Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] My SBR alarm blog

2011-01-24 Thread jaaen

Alarm wasn't used during the weekend (thank God!) but this morning I had
adjusted the alarm time to be 6:58 instead 07:00 - and the radio station
played as it should.  Somebody had suggested that exactly at 07:00 there
might be too many Internet Radios attempting to connect to the same
radio station at the same time.  
I will continue to monitor and post what happens.

Hi,

Thanks again for looking at the log. This morning at 6.30 the alarm
worked fine. I had made no changes.  I have attached the log.  The only
thing that is strange is that I still get that "network thread timeout"
message in the log: 


Code:


  Jan 19 06:31:02 squeezeplay: WARN   applet.AlarmSnooze - 
AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua:420 _pollDecodeState(server): audioState is 1
  Jan 19 06:31:02 squeezeplay: WARN   applet.AlarmSnooze - 
AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua:241 alarm_sledgehammerRearm(_pollDecodeState): server 
alarm in progress - audioState is 1
  Jan 19 06:31:08 squeezeplay: WARN   net.thread - NetworkThread.lua:146 
*network thread timeout for Task(SocketHttp {Our music_Request}(R))*
  Jan 19 06:31:11 squeezeplay: WARN   applet.AlarmSnooze - 
AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua:420 _pollDecodeState(server): audioState is 1
  



It is true the Radio is connected using Wlan - and the connection is
not the best - about 50% bars on the indicator.  But then again - I
practically never have a problem in selecting radio station and it
plays with a few seconds.  

I have now tried to change the starting of the alarm to be 6:28 instead
of 6:30 in case that it relates to a slow Internet stream exactly at
6:30 due to many Internet Radios using the stream at the same time.

I will post more progress! :-)

Jesper

Thanks for quick response. 
Do you know of a hack that would increase that time?

Hi,

I set the alarm on my Radio at 6:30 today 18th of January.

As usual the Fallback alarm fired instead of the radio stream.  Note
that when I select the radio stream, for example by hitting the preset
buttons - there is no problem connecting to the radio station.  It
usually takes just 3-4 seconds max.

I have attached log file.  

It would be great if anybody can read anything out of the file! :-)

No, I it is another radio station, Radio Nova finland: 
http://striimi.radionova.fi/radionova/fi/radionova_on_air.mp3

So, I am hoping your proposal happens to work on this too.  Let's see.

I will keep you posted and attach log files.

Thanks for helping out.

Jesper

Hi,

I've had the same problem with the alarm as described in this thread. 
I.e. in the morning my Squeezebox Radio very often uses the Fallback
alarm tone instead of playing my selected internet radio stream.

Only now I noticed this thread - and I have made the proposed change to
the timer.  Now anxiously looking forward to see if this helps tomorrow
morning. :-)

Has anybody else tried this? Any success?

Has there been any progress in this area that I haven't noticed in some
other threads?  I can see that the status of the related bug
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16663 is still in progress
and planned for the 7.6.0 release.

Jesper
