Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What is the alarm like?
I just ordered a radio, and I'm a little confused as to how alarms interact between the radio and squeezebox server and mysqueezebox.com. I need to be able to set an alarm, and have it be effective regardless of which source the radio is connected to at alarm time. It would also be nice if I could set the alarm anywhere (radio, SS, or MSB). For example if I go to sleep listening to local music on squeezebox server, but the alarm was set in the mysqueezebox.com web interface, the alarm should still fire. Do I have to do anything special to have this happen? I understand how the backup alarms (no connectivity) work, so don't need any clarification there? Also, I know this is a more general question about how alarms function, than a specific radio question. If you're aware of posts or articles that already exist which explain this functionality, please point me that way. I tried a few searches, and looked at wiki.slimdevices.com, and didn't find any information on this. Thanks!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] First impressions.... not impressed
I've had the radio for a little more than 12 hours. Here are a few first impressions (this turned out to be pretty long): 1-Sound quality is really outstanding. This is a small bedside device, and it sounds great through the speaker. It does a pretty good job of making even low bit-rate streams sound good, and with good source material (local flac files, high bit-rate radio) is fantastic. It also sounded really nice with my Sony MDR-V6 headphones. 2-Setup. You have to be a geek to set this thing up. Fortunately I am, but it was still frustrating. I used the remote from one of my SB3s to enter accounts, wep-key etc, but it was still a 30 minute process. Also, as far as I can tell, you can't edit a network connection once it exists. Due to some wonkiness with my DHCP server, I initially had to set a static IP address. When I tried to go back to change it, the only way I could see to change it is to completely re-enter the network settings. To be fair, I use a hidden SSID and 128-bit WEP key, so I might be making things harder on myself, but the point is, it should be easy to see and change the settings without completely starting over, especially when it is that difficult to enter passwords. 3-Appearance and ergonomics. This is a really great looking device. I like the LCD a lot, and I really appreciate the fact that with automatic brightness control, it goes really dim. I have the power off screen server set to digital clock (black), and I sleep with my face about 12-18 inches from the clock. My last clock radio spent most of its time with the display off, because even at the lowest setting it illuminated half the bed. The SBR was perfect in that regard. I could always see the time, if I needed to, but the illumination never bothered me. I don't want to rave about it too much, but for me the implementation of the lcd screen is absolutely perfect. Lack of backlit buttons is a plus for me, and it is reasonably easy to find the buttons by touch orienting from the two knobs. It could have and should have been made easier, but it works the way it is. I don't like the menu structure. The main reason, is that it doesn't show you what has already been set at a glance. For example, when changing an alarm you should be able to see from the first screen, if the alarm is on, the time and days for the alarm, and the sound that the alarm makes. You have to go at least two levels deep to see what has already been set. I think this could easily be fixed. It should be possible to re-order the menu items. Why the @#$# can't I manage the menus from the web page??? It's too hard to see which source I'm using (SBS or MSB.com). And it's too hard to switch. 4-Alarms. This is the very worst thing about the Radio. My wife who is very non-technical needs to be able to set an alarm and know that it will go off. She also needs to be able to just hit one button to turn the alarm off till the next day. When the alarm went off this morning, I tried just hitting the power button, which I believe should stop the alarm. I had to hit it 4 or 5 times, in a disoriented state, because I got a different alarm than the one I thought I was getting. I have a LOT of issues with the way the alarms work. It just shouldn't be this hard. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69446 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

