2009-12-20 Thread Marc
I agree that the second approach sounds like the most desirable. It would be great to provide a checkbox in the per-player options for each button specifying whether to 'override' the global button behavior. I guess this would really just be the same as an 'enable' button, actually. The point

It really is hard to imagine why it should be so difficult to fix the alarm functionality (even if only in a temporary manner), using a local fallback sound at the Radio itself. Even if the connectivity problems with MySB aren't resolved quickly (one presumes this will take more development resou

The only reason my Radio and Boom were next to each other is because the Radio couldn't connect to wireless from various locations in my house. So I put it the same room as the Boom as a test. Though frankly, if two squeezeboxes truly interfere with each other's wireless connectivity, but two lap

Two laptops *CAN*, in fact, interfere with one another. Doesn't mean they always will, but I've certainly seen it before. Usually moving them a few to several feet away from each other will clear the problem when it does occur. Not sure of the conditions that cause it, but I've seen both wa

Thanks for your reply. Let me put this in a little better perspective. I own *ten* Squeezeboxes: one V2, five V3's, three Booms, and a Radio. None of them has networking problems in my house except the Radio. I was able to get the Radio to connect wirelessly once from one room. When I turned it

I'm confused. How will you setup the hostname? I'd think it's too different problems. If you map the MAC of your Radio to a particular IP; you should be able to map that IP to a given hostname assuming your router supports that feature. If your router doesn't support that feature how were you int
