Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio would not connect to LMS 8: "Update required"

2020-05-16 Thread Mark Miksis


I am currently running LMS 8.0 with multiple squeezeboxes including a
few (already patched) Radios.  I will soon be acquiring another Radio
which is being retired by a friend.  This Radio will not have the patch
installed and my not even have the latest firmware.  Do I need to
downgrade to 7.9 before connecting this Radio, or will I be able to
install the latest firmware and the patch while running the latest 8.0?

Since you run LMS, I would check the logs.  You may want to enable some
of the player logging options.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox

2011-05-09 Thread Mark Miksis

This is pretty cool.  I missed the original announcement, but tested
this a bit last night.  As an NPR listener, most of what I would want
to listen to delayed already have podcasts.  For the few that don't,
this is a nice solution.

I noticed that when recordings complete, it takes a few hours of
"processing" before they are available for listening.  This seems like
a long time.

How do you make sure the program listings are up to date?  Is there
something automated?

Radio probably only allows 0 through F if he's using WEP.  I wouldn't
be surprised if the router allows lower case entries but Radio only
allows upper case.  In this case, it's not case sensitive.

I regularly sync multiple players, including 2 radios, and have not seen

Something else is wrong with your setup.

Please provide more details such as versions of both SBS and player

Note also that the Radio will respond to the Play button even when off.
So you can restart the stream with a single press - but of the Play
button, not the Power button.

The beta program and it's associated NDAs ended long ago.  IMO, there's

Rules and decorum are not the same thing.  AFAIK, rants and other
negative posts have never been removed or edited unless they contained
profanity or personal attacks.  As someone who has been here a long
time because I like the products and enjoy helping others, here's how I
see it:

Over time, the volume of rants has increased here.  And many of those
complaints are valid, but not expressed in a constructive manner. 
Personally, I tend to skip over those messages (and future messages by
the same author) quite quickly.  I suspect others do the same.

So, if an angry rant makes you feel better, go for it.  Just do it with
the knowledge that a calmly worded description of your problem is more
likely to elicit helpful responses.

There are times when the distinction between "idle" and "off" state is a

I am no longer with Logitech so I don't know for sure.  My
understanding is that there's only enough space for 2 images.  The
purpose is simply to be able to boot into a known working firmware in
the event of a broken one getting out.  From that known working
firmware, you can manually install any other arbitrary rev.

On the SBC, you can revert to the previous working firmware by holding
vol-up during power-on.  I forget how to do this on a Radio.  Maybe
vol-up on an IR remote.  There's also (I think) a front panel button
for this.  Hopefully someone else can recall it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] how do I downgrade ???

2010-04-12 Thread Mark Miksis

There is no way to "downgrade" to an old version of mysqueezebox.com.  I
suggest you try to get used to the new way that presets and favorites
work.  Personally, I don't like it this way either, but it's not that
hard to just assign the same thing to preset 1 and FAV 1, etc - if
that's what you want.

Creating redundant lists is unlikely to generate additional attention

If there really is a new Boom remote that uses the original SB type of

Some users prefer to not run a PC 24/7 for environmental reasons.

Some users (including myself)) have found that after using services
sucha as Pandora, Slacker and Rhapsody for a few months, that they
almost never listen to their personal music libraries anymore.  Of
course, your mileage may vary.