The only thing I saw on the screen was the clock. The power button didn't show me a menu or do anything until the third or fourth hit. I didn't try to hit the big knob, maybe I should have. However, I believe that presenting a menu, kind of misses the point of an alarm clock. When I'm just waking up I'm bleary eyed, and don't want to focus on menu text. I just want to press a button to shut the thing up. I'm not talking about snooze here, because i don't use snooze.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm Issues
Hi All, I've had my new Radio for a few days now, and I really, really like it as a bedside streaming device. However one of the main pieces of functionality I purchased the radio for was for it's alarm clock functionality, which I feel is very complicated and lacking in functionality. I've found a few bugs that have already been reported, and have added one or two of my own. If these are issues that you care about, please look at and vote, or comment on these bugs. Here are the issues that are bugging me the most. 1-Next set alarm time doesn't display on the clock. I can see that an alarm is set, but have to go a couple of menu levels deep to actually see what time the alarm is set for. This is reported as Bug 14708, and you can vote or comment on this bug at: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14708 2-I don't use snooze. When my alarm fires, I press the power button to stop the alarm. However, this leaves the alarm menu showing the next time I power the radio on, and in some cases will continue to play the alarm sound. This is reported as Bug 14702 and you can vote or comment on this bug at: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14702 3-It should be easy to get to the alarm menu. The alarm button on the front panel is handy, but it doesn't function unless you power on the radio first. I entered Bug 14715 requesting that the alarm button functions regardless of the power on state. The preset buttons do this, so I believe it should be possible. You can vote or comment on this bug at https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14715 4-I'd like to be able to label alarms instead of having them just called Alarm 1, Alarm 2, etc. I entered an enhancement request as Bug 14716 requesting this functionality. You can vote or comment on this bug at https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14716 I'm sure there is stuff I missed, but if these things were in place, I think the Radio's alarm functionality would be a lot better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How do I get it to play the radio as an alarm?
You should have the option to add a radio station as a favorite. However, if your radio is connected to mysqueezebox.com, this doesn't work due to a bug. To work around this bug, you can go to the mysqueezebox.com web page and add the favorite there. (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14088) If you are connected to squeezebox server (squeezecenter), you should be able to click the wheel, or press the + key and have an option to add the current station to favorites. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69654 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

This may not be the thread to pile on about this, but I'm in complete agreement about the new mysqueezebox.com interface. It is awful compared to the old one. The only "improvement" that I applaud is the drag and drop favorites. Problem is, that getting an address into the favorites list in the first place is super frustrating. I have found NO workable way to get favorites into the mysb.com favs list from the radio. I ended up saving them from my SB3. That isn't going to appeal to the new to internet radio and streaming customer that Logitech needs to go after. Also, why do we have to have the remote player open up in a new window. I would give up on it as well, but it now looks like the only way to get apps like pandora and last.fm to work is to link squeezebox server to a mysb.com account, so I'm stuck with it. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69446 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

