Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Reboot when Power-Off

2010-02-02 Thread Loom

It was just for a quick test. But with MySB it *always* stayed
powered-down.

But when connected to MySB, the problem can be reproduced every time.
It simply won't stay powered down on first try, no matter what I've
done before, if playing music, or beeing in stand-by.

The behavior is exactly like this:

MySBS: Power-Down - Reboot - Power Down - Stays finally off

Many thanks - got the scrobbling wokring perfectly now from my music

a friends station etc)

I notice that listening to internet radio stations though doesn't seem

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Dimming Dilemma

2010-02-02 Thread fcm4711

Hi Loom

It's the other way round - although the effect is the same. Brightness
is reduced after a bit of inactivity to increase the lifetime of the
backlight. However this is only necessary at the upper end of the
brightness scale.

7.4.x did it over the complete brightness range although it wasn't
necessary in the lower end. In fact it was kind of annoying that you
could define a minimum brightness which then would go darker after a
moment of inactivity.

Therefore 7.5.x changes the behavior to only dim in the upper half of
the brightness scale, but not below.

Felix

Almost identical: they both run SqueezePlay, though there are some UI
differences and physical differences (the dial on the Radio turns a lot
more easily than the dial on the SBC, which isn't surprising considering
the hardware differences).

On both, Erland's Custom Browse can be used to make browsing huge
libraries easier by grouping artists by first initial.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now it stopped working altogether (German data center of MYSB is done for?)

2010-02-02 Thread 0xdeadbeef

I kinda gave up reporting each time the radio shows the blue icon and
needs a reboot to find MYSB again. Hard to tell if this is only caused
by the totally buggy radio software or if the server still has issues.
Probably both. I'm SO tired of this and the other issues.

I beginning to wonder if this brand will survive this disaster for
another few months. The classic SB is canceled, the release date for the
Touch is completely uncertain and with it the release of a new software
is delayed again and again. Anyway, the Radio is still exactly as buggy
as in October 2009 when I bought it. If somebody told me at this time
that I would have to mess with the same alpha software in February, for
sure I would have considered other options.

Now really, if the Touch shifts into April or even summer, they should
at least release a 7.4.2 software to fix the worst Radio bugs ASAP.
There are so many internet radios on the market in the meantime and
while they might suck in other aspects, at least the basic functionality
is working.

I do not use the SBR for streaming music from my computer, just

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Do I need Squeezebox server?

2010-02-02 Thread garym

short answer is no. You're just fine using mysqueezebox.com. If you want
to play your own music, our use many of the 3rd party plugins, you'll
need the SbS. But for straightforward internet radio, podcasts, pandora,
etc., you don't need the server running. Even if you install the server,
you can switch back and forth to mysb.com if you want. You're not locked
in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Do I need Squeezebox server?

2010-02-02 Thread BigPotato

If you run a SBS you can make use of the wonderful BBC iPlayer plug-in. 
My understanding is that it can do a lot more than the BBC app on MySB. 
Particularly it has Listen Again support, so you aren't stuck only
listening to live broadcasts.  For me this is essential functionality. 
I also make use of the KidsPlay plug-in in order to convert one of the
hard preset buttons into a sleep button.  Again, this is high-order bit
functionality for me.

Of course I would use SBS regardless just because I have a local music
library as well as some older non-MySB players.  However, that wasn't
your question.

Nope.  It ONLY fires at what appears to be one minute early (in my
experience), when the time displayed has drifted by a certain amount. 
Otherwise it fires at the time it is set for.

And I use Sirius satellite radio as my wakeup sound -- not any local

With SBS you can have better sync with multiple players and save some
internet badwith if you play the same channel on multiple squeezeboxes,
as sbs can proxy the stream and send it to all players.
If you are conected directly to MySB every player has it own streams
from the Internet (instead of locally).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Dimming Dilemma

2010-02-02 Thread Loom

Thanks for the explanation!

However, I like it dark at night. I turned he minimum brightness down
so the clock is just barely visible. Unfortunately, when navigating the
menus in the dark, it's almost impossible to read them.

And when I turn the brightness up to read the menus, the clock is too
bright for me to sleep.

So, an elegant option for 7.5.0 would be to turn the brightness up for
an additional 30% when operating the unit. And if not, falling back for
the minimum brightness after a certain amout of time.
