Random source switching - annoyingly intermittent

RE: Random source switching - annoyingly intermittent
I have disabled songcast. I forget why, it has been a while, but it wasn't because it played well with my system.

Do you have a 3 year old grandchild? Mine cannot be disabled!

RE: Random source switching - annoyingly intermittent
Left the network cable unplugged all night and it's still not switched back to the pc (via songcast)

There must be a setting I've missed in songcast or on the pc?

I have a 11 month old daughter ...
She does change the input regularly ... But this was happening when she wasn't even in the room! Maybe she has telekinetic powers? Smile

As I understand it, it is possible to disable a child... But aparently it's frowned upon for some reason... Wink

Anyway, enough silly talk... Smile
As I say, it seems to have resolved it's self ... I got all the way through my new alt-J album without a single interruption this evening

Did you try to disable IR or not? No reason not to see if it helps as it is easy to do.

RE: Random source switching - annoyingly intermittent
I did ... But I'm not sure I gave it a long enough time to test the theory...
I'll switch it back on and see if the issue returns.

The reason I'm not so sure is that the hifi has its back to the front window an is enclosed in a tv stand
I also live on a hill Si the houses opposite me have their first floor at te same height as my ground floor.
For it to be IR it would have to be a damn powerful remote an someone using it in thier bedroom ... If that makes sense
Unless it was someone doing it on perpose ... Which I might give the time of day of it was only happening when I was listening to music

The only remote I have in the room is the tv remote and that doesn't do anything to the linn even pointed straight at it

So the only other cause could be something else giving off IR ...
But this is an issue that only happened just after I upgraded ...

All said though, yeah, I will switch it back on and see if it happens again

Hi Hamish

Do you have a 3D TV?

We have had a 3D TV in here that was transmitting a lot of IR (to control the 3D glasses), causing the KDSM to repeatedly change source.

RE: Random source switching - annoyingly intermittent
I once had the same problem: I accidentally left the songcast program on my mac connected to the sneaky and after listening to a playlist for some time it spontaneously switched back to songcast mode. Disabling songcast in the menu bar helped. The version of the songcast program was 4.1.x iirc, DS is Davaar 5.

RE: Random source switching - annoyingly intermittent
I've got IR switched back on on the linn now and it hasn't done it again ... Its been at least a week ...
No 3d tv btw

It sounds like you had the same issue as me DonEscoba

Since upgrading to davaar 7 and whatever the latest songcast is I can't get it to replicate the problem ...
