Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] more button and dimming display
One question regarding dimming. Can you dimm down so that the room stays dark. I don't want a bedside lamp which plays music. I rather like to get a radio, at which you can dimm dark. -- rolf_the_wolf 1 x controller, 2 x receiver, WiFi 811.n Zyxel, HTS 8140 Ambisound, Logitech Z3, Eee Box B1006 mit XP rolf_the_wolf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24184 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73229 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now it stopped working altogether (German data center of MYSB is done for?)
Hi, since the server in Frankfurt is still offline (+48 hours!), i just also forced my Squeezebox Radio to use the server with the ip 66.151.159.227 and it works. Well that's good for people who know how to do this, but i think everyone else will return they Squeezboxes as soon as possible. Even i wanted to give it back today (bought mine on 24.12.2009). On amazon.de the squeezebox radio is getting more an more bad comments. I still can't understand the politics of logitech. Whoever is responsible for this problem, should get fired!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] more button and dimming display
Everybody is different, but the radio goes dim enough for me in a totally dark room (which is dim enough to just see the time).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now it stopped working altogether (German data center of MYSB is done for?)
The Frankfurt datacenter appears to have been okay for me in the UK last night and this morning. Switching a European SBR to point at the USA could be considered a "fix" for those that know how to do it but I think the real value in doing this is that it demonstrates that there are issues with the European data center rather than individual SBRs. I hope anyone else who successfully performs the switch during an outage will also post to this thread.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Losing presets after network reconnect
My SqueezeboxRadio once in a while "forgets" its wireless connection. I have several computers, a PS3, and a Wii that does not exhibit this behaviour. So I'm pretty sure its a bug in the SqueezeboxRadio. But the worst part is that when I reconnect to the network, the 6 preset buttons also loose their settings. They are typically assigned my 6 favourite internet radio stations, and I need to assign them all over. It is frustrating to reconnect the wireless network, but not that hard. But I cannot comprehend why the settings of the 6 presets are affected as well? -- larsa larsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35503 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73411 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

A word of warning - I've no idea what the risks of tampering with this might be so you do it at your own risk. 1. Get the IP Address of your SBR Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics > IP Address 2. Enable Remote login Settings > Advanced > Remote Login > Enable SSH 3. Login Using an SSH cleint of your choice (e.g. Putty) logon to your SBR using the IP Address obtained in 1. and these credentials - username - root password - 1234 4. Change the default root password from the command line type passwd and follow the prompts to change 1234 to something more secure. Don't forget this new password or its a "Restore Factory Settings" 5a. Make a backup of your hosts file cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.old 5b. Edit the hosts file to include a static DNS entry for the USA data center If you haven't used vi before do some www research to get a feel for it first. vi /etc/hosts i add the line: 66.151.159.227 baby.squeezenetwork.com esc :wq! 6. Reboot and check your SBR now points to the Sunnyvale CA data center Settings > Advanced > Squeezebox Information > mysqueezebox.com Information That's it. 5b. is probably the trickest step but some googling for vi user guides should help.

Do this at your own risk. If anything is not working do a factory reset (pressing '+' while booting). On Windows do the following: - Download and install WinSCP (http://winscp.net) - On your Controller/Radio go to Settings->Advanced->Remote Login , enable it and write down the IP adress given there - Start WinSCP, enter the IP adress under 'Host Name', as username take 'root', as password take '1234', as file protocoll take 'SCP', press 'login'. You will get some messages, also one error message (just click it away), when everything work you will be connected to your radio/controller. - On the right side of the window you see the files on your radio/controller. You will be in /root so go one level up and navigate to /etc and double-click the 'hosts'-file. - add some lines so that it looks like the following for a US server.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] New to squeezbox - want to use it for alarm w/sirius
lindsayanng, You can do either, connect the Radio to the SBS server program on your computer or connect the Radio to the free MySB online server. Both will get you Sirius. The flexibility of the SB products is incredible, offering many different user configuration scenarios, so this is likely where some of the confusion comes in. Some want to run their SB players via their local SBS server on their computer which offers everything the online MySB offers, plus many advantages like access to their own local music and much more customization options on both the SBS server and the players. While others prefer to only connect their players online to MySB, no computer or local server program needed. But this will give them no access to their local music and is lacking in customization options. And others actually prefer to use both, switching back and forth between the two at different times. I'd suggest trying both, see what suits you best. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73246 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Please HELP! Got SB Radio & AirPort Express..now what?
