Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Workaround for too loud fallback alarm: change volume
Argh! After a recent system update, my Touch updated its firmware and I
was back to the unpatched Fallback Alarm. And did not I know it when
the disco beat hit me at full blast. So I spent hours googling around,
for I had lost the bookmark from when I originally patched it years ago.
Finally I found it again here. So I thought I add a post to summarize
from this thread the steps necessary on Windows 10 to drop the volume:
To enable access on the Touch (cf post #4):
Home > Settings > Advanced > Remote Login > Enable SSH
the Touch will reveal its IP, eg 192.168.1.42
To access the thus enabled Touch from Windows 10, from the CMD shell
run:
ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -caes128-cbc
root@192.168.1.42
Once logged into the Touch (cf post #1)
# cd /usr/share/jive/applets/AlarmSnooze
# vi AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua
When inside the vi editor, scroll down (or type "/soundFall" ENTER) to
function soundFallbackAlarm(self)
log:warn("*** Alarm: soundFallbackAlarm()")
self.alarmVolume = 43 -- forget fade in stuff, just do it - it's
an alarm!
-- cache previous volume setting
Navigate to the 43, DEL DEL.
Press "i" to insert your preferred volume level (eg 12). ESC. You
should now have eg
self.alarmVolume = 12 -- forget fade in stuff, just do it - it's
an alarm!
Enter ":wq" to write the file and quit.
# exit
PS: I cannot understand why after all these years this volume parameter
has not made it into the Settings/Players/Advanced in LMS. This is
really an arcane procedure to patch a volume level.

For anyone using 7.5, I've now added a patch for this that can be installed through the third party Patch Installer applet. 1. Install the third party Patch Installer applet through Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer 2. Install the "Low Volume Fallback Alarm" patch through Settings/Advanced/Patch Installer (you have to uncheck the "Recommended Patches Only" checkbox to be able to see it) The patch will change the volume to 20 instead of the default 43. The Patch Installer applet requires 7.5, so this procedure won't work for users using 7.4.* or earlier releases. -- 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=77403 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Workaround for too loud fallback alarm: change volume
Here is some useful information should you want to replace the Jingle-Jangle standard fallback alarm with your own MP3 (I've put together parts of what has been posted by others and what I found on the net, because I thought it would be useful to have this in this thread as well). One word of caution, be certain the file size of your replacement alarm.mp3 is roughly the same as the fallback alarm.mp3 (not megs in size) as you may use up all available memory in the Radio. To access the Squeezebox Radio via SSH: 1. On the Radio, choose "Home > Settings > Advanced > Remote Login > Enable SSH". You should see a message telling you the root password and IP address. If you don't see the message, restart your Radio and try again. 2. From your PC, use a program like WINSCP to SSH into the IP address of the Radio 3. Enter "root" (without quotes) as the user and enter the password displayed on the Radio when you "enable ssh" (the default is "1234"(without quotes)). Once you are in via SSH, you can find the default alarm.mp3 at the location: /usr/share/jive/applets/AlarmSnooze/alarm.mp3 Simply copy your alarm.mp3 to this location and replace the default. It is also a good idea to reduce the fallback alarm volume as indicated in this thread as I found it was playing even my "replacement" fallback alarm.mp3 at heart attack levels!! Worked like a charm for me, no more Jingle-Jangle! Good Luck!!!

[SlimDevices: Radio] Workaround for too loud fallback alarm: change volume
The fallback alarm is ringing the last week many times. This alarm is
too loud.
One option is to change the alarm.mp3 file, but another one is to
change the volume setting:
1. Log in to the radio using ssh
2. Edit the AlarmSnoozeApplet file:
vi /usr/share/jive/applets/AlarmSnooze/AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua
3. search for volume (/volume)
You will find this function:
function soundFallbackAlarm(self)
log:warn("soundFallbackAlarm()")
self.localPlayer:volumeLocal(43)
self.localPlayer:stop(true)
self.alarmInProgress = 'rtc'
self.localPlayer:playFileInLoop(self.alarmTone)
end
4. change the value of 43 to a lower one, e.g. 20:
self.localPlayer:volumeLocal(20)
5. save the file and you don't wake up with a heart-attack-alarm
Hopefully you don't need the fallback alarm.
