Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB Radio Drops Streams, disappears constantly --- SB3s are good
Well, I lodged this with Logitech Technical Support and had a reply this morning! Dear CyprusGrump, Thank you for contacting Logitech's Customer Care. I am sorry to hear that your are having trouble with your Squeezebox Radio. I know it can be frustrating when it does not work as it should. I do have some further questions as the post on our Third party forums are a bit hard to follow. 1. Are you playing all of your Squeezeboxes at the same time? 2. How many squeezeboxs and what types including the Radio do you have? 3. Are all the squeezeboxes wired or wireless or both? How are each hooked up? 4. Are they all stopping when you are turning on the Radio? 5. If you have the Radio connected just to mysqueezebox.com does this still occur? 6. What version of the Squeezebox Server are you running right now? Please note; if we do not hear back from you within 1 week, we will assume that we were successfully able to resolve your support request and will set it to solved. In this case, a survey will be sent to you to gather your feedback. I've replied this morning and will see what happens... -- cyprusgrump cyprusgrump's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87339 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] now playing screen does not change when programmes do?
The lack of show/program information updates happens to me on all my Squeezebox models with any RadioTime station. It's not a problem with the stations, but with how the Squeezebox handles them. If I want to see the new info, I just reselect the station -- that updates the display without interrupting playback. -- bwaldron bwaldron's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87561 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] now playing screen does not change when programmes do?
+1 for Radio Paradise It is the only station I have seen this far that updates the cover for every track. Danish Radio is one of the worst; I will almost bet that if I change to DR P3 right now it still shows the photo from the efternoon show that got cancelled back in november. -- slate Main: Receiver (Audiocom) - Beresford Caiman+ (Gatorized) - Carver A-500x - BW 704 Office: Receiver - Luxman L-210 - Stax SR84 Pro/Superlux HD668B Server: Zotac IONITX-A, 4 GB, 1 TB WD EADS, Win7 w. 7.6 (SQLite w.

slightly off topic i'm afraid but on line 2 of the screen display just below the main heading, i am seeing duplicate wording eg 'Phantom 105.2 - Phantom 105.2' is there anyway to amend what is shown on this line? -- alphabetagaga alphabetagaga's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46444 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87561 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
Chip, Thanks for the feedback. Let me address the numbered cons: 1) The DAR system puts the day in the Playlist URL. Is this not sufficient for you? 2) DAR.fm has 1200 stations in our database. It's true stations do not make their stream URLs easy to find because they want you to go to their web site. Radiotime has a great database that they've pulled together over the last 6 years. We tried to work with them but they didn't want to work with us. So we're making our own. We've only been at it for 3 months and already have a good start. 3) We are testing .asx support which is a format many stations use. We should be able to support that shortly. This should enable the addition of 1000 stations. 4) We can add a smaller time increment to the recording time. I will talk to my engineers about this. 5) A free locker will hold about 70 hours of recording assuming the station transmits at 24kbps aac. This is the bit rate for most AM/FM stations. If the station transmits at a higher bit rate (like some net only stations do) it could be less than 70 hours. For $20 users can get space for about 700 hours so support DAR.fm if you like it and want more storage! I will check out your radio show. -- MR CEO, DAR.fm -- mp3michael mp3michael's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
There are 1200+ stations on DAR.fm to record, but there are many more on the net that are not yet in the system. It's easy to add a station, you just need the streaming URL. Here's instructions about how to find them. 1) Go to Google .com and search for the station name and/or call letters and pls or m3u together in one search like this: kabc pls [OR] kabc m3u 2) Sift through the Google results looking for any URL that ends in .pls. Copy this entire URL. 3) Test the URL in iTunes. Open iTunes. From the Advanced menu select Open Audio Stream and paste the URL in. If you hear nothing that is not a correct URL. Keep trying different URLs until you hear the desired audio then you'll know you have a good URL is good 4) Add the station to DAR.fm by going to this URL http://www.dar.fm/streamadd.php Type in the particulars of the station (location, genre, time zone) and then paste the URL in. It will instantly be available for recording on DAR.fm and playback on Squeezebox. -- mp3michael mp3michael's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
