Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm clock issues...new ones!
radio + server are always synced to the same time. Unfortunately not the same timezone. The alarm times are relative to the servers timezone. See this bug report https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14888 Unfortunately it is scheduled to a 'Future' release, which currently translates to 'Never'. I'd be interested if you try to ask your question at the logitech support. And if they know such a problem spot on or try wild stuff with you :) To have more fun, just start with 'My alarm doesn't fire at all', not mentioned that its 'just' late. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

I was using a radiotime URL for my local radio station on mysqueezebox.com and it would take a long time to start playing and the backup alarm would kick in instead. I changed my URL for my alarm to the actual mp3 stream and went to bed. Sadly, I woke up with the stupid backup alarm again. I double checked and the stream was able to play just fine. I don't remember having any of these issues in 7.3. Was the timeout for the backup alarm significantly reduced? Is there a way to change it?

It has long been discussed, don't know where it stands right now. But there are built in easy manual switching options. If connected to SBS and PC turned off: - select Internet Radio or My Apps from home menu, "connect to MySB.com" is offered - add a "connect to MySB.com" item to your Home Menu (Settings > Home Menu) If connected to MySB.com: - select My Music and "connect to SBS" will be offered IMO I believe the *other* server should always be offered when Radio disconnects from either SBS or MySB. Currently, Radio looks for SBS if you stop SBS or turn off your computer. The next screen (after it cannot find SBS) offers: Try Again, Go Home, or Choose Player. Seems only logical to also offer "connect to MySB.com" as an option. Vice versa when Radio loses connection to MySB.com, offering SBS to switch too. This way, regardless of where Radio was last connected, both SBS and MySB.com are offered as selections after it tries to connect to it's last connected server. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72722 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Is the SB Radio headphone Jack stereo, etc?
Yes, the headphone output is stereo. You just need a Y-adapter, with a standard mini-plug (I think it's 3.5mm) at one end and the two RCA plugs at the other. You can find them at lots of electronics or music stores. If you're in the US then Radio Shack is a good place to look. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72725 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio not showing album art
The problem persisted even after rebooting as recommended as well as unplugging and restoring power to the radio. I decided to just restore the factory settings and that seems to have done the trick. After reconnecting to my wireless network, it recognized that the radio was already registered under my mysqueezbox.com account. Once connected, it at least preserved some of my settings like the name and synchronization so that was relatively painless. Other settings like wallpapers and such were lost. -- daddyofx daddyofx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35019 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72707 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I can confirm that this is still the case with my final production retail purchased unit. The radio, unlike my other SB devices, sets the clock at boot time and from that point onward it will use its own low quality internal clock to keep time. I have seen mine drift as much as three minutes in a week which is wholly unacceptable. The desired behavior would be that at intervals (probably 24 hours or less) the radio goes back to the server (either local or internet) and resets its clock so that it is always in synch. I cringe to think what would happen if I let a couple of months plugged in without rebooting the radio, as the time would likely be off by 10 minutes or more, which is wholly unacceptable for a device I use to get me up in the morning. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72712 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Not rocket science -- OpenWRT does it in less-powerful WRT54G wireless routers, as did the original software. Even my Netopia 2210 DSL modem knows how to keep its own clock sync-ed to NTP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Change Network Settings
The only way I found to do this was to reset to factory defaults, then you can enter the new password. Luckily mysqueezebox.com remembers the radio so you don't have to re-enter the mysqueezebox.com password. Factory reset is accomplished by unplugging the radio then holding down the '+' button while plugging it in again. If anyone else knows how to change the password without going through this, I'd be interested also. -- BigPotato BigPotato's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72743 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
