Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SR and Linksys with WEP
What exactly is the point of using WEP? It's just as secure as using no encryption nowadays and having an unencrypted network is so much easier. No need to tediously input the password with the scrolly-wheel-thingy. There are tools out there that can hack into any WEP network within 10 minutes and require no prior knowledge of the user. All it takes is typing "hack WEP" into Google. My philosophy is either run WPA2-AES (if I need the security and all my devices support it) or run unecrypted (if I don't care). Everything else (especially WEP!) gives a false sense of security. -- stridger stridger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34460 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73547 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Pausing/Rewind Listen again/Podcasts
What format are you playing ? With any of the Flash stuff I find I must wait a few secs into playing the stream before FFW works because the duration info has not been received processed even though the stream starts playing. Also I think, if you stop and then press play for a Flash/AAC stream the duration info is lost (it is provided in an earlier exchange with BBC) and so FFW/REW doesn't work.

Makes sense. I think if you watch the log you will see in this case a playerModeChange or playerLoaded or playerCurrent or similar notification coming from SqueezeOS that is causing the audio subsystem to be prematurely transitioned to actually play out audio prior to when the volume is adjusted just above 0. Then again, you'll only see the notification occur if an applet or SqueezeOS is logging it.

I've probably just been sleepy when a alarm has fired earlier thinking that there was some audio left in some buffer. Anyway, this is what happens: 1. I have the alarms configured to ramp up the volume with the "Fade Alarms In" setting. 2. I've paused the player, not stopped it. 3. When the alarm is fired it correctly selects the chosen playlist 4.

It feels like step 4 and 5 should happen in the opposite order so the volume is lowered before the stream actually starts to play. If the player is stopped (not just paused) before the alarm sequence it works correctly.

I'll do some experimentation to see if I'm able to reproduce it. I know I've also sometimes had clock synchronization problems on the server (running in a virtual machine), so that might also cause problems. It should also be said that I'm only using locally stored music, no internet radio.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Music before Alarm
I think Erland's and Stefan's comments are both probably important (Peter's as well, in pointing out to distinct issues in terms of the fallback alarm versus some earlier stream playing for a bit). I'd suggest doing a small bit of testing with the following in mind: You're playing stream 1 at some point in time and then think you've stopped it. It could be that when you think you've 'stopped' it that you really haven't, since hitting the pause button actually 'pauses' the stream. If the stream is then sitting there paused for hours prior to the alarm going off then there will be no surprise if you hear it again briefly when the 'server' alarm goes off (and maybe even if a fallback alarm fires, since it could be that encoded audio from the earlier stream has already made it to the Radio cache before you paused it OR that decoded audio - PCM samples - are themselves still waiting in the Radio cache from earlier). The reason you may hear the earlier stream briefly is due to how the notification system works. If a playerModeChange notification is delivered to some listening applet (or perhaps even just SqueezeOS directly determines the transition has occurred) which then decides that means to turn the local audio playout back on then voila... you are left with the previously played stream audio which was previously in paused state. playerModeChange notifications (along with several other similar type notifications) DO occur during the alarm process... So, see if a previously stopped (not paused) stream, as Stefan mentioned, manifests the issue when a later alarm is fired then retest with the played stream being paused (not stopped) prior to the later alarm firing... I would not be at all surprised if you hear just the alarm audio after the prior stream was stopped, but the brief earlier stream first if it was paused... Of course, if the earlier stream continues to be briefly heard prior to the requested alarm audio even after the earlier stream was explicitly stopped (not paused) then the problem is likely that either the cache/prefetch audio buffer at the server or the Radio is not being properly flushed after a stop operation. Either way, any existing audio (whether earlier paused or stopped) should, in my view, be flushed out of the playout pipeline when an alarm fires... Not so easy to do in the current context of how alarms work though...

I'd swear the "+" or knob push offered Add to Favorites on Radio while playing a selection at some point. Must have been removed (or I'm seeing things. again). You can add a selection to Favorites with "+" or knob push & hold from the menu's (before selecting to Play item). -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73741 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Music before Alarm
Many thanks to Bluegaspode for his comments: "You hear the 'fallback' alarm which means your server is not ready yet to send the alarm-signal and play the proper stream. This fallback alarm currently doesn't fade in." The fallback alarm, very loud, very repetitive, is nothing I recognise - I assume it is an item from the inbuilt sounds library. Might I at least change it for another more gentle sound? Since this sound is not on any playlist, and is played at max volume, I think the problem noted by Miniwaites and myself is different from that described by Erland, who commented: >I've suspected it starts to play the current playlist with the last >used volume when the device is turned on before the alarm handling >kicks in and changes the playlist and lowers the volume. ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

However, I haven't investigated it in detail.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB Radio extremely Bassy
Get a boom instead it has tone controls and is not boomy (despite its name ) in my setup. And twice the speakers and some nifty dsp, but not the color lcd screen. I think this is very influenced by placement, corners shelfs etc do contribute to the sound, Hence the need for tone controlls ? Now I filed an request it took all of 2 minutes of my life ;) https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15436 So go and vote for it ! now ! I've seen a lot of forum noise about tone controlls in the last 2 months but nobodys had the energy to actually ask for them ? the way to do that is trough bugzilla is it really that hard ? -- Mnyb Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73747 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
