Re: [slim] Is there a limit to the number of favourites you can have?
This is great. One of my wife's complaints about switching between SBS and mysb.com (when we let our server go into suspend state) is that the Favorites look different, because I have folders on SBS but not on mysb. I think my favorites.opml will soon be my _only_ Favorite on mysb.com. When testing I noticed that the mysb.com web remote control doesn't seem to know how to handle the opml file in mysb Favorites. I almost never use the mysb remote control, so it's not a big deal, but I am curious if others are seeing the same thing. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Is there a limit to the number of favourites you can have?
Correct, Remote Control Favorites cannot access the OPML file. I'm guessing for two reasons: 1. MySB web UI cannot understand folders nor OPML 2. the OPML file is a link to a file, it's not actually a favorite as MySB web UI would understand it -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Is there a limit to the number of favourites you can have?
It really does work nicely. I manage these station favorites on SBS then do the OPML upload to my online file share service. But an FYI to others using this concept, there are some catches. Issues using SBS to manage these: 1. SBS should have a separate MySB (or internet radio) OPML folder so it does not mix in music files with internet streams 2. SBS displays AAC streams which I cannot use on MySB with my older players, would be nice to filter out AAC streams on SBS as an option 3. SBS (or RadioTime via SBS) will sometimes not give accurate file type info, where it says the stream is MP3 (or no designation at all) when in fact it is an AAC stream Issues uploading the OPML (not really the fault of MySB): 4. Every time I update my OPML file to my online file share I get a different URL to use 5. Now I must update MySB Favorites with the new URL #1 is why I'd love for SBS and MySB to Sync this shared and individual OPML file. #4 #5 are why I'd love for MySB to handle this (no URL changes) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Ah, thank you! Boy, did I misunderstand that one. I thought you were uploading an OPML file via MySB. I am not the most tech savvy. So, somehow, I need to find a place on the internet to host this OPML file which MySB Favorites sees as a simple Favorite listed item. I'd love to play with this, any ideas on a simple way and place to host such a file? Having Folders via MySB has long been a feature request.

I think my ISP offers a personal web page as part of their service so I might just activate that now. I wonder if, someday, MySB could have an App like Advanced MySB Favorites where we could upload such small OPML text files for such use. We could manage these Favorites via a separate menu item on SBS (like Favorites on MySB is currently a separate menu item within SBS Favorites), then simply upload this separate OPML file through such an App. Being such small text files it probably would not stress out MySB.com very much, would it?

Re: [slim] Is there a limit to the number of favourites you can have?
I had never even noticed that I had a small free personal web space with my COX internet service. Doesn't allow too much space, but way more than I need for opml files. I activated it, and using the webpage management page at cox.net, I uploaded an opml file, with folder, etc. from my local SbS. First I'm thinking, cool... I can have folders when accessing from mysb.com (which I do use currently from one location). But then I'm thinking, nice, I can give the URL to my friends and family that are using SB products, and they can add it as a favorite and see stations that I think are interesting, organized by folder. And they'll even automatically have any changes I make to the favorites. And previously, I could send my brother my opml file to save as favorites, but that forced him to use my favorites instead of his. Now he can have all his own favorites AND have a menu item to see my favorites if he chooses to. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

To checlk whether the host is suitable - When you have created a link - if you click on the link in a browser you should see the OPML text. You could use Google Code and just have a single file in your Project or perhaps add the opml file amongst a real project. Not sure if Google would like the number of download but it will serve to test usability for you. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84798 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
