Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Best alarm clock ever!!!
The alarm code has not been touched since before the Boom was released despite having several outstanding bugs against it. My Boom and SB3 alarms have failed recently for three reasons: 1) The alarm code does not handle the new BBC iPlayer playlists 2) There is a bug in the way it lists favourites 3) Power cut leading to router failure (back up alarm failed despite power recovery). The alarm functionality needs work. If the originator of the current code can't continue with it Logitec should find (and pay) someone else to update it. Goodsounds. The Boom was sold as a bedside radio/alarm/hifi (amongst other things). The Radio is aimed directly at bedside use. For these devices a reliable alarm is definitely "a core function".

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Improve default "Now Playing" layout
I like the iPeng approaxh where SOME OF THE the controls or other extraneous information only show up if you tap the screen (or vice versa). Theis way you can choose via a tap to have plain unobscured album art of have it overlaid with control/extra information. Chopped album art is bad whichever way you look at it... as is a bedside alarm/radio where you can't read the time from more than a few inches away. I think need a MusicInfo screensaver for the Radio/Touch (and I'd also really like to see visualisations too). Signing up for the bug in my signature so the developers can use the existing code without fear of being hung, drawn and quartered is quite important.

I'm sure it's the majority case. You're probably not aware but the Boom had a similar problem when it was being developed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Does this new model have a auto-sleep button?
Being the proud owner of two Radios, a Boom, a Touch etc etc I can authoritatively assert that the snooze button on the radio is absolutely fine. It is simple to reach out and hit the big knob with eyes entirely closed and brain hardly functioning. The little Radio is so solid and heavy and has such good rubber feet that it does not move at all when I do this (let alone threaten to fall off my bedside table). In fact, I think I prefer it to the sleep button on my Boom. The Boom in the main bedroom has now been surplanted by the Radio and moved downstairs to the kitchen where, in it's turn it has replaced the bulky Classic, amp and speakers. Another very good thing with the radio is that the headphone socket is on the side of the device (not in a very-hard-to-get-to recess at the back as it was on the Boom). The addition of a dedicated volume button is also very welcome. All in all, it's a very solid device and a steal at the price (even in the UK).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Auto dimming changed and too dim

The screen is right in front of my eyes. I have now factory reset it with no change, and tried holding my whole forearm over the top of the radio, again with no change. I have also fiddled a fair bit with the brightness setting, reaching the conclusion that choosing "Automatic" renders the Brightness slider ineffectual. I can see that the brightness of the display does vary with ambient light and that it varies in a jerky fashion. Curiously when the room is dark the display can get darker when I activate my iPhone display! Now I am worried that there is a hardware fault and that I should return it before the 30 days I up. FYI I remember that while the Boom was being developed I had a similar problem with the display. In the end I tracked it down the light sensor reading the light reflection of the Boom's screen from my face and bedclothes and adjusting the brightness upwards! This sensitivity was corrected in software and the Boom screen auto brightness worked perfectly after this. MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important?

There is copycat iPod setting that will play all tracks in an album when you select to play any one track. I think this is default behaviour (might be wrong).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Disappointed by Boom to Radio switch
I have to agree about the backlit buttons, a real mistake for an alarm/radio box. The alarm/sleep/snooze implementation is also poor, horribly fiddly, misleading and badly thought out. On the plus side though the screen is superb and the seperate volume and nagigation knob an obvious advantage over the Booms hacked single-knob implementation. However, the reason I've given up using my radio as my bedroom alarm clock and stuck the too-large Boom back on my small bedside table is that the radio screen is too bright to sleep next too and (unlike the Boom) it is not possible to reduce its minimum brightness. It's a real shame, the Radio is so nearly brilliant, but for me the stupid (and totally unnecessary) flaws make it impractical for use. I have trouble understanding how it could have been released with what appear to be very damaging but easily solvable software flaws (backlit buttons excepting, obviously). There must something quite awry with Logitech management that really needs sorting out if this product line is to continue with any success. While I'm here, the Facebook stuff (app.. ha ha ha) is just plain stupid. Whichever Logitech manager was responsable for that should be taken outside and shot.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Minimal Brightness (Auto) - doesn't work well for me
I'm beginning to think that my Radio needs returning but would like to check with others before I do this. Despite the introduction (possible in beta software only) of the new brightness setting "Minimal Brightness (Auto)" my Radio display still will not go dim enough for comfortable sleep. This is especially true of the clock screensaver when the radio is in the "off" state. I have noticed that (on my radio) the Minimal Brightness slider has no noticeable effect on the bottom 20% of it's travel, i.e. the minimum possible brighness is arrived at when the slider is still one fifth of the way from full minimum. Is this the way it is on every radio? In addition I've sometimes had the brightness fluctuate wildly when the ambient room brightness has changed... I don't want to return it. It's hassle and cost for me, but the brightness and flaky alarm make the device unfit for the purpose I bought it for. Any comments welcome.

