Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now Playing artwork is not updating! HELP
Looks like this thread's gone cold, so either the problem is going away or users are giving up. I'll post this observation just for the record. After numerous trials and reverting to v7.4.x firmware, I found no sequence of operations that would ensure the album art and user control (+key) features on Rhapsody and Pandora worked all the time; they seemed to come and go at random, so I re-upgraded to V7.5.1 r9009 to stop the constant nags to do so. Once while it was not working, I noticed a screen Could not connect to mysqueezebox.com, if this persists,... that never persisted long enough to read the whole of it. Pandora and Rhapsody would nonetheless display playlists, channels, etc., and play them, but without the artwork and control features. Despite the above dialog, logging into mysqueezebox.com with a web browser and examining the player tab, however, showed the radio as being connected. Manual disconnect attempts from the browser instantly reconnected as long as the SB radio remained powered up. Rhapsody and Pandora continued to display and play without the album artwork or control features. I forced the SBradio to disconnect by pulling its power, then forced a disconnect and removed it via the browser at mysqueezebox.com. Factory resetting the SBRadio then caused it to go back through the entire setup dialog including the account email and password for mysqueezebox.com. With that done, artwork and control functions reappeared on both Pandora and Rhapsody. The MyMusic functions, however, now return a dialog that a Squeezebox server must be downloaded, installed, and running. When I first began using the SBRadio and before all the problems with artwork and controls began, I recall seeing a connecting dialog when changing back and forth between MyMusic (on the SBServer) and Internet Radio, Pandora, or Rhapsody (via mysqueezebox.com) That behavior has changed, or else the can't connect dialog appears instead, but is so fleeting that I don't notice it. >From the SqueezeOS Architecture description: Two modes of operation are supported. Firstly when the user has one or more SqueezeCenters located on their local network. In this scenario all the audio players and SqueezeOS-based controllers are connected to the SqueezeCenter. The SqueezeCenter controls the state and actions of all connected devices. Internet services are available via the OPML/http connection from SqueezeNetwork (this is planned for SqueezeCenter 7). The second scenario is when the user is not using SqueezeCenter (either they dont have it installed or the PC is turned off). In this case all the audio players and SqueezeOS-based controllers are connected directly to SqueezeNetwork. It seems to be the PC is turned off part of the second scenario that appears not to work reliably. Since I don't intend to use a SBserver regularly, I will not run it nor allow the SBRadio to connect to it. We'll see if that fixes the problem with Rhapsody and Pandora (which are all I really need, anyway.) -- dlpoole dlpoole's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39916 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73290 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Using remote radio services
I recently bought my in-laws a SB and I was hoping to allow them to access my music collection on my music server. They live in a different town and thus are not behind my firewall. I am currently using orb and (sometimes) tversity to serve music to my blackberry. I have this working but I have a login so that I am not serving my collection to the entire Internet. Can someone verify that I am right about the following: there is no way to allow SB Radio to log in to something like Orb. The only thing that I could do to have any kind of security around this is to implement something at the network level (VPN or the like). Thanks you very much in advance. -- muchgooder muchgooder's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40100 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

