    Question: Using Pandora to run Logitech Media Server

    The situation for me is that I have three Squeeze Boxes, which are still supported by Logitech as far as firmware upgrades. Right now they are connecting to the internet for internet radio, rather than a local server. I know that I could run the server software on my desktop, but the power...

    Question: Using Pandora to run Logitech Media Server

    Thanks for the reply. Incidentally, I know that, back in the day, people used to use Squeeze Server for general music streaming purposes. It doesn't require a Squeezebox, and it supports FLAC. I believe that the interface uses a web browser, IIRC. I'm not sure what might have changed with...

    Question: Using Pandora to run Logitech Media Server

    Logitech Media Server used to be Squeeze Server, the open source software that works with Squeebox music streaming devices. Anyway, ever since my old server broke, I've been thinking that it would be convenient to be able to run the software on a Pandora. (Low power consumption, silent...

    Sticky keys disabling

    I like having both options. It's just eerie that this one system preference should randomly shut off. It just happened to me now: I powered up the Pandora, logged in, and put it down on a table; about a minute after Xfce loaded, I got a status message saying sticky keys had disabled. Why...

    Sticky keys disabling

    I haven't seen a previous post about this. Sticky keys seems to disable under certain circumstances. The main one is whenever the Pandora is put in low power mode. I used to think it was only when the trigger buttons and gaming controls were vigorously used in a game, as a consequence of the...

    Mame just disappeared??

    I downloaded from the repo with the same results. However, the versions in the official apps site do work. (They are not available from the file archive.) Anyway, both MAME and MAME4all from the official apps site both appear in the menu and execute. I can't test them right now otherwise...

    Mame just disappeared??

    I also have had a problem with MAME and MAME4all not showing up among the menu items and therefore not being executable. However, in my case, they never showed up at all. They're the only pnd files that have done that. I haven't bothered to try a re-flash, since Hotfix 6 is imminent and I'm...

    Slow WiFi & Nub Problem

    Did you toggle off the internal wifi before plugging in the AE1000? You could try following these eariler suggestions that Alerino gave me earlier: 1)toggle internal wifi off (from menu) 2)sudo killall NetworkManager (from terminal) 3)plug linksys usb 4)sudo NetworkManager (wait for...

    Slow WiFi & Nub Problem

    Actually, the Pandora with the AE1000 seems to be losing network connection intermittently. It is mostly a problem on my home network with WPA2 security enabled; it randomly disconnects and asks for the password again but can't always reconnect. Hopefully this will improve in the future. When...

    Youtube 240p loads slow. Is that normal?

    I tend to agree. Right now it's mostly just a curiosity, I think. Given how much trouble Adobe is having themselves in making Flash work on portable devices, it's kind of interesting to get it on Pandora, even if it hasn't been optimized yet. It's much more practical to watch Youtube videos on...

    Youtube 240p loads slow. Is that normal?

    Cool, I'll give it a try.

    Youtube 240p loads slow. Is that normal?

    Thanks, I must have been trying to watch videos that have a >240p minimum res. I've gotten the best performance from minitube, but you can only set max res in minitube; it doesn't list the actual res of the videos. I was able to get good playback this time around for some other vids.

    Youtube 240p loads slow. Is that normal?

    After trying to watch Youtube videos via FF, Midori v0.3.6, and minitube using a Linksys AE1000, my experience is that the playback is too choppy to be enjoyable, even at 360p. Also, the flash player in FF can't do fullscreen (minitube can do fullscreen though). I did get good performance...

    Slow WiFi & Nub Problem

    I just received the delivery of a new Linksys AE1000 today. I strongly recommend it. Even if you could get the built-in wifi working as well as some people have been reporting - which seems to be very much dependent on the wireless access point in a way that no one knows yet - you'll still get...

    Yet another Pandora review

    Considering that the review unit has some hardware defects, I think the 5/10 is pretty reasonable. My own experience from owning a Pandora for two weeks (I haven't written a review) is that I'm pleased by how well it works. On some level, I'm kind of shocked that it actually works at all...
