This happens at least once a day and doesn't seem to be related to the
feed. However, I'll post as they happen.

Sorry for not coming back to you.
It's not actually, I did look in the folder and there are no files just
the folders.
As I mentioned it really doesn't matter that much as it's not affecting
the rest of the album art.

Thanks though

Try those same stations after changing the following setting in your
SBS web UI:
Settings  Advanced  File Types  Windows Media  Windows Media 
*disabled*

This will force SBS to transcode WMA to a format the Radio can better
handle.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable

2009-11-26 Thread braskelu

Hi

I'm having the same issue. I bought the Radio 10 days ago and the alarm
worked only 1 time (not on time but with a 15 minutes delay). In all
other cases it shows me the time and the little clock symbol but nothing
happens - the radio stays off. Furthermore, I need to enter the alarm
time every day since the radio just deletes the stored alarm time. It
doesn't matter what I choose as a alarm tone (usally a radio station).
It just doesn't work. 

B.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] 2 questions about album art

2009-11-26 Thread MrSinatra

it might be in the folder the my music folder itself is in...?

obviously, you don't have to keep trying, but it would drive me crazy. 
i like to get to the bottom of things like that, b/c there def is a
reason and its the kind of thing we're likely to run into again.

but i also agree it really doesn't matter, esp if its not in SBS and
only in XP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable

2009-11-26 Thread 0xdeadbeef

Maybe there are different issues due to different data centers. Probably
the software developers only test with the only correctly
configured/working data center and thus are not able to reproduce what
happens to their customer every day: a completely unreliable alarm
feature.

Then again, any kind of design review should also have shown that there
is something totally wrong with the handling of the MYSB connection. It
is not verified, not automatically restored and the only reaction is a
beep when you want to use a function that would need the MYSB
connection.

PLEASE, could someone at Logitech finally start to look at this? If the
unreadable time isn't a showstopper already for the use as bedside
radio, the complete lack of a reliable alarm functionality is for sure.

The whole concept of an alarm function - whose ONLY Critical Success
Factor is that it goes off at the correct time every day - that relies
on the Internet in any way is just plain stupid.

The default setup should be that the alarm plays an internal sound from
firmware. If people want to get adventurous then caveat tweaker...

[SlimDevices: Radio] Wireless probs

2009-11-26 Thread serbans

Hi all !

I am suffering from the following two wireless bugs/issues:

- hidden SSID = no connection at all. tried it with three different
APs, same result.

- whatever channel I use (1-12), at about 1.5 meters from the AP (with
broadcast SSID), the signal strength is between 25 and 35%. My iPhone
can connect to the wireless network one floor below, with the SBRadio
cannot connect from the other end of the room.

SBR is 7.4.1-r7915APs tried are Apple, AVM(fritz) and netgear.

Any hints, clues, etc ? Is it normal for the SBR to have such a weak
signal so close to the AP ?

Thanks,
Serban

The -internet- connection is not the issue here. And with a properly
implemented fallback to an internal emergency sound (which is exited
already, yet too short) the concept itself is flawless.
The detail design however is awry and the implementation is buggy.
It's a complete mystery to me why the responsibles obviously try to
rush a 2nd flawed device for the Christmas reason instead of using all
resources to fix the Radio first.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable

2009-11-26 Thread Tony T

So far, after a week, other than the lack of a back-up alarm (for power
/ internet outages), I'm really enjoying this Radio.  I find the menu
layout well thought out and intuitive and the hardware itself is a
beauty in design (... I would compare it very favorably to an Apple
product).  For a mono set-up, the sound is excellent (I would compare it
to the Tivoli Model One) .  The ability to cross-reference songs and
albums between Pandora, Last.fm. Rhapsody, etc is a nice plus. 
(Sometimes, its hard just to sit back and listen!)  And I also like the
ability to control and set-up the product from my computer on
mysqueezebox.com.  And all this for only $150. 

now, just put a back-up alarm in the next software update and it
will be perfect.

Tony

 Agreed, and this should be very easy to implement in a software update. 
 All that is needed is for a simple default buzz to be saved to the
 firmware, then when the alarm goes off, first test if the internet
 connection is up, and if not, BUZZZ...

And again: this thread is NOT about an unreliable alarm -without-
internet connection. It's about an unreliable alarm -despite of- a
perfectly valid internet connection.

Thanks.  Then is a bug, not a feature request. 

Is there a way to assign alarm.mp3 as an Alarm Sound? to test the
mp3?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wireless probs

2009-11-26 Thread jrichardson

Well, I would suggest trying 7.5 BETA firmware.. The only way to get
that right now is to install 7.5 BETA onto a system, hard wire your Boom
to the router, and attach it to that server.

Once you get the 7.5 firmware on the boom, Factory Reset it and try
wireless again.  If you still have the same VERY short range, then it's
a hardware issue.

Contact support or return it to your retailer for a replacement.
