Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Force "Choose Network" at hard power-on?
Thanks for the observation about the battery. Now I don't feel so bad not being able to get one! The network is encrypted, but i configured the SB with the password. However, it's a "hidden" network, in that it doesn't broadcast it's SSID (so that is also configured in the SB network settings). It does display the network name along with other networks even after a hard power-off, so it's clearly remembering that information, but just not using it after a power cycle. I'll clarify the behaviour. After a soft power-off/on, it *does* remember the last network and begins playing when the "Play" button is pressed. After a hard power-off/on, it's "stuck" in the home menu with "Now Playing" highlighted, but pressing the big dial, or the play button, or any of the presets just results in a "beep" and the menu remaining at the same place. The only thing I can do is navigate to Settings / Advanced / Networking and then reselecting the network name. -- HowardK HowardK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86274 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

It does log on to the same network after a *soft* power-off and on (using the power button), but always prompts to "Choose Network" after a *hard* power-off (equivalent to unplugging it). Oh, and I did consider getting a batter, but apparently they're not available anytime soon. -- HowardK HowardK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86274 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Force "Choose Network" at hard power-on?
I just purchased an SBR for my elderly parents, hoping it would provide a "fool-proof" listening experience. My initial impressions, and comments in this forum, have me wondering. But if I can solve this one problem, I think it could work for them. The SB is plugged into a wall socket controlled by a wall switch. In fact *all* sockets in that room are controlled by the switch... go figure! So the room lights, along with the radio, are powered off regularly. It's impractical to run an extension cord from a non-switched outlet. When powered on again, the SB requires navigating the menus to "Choose Network" among theirs and several others it's picking up in the neighborhood. It's also impractical to run a (very) long network cable for a hard-wired connection. So, is there a way to force the choice of a specific wireless network at hard power-on and avoid navigating the menus? I should note that I'm computer-savy, so using something like remote log-in is fine as long as it provides a permanent solution to the problem. -- HowardK HowardK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86274 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
