Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm clock issues...new ones!
Snarlythanks for the reply. I connect to SBS on my Netgear ReadyNAS Duo server, though when I first set the radio up, I was NOT using it, I connected to MySqueezebox.com. About two weeks after I set the radio up, it had connection issues, and told me I needed to upgrade the SBS software on my ReadyNAS...I didn't even think the SqueezeServer was turned on. Once I got the software updated, everything seemed fine, until about four days ago, when the 3 hour thing started. Huhmaybe it all started at the same time. I looked at the timezone on MySqueezebox.com and it was right...but I just looked at my ReadyNAS and IT WAS WRONG! So the time is coming from the server, not the radio??? Wow...interesting.

Funny thing is that you could even remote control your Radio from MySqueezeBox.com, just the Radio said it couldn't connect. All this suggests that the "problems because of too much success"-story is marketing nonsense. Most probably the server crashed and they used a backup with a pre-SqueezeOs setup. Whatever they "solved" there (apart from restoring the configuration for SqueezeOS devices two days later), it didn't fix the daily Radio freezing due to the MYSB semi-connection-loss problems. bluegaspode;496258 Wrote: > Furthermore there still is rumour, that when your provider changes your > internet IPs overnight, MySB.com connections get lost. This is more than a rumor. If the Router reconnects at night, there is a 90% chance that the Radio will misbehave afterwards. It is obviously not the changed IP, but the reconnect process, which can take 2 minutes or so. Afterwards both sides -think- they are still connected, but the Radio behaves erratically and needs help to get back in a normal function state. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72393 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I think that the SlimServer software is supposed to be device independent so adding preset control to the software may not make sense.

However, what I really want is to assign preset buttons to map playlists or folders. -- chuenl chuenl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3182 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72381 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

The alarm doesn't work reliable if the server it is connected to isn't reliable. The radio can either be connected to your own server (a) or MySB.com (b). (a) should be the most reliable (if you don't start things like powering down the server to save energy). Indeed I'm running my own server and wake up to an internet radio station. As tcutting wrote it might be still unreliable to use an 'effect' sound as it comes from MySB.com. (b) currently isn't reliable. In europe their servers didn't scale with the units sold.

As there are several Applets to choose from, when you select Install or Remove within that Applet you are essentially telling the Radio to *add* this to your Install/Remove function. So there is one extra step to do so on the main Applet screen. For operating with a single Applet it's an extra step. But if, for example, one has three Applets running on the Radio this prevents the need to Install & Reboot three times. All chosen Applets are Installed or Removed in one step. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72669 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
