I'm saying that the Radio is buggy and the MYSB connection is completely unreliable.

MySqueezebox.com didn't exist before the release of 7.4.0. So it's impossible you used it for 4 years. Its predecessor was "squeezenetwork.com", but this was a slightly different type of beast. kphinney;495215 Wrote: > Are you intoning that the SB Radio itself is buggy and does not connect > to MySB very well? It's hard to tell whether the MYSB connection problems are caused by the Radio or by the server. Most probably both are flawed. However, the main problem is the Radio, which doesn't seem to notice the loss of connection and/or obviously has no fault handling implemented at all. It simply does nothing in such a scenario - which happens at least once a day. E.g. you press the "Alarm" button and it plays a button sound, but nothing happens. It doesn't even try to fix the MYSB connection and doesn't output a error message either. It just sits there and does nothing. And indeed it's not so easy to get it out of that state. Did I mention that this happens at least once a day? kphinney;495215 Wrote: > I would have thought they were using the tried and true heart of the > same software they've been building on side SlimDevices released it. Not at all. The software for Controller, Radio and Touch is a completely new design (based on a scripting language called Lua). E.g. nearly all the configuration options of the SB Classic are missing. You can't even change a font size and have to live with a "now playing" screen with an unreadable clock. Also two weeks ago, the European MYSB server went down and as it was up again, no Controller or Radio in whole Europe could connect to MYSB while the "classic" devices could still connect. So also the server side seems to be different. -- 0xdeadbeef ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72540 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
