Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Mediafly

It's not the lack of the special features that I am complaining about. (Although they would be lovely and make it so I could use my Radio at home for long podcasts instead of having to turn on the computer and download everything to my mp3 player.)It is Mediafly.com itself which is totally opaque.

Hi all. Just hooked up my new SB Radio and it downloaded the latest revision of the firmware. I am able to set the alarm for M-F at 6:00 a.m., have it turn on to Pandora, and everything. The one problem I am having, is that regardless of whether I click "Snooze" or "Turn Alarm Off", the alarm alwa

thunder3dan: Sounds like a bug to me. I don't know what's going on, but could you try some things to help diagnose the issue? Do you have other Squeezeboxes? If so, can you verify that the alarms for those players are: 1. Off 2. If On, verify that the alarm time, sound, etc. are set properly?

I don't know if it's unique to my situation, but with 9009, I've also walked by the radio in the middle of the day and found the "Connecting to MySqueezebox.com" screen displaying, sometimes over and over. And when this "loop" starts, I have no recourse but to reboot the radio, and then it's fine

The snooze on my squeezebox radio is not working correctly. I use mysqueezebox.com and don't run a local squeezebox server. I have the alarm set for Monday through Friday with the snooze set to 10 mins. The alarm comes on at the correct time and than I hit the snooze. Instead of waiting 10 min
