Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Folders for mysqueezebox

2021-04-03 Thread garym


Open LMS, click on Favorites in  the WebGUI, then to the far right
border of the word FAVORITES there is  a little "pencil" icon. Click on
this. Now you can edit, rearrange,  rename, etc your Favorites. At this
point you can also create folders  and subfolders and move your
favorites into these folders.  I have lots  of folders and subfolders
for my favorites. 

Now the above only works for your local LMS, not mysb.com favorites.   
There's been lots of requests to add folder capability to mysb.com 
favorites.  There is an easy workaround to get this however.

1. Create your local LMS favorites with folders, etc.
2. copy your "favorites.opml" file from its location on your local
computer running LMS.
3. put a copy of this "favorites.opml" file somewhere on a website where
you have access and can reference it by URL (a URL that doesn't 
change). I put my favorites.opml file on DROPBOX. Then I copy the
dropbox link (URL) to  that file and paste this URL into a FAVORITES on
mysqueezebox.com. NOTE: the end of this dropbox URL may be "dl=0" and if
so, change this to "dl=1". I  give this favorite a name in
mysqueezebox.com such as "Gary's LMS Favorites".

So now, even if I'm on mysqueezebox.com (and not my local LMS), I can 
click on "Gary's LMS Favorites" in my FAVORITES listing and see all my 
favorites with folder structure intact. Works really nicely and easy to 
setup.  Every once in a while, I copy my most recent favorites.opml file
from LMS and replace the one on my dropbox site so that I keep it up 
to date.

EDIT:  obviously my favorites list is only internet radio. Actual local
files wouldn't be available on mysb.com

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Issue with Radio - Blue Icon

2021-04-03 Thread Apesbrain


My one wireless Radio rarely gets used and also suffers from the "blue
icon" problem every few weeks.  I am running latest Community Firmware. 
Connected via (g) wireless; no "mesh" or any other newer technologies. 
Takes a power cycle to get it reconnected to LMS.

Going to try a static DHCP lease to see if any more stable.
