Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] preset and favorite bugs w/server 7.4.1
Many SB customers use these players almost exclusively for Internet Radio usage, and the SB Radio is particularly geared for that purpose. So much so that out of the box setup pretty much insists on connecting to MySB online, which is great for first time SB users with no local server but is then overly complicated for existing SB users running a local server. As Radish suggests, for Internet Radio Podcast usage, just leave it on MySB online. You'll give up some UI and customization controls using MySB over SBS, but it also reduces the complexity for online content usage. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70268 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] preset and favorite bugs w/server 7.4.1
So, it the preset and favorite handling is an acknowledged bug? On the idea of using a single server, seeing how screwed up the handling having both SBS and MySB is, I guess I have no choice! Bummer given that I bought the radio for Internet Radio and podcasts! Apparently this isn't really possible without breaking the presets and favotites. Just making the problem clear. On your proposed work around... How do I force the unit to stick with MySB.com? That is my strong preference as the PC with the SBS on it isn'talways around or on. I cannot find any setting to force the radio to always use MySB... Must I delete the SBS server software from my PC? Side note: (As Product Manager myself, I understand how a product can come out with these kinds of issues, especially when new. I'd suggest one of the problems with this radio at the moment is that it is marketed as an Internet Radio, but much more sophisticated functionality has been left in place (and some of that functionality is broken). Thus there is alot of opportunity for customer confusion. I foolishly thought I was buying an Internet radio... I didn't realize I had two servers to deal with! I can deal with this, but I suspect less network savvy customers are in for a bit of work or confusion. -- vintage veloce vintage veloce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33790 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70268 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] preset and favorite bugs w/server 7.4.1
If all you want is internet radio then just don't run the server at all, and it'll happily sit on mysb.com. -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!'

[SlimDevices: Radio] Consider buying this radio - does it have a stereo outlet for a amplifer?
I have already the duet with the controller and looking for a secondary radio. Wondering if I can control it with the Duet's controller?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Can't connect to server
Thanks for the suggestions, though. I've no idea what the problem was, I have been tearing my hair out. But in the end, I realised that I had a bootable backup from before the problem (in fact, from before I even got the Radio). Tried booting from that and the Radio connected fine. So software issue, not failed hardware. Had to do a fair bit of juggling to restore from the duplicate and slowly add back files that had changed since that time. Currently working ok, though I would be happier if I knew what has caused the problem, so that I could deal with it if it came back. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70238 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Wrong item plays
So I've been playing around with my new Radio (after solving a weird problem I had, which hopefully will not recur). But I find that when I select an item from my Music Folder and click to play it, a different item plays. Usually the previous item, but at times it has been several items earlier. I guess that I may have inadvertently move the central know at the same time I was pressing it, but if so then the knob is too sensitive. If that's not the reason, then there is something odd going on. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70382 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Hello, I just got a SB radio and am happy with it. Only issue is that it seems only to play when the PC is turned on.
