This will never really be perfect since most amps and speakers also won't really have a strict linear or logarithmic volume level response, yet it would be good to be able to compensate for the bigger differences. Right now I just do an average of a linear and a relative change (linear meaning +1 volume would increase volume on each device on a "Squeezebox" level 1 tick and relative would mean a 1% change would change the volume on each device by 1% of it's current level) which works remarkably well considering the fact that the underlying volume ramps are probably dramatically different. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69987 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Waking up with Last.fm - no alarm menu
Ok, now that it happened four times in a row, I'm, sure that this an issue that not happens by chance: I'm currently using the Radio to wake me up with Last.fm. And while the music starts playing at the correct time, the snooze/off menu is not shown. Instead the Radio displays the main menu. Furthermore it doesn't respond to the knob and also doesn't display the screen saver. Even when I turn the Radio off and on again, still the main menu is shown and doesn't respond. Only if I press back/left I can move the cursor again. I would suspect this is the same issue I described in [URL=https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14766]Bug 14766], apart from the fact that I don't press any button to reach this unresponsive state. Also this happens only the first time in the morning. If I program further alarms to reproduce it, it doesn't happen. I suspect that this only happens after a longer period of inactivity for whatever reason. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Sync is very slightly off.
Conflakeguy, read the following error cases carefully. I can't say that sync is flawless, but when it is working (99% of the time), I can't spot any timing difference between my players. The 1% is below .. Ikabob, Matt, I also see occasionally sync. issues, which are normally provoked by some other event and then leave one or more players off by between 0.5 and 2 seconds. The player then stays that way, even if stopped started, etc. but will re-sync perfectly when power-cycled (via mains for SB3,Boom and SBR, the Radio via press and hold standby). Cross-fade is always set to 'none'. For me, the problem was most noticeable on 7.3.3 and I suspect was aligned to the rebuffering problem (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13092) which was reduced by upgrading router firmware and almost eliminated by using Homeplugs instead of wi-fi. With 7.4 production, I have mothablled an SBR (and iHome clock radio) and replaced with a Radio, which is currently running wireless (in anticipation of battery and mobility). When I then use SqueezePlay Beta, I have problems connecting to my library (some days fine, others awful). Whilst Squeezeplay is trying to connect the existing sync'd streams stutter (as they do when a new player is added). Just tried to replicate using Squeezeplay to provoke but it wouldn't find server and sync was undamaged, will try again tomorrow. I concur with Matt, in post #15, somehow a player (or more than one) gets into a state where it is out of sync and is only reset by power-cycling.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Sync is very slightly off.
Ikabob: Try streaming the same station(s) you are having sync issues with on MySB using SBS, see if the sync is maintained tighter. My guess is you are experiencing "drift" on MySB. Unless they changed how players function when synced on MySB, here is the difference between SBS and MySB sync when playing a radio stream: SBS: server gets a single stream, shares it with all synced players, better sync MySB: each player connected to MySB gets it's own unique stream even when "synced", not so great sync (i.e. drift) Put another way: If you are streaming a 128k radio stream to four "synced" players: SBS = 1x128k stream via your ISP, shares this single stream with four players, ISP usage = 128k MySB = 4x128k = 512k, each player getting it's own unique stream, ISP usage = 512k -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68954 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I have concerns about Squeezebox Radio based on some of the initial feedback about the quality of the hardware itself. I know that Sean and company used to obsess about providing rock solid hardware AND firmware/software for their product. I doubt Logitech has the same fanatical attention to detail. I'll give another example... Harmony. Logitech bought Harmony and for a while all was good. Then they started to greatly cheapen the construction of the devices, to the point that I've literally had five different Harmony 880 remotes replaced during warranty due to the ultra cheap construction quality. Additionally the new product the Harmony 700, which has replaced the 880 is apparently a total piece of junk with cheap buttons, no charging cradle, etc. I guess you could say I don't have warm fuzzy feelings about Logitech, they are harlots. I do have warm feelings about Slim Devices though, it's too bad that they got acquired by Logitech is all. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69719 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Power down/Sleep?
Wild guess is that it has lost a connection to the server. Next time you encounter this just turn the Volume knob, see what happens. If it immediately jumps to the connecting *spinny* then this is indeed what is happening. I leave my Radio on for days and it always has a screen showing, but it sometimes will have self rebooted or lost connection to the server after a while. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70015 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Power cycling is basically turning it off, waiting for a little while (depends on device, but 30 seconds is more than enough), and turning it back on. As DigitalMitch said -"(via mains for SB3,Boom and SBR, the Radio via press and hold standby)"-, meaning you should physically unplug an SB3, Boom, or SB Receiver, for the simple reason that they don't have on/off switches. On the SB Radio, make sure you hold the on/off/standby button (lower right) long enough that it completely powers off. Or simply unplug that just like you do the rest of the gear. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68954 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Not jumpy/choppy movement. Mine seems fluid at present, although I also see the short delay when pressing the power/standby button. Does it seem to happen with some commands/menus in particular (eg, those showing album art, or those where a long artist list is being generated), or is it all of them?