Hello again, I got a Linksys WRT54G2 router yesterday at Best Buy. On sale, ( $44.99). I popped in the CD that came with it and hooked up the hardware. Cool. I thought I was done. NO WAY!! After googling the router and mac setup and checking Linksys' pages I found out that I need to " MANUALLY " configure the TCP/IP settings. The paragraph reads: " The installation CD that came with the router is only designed to work in a Windows-based computer. This is the reason why manual configuration of the TCP/IP settings of your Mac is needed. Before setting up the router, connect the modem to the router's Internet port and the computer to any of the four Ethernet ports. After connecting the devices, configure the TCP/IP Settings in the Mac computer. For instructions, follow the steps below." Then they list the steps. Sounds good, right? Nope. When I follow the steps they provide I'm unable to continue past step 2 or 3 ( I forgot which ) of ALOT of steps because what they want me to change is " grayed out " and I can't click it. I found a site on Google. It's from Mac people who have had similar problems and some found a solution, some didn't, and one got so frustrated that he went and bought the $179.00 Mac Airport Extreme router. Heck, I even got to that point after messing with this thing for over 4 hours. But even THAT wouldn't work with my " ancient eMac " 'cause I read the specifications of the Airport Extreme and it says that I need to be running Mac OS X 5. I think that's Leopard or Snow Leopard. I'm running Tiger ( Mac OS X 10.4.11 ). So here it is, another day. I'm not gonna give up because I REALLY want to use the Squeezebox radio, especially since I found out from the BB guy that the Battery Pack/ Remote Control package will be coming out in February for the cost of around $50.00. I'll list the site I found on Google re: Macs & Linksys. If one of you guys who know what all of this means can give me a clue as to what to do, I'd appreciate it immensely. There are so many different " fixes " listed, ( I tried some of them to no avail ) that I am totally confused. Now it's a matter of this problem ( situation, really ) getting the best of me. And I'm going down fighting. It's a matter of pride now for sure. I WILL get this thing up & running today and be listening to German radio with my wife, my dog, and a nice cup of herbal tea by this evening. ( I hope ;) ). Or I'll be at Best Buy purchasing a new iMac! ( yeah, I wish ;) ). There's an obstacle to this scenario called Pat. ( My wife ;) ) Anyway, here's the link to the folks who have this same problem. If you'd care to help and simplify all of this for me I'd GREATLY appreciate it. One last thing. If there is definitely NO solution for me to use the SB radio wirelessly, is there a way that I could just use, say, a 25' ethernet cable and run it under my floor into the crawl space below the house and exit the other end in my living room ( the eMac is in the den ) and connect it to the radio?

First, it sounds like the setup CD is not necessary in your case. In fact I don't think the setup CD is necessary with any linksys router. The router has a built in web server that allows you to access all of the setup screens. It also has a built in DHCP server so that your emac and squeezebox can get IP addresses and talk to each other. If you plug your emac into one of the ethernet ports on the router, it should get an IP address and be able to connect. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.6.1, and your eMac should get an IP address of 192.168.1.x. Once that happens you should be able to browse to the router setup screens by typing in http://192.168.6.1 in the address window of your browser. If that doesn't happen, it usually means that the eMac doesn't have the correct IP address. As for plugging an ethernet cable into the Squeezebox Radio, that is certainly a viable option, and may actually give you a more stable connection than you will get using wireless. However, unless your DSL modem has more than one ethernet port (most don't), you will still need a router. I'm sending you a private message as well, so please check that. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46

I'm in Carlsbad, CA and local internet radio returns my location as Vista, CA which is close enough. All of the AM stations listed are indeed local, with quite a few LA stations thrown in.

