Re: SqueezePlay for Joggler (Standalone Native and Ubuntu)

Decided to bite the bullet and reflash the joggler using roobarbs method, one quirk with Explorer 9 is that it modifies the tgz file which is why I couldn't reflash previously. Aware of that now and following the forum instructions to re-boot. Will then have a go at perl/squeezeplayer/squeezebox in ...

Re: Wont power on - easy fix?

One of mine had the same problem. Possible it has been subjected to a 12 volt power supply instead of 5V. There is an internal fuse, one of the contributors sorted mine out for me. denisP, drop him a message and see what he thinks. It may not be the case, and it could be completely trout. If it's ch...

The plot thickens.... I installed Squeezebox server using the instructions on the web page below. http://longpress.org/2010/11/05/squeezebox-server-on-a-budget/ One issue with Win 7 automatically changing the file from .tgz to .gz so it wouldnt upload the tarball, but got round that by using firefox...

Power Supplies

As myself and youg Den now have internally modified Jogglers, I am going to look at the power supply arrangements. I think two projects. One to power the Joggler from the PC PSU, and splitting the supply into 5V and 12V using the standard connector, using a spare 5 inch bay to hard wire a switch and...

Re: SqueezePlay for Joggler (Standalone Native and Ubuntu)

IP address is standard, and used by the PNP webserver, which works fine on the normal access but doesn't work on the squeezebox setting with the 9000 port adress added. Maybe it's a Windows 7 thing, or Norton blocking it? The other thing I was thinking is that I tried to install the Gforum squeezepl...

I have managed to get Squeezeplay running fine, and am trying to load the squeezebox server so I can put some tunes onto a Compact flash (is wired in to the internal USB vis a USB/SDCard reader and more or less flush with the case) Squeezebox server is running on the PC and Squeezeplay picks it up O...

Been playing around a bit more, used the bash script for PMJ, everything came up as indicating OK, but still goes through the boot sequence, the I have date and time top right, and the home icon top left. The home icon dims when you touch it which implies the touchscreen is active, and after the rel...

Re: Reflashing Tool for the O2 Joggler

I have had a go at this as I installed Squeezeplayer, a version with no icon, then removed and re-installed the version with icon. All I was left with was the home button top left on boot which did not do anything. So I attempted the reflashing tool. All goes on stick via Win32 Disk Imager, no probl...

Re: know the perfect small working joggler altOS usbstick?

Busbi from Argos, you can hardly see it. Sticks out about 5 mm. I use one in the car as my Alpine has a front USB slot... 4, 8 and 16 gig available, and I think you could get them even cheaper online.

Flash Memory

How much of a job is it to replace the flash memory then? Not a starter unless you have access to some pretty good desoldering kit?

Re: Best USB stick for Joggler?

Those Busbi sticks from Argos are quite good, extremely small and you don't even notice them when plugged in. I use one in the Alpine stereo in the motor, as the USB port is on the front, as a normal stick is too long, and prone to twatting when getting a bout of road rage.

Went to the restore partitions thread and downloded up to the third image on that, and that failed on lack of space. Just reformatted the partitions using gpar...

Re: Deleting Apps And Icons

Just been doing a quick read up and play with linux via putty, quite straightfoward to navigate to the directories, remove files using rm -f*, cd back up and rmdir. Not much different to DOS, it has removed the icons and apps, but now boots into CBeebies, which was the last app I removed. I am guess...
