Two things: I have seen worse server versions than 7.7.2, if you want
all the bugs out, try 7.3 beta or 7.8 beta (this may have other bugs but
I'm quite happy with it myself). The important part is to turn off the
scanning for images and videos (no, this has nothing to do with album
artwork) if yo
So my SB Radio is revision 0007 per a cat of /proc/cpuinfo.
...sigh...
Sorry, but I'm going to vent...
This absolutely ludicrous!! I don't care what actual hardware exists
inside the box, it is a squeezebox radio (says so right on the case!).
It's not a Radio Rev. 2, it's not a UE Smart Radio

That is truely evil if that is what is really going on! Ugh!!

Yes. But also: this is what you've got here, too: it's a new hardware
that only works with the server version available when it came to, it's
just that you can't immediately see that it's a new hardware.

I speculate that the last production run of Radio realy is the UE
hardware , they just did not care the match the transition .
Given that Logitech does not care for user with a local server anymoore
and mysqueezebox.com is always up to date .
I think someone took a shortcut and hoped a small run

Well, I think they just didn't think about it when bringing in the new
hardware revision. Remember,mist always been a Slimdevices (even before
Logitech times) philosophy that you should always use the latest server
version with your device and match up firmware and server.

Thanks pippin.
I'm finding that it won't "auto brick" when you try to connect it to an
older server, it just immediately fails with no details as to why.
If I find that it is the new hardware, I won't waste my time trying to
manually downgrade to the older firmware - I don't need to deal with

Well, I can definitely tell you about people who tried it (with a
Squeezebox Radio) and it didn't work. The problem is that the radio
pulls the update but then crashes on install so you've got a semi-brick
and need to do a firmware reset.
Logitech needs to communicate that, IMHO, it must give the

Simple test, run LMS 7.7.2 on a different computer (i.e. not the
computer currently running your LMS 7.5), connect Radio to LMS 7.7.2,
see if it connects.
It won't update/downgrade cuz 7.7.2 is what your Radio currently has,
having been connected to MySB.com.

I may have confused people because this thread is indeed about
downgrading the UE smart radio.
The only reason I posted here was I wanted to know if the manual

I've tried that, but it behaves strangely. The radio doesn't show up in
the list of players on the web page. it will let me browse my music
library and appears to play when I play something, but no sound comes
out of the speaker. Since there is a mismatch between the server and
player firmware,
Tried just dismissing the firmware update/downgrade on LMS? Left or
Home button?
