[slim] Better SqueezeCenter/Boom Alarm clock features
I'm slowly turning my wife into a gadget hound like me. She's accepted the Tivo, Harmony, and the SLIMP3/Squeezebox 3/Boom in the house so far (and suggested we need another Boom for the kitchen, but that's another story). The Boom is in our bedroom where it's playing nice quiet music to sleep to. I'd like to pull out the alarm clock we have in the room so that I have only the Boom acting as clock, alarm, and music player. I've set the alarm schedule via SqueezeCenter, but it's not doing what I really want. This morning, the first alarm went off at the right time, but the only way to turn off the alarm is to turn the Boom off. When I turn it back on, it's still set to play the audio file that is acting as alarm and the previous playlist is gone. What I really want is: - save the current playlist (even up to the song that's currently playing) - start alarm playlist (whatever is configured for that alarm) - on poweroff or snooze, go back to previous playlist and volume level - repeat for next alarm A quick search hasn't found a plugin to do this, but I'd love to be wrong. -Mark ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I must say, that v0.95 is very nice indeed :) Only some minor cosmetic things: When the WIFI is off, and I switch on the application, the WIFI is turned on automatically. (VERY nice feature, by the way). The server status will show (forgot the exact words but something like this): - Switching on WIFI - Connecting to server... - No route to host, check your network settings - Connected to server So it works like it should, but maybe a longer timeout value before the No route to host message is shown. Some non-standard characters are still shown like %xx%xx . I noticed it mainly with the danish special characters, like æ ø å Æ Ø Å -and the sign is still shown as an underscore _ Apart from the above mentioned, the application is super. The 3 add to playlist icons are easy enough to understand IMHO.

I have quite a new Dell PC on Vista connected to the interent with a Fairly old Speedtouch 570. I understand this is an internet modem/wireless router combo? I was sent this by Tiscali a few years back when we went on Broadband. But it doesnt have enough outputs so I linked up a Belkin Wireles G Router that someone had lying around to the Speedtouch. Somehow it worked and the Squeezebox worked straight out of the box. (it wouldnt connect to the Speedtouch just the Belkin). The controller is a bit flakey, and I get buffering when trying to play FLAC. So I was wondering if, my kit is a shambles, and if so whats good stuff to buy.

Re: [slim] whats my wireless setup like?
A common source of wireless issues are interference from neighboring wireless networks. If you have neighbors running on the same channel as you, the performance won't be that good and you will likely get dropouts. With a laptop, you don't notice this type of thing really unless you are streaming media. As a quick experiment, you could try the far ends of the spectrum and see what works. You could try channel 1. If that doesn't work, then try channel 11. It's likely that you (and all of your neighbors) are on the default channel of 5 (?? It's been a while, I forget which channel is typically the default. It's either 5 or 6). Another common household source of interference is the microwave. And then there are some cordless phones that can interfer. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

Re: [slim] whats my wireless setup like?
You will want the Belkin router to be your wireless access point and router. I believe you will have to have that connected to the SpeedTouch (I would expect the LAN port of the Belkin router is connected to the ethernet port of the speedtouch). I don't know if you can configure the Speedtouch, but if you can I would turn its wireless OFF (it runs old 802.11b, which is now pretty much obsolete). I also don't know if there will be an issue with its DHCP server, but maybe not since it will be on the LAN side of the Belkin router. Is your Squeezebox player connecting to the Belkin via wireless? If it's as close as you say, you should be able to wire it? If you could, I would suggest that as that's one less wireless interface to worry about... however you'll have to figure out how to configure your squeezebox to connect via the wired instead of the wireless (I don't think it's automatic, so if it's configured wireless then just connecting up the wired ethernet won't cause it to use the wired port, you'll have to configure it... process will depend on what squeezebox hardware you have, I think). Of course, the Controller has to be connected wireless, so finding the best channel is still worthwhile. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64925 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Sorry for the bad picture quality of the attached image, didn't want to expose too much since the left part is a bit reflective and can expose things I don't want to be exposed yet. The left part of this beta testing unit is based on a Squeezebox Classic which probably look familiar and the right touch screen part is newer and based on an iPod Touch from Apple. As you can see from the picture the design and docking connections between the different parts has not been finalized yet in this early beta testing unit. When Apple and Logitech has realized the potential, joined forces and finalized the design, I'm sure the left and right part will fit together more nicely.
