Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Connecting radio to android phone

2012-08-14 Thread realcodeguy

I took a closer look at the back of the radio and noticed the audio jack
was a line in instead of a headphone jack.  That would certainly work, I
was just hoping for a more graceful solution using the phones hotspot.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Connecting radio to android phone

2012-08-14 Thread realcodeguy

I often go to friends house who have no internet or wifi.  I'd like to
be able to take one of my radios over and play music from my Galaxy siii
on the radio.  Any thoughts on how this might be achieved?

2011-03-28 Thread realcodeguy

You guys are right, that one link did mention a remote, I just didn't
see it.  

Anyway, the radios arrived today and I have no idea why there were
advertised as "dented box".  Both radios were brand spanking new.  The
boxes were not dented and the the round plastic sticker that seals the
box was still sealed.  Inside, both radios were in mint condition.  The
plastic wrap and all packaging was unopened.  I saw no difference
between these radios and the other new ones I'd bought.  I think I got
a very good deal and am very pleased.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Can I save 'my music' (random) as a Pre-Set

2011-03-28 Thread realcodeguy

Steve, I'm running the WHS version of the SBS so I'm no sure if you are
seeing the same thing I am.  Is there a link in your settings that says
Web Interface - Advanced Settings"?  If so, click that and it will
launch your web browser to a page that will let you modify settings via
a web interface.  Then, click in the upper left hand corner of that page
where it says "Squeezebox Server" and it will load the web UI we are
referring to.  Let us know what you find.

None of the links I found said anything about a remote.  And, none of
the three radios I've bought new came with a remote.  I don't care
about the remote and I never use the ones that came with my Booms.  I
prefer SqueezeCommand on my phone or iPeng on my iPad.  However, if
they are included it would just be a bonus. They were shipped today,
I'll post back when they arrive.

I bought one and almost got a second but was a little worried the
dented box might might also mean damaged product, but apparently that's
not the case. I think I'll wait until this one arrives.  Offer is good
until 3/25 I think.

I own three radios (one of each color) and I love them.  However, like a
previous post, I don't use and don't care about the alarms and I rarely
used mysb.com. The only connection problem I've had with them turned
out to be my routers problem after a firmware update.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Some advice please

2011-03-19 Thread realcodeguy

I feel your pain, I was experiencing connectivity problems for a while
after upgrading my routers firmware.  I would suggest trying everything
mentioned so far and, if that all fails, get a cheap $20 router and try
that.  I've discovered that not all manufactures are always 100%
compatible with all devices.  My Sony PS3 refuses to connect to my
Belkin N+ router so I finally had to get a wireless game adapter to get
it online.  Good luck and let us know the outcome please.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB radio drops synch and stops playing

2011-03-11 Thread realcodeguy

I'm HAPPY to report that this issue is officially resolved.  I came home
from work, upgraded the SBS to 7.5.3 and installed the firmware on all
the devices.  I'm now on my 58 song in the playlist and have not had a
single hiccup! Both radios are playing rock solid as are the Boom and
Touch.  

Thanks again to all who offered suggestions and advice in resolving
this issue.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB radio drops synch and stops playing

2011-03-09 Thread realcodeguy

I think I've figured it out.  My router is a Belkin N+ (F5D8235-4 v1000)
and last week I upgraded the firmware from 1.01.26 to 1.01.28.  The
reason I upgraded is the router only shows clients connected via LAN
and doesn't show clients connected via WLAN.  I thought the new
firmware might fix this but it didn't. 

After remembering I'd upgraded the firmware, I pulled out my Hawking
wireless extender I bought to provide better reception in the garage. 
I stopped using it because any change made to the router and I had to
run the setup on the device all over again, it was just a pain.  

I setup the extender and connected the two radios to it.  They both
have been playing rock solid for over an hour now without dropping.
It's odd how the firmware change on the router would affect only these
devices.  

It's late now, but tomorrow I'll upgrade back to SBS 7.5.3 and
hopefully the radios will play all night like they have been for the
last hour+. I'll post back with the results, but I feel fairly
confident the router is the issue. I'll know more tomorrow night. 

Thanks for all the suggestions and help offered thus far.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB radio drops synch and stops playing

2011-03-09 Thread realcodeguy

Thanks Gary. I rolled the server back to 7.5.2 tonight before I read
your post and thought that fixed it as I finally got half an hour of
solid music without having one of the radios drop.  But, just as I
thought it was fixed, one of the radios stopped playing *sigh*.  I
rolled back to 7.5.1 the same thing.  My touch and boom are connected
via wifi like the radios, but they never experience the problem.  I had
the first radio setup using a static IP before I restored the router to
factory defaults.  I think next test is to use the RJ45 port on one of
the radios and if the issue goes away I'll try another router.  I'm
just at a complete lost right now not knowing if the problem is
software or hardware.

The new radio arrived today.  Just plugged it in and set it up on the
network.  Synched it with my other radio, touch and boom.  On the
SECOND song, the new radio stopped playing music but remained connected
to the network. It almost has to have something to do with the radio
firmware because the two radios have the same problem. I'm running out
of ideas now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB radio drops synch and stops playing

2011-03-08 Thread realcodeguy

I'm not running any processor intense plugins.  As a matter of fact,
shortly before I bought the slim devices I replaced the system hard
drive in my media smart server and it screams now.  My CPU utilization
is usually around 10-13% when I'm accessing the SB library. I am
running My Movies 4 pre-release which uses SQL, but since I recently
rebuilt the server I haven't had a chance to reload all my titles so
the library has less than 50 titles. 

Tonight, I uninstalled the SqueezeBox Server add-in and re-installed it
hoping for the best, but that didn't do any good. It will be interesting
to see how the new radio that will be here tomorrow behaves.  I'll post
back once I know something.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SB radio drops synch and stops playing

2011-03-08 Thread realcodeguy

I thought you had solved my problem usch when you mentioned the behavior
occurs after a scan of your music library.  A few days ago I enabled the
"Auto Rescan" third party plug-in so I thought that perhaps it was
kicking off and causing the radio to drop.  However, I disabled the
plug-in and the problem still exists.  

I ordered a red SB radio from Amazon last night that will be here
tomorrow to see if suffers the same problem. I'd like to know if it's
the radio  itself, or something with my network/server setup.

[SlimDevices: Radio] SB radio drops synch and stops playing

2011-03-06 Thread realcodeguy

I have a SB Touch, Boom and Radio.  All 3 are only a few months old. I
always play all three synched together connected to a local Squeezebox
server running on a HP EX485 home server.  Recently, the radio will
drop from the synch stream and just stop playing.  It is still
connected to the network because I can use SqueezePad to turn it off
and back on.  When it comes back on it rejoins the synch stream and
starts playing again.  However, this happens every 3 or 4th song and it
is really getting annoying.  I've reset the radio to factory default
settings and then installed the update but the problem persists. I've
verified I don't have an IP conflict but am running out of ideas. Has
anyone ever heard of this or have any suggestions?
