Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Argh! Backup alarm every morning, but streams fine when preset pressed
I don't use SB players for any alarm functions (see other posts, I've said too much already), but I wonder if you couldn't do the following which *might* be a more reliable alarm function: - set ONLY a built in default alarm sound (forget trying to stream as the alarm) - dismiss alarm - press Preset to your desired stream Or can it be setup in a manner where pressing a Preset does both? 1. dismisses alarm 2. starts to stream that Preset For *me* it is the reliance on all of the items in the chain to all work as expected that I do not trust, all to perform a simple task. In some scenarios all of the following must be functioning properly to wake someone: electric power, computer, router, WiFi, modem, ISP, SBS, MySB, internet station . all to accomplish what my $5 alarm clock with a simple 9v battery backup has done flawlessly for over a decade.:) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72374 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

My only two minor issues so far are these: 1) Every once in awhile (twice in the last three days) it freezes up and restarts! Is this a known issue that Logitech is working on? I hope its not just my unit. 2) If I'm listening to a certain station and I power off the radio, when I power it back on it's still on that same station but there is no audio! To get the audio back I have to go back Home and reselect the station. Thanks Logitech for this great product, by far the best wi-fi radio in existance right now. Shadow- There's at least one open bug that I know of causing the radio to freeze up and reboot. It's slated to be fixed in version 7.5 and is related to the type of file or stream you're playing. https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14489 -- FredFredrickson FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72264 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] BBC Radio stations not playing...
It's more that I'd like to fix the problem by correcting the URLs, rather than mask it. Not everyone in our home is a hacker, and they tend to expect that a featured feature (Staff Picks) works -- that is about the first place people try when they go to change the station if they aren't Slim-o-philes. The URLs pretty much have to be downloaded from the server, burned in the firmware, or downloaded from Logi's server. At least the first two can be under your control if you're not tied to Logi's server. -- jef jef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30360 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72313 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using the SB Radio as a replacement for the SB Receiver
hungarianhc;493996 Wrote: Hi there, I was going to set my parents up with a Squeezebox Receiver for christmas, as my mom is getting an iPod Touch, and I was going to set her up with iPeng to play all of her music across the house (I have it and love that solution). However, it seems as though the receiver can no longer be found online. So I'm considering just getting a SB Radio. Only thing is that the connection will have to be a 3.5mm to red/white converter cable for the sound, and I want to make sure that will sound okay - doesn't need to be audiophile quality, but I still want it to be good. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks! Are you trying to play her music, or just internet radio?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] not an auspicious start
Spoke with a Logitech rep today. They are sending me a prepaid return label--I'm to return the defective unit directly to Logitech, and they'll ship me a new one. It's better than returning it to Amazon and waiting until they have more in stock.

bluegaspode wrote: The radio is not reconnecting to MySB if your provider switches your IP every night (very common in europe). A bit OT, but a lot of ISPs switch IP values frequently, even during a session. The DHCP protocol has time limits for leases, and the client (in this case the Radio) just asks for a new address as the end of the lease approaches. Its normal. AOL used to do it every twenty minutes or so. Its really bad form for a device to assume that its IP address will stay the same for a long time.

Unless there are new features I haven't found yet, iPeng doesn't Play Music, it controls Squeezebox Players. It sounds like she needs a Receiver, SB3, or Touch to send the music to a stereo. If no stereo and needs a unit that can actually produce sound, then a Squeezebox Boom or SB Radio. Why would anybody buy an SB Radio to run the headphone out into a stereo when it can play music on its own?

The strange thing is why it is bothering the radio at all. When the router changes its internet-IP, the radio still keeps its own local-network IP that was assigned by DHCP. So my wild guess is, that it's some strange effect on the MySB.com side.
