often users are left with only one option at their disposal.
Confused about what AV Gear to buy or how to set it up? Setup Setting up the Squeezebox Duet is a snap… for most people. According to the instructions, this is supposed to be how it works: Plug everything in and all that Charge the battery there is usually enough of a charge on it to get through the setup process Download software see below Turn on the remote and follow the onscreen instructions Play music Wonder where I got stuck?
Read the Complete Thread. Squeezebox Duet Is A Small Miracle I own a squeezebox and a squeezebox duet one year now and I have to tell you this is very neat device. I've tried many network players Dune, Netgear, Sonos etc but this one beats them all hands down.
The sound of the two devices is very different if you have a decent piece of kit to tell it so you have to carefully select what you connect it to. After many hours of listening I've picked what I think best combination. The sound is owesome. It's the best system I've ever had and I've had a lot. The sound is very good but not as good as with Parasound.
The Controller can control both squeezeboxes separately or in sync or you can control both system from any computer on your network via browser I use Google Chrome. I've never had ANY problem with both squeezeboxes. Both are connected via WIFI. Well there is one small issue when microwave oven is turned on for more than 4 minutes then the closest squeezebox rans out of cache and start to stutter.
Otherwise the squeezebox is perfect. It was perfect with initial releases of SlimServer, now it gives you more and more features with every new release. The controller is a treat. I noticed I started to listen to the music more considering that any track of any CD in my collection now is just a click away. Now the actual CDs are stashed away in the box in the closet.
Great job Logitech or SlimDevices! Thinking of going for the Transporter. It has the balanced outputs and think this alone will worth a try. Even if it's not better than the Duet it will look great on top of my Parasound. Squeezebox Duet disappointment Wow, what a waste of many hours of my life trying to get this to work. I spent three hours trying to get the duet to connect to my network.
It seems once you finish an option in the setup, you can't ever go back there. I don't know what changed, but after three hours suddenly it connected.
Then the 2nd problem - no sound. Then I noticed the remote saying it was playing a song, with the little countdown timer, but it wouldn't play more than 30 seconds before it would start over again. If I changed the volume, it also started over at the beginning. I went on to Logitech's web page to post my problems.
This is harder than it sounds. Initially, I tried wiring it into my router and seeing if it could see it. It could not. However, doing this is finicky and had me tearing my hair out. Ultimately, I got my Windows machine connected to it. When it connects, it gives your machine an IP in the If it gives you a Try restarting your machine.
