Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Music before Alarm
You should wait a day in the hope that the Firmware is confirmed and available for download. Then you just need to install the 7.4 -nightly and your radio will update soon after that.

All fixed apparently - thanks Ben == Auto-comment from SVN commit #8312 to the jive repo by bklaas == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/jive?view=revision&revision=8312 == Bug: 14870 Fixed Bug: 15457 Description: first checkin of merged code that includes Marc's code to defensively fire the fallback when things go bad and many other changes made by me -- include a sending of a WOL packet 10 mins before next configured alarm -- alarm window now has an EVENT_WINDOW_POP listener that resets the self.alarmInProgress value when the window hides. This effectively ties resetting of state variables to the popup window while allowing events to bubble up the event handler (i.e., return EVENT_UNUSED on callback actions) -- for now the sledgehammer method is only called by the decodePollTimer and not by the misc notification methods. My hope is that's what we can eventually settle on. -- miniwaites miniwaites's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11895 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73708 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Makes sense. I think if you watch the log you will see in this case a playerModeChange or playerLoaded or playerCurrent or similar notification coming from SqueezeOS that is causing the audio subsystem to be prematurely transitioned to actually play out audio prior to when the volume is adjusted just above 0. Then again, you'll only see the notification occur if an applet or SqueezeOS is logging it.

I've probably just been sleepy when a alarm has fired earlier thinking that there was some audio left in some buffer. Anyway, this is what happens: 1. I have the alarms configured to ramp up the volume with the "Fade Alarms In" setting. 2. I've paused the player, not stopped it. 3. When the alarm is fired it correctly selects the chosen playlist 4. It starts to play the music with high volume, I think it's the volume according to the alarm volume setting 5. After a half second it changes the volume to just above 0 6. It correctly ramps up the volume slowly until it reaches the alarm volume setting. The problem is step 4 which causes me to wake up immediately instead of through slowly ramped up music. It feels like step 4 and 5 should happen in the opposite order so the volume is lowered before the stream actually starts to play. If the player is stopped (not just paused) before the alarm sequence it works correctly. Also the problem is not what's in the buffer because it plays the correct track at step 4, it's just that the volume is too high at that moment. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73708 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Music before Alarm
I think Erland's and Stefan's comments are both probably important (Peter's as well, in pointing out to distinct issues in terms of the fallback alarm versus some earlier stream playing for a bit). I'd suggest doing a small bit of testing with the following in mind: You're playing stream 1 at some point in time and then think you've stopped it. It could be that when you think you've 'stopped' it that you really haven't, since hitting the pause button actually 'pauses' the stream. If the stream is then sitting there paused for hours prior to the alarm going off then there will be no surprise if you hear it again briefly when the 'server' alarm goes off (and maybe even if a fallback alarm fires, since it could be that encoded audio from the earlier stream has already made it to the Radio cache before you paused it OR that decoded audio - PCM samples - are themselves still waiting in the Radio cache from earlier). The reason you may hear the earlier stream briefly is due to how the notification system works. If a playerModeChange notification is delivered to some listening applet (or perhaps even just SqueezeOS directly determines the transition has occurred) which then decides that means to turn the local audio playout back on then voila... you are left with the previously played stream audio which was previously in paused state. playerModeChange notifications (along with several other similar type notifications) DO occur during the alarm process... So, see if a previously stopped (not paused) stream, as Stefan mentioned, manifests the issue when a later alarm is fired then retest with the played stream being paused (not stopped) prior to the later alarm firing... I would not be at all surprised if you hear just the alarm audio after the prior stream was stopped, but the brief earlier stream first if it was paused... Of course, if the earlier stream continues to be briefly heard prior to the requested alarm audio even after the earlier stream was explicitly stopped (not paused) then the problem is likely that either the cache/prefetch audio buffer at the server or the Radio is not being properly flushed after a stop operation. Either way, any existing audio (whether earlier paused or stopped) should, in my view, be flushed out of the playout pipeline when an alarm fires... Not so easy to do in the current context of how alarms work though...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Music before Alarm
Many thanks to Bluegaspode for his comments: "You hear the 'fallback' alarm which means your server is not ready yet to send the alarm-signal and play the proper stream. This fallback alarm currently doesn't fade in." The fallback alarm, very loud, very repetitive, is nothing I recognise - I assume it is an item from the inbuilt sounds library. Might I at least change it for another more gentle sound? Since this sound is not on any playlist, and is played at max volume, I think the problem noted by Miniwaites and myself is different from that described by Erland, who commented: >I've suspected it starts to play the current playlist with the last >used volume when the device is turned on before the alarm handling >kicks in and changes the playlist and lowers the volume. ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Your are seeing http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14870#c23 scenario #1 (the first half). You hear the 'fallback' alarm which means your server is not ready yet to send the alarm-signal and play the proper stream.

If your server doesn't wake up at all only your first alarm will sound, the second won't go off at all. Solving it won't be easy, as in the SqueezeboxWorld the server remembers and fires all alarm while the devices just remember the first alarm for fallback. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.

Thanks for the reply. Fade in is set and it's not playing an internet radio station or (as far as I'm aware) my own music. For clarification although I admit it must be related to the alarm I dont think its anything I have set in the alarm. I have deleted it and moved the second identical alarm to be the 7.40 then recreated the later alarm.
