Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm defaults to DISCO all the time

On mysqueezebox.com, I can set the snooze time and the alarm timeout for alarms. I can also use a playlist (.m3u or .pls) as a favorite. Hence, I can use a playlist as an alarm sound. I cannot find a way to accomplish any of this when using the "Touch Server." I cannot connect to my Squeezebox Touch using a web browser either. So the missing features (above) are not a surprise. Please correct me if any of this is wrong. I don't want to be the bad guy spreading misinformation! -- arnstein arnstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89650 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm defaults to DISCO all the time
Here is my experience with this problem. I hope that this info is useful. I bought a Squeezebox Radio in February of this year. I liked it so much that I bought a Squeezebox Touch later. Everything was working fine, until a few months ago. I experienced the problem documented in this thread. The frequency of this problem increased over a period of months. Presently, I experience the "Disco" problem every day. There was a suggestion in this thread to toggle alarms off and on every evening. This never worked for me. I found that power-cycling every evening did resolve the issue most of the time. What I mean is that I removed the power cord from my Squeeebox Radio and then reconnected it a few seconds later. I don't really care for this solution. For the last week, I have been using the Server that is embedded in my Squeezebox Touch. Logitech refers to this as the "Touch Server." This piece of software takes the place of mysqueezebox.com. My Squeezebox Radio communicates with my Squeezebox Touch instead of the big server at mysqueezebox.com. The "Touch Server" has some significant missing features compared to the big server at mysqueezebox.com. But at least my "Touch Server" is working. How is it going with you guys? Did this problem go away by itself? If Logitech ever fixes this up, I would like to go back to using the big server at mysqueezebox.com. One step that I won't be taking is to file a bugzilla report. I see that several relevant reports have already been filed. They are resolutely ignored. -- arnstein arnstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89650 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

JJZolx;659521 Wrote: > Why wait? Set an alarm for 10 minutes from now and see if it works. Your suggestion is reasonable. My alarm problem is not. :-) If I create a new alarm, it will usually work. Once. In fact, any configuration change is likely to cause alarms to work. Once. Every night, I hard-power-cycle my Squeezebox Radio. That is usually enough to cause alarms to work properly. Once. My alarm problems are also intermittent. I mean, sometimes alarms will work twice, without a power-cycle or configuration change. Occasionally, my alarms will work zero times afterwards. Other posters to the "disco" thread report slightly different results. It's a messy problem. I am going to wait a few days and monitor alarm performance. I would like to add info to the "disco" thread, rather than noise. This will take time. -- arnstein arnstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Use Squeezebox Touch as server?
OK, so now my Squeezebox Radio is telling me that it is using my Squeezebox Touch as a server. I didn't have to configure it in any way. I can't wait to see if alarms start working properly. I will post to the "alarm defaults to DISCO all the time" thread after I accumulate some information. -- arnstein arnstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Use Squeezebox Touch as server?
I have a Squeezebox Radio and a Squeezebox Touch. I keep both connected to internet 24/7. I use alarms on the Radio and these are not working very well. I am at the point of trying things at random. Can I use my Squeezebox Touch as a server to my Squeezebox Radio? I would like to reduce dependency on mysqueezebox.com. I cannot find menu items on either machine that would allow me to do this. I have activated the server feature of my Squeezebox Touch. Maybe this feature is a different kind of server from the "Squeezebox Server Software" that can be downloaded from mysqueezebox.com? I have the two machines synced to each other so they definitely can communicate. Does the client/server relationship require that I activate uPnP on my wireless router? I have this router feature turned off right now (it is a security risk). Thanks for any suggestions. -- arnstein arnstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm defaults to DISCO all the time
I have been affected by this issue for months. It has been getting worse. Recently, I have been getting the backup alarm sound almost every morning. The work-around suggested by bluegaspode does not work for me. I have been power-cycling my Squeezebox Radio every evening. This seems to get my preferred alarm sound to work, but I have not tested this enough to know if it is a reliable work-around. My Squeezebox Radio software is up to date, according to its Settings/Advanced/... menu. Is Logitech working on a solution? Would anything be accomplished if I complain? If so, what is the most effective way to complain? -- arnstein arnstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89650 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
