[SlimDevices: Radio] SB Radio turning on by itself?

2020-08-06 Thread aubuti


For the past couple years my SB Radio has been occasionally turning
itself on and playing without any intervention from me. It happens maybe
once every 2-3 months, at random times of day or night. It started up
when I was temporarily living in a condo complex, and I'm hoping that
the cause was stray infrared signals from a neighboring condo, although
that's just a hope without any evidence to back it up.

Has anyone else had this experience? Or any ideas on alternative causes
(eg, something with the server, something in the Radio's firmware,
whatever)? 

Fwiw, a few weeks ago I moved back to a single-family house, presumably
further out of range of neighbors' IR remotes, and also upgraded my LMS
to 8.0 nightly. So far it hasn't mysteriously turned on, but a few weeks
is too soon to declare victory.

Press and hold the on/off button for around 2 seconds to turn the Radio
completely off. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Radio has to be in
standby for it to be able to trigger any alarms you may have set, so
this solution could be a one-step-forward-two-steps-back for some users.

It's in the filesystem on the Radio itself, and I think the file is

To copy it you need to enable remote login on the radio, then login with
ssh, WinSCP, or some similar software, and copy the file to where you

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Voume adjustment in Settings -Audio

2013-06-18 Thread aubuti

I'll check when I get home and look at my SBC and my Radio, but I still
think you're confusing the Replay Gain settings with the volume lock
settings. They are not the same thing at all. And if you're not locking
the Receiver's volume at 100% in LMS then you are almost certainly doing
it in www.mysqueezebox.com (or maybe both places). 

Use the Controller to set your Receiver to No Volume Adjustment. Then
login to www.mysqueezebox.com and select the Players tab, then select
your Receiver on the left and the Audio tab. I'll betcha that your
setting for the Receiver is Output level is fixed at 100%. 

Now select your Radio on the left, and you'll see there isn't any Audio
tab at all. That's because the newer fat devices (Radio and Touch) can
manage those settings on the player themselves. And for the Radio, it
just doesn't make any sense to lock the volume at 100%. Who would want
the volume at 100% with no way to turn it down via a remote control or
the knob on the front? That is why the Boom also does not have the
volume lock setting, even though it is a slim device.  It's not a design
error, but rather tailoring the options for what the player does.

I'm not 100% sure, but there may be an interaction between the replay
gain settings and the volume lock settings, because if volume is locked
at 100% and replay gain is enabled and you get +db then bad things can
happen. So maybe when you use the Controller to switch the replay gain
for the Receiver to something other than No Volume Adjustment it
un-does your volume lock setting, and then re-enables the volume lock
when you turn replay gain settings off. That is easy enough for you to
test.

I am reasonably sure that the No Volume Adjustment (ie, replay gain)
on your Radio does indeed do something, or at least is capable of doing
something, depending on the source material. It certainly does something
on my Radio. Specifically, it tells the Radio to ignore replay gain tags
in the music files it plays. And anything you listen to on
mysqueezebox.com is highly unlikely to have replay gain tags. So, it
does nothing in the sense that it tells the Radio to ignore something
that isn't there. But feed the Radio some music with some large-ish
replay gain values in the tags and switch between No Volume Adjustment
and Track Gain and you'll hear that it does indeed do something.

Finally, as for not wanting to adjust levels in the digital domain, it
is good to know that the Receiver and Radio output 24 bits, so if it is
regular 16-bit material you're listening to then reducing the digital
volume merely shaves off the padding zeroes that are filling out the
last 8 bits. So on 16-bit material you can decrease the digital volume
to 80% or even below without doing any damage to the signal. But if
despite that you still just don't want to adjust levels in the digital
domain, that's your business and your right.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Voume adjustment in Settings -Audio

2013-06-17 Thread aubuti

Do you mean the setting under (via the web ui) Settings  Player tab 
Audio  Volume Adjustment/Replay Gain?  That's the only setting I see
that has a No Volume Adjustment setting. That setting does not lock
the digital volume at 100%. Rather, it controls whether -- and if so,
how -- LMS uses replay gain tags that may be in the file. 

