Re: [slim] Synchronization for dummies

2009-02-02 Thread markbieg

Hello,

Just my two cents since I have 3 players (Duet, SB3 and Boom) and have
been confused and mixed up a couple of times trying to sync players. 
It gets really confusing when using the SBC to control all of the
devices, bouncing back and forth selecting which device to control and
then trying to sync from whatever is currently selected.  I think part
of the problem is with the concept of sync with  It is not
specific enough.

Why not use new terms like join and share?  And, give both choices
to the user no matter what box they are currently controlling.  For
example, if I have the SBC currently on the Duet receiver and want to
sync with the Boom, I would get the choices to 1. Join Boom or 2.
Share with Boom.  The first choice to Join would have whatever is
playing on the Boom also play on the Duet.  The choice to Share would
have whatever is playing on the Duet also play on the Boom.

Would that make things more clear?

Mark: 1 Month Credit (January 2009)...and was told by their tech support
to just keep calling for monthly credits until it is fixed.

I'd rather have it working...

[slim] Runaway Volume

2008-08-18 Thread markbieg

I sent the following message to Logitech Support, but I really want to
konw if anyone has experienced this problem:

When pressing the volume up button on the SBC and then releasing the
button, the volume continued to increase out of control. Then in a
panic to turn it down, the same problem occured as the volume continued
to decrease after releasing the button until all the way down. This
problem happened twice now in two completely different situations. The
first time it happened when using the SBC with the SBR on one audio
system. I thought it was a fluke. But, a few days later it happened
again on a different audio system with the SBC controlling a SB3. It is
not simply a delayed response of the volume when holding down the
volume button (as I have experienced many times), but a quick press and
release of the volume button (to attempt to turn up volume just a notch)
with the quite shocking and loud result of runaway volume.

Thanks. Mark.

[slim] Is RadioParadise Album Art on Squeezebox Controller possible?

2008-08-12 Thread markbieg

I was wondering if anyone was working on a way to display Album Cover
Art on the Squeezebox Controller for RadioParadise.  I know the artwork
is not displayed for basic internet radio, but there should be a way for
someone to get the artwork from the RadioParadise site based on what is
currently playing.

I don't fully understand what info is being sent via an internet radio
station stream that is different from the stream of Pandora or
Rhapsody.  Can someone explain the difference?

I know there are a lot of talented programmers on this forum and I'm
sure someone is just itching to step up to the challenge of displaying
real-time cover art with the RP stream on the SB Controller!  I'm sure
Bill at RadioParadise would even help out from his side if needed.
