[SlimDevices: Radio] Auto-On macro? / Reset when NAS off

2011-11-23 Thread Evil Overlord

Squeezebox Radio + ReadyNAS NV+

I have my NAS set to turn off every night, and re-start in the
morning.

When the NAS goes off, the Radio seems to forget what it was doing. 
This is true even when the Radio is off before the NAS, and on after. 
So, every day when I turn on the Radio, it shows a blank 'Now Playing'
screen, and I have to reselect a list.  I virtually always have the
Radio set to Random Albums, and I've added that choice to the home
screen, so it's not hard to get to, but I'd like to make it even
easier.

I'd like to set up the Radio so that whenever I turn it on, it heads
straight to 'Random Album'.  I've read this post
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69864), and it seems I
could use the KidsPlay plugin to redefine one of the preset buttons to
both turn the Radio on and go to Random Album.  But with only six
presets, I'd like to keep them for radio stations.

Any ideas?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Ratings info & MediaMonkey

2010-02-21 Thread Evil Overlord

It would certainly be more convenient to use the Squeezebox to enter
ratings - casually reach over and press a few buttons while listening
(or perhaps do it through the browser, though that's less convenient).

If need be, however, I'm prepared to do it through MediaMonkey (though
I don't use that to -listen- to music.  I've already used MM to set
quite a number of ratings.  It was my understanding that these were
stored in a fairly standard tag (known as "popularimeter" or something
similar).

I'll try the CustomScan plugin to see what that offers.

[SlimDevices: Radio] How to downgrade from 7.5 to 7.4.1

2009-10-22 Thread Evil Overlord

I installed a version of Squeezecenter 7.5 on my Squeezebox Radio and
ReadyNAS NV+, because 7.4.1 was also not ready.

Ironically, the next day, 7.4.1 for ReadyNAS was available.

I've had some problems with 7.5.1 (album art, very slow response time,
some freezing), and think it might be better to install the now
completed 7.4.1.

How would I do so?  I know how to update the ReadyNAS, but will that
still leave my Radio with 7.5, or will it automatically update?

[SlimDevices: Radio] Album art disappeared

2009-10-21 Thread Evil Overlord

Just bought and installed Squeezebox Radio.  Can't yet use for music
library, because no updated ReadyNAS software available.  I have,
however, set up radio stations, plus Pandora and LastFM.

1. Yesterday (day 1), Pandora or Last (can't recall which) quit
playing.
2. I checked the radio, pressed play, and music started up again.
3. However, the display was frozen on the last song/album art (playing
when it froze).
4. Changing stations had no effect.
5. Hard power off (holding down power button) partially restored the
display.
6. Now, menus are accessible, but there's no album art.  Presets for
Pandora and Last work, and music plays, but the display of "Now Playing"
says "Nothing."  Same is true even for regular radio stations, and for
access to Pandora through its app.

How can I get the album art back?