When my radio is connected to squeezebox server, the alarm volume never goes above what the most recently used radio volume is. I'm testing this using the Bongo Tech sound as my alarm. Alarms are set to fade in. I have the alarm volume set at 81. If I don't play the radio after setting the alarm, the alarm fades in to around 75. If I play the radio after setting the alarm, the alarm only fades to the volume I set the radio to play at. So if I'm listening to music quietly at night (say volume level 21), the alarm will never get louder than volume level 21. This is a HUGE problem, as it won't wake myself or my wife up at that level. Before I enter a bug, has anyone else seen this behavior? This does not happen when my radio is connected to mysqueezebox.com. Thanks!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] For those of you thinking about returning your Radio ...
I think from a hardware perspective the Radio is fantastic. I think there is a ton of attention to detail, and the sound quality is phenomenal for a device like this. Because of that, I probably won't return it. >From a software perspective I am very disappointed. The main reason for my disappointment is the (lack of) alarm functionality. I know that it is possible to make a fantastic computerized alarm clock. Check out the iPhone/iPod Touch Clock app if you don't believe me. It admirably performs the core function of an alarm clock (waking me up), but it also adds great value and flexibility in the way it wakes me up. I can set as many different alarms as I'd like, and have complete control and visibility over all of them. I also know that when I set an alarm on my iPod Touch, it will get loud enough to wake me up. In contrast, the SBRs alarms are: 1)too loud or too quiet (alarm volume doesn't work) 2)unpredictable due to the fact that when you set an alarm whilst connected to mysb.com, it doesn't always sync to squeezebox server. The reverse is also true. 3)unwieldy. you have to navigate several menus to set an alarm from the device. there is no indication of what time the next alarm will fire, until you are at least 3 menus deep. 4)not a very usable device for people who just want a beep to wake them up. BTW, there is an internal beeper for backup when network connectivity is lost. How about making that accessible as one of the sounds we can choose? If the alarm volume bug gets fixed, that would solve most of my problems. Since having the Radio, I've had alarms not go off, alarms go off when they weren't supposed to, alarms go off so quietly that nobody woke up, alarms go off so loudly that we thought we were under attack, alarms that couldn't be turned off, and a few other issues as well. The good news is that since the alarms are controlled by software, fixing these issues should be easy. The bad news is that they didn't get fixed through the beta process, so maybe it isn't a priority. I think alarm clock functionality should have been a much higher priority. Maybe a cloud based alarm clock is an idea whose time hasn't come yet. An internal device that just works would have been nice, then add on the ability to play streamed music or talk afterwords. I think a lot of existing squeezebox customers bought the radio as a bedside alarm clock, and listening device like I did. I think a lot of new squeezebox customers will freak out at how complicated logitech has made doing a simple thing like setting an alarm, like my wife did. I was hoping the Radio would increase WAF for squeezebox. It turns out to have done just the opposite. My wife won't touch it, and still uses the SB3 to listen to internet radio. Plus she's now setting the alarm on her phone as a backup to the SBR. I know this is a bit of a rant. To summarize, the Squeezebox Radio has definitely earned a place in my home. Whether it has earned a place on my nightstand remains to be seen. Thanks!

You shouldn't have to re-enter to determine the current setting, but you do. This is the case even without the thousands of internet radio station options added. So with the current structure, I agree that limiting radio station choices to favorites is OK. However, I really think that the entire structure should be changed so that you can see at a glance what you currently have set. Once that's in place, anything you can select ought to be in play for alarm choices. -- gdpeck gdpeck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70619 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

So I guess I have 3 options now. 1) troubleshoot it myself for a couple of hours. 2)call logitech support and listen to them fumble through their scripts for a couple of hours. 3) Throw the effing radio at the wall.

I wouldn't necessarily give up just yet. Your eMac doesn't need to be wireless. It can be plugged into one of the ethernet ports on the router then the Squeezebox Radio could wirelessly connect to the network. So your connection would look like this phone jack>dsl modem/router>ethernet port on DSL modem>WAN port on linksys router/acess point. Then you plug the ethernet cable from your eMac into one of the ethernet ports on the linksys router. At that point you can establish a wireless connection from the Squeezebox Radio to the linksys router. This should be fairly straightforward to set up. Thanks!

First, it sounds like the setup CD is not necessary in your case. In fact I don't think the setup CD is necessary with any linksys router. The router has a built in web server that allows you to access all of the setup screens. It also has a built in DHCP server so that your emac and squeezebox can get IP addresses and talk to each other. If you plug your emac into one of the ethernet ports on the router, it should get an IP address and be able to connect. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.6.1, and your eMac should get an IP address of 192.168.1.x. Once that happens you should be able to browse to the router setup screens by typing in http://192.168.6.1 in the address window of your browser. If that doesn't happen, it usually means that the eMac doesn't have the correct IP address. As for plugging an ethernet cable into the Squeezebox Radio, that is certainly a viable option, and may actual

[SlimDevices: Radio] InputToActionMap.lua in 7.6.0 - r30465
I'm trying to edit InputToActionMap.lua to re-map preset buttons, but my edits seem to have no effect in squeezeboxserver 7.6.0 - r30465. I'm running 7.5.0-r8764 firmware on my radio. Are these mappings stored in a different file for 7.6? Thanks!

The Shortcuts applet covered two of the three preset buttons that I have been re-mapping. Thanks again!