[SlimDevices: Radio] New Dimming Question (Manual) -- power saving dim?
Is there anyway to stop the player from dimming slightly after a few seconds. In other words, you are playing music and the now playing screen is showing the song title/artist, and then after a bit it dims a little. Why? There is no battery to save if its plugged in (it does this for power reasons on the duet controller, but I see no reason for that on the radio). Can the same brightness be kept all the time? I DO have it in manual mode for dimming (not auto). Also, this messes up manual dim settings for the clock screensaver. Unless I put the radio in "standby" by pressing the power off button, the same slight dim occurs when music is stopped or paused. I would like the same brightness/dim level for the clock whether in standby or paused/stopped. So can this "power saving" dimming feature be turned off (I don't see it in the menus anywhere). -- eap eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73433 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Both psprout's and bluegaspode's guides look good. I agree that psprout that vi is easily the most error prone step for novices. I like being able to automate this as much as possible to reduce complexity so here's my modification of psprout's process to eliminate vi and make it easy to switch back and forth. I've borrowed extensively from his steps that remained the same. INITIAL SETUP 1. Get the IP Address of your SBR using the Radio's menus: Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics > IP Address 2. Enable Remote login using the Radio's menus: Settings > Advanced > Remote Login > Enable SSH 3. Login Using an SSH client of your choice (e.g. Putty on Windows) logon to your SBR using the IP Address obtained in 1. and these credentials - username - root password - 1234 4. Change the default root password (OPTIONAL) Use the command below and follow the prompts to change 1234 to something more secure.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio random power-cycle
The Boom is altogether a more mature product (the guts of it are about 5 years old). The Radio clearly has "teething troubles. It's still a lovely device though. Give it a couple of firmware revs. My Radio has not done what you describe, but it's certainly acted odd. A couple of mornings ago it got stuck in the menu after being taken out of standby.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Local Internet Radio only includes AM stations
It should give all local radio (AM & FM) that is available for streaming via the RadioTime database, dunno why yours does not do this. SBS and MySB use a "geo-IP" best guesstimate on where you are located and what is local. This is often very general and not very specific. Often this is a fault of your ISP not using very geo-specific IP's for it's users. The more specific the geo-IP used, the more specific SBS and MySB can be. When the geo-IP is more general, covering an entire region, the more guesswork must be done by SBS and MySB. To get much more specific (and accurate) you can create a free www.RadioTime.com account (enter your zip), then install and configure the RadioTime App within your www.MySqueezeBox.com online account. Although RadioTime provides the streams and database for both the generic "geo-IP" guesstimate as well as the more specific (down to your zip code) RadioTime linked account within MySB, the resulting local stations can vary greatly. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73398 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Losing presets after network reconnect
Larsa, this is a common problem... but search the forums a bit and you will see several possible causes. check this thread: "Radio problems connecting to network/server" Also, check the color of the wireless icon when you find the presets lost. It may be that the wireless is actually up but the radio isn't connecting to the mysqueezebox.com server. Red = not connected to network Blue = connected to network but NOT connected to server (SBS or MySB) White = connected to network and server (SBS or MySB) The presets are stored at the mysqueezebox.com server, NOT on your radio. So when it can't find the server your presets are not available. Stupid, yes we all know. Additionally, re-programming your resets is a waste of time, if it's just a reaching the server problem. When it happens, trying cycling the power on your radio (hold the power button a couple seconds to turn it all the way off). And watch the color of the wifi icon as above.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Cannot see SB Radio in mysqueezebox.com
Just got the SB Radio after Christmas and I have to admit that I love and hate it already... The usability is - let's say - flawed; and there are several "real" issues, too. But when it works, i love it :) My main issue (SB Server not working on my main PC) is under investigation with Logitech support, so I won't bore you with that one. Anyway, here one of my lesser problems: The SB radio can play Internet Radio and My Music from my secondary PC (laptop), so everything seems to be fine. However, when I look for a "Player" on mysqueezebox.com, it tells me that my player is not registered. Both, SB Radio and laptop are connected to mysqueezebox.com using the same username and password... So why won't the stupid site find my SB Radio ?

