I like this comparison as it gives a good example why people expect the
alarm to work even though the logitech device might be a streaming
device in the first place.
Anyway - lets get back constructive again.
As some people here (and also in other threads) have pointed out, that
alarms also work together with mysqueezebox.com.
So as a user forum our task here is to find out, what the differences
are to those where it doesn't work (as complaints and disputes don't
really help the matter).
Unfortunately both users that where asked to provide further
information failed to do so - noone will be able to help. For the rest
of people using alarms together with MySB.com (and who are interested
in a working solution) please do the following:
- take a look at ciarmer posts. First thing you should do is to
workaround this "turns itself off" problem. The official explanation
of this workaround is here:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16295#c19 . As there was
a patch commited to the bug report there is hope that this annoying
bug will vanish soon
- make sure to configure your alarms ONLY directly on the Radio.
Don't use the possibilities on mysqueezebox.com (or iPeng or other
remotes) to configure alars.
- Use an alarm time off the hour (i.e. 6:53 instead of 7:00)
- Play around with different Radio Streams (at least to find out if
your problem probably is only related to your stream). If you use
Pandora try some time without Pandora (again not as a final solution
but to see if its just some time lags that confuse your alarm).
If you took these steps and your alarm is still failing, please provide
us with more information:
- what do you mean by 'failing': is the Radio staying completely
silent (which I don't believe) or is the fallback alarm playing
instead of your wanted stream
- which stream do you use
- what is your alarm time
- what country are you living in ?
