O2 Joggler Forum

Thanks from me too for this. I live on the South Coast and used to occasionally listen to Radio FIP. It will nice to give that a go again on a Joggler!

I'd be interested in another ... one

Hi Pete Great news jkm. Yes what I replaced was a zener diode and I called it a fuse. Apologies. It was burnt to a crisp. I do not recall now what it was I replaced it with. That said just install a similarily sized zener diode rated at ~ 5VDC and low watts (well like 1 watt). OK, well that clears t...

Wow , well done , I would be tempted to leave it alone now ha ha .

Yeah, I know what you mean ... I do have some skills in this area though. It'd be nice to get things right. and maybe add to the body of knowledge about these little beasts

Well, curious... I took a closer look at the black device: http://images.jkn.webfactional.com/2019-07-02-181452.jpg and it looked pretty suspect. In fact it crubled away easily under the slight pressure of a pair of pliers ... and now the Joggler boots up fine! So, two thoughts: - why is no-one ment...

Hi Pete There is a fuse near by the 5VDC input on the motherboard. Typically if the fuse is burnt up then you see it and there will be no power to the main board. Maybe the fuse shorted to ground. Take pictures of the board near the 5VDC input (both sides) just for some extra eyes. I have replaced o...

Hi All I blew £3 on a Joggler at a Car boot sale at the weekend - no PSU but I have a surfeit of those... On powering it up, not a lot happens, so I've dismantled it to investigate a little further. I think there must be a short somewhere - the input voltage drops way down from 5V when it is plugged...

I'm open to suggestions for a browser. I did have chrome working for a little bit before I managed to corrupt the usb drive. Tonight I fixed a few things, but I need to get the brpwser working again

Justblair, eh? I remember reading your blog a few years ago...

Is the WNDA3100 (also dual band, I think) also supported in SQPOS V3, can you tell me? I have no idea, I'm afraid - a lot of Netgear drivers are in the kernel and I included as many wifi and ethernet USB devices as possible, so if there's any kernel support for it at all, it is likely to be there. ...

Hi Roobarb In fact I'd quite like to try a more modern USB adapter but it's not yet such a problem that I want to take my Jogglers apart and try to find/build drivers etc...! The real solution for me would be to switch to 5GHz, and connect my 5GHz base station instead. I can highly recommend the Net...

Hi I've found my old Joggler on a clear out. It's in good condition externally but doesn't come on. I see a flashing green light through the panel at the back. Searching reveals this is a known issue. I can solder so probably could fix it, but just don't have the time / wouldn't be able to mess wit...

Hi Johnny Good that you got it going. I do recall reading somewhere that the wireless mac address is "derived" from wired mac address as the wireless card doesn't have one. Not sure how accurate this is as I thought all network devices would have their own unique mac address. Anyway, have fun with t...

Hi All Well, I seem to have got things working at last, although I am not entirely sure what made the difference... I did a combination of: on the server, editing /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/server.prefs (after performing sudo systemctl stop squeezeboxserver ) and clearing out everything, or rem...

Hi Johhny Weird isn't it. I do recall that some "jiggery-pokery" is done to MAC addresses by SQOS, to try and create a pseudo unique address. Reading your last post jogged (pun intended!) my memory in that I had some funnies when trying to use MAC addresses in my router configuration to tie down IP ...

OK, some more real information - the plot thickens... == Joggler 1 only on == MAC address of wlan0 is 90:4c:e5:18:6d:60 My router sets this to 192.168.0.156 via DHCP ssh in, and ifconfig says: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:4c:e5:18:6d:60 inet addr:192.168.0.156 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255...

Hi Guys Thanks for all of the above ... it's heartening to know that what I am attempting to do should be fine. I do need to check the MAC addresses, and in fact in my earlier posting I did notice that the MAC address shown on the server control panel (for the player) was not exactly the same as the...

OK, let's start from the beginning. Hopefully this is more clearly presented information... I have Logitech Media Server installed on a home server (not sure of version, but < 7.8.0)). I do not use mysqueezebox.com (I don't have an account, even) I have two Jogglers on my home network. Both use wifi...

Hi All Volume of Squeezeplay 'jumping' when using SQPOS on Openpeak 7E as on a recent thread in 'Marketplace', I have just bought one of the OpenPeak 7E units, with better internal speakers etc. I've put Roobarb's SQPOS on it and is is mostly working. However the volume (of the internal speaker out...

Will these take flashing squeezeplay OS to internal memory, anyone done this? Does the the wireless work in this setup? Wireless works fine. According to Rhubarb's page https://birdslikewires.uk/squeezeplay-os , yes you can use the internal memory. I haven't yet tried, ran it from a pendrive. The l...
