Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] My 7.5.1 experience so far.....
Hi, I am using my squeezebox radio as an alarm clock in my bedroom and I am experiencing the following issues (connected to MySB server): 1. The alarm clock screen shows only a very small clock that you cannot read even if you are only 1m away. -- This has been mentioned already many times in the forum but it seems that this is not fixed. Unfortunately, the patch installer seems not to work any more so for me there is currently no solution for this. -- This is a real bug for me and one reason why I think about returning the squeezebox radio. For me reading the clock while the alarm is on is a basic requirement! 2. No auto play at startup: If you listen to a internet radio station and then switch off the radio (standby mode) and then wake up in the morning (by yourself and not through an alarm) and you want to listen to the radio again you have to switch on the SB radio and then hit the play button. -- This is almost not possible in a dark bedroom and this is a basic feature fro me! Every radio starts playing, if you switch it on! If this is not fixed soon, I will sell the radio because it cannot be used as a bedroom radio this way!!! It seems that logitech puts a lot of effort into the apps and other fancy stuff but does not implement the basic features of a alarm clock/bedroom radio. -- Jukebox Jukebox's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38801 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79825 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Back off
Hi Nazgul, I for my part only tell members that repeat their rants over and over again that I don't want to listen to it anymore. And even telling those users that their complaints were better somewhere else in my opinion is a way of helping them (thats the reason I'm here - to help them) - because as often pointed out - ranting here is the least effective way of getting anything changed. As some might not know this it is our task to point this out. This has nothing to do with 'posting about the poster'. Also in a community to be staying alive its important to keep a good tone and a constructive environment. Otherwise the community would be dying (or we had a forum which only consists of grumbling members). This doesn't help anyone. Not you, not me and not logitech (though we don't need to take care for logitech ;) ) 'Back Off' definitely isn't the right tone, so I'm afraid I need to tell you my opinion, that I'd like you to get over to other topics, which are more constructive.. Describe your problems with your SB-devices, try to let yourself being helped by the community. This is the reason that this forums exists. The target audience for rants should be logitech.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] My 7.5.1 experience so far.....
Thanks to all for the feedback. 1. Preset does not autoplay Rebooting did not help. But I played around a little bit more and stored the preset again. And now it works! Weired... 2. No autoplay after pressing the power button This is for me, and my wife :-), still not logic. If a stream was playing and I go into standby, I would expect that the stream would autoplay if the power button is pressed again. Also, through a local SB server this option seems to be available (to your explanations). However, I don't want to run a local server. -- I will write to the logitech support to find out, if this option can also be activated on the MySB server. 3. Font size of the clock in the alarm window For me this is still a bug or lets say false spec because if you cannot read the clock from 1m away it is useless to display it. -- However, I will open a new request on bugs.slimdevices.com Hopefully this is changed because otherwise I am quite happy with the radio.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Logitech, you flippin time wasting non-coding bunch of *^%$#
belly full of beer was taken from Elton John's Saturday Night, which is what day it was. Not clear, also not relative. If your insinuating I'm an achoholic and must have been drinking when I assembled the battery pack, then that's just fine. The reason for putting together a battery pack is because I can't buy one from Logitech and yes, I have one on order. What would you like me to do. Wait until Logitech decides to make one available. Again, your problem. I'm not waiting. I've been soldering for probably longer than you've been alive. The battery pack worked just fine for a few days. Yesterday I came home from a particularly rough day visiting my mom at the rest home and just wanted to listen to some music outside. Turned on the Radio, it required an update so I did that. After that the only way to get the Radio to play is to plug it in. It then said it couldn't find the server so I checked the server and it also required an update. So I did that also. The battery indicator shows charged, but if you unplug it, it shuts off. I'm sure the one beer I had while trying this completely fogged my senses and I should seek help. Maybe sometime at the rest center would help. O.K.. Clear enough? Get enough personal information from me. Am I spending enough money with logitech (8 including the TP) so I may have permission to build a battery pack. Did I keep my language clean enough. I realize there have never been any issues with SB's, their software or the firmware so I will now go to rehab, get clean and sober, recheck my battery pack build and if that doesn't work wait until the EOL of the Radio to get a battery pack from Logitech.

Well, there are senior members and senior members. Indeed it's only a small club of senior members who try to scare away people with a a non-euphemistic opinion on SB products. Then again, if this soothes you, even a senior member is not welcome to utter the truth about the Radio here.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] The alarm does not work
I'm starting to see a pattern in the way the alarm works. Mind you, this may be something commonly known to long time SBR owners, but as a newbie I've just discovered it ( as usual, it's not covered in the skimpy manual). Rule of thumb: At the time you set the alarm parameters (especially the alarm sound option), be sure your SBR is connected to the server that will be alive when it's supposed to go off. For example, if I set up my alarm and choose a Sound Effect when the SBR is connected to my PC's SBServer, then shut my PC (or server) down when I go to bed, the alarm that's played will always be the default rock guitar sound rather than my chosen sound effect. In essence, the alarm sound menu choices are actually pointers to the choices, not the choices themselves. There's one set of pointers that lives on your local SB Server, and there's one set that lives on mysqueezebox.com. And, to make it confusing, they can look identical. They both will list Current Playlist, Favorites, Musical Sounds, Natural Sounds, Sound Effects. I think I read somewhere that Favorites ( maybe presets too) saved when connected to SBServer Favorites/presets saved when connected to mysqueezebox.com are supposed to sync up, but they don't (or at least they never have for me). I had to create two identical sets in order to access my favorites preset buttons so that regardless of which server I was currently connected to, they would play. So if you've set your alarm sound when connected to SBServer, the SBR alarm is going to look for the pointer to your favorite or sound on the SBServer. And if your home SBServer is down, it won't find the pointer, and will therefore play the default alarm sound. So for me, since I shut down my SBServer at night, before I set up an alarm, I make sure that I'm connected to myqueezebox.com first (I added the switch to myqueezebox.com item to my home menu). It always plays the right favorite/sound when I do this. -- BLatSD BLatSD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79559 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Sleep icon has disappeared
Since installing 7.5.1, the sleep icon has disappeared from my Radio when the alarms are turned off. My alarms are set to go off Monday - Friday morning. Friday night and Saturday night when I want to fall asleep with the Radio on, set to sleep in 60 minutes and I hit the sleep button on the remote or use the shortcut I created using the mute button, the icon doesn't appear at the bottom of the screen. I can't be certain the if radio will turn off but by using the radio menu to navigate to the sleep setting, it seems to work, but still without showing the sleep icon in the screen. When the alarm is on, the sleep icon appears without problem though I'm not seeing the time amounts of sleep time through the shortcut. I think this is a bug. Has anybody else noticed similar behavior? All and all, 7.5.1 seems to more stable, especially in eliminating most radio shut downs after playing for a minute. z -- ziza ziza's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35866 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79862 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