Erland's custom clock plugin is really great. It's a crying shame that Logitech have not nurtured the third party developers and that as a result he seems to lack the enthusiasm for further development. It a big mistake on Logitech's part, especially considering that they seem to make so many elemental mistakes (in this case such as time not readable on Now Playing screen and the general lack of a reasonable clock) which third party developers could ameliorate. Anyway, copying the red text clock and changing the text colour to dark grey has sorted out my nightime clock problem nicely. It is a much better laid out clock than Logitech's too. Once I have figured out how to make a different custom clock for each of the three player states I'll tackle the Now Playing screen saver so I can have readable time on it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm completely stopped working
I don't suppose you are on 7.5? For me the alarm on (my regularly updated) 7.5 has become a bit of a pain. It doesn't really do anything I expect it to. Small and quick catalogue: * Unintuitive usage * Alarms are different (not synched) on SBS and MSB * Updating alarm days is not reflected when you back out of the menu * Alarm wakes me up with wrong playlist and then it's painful to get the right playlist to play * I have to open my eyes and focus to operate it once it's gone off. Sleep is also flaky. There is no confirmation when you set sleep to (say) thirty minutes so you're never sure whether the setting has been accepted it or not. As it stands at this moment with 7.5 the radio is not really up to performing some of it's primary functions. But as it is beta software I live in hope that it is being improved.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Dimming Dilemma
I think you might be experiencing the same thing I did. I got around the issue by using the third party Custom Clock applet (thanks Erland). I took the standard digital clock with black background that comes with Erland's applet and then set the letters/numbers to be dark grey. This had the effect of making the clock screensaver quite a lot darker. This could work for you as you will then be able to turn the overall minimum brightness up so the navigate screens are bright enough but the clock screensaver not too bright. Erland digital clock is much better laid out than the Logitech offering too. I am glad I am not alone with this problem. Up till now I thought I was.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio alarm: If two set the second turns off the radio (7.5)
I'm running 7.5 (which I believe might be getting close to release) and repeatedly suffer from this problem with the alarm. I've not seen anyone else report it so wonder if I am alone. I have two alarms set in the morning. One fires at 6.30am (and has a one hour time out set), the other fires at 7.20am. If I use the left arrow to back out of the first alarm after it fires, leaving the radio alarm playlist running when the second alarm fires it turns off the stream, leaving me with silence. This is not what I'd expect. I'd expect the second alarm to turn off the playlist fired by the first alarm and then fade the same playlist back in (as both alarms are set to the same playlist). I don't think it has any bearing but I'm using an BBC iPlayer live stream favourite as my alarm. I'm eager that this bug (if it is a bug) is not included in the full 7.5 release.

A Touch with speakers would make much more sense than the Touch, but personally I would be happier with a radio type screen. I wouldn't use the proposed device next to my bed as an alarm radio thingy (the radio is adequate for that, and a better size), and probably use it in my garage, studio or kitchen, in which case I'd tend to use iPeng to control it for all but the most instantly required actions (like turning the volume down/up). Also, a radio type screen would make the device cheaper. So for me, the radio type screen. I imagine Logitech would probably make it with a touch screen... but then the device might work out a more expensive than they'd be comfortable with. Upon reflection all I'd really need on a new Boom box with be a nice big (non-touch) colour screen and a big volume knob.. perhaps a power button too. :-) MC -- ModelCitizen Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known Last.fm/user/ModelCitizen ModelCitizen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81782 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

