That would be great! In fact, SqueezeNetwork always-on functionality for listening to any streaming Internet radio without being connected to a PC was the decisive argument for me to purchase SB2, so I would really appreciate a quick implementation of this feature.

For the time being, yes. We expect to turn on this capability very soon. Stay tuned!

Re: [slim] Re: SqueezeNetwork Alpha up and running...
Expect to see in the near future, a web interface for the SqueezeNetwork always-on functionality. This will allow you to edit your favorites from a browser. Unfortunately, the mms: stream that you mention will not be immediately available through the SqueezeNetwork. Radio stations currently stream directly to your Squeezebox, so we only support formats decoded natively by the SB2 - MP3 today (and FLAC, but that's not significant in the context of streaming). --Vidur ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: SqueezeNetwork Alpha up and running...
The Computer-Off functionality provided by SqueezeNetwork is exactly the reason why I had decided to buy Squeezebox2 instead of any other streaming client -- I simply do not want to be forced to have the computer running all day just to be able to listen to my favourite internet radio station. So thanks a lot for turning this feature on now! Setup went very quick and well, without any problem to report. The only thing I could not get sorted out so far is: How to set up (save) any own favourites, internet radio stations and rss sources? I have a number of particular internet radio streams stored on my slimserver as playlist files and I am wondering how to save these "bookmarks" on my SqueezeNetwork account in order to be able to connect to them with the computer being turned off, such as ... -> mms://213.200.64.231/motorfm%24livestream.wma -> http://mp3.d-radio.t-bn.de/live_dlr and so on. Same problem for RSS feeds, such as ... -> http://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker.rdf -> http://www.spiegel.de/schlagzeilen/rss/index.xml I cannot see how to save these URLs in a way that makes them available to my SB2 without the computer/slimserver running. Thanks in advance for any hint on this issue. Hope it will be of interest for other users as well.

I don't recall if I was 'prompted', per se, or if I went into Settings on my own. Just tried it again. Signed off and then back on. I see an _extremely_ brief message in the smallest font size and then it drops me into the date/time screen saver that I chose. -- JJZolx ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: SqueezeNetwork Alpha up and running...
Congratulations! It works well! Seemed to have a little problem connecting at first, but after a few tries it got there. When it connects it goes immediately into my chosen screensaver, which is date/time. It might be good to have an indication on that screen that you're connected to SqueezeNetwork. Maybe on all screens. I don't use the remote much, so the interface is fairly foreign, but it would be nice if the right-arrow button were equivalent to 'Play' when a radio station is displayed. I was wondering why I wasn't getting anywhere until I eventually tried 'Play'. Duh. Are settings and favorites kept on a central server or in NVRAM? If the former, how is a network or player identified and will a person see the same favorites on all of the Squeezeboxes on his/her network? -- JJZolx ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
