[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
just received my radio a few minutes ago but had a very big surprise as I noticed that I have to upgrade my slimcenter from 7.3 to 7.4?! I thought I just need to upgrade if I want to use the services from mysqueezebox.com? slimcenter is running on my (in the meantime) old QNAP TS101 where version 7.4 does not seem to be suppored so far any hints how I can force my radio to live with version 7.3.3? thanks! simsboard -- simsboard simsboard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69408 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

You only need to upgrade if you want to use more than only those services. You can use online radio, Last.FM, Rhapsody, etc. without upgrading. But if you want to play your local music you'll have to upgrade. ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I'm surprised that 7.4 is not mentioned anywhere in the System Requirements for the SB Radio: http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/products/squeezebox-radio.html#tab2 It seems to me that a natural place to put that info would be with the bullet that says -"For access to local music: 256MB RAM and 100MB hard disk space"- -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69408 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
Yeah, I assumed they were making the need for SBS7.4 known to buyers. I have accidentally connected my Radio to SC7.3.3 a couple times, it will "function" but not very well. Limited features (like local music as mentioned), screen issues, etc.. not an overall good experience. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69408 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
How did you manage to connect your Radio to SC 7.3.3 ? When I go to "My Music" and select my NAS from the libraries list, it says "qnap-nas needs to be updated to a newer version of the Squeezebox Server". The weird thing is that when I go to "Settings" -> "Choose Player" and select my SB3, I can control the SB3 just fine (above UI issues apply), but there is no sound from the Radio. :-( I upgraded SC to 7.3.4 but that didn't make any difference. -- RichieB RichieB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11310 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69408 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
My SC7.3.3 is on a WinXP, that alone may be the difference, dunno. I don't think SC can "grab" Radio via my SC UI, though I only tried once long ago. I've connected by accident by switching Radio back from MySB but forgetting that SBS is not running so it goes to SC. I've also accidentally chosen SC over SBS within "Switch Libraries" where Radio sees both SC and SBS. But, again, I would not suggest running Radio on SC. It will be a very buggy and sporadic experience. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69408 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
I tried if I could convince my radio to use a 7.3.3 server (which I can't upgrade for the same reasons -> no update yet for my arm-based linkstation). The good news: it is possible (see below). The bad news: I'm only able to play local music now (and in the 'now playing'-screen the artwork is shown too big). internetradio isn't working (as well as -of course- trying to use 'Apps'). I guess that's because SqueezeNetwork isn't working anymore (mysqueezebox.com now) - I guess somewhere on the server the URL might need to be changed as well. So if local music is the only thing you need, you might try the following: - active remote access on the radio (Settings->Advanced-Remote Login) - connect with a program like WinSCP (search the wiki for it) - edit the file '/usr/share/jive/applets/ChooseMusicSourceApplet.lua' (double click in WinSCP) - around line 402 you will find a method 'selectServer' some line below you will find the lines Code: if server:getVersion() and not server:isCompatible() then --we only know if compatible if serverstatus has come back, other version will be nil, and we shouldn't assume not compatible _serverVersionError(self, server) return end You need to disable the lines in the middle, so changes them to look like the following (see red markup): Code: if server:getVersion() and not server:isCompatible() then --we only know if compatible if serverstatus has come back, other version will be nil, and we shouldn't assume not compatible *--*_serverVersionError(self, server) *--*return end - save the file and restart radio Of course I don't know what else might not be working. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver, 1xSB-Boom.

Have to correct myself: on my 7.3.3 server I didn't have the corrent MySB-username+password. Now all radio stations turn up again, some radio stations are even playing. Don't know why others don't play that don't give me problems with a 7.4.0-server. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver, 1xSB-Boom. Server running on Linkstation NAS (LS-CHL).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
unfortunatly on my configuration it did not work - removed the line using vi on the SBR, did a reboot and stopped the SBS7.4 on the desktop-PC the SBR tried then first to connect to the SBS 7.4 then it gave the option to change to another server I saw the SC 7.3.3 on my QNAP but unfortunatly it did not connect to it after some time it even did not find the SC 7.3.3 any more :-( and each time I tried to search for another server the SBR started to make very strange things like: continue to play music even when I switched it off,... so thanks for hint but it looks as if I will have to wait for another workaround!! simsboard -- simsboard simsboard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69408 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
Some results of my investigation of playing radiostations (I'm testing with radio-stations from World->Europe->Germany->Berlin): RadioStreams with mp3-format play well on Radio connected to 7.3.3 server (Star FM, http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s8041&partnerId=16) RadioStreams with Windows-Media format don't play on radio connected to 7.3.3 server (RBB Radio Eins, http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s25111&partnerId=16) Radio can play both streams when connected directly to MySqueezebox.com . I tried the same with my 7.3.3-Controller connected to 7.3.3 server. When the Controller is selected as Player (thus Jive) I get the same behaviour (mp3-streams playing, Windows Media not). When the receiver is selected as Player it can play both streams. So I assume that a 7.4 server does something to the Windows Media Stream, that Jive (Radio or 7.4-Controller) can play them. Maybe the receiver has some built-in decoder to play those streams even with a 7.3 server ?
