Hiya, I remeber for the last challenge of going from Fed11 to Fed14 and in the end the best solution with the lowerst stree factor was backup, wipe, install new, restore.

Hi Mick,


What sort of hardware are you using?


I found some older hardware does not like the newest version.


I had a Pentium 4 based system with IDE drives and had problems getting it...

How odd.




You say this was a fresh install from a 1.7 VB CD?


If so DLNA should be installed along with the DAAP server.

OK, so that shows XBox is not the issue.




On the VB webpage called system does it show dlna is running?


No????

Hi,




To check if your DNLA is working you can test this on a PC.


If you have a Linux platform rythum box supports DNLA

OK, it looks like the BreatheAudio might provide the solution you are looking for.

OK,




So you want sound for each room.


You state you will have an amp and speakers in each room.

Hiya,




So for each zone you would need a specific audio playback device, is this what you want to achve?

Andrew seems to be building a good backup of documentation.

Hi Ron,


If looking for a windows file comparison tool try textpad or examdiff.


Very useful tools.

and what is the output from




ps aux |grep vortexbox

OK, any other files in the listing?




have you done an update recently?

use


cd /etc/ripit


then ls


then nano config

[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# service vortexbox status
vortexbox (pid 1580) is running...
[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# ripit



RipIT version 3.9.0.

If you cd /etc/ripit and then ls do you see config ?




[vortexbox.localdomain ripit]#


Is a typical prompt...

OK, have a look in /var/log/ripit.log but this may not tell you anything but have a look back and see if anything has changed since Sat. You could also have a look at the yum.log.




As I can...

OK, what does the log file tell you?


Anything useful?




Do you know what changed from Saturday to Monday?

So did you try


a reboot ?


web gui start button?


view the log file?

Hi Ron,


Thanks, seems limmp4v2-0 was not installed.


I think this is left over from trying to get mediatomb to install.

Hi Everyone,




I just tried to do an update and not sure why but it failed.


So from Putty I did the yum update and in the process I got the following 'error'.

Hi Avalx,


For the auto-power on - most PCs have a setting in the BIOS for what happens after a power failure. Usually somewhere in the power management option.




Then just change it 'ON'....

Hi Gary,




Yes you can.


I have used Winamp and then changed the path to reflect the relevant changes.

Strange, I looked at mine and it already had that set to no. So assumed you had the same.


A mistaken assumption!


I guess I must have added it at some point.


Well good luck and enjoy...
