[SlimDevices: Radio] SR and Linksys with WEP
Has anyone gotten the SqueezeBox Radio to work with a Linksys router, using WEP security? I'm using a LinkSys WRT110 wireless router, with 64-bit WEP. After I enter the password, the Radio tries to connect for a while, then fails. I've updated to the latest firmware, and I've tried setting the router's Authentication Type to both "Auto" and "Shared Key" (the latter was necessary to get my SqueezeBox 1 to work). If I use WPA instead, it works. I know that's more secure, but I'd like to continue using my SqueezeBox 1, which only supports WEP.

Perhaps the screen when an alarm fires should be the normal (or near to normal) clock screen (as chosen by the user) -- with a small menu option for snooze. Not being able to easily see the time when the alarm goes off, almost defeats one of the main points of having the alarm go off at a set time. Turn off alarm menu choice is NOT needed, since we all know the pause/stop button and the power off button. If snooze is needed, make it smaller and the TIME larger. There == I have spoken.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Tone Control missing on $200 Radio?
Mr. Joltdude, 1.) Thanks for sticking up for me, a lowly SB radio owner who was told to Logitech presales that the SB radio included tone controls (treble and bass) in the audio settings on the radio menu. 2.) I agreed with you entirely that the cognoscenti of this fine forum are total SB snobs that do not understand the commercial market. The breakthrough and potentially "ipod like - SB Jesus Radio" is missing simple radio tone controls that are present on EVERY decent radio sold in the last 30 years. 3.) All we need is an acknowledgment that yes treble and bass control is a significant missing feature and will be firmware added in the next xx months. 4.) After reading posts from Mr. Snarlydick, it appears that the general recommendations for a sincere SB questions is everything that is bitchin' and you should buy 3 of each for everything "you are trying to accomplish".

Depends on the room and what you're trying to accomplish. I don't think a nursery is going to be the ideal listening environment, so it's not like you need great separation and such. The Radio works great in kitchens, bedrooms, offices, etc...

Maybe... no announcement, though, and no sign of anything to replace it. Certainly 'some day' it will happen... but that would be several months or more away is my guess. Sort of like eventually there will be hard drives with 10TB on them some year.. but I wouldn't hold my breath, and delaying purchases because In The Future Technology Will Be Moreso would mean you'd never buy it... there is always something cooler in the future. Both the Boom and the Radio are nice toys. The radio is a bit sexier, but the boom has a bit better sound dispersion (the wonders of two speakers). Either is a fine choice, depending really on your personal tastes. I have both: Boom by the bed, Radio at work, and wouldn't trade either. Since radio's are heavily pushed by Amazon and others (they've been sneaking down to around $149 off and on), if you can get a deal on a radio, it's a damned hard price to beat. > > i will xpost on the boom forum as well. > many thanks.

The problem comes if you want to do anything else other than stop/snooze. Eg, Get song details to see who is performing on the song, look at weather forecast, check the news via Info Browser, etc. If you touch the knob, it stops the music. That may be unexpected, because you've forgotten that the music started via an alarm. I use an alarm for waking up in the morning. But I also use alarms elsewhere in the house, eg. so LBC News is playing in the kitchen, when I finally make it downstairs. i.e. to schedule music to start at a certain time; no need for snooze in this instance. It's a pity that the Radio doesn't have a dedicated Snooze button like the Boom. Very strange when you think that this is designed as an alarm clock. As a result, hacking functionality like that into navigation buttons and popup menus, etc, is always going to make things awkward. Not everyone is going to be happy with whatever the final outcome is, if alarms are not adequately supported through configuration. bluegaspode;502499 Wrote: > The problem with showing the 'Now Playing'-screen is, that it doesn't > show the current time big enough - so having the alarm popup with a > bigger time for me is more important than the 'Now playing'-screen. On my SB3 (bedroom - used as an alarm clock), I use the MusicInfoSCR plugin to configure the screen display to show Now Playing information AND the current time (which is adequately big enough). There is another plugin that can toggle the display to show date/time and then song info. The MusicInfoSCR plugin for SB3 also has a screensaver display setting whilst in Alarm mode. i.e. you could configure it to only show the time, and then when out of alarm mode, show NP. Radio/Touch doesn't have an alarm screensaver mode; it would help a lot if there were such a mode - there could be a screensaver mode to show an alarm menu (like it currently does), or show NP info, or show the time, or blank. -- Philip Meyer Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] It wakes you up but doesn't tell you what time it is?
For me, brightness is also a factor in this discussion. When the alarm wakes you up, it might be handy for the brightness to increase - regardless of whether the auto-dim is on or not. If the radio is in auto-dim mode, then it really is very dim, large letters barely visible unless you're with a foot or two. This is perfect in the middle of the night, but not so clever when you need to see smaller stuff such as the snooze menu. Perhaps my request is really that auto-dim should only apply when in the unit is in standby ? -- squishy squishy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35390 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73517 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Tone Control missing on $200 Radio?
He may be crossposting, but hes got a really good point. Emailing Logitech's (suggestions) is usually a waste of time, and the more I own the Radio, the more i want to return it... 1. The forums atitude is generally.. Well you should have bought the more expensive one if you wanted it to do what you wanted.. BZZT.. no. its a radio, it should be able to do some things out of the box 2. Theres a lot of audiophile snobbery on this forum. its an MP3/Flac radio. get over yourselves... 3. Id really like to see some responses from Logitech but they seem to only care about the Touch/Duet and higher end products.. If you don't want to make a low/mid end product that does the job, you should have NOT released the Radio.. Ever since Logitech took over for Slim Devices. the server software has just been more crippled and made even more incompatible with anything but a Squeezebox (reminds me of apple/itunes)... and it doesn't even do that well.. If anyone would like to puchase a Radio. mine is for sale.. 4. Did i mention the requirement for a bunch of third party plugins to do things I expect the server/hardware to do mostly out of the box? I shouldn't need hacks to do some really obvious tasks... the UI needs work and i shouldnt have to kludge it together myself. -- joltdude joltdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34779 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73369 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

