Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio tower constantly showing
Hi there If you do THIS you can normally get the proper logo for the Radio Station. 1) Ensure that you are NOT listening to the station you want to save the logo for and that you've deleterd it grom tghe favourites. 2) Search for the Radio station via Internet search 3) Save as favourite -- you'll find it will now be saved with the LOGO Don't ask me why this works --it just does.

[SlimDevices: Radio] USB connection for Radio to play music from USB disk
Hi all So far I've really enjoyed using the squeezebox radio -- but I'd love just a small modification. Could a future product allow connection of a USB disk and play music from the local device -- I've got about 300 GB of music stored on one of those nice tiny WD passport USB disks. Would be great if the radio could also play music from loacl files stored on that disk. There is already a Line In input and the radio must have some type of OS (probably a small Linux) embedded into it - so the chances are USB support already exists in the kernel. All one would need is to add a USB connector to the case -- not IMO a difficult engineering job to do.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Favorites Icons in 7.5
Thanks That did the trick I saved all the old favourites to a backup file on the computer first -- just in case I lost them Then deleted the favourites from the server started again Works fine. Good tip - but if you've got a lot of favourites from Obscure URL's SAVE those first to a backup file (you can re-import those again) just in case you can't find them again or screw things up.

[SlimDevices: Radio] SKY NEWS Radio - Internal Server error
Hi all I like SKY NEWS RADIO -- (not the SKY TV Feed from the menu but the ISLEWORTH UK feed). This broadcasts the same as the SKY NEWS service that goes out on Satellite -- with the advertisments blanked out (nice) via music. However just recently when I try and listen to this I keep getting a message both on the Duet and Radio -- ICY ... Internal Server error. Re-booted, re-installed SB server software on machine -- same problem. I hope this feed hasn't become a Paid for service as ut's a really good News source. Anybody else with this problem. -- jimbo45 jimbo45's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20276 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74251 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

[SlimDevices: Radio] Nice surprise Squuezebox Duet Remote WORKS with the Radio
Hi all Santa gave me a Squuezebox Radio. I LOVE the Squeezebox Radio -- but if you are frustrated by not being able to get a Remote for it and you also have a Squeezebox DUET system - then that REMOTE also WORKS with the radio -- just Choose player on the remote menu to control the radio. No probs having a Radio and a Duet system working either individually or at the same time. My only complaint (and I had to look really hard to find one) is that the Radio wasn't designed to be used with ordinary batteries -- however the re-chargeable battery back will be OK when I can find one -- thisRadio is just meant to be portable so not having batteries from the outset seemed to me a big mistakr. Apart from that -- LOVELY PIECE OF KIT -- THANKS SANTA (and Logitech).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Server with AVG or Avira
Hi there just allow your AV software to access the ports -- you've probably got them blocked off. Note -- although this is NOT a Windows Forum I'd suggest you uninstall your current AV software and use MSE (FREE BTW) or Microsofts Forefront Client Security package. If you are running XP or Windows 7 why not use MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) instead -- very small footprint, definitions updated almost dated and does a first class job. Finally with Microsoft involved in protecting their own OS'es the Software SHOULD be good.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Someone else is playing my SBR
Hi all save your favorites into 2 text files titled infobrowser.opml and infobrowser.opml.backup. (Same data in each file). Use the export function in Settings in your squeezebox server. Now in the settings if your favorites get lost for any reason you can re-import them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] New SB Radio, New Router - no connection
Hi all AVG is a DOG -- why on earth people running AV software choose this POS is totally beyond me. If you log on to various Windows Forums you'll find the low opinion of AVG is pretty universal. I'd uninstall it and install say MSE (its free, small and effective) -- Microsoft Security Essentials and updated nearly daily. However your problem in connecting to your network might be that the posts are blocked -- so unblock the ports in your security software. Check also you haven't got any IP conflicts in your Network.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Nice surprise Squuezebox Duet Remote WORKS with the Radio
Hi there All I did on the controller was to go to the Choose Player setting. It listed my Duet and the Radio. I just selected Radio and the controller works just fine. When I want to control the Duet box I just chose the squeezebox player. I haven't tried controlling the player from the radio -- I think that would lead to too much confusion in our house.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio battery on Logitech UK... kinda
Hi all New Year resolution for 2010 (Not just with Logitech -- BUT ANYBODY) I WILL NOT DEAL WITH OFFSHORED CALL CENTRES (USUALLY IN INDIA) ANY MORE . I've gone back to old fashioned FAX if I need any support -- it actually works quicker too in the long run. I think finally if everynody refused to put up with the irritating telephone menu's plus the inevitable Your Call is important to Us or In order to get you to your service as quickly as possible we caould consign these to the Dustbin of History. As many as 15 years ago you could get -- there are xxx people in front of you in the queue -- your call should be anaswered in approximately yy minutes. Since then Call centre service has got PROGRESSIVELY WORSE -- why can't we with 21st century technology place our request and then the CALL CENTRE would automatically Ring back when an agent was available -- SIMPLE TECHNOLOGY. The battery connector is actually fairly standard so you could make one using standard re-chargeable AA batteries -- cheaper by far. This Radio is just CRYING OUT for batteries -- it's great to take it around the house -- and as it plays FLAC music directly who needs CD's etc any more.
