[SlimDevices: Radio] All 4 SB Radios dropped offline!
A mildly interesting curiosity, now resolved. Last night between 11PM and midnight all four of my SB Radios dropped offline (I ping them every hour). Each was displaying the red wifi icon, and after a power-cycle reluctantly reconnected. They'd all disconnected again by 1AM, and the bedroom Radio woke us with the funky bass tune for the first time in many months. The odd thing about this is that it's JUST the Radios which were affected. This includes one which sits about 1M away from the wifi AP, so usually gets 100% signal. The Touch (usually about 60%) and SB Classic (30%) were fine, as were the iThings and my laptop. Each was power-cycled again this morning and have behaved normally until early evening.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] White Screen of Death?
I have a similar problem with a Touch. If it's ever restarted (e.g. after installing an update) there a 50% chance it'll white screen on me. Everything works except the display. If I leave it powered off for 24 hours, it comes back perfectly fine. You might give that a go.

[SlimDevices: Radio] alarm without popup?
I recently replaced an Clarus Plus with a Squeezebox Radio, to start playing a random selection of music at about 8AM in the spare room, which just happens to be where I get dressed in the morning. The Clarus streams from SBS just fine, but has a poor display. I got fed up of coming downstairs, wondering what's that that's playing and needing to go to a computer to find out. So, this morning I'm in that situation. I go to my shiny new SB Radio, only to find that the Now Playing display is obscured by a popup asking me to either Snooze or End Alarm. If I had been woken up by this, there's no way I'd be able to manipulate the scroll wheel/button: if I were coding a special mode for the alarm it would have to be something like press any button and the radio plays louder. :) What I really want is to just have the radio switch on at a predetermined time. I don't need any snoozes, or fade-ins, I just want it playing already when I stagger downstairs, and I want to be able to see what it's playing. How do I accomplish this? Surely not cron and CLI? -- pallfreeman Oi! You! The sig separator is where you're supposed to stop reading.
