At this point I'm just waiting for a slow Friday, followed by a Slow Monday

We all hope this for you. Both for our selfish reasons and for your benefit.

I just noticed that the front usb ports won't play my external hardrives, only usb sticks.
The rear usb ports works fine with my hard drives.
Is this normal?

Hi

Yes the rear ports have more current than the fronts

I have my WD Passport 1 TB plugged into the front USB port, and it works fine. I suppose your hard disk requires more current.

I recall from discussion way back that the front ports share power with the top rear USB port. So if the top rear was unused and you use only one front port there should be no problem.

That applies to the BDP-1, the BDP-2 is much beefier; before releasing the product we had six hard drives powered by the BDP-2. If the hard drive consumes less then 500mA and you leave the rest of the USB ports unplugged a BDP-1 could potentially power a drive off of a front USB port.

Thanks for the reply's.
I tried using 2-1TB HP Hardrives to the front ports to no avail. They only worked when plugged into the back ports.

How do I remove a NAS drive from my BDP-2?

I have gone into current Manic Moose dashboard > NAS Setup, clicked radio button for the NAS drive I want to remove, then clicked the Remove button. Nothing happens. The drive is still there on the interface. I have tried turning the BDP-2 on and off, and refreshing the Manic Moose dashboard page, but the drive remains on the interface.

Thanks for your help.

I also have a question. Updated to the newest software just yesterday. Every time I switch on the BDP-2 it takes ages to initialize as the player says it's installing MPD 17... It took couple of minutes before the update. Any advise?
In simple English please! Last time I asked about .Trashes folder I couldn't repeat what I have been advised to do

most probably because I'm not smart enough

:duh:to understand the specialist's language. Thank you!
And one more thing - can't make the squeezeslave mode work - it keeps "on" literally 3-4 seconds when I try to switch it on before switching to "off" position all by itself. Thanks God it's Friday!

give it about 5 to 10 minutes after clicking the remove button. at some point in that 10 minutes the bdp should restart on its own. if you still can't get rid of it you can do a reset to factory defaults. Or connect to the network share created by the bdp called "USER" and remove the nas settings from the file labeled nas.

Cheers,
Chris

sounds like squeezeslave is unable to find the squeezebox server, thats the normal behavior when a squeezebox server isn't running on the network. Personally i havn't noticed the firmware take any longer to boot, has it occurred more then once?

Chris

I only tried it couple of times and decided to leave the player on. But both times it took around 10 minutes or so. As for the squeezeslave - The server (I tried to use I-pad and a MacBook) doesn't see the player. I tried to start the search simultaneously and in different order - the slave mode turns off before they manage to find each other

Regarding the suggestion to "connect to the network share created by the bdp called 'USER' and remove the nas settings from the file labeled nas" -- I found rhe file labeled nas but Windows does not recognize what kind of file it is and can't open it. I tried opening with Notepad and saw a string of text with various settings, but I changed nothing for fear of making things worse. What program can be used to open the nas file?

Might just have to resort to reset to factory defaults.

You could just delete the NAS file and use the built in wizard to create the shares you want.

Howdy Folks,
After upgrading to Ver 2.10, I have this strange "red" list of my Discs in the Home View. Attached a screen shot. BDP2D is my main disc and Lexar is a thumbdrive for Scratch.

Anyone one knows how to get rid of this?

Thanks

unincognito · « **Reply #877 on:** 9 Mar 2015, 03:32 am »

That's the show missing files and folders from the MPD database feature found in the in the media player settings.

Falldog · « **Reply #878 on:** 9 Mar 2015, 08:20 pm »

Ha!

Thanks unincognito.

I turned off the "Show missing file & folders from MPD database". Now the strange red disc view is gone.

Cool.

What is the best way to integrate TIDAL playback into the BDP-2? I am thinking about subscribing.
Thanks!
