Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What is the alarm like?
I just ordered a radio, and I'm a little confused as to how alarms interact between the radio and squeezebox server and mysqueezebox.com. I need to be able to set an alarm, and have it be effective regardless of which source the radio is connected to at alarm time. It would also be nice if I could set the alarm anywhere (radio, SS, or MSB). For example if I go to sleep listening to local music on squeezebox server, but the alarm was set in the mysqueezebox.com web interface, the alarm should still fire. Do I have to do anything special to have this happen? I understand how the backup alarms (no connectivity) work, so don't need any clarification there? Also, I know this is a more general question about how alarms function, than a specific radio question. If you're aware of posts or articles that already exist which explain this functionality, please point me that way. I tried a few searches, and looked at wiki.slimdevices.com, and didn't find any information on this. Thanks!

You'll need to radically pare down SC to run on Radio or Controller though - it would be easier to start from scratch probably. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta, PQP1 - early beta), SBC (early beta), Squeezebox Radio (PB1 - early beta), Squeezebox Touch (late beta) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

If you can't find any info on the Touch as a server you haven't been looking hard enough ;) Check out threads on TinySC and using USB/SD with the Touch. -- andynormancx Yes, it will.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What is the alarm like?
Thanks for clearing that up :) So there is SqueezeOS running, but not much use for a server (because no USB). You could develop other things on it (idea's?). Is this also open for everyone,just like with the (duet) controller? A few years ago I developed the software for the touch-screen remote control used in CitizenM hotels.

Welcome to the forums. As for SB Touch running as the server, look at many of the posts -- especially in the Touch forum -- since the new products were announced last week. SB Touch runs a stripped-down version of SqueezeCenter, which has been called "TinySC" during the development period, although eventually it will have some other name. The beta versions of SB Radio do not run "TinySC", and there would be little gain from doing so because the SB Radio has no provision for connected storage. The SB Touch, on the other hand, has a USB port to support external USB drives or flash drives, as well as an SD slot. The Touch is capable of making the music on the USB port or SD slot available to other SB players on via its on-board server software. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

@Justme: A bit of a pity the radio doesn't have the server built in like the Touch How do you know this? It wouldn't suprise me if the Radio runs SqueezeOS (Jive) just like the Duet Controller, which gives some possibilities... I do not know what you exactly mean by "Server", also cannot find any info on the Touch running as server.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What is the alarm like?
Does anyone know whether the alarm has a backup function in case the main source is unavailable? For example, if the alarm is set to play a radio station, but ADSL connection is lost, will the Radio default to making some other sound? Or will it just sit there silently displaying a rebuffering or "can't resolve ip address" message while the user snoozes on..?

Sounds good. Thanks for this tips.

The beta testers haven't seen this yet, but the units from manufacturing go *very* dim.

How does this look at night? Any images? The clocks for the Radio are the same as those you can see in the Touch thread "Clock" (you recently posted there, so I assume you've seen them by now). The Radio is supposed to auto-dim, but at present that doesn't seem to be working quite right. So I just use the manual setting and set it to about 20% brightness and it's fine for me as a bedside table clock radio. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
