To underscore the comments above (and correct the notion that a junior developer - of any nationality - could fix the alarm problems), the real problem with alarms is indeed the architecture. I discussed this directly and repeatedly back when I fixed them as best as possible in light of the constraints presented by the alarm architecture (and certain underlying foundational architectural constraints relied upon by alarm functionality). The continuing problems won't be fixed by any junior developer, nor any senior one unless the architecture is fixed first. Bluegaspode's continued work to address/resolve specific users' alarm failure/malfunction cases is laudable (ahh, your patience continues to amaze, Stefan :) ) - but the grander issue of why those problems are not innately addressed by default in the alarm subsystem will never be resolved. Which is precisely why I am still running 7.4.2 from back when I originally made alarms usable, and am no longer tinkering with further fixes... Marc p.s. I absolutely love the SB Radio as a streaming music player. For use as a bedside alarm clock, however, see my opinions/posts from long back - since none of the realities/views expressed there have changed. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83998 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