[SlimDevices: Radio] Loud, random brief bursts of sound???
For the last couple of days, my radio has taken to emitting a loud 'flash' of sound, for lack of a better description, at seemingly random moments. Yesterday, it occurred 3-4 times, each about 20 minutes or so apart, in late afternoon. The radio is used as an alarm, set for 7:00am each day. The alarm plays an internet radio stream, which is one of my presets. That part has been working better for the last week or so than it did initially. We seem to be having far fewer instances of losing the MySB server. The only time it is played is at bedtime, when it is set to go to sleep in 30 minutes, then alarm in the morning. The rest of the day it is in standby. We've not been able to catch it before it happens, but it doesn't appear that anything is occurring on the display -- just date and time as normal. Is my radio possessed, or has someone else witnessed a similar phenomenon?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Please HELP! Got SB Radio & AirPort Express..now what?
Having set up a new Linksys wireless router on my Mac system just yesterday I can confirm that no setup CD is necessary. All you need to do is to plug the router into your mac using one of the numbered ethernet ports, and put your internet connection into the one labelled Internet. Then go to Safari and type http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar and you should get the control panel for the linksys come right up. From there you can configure lots of things but most stuff is fine with the defaults. What I do suggest you change is the router name - which is probably Linksys as default, and is a magnet for those nearby looking for free wifi - and the security - I recommend WPA Personal with a good strength password. If you can't get to the control panel page then you could try pressing and holding the Reset button on the router for 5 seconds which should reset to the defaults and then let you in. davep -- davep davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73258 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Please HELP! Got SB Radio & AirPort Express..now what?
Dave, I must obviously be connecting the router/modem/computer incorrectly. Please humor me... From my telephone jack comes a wire which is plugged into the modem that I got from Verizon. The wire goes into the "telephone style" port labeled DSL. Just next to it is a yellow port labeled " Data ". >From that port exits a yellow wire marked " ethernet " and it goes up to the " ethernet " port of my eMac. To the side of that port is the hole for the power supply which is plugged into a power strip. The internet works fine. That's how it was before I got the Linksys Router. I'm confused on the router part. If I plug the blue wire supplied by Linksys into one of the four blue ports in the router and connect it to the ethernet port in my eMac, then where does the wire from the yellow " internet " port on the Router go? I did put it into the yellow data port of the Verizon modem but then I have no internet. And it's gotta go somewhere. ( yes, I did plug the power supply cord from the router into my power strip ) I know there's gotta be a simple answer for this but my brain is fried! What am I doing wrong?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Please HELP! Got SB Radio & AirPort Express..now what?
Basic connection for DSL: You'll have a wire from the phoneco that goes to the dsl modem. This carries DSL data.. the modem 'modulates and demodulates' (hence the name) and then sends it to/from the ethernet port on the modem. Now, in a simple one-device home, you could plug that into your Mac, as you have done. But you have two devices now... So you take the ethernet cable from the modem and plug it into the router on the port labelled 'WAN' or 'Internet' or otherwise different from the other ports. Then you plug the Mac into one of the 'other' ports (usually 4 of them) on the route. You could plug a Radio or even things like network aware printers, other machines, whatever ethernet devices you have into one of the other 4 ports... or connect them wirelessly. The router is basically a 'connection sharing' device. It sits directly on the internet and routes (hence the name) from your local network to and from the internet. If it's a wireless router, it will also route from your wireless network to and from the wired network and to/from the internet as needed. It's like a hub but smarter. The only real trick is telling the difference between the ports on the router, they're not all the same. The 'unique' one (WAN, or Internet or however they label it) goes to your DSL or Cable modem.. the others go to clients. It should be pretty much plug it in and it works, except for setting a password and name for your wireless network. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73258 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
