Re: [slim] Radio stations don't get updated
I figured out it was not the LMS that prevented the notebook from going to sleep. It is spooler. Not sure how the service got started because I didn't print anything from the notebook for months. After stopping the service and deleted all the "unfinished print job files" in a file folder, The notebook can go to sleep when LMS is running. I set the "prevent LMS from standby" to 3 minutes and Windows to sleep at 10 minutes. I usually force the system to sleep with the dedicated button on the external keyboard if I am using it for other tasks. The sleep setting will kick in when the computer is only used as LMS in case I am too lazy or forget. I can't see why it is much less convenient than a dedicated constantly-running server since one doesn't have to worry about putting the notebook to sleep. To wake it up, if Wake-on-Lan works (a shame I haven't figured it out), it only takes one click in the squeezer app. If someone uses squeezer app to control the players, the app has to be opened anyway. Some online reviews on the Pi 4 say it has heat management problem too while the Pi 400 is better in that because there is a large piece of aluminum plate covering the entire bottom of the keyboard case and it is 15% faster. But as a cheap bastard, I think it is also over-priced, especially when I already have two reppurposed laptops set up. Letting one multi-tasking actually saves space and energy. I think we should be more concerned about old receivers, for 35 watts at standby is what a modern 55' 4K LED TV uses at work (about 1/3 brightness). verycd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I am sure PI 4 would be much faster for the task. glad you didn't feel pushed :) when you hooked the USB drive to the touch, and were not happy two things were in play: 1) While previous sb devices had "out of the box" through mysb.com exclusively, the touch expanded the out of box by added a small version of LMS, referred to as "tiny LMS". It too is no longer supported and ironically, also suffers the http/https limitation. There is alot of discussion here on it, it is crash prone if you try to do too much (play, scan, and flip through menus at the same time). Seems like that is what you experienced. I setup a non tech friend with the touch running tiny LMS and a thumb drive of music and it did fine for him. I eventually got him a picoreplayer (server) for the https thing, and, because he enjoys the radio paradise streams, this gave him the FLAC streams. He still doesn't know why he needs the little box (pCP) hooked to his router, oh well...:rolleyes: 2) If your USB drive did not have a separate power supply, perhaps the touch USB could not power it, but perhaps you checked that.

Your original post reflected disappointment that the touch stand alone operation (mysb.com) was not maintained like other devices, like phones. It would not update/play old radio station urls as radio urls migrate from http to https. Sometimes the old http streams are alive, sometimes not. This is due to the fact that mysb.com has not been maintained for years, however, logitech has kept it alive for legacy purposes. The suggested answer to fix the problem for your touch is to have something running LMS. You asked for a solution where you didn't have to keep the PC on, so many of us suggested the raspberry pi. Sorry if maybe we (I) pushed too hard, a lot of us adore the fact that you can run a extremely versatile and powerful music server on such an inexpensive platform, myself included. Of course a lot of other hardware, PC's, Phones, etc can have a more convenient and robust UI (like the podcast interface as you mentioned), but, if you try the material skin on your phone, PC, pad, it has a real nice UI, and fairly decent podcast management. In summary to your op,yes, maintenance of the sb devices as standalone devices was dropped when logitech discontinued the line, but maintenance and development of the product line and ecosystem/LMS lived on thanks to the members of this community and especially those that contribute their time in development (thank you, thank you, thank you!).