There is no need for an extra "Continue Listening" because the music is playing anyway (well at least as long as the alarm is going, which I think is about an hour as the default ?) One more point why I'm against an extended 3-point-menu - not only I cannot read/navigate the Radio at alarm time because its dark and the display is too dim ...

And also I have sleep in the eyes ... in 7.4.1 I can do everything I need 'beeing blind' - in 7.4.2 thats not possible anymore. > > I have no desired to turn off music when I'm still in bed.

If 'my' alarm starts, I either turn it off quite fast (so that my wife can go on sleeping until the second alarm rings for her) or I select snooze on the very hard mornings ! So turning off the alarm (including audio) or selecting snooze are my basic usage patterns for an alarm clock. If one wants to listen to music, you neither select stop or snooze but just have it going - already possible today (but without seeing which music is playing). The problem with showing the 'Now Playing'-screen is, that it doesn't show the current time big enough - so having the alarm popup with a bigger time for me is more important than the 'Now playing'-screen. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] New 'alarm off' Feature/Change in 7.4.2 and 7.5
It's all too complex. There shouldn't be a popup dialog with options. The big knob shouldn't be multi-purpose. Leave it for navigation only, and not for snooze/alarm off/volume or any other non-navigation. I want music to come on when I schedule it, and show what is playing (and what the time is), and stay on until I choose to stop. That's how every alarm I've ever used works. I have no desired to turn off music when I'm still in bed. I want it to play (and see what is playing) until I get up and turn it off. That's why I raised the bug/enhancement request, to allow this type of behaviour to be configured for an alarm. i.e. if alarm timeout is set at 0, it should work as above. Unfortunately, it seems like the bug has been hijacked and made the system even worse. -- Philip Meyer Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Isn't this how it works now? Continue Listening - Don't press anything Snooze - Press Large Knob Off - Press Power I don't like the snooze message disappearing either as sometimes I wake up to music that have a very quiet and slow intro - which means that by the time it wakes me up I can't snooze. Though what i may do is simply have 2 alarms set up and use the second as it it were the snooze. -- miniwaites miniwaites's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11895 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I like the music to be turned off automatically after a timeout, for example 15 minutes. I like to be able to stop the music manually if I like to. The problem with the 7.4.1 alarm clocks is: - It doesn't show what's playing - It doesn't hide the alarm snooze window when the alarm is deactivated automatically after the alarm timeout Both these problems are solved in 7.4.2 with the 59 second auto hide snooze window feature. My alarm usage has actually changed a bit since I got the Radio. With my old alarm clock I used two different modes: - Beep mode: turn off the alarm as fast as I can then lay down and wake up for a minute and two and than get up - Radio mode: listen to music a while and then turn off the alarm and get up. With the Radio I instead us this mode: - Let the alarm play music and when the music stops after 15 minutes it's time to get up. The new behavior actually suit my needs as long as the music stops when the alarm is turned off with the timeout. I'm guessing it does stop the music after the timeout ? Personally, I'd still like off to mean off, I'd rather use the Home button to hide snooze window. When I manually want to turn off the alarm I like to do it with a button, I don't like the idea of having to turn the knob to just turn off the alarm. I wonder why off doesn't mean off anymore ? If it would turn off the sound, we could have a behavior like: - People that use snooze have to use it within 59 seconds - People that doesn't use snooze and want to turn of the alarm immediately can do it either with the knob or the off button - People (like myself) which like the music to play until the timeout ends, can just leave it playing and after 59 seconds it starts to show the Now Playing screen saver instead. The music would be turned off automatically after the timeout or manually by hitting off. bluegaspode;502395 Wrote: > > - could you handle three menu options in the morning ? > Yes but I suspect there are also people that can't -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