What I use: my server is running Linux, so I use 'knockd' to listen for "knocks" and a couple scripts to open things for knockers. The premise is that one must "knock" on a certain number of specific ports and knockd will see these and automatically open a firewall for those ports. It is easy enough to script these knocks on Linux, and should be port knocking clients for Windows. If their IP changes, they just have to knock again. If they have a reasonably static IP (where reasonable = "making changes won't annoy you too much"), you could do without that and just restrict access by IP. I would do this at the router instead of relying on SBS's network restrictions, but I'm paranoid. That may be the easiest method. Just open 3483 tcp/udp and 9000 tcp from their IP to your server at the router. Will work fine until their IP changes. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using remote radio services
Knowing the technically savy & creative types here, there'll probably be a lot of answers to this. 1. Subscribe to MP3Tunes account, upload your collection there, and install the MySB.com app on your player. That way, anyone can listen you give your logon/pw to via web browser whether they're in your network or not. 2. MS Live Sync is pretty cool. Set up an account, d/l & run the software, select the folders you wish to share on your live sync space, then add your family's email addresses. They receive a link to connect to your shared folder. It also does syncing between computers, just don't use that part. 3. Another obvious solution is to set up an FTP server. Pretty easy with server software & port forwarding. You could set the logon to read-only. I recommend ServU, it's expensive, but fully compliant & bug free. There is cheaper FTP server software, I found I get what I pay for. I've heard filezilla mentioned here. 4. You could of course copy your collection to another hard drive & plug it into a Pogoplug for your family. -- BLatSD BLatSD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now Playing artwork is not updating! HELP
It's amazing how so many variations of so many problems are posted here. I use MySB.com exclusively but my Rhapsody & Pandora art works. It's only RadioTime stations that don't (so far). Based on the fact that the problem doesn't seem to be getting any attention from the developers, I lost all hope that it will be fixed anytime soon. As previously stated, I found my workaround so I'm not as concerned about it, even though it's a bit of a pain in the rear to step through the workaround. And after all, we're talking about a display issue, something that bugs the heck out of me, but nothing that inhibts the primary purpose of the radio, to stream content. Which brings me to the point that's bothering me the most right now, which is the interruption of streaming after 45 minutes to an hour that the most recent firmware was supposed to have improved upon. With this kind of performance, I don't need a sleep feature. I now know why the call it the "baby", because you always have to baby sit it. :-) -- BLatSD BLatSD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73290 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I thought you said that you bought your in-laws SB Radio, not that you bought them one. Without them running a PC, Mp3Tunes is all that comes to mind. They could also subscribe to Rhapsody & start creating their own online library for $9.99 a month! -- BLatSD BLatSD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I don't know if there is a port knocking server for windows (something that automagically changes your firewall rules). So in your case, the simplest method is two steps: In your router configuration there should be some settings for what to pass through. "Port Forwarding" or something similar is what it would be. You would tell your router, "all connections on ports 3483 (both tcp and udp) and connections on port 9000 (tcp) should go to whatever-the-ip-of-your-server is." (Your server should, then, have a static IP on your network so you don't have to change these rules if the router gives it a new IP.) If your router lets you, you may also be able to restrict it by source: ie, only packets from 1.2.3.4 should get through to my server on these ports. But many routers don't let you specify things like that. Then you need to make a change on your server machine: on the SBS settings interface, under Advanced -> Security there is a setting for allowed clients. here you would want to specify both your own network (likely to be 192.168.1.0/24) as well as the IP of your inlaws. Add in 127.0.0.1 as well. Then hold your breath and set the "block incoming connections" pulldown to Block. You may or may not also have to allow the same ports in any firewall software you're running. Just like your router, if you can specify the source address, it's good to do that. Layers of security are good. Then set the radio to connect to your public IP (ie, the router's IP which you'll see on any pages that do "show me my ip") and you're done. The radio will connect to that IP... the router will realize it should port forward those ports and send it onto your server, your server firewall should see it and pass it, and SBS should see it and act on it. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I have followed that approach successfully..to awaken press power first then play. But today the screen stayed stuck on last nights station inspite of following the 'workaround'. I can select and play new stations, but the artwork is stuck at last night.

This includes prior firmware and the current firmware. I have never ran a local server-have always connected to mysb.com. I do experience the radio art problems. But for me, the problem was there before this last upgrade. This for sure: the last upgrade stop the radio from turning off when first turn on.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Auto Retry
I still use my good 'ole Roku Soundbridge M1001, and one thing I sure miss on the SqueezeBox Radio (maybe other/all Squeezebox products too) is an auto retry on streams/connections. I click on a favorite, I get an error message indicating in so many words that the 'broadcasters' servers are full, and I have to keep trying to connect over and over manually. Sure would be a very nice feature. Of course, it would need an abort (or maybe a configurable maximum retry count) so it doesn't try to reconnect indefinitely. -- BLatSD BLatSD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81503 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I think putting it on repeat will continue retrying a station.

[SlimDevices: Radio] selina....@apdrc.net Poles hold 5th most .eu domain names
(This article is released by selina@apdrc.net www.apidnr.com.hk) Polish people hold the fifth highest number of the .eu internet domain name, just behind France and just ahead of Italy, Home.pl has found. According to the European Registry of Internet Domain Names (EURid), the operator of the .eu domain, 200,000 Poles currently use the .eu domain, up from 150,000 in July 2009. Germans remain the most prolific holders of the .eu domain, with nearly one million of them registered to German businesses and individuals. They are followed by the Dutch, who have 424,000 .eu domains, the British, with 316,000, and the French with 280,000. There are a total of 3.2 million .eu domains registered throughout the European Union. The domain is the ninth most popular in the world. The vast majority of selina@apdrc.net addresses registered by us belong to companies, Marcin Kuśmierz of Home.pl, which mediates about one-third of .eu domain registrations in Poland, told Gazeta Wyborcza. Most of the created domains are renewed, which means companies are in fact using them and they are valuable, he said. Registrations for the .eu domain started on December 7 2005, at which time the domain was made available only to the EU's public institutions. The domain was opened up to the public on April 7 in the following year.
