Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Dimmer not staying dim
Mine is about 2 feet from me. While light surfaces, night stand and bedding, they are not white and don't think they would be doing too much to reflect. -- Shaggadoo Shaggadoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34349 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71521 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Dimmer not staying dim
When it gets brighter at night the background of the clock is not plain black, but a gradient from black to white. -- Shaggadoo Shaggadoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34349 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71521 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable
You have to be connected to the internet to play an -alarm sound-? If that is true, that's an absolutely ridiculous concept. As if my cell phone had to download the ring tone from the carrier everytime when someone calls me. Even playing a sound from the local server is not much better. As I understand it, audio is transferred via HTTP which has no built-in error detection. For example, if the network has a hiccup while the server is sending data, you might end up with an audio file with a size of 0 bytes. The alarm sound should be downloaded in advance and stored in the radio's memory when you set the alarm, everything else just has to fail sooner or later. (Of course that would only be applicable to regular alarm sounds, not to radio streams. But then, when you set a radio alarm on a conventional alarm clock and the station suffers an outage, you won't hear anything either.) -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71585 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

usch;487928 Wrote: You have to be connected to the internet to play an -alarm sound-? The alarm-times are configured in the device but stored on the server (MySB.com or Local-Server). At least for the first alarm the devices save the time locally and (are supposed to) play a 'backup/fallback sound' if something goes wrong. With the Boom thats some beeping, the Radio has a local mp3 with some 'funky' music but I also had times when it started to beep as well. So (except the situation where power fails) at least everyone should be waken regardles of server-status and errors. Unfortunately this mechanism doesn't work currently very well :( Thats why people most of the time have problems when: - connected to MySB.com and having switching IPs (as the radio currently has big troubles automatically reconnecting to MySB.com with a changed IP) As most providers (at least here in germany) shortly disconnect and change IP at midnight, tests on the evening always work but the alarm fails next morning. - have a local server that is not stable - have wakeup-streams that are not stable Rumour goes, that the upcoming Touch release is currently prioritized higher than fixing the alarm problems.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable
The changed IP really can't be the problem. I reconnected my router manually several timers and the MYSB connection was still there. Maybe changing the IP contributes to the problem in a way, but this can't be the main source of the issue. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71585 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to make network selection sticky?
aubuti;487133 Wrote: Mine just reconnects, and I don't think there's a setting that controls this. Have you tried un-hiding your SSID to see if that's causing the problem? If so, you should be fine leaving it unhidden, because hiding the SSID doesn't really enhance your security. I don't think it adds any security beyond what you have with WPA2 and a strong passphrase. No joy. I did a little more research and decided to un-hide my SSID; makes no difference. If I turn the Radio all the way off (press and hold the on/off button), or unplug-replug, it boots up and does not reconnect. I have to manually go into networking and reconnect. Guess I should file a bug report... -- kmr kmr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10664 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Battery Availability Pushed to February 2010
jmpage2;487618 Wrote: I actually had a power failure yesterday at my home and bizarrely the Radio came back up when power was restored but the WiFi symbol was red and it wasn't connected to anything (my home server and network were up on UPS during the entire power failure so nothing other than the Radio went offline). I had to reboot the little bastage manually to get it to come back up. Battery should sort these types of problems without Slim having to kill themselves trying to patch it up in device firmware. Same thing happened to me, but it happened when I pulled the plug while it was playing. When it came back up with the red wifi symbol, I thought, No! I don't want to set it all up again! Luckily, it came back up as normal when I power cycled it a second time. -- bubbasamdog bubbasamdog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34359 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71596 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
