Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Ok disable auto upgrade from mysb
I'm using Version: 7.4.2 - r30215 and can't guarantee that this is available in any other version. That said, load up the server Web interface, go to the Advanced panel on the right, choose Software Updates from the dropdown menu in the upper left corner. Set Software Updates to Don't check for software updates and Automatic downloads to Do not automatically download updates. -- Bob S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Questions Regarding Alarm
I echo 0xdeadbeef: You don't want this as an alarm clock. I use SbS 24/7 and have alarms set to playlists and they often work. But for an alarm clock, often isn't sufficient. I've found that any hiccup, glitch, momentary loss of network availability can either reset the alarm so that it doesn't sound or trigger the alarm at some random time. (Oh, what fun to wake up at 4:15 a.m., or to come home to a blaring and endlessly looping guitar riff.) The Squeezebox Radio is a knock-off of Roku's fantastic but discontinued Soundbridge Radio, rock solid and absolutely reliable, except that its Pacific Rim manufacturer unfortunately used a capacitor under Roku's spec, shortening each unit's life. If you can find a repaired model, can repair one yourself, or don't mind paying a nearby electronics shop a bit to do the work, I think it will do exactly what you want; I highly recommend it. A few well-aimed Google searches will bring you up to speed; you might want to check out its user manual as well (also via Google search) to make sure it isn't missing any features you'll need. -- Bob S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update

I've set every esoteric upgrade parameter on the server admin screens to NOT be automatic, so maybe that's why it's asking permission first. Maybe you missed one of these settings... Thanks for the info. Does this include SBS only or your devices as well? SBS doesn't try to force me to upgrade; only the Radios and Controllers lock me into those screens with no way to get out. -- Bob S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] dropping connection after firmware update
Many of the people in this thread seem to be using mysqueezebox.com. Yesterday my Squeezebox Server (running on a Tiger Mac Pro), two Radios, and two Remotes were all force-upgraded to 7.5.0. Today the two Radios have frequently stopped while playing songs from my iTunes library. Why are upgrades forced in the first place? I miss my old Roku Soundbridges more and more every day. -- Bob S.

Perhaps there is a connectivity issue to the servers that I am not seeing from here at Logitech. Some people are using Slacker. What service(s) or radio stations are the rest of you using? This same behavior could come from connectivity problems to our server, or to the music services' servers. Thanks for any info! No. I do not use mysqueezebox.com. I get long, unreadable error messages (the overlay window is far, far too small to display more than the first few characters of some URL the Radio is trying to show).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How do I control the SBR with the Web interface?
Thanks to all for the additional feedback. I did actually try running a copy of the server on this laptop, but, confirming garym's comments, it's problematic because there's a different iTunes library on it. (And while I could connect to the proper iTunes library over my LAN, I just feel like there are too many variables there; I'm fine with the regular Web remote created by the desktop's server.) Again, I appreciate all the kind help! -- Bob S.

[SlimDevices: Radio] How do I control the SBR with the Web interface?
Hi all -- I'm listening to my iTunes library via SqueezeServer and would like to adjust the volume occasionally, skip a song, etc. But when I load the web interface remote control, it doesn't offer my Radio -- the dropdown menu is empty.

Is there a way to listen to my iTunes library from my desktop while connecting the Radio to mySqueezeBox.com?
