wav is definitely better with the battery ;) it's must be slower

flac is of-course the preferred format on a red Radio ;)

How can I use my expensive 5000$ power cord when on battery ? should I
wrap it around the Radio or my head ?

[SlimDevices: Radio] No clock displayed during standby - FW 7.5.0

2010-03-22 Thread doubleugk

Since yesterday the analogue clock screensaver during standby
disappeared, after I unplugged my SBR and plugged it in again. I checked
the screensaver settings, but they seemed to be ok. Any other
screensaver did not change anything. Even a factory reset didn't help.
The only thing that worked, was a downgrade to FW 7.4.2. I have 2nd SBR
running on FW 7.5.0 and that is still working fine. Bug?

[SlimDevices: Radio] Problems playing radio streams from di.fm and sky.fm

2010-03-22 Thread MikeDelta

I have 2 Squeezebox classics that have been playing flawlessly since the
day they came out of the box almost 3 years ago.

About a week ago I bought a Squeezebox Radio. Unfortunately this radio
has an  annoying quirck and I'm not sure how to solve it (assuming it's
something I can solve myself).

When playing radio streams from di.fm (or sky.fm) the radio usually
plays for about 10 minutes, then the music stops (the radio still
indicates the play icon) and after 10 to 15 seconds the wireless symbol
turns to blue (a problem communicating with squeezebox server).

At this point there is no more communication between the radio and the
outside world (like the wireless has been switched off). The only thing
I can do to recover is switch the radio off and then back on again.
Sometimes that even means pulling the plug on the back of the radio.

There is no difference when playing through my own server or via
mysqueezebox.com.

There is also no difference playing the mp3 stream or the aac stream.

First I thought the radio might be defective so I've had the store
replace the unit but that didn't help.

So, I'm wondering: Why am I able to play all the music from my own
server, play several radio streams without any problems except for radio
streams from that one source?

Does someone else experience the same problem with a radio playing the
di.fm trance stream? Can you play the stream for more than 2 or 3 hours
without your radio crashing?

I have 2 wireless accesspoints (a belkin and a Fritzbox) and the
problem occures on both accesspoints. The wireless signal is good,
usually well above 80% and a 54mbit connection. Other devices on the
same wireless network keep working if the radio fails (laptop, one of
the 2 squeezebox classics and a PDA)

This afternoon I'm going to try an ethernet cable instead of the
wireless interface to rule out any potential wireless problems.

Additional information:

The radio uses Firmware 7.4.2-r8423, the Server runs the 7.4.2 software
on ubuntu linux.

2010-03-22 Thread steve0564

I fully agree with the opinion of ssnickerss!
I think, for me it's better to configure all boxes from a central place
like a webui. So I had not to walk from room to room to look and try to
get the same settings.
And I'm thinking there are to many problems of two intelligences like a
server and a intelligent radio.
I've never had a electric equipment with so many bugs like the radio
has
Now the radio is down in the basement and I'm only using my booms and
classics.
I've now tested the radio for just two weeks and I've noticed that this
thing is a horror.
Just my opinion!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Configuring from mysqueezebox.com

2010-03-22 Thread toby10

I agree as well, server side settings are preferred and for a number of
reasons:

-  Factory Resets wipe all such settings from player
-  Multiple players = multiple configurations
-  Easier to visualize such settings on a web UI

Whether the new players like Radio  Touch are capable of retrieving
such settings from the server I cannot say.  
But imagine having four such players and deciding to make a simple menu
item change, this requires doing so on each player individually.

The older players like SB3 and Boom retrieve all such saved settings
the moment they connect to either SBS or MySB.

aubuti;526984 Wrote: 
 Two things. First, while similar in function, the Boom and Radio are
 very different in design and capabilities. The Boom is a slim (aka
 dumb) client that can't do anything except tell time without a server
 (SB Classic can't even do that). The Radio has a full-fledged operating
 system, so configuration and other things can be done right on the
 device. Second, you can do almost all the same settings for the two
 devices (see below for a key exception). The difference is that the Boom
 depends on the server, whereas for the Radio you do many of the same
 settings on the Radio itself. And you can do these settings on the Radio
 without running a local server.
 

Can I set minimum brightness when on auto dimming on the radio like I
can on my other devices through MSB.com? This would be an important
feature.

Also, like many others have said, I also think allowing a central
control point for all devices is important for those with more than one.
It seems counter productive to not offer this feature which is available
on older devices. Many people are like me who try to get a device for
each room of the house. In a situation like this, having to go to each
individual device and configure is far less efficiant than having a
central location.

Yes, that is one of the fixes in 7.5.0.  Also, they just fixed the
issue with Boom remotes and volume control (used to be the Boom remote
would only allow 1-2 volume steps for volume hold... also affected

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Problems playing radio streams from di.fm and sky.fm

2010-03-22 Thread Bassman

Up until this update (Firmware 7.4.2-r8423) hit a bit ago, I never had
this issue with the SBRadio I've owned since Jan. Now, I get the play
about 10 minutes, then drop issue nearly all the time, and I have seen
it is identified as Rebuffering Failed errors. I posted about it on a
topic another person started specifically for this update #. I run it
connected to MySB.com.

I pointed out there that, if this Radio had acted like this in the
beginning, I would have thought it was broken, too. The fact that it
didn't used to act like this doesn't help you much, except to confirm it
likely isn't a problem with your specific unit.

I guess I'm waiting for the next update, now, to see if this gets
better.

[SlimDevices: Radio] own a Radio and battery? Please test this alarm behavior

2010-03-22 Thread peterw

with SBS 7.4.2, 7.4.3/daily, or 7.5.0 and either the official battery or
a home-made battery

1) make sure the battery is fairly well charged
2) set an alarm for 30 minutes after the current time
3) unplug Radio from the wall
4) after 20 minutes, Radio should shut down to conserve battery
5) see if the alarm sounds at the scheduled time

Currently Radio will *not* sound an alarm if you turn it off by
pressing the power button (by design). I'd like to know if the alarm
will sound if the power goes out overnight, or if auto shutdowns also
effectively squelch scheduled alarms.

Thanks!

 Fact #2; set an alarm on your radio, wait a little to make sure the
 server gets the settings, power down the radio (I don't mean powered
 down to the clock, I mean powered down to the good bye screen so the
 display is blank). wait until the appointed time and check the radio,
 did on anything happen? nope.

...and indeed this is what Logitech intended. See

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio - Full Power down when on battery?

2010-03-22 Thread JJZolx

Seems to me an odd distinction between powering down manually and
powering down automatically on battery power.  You mean to tell me that
if I just pull the plug out of the wall and throw the Radio into my
luggage then the alarm may go off while my bags are going through
airport security?  Oh, joy.

There are a lot of these little if you do A then X happens, but if you
do B then Y happens things like this that are completely undocumented
and that nobody would ever have a chance of figuring out.

Sure, since I can't imagine any good way for Radio to differentiate
between your yanking the plug and burning battery for another 20
minutes, and your power going out. What's it supposed to do, see if the
network is still up? At my house, my broadband and wifi are on a UPS,
and I wouldn't bother putting a battery-equipped device like a laptop or
Radio on a UPS.

Ben and Tom's answer to you is to hold the power button until Radio
says Goodbye (whether on AC or battery), and then you're safe.
Honestly, though, are you really more concerned about Tom's
taking-Radio-through-the-airport than you are
sleeping-late-because-the-power-failed? Given how nasty some of the
comments have been about Radio alarm failures, do you really think it's
wiser for Logitech to cater to the Tom-airport scenario than the
didn't-know-Goodbye-meant-no-alarm scenario?
