Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Problem with alarm sound

It's interesting that the log has the radio talking to mysqueezebox.com.
I keep the radio connected to my local squeezebox server, not
mysqueezebox
I think that I read somewhere that the natural alarm sounds come from
mysqueezebox? Could that be why it goes there?
It's odd enough that an alarm function needs a server at all, but
involving 2 different servers is beyond odd. One would think that a
radio with a computer inside would be smart enough to simulate an alarm
clock all by itself
Oh sorry - I misinterpreted your logfile. MySqueezebox is indeed just
the source of the alarm-tune.
While one could question if this is the right thing to do - actually it
shouldn't be that bad (except that MySB.com has proved to be unreliable
sometimes). See - if you'd have a normal stream as alarm tune (say a
radio-station) it would also connect to a foreign stream.
As a reference here is the log from my radio (also connected to a local
server, but connecting to a radio stream)

Unfortunately for good (i.e. without fallback alarm) alarm function you
need the following working components:
#1: a robust squeezeboxserver, that sends an alarm event at the right
time (in your failing case 'too late' from the viewpoint of the radio -
most probably because the Radios time was not in Sync to the server)
#2: a robust stream for the alarm-tune (could be a local mp3 on your
local server - most robust, or a stream from the net - I wouldn't
choose MySB.com *g*)
#3: if the stream comes from 'outside', then of course a working
internet-connection.
I do have a local server, so could take care of point #1). Actually #2
+ #3 proved to be very robust for me. In the last month I had a
fallback alarm just once - and that was because the internet was down
(#3).
Thats the curse of modern streaming requirements I guess :)
And thanks to Marcs work I can rely on the fallback alarm if #1,#2,#3
is wrong, so I trust the Radio much more than in the =7.4.1 times.
Of course if anything from #1,#2,#3 isn't reliable one will get very
annoyed because of the loud and disturbing regular fallback-alarm.
But to be honest - I don't think the Radio should be blamed first - it
does a very good job now in not failing to play some tune at all :D -
but one has to see how the 'environmental' points from above can be
made robust.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
Radio plays MUCH better with FW 7.4.2, only stops once in a while versus every couple of hours with 7.5. Now tho, keep getting constant reminders to upgrade to 7.5. What a pain!Also increased buffer from 3 to 6 as suggested by someone in another thread, but still had one stoppage yesterday - all of a sudden it's quiet, I look over and the clock face is showing on the radio.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Step forward in iplayer listen again content
Hi Triode, The fast forward responce and speed through programs could be improved which would be good. At the moment if listening to a three hour long listen again content pressing forward and then forward again is how to fast forward but if you miss time the presses the program restarts from the begining. A quicker fast forward would be an advantage such as starts slow and gets quicker the longer the button is held down. A great solution would be to enable say a chapter advance where each press advances say 10-15 mins but suspect that would need to be enabled in the broadcast. Will try and put that forward as a suggestion to the BBC site.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
This 7.5 upgrade situation is frustrating at best. I have two Squeezebox radios that performed flawlessly before the forced upgrade. Now, they lock up frequently, stop playing music after a couple hours, and must be re-booted many times throughout a given day. I find it unacceptable that Logitech doesn't acknowledge this issue and communicate that a fix is forthcoming. Previously, I would have recommended their products - but after this escapade I no longer feel they value their customers. Very bad customer service which causes a negative perception of their corporation.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Problem with alarm sound
This is an interesting discussion. I've been in the computer HW SW business for 40 years, working for some of the biggest companies ( own a small IT company now), so I think that I know systems design. I can see the approach of using a server for playing radio streams, music, podcasts, etc, but not for a basic alarm triggering function. Keep the selected alarm sounds on the radio (fetch it once from a server when chosen as the sound, if one wants a large library of sounds). Keep all alarm triggering local to the radio. If the alarm is a stream for a network source, then go to the server for that (with a local backup sound available). Speaking of servers. Why do I have to deal with two servers?! Only 1 SB server should be in play for any single radio. If a customer wants to host music by running a local SB server, then use that only and never deal with My Squeezebox. Being a user of a local SB server, I fail to see why MySqueezebox.com should ever need to come into play for me. Keep MySqueezebox.com only for those customers who do not want to deal with running a local server (which may end up being the mass-market audience, should the radio catch on as a general consumer product) On the marketing front, Logitech needs to decide if Squeezebox is going to be a mass-market consumer product, like radios, TV's, MP3 players, or just a tech toy for geeks. Someone is going to win the mass-market consumer space for internet radio/music, but that product will be be rock-solid easy-to-use, right out of the box. Too much of the functionality of Squeezebox is hidden and obtained only from digging through sites like this. Don't take this criticism wrong - If I didn't like my SB Radio and didn't think that it was a breakthrough product concept, I wouldn't bother making these suggestions. Logitech is bobbling the ball right now - I hope that they don't drop it. -- davenva davenva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34191 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77883 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