I suspect that your Duet Receiver has Settings  Player tab  Audio 
Volume Control set to Output level is fixed at 100%, because that's
the setting that locks the digital volume. That setting does not exist
for the SB Radio because the Radio is an all-in-one box, for which users
in most settings would not want to disable the volume control. Are you
sending the Radio's signal to a pre-amp or something via the headphone
output? While this is possible, it's not a normal use case.

1) *ls -l* will give you the contents of the current directory
*pwd*  tells you the name of the current directory
*cd [directoryname]*  moves you from the current directory into
[directoryname], one level lower. You can move multiple levels via *cd
dir1/dir2/dir3*
cd ..   moves you up one level to the parent directory of the current
directory

2) I'll leave this to someone else, because if I do the symlink command
ln -s command by memory I get it wrong 25% of the time, and I don't
have a *nix window in front of me to check the help file

3) Assuming you are in the directory containing the firmware file, the
scp command would be *scp baby_7.7.2_r9663.bin
root@Radio-ip-address:/dev* , where you substitute the Radio's real
IP address in place of Radio-ip-address
Or, if you want to work with WinSCP, before trying to connect to the
Radio you need to change the protocol in the WinSCP dialog box. The
default is SFTP, but you want the SCP protocol instead.

You're right that it depends on the speed of the hardware, including the

less than a minute. Certainly nowhere near 30 minutes.

After the command is done, it should come back to the command prompt in

Just on the face of it, I see three things that are likely to be

1) you need a real, existing directory in place of username (i.e., the

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Small Package, Big Sound .. and awful alarm clock

2012-09-27 Thread aubuti

Hmm, these latest posts raise a question about the UE Smart Radio that I
don't think I've seen discussed so far. There is fairly widespread
agreement that the SB Radio's design to require a server connection to
trigger the alarm was a bad idea. Even the old SB Radio has enough
smarts to do that on its own. Does the new UE Radio do any better on
this score, ie, did they learn from their mistake on the SB Radio? Given
the internet-centric approach of the UE Radio I would suspect not.

And the obvious subsidiary question: if the main alarm fails, is the
fallback alarm -still- Fa Fa Fa by Datarock?

Maybe I'm confusing it with one of the other services, but doesn't
Pandora work on Squeezeplay if you have a paid subscription (Pandora

If so, I think the reasoning is simple, and I imagine it was an
agreement between Slim Devices and Pandora that carried over to the
Logitech days. Basically they want someone to get some revenue, such as
(a) Slim Devices / Logitech from hardware sales, (b) Pandora from
Pandora One subscriptions, or (c) make the user listen via the Pandora
web site and be exposed to visual ads, for which Pandora receives money.
Now that Pandora has audio commercials/ads between tracks, it would seem
that Logitech and Pandora could loosen things up, but probably no one

Absolutely true that Favorites are no good if you're too far away to

But you can do more than on/off and volume up/down when you can't read

 Questions:

 I want to get rid of that annyoing bug.  Thanks
As noted several times previously, changing or deleting the MP3 file for
the fallback will do absolutely nothing to make the Radio play the
intended alarm more reliably. Some people talk about the alarm problem
(ie, the regular alarm not firing, not the choice of the fallback alarm
music) as if it is completely broken, when in fact it works just fine
for a large share of users (including me). So the first-best option is
to fix whatever it is in your setup that is preventing the selected
alarm from firing.

That said, the answers are:

1) if the regular alarm triggers, then you will get the regular alarm.
If it doesn't trigger and instead goes to the fallback alarm that has
been deleted, there will be no alarm. Sounds extremely risky to me. 

