So it appears that Touch and Radio get their firmware files from some other server out there. Add the controller to that as well.

Re: [slim] Logitech simply cancelled my order
The squeezebox works for me, and I take it for what it is. If you need customer service or support buy the Sonos, Logitech has some of the worst customer service in the industry from my experience. They are a company that grew up mass producing keyboards, mice, remotes, etc. They don't have the heritage or culture for good customer service around a software product. Just my two cents. -- jwagner010 jwagner010's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82886 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Logitech website
Yeah I agree but the scrolling is the least of their problems. Their website just shows a bunch of 'Wi-Fi Music Players', they don't educate people that this is a system and how all the components work together. This is a case study in the making of the worst marketing / transaction integration I have seen. Logitech knows how to sell Peripheral / Add on devices (mouse, keyboard, remotes, etc) they don't know how to sell systems and educate buyers on systems / eco systems. This spells bad news for the future of the squeezebox as much of the value in the squeezebox is the system (how it works together) and the community around it that drives innovation and continuous improvement. I predict the squeezebox line being dumped by logitech in 18 to 24 months, hopefully we have a management buy out and the old slimdevices crew getting back together to rescue it. -- jwagner010 jwagner010's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79503 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Playlist Name Changes by Itself
Today I contacted Logitech Support on this issue and was informed they would not help me with this problem because Squeezeserver was running on a Synology (Unix) NAS and they don't support this NAS. I pointed out its not NAS support but SqueezeServer application support. They wouldn't listen. This never would have happened before Slim Devices was purchased by Logitech. Big brother has started to make its stamp. I cannot even say its bad customer service, the fact is they refuse to give Customer Service / Support. Shame on you Logitech. You have lost me as a customer on all your products. Shame Shame Shame on you. Any potential purchasers be aware and think twice about the SqueezeBox platform. -- jwagner010 jwagner010's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74614 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Playlist Name Changes by Itself
I am running 7.4.1 on a Synology NAS. I have one single playlist defined on the box called Rock it Out. The name of the playlist changes itself to Yahoo! News: Business after a few days. I change it back but then a few days later it is changed back to Yahoo! News: Business. What is going on? Why is the SqueezeServer changing my playlist name to Yahoo! News: Business?

Re: [slim] Ceiling Speakers to Connect to Squeezebox Receiver
Thanks for the quick replys. I agree building an Amp into the receiver would make this a no brainer in my purchasing decision. I will check out the AudioSource AMP 100 in the interim. If others have other cheap Amps with auto detection of signal let me know. -- jwagner010 jwagner010's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62190 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Ceiling Speakers to Connect to Squeezebox Receiver
I would like to connect a set of in ceiling speakers or in wall speakers to a Squeezebox receiver and then use the Squeezebox Controller to control the music delivered through the speakers. However, I notice that the Squeezebox receiver requires connection to an AMP or powered speakers. Seems like I will need to buy and install an AMP and put it between the speakers and the Receiver. However, this becomes another device I need to manage and I would just like to use the one controller in this case the Squeezebox Controller. Has anyone got suggestions for my setup and keeping things simple (I am not a big fan of the Boom)? -- jwagner010 jwagner010's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62190 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
