+1, I'm in the UK also. As an aside what I don't get is why the official battery is delayed. IIRC AndyG said they are stockpiled waiting on 7.4.2 to be released. Then the website say 31st March (which isn't in line with the 7.4.2 timescales that have been hinted at ie days -> weeks). If 7.4.2 was

If the new software is required before releasing the battery, then it is highly likely it's a safety issue. In the case of Logitech telling you not to build batteries, it's your call. They don't tell you not to build power supplies. Non Logitech stuff is out of the scope of operations and warra

I have seen something similar a couple of times, too. I don't remember if the display was one track behind or one track ahead of the audio, but it was consistently one track off on all players and also on the web interface. This is probably a server issue, not just a problem specific to the radio.

Reboot loops I have seen during the beta were usually caused by a bug with what was playing. If the currently playing song caused a bug that caused a reboot, then the reboot would happen again when it started and tried to play the same bit again... Just make sure you're using the latest firmware

Just to complicate things, an applet might also depend on a plugin installed on the server. AFAIK. I do think it's a shame that you can't add SOME functionality with just plugins, like you can with the slim players. :( -- Aslak3 (SB 2, SB Boom, SB Radio) -