It's your lovely management that are responsible for this mess. Who do you think made the decision to tie the radio and touch so heavily into MySB, against all the protestations of the beta testers (and you can bet against the advice of the developers)? Get real. You are slagging of all the people who saw this happening. Logitech bought the wrong product. They tried to do the equivalent of converting a single seater, fair weather fighter into heavy duty, atom bomber. And when it (unsurprisingly) crashed, walked away denying responsibility and instead concentrated on developing Google TV. I should do what I have done, make the best of a bad job (my system, using only SBS works well for music... I use my iPhone for an alarm, much more reliable) and promise yourself never to buy another Logitech product oh, and give up on these forums too.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio alarm gone odd after years of working OK
I've been using the radio since I first received one for the beta program. I run it wireless on a local SqueezeCenter (7.51, r9218). The system has not been fiddled with orvipgraded for ages (i.e. The new problem is not due to environment change). My alarm fires up BBC Radio 4 (current playlist). I have an alarms set for 6.30am and 7.20am. The alarm works mostly OK. The few problems I've experienced have usually been down to internet connectivity and the server PC going to sleep. However the last two days the alarm has performed oddly and as a result my day has started badly. The 6.30am alarm fired normally and Radio 4 came on but after a minute or so of relaxed listening the extremely irritating and VERY LOUD built in fallback alarm loop started playing. Stopping it only seemed possible by hitting the radio's power button. Two questions: 1) Any ideas why this might be happening? 2) How can I replace the unbuilt fallback loop with something more appropriate for use as an alarm? I can probably remember how to access the radio file system if I give it some thought. I'd like to replace the sound permanently if at all possible. An aside. I'd like to take whoever was responsible for the fallback alarm sound outside and shoot them or on second thoughts do much, much worse things to them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio alarm gone odd after years of working OK
Cheers. I am using Triodes iPlayer applet for the BBC streams and up until yesterday it was fine. Today and yesterday I got the exact same problem. Alarm started, played for a few seconds correctly and then fallback alarm thumped in. It looks very much like what wonder boy experienced in post 2: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=588536&postcount=2 I've looked at the radio logs, messages (90kb), and messages.0 (200kb) but both logs only cover about five minutes from around 1pm today (i.e. a long time after the alarm went off!). I've rebooted my SC and radio and am hoping that this will see the end of the problem. If I get it tomorrow I'll jump out of bed (gasp!) and save the log. -- ModelCitizen Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known Last.fm/user/ModelCitizen ModelCitizen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83902 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB Radio as an Alarm - have I wasted my money?
Wired and local server should be pretty reliable. My alarm has only failed completely two or three times in the near two years I've been using the radio and then the problem was due to a power cut in the night (which took down my server). I have heard the unbelievably loud and annoying backup alarm sound many more times than I would have liked to though.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB Radio as an Alarm - have I wasted my money?
I'd really appreciate an applet like this. I am not able to describe how much I have come to hate that default backup alarm sound. I created a loop of the guitar riff intro of Norman Greenbaum's spirit in the sky for my mobile. It works perfectly on the phone but when I used it to replace the loop on my Radio it did not loop correctly but faded in at our at each loop point. I imagine that the recent firmware upgrade has deleted it now.

[SlimDevices: Radio] How to change wireless password in Radio (and Touch)?
An elementary newbie type question for which I will kick myself when the answer is supplied as it's certain I missing something entirely obvious. I've had to change the password of my home wireless network. It's been a simple affair to change the password in all my wireless devices except the Touch and the Radio. I just can't figure out how to do it. The devices seem only to be able to attempt to connect using my old password, which of course fails. Can someone point me in the right direction? How do I get to networking set up (other than by Settings/Advanced/Networking)? I've tried wiring the radio and updating the firmware (although my firmware is current for my SBS version) to no avail. I am running 7.5.2 (as 7.5.3 causes connectivity issues) on a wireless network using "WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key)" security. I do not want to factory reset either device (although it doesn't seem credible that I'd need to).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to change wireless password in Radio (and Touch)?
Ha ha ha. That's it. The simple trick is to try twice... Almost. The Touch connected OK but after entering the password the Radio appeared to connect but immediately locked up so badly I had to take the battery out to recover it. Once I'd done that it worked. Hopefully I'll not ever have to change anything again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SORRY! Squeezebox Radio .. Alarm and Headphones
