[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

It's solved my multiple remote problems, though in all honesty my TV is a fit finicky, and I really should spend another half an hour figuring out some things so that switching from Tivo to TV to HDTV to DVD really is a one-button operation. The 880 has a USB interface and you program it from the Logictech/Harmony web site -- a nice feature.Another vote for the 880. It's as spouse-friendly as the Tivo and Squeezebox. We almost always use the activities, and I've programmed the soft buttons to work with most of the things that we want to do. It's good enough that if something gets stuck (the TV doesn't power on, etc.), the help buttons will let you navigate through and fix it easily. -Mark ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sorry, but no. Linux marketshare is definitely growing - don't ignore it. Yes. But to push one product with another you need a far bigger chunk of the market than Linux currently has. Redhat or other Linux distributors are in no position to push a certain audio codec. Much of Slim Devices' success to this point can probably be attributed to Linux users. -Mark signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
