I've had a couple of alarm quircks, but otherwise have been happy with my Radio. Certainly the "most basic stuff" has been solid for me since day one.

Guess their is really no reason to believe that the next update will fix any of the blatant bugs and design disasters. They nearly had one year now since the release of the Radio and still the most basic stuff is not nearly working and neither the developers nor their management seem to even realize how broken the software and design really is. I really gave up hope some months ago that the Radio will ever become useful let alone a pleasure to own. It just the lack of alternatives that makes me keep this piece of crap, but I'm annoyed about its quirks every single day of my life. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81889 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Problems, *yes*. Resigned, *no*. I'm ready to pulverize and immolate my Radio in the backyard in a most spectacular and cathartic performance. Stay tuned. It's too late to take it back to the store.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now Playing artwork is not updating! HELP
It's getting worse. I changed absolutely nothing on my end, and suddenly today instead of Now Playing, all I see is "Current Playlist: Nothing". This is when playing internet radio via msb.com, as usual. Rebooting does *not* get rid of it. I know people were complaining about seeing the generic antenna image, which is all I ever saw, but now I'm kind of wishing I had at least that. WHAT IS GOING ON AT MYSQUEEZEBOX.COM? At least with a classic table radio, you could look at the dial to know what station you're on. -- TJ_ Squeezebox Radio, hardware 5, firmware r9009 - eccentric UI, erratic firmware.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wired connection not possible
Test without factory reset and update to firmware 7.5.1-r9009 was positive. Switching connection between LAN and WLAN works without problems.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] So when does the next firmware update come out?
It's really not obscure. If you want to file an official bug, do it on http://bugs.slimdevices.com/ (of course, after first checking to see if it has already been reported). You can always report problems in this user-based forum, or on the official Logitech forum (forums.logitech.com), but bug discussions get lost in all the traffic.

I'd be interested to know how many still have problems with the latest update?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wired connection not possible
Thanx - with the factory reset it worked. And then it's also possible to switch between the LAN and WLAN connection without problems. But I assume it's a bug when one initially connected to WLAN and later wants to connect via LAN and it doesn't work. After the factory reset I was prompted to update the firmware to the latest version 7.5.1-r9009. Maybe a possible connectivity issue was solved with this version. I'll test a firmware update with my other radio and post the result here. -- doubleugk Synology DS410j CPU 800 MHz Bus: 16...@ddr800 Mem: 128 MB 4 Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s 1TB FW DSM 2.3-1141 Plattform armv5tel-linux Perl 5.10.0 - armv5tel-linux-thread-multi MySQL 5.1.34 | SSODS 4.9.1 Squeezebox Server 7.5.1-r30836 | 2 SB Radio, FW 7.5.1-r8837 | SB Receiver FW 65 S/PDIF -> Proceed CDP | SqueezePlay beta 7.5.1 | iPod touch with iPeng app v1.2.7 to control everything :-) doubleugk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36464 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81885 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] So when does the next firmware update come out?
You could install the nightly beta versions of Squeezebox Server on your pc and it will update as they come out, but be warned that those are works-in-progress and there are bound to be problems from time to time. Overall, new fw comes out when (a) there is a "critical mass" of bug fixes and/or enhancements, and (b) it has passed the QA process. There are no fixed intervals for updates, but if you monitor the Beta forum you may get an idea of the time horizon for updates, but not fixed dates. New firmware for the Radio is usually released shortly after updates for the other Squeezeplay-based products (Touch and SB Controller). The Radio comes last because if something goes wrong it is harder to rollback the firmware because it doesn't have an SD card slot or USB port like the other devices. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81889 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

why do you need one? the actual is the first one which is stable and usable => at least for me! any update would probably just ruin already working things! best regards! -- simsboard so far only 1x Squeezebox Radio with selfmade batterykit changed from mysb.com to a local server http://www.lastfm.de/user/weanabazi simsboard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81889 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
