[SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
I am absolutely sick and tired of trying to get the alarm to work. For something that looks like it should be possible to use it as a clock radio this is the worst feature of the Radio. Every time updates come out I install in the hope that THIS time it will fix the awfulness of the alarm but no. I have the alarm set to play a radio station favourite. The radio is connected to the internet and playing the same station in the evening when it sleeps. I also use a ReadyNAS which doesn't turn on or off during the night (and shouldn't make any difference anyway). What happens? Sometimes I get the default noise straight away, this morning I got about 30 seconds of my chosen radio station and then the default noise again - I hadn't snoozed or tried to turn off, it just started playing. And the radio which played was live, it wasn't a 'left over' bit from last night's buffer. And COME ON - if you must have a default noise does it have to be so HORRIBLE? I also have a serious gripe about the way the volume of the alarm messes up the volume of play for everything else. I usually have my radio playing through powered speakers on either side of the bed attached through the headphone socket. For this I have the radio volume set to about 50 and then I get an appropriate range of volume with the speaker control. The alarm plays only through the radio speaker and doesn't use the attached speakers. (How annoying is that.) Thankfully(hahahaa!) there is a volume control (in the alarm set up options) for the alarm which perports to be separate from that for normal play. So obviously when playing through the radio speaker I don't want it at 50 so I set it much lower. Then I find that once the alarm has done its total FAIL (as above) the volume for normal play when I manually start the radio up and it plays through the speakers has also been turned right down. I'm not going to use the alarm again but I'm so annoyed by it I felt the need to rant about it (again). Sorry about that - I'll go have a cup of tea now, calm down and go to argos and buy a clock radio that might actually work. -- Straille Straille's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Actually, it's a well known bug. Could be caused by a network glitch, but the Radio apparently isn't very good at figuring out when not to sound the backup alarm. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16446 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16190 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81121 -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
The second bug report is my own :-) but as said - even very tiny network glitches (which aren't recognized with normal -buffered- streaming) make the radio go into fallback mode. Good thing about the first bug report is the many logitech employees in there ;-). Though the one responsible for the code as well can prove a network glitch in those logs. For the radio it's very hard to decide what it does when the network drops the main connection. It doesn't know how long it will be - and worse - it doesn't know whether to trust the server when it reconnects (the server could have been rebooted and maybe doesn't know anymore that an alarm should still play). So as long as the alarms are triggered and handled by the server it is very hard to solve this problem. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com) *!

IMO: Just get a simple $5 alarm clock (no radio) with a battery backup. After turning off alarm on the $5 unit simply press PLAY or a PRESET on the Radio for your morning radio amusement.

I have registered my unhappiness on the Logitech forum and can't decide whether to send the radio back which does look nice and plays perfectly other than the alarm farce or whether I should hang in and wait for a fix. Do we think Logitech will try and address it soonish? Will it ever work as intended?

They are continuously trying, it's just that they haven't succeeded
yet. It might sound easy but getting this to work correctly with online
internet radio stations and various server/router setups can be pretty
complex.
Earlier (7.4) the problem was that the alarm wasn't triggered at all,
now it at least mostly outputs the default alarm so people wake up.
IMHO, I don't think we will get a real solution unless enough people
complains to Logitech support or possibly through their official forum.
The real solution requires changes in the architecture and they won't do
this as long as they only think a few people is a bit frustrated.
Complains in this community forum is not enough as they aren't seen by
the correct people.

Yes I think so, it will just take some time.
It's a software problem and most of the software is open sourced, so in
the worst case, it should be possible for some third party developer to
implement a local alarm solution where you at least can control the
volume, timeout and sound of the fallback alarm.

Your comments give me hope, thank you. Although it amazes me that this product has been on the market for around a year and it sounds like it's never worked as it should do especially in terms of an alarm. In my opinion Logitech should pull it from their range until they can guarantee full functionality in the vast majority of cases. They are clearly selling a product they know is not fit for purpose and will not do what many people want it to!! -- wonder boy Squeezebox ex-fan boy and proud... 2x Boom 1x SB3 Just ordered SB Radio...do I need help I WISHED I HADNT!!! wonder boy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

The strange thing is that it do seems to work for some people, mostly
people with a 24/7 SBS server on a computer. Similar issues can also be
caused by error or non optimal configuration in your local network or
your ISP.
However, due to the fact that people tends to complain here instead of
telling Logitech support about their problems, I'm not sure Logitech
are aware of how many people that are still affected. So even if
Logitech support staff isn't able to solve the problem immediately it's
extremely important that people tell them about their problems.