2) if you run LMS, install the older version of the LMS software that
corresponds to the firmware you want. All old versions of the server
software are available at downloads.slimdevices.com. When you install
the older LMS software you should be prompted to upgrade/update the
Radio firmware, when in fact you will be rolling it back to a previous
version. If you depend on mysqueezebox.com, then there is no way to
rollback the firmware and keep it rolled back.

you can at least reorder them so that similar stations are together.

rougepierre wrote: 
 Yes I am running windows 7 64 bit. I have talked with Dlink and the
 modem checks out fine. All my internet radio stations play fine except
 when called upon as an alarm. The radio times out then defaults to Fa Fa
 Fa by Datarock ( Disco Bug)
 
 GI don't have any of my SBs or WinSCP in front of me, so this will be
lacking in some details. Moreover, I wrote it up once and managed to
have it disappear in the forums editor, so as I write it a second time
it will be briefer

1. download and install WinSCP on your pc. It is like Windows Explorer,
except it has two sides: one is for the local computer (your pc) and the
other is for the remote computer, which in this case is your SB Radio.
Read the fine documentation on the site. 

2. enable remote login on the SB Radio. Use the controls on the Radio
itself to go to Settings  Advanced  Remote login and be sure the tick
box is selected. Also note the IP address of your SB Radio (the IP
address for the Radio, not the computer running LMS or your pc). Note
that the username is root and the password is 1234 (without the
quotation marks/inverted commas).

3. identify an MP3 audio file that you would like to be the fallback
alarm instead of Fa Fa Fa. It should be no larger than the Fa Fa Fa
file, which is around 300 KB. Copy it to a known folder on your pc and
rename it alarm.mp3.

4. open WinSCP and fill in the information needed to connect to your
Radio (IP address, username, password) in the various boxes. Then click
whatever button is needed to connect to your Radio. The WinSCP I have
routinely gives 1 or 2 error messages when trying to connect, but I am
always able to click OK and it proceeds to connect.

5. on the local side of the window (usually the left, I think),
navigate to the folder where you saved your alternative fallback alarm
file in step #3. On the remote side of the window (usually the right),
navigate to /usr/share/jive/applets/AlarmSnooze/. Then drag the
alarm.mp3 file from the pc side to the Radio side. You will be prompted
to overwrite the existing file -- say Yes.

6. disconnect from the Radio and test out your new fallback alarm

7. If/when your SB Radio gets firmware updates in the future, Fa Fa Fa
may be reinstalled on the Radio. If this happens, repeat steps 4-6
above.

Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Backup

2012-07-12 Thread aubuti

The Favorites are not sync'd between Logitech Media Server (LMS) and
mysqueezebox.com, no matter what the mysqueezebox.com Integration
setting is. Access from one to the other is asymmetric. 

1) If you save a Favorite while connected to LMS, then it is stored on
LMS and invisible to mysb.com

2) If you save a Favorite while connected to mysb.com, it is saved on
mysb.com. It is also visible to LMS and accessible via LMS by using the
Favorites on mysqueezebox.com link at the bottom of your list of LMS
favorites.

A few of us have adopted the trick of putting all of our Favorites on
LMS, uploading the favorites.opml file from LMS to a web server, and
then making the URL for that opml file the only Favorite on mysb.com.
That way you can keep LMS and mysb.com in sync more easily, you only
have to remember to upload the fresh favorites.opml file every time you
modify the Favorites in LMS. The SBs themselves can navigate the OPML
file on mysb.com just fine, but the web-based remote control for
mysb.com cannot parse the file correctly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Remote control

2012-06-25 Thread aubuti

If I understand your explanation correctly, the Radio is probably
playing, but you cannot hear it because it is at home and you are at
work. In other words, the mysqueezebox.com remote control is doing just
that: controlling your SB Radio remotely. The mysqueezebox.com remote
control is not a radio player itself, only a control for a hardware
squeezebox.

If you want to listen to all of those stations at your work pc, you
could see about installing Squeezeplay, which is a software player that
emulates the hardware Squeezeboxes, although it doesn't have all of the
features of the hardware SBs (for example, some streaming services don't
work with Squeezeplay). You can download the free Squeezeplay software
from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.7

By allowing you see where you are while continuing to scroll quickly.
That is, you don't need to actually read individual album titles or
artist names. 

