Well, I've had no luck getting to the bottom of this. While it's generally been working ok (as long as it's not turned off fully, or if there are issues with my wider Squeezebox setup, which have unfortunately been frequent this week!), I still wasn't happy with having what is clearly a unit that's not functioning as it should. I rang Logitech this morning and their answer is to replace the unit, which I'm in the middle of arranging with the shop I bought it from. There's no way that I'm not going to upgrade the replacement to the Squeezebox firmware, given the ease of integration with our existing Squeezeboxes and that we're running the Logitech Media Server on a NAS for that's not supported by the UE software, plus that Spotify works perfectly (whereas I was getting that common error message when attempting to play Spotify files via the UE firmware). So, are there any tips that I should follow when upgrading to hopefully avoid the same problems I encountered the first time around? Clearly upgrade to the most recent UE firmware is a given, but can anyone offer any other advice? Many thanks... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonathan.ibell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99027 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
