Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Community Build Radio Firmware
Thanks ralphy, custom firmware installed and working well so far. I want to set up cron to reboot my radio every day but I'm not sure how to do that with a busybox device. I'm was familiar with VI and full blown UNIX cron and crontab -e (from many years ago!) but my poor old brain isn't as agile as it used to be. Do I need to set environment or will a simple single line entry entry work? As an example a simple entry like this... 0 5 * * */reboot in this instance to reboot every day at 5am.

Squeezeplay often fails to properly "home" horizontally scrolled text when scrolling has paused. On a Squeezebox Controller, this fault may also result in "jittering" of the text.

My Radio is in a awkward position and when it needs to be re-booted it's difficult to get to the power plug to pull power. Are you able to describe how to activate cron? If it's possible I could use cron to schedule a weekly re-boot as a workaround to needing to physically pull power to re-boot. Alternatively, is your new Radio firmware available?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio wifi problems-MEGATHREAD!
Only just seen this thread so sorry for the late reply. I had the same problems when using a BT HH3 - wireless connection dropping almost every day. Needed to reboot the hub to get Radio back onto network. Tried all sorts of things to 'cure' the problem but in the end gave up and swapped out the HH3 for a Netgear router - Netgear WNDR4500 in my case as I have BT Infinity. Haven't had the problem since! Had other disconnection issues with the HH3 as well. It looks pretty but does seem a bit (very?) flakey.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] White Screen of Death?
Have just been back in contact with Logitech Europe and the response this time was much better.

I always have the same problem with 'White screen' after a new firmware install. I leave it on the white screen and wait for the applets to install. Then I pull the power plug and leave it off for 10 minutes, power back on all works OK. I contacted Logitech support and they were not helpful. "It must be because your are using SbS 7.6 which isn't an official release yet". Well it is official now so I will contact them again!

Not an elegant fix > but it worked for me. Hmmm... A number of users have gone through the same process - factory reset - over the last month including me. I only did it the first time I lost connection to mysqueezebox.com and in my case the "out of the box" setup didn't work. The service eventually came back of its own accord when Logitech maybe 'fixed' problems at their end. I say maybe because it isn't clear if it's a capacity or software issue. It's unfortunate that users are having to go through the reset process when the problem in most cases appears to be at Logitechs end. I think that it would probably pay to be patient when the service is lost and wait for Logitech to (maybe!) 'fix' it again. It's difficult to be patient though, particularly when it happens several times over (third time for me in a month) and the service is lost for days at a time. Anyway, this time it all started working again (for me in the UK) on 1st January. Hopefully this will be the last failure and Logitech have put a viable solution in place. One can but hope...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Now it stopped working altogether (German data center of MYSB is done for?)
Same problem here using Duet (UK) - can't even connect to local server using the controller. This is exactly the same problem I had when using SbS 7.5.0 from the point Logitech switched over to 'test.mysqueezebox.com'. I went back to 7.4.2 to get full functionality back but now this isn't working either :-( The only way I can get SBR/SBC to connect to anything is by using my laptop - controller starts to work when the laptop is online as well! No laptop = no SBR/SBC. Logitech - have you recently done something to 'mysqueezebox.com' servers which copy over what you did with 'test.mysqueezebox.com'? Whatever is happening, you (Logitech) need to do something quickly to fix these problems. Users really will start deserting if not able to get consistant & reliable service from their Squeezeboxes!!! It's been happening constantly since November!!!
