[SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is not using playlist
I've configured the daily alarm to use a certain playlist, but this doesn't work. Instead I hear a default sound. If I check the alarm settings, the desired playlist is not selected anymore. I've selected it again, but on the next day, it was not played :-( My server and my Wlan are shutting down every night and waking up every day 25 minutes before the alarm goes off. I assume that the SBR is getting confused by this. I've tested a alarm later during the day, after this behavior in the morning, and it works fine using a specific playlist.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using radio headphone socket and speaker
Does it help to just turn the volume down on the sub (or turning it off, but keeping the jack plug in)? If so, that may mean you've got a 'phase problem' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subwoofer#Phase_control). That's an inherent downside to not having an 'active filter' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_filter) built into the unit. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- duet + boom + radio (+touch on the way) / wrt160n/dd-wrt / sbs 7.5.1 or higher/win7(32b)/avira free Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80484 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using radio headphone socket and speaker
Thanks Soulkeeper; I will try some tweaking, but the sound quality is noticeably reduced in the SBR's internal speaker, not the sub itself. So for example; if I turn the Sub fully-off, but have it plugged into the headphone-jack, and select, Both on, in the Headphone switch app, the sound quality of the music coming only out of the SBR's internal speaker, is low quality. If I then pull the Sub-jack out of the SBR, the sound automatically improves, this is an improvement only in the SBR's internal speaker. Can tweaking the Sub's Phase (0 or 180), Low Pass (80-160Hz), or Volume, effect the quality of the SBR's internal speaker?

[SlimDevices: Radio] Disappointed
As per my sig I am a fanboy. I am however initially disappointed with the performance of the radio. I don't need an alarm to wake me up but I do like to be woken by the radio if that makes sense.(wife gets up an hour before me). For more than a year I have had the boom in the bedroom streaming BBC R5 via mysb.com at 6:55am without fault or fail. I don't really want a 24/s SBS server to do this for the moment. I need the boom for another room so bought a radio, looks so nice so I set up my alarm for this morning. Like an excited child I was awake a few minutes before and then watched with glee as 6:55 flicked over and the dulcet tones of the presenter faded in. After about 30 secs but certainly less than a minute the voice faded to be replaced by some jaunty/jangly music I guesse was the default fall back alarm. Obviously read loads of posts about hats and shoes and the fact that the alarm is just a function of this mono wireless player, but nevertheless I am disappointed. What I don't understand is why did things work perfectly with my boom but when I ask the radio to do the same it fails at a first try. Style over substance? Logitech need to sort this, I would not have parted with £100 had I known this was such an issue. -- wonder boy Squeezebox fan boy and proud... 2x Boom 1x SB3 Just ordered SB Radio...do I need help? wonder boy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82009 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Maybe the speaker and jack output shares the same DSP, and the jack sensor disables the bass boost in the DSP or something. If that's it, I don't know if it can be overridden in software. Sorry. The Boom's audio design is described in a 'downloadable PDF' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/uploads/a/ad/Logitech_Squeezebox_Boom_Audio_Design.pdf), but I haven't seen anything like that for the Radio.

No, a failing network isn't necessarily the user's fault. I can't see that anybody has said that. The post I quoted names router, the network, WIFI interference, hard drive, computer running SbS, or music tags as reasons for problems with the Radio. Indeed none of the major flaws is in any way related to any of these points. Besides, neither a crappy server side implementation (MYSB) nor a broken client side implementation is a failing network.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Disappointed
The radio also stops randomly without backup alarm. Even the euphemistic release note of the last software update said that the random stopping was just reduced, not fixed. Indeed this doesn't say much anyway, as before the last update, the alarm didn't work at all in 9 of 10 cases. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82009 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

So far for the last 8 days it has managed to turn on BBC Radio 4 at the correct alarm time each day with no backup alarm kicking-in. I'll leave it this way for a few weeks to see if anything odd happens. However, even on this limited trial it seems that the Radio does indeed work properly with MYSB.com, provided you have a good internet connection, a reliable radio station and a solid internal network (wi-fi in the case of my Radio). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] So when does the next firmware update come out?
If you guys want to complain, please complain where someone listen to
what you are saying, this would be either:
1. Logitech support: http://www.logitech.com/support
or
2. The official Logitech forum which Logitech support staff reads:
http://forums.logitech.com
You can complain all you want here too but none that can solve your
problem reads your complains here, Logitech support staff don't monitor
this community forum anymore. They did read this forum earlier but this
is no longer the case, read the sticky thread for more information:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80919
Generally, my feeling is that prioritization within Logitech is largely
based on what people complains about to the official Logitech support
staff. So if they get a lot of complains about something that doesn't
work, they prioritize it for the next delivery. So if you feel that
something doesn't work as advertised, please use one of the above
mentioned channels to make sure they know about it. They are of course
also aware of some problems mentioned here, since some Logitech
developers still reads this forum from time to time, but I'm pretty
sure it will give a lot better effect if you complain using the
official channels.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Disappointed
Yeah, yeah, user's fault. Sure. I have a rock solid 25MBit/s internet connection that has no issues streaming HD-IPTV video streams. All of my other devices WLAN or not, work flawlessly, just the radio is not able to work reliably. So yeah, it must be my setup. For sure my 100% stable internet connection is to blame that the Radio is so buggy that even switching it off doesn't work. Very plausible. And no, there weren't dozens, if not hundreds of bug reports regarding alarm reliability, all merged or claimed to be either duplicates of unrelated issues or set to resolved without being fixed. Guess this great reliability is also the reason for all the overwhelming reviews on Amazon. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82009 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
