Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
I updated my Squeezebox Server to 7.5.1 last night and it updated my SBR to 7.5.1. I then shut down the server and ran the SBR for several hours last night and today listening to Slacker and several radio stations without one drop or pause. I don't use the alarms so I can't comment on that but so far so good!! -- egarc egarc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37345 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76938 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm problem status
I run a SBS server and have generally not had any issues with Alarm sounds until I made a change to my music library and the song that was in the alarm playlist. This caused the radio to drop back to the backup sound (was a rude way to wake up), but it was my fault as the song to play did not exist. I released what I had done and deleted the playlist called alarm that I had created. I noticed that the radio had created a playlist called morning alarm and added a new song to this. This failed to work the next morning. Looking into it some more the morning alarm on the webGUI appeared as I typed between the quotes, on the radio it appeared as moring+alarm - I deleted this and recreated a new playlist called alarm and that has worked without issues. While testing - I created 3 alarms that all started within 5 minutes to test different things and got the error on the inbuilt sounds which are generated from a file on MySBS.com. Creating a heaps of test alarms quickly showed me what was going to work for me assuming that my radio maintains connection with the SBS server in my house. -- vdeknock vdeknock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78183 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Podcasts on Radio from internal webserver?
Downloading the podcast and making it look like an album in squeezebox server is an option. But that requires a lot of work if a new episode comes out. That will require a renumbering of the 'tracknumbers' if you want the latest episode to be the first in the list. Yesterday I uploaded the xml file of my local podcasts to a world-accessible webpage and I entered the url to the mysqueezebox podcast player. The xml file is unaltered and contains information that is only accessible on my local lan (addresses like 192.168.1.10). That works! So, now I have a podcast player on all my players AND can refer to local content. -- MikeDelta 2xSB3, 1xBoom, 1xRadio and a Ubuntu FileServer with SBS.

[SlimDevices: Radio] I am getting totally fed up!
First of all, I'm not an idiot when it comes to networking. I worked 8 years as network admin for webmd.com and am now head of Macintosh IT for my current employer. I know my way around a network. Bought my SBR back when 7.4.2 was the latest firmware, over all I had few if any problems. Since the dreaded 7.5 update, nothing but problems. If I run my own SBS under OSX, things are fine, however, I don't always want to keep that box running 24/7. At the moment, I'm watching the animated circle do it's thing on the home screen after choosing Favorites. It's been sitting there spinning for the last 15 minutes. This problem is repeatable any time the radio has been playing for 10-15 minutes or more (works fine after a cold boot). If I press one of the 6 preset buttons, it changes to that preset, but try to select Favorites and it just sits there spinning. This problem also exists with the nightly builds when I push the contained Radio firmware to the unit. Something with this many problems is a CONSUMER product?!?! Is someone trying to sabotage Logitech? Whomever tested and approved this software before pushing it should be grateful they're not one of my employees. I'm this close -- to tossing it (can't sell it on eBay as I'd like to preserve my reputation there) and buying something from *anyone* else. Now, what is the fix for this? -- JonInAtl JonInAtl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37231 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78256 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] I am getting totally fed up!
Yes I did get the update. The radio just sits there at the spinning wheel animation trying to access anything at MSB. Favorites-wheel Internet Radio-Local-wheel Apps-wheel It will only work if I A. Re-boot it, but then it only works for 10 min or so B. Press a preset button- it goes to the preset but accessing anything on MSB from the home screen results in the animation running forever. C. Run SBS and connect through that. However that is not an option as I bought the radio so I didn't have to have the computer running all the time.

It may be found in the Advanced/Software Updates section of the SBS web preferences (my Radio never nags me as a result even though my SBS is 7.6 and my Radio 7.5.1). I am not sure you are able to access these settings in mysb.com, though. So your best bet may be a more efficient server (like a MacMini, which I use - only 15W when idle - or a sheeva plug etc) if energy consumption is your concern. -- copperstate copperstate's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34756 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78256 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
