Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Presets - Just Where are they Stored Anyway?
They're stored on the server side (SBS or MySB). Radio only tries to keep track of *whether* a button has a preset defined. If so, when you tap the button, Radio turns on and then asks the server to play "preset #1", etc. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78740 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Presets - Just Where are they Stored Anyway?
Curious - with all of the preset problems on the Radio I'm wondering where they're stored and how it all works. Obviously they're not exposed on the Mysqueezebox.com website if you're running the Radio through that. However, what if you're running the Radio exclusively with a local Squeezebox Server? Do the URLs for the Presets get pulled down into the Radio itself at one point or another? I've poked around in the file structure of the radio by SSHing in - I saw (based on Erland's plugin) that some settings are stored in /etc/squeezeplay/userpath/settings but I can't seem to find anything where the presets are actually stored... Ultimately I want to the URL of a preset and see if there's a reason why I can play Napster playlists as a preset but not as a favorite... Any clues as to where I can intercept what's stored in those Presets? -- spedinfargo spedinfargo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78740 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] I am getting totally fed up!
I solved my alarm, connection, and totally random player stopping problems in one fell swoop! I replaced my SBR with a Reciva based radio from Grace Digital. The alarm works EVERY morning! Player streams consistently every night until the sleep timer shuts it off. No, it doesn't have the same look or feel of the SBR, but it's 100% USABLE and that, in my opinion, trumps all else. As for the SBR... it's on my desk in at work where I don't have to relay on it for anything, like, you know, waking me up. Yes it still stops playing at random, but now I get my finger exercise re-starting it rather than flipping it off. -- 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] Does anyone recommend the SB Radio?
Squeezebox Radio is the first internet radio type device I have purchased and I love it. I got it to replace an aged and dysfunctional clock radio. The alarm has worked fine for me except for the odd occasion when there was user error and I set it incorrectly. There have been some issues with the backup alarm kicking in (which can be traumatic), but it has always got me up. I have not used the SBserver to stream music from my computer because I do not have a digital music collection (yet), but I listen to internet radio a lot. At the moment, it is suffering from occasional stream drops, but they are easily remedied. I do listen to podcasts which you say is one of the things you plan to use it for. The only problem with the Radio is that it does not have a bookmark function so that if you stop listen to a podcast to go to another program you will loose your place and have to FF to where you were (if you can remember) which is a pain. Also, some podcasts do not support FF so that if you leave them before they finish, you have to go back and listen all over again to get to the point where you left off, an even bigger pain. All these things aside, I love my radio. All it takes is a little patients. Those of us who lived through Windows 5.1, do not complain too much about buggy programs. -- mpower9 mpower9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33930 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78357 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

So the radio knows how to keep track of time and alarm without SBS (or MSB) and it knows how to stream internet radio without SBS (or MSB). Logically, it should be possible to combine the two. I guess the problem is that for now it relies on the "original" server to tell it what to stream (URL stored on the server) and if this server is unavailable it will use the fall back sound. First option Couldn't it just switch to MSB automatically? is there any way to configure this? like "if SBS is unavailable for >5 min the switch" perhaps it's more complicated than this (usually is :-) ) Second option If the software was enhanced a bit the radio could store the URL for the internet stream localy (as it does with the alarm time) and use this information in case the server is unavailable. I guess this would benefit SBS users as well as MSB users in case MSB is down. -- Letten Duet -> Audioengine A5 Classic -> Sony surround reciever -> Jamo 5.1 Speakers / JBL 120Ti 2 Boom's SC 7.4.2 on Laptop running Windows XP Linksys WRT54G wireless router Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78584 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

This is a user forum. Is it read by employees of Logitech? Sure. How much? Who knows. Rare is it that official announcements are made here. It happens. New hardware.

As mentioned in another thread the problem may require a major code rewrite. If so that is not a problem that can be fixed in a matter of days or weeks. You have every right to be frustrated and angry.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] The alarm worked this morning!
It's sad and frustrating, but a working alarm really has become such a seldom event that I kinda psyched when it works once in a lifetime. I really don't tend to insult software developers as I'm one myself and know about everything there is to know about messing things up with the best intention. Yet really, how is it possible that a big company like Logitech is not able to hire a few people with at least mediocre design and development skills to finally fix this totally messed up amateurish design disaster. I waited for more than 6 months now for them to fix the thing to simply play the correct station at the correct time. Instead it changes the background every five minutes, wakes me up with the backup alarm at full volume or stops after a few seconds in the rare cases when it is willing or able to start the correct station.

It also doesn't help, when you spam each alarm related thread. As you possibly found and read every thread you will also have found instructions on how to change the fallback-sound and its volume. As much as I agree with you that you shouldn't take that burden and that logitech should fix the problem: it won't happen in reasonable time for you - so either its - selling the SBRadio and hope that some other device is better - fix it on your own with the help of the people in the forum (which are not paid by logitech, so be nice to them!) - call the Logitech CEO, maybe he can help. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

More serious issues get no comment and a lot of "throwing spaghetti at the wall" attempts at a fix. There are obviously some fundamental flaws at the heart of the alarm problems that will either take a long time to fix, or a complete redesign.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
I have reset factory my SBRadio and not connect it to my NAS (because of alarm problem). My NAS is off.