Combine this with a good method of fast spinning -- my favorite is a
single index finger on the edge of the Radio's big knob -- and you can
get through a collection pretty fast. And don't forget to go backwards
to get to the second half of the alphabet. That is, get to T via U, not

LMS is Logitech Media Server. It's software that runs on your computer
or NAS (network attached storage) for serving audio to Squeezeboxes.
The biggest difference from mysb.com is that LMS allows you to play
your own music, provided it is on a hard disk available somewhere on
your home network. It also allows you to listen to internet radio
without mysb.com.

And yes, if you take the Radio and go on vacation, but leave the
computer with LMS behind, you won't have access to the stations you
saved on LMS. (Actually you may be able to connect to the LMS computer
remotely over the internet, but that topic is a little too advanced for
this discussion.)

No, that's a common misconception. The NAS or PC would only need to be
running when you want to listen to the radio. Most any pc sold in the
past decade has power management facilities so that you can put it in
suspend or hibernate mode when not in use, and resume quickly when you
need it. The SB can even trigger the wake up call to the pc.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wireless speakers for Squeezebox Radio

2012-01-15 Thread aubuti

Is there a pc in one of the rooms? If so, you could install one of the
software players, such as SqueezePlay, and use the pc like a
Squeezebox. You can sync it to the Radio, although sync'ing with
software players is rarely perfect. If the rooms are far enough apart
then it shouldn't matter, but if you can hear both at the same time
then the sync being off can be really annoying. SqueezePlay is free,
perpetual-beta software from
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.7

If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Android device you may be
able to buy one of the apps that supports SB streaming to those
devices. I'm not sure, but I think the sync'ing is no better, and
probably worse, than the software players like SqueezePlay.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Issue in Squeezebox server version ...

 Sorry to butt in in the middle of your discussion, morpheus, but the
 last couple of hours I've been fighting the same nagging problem.
 
 As I just wrote the helpdesk: it seems as if I’m in some kind of
 loophole. When I try to connect to mysqueezebox.com the thing wants you
 to upgrade to version 7.7.1.  You cannot NOT choose this. When the
 update is completed, when you want to access your music system again
 (in my case a diskstation by Synology), it wants you to “upgrade” to
 version 7.6.1. again. Again, you cannot NOT choose this. It works in
 7.6.1., but the time is off by 20 minutes (in 7.7.1. it’s correct) and
 you can’t access mysqueezebox.com, because when you do, …, well, start
 reading from the top again…
 
 I read your thread. I'm more than happy never to log in to that
 mysqueezebox.com, even though it bothers me.
 
 But I'm kind of annoyed that the clock on version 7.6.1. is off (it's
 20 minutes later than it is), while version 7.7.1. has the correct
 clock, but is utterly useless, since it immediately prompts you to
 downgrade when you try to access the diskstation. To me, there are
 two possible solutions.
 
 1. Find a way to correct the time for version 7.6.1. and never enter
 mysqueezebox.com again.
 2. Find a way for version 7.7.1. to not check for upgrades (or
 downgrades) when you try to access the diskstation.
 
 The latter would be preferable but since I'm not sure how to do that,
 I'm sticking with version 7.6.1., which works properly except for that
 incorrect clock.
 
 What to do?
If your clock is off on 7.6.1 then it's because the clock is off on
your NAS. Fix the time on your NAS's clock, then reboot the SB Radio,
connect it to Squeezebox Server on your NAS and it should pick up the
corrected time.

You can always back out of a prompt for updating the firmware. Press
and hold the back arrow button for a few seconds and it will take you
back from the prompt. If you want to stop getting the prompts entirely
then you should upgrade the server software on your NAS to the current
version, which is 7.7.1. That is what mysqueezebox.com is running.

Wake-on-LAN also works from a complete shutdown, because the network

Of course, it will take a lot longer to be ready from a complete

The Radio -- or more accurately, the server software -- doesn't go out
and look for cover art. You have to have it in your music library. It
could either be embedded in the files' tags, or it could be a separate
file. This wiki article may resolve some of the mystery for you:

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Getting there slowly.... two more questions though.

