[SlimDevices: Radio] Argh! Backup alarm every morning, but streams fine when preset pressed

2009-12-08 Thread CECat
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone Connected to mysqueezebox.com and all working well for a few days. Set my chosen wake-up station to my Favorites list. Alarm sound is set to that station. Before bed, I play the same station, and tell it to sleep in 30 minutes, which it does.

I know its not ideal, but is there an applet/menu setting, that allows you to set the headphone jack to line level out, then when deselected the regular speaker volume/headphone volume goes back to the previous setting.. I hate having to crank the volume to use an external speaker, only to have

It's a good suggestion, and I've thought about the possibility of the problem just being the power supply, but unfortunately, I don't have a meter (and I don't know anyone who has one I could borrow). -- boolittlek

[SlimDevices: Radio] Imminent Return -- How to Fix Alarms? Search? Tone Controls?

Ok, I've had SlimDevices products running nicely at home for five or six years now. The Boom is silly expensive, as is the Radio at $200, but at $160, I thought it could fill some specific needs. It is failing. Here are the critical problems: * Alarm -- fails if Internet connection not solid;

The alarm even fails with a rock solid internet connection. The quirks of the European MYSB datacenter plus the dynamic IPs used in most European countries are more than enough to wipe away any semblance of reliability. Logitech really screwed this up big time and they are either not willing to

Not sure why you think running own server prevents you from using BBC app - installed from Apps Gallery. Alternative source is Radiofeeds app again from Apps Gallery. The BBCiPlayer plugin also has latest BBC URLs Finally if you want to enter them yourself as favorites get them from here

It would be nice if there was an option to set a larger, double height clock/icon bar while a stream or file is playing, perhaps with a translucent background to extend the cover art area... That clock is REALLY small... It wouldnt be too difficult to enlarge it without screwing up the

I'll add one more voice to the Radio losing the radio stream for no particular reason and then not automatically reconnecting. It is rather annoying to have to turn the unit off and back on just to get the station back. I've got good wireless signal in the house so I don't think that's it.
