[SlimDevices: Radio] One problem, among many
I have numerous problems with my SBR Hardware version 5 Firmware version 7.5.1 r8837, but I will describe one which is 100% repeatable, and not temporarily correctable by rebooting. I use mysqueezebox.com (I do not run Squeezebox server). If I am listing to a station, any station, and then power down the radio by pushing the power button, the radio switches to the clock display and the audio stop...this is all as it should. When I subsequently want to start the radio by pushing the power button, it appears to resume, but the connection to the radio station is apparently not retried..if it is it is unsuccessful. The only way to get the radio to resume is to manually reselect the station. This is most easily done by programming one of the six selection keys to a desired station. Upon pushing one of them the radio immediately reconnects and plays. If instead I set the timeout, say to 15 minutes, and the alarm clock to 'start' after this, say 10 minutes later, the radio shuts down at 15 minutes as it should, then at the alarm time (in this instance 10 minutes later) the radio restarts, but fails to play. It behaves, in other words, exactly as described in the preceding paragraph. There are other problems, which require rebooting to temporarily fix, but I should think the simple problem I described above, if others are experiencing it represent a firmware issue which needs to be resolved. Can others reproduce the exact problem I am describing? -- Ron Stordahl Ron Stordahl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39204 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80785 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I don't think the radio is supposed to start up the stream that was playing when it was turned off when it is turned back on. I know that is what a normal radio does, but I don't think this radio was designed to do that. I may be wrong. The only way to get the radio to resume is to manually reselect the station.

The whole issue of the radio turning on and off randomly and/or the alarm not sounding properly may be due to two bugs that look like they will be fixed in the next firmware release. See post number 70 here (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79825page=7) along with the two bug reports at Bugzilla (Bug 16170 and Bug 16295). The radio behaves much better if it is never turned off. -- ciarmer ciarmer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80785 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] One problem, among many
With regard to the radio resuming the station playing at the time it was turned off: This seems much to me like a fault as it acts the same way when using the alarm. If the radio will not play when the alarm time is reached then what good is the alarm? To me it seems like the same problem as powering down and then up. As regards firmware updates, I have it it just short of a month with many problems, ranging from screen freeze to unexpected reboots. It surprises me that Logitech would actually sell a product with so many known faults. If I were in charge I would suspend sales/shipments until the claimed functionality actually worked. But that is just me! -- Ron Stordahl Ron Stordahl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39204 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80785 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] One problem, among many
Power On Resume behavior is a configurable option when using a local Squeezebox Server. Is it completely missing from MySqueezebox.com settings? Since it's not configurable, does anyone know for certain what the expected behavior is? If it does not resume playback when powered on, isn't simply pressing 'Play' enough to resume the stream? The radio station should still be in the playlist, so I don't see why you would have to queue it up again via preset or other means. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80785 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Note also that the Radio will respond to the Play button even when off. So you can restart the stream with a single press - but of the Play button, not the Power button. -- Mark Miksis Mark Miksis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80785 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] One problem, among many
The Settings-Player-Audio-Power On Resume setting which Marc describes in SBS does not appear to be available in the SBR menu nor on mysqueezebox.com. However pushing the 'play' button does wake up the radio and it resumes. That is acceptable so I withdraw that criticism. I will have to experiment further with the alarm, setting it via mysqueezebox.com...but not tonight, its late. I did mention there were other problems...one very annoying one is when switching between stations, using the presets, the screen on the radio will occasionally freeze at the station I was listening to, but the music will switch to the new preset I have pushed. After this happens all the presets remain functional, but the screen is frozen. The only way out of this is to reboot.
