Squeezebox Players

[Scenium]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. Have run into an issue trying to play my Slacker radio through my SB Duet. It worked fine for the past year or so then just recently it started timing out at the end of the 3rd or 4th tune. It would just stop and not move onto the next song. The only way to get it to go is to restart the radio station from the Logitech Media Server app and selelcting play station again. I have no idea how to trouble shoot that. I'm fairly sure it is not firewall related and my settings on my home network gateway have not changed. Any ideas?

Almost certainly it is this known issue, they are working on it.

Yes, it is a known problem caused by Slacker (Pandora, SiriusXM, and others) changing their streaming to help mobile listeners avoid heavy data download charges from the service they are using.  Logitech's current Slacker App (Pandora App, SiriusXM App, etc.) can't handle this change.  Even though Slacker (and the others) made the change that is affecting Squeezebox users, they point the finger of responsibility at Logitech.  I'm assured that Logitech's engineers are working on solving the problem with Slacker (and others), but they have no timeframe yet.  Hopefully it will be soon.  All we can do is keep the pressure up.

Slacker does quit after anywhere from a part of a song to a half hour, but I can listen to Pandora for hours without the same problem.  Interesting...