We spend obscene amounts of time trying to get things right. We're all very proud of the Radio, although there are some issues we still need to deal with.

Once you get a battery, you'll wonder how you got along without it. There are certainly some enhancements that we should put in the software to make things easier and better, but the idea that we are cutting corners in the design process is simply wrong.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] For those of you thinking about returning your Radio ...
I think from a hardware perspective the Radio is fantastic. I think there is a ton of attention to detail, and the sound quality is phenomenal for a device like this. Because of that, I probably won't return it. >From a software perspective I am very disappointed. The main reason for my disappointment is the (lack of) alarm functionality. I know that it is possible to make a fantastic computerized alarm clock. Check out the iPhone/iPod Touch Clock app if you don't believe me. It admirably performs the core function of an alarm clock (waking me up), but it also adds great value and flexibility in the way it wakes me up. I can set as many different alarms as I'd like, and have complete control and visibility over all of them. I also know that when I set an alarm on my iPod Touch, it will get loud enough to wake me up. In contrast, the SBRs alarms are: 1)too loud or too quiet (alarm volume doesn't work) 2)unpredictable due to the fact that when you set an alarm whilst connected to mysb.com, it doesn't always sync to squeezebox server. The reverse is also true. 3)unwieldy. you have to navigate several menus to set an alarm from the device. there is no indication of what time the next alarm will fire, until you are at least 3 menus deep. 4)not a very usable device for people who just want a beep to wake them up. BTW, there is an internal beeper for backup when network connectivity is lost. How about making that accessible as one of the sounds we can choose? If the alarm volume bug gets fixed, that would solve most of my problems. Since having the Radio, I've had alarms not go off, alarms go off when they weren't supposed to, alarms go off so quietly that nobody woke up, alarms go off so loudly that we thought we were under attack, alarms that couldn't be turned off, and a few other issues as well. The good news is that since the alarms are controlled by software, fixing these issues should be easy. The bad news is that they didn't get fixed through the beta process, so maybe it isn't a priority. I think alarm clock functionality should have been a much higher priority. Maybe a cloud based alarm clock is an idea whose time hasn't come yet. An internal device that just works would have been nice, then add on the ability to play streamed music or talk afterwords. I think a lot of existing squeezebox customers bought the radio as a bedside alarm clock, and listening device like I did. I think a lot of new squeezebox customers will freak out at how complicated logitech has made doing a simple thing like setting an alarm, like my wife did. I was hoping the Radio would increase WAF for squeezebox. It turns out to have done just the opposite. My wife won't touch it, and still uses the SB3 to listen to internet radio. Plus she's now setting the alarm on her phone as a backup to the SBR. I know this is a bit of a rant. To summarize, the Squeezebox Radio has definitely earned a place in my home. Whether it has earned a place on my nightstand remains to be seen. Thanks!

The LUA SqueezePlay UI work right now is focusing (obviously) on fixing major bugs... but trust me that performance is always something we're paying attention to.

If so, when 7.4.1 is released (very very soon), it should solve the issue. b) if the issue is present for you on a fresh-bootup, I'd recommend taking a small movie of the issues your seeing (most modern digital cameras can do this for you), and opening a bug @ http://bugs.slimdevices.com with the movie attached. Try to keep the movie small please.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] For those of you thinking about returning your Radio ...
Frankly, I don't mind hardware much. It sounded pretty good actually. The only cheap part are the buttons. Not just because of being non back-lit, but because of rubbery feel further exasperated by laggy response of certain functions. Also the volume knob felt less solid compared to the main dial. I read that high res vacuum florescent displays aren't cheap, and given mass production of LCDs I thought they may be actually cheaper. Sluggishness of the interface and amount of bugs made me sent it back. I just received my second Boom to replace it and could not be happier.