Fairly reliable with a local server, not at all reliable with mysb.com. Part of the problem lies in the lack of reliability of mysb.com, but that should be dealt with in the software running on the Radio/Touch. > However, due to the fact that people tends to complain here instead of > telling Logitech support about their problems, I'm not sure Logitech > are aware of how many people that are still affected. Oh, come on. How could they not be aware of it? The biggest problem is that Squeezebox has been deprecated, with few resources remaining in software development.

In their 2010 Financial Statements, they report sales revenue of $1,966,748,000 (almost $2 billion dollars). I gotta believe that squeezebox products are a very small part of that amount. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

The reason would be one or a combination of:
1. They no longer see any potential in the Squeezebox products
2. They think the software is cheaper to maintain than it is
3. They have put a maximum limit on what the maintenance is allowed to
cost
4. They aren't aware of any major problem because they refuse to read
community forums and instead relies on people telling them directly by
calling the official support channel, which is the same way as many
other companies handle support.
5. They temporary needed the resources for some other project which
have higher priority.
If they really don't see any potential in the Squeezebox products, I
can't understand why the developers are doing the stuff they are doing.
Considering the amount of development resources there are a lot of new
development going on in 7.6 and I really can't see the point of this if
the products are considered deprecated. If you are correct, it would
have been a lot better to only focus this development time on bug
fixing.
If something costs a lot and you aren't sure about its potential, it's
not that strange if you like to restrict the costs during a period
until you have investigated/analyzed the potential.

Agreed, especially if barely none of the customers is even willing to
call the support or post in their official support forum and ask them
to fix it.

I have reported the problems directly to Logitech by their established procedure. It resulted in their replacing the SBRadio for me, however it made no difference and I so informed them. They have told me that they are aware of the problems and are working on updated firmware. In my report I concentrated on the display freezing as to me that is the most annoying problem for me.

That's good.
People should keep complaining in those threads and eventually I'm sure
it will get some priority because the support staff gets tired of
reading the complaints.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
I don't know if this little tidbit is still of any value for the masses, but it seems to have improved my experience of the alarm. When you go to sleep at night, be sure that you do so either via sleep mode, or by pausing (not stopping) the current stream and then powering off into standby. I seem to remember someone mentioning that if you pause, the radio doesn't know how soon you intend to resume, so it maintains a constant wireless connection. Whereas if you press stop on the stream or worse, merely press the power button, the radio assumes you won't be coming back anytime soon and "relaxes" the wireless connection, resulting in intermittent behavior with the alarm the next morning. Logical or not, it's improved my alarm experience.

Exactly same issue here...some short seconds of waking pleasure from the live radio station and then a default tune. Luckily my default tune is some kind of jazzy rif repeating endlessly, but does get boring rather quickly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
Has anyone tried the new beta firmware 7.6 r9135 to see if the alarm problems are sorted? I'm aware there is a display dimming bug now in there too, but surely they must have fixed more than they broke???

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
Maybe the dimming bug isn't a bug, but a feature. It lights up your bedroom so much, you don't even get to sleep. Thus, no alarm is needed anymore ;-) -- Loom Loom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35285 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
Today, the alarm started with 2 secs. Radio Paradise...then 2 secs default tune...and (luckily) back to Radio Paradise again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
I got the same annoying problem, 5 to 30 seconds of my chosen radio station - then default song. It usually makes me so mad that I can't sleep any longer... but this is not how I want to start my day! Why are new errors introduced every time a new firmware version is released?... please fix ASAP! -- Altec Altec's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23276 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
I run Squeezebox Server on a Thecus N5200 Pro that is on 24/7. For me the alarm has worked correctly probably around 70% of the time, the other 30% of the time it plays the extremely irritating default noise. This morning for the first time ever, the alarm simply failed to go off. Not Good!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm is awful.
Indeed I don't count the times when the alarm failed partly or completely any more. It's much simpler to count the times when it worked more or less ok. It's not like I need more than the fingers on one hand to count that in the last month(s). Honestly I can't remember when it worked completely flawlessly the last time. Must have been back in February or so. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