May 11, 2010 – Update Still haven’t heard back from Logitech Support. Last night, I decided to try my SBR with an Ethernet Cable and a “Restore Factory Settings” starting with a restore boot by holding the “+” key while powering up. I attached the Ethernet cable and went through the process. After re-booting, I reinstalled my software to make sure that everything was as good as it could get. The results were that nothing had changed: 1. I still had my default (Black and White) Radio Station Art. 2. My slow buffering problem still existed while using the Ethernet cable. Note that is is NOT present when using the Squeezebox Server. 3. Colored Album Art worked perfectly on Pandora, exactly as it does when operating on WiFi.

The Radio always needs its server - for triggering the alarm and telling it which stream to play (the Radio currently only remembers the alarm time for the fallback, but without server wouldn't know the stream to play) - the server (sometimes) transcodes the Radio-Streams if they are not in a format supported by the Radio -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Inconsistent Album Art Appearing
Not sure how the scan determines new and changed files and whether this is limited just to music files ie. it will pick up if you embed cover art into your music files and it doesnt look for new folder.jpg files that have been added into directories. You can use the rescan plugin and have it do a full rescan overnight or whatever time doesnt interfere with your listening experience. -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Visit for an enhanced Interface for MusicIP and integration tips and tricks, Plugin coding tips, Spicefly SugarCube the MIP AutoDJ plugin and SpiceyWeather an animated weather forecast plugin! cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78320 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
I think the problem is that playing radio stream can stop from time to time (main problem) then when it arrives during alarm I get, of course, the back up alarm. So, why radio stream stop to play ?? mySB.com problems ? It is possible as we know that problems have occured before. The SBRadio uses a different protocol to communicate with mySB.com. We can see posts about this problem in this forum.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Inconsistent Album Art Appearing
Did a bit more digging through the database and it looks like the COVER field in the TRACKS table is only populated for the first track in an album All the other tracks in that album seem to pick up their cover from the ARTWORK field in the ALBUMS table. This field contains the ID of the track in the TRACKS table which holds the link to the cover.jpg in the COVER field Quite why it works this way I'm not sure, maybe it's quicker to scan that way, but I suspect that this may be the cause of my problem I just added a cover.jpg and did a rescan of changed items (ie not a full rescan) and it seems to have picked up the artwork OK for most - but the way it renumbers changed and new files means that it could quite easily get itself in a twist.

The wifi icon stays white. If I listen to the same radio at the same time with my SBBoom or another brand of wifi radio : theses sets don’t stop playing the radio stream.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
Just bought a SB Radio TODAY!!! Had to buy 2 before I got one to work right. Radio #1: Was forced immediately to upgrade to 7.5 on initial setup. First attempt to download had an error, so I did it again, successfully. Then downloaded & installed the SB Server on my computer, loaded a few apps, programmed a few presets and thought I was good to go. At one point, station stopped, and clock screen appeared. Then strange things started happening with my menu. Couldn't find "My music" anymore (even tho I was connected to the server). Also Presets started disappearing. Took that radio back and got a new one. But before I did anything, I found this forum and decided I didn't want to upgrade to 7.5. I tried all the tricks mentioned to not upgrade and get out of the upgrade screen, but was locked on that screen until I finally gave up and did it. What I did next was uninstall the SB Server, click on the link in an earlier post in this thread for 7.4.2 of the SB Server and downloaded/installed that. Then I turned on the radio and it pretty quickly told me to download the 7.4.2 software, which I happily did. Working fine now. When I switch over to mysqueezebox.com though I get the prompt to upgrade back to 7.5. Luckily I'm able to ignore that and push menu or one of the presets and the disappears and the radio acts fine. But most of the time I'll be on the SB server since I stream my mp3 files from a computer that's on 24/7. Am I fixed? I sure hope so. Thanks to everyone in this thread for all the advice. (If I'd have read it before I bought the radio though, I probably wouldn't have!). I'll definitely do some research here before I voluntarily upgrade again. -- diannabill diannabill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38082 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] Trying to Access Radio Networks in App Gallery
Are you running the SBS program on your computer? Or are you connecting your Radio directly to MySqueezeBox.com? App Gallery will only offer to Install that App. Go to My Apps to configure any Apps (if needed). If connecting your player to MySqueezeBox.com you can control the playback by using the Remote Control feature on the web UI. In there you will see all of your installed Apps and the stations included within them. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78528 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Your Radio is not connected to MySB.com.
Your Radio is connected to your ReadyNASDuo.
There is a network problem between your Radio and the ReadyNAS, as you
can see from the logs it 'can't find a route to host'.
I'm not a networking specialist ... but I think you should start
looking at your Router (anything blocked there?) and/or ReadyNas (does
it do other stuff at the same time and isn't answering fast enough?).
Maybe also look at the Radio if it has a good wireless connection.

So I'd suggest to try two things: 1) a week with your ReadyNas turned on 24/7 and your Radio connected to it 2) a week with your ReadyNas turned off, so MySB.com is used only (don't forget a factory reset, so that your Radio forgets about the ReadyNas) -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

You beat me to the punch. :) I know people are frustrated. I would be too if I had this problem. Shooting those who want to help is not the answer. I suspect the problem with alarms on the radio is a major problem that will have to be addressed in the programming. If it was a simple fix.it would have been fixed by now. Radio owners have few options at this point. Return it. or Wait. Yes, it is a bit*h. Yes, it is unfair, undemocratic, and Obama is to blame :) but it is what it is. Taking it out on those who attempt to help is not the answer. -- brucegrr brucegrr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78345 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