2012-01-05 Thread aubuti

1) It's not a bug, it's a feature. :-) Automatically switching to
mysqueezebox.com would cause at least as many problems as it would
solve. When the pc is off, the Radio doesn't know it's off, it just
knows it can't find it on the network. Some people (mostly people using
wifi) have problems with their Radio disconnecting from the pc for no
apparent reason. Imagine if that aggravation was compounded by the
Radio suddenly deciding to switch to mysqueezebox.com?

Two suggestions for making the switch to mysqueezebox.com easier. One
is to move the Switch to mysqueezebox.com menu item to the Home menu,
so you don't have to burrow down into the obscure location that is the
default. The other is to look into the Server Power Control plugin. It
takes a little effort to set it up, but it can automatically
suspend/hibernate/shutdown your server pc _and_ switch it over to
mysqueezebox.com. You can set it to do this at a particular time of
day, or after X minutes of no activity from the SB.

2) You get a player not found message in LMS if your player is
connected to mysqueezebox.com. That is normal, because a player can
only be connected to one server at a time, either your local LMS or
mysqueezebox.com. Similarly, if your player is connected to LMS and you
go to the mysqueezebox.com page, it will say your player is
disconnected.

Finally, note that you don't need to switch to mysqueezebox.com to play
internet radio. You can get all the services on mysqueezebox.com via
LMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Cover art?

2012-01-05 Thread aubuti

The Radio is capable of displaying two different sizes, even from a
single image file. If you turn the large knob a bit it will switch
between the chopped off version you describe and a smaller image in
which all of the cover art fits on the screen. It takes a little while
to get the hang of just how to turn the knob to trigger the change -- a
simple smooth turn doesn't usually do it for me.

Sorry if these are too obvious (ie, things you have already considered
and discarded as not suitable for your needs), but two
simple-but-guaranteed options are:

1) wire your SB1 and 1.5. If you can't pull ethernet cable easily in
your location, consider homeplugs, which run ethernet over your power
lines.

2) turn off the WEP encryption. WEP is trivial to hack, so it's only
protecting you from the most casual of snoopers.

I can't confirm or reject that, as the only models I don't have are the

compatible. There are other users on the forum who don't seem to be

wired.

Also, I erred in saying that it would have to be the v1 and v1.5 that
would be wired. Of course, you could do it the other way around, and
wire the Radio but keep the older models running on WEP wifi. But I
suppose the Radio probably isn't in a good location for that, either.

If KidsPlay can set the preset button for your preferred length of

you can use SrvrPowerCtrl to shutdown the pc (or suspend it, or

1) mysb.com is used (a) to listen to internet radio an online services

credentials for subscription services between LMS and the services.

2) Just leave your LMS running and your SB won't connect to mysb.com.
And you'll still have complete access to internet radio and all other
online services. LMS and mysb.com pass the credentials in the

1) yes, I'm lazy so I typed mysb.com as shorthand for mysqueezebox.com.
If you were to type it in a web browser you need to use the correct
name: mysqueezebox.com. 

2) LMS is Logitech Media Server. That's the name of the Squeezebox
server software since version 7.7.0. But I guess if you're still
running 7.6.1 then you're still using SBS (Squeezebox Server). Despite
the name differences, it's 98% (roughly) the same software.

3) Connect your Squeezebox to the LMS running on your NAS. Then don't
turn off the NAS, or stop the LMS software from running on it.

I use Greg Brown's SuperDateTime on a Boom and a Radio, and in my

also bluegaspode's Weather Screensafer for the Radio and Touch, which I

There is also Martin Rehfield's WeatherTime plugin, but I am pretty

The big knob does one of those and the volume button does the other, but
I can't remember which is which right now (I used the Radio for my alarm
for about 6 months, but that was a while ago). I *think* the big knob is
snooze, but I'm not at all sure about that.

2) I feel the same way. If you are running a local SBS, you can find an
MP3 of an alarm sound you like, then add it to your music library, make
it a Favorite, and select that as the alarm sound. I ended up
recording the old travel alarm I've used for 20 years. If you're
depending on mysb.com, then you don't have so many choices.

