I suppose I should be able to dig around and experiment, but I'd rather just ask :) go to -italics- for the question if the back story is boring
We all know sb device, LMS, and mysb.com, and their roles pretty well. But then we deploy them to technically challenged and inexperienced friend and family, then "things happen" I have seen this, or similar at least 5+ times. I'd like to find a way out to avoid it: I deployed a touch, rpi3b+ (pcp server only) to a non technical and not very willing to learn friend and he thinks the world of it. I went over the other day and he was listening to pandora (sure, why not). He said "I cannot get radio paradise anymore" so I investigated with him watching. I backed out, then into favorites, which identified mysb.com is the server. I went to my music, and it could not connect to the LMS server. I went over to the little pi box and the power supply was switched off (tidying up?). I turned it on and viola, was able to use my music to switch to LMS, then favorites to the RP links I set up. I told him what happened. Blank stare. He had lived with it for months. So, I knew it was bound to repeat. Had it just not worked (no mysb.com) I would have gotten a call. -So, my question(s) - is there a way to turn off the auto switch to mysb.com if LMS is not available? The "integration" setting in LMS seems to be only for player settings. Further, if I can prevent the switch, can mysb.com still be used to account validate his Pandora?- My comment - it seems to me that the auto switch, with no real display of what server you are using, can trip our less experienced people up. What are the ways we can prevent that? Is there a way on the touch screen to always list the server name, even if it's invisible until you tap? Also, I know to use MyMusic to switch to LMS and settings->advanced->forgot what this is->switch to mysb.com to switch to mysb.com, but it's not intuitive to others. I do know that I can add the settings->~ to the main menu, but, do less experienced? Jim PS - as a side note, I have been thinking about starting a thread on "accessibility". We all know this from computers/devices as the attempt to equalize the experience with the hearing, sight, and physically impaired. But what about daft and unwilling to learn? My thought would be to share our experiences and "tricks and tips" to make this flexible and powerful system as close to push and play as possible. Think a thread on this would be useful? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116865 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
