Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Sync is very slightly off.
Conflakeguy, read the following error cases carefully. I can't say that sync is flawless, but when it is working (99% of the time), I can't spot any timing difference between my players. The 1% is below .. Ikabob, Matt, I also see occasionally sync. issues, which are normally provoked by some other event and then leave one or more players off by between 0.5 and 2 seconds. The player then stays that way, even if stopped started, etc. but will re-sync perfectly when power-cycled (via mains for SB3,Boom and SBR, the Radio via press and hold standby). Cross-fade is always set to 'none'. For me, the problem was most noticeable on 7.3.3 and I suspect was aligned to the rebuffering problem (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13092) which was reduced by upgrading router firmware and almost eliminated by using Homeplugs instead of wi-fi. With 7.4 production, I have mothablled an SBR (and iHome clock radio) and replaced with a Radio, which is currently running wireless (in anticipation of battery and mobility). When I then use SqueezePlay Beta, I have problems connecting to my library (some days fine, others awful). Whilst Squeezeplay is trying to connect the existing sync'd streams stutter (as they do when a new player is added). Just tried to replicate using Squeezeplay to provoke but it wouldn't find server and sync was undamaged, will try again tomorrow. I concur with Matt, in post #15, somehow a player (or more than one) gets into a state where it is out of sync and is only reset by power-cycling.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Sync is very slightly off.
thanks aubuti - beat me to expanding 'power cycling'. Worth noting that 'standby' mode does NOT have the same impac to sync. general - my sync. issues have been whilst streaming FLAC from SBS to multiple players. I haven't in the past tended to listen to many radio stations but have recently started listening more to last.fm and BBC radio 6. Haven't had any sync. occurences when listening to either.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Help: Quick Scroll through long artist list?
on the SB3 and Boom, the original IR remote allowed the number buttons to be pressed to jump to letters, i.e. pressing 5 twice took you to 'K'. This functionality is not present on the Radio and instead the numeric buttons act in the same way as the presets. Would it be possible to make this an option:- 1. Numeric Remote Buttons always act as presets for Radio and Boom 2. Numeric Remote Buttons always act as 'jump to letter' 3. Numeric Remote Buttons are context sensitive Option 3 should mean working as option 2 if scrolling a list and as option 1 elsewhere. Option 2 means there is no functionality to the numeric remote buttons unless you are in a list (which I think is the standard SB3 functionality). -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Help: Quick Scroll through long artist list?
7.5 still works that way, with IR and SB3:- 1A. press numeric in menu - jump to that option number (i.e. '3' in home menu jumps to 3 of 9 - Internet Radio, in my case) 1B. press numeric in list - jump to that letter (i.e. '3' cycles through D,E,F) 2. press and hold numeric - replace playlist with preset 3. press,hold and keep holding numeric - set preset to current menu selection (presumably only if it is a playable item). Option 3 doesn't seem to work well, i.e. the press part of P,H&K moves you in the menu and therefore you don't save the item you originally selected!! Never used on previous releases, so not sure if this is a new problem, but it exists in 7.4.1 and 7.5. However, if you point the IR at the SB Radio then the top functionality is gone and you only have preset functionality. Personally I never used presets with SB3 or Boom but can see the value (especially with Radio), I think having to use the physical buttons on Radio and Boom to set the preset would be fine (and overcomes the above difficulty). Leaving presets as is on SB3 is okay by me, assuming those that use it will know and raise the problem I have mentioned. Therefore having the following options for SqueezePlay would enable IR users to choose to have consistent operation between SB3 and Radio/Touch. I don't think option 1 need be 'ported' back to SB3. Option (1) "numerics = preset" Default Press Numeric = Jump to Preset Press and Hold Numeric = Set Preset Option (2) "numerics = navigate" Press Numeric = Navigate (context specific) Press and Hold Numeric = Jump to Preset if available. Press, Hold and Keep Holding = Set preset Configuring each numeric separately doesn't seem correct but would fit with the 7.5 'shortcuts' beta option. I'll raise this as an enhancement and see what Tom makes of it (and carve out from https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14990 which I raised yesterday). -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Auto dimming changed and too dim
Recently, and possibly around the time of 7.4.1, the auto-dimming of my Radio permanently makes the display very dim (i.e. for the darkest room). Tried switching between auto and manual control with no joy. Just did a hold + power cycle to reset to factory defaults and its now behaving, so I'm happy but curious. Any idea what could have caused this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Can you use your own Backgrounds, Yes you can.
or simply use the web-ui to SBS and add the "customise controller" plug-in. then, still within web-ui, you can use Advanced/Customise Controller and browse to your wallpapers This works with controller and radio on 7.4.1 and looks configured to work with Touch. not sure what impact MySB.com has on this. I think that the plug-in name is not obvious for Radio owners that didn't previously do this on a controller!!!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stream from the Squeezebox radio to the Squeezebox receiver
since the receiver is 'dumb' you need to use another control device to program the alarms into the server. This could be a controller (bundled with receiver as 'duet'), the web GUI,SB Radio, SB touch or iPeng. You'd need a controller or Touch to configure a receiver, or use the Net:UDAP function (search for this as I'm not familiar). -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4.1 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72519 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Simple setup - Loud burst before fade in
I'm also running SBS on an always on WHS. with latest nightly builds, so server availability can't be my cause - all wired via homeplugs. Two days ago, alarm starts with loud burst. This morning, first alarm (just added) fades up nicely but then second alarm starts with loud burst -original stream was still playing up to that point. I've looked at both alarms and they are the same except the new one is everyday and the original is set Mon to Fri only.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] 2 SB radios stutter when sync`d
this is probably a local issue - I stream sync'd to 4/5 players consistently from WHS - so the system works. I have seen stuttering in the past and the following changes have eliminated it:- 1) moved from wifi to Homeplug (though Boom remians wireless and doesn't affect performance 2) upgraded (and then replaced) router 3) upgraded memory in WHS box (the original HP MediaSmarts have just enough memory to run WHS but not an extra services). High signal strength doesn't guarantee good bandwidth - if a nearby channel also has high strength, it can 'interefere'. Try 'netstumbler' to see what is heppening in your wifi neighbourhood or temporarily wire both Radios (if they work okay wired then you have your culprit). -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio and 1 * Touch controlled by IR, SBC [and iPeng on iPhone - wifi died!!] 7.5.0 on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) upgraded to 2G RAM http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77819 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Not sure if your *it* is the Radio or DHCP server/router, Either way what is the restriction on temporary turning *it* off? You don't need to turn DHCP off, but some device (p/c or laptop) needs to be temporarily disconnected from the network so it can configure the Radio, then both can be connected back to the network. Any 'dynamic' devices will still be allocated addresses by the DHCP server but the Radio IP address will hold in absence of the router. You will need to ensure that the static IP, which you have chosen, is outside the 'IP pool' which the DHCP server uses. This will prevent the DHCP server allocating that IP to any other devices and causing IP conflicts. You can do this either by choosing a completely different set of addresses (e.g. 192.168.*2*.XX if the router is 192.168.*1*.xx) or editing the DHCP server to start giving out addresses from a higher number (xx.xx.xx.10 leaving xx.xx.xx.2 - 9 'clear' for you to use). AFAIK, there is no easy way to configure between dynamic/static on the fly. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio and 1 * Touch controlled by IR, SBC [and iPeng on iPhone - wifi died!!] 7.5.0 on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) upgraded to 2G RAM http://www.last.fm/user/digimich DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