3) I use the SuperDateTime applet (it also does weather), which you
need to combine with Erland's Custom Clock or something. There is also
bluegaspode's WeatherForecast applet.

can buy one directly from Logitech:
http://buy.logitech.com/store/logib2c/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryid.28766300

If it's not available from Logitech in your country, then you can use a
generic power supply, so long as it matches the voltage, amperage,
polarity, and connector type of the original.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] where's the random buttom?

2011-09-16 Thread aubuti

Well, the easiest is to use Settings  Shuffle on the Radio's menu.
There are also better solutions, such as the standard Random Mix plugin
(be sure it's activated on your SBS), plus Erland's plugins such as
SQLPlaylist, DynamicPlaylist, TrackStat, and so forth.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Some folders under My Music show empty via SB Radio

2011-09-05 Thread aubuti

First, you really should upgrade to 7.6.1. Second, are you doing a
rescan after you add the new albums. Third, it could be a permissions
issue. What OS is your server running, and is the library on an
internal drive, an external drive (eg, USB), or a network drive (NAS)?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Some very basic questions

Most important, for Wake-on-LAN (WOL) to work, the computer being
awakened must be connected to the network via wired ethernet, not wifi.
This is a general limitation of WOL, and not specific to Squeezeboxes.
Strictly speaking there is such a thing as Wireless WOL, but most
computers don't have the requisite network card for that.

Other than that, the only settings required are for the user to
activate WOL on the computer itself. This is usually done through the
computer's BIOS setup program. When using the Controller, all you
usually need to do is to try to navigate to the My Music section and
the Controller will send the wake-up packet to the computer it was last
connected to.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Favourites on Preset Buttons

2011-08-19 Thread aubuti

I don't remember about assigning favorites to the preset buttons, but
you can assign playlists. The trick is to navigate to the desired
playlist, and then set the preset button _before_ you start playing the
playlist. If the playlist is already playing then I think the preset
only gets set to the currently playing track, and not the whole
playlist.

I would try the same thing for assigning a favorite.

 It is very similar to a cable provider not supplying MSG or Fox. 
Which they do all the time (well, MSG at least). And you're leaving out
a key difference: you pay a subscription fee to the cable provider, but
you don't pay anything to the internet radio station.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Is it possible to stream Spotify free to Squeezebox?

2011-08-02 Thread aubuti

Spotify requires a premium subscription to stream to mobile devices or
stationary streaming devices like the SB or Sonos. If you don't want to
pay, you need to stick with their free pc-based service.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to rollback 7.6 to previous version WITHOUT SBS installed

2011-08-02 Thread aubuti

If I recall correctly, steps 1-4 will take you back to the last
previously installed firmware. That may or may not be 7.5.4, depending
on the user's path to getting to the current firmware.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Kill default alarm?

2011-07-21 Thread aubuti

It is possible to replace the annoying backup alarm with an mp3 of your
choice. See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85079. 

But that's not quite the solution you were looking for. Is it possible
that you have a 2nd alarm programmed? Also, are you connecting via
mysqueezebox.com, or are running Squeezebox Server on a computer?

No, it's not supposed to go to the fallback alarm. But you must be
connecting to a server, either mush.com or SBS running on your
computer. Which is it?

 I agree in not wasting energy where possible,  but let's not go

And clocks!! Don't forget to unplug the clocks! Seriously, the Radio's
carbon footprint is nothing compared to mundane things like the dust

car for short trips, etc.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Napster and Squeezebox radio

2011-06-16 Thread aubuti

Welcome to the forums. It would be helpful to indicate where you are, as
Napster has different data centers -- and apparently even different user
interfaces/APIs -- in different parts of the world. Napster performance
can vary quite a bit depending on the data center. I'm in the eastern
US and Napster has been playing fine for me lately, connecting via SBS.
Things were pretty awful in late 2010 and early 2011 but have cleared up
since.
