This is just a pretty weak and much delayed explanation for the total MYSB disaster in Europe two weeks ago. E.g. it doesn't explain why classic Squeezeboxes could still connect to MYSB while all SqueezeOS based devices were not able to connect. Indeed the explanation even denies this fact and talks of a general problem, not one related to SqueezeOS devices. Well at least they did comment after two long weeks of ignoring this. Even if the comment is misleading and much too late. -- 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stream from the Squeezebox radio to the Squeezebox receiver
since the receiver is 'dumb' you need to use another control device to program the alarms into the server. This could be a controller (bundled with receiver as 'duet'), the web GUI,SB Radio, SB touch or iPeng. You'd need a controller or Touch to configure a receiver, or use the Net:UDAP function (search for this as I'm not familiar). -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4.1 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72519 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
BigPotato;492444 Wrote: I'm pretty sure the Roku devices don't have the same requirements as a SB regarding a server. The device may query a Roku server to check for firmware updates, but the internet radio functionality and a web server for configuration is all built-in. Way off topic, but this thread has pretty much run it's course anyway I had a chance encounter with a Roku user over the weekend at a Holiday party. We were both eyeing the party hosts Hi-Fi gear, so I knew we would hit it off. The conversation eventually turned to streaming devices. She has two Roku players, when I told her I use SqueezeBox players she slapped me and walked away. I'm kidding :) But she did reveal some interesting tidbits about Roku players that I think may answer how the Roku players can be utilized absent a server. The two most glaring tidbits were: 1. Roku players are limited to a total of 18 presets/favorites streams 2. Roku supports no third party Music Services (Napster, Pandora, Last.fm, etc..) Now, to be fair, she did say she only uses one model player (two of the same players in her home), she's never connected them to her computer, and she has not logged into the online Roku server in a LONG time. So she may not be up on the latest Roku offerings, but was rather confident the above issues were accurate in her usage. Are these stated restrictions true? Maybe you Roku users could comment? If they are true then that probably explains why a Roku player can be self managed within the player itself without need of a server. I'm not knocking the simplistic architecture of Roku players, but I guess simplicity has it's price: less configurable, less customizable, no Music Services, limited presets/favorites, fewer choices. I think it would be quite difficult to cram all of the SqueezeBox features, benefits, customizations, Music Services (and management of them), flexibility, etc.. into the hardware player itself. But then this feature rich architecture does require connection to a server. Advantages, disadvantages, and the associated price paid for each. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Imminent Return -- How to Fix Alarms? Search? Tone Controls?
I too have had problems with the Radio's alarm function. I am NOT in the EU, but in Southern California, USA. PLEASE, if you have this issue, vote for bug 14870: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14870 At least this bug shows a target of 7.4.x, and is marked major. Although I have a local server which runs 24/7, I believe my issue is also with mysb.com. I was using one of the sound effects as my alarm sound, and would not get an alarm probably 2 out of 5 days. The radio would display the dialog to turn off the alarm, but no sound and no indication of a problem. I then realized these sound effects actually are accessed via mysb.com. I have since defined a local track on my server to be my alarm sound, and it has worked daily for at least 2 weeks. I also disagree with the previous poster that the alarm is not the Radio's function... if not #1, then pretty darn close as the alarm button would indicate! Face it, it's an internet clock radio (with pretty darn good sound) - it NEEDS to do a good job as an ALARM CLOCK! Let's make some more noise on bugzilla for this! (That is, Vote on the bug...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
Yes and no. Depends which Roku device you're talking about. The Roku Radio is as described -- it does have an AM/FM radio in addition to wireless internet radio, which has 18 presets that can be programmed. The radio does not play other sources aside from internet radio, which is fine with me but may be a drawback for other users. Internet radio is all I want for my clock radio; they can keep the AM/FM as far as I am concerned as well, since we live in an area with zero reception. It can be controlled totally from my computer, if desired, but computer is not necessary. The Roku Soundbridge devices, which have no speakers, send music from other sources through your stereo as well as internet radio. WMA, MP3, AAC, AIFF, ALAC, and WAV music formats are supported. Also can be controlled from same interface on computer, but not necessary unless you are playing a source that is stored there. I don't use any of these services, but they claim to support the following: Rhapsody, Napster, Walmart.com, MusicMatch, MusicNow, and a number of others. Didn't see LastFM listed, but didn't look real hard.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
On the face of it the Roku M1000 series (the only ones I'm familiar with) seemed to have a number of advantages over the correponding SlimDevices offerings at the time (SB1). 1. Configure and access internet radio stations without a server 2. Access local uPnP servers 3. Play PlaysForSure media Since they also implemented the SlimProto, you could also use them with a local SlimServer. However, the Roku firmware was always a step behind the Slim stuff and my personal experience was that the SlimDevices were far more reliable. Since PlaysForSure is dead and the SqueezeBox Server software is better than most (all?) uPNP/DLNA servers, the only real advantage of the Roku is that you can access a limited number of radio stations without a server. However, the web configuration screen is primitive and the Roku firmware hasn't been updated in long time. Being able to access a radio station was pretty hit and miss in my experience, with no recourse if it didn't work. In the end my Roku's are gathering dust, but my original SB1 is still in use. -- BigPotato BigPotato's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
